Boss Gao has full confidence in this tea set. Speaking of which, this tea set has been in his hands for six or seven years. It is the most precious thing in his hand. Even the few pieces of Gao Bingzhong's jewelry cannot compare to him.
Love this tea set.
"Boss, just tell me, Xiao Can has told me how awesome you are so many times in front of me, and you also want to open my eyes!"
Chen Lei also said something, and even Wang Jiajia also looked at Li Yang curiously. She knew that Li Yang was most famous for jade, but he had never seen Li Yang's accomplishments in jade. When he was in Hong Kong, Li Yang
What is expressed is more about the level of porcelain.
"Okay, I'll just tell you!"
Li Yang sighed slightly. Boss Gao, Chen Lei and Niu Ling all sat upright. Wang Jiajia did not move. She was sitting very straight.
"Hendustan Jade, let's start with the Traceustan. Boss Gao, you should know what Traceustan means, right?"
"Of course, I did a lot of research before buying this set. Hardustan is the name of a place in ancient times, which is modern Kashmir and western Pakistan. It was the ancient Islamic country of Hardustan!"
Boss Gao nodded immediately. Both Chen Lei and Niu Ling widened their eyes. Even Niu Ling heard Boss Gao explain the origin of this tea set for the first time. She also did not expect that her uncle's treasure was actually a foreign product.
Li Yang nodded and said: "Boss Gao, you are right. The most famous time for Hendustan jade was during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, and it had a great relationship with Emperor Qianlong!"
"Brother Li, why is this jade still related to Emperor Qianlong?"
Niu Ling couldn't help interrupting Li Yang and asked. Boss Gao glared at her hastily. Niu Ling stuck out her tongue and stopped talking.
Li Yang didn't care at all. He smiled and asked: "Lao Wu, my brothers and sisters, have you seen "Huan Zhu Ge Ge"?"
"I've seen it, I've watched it several times, but the third part didn't look good because of the different actors!"
Niu Ling immediately replied, and Chen Lei also nodded. Back then, "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" was popular all over the country. Even Li Yang had watched many episodes, and so had Chen Lei.
"Do you still remember the fragrant concubine in "Huanzhugege"?"
"Remember, it was because of her that Xiao Yanzi and Ziwei ran away from home, but that story is the most interesting!"
Niu Ling nodded immediately. For girls, such bloody dramas are the most attractive. Wang Jiajia also nodded. She has also watched this drama.
"Qianlong's concubines had a Xiangfei, who was a Uyghur. She was the daughter of the Uighur leader Ali Hezhuo. It's just a legend that Xiangfei's body was full of fragrance, but she did exist in history. In fact, Xiangfei was Qianlong.
Concubine Rong, just because of her identity as a Uyghur, has given many legends to future generations!"
"If this person really exists, I thought he was a legend!"
Niu Ling was stunned and said blankly, while Boss Gao looked at Li Yang thoughtfully. Li Yang said that these must be related to the Hendustan jade tea set in front of him.
"Xiang Fei is real. When Xiang Fei married Qianlong, she brought a lot of dowry. Among them, there was a kind of jade that Qianlong loved the most. This kind of jade has a thin body and is light and delicate in the hand. It is as light as floating clouds.
Feeling. Qianlong specifically gave the evaluation of being as thin as a cicada's wings. Although it is not that exaggerated, it is an indisputable fact that the jade from Tracestan is very thin!"
Li Yang said with a smile, and Boss Gao also had a smile on his face. Sure enough, it was related to this set of tea sets. In comparison, Li Yang was more knowledgeable. He actually used Xiang Fei to introduce this set of jade tea sets. It was worthy of being said.
A master-level expert.
"Boss, is this what you're talking about?"
Chen Lei was stunned and his eyes widened, while Li Yang chuckled and shook his head: "Hundustan jade is a large category, not just a single set!"
"That's it, boss, please continue!"
Chen Lei scratched his head and felt a little embarrassed. Li Yang mentioned that these things were different from others, which attracted them from the beginning.
"There are generally two types of Handustan jades handed down from generation to generation. One is purely made from Trackustan, which is the jade article introduced from Tracestan to the Central Plains. Most of these jade articles flowed into the imperial palace at that time. Concubine Xiang loved this kind of jade.
Jade, Qianlong also liked this type of jade, and many other people in the palace also fell in love with this type of jade. In addition, this type of jade was indeed very practical, so it became very popular for a while during the Qianlong period, and thus appeared
The second type of Tracestan jade!”
"What is the second one?" Wang Jiajia couldn't help but ask.
Li Yang glanced at Wang Jiajia, smiled and continued: "The second type is the craftsmen in the palace. Based on the jade imitations of tracestan jade that flowed in, this type of jade is also called 'Xifanzuo'. In addition, there are
Some of the jade wares made in Japan by some craftsmen from the Western Regions are also called 'Xi Fan Zuo'!"
"I understand, one type is jade that is purely imported from abroad, and the other type is domestic imitation. No matter whether the craftsmen are domestic or foreign, they are all made here, right?"
Chen Lei suddenly said something, and