As soon as Zhuang Rui finished speaking, everyone around here looked at the ancient master.
Gu Gu attaches great importance to supporting juniors in the jade industry. He used to go to various jade associations to give lectures or teach apprentices. Many people know him. However, in recent years, Gu Gu has grown older and rarely goes out to give lectures or attend various jade exhibitions.
Well, having the opportunity to listen to the ancient commentary on jade today is a great opportunity for everyone.
"You brat, you actually used your uncle as a shield..."
Seeing everyone's expectant looks, Gu Gu smiled and scolded Zhuang Rui, then took off a piece of jade from his waist.
"The most popular way to play ancient jade is to use a combination of fast and slow dials. Just now Xiaozhuang also said that almost no one has tried Italian dials. But old man, I got a good piece of jade when I was young. This
I have been using the mind chart method for decades, so let me tell you about my experience of mind chart."
As soon as Gu Gu said these words, the four people were immediately shocked. Zhuang Rui had already mentioned the difficulty of Yi Pan before, and also explained that Yi Pan was almost a legendary method of playing. They didn't expect Gu Gu to pass down this method of Pan.
Being able to hear the ancient teaching experience with their own ears, everyone felt that the trip was worthwhile, they started talking in low voices, and their eyes were fixed on the jade in the ancient hand.
While Gu Yu was talking, he handed the piece of jade in his hand to Zhuang Rui and said, "Everyone knows the eight words "what you feel with sincerity, metal and stone are opened." In fact, this sentence comes from Gu Yu's method of mind disk.
The ancients said something like this: Touching it all the time, thinking about the virtues of jade, is enough to transform my temperament, improve my temperament, and make my life pure and blinded by selfless desires. When I feel it with sincerity, the stone is opened.
I have had this piece of jade for almost forty years, and now as long as I hold it in my hand, I will feel a blood connection between myself and this jade. This jade seems to be alive and breathing, old man
I have experienced a lot of ups and downs, but as long as I have this piece of jade in my hand, my mood will calm down. I personally feel that this is the effect of the mind plate."
The old man's words made everyone look at the piece of jade in Zhuang Rui's hand, with many envious looks in their eyes. From the ancient perspective, the quality of the jade must not be bad. A piece of jade has been on the plate for forty years, and with the addition of jade,
The value in itself is almost priceless.
What the old man took out was a jade pendant. It was not big, only the size of a child's palm. On the front of the jade pendant was carved a strange beast, with feet on the wind and clouds, short wings, a dragon head with two legs, a horse's body, and unicorn feet, shaped like
It is as powerful as a lion, with protruding eyes and long fangs in its mouth. Its details are carved lifelike, and its hair is fully visible.
Zhuang Rui knew this shape. It should be the evil-absorbing beast Pixiu. However, what surprised Zhuang Rui was the clear color of this jade. Holding it in his hand, Zhuang Rui carefully distinguished it. There were actually six types of this Pixiu toy.
Qin color, you know, Qin color is acquired. Ancient jades with two or three qin colors are more common, and more than four are extremely rare. Ancient jades with five qin colors are priceless treasures. This jade pendant is actually
There are six kinds of Qin colors. No wonder the ancient master used the mind-pan method to cultivate jade.
Attached to the jade pendant was a dark red rope with a Chinese knot. Zhuang Rui pulled hard and it felt very tough.
"Uncle Gu, is this a piece of warm jade?" Zhuang Rui held the piece of jade and felt a warm and slippery feeling in his hand, so he couldn't help but ask the old man.
"Yes, this is the warm jade produced in Lantian. It is of high quality. I got it by accident when I was young. It has been with me for more than forty years. Although I have played with other jade in these years, this piece of jade is of high quality.
I haven’t changed it yet, haha, I have relied on it many times to ward off evil spirits and turn bad luck into good luck.”
Several young people disagreed with the ancient words. It was just a legend that jade could ward off evil spirits. I had never heard of anyone who had a piece of jade on his body and was safe from illness and disaster.
"Uncle, I heard that jade with five clear colors is rarely seen. I have never heard of jade with six clear colors."
"Haha, don't tell me you haven't heard of it. Not many people have seen six-color Qin ancient jade. There are more than 30,000 pieces of ancient jade hidden in the Palace Museum, and you can't find even a few pieces of Liu-color Qin."
When Gu Gu talked about this, he couldn't help but show a look of pride on his face.
"This piece is a third-generation ancient jade. When I got it, it was unearthed not long ago. Its surface color was similar to lime, and its texture was like clay. The color of the jade could not be seen under bright light. Now it is barely cooked.
Yes, this red area is commonly known as the baby’s face..."
Gu Gu took the jade brave from Zhuang Rui and rubbed it in his hands with great care.
"Gu Gu, how much is this piece of jade worth?" The boss, a layman, asked about the price right away. However, this was what everyone wanted to know, so they all pricked up their ears and listened.
"Haha, this jade has been with me for decades. If you bring me a mountain of gold, I won't change it..."
The old man replied with a smile, but he did not specify the true price of this jade brave. He heard the boss curse in his heart: Old fox.
"Ancient, we are not up to this level of understanding. Can you please tell me how to identify this ancient jade? I have been playing with jade for several years and spent a lot of money. None of the ancient jade I bought is genuine.
Yes, the water in this jade business is too deep."
A voice emerged from the crowd, and everyone nodded. Everyone present, including the jade merchants, had mistakenly bought fake jade.
"Nine times out of ten, the ancient jade in the antique market is fake. The price of real ancient jade is very high. I don't agree with people who are new to the industry playing with ancient jade. It's hard to find good things. It's just a waste of money."
He said it made him feel bad.
Not long ago, a large number of counterfeit jade articles from the Warring States and Han Dynasty suddenly appeared on the market, such as jade chariots and horses, jade bells, jade walking sticks, and jade horn cups. Some people spent hundreds of thousands.
Some people also spent millions to buy this batch of jade."
"Old man, it must be fake, right?" Someone in the crowd laughed.
"Yes, what's more, one person bought six sets of gold jade clothes. Not long after, these things continued to appear in the antique market, and they became cheaper and cheaper. There is no need to take them for appraisal.
, I also know that it is fake, so don’t deliberately look for ancient jade, otherwise the next person who buys fake jade may be you.”
The old man's words immediately caused a burst of laughter from the onlookers.
Gu Gu waved his hands, waited until the crowd became quiet, and said: "Don't laugh, everyone. Let alone outsiders, even insiders often look at them. The batch of fake Gao Guyu I just mentioned happened to me.
Things in the lives of old friends.
He was a doctoral student taught by an old friend of mine. He majored in archeology and museums. The young man often went to antique shops to pick out some small objects. Last year, he saw a batch of ancient jades in an antique shop.
There are jade Zhangs, jade knives, jade bis, jade huangs, jade horn cups and other objects.
According to the owner of the shop, these jade wares date from the Han Dynasty, and some are even as early as the Shang and Zhou dynasties. In particular, some of the types of jade wares in them, such as jade horn cups, jade bis, and jade huangs, are typical of the jade wares of the Han Dynasty.
As we all know, the jade wares of the Han Dynasty more than two thousand years ago are considered to be the highest peak of the development of jade wares in China. Among them, the most representative of the jade craftsmanship of the Han Dynasty are jade for daily use, jade for display and jade for decoration.
The jade horn cup is a very important utensil in daily life. It is a drinking vessel used by princes and nobles. The jade bi and jade huang are both ceremonial jade and display jade. These jade wares generally use round carving and high relief techniques to embody
Showing exquisite and noble artistic style.
This antique shop attracted many colleagues in the circle to appreciate it. Some of them were also known to the student. At that time, the owner of the shop found that he was very interested in these jade articles, so he told the student that if he wanted to buy them, he could
Discounted transfer prices.
This student was also in his mid-thirties and had a certain financial foundation. After several rounds of bargaining, he bought this jade horn cup and some other jade articles, among which the jade horn cup was the most expensive. Since then, many more
I went to this store to buy ancient jade for the first time. In the past year, I bought more than 70 pieces of Han Dynasty jade, spending a total of more than 400,000 yuan.
I happened to go to that city last month, and an old friend asked me to take a look. Haha, everyone knows the result. They are all made of modern jade. The reason why these fake jade looks antique and lifelike is that some
Made by professional dealers using special techniques."
"Old man, how can this Qin color be fake? How can I identify it? I was in trouble last year. I bought a three-color Qin ancient jade from the Han Dynasty for 80,000 yuan. Who knew that it was fake when it was authenticated?" spread among the crowd.
Make a sound.
"Haha, that's because you are greedy. Han jade is almost rare in the antique market now. You must know that the jade of the Han Dynasty was not circulated as a commodity. It was made and used by the emperor with a monopoly.
When did common people start using jade? It was the Three Kingdoms period. During the Three Kingdoms period, wars were in chaos and tomb robberies became common. Some people unearthed jade clothes with gold threads from the Han Dynasty. After being seen by Cao Pi of the Three Kingdoms, the jade clothes with gold threads were not as good as the legend.
In order to preserve corpses, the system of jade clothing with gold threads was abolished. From then on, jade became popular among the people.
Larger jade articles from the Han Dynasty are basically no longer available in the market. What can be handed down now are only some small pieces, such as jade sword ornaments and small jade pendants, and there is only a very small chance that they will reach the market.
Everything else is probably fake.
As for the counterfeiting of jade, there are many ways to form the color, no less than a dozen. Let me briefly mention it. One is the soaking method in medicinal liquid: that is, putting the jade article into a chemical liquid mixed with color, and after several
After being soaked for several days, this clear color will appear on the surface, usually appearing as reddish-brown, yellow-brown and other colors.
This is the most common method of "making old" jade, also called "artificial dyeing". Most unscrupulous merchants use this method.
There is also a counterfeiting method that forms a dark brown color on the surface of jade, which is called the smoking method; that is, the utensils are smoked and baked in fireworks. After a short period of time, the surface of the jade will show a dark color.
The dark brown feeling buried underground has the flavor of black lacquer and ancient jade.
In fact, it is very simple to identify the authenticity of Qin color. Fake Qin color is usually bright and shiny. If you have doubts about the jade you want to buy, you might as well take alcohol cotton and wipe it on the jade for a while to see if there is any jade on the cotton.
The Qinse color, if any, is questionable and is probably fake.
Also, under strong light, the color of jade is very consistent, with a hazy appearance, lacks transitional colors, and is relatively single in color, so this kind of jade is also questionable. In this case, it is best not to buy it.
Alas, people nowadays are becoming more and more impetuous. Before liberation, those old people who had aged jade still talked about "honesty", that is, "concealing the age but not the material", that is, when old or new
The serious Hetian white jade is carved with new work, made old and then sold at a high price.
If these things were today, they would be considered "good things"! It's a pity that the so-called jade, glass, plastic, quartz, etc. are all sold on the market."
When Gu Gu talked about the latter part, he became a little excited. The emergence of these unscrupulous businessmen is extremely detrimental to the development of the jade industry. It is because of these people that many people who are interested in jade collection have stopped. The reason is simple.
, I would like to ask you, if you buy jade and suffer losses several times in a row, will you dare to buy it next time?
Although the cultural level of these fakers is not very high, they are all good at understanding people's psychology. Whatever jade is popular in the market, they can make it, no matter the workmanship, materials or color, then
They are all able to look fake and fake, not to mention newcomers to the industry, even veterans who have been working for decades, if their "eyes" are even slightly worse, they will pay tuition by piercing their eyes.
"Gu Gu, you see there are so many people gathered here, the hotel has some objections, why don't you go upstairs and have a rest first? I'll be waiting for you here tonight." I saw that the onlookers were still chattering.
Asked the question, the middle-aged man who was with Gu Gu couldn't sit still anymore, so he walked up to Gu Gu and whispered.
After Gu Gu heard the words, he wanted to look around, and he was indeed surrounded here, so he said helplessly: "Okay, let's go upstairs first, Xiaozhuang, I don't have time in the evening, let's have dinner together at noon tomorrow."
Zhuang Rui had long been uncomfortable with these people, and quickly agreed: "Okay, uncle, you go and rest first, I will call you tomorrow."
Zhuang Rui and Wei Wei lost their strength and protected the old man into the elevator. They were all covered in stinky sweat. The fourth man smiled and said: "My dear, you guys in the antique world also pay attention to chasing stars."
"Okay, let's go upstairs and take a shower."
Zhuang Rui couldn't help but shudder when he saw that the people in the sofa area had not dispersed yet. When the next elevator arrived, he quickly got in.
"Wait a moment……"
Just when the elevator door was about to close, Zhuang Rui suddenly saw a familiar figure walking in at the hotel door.
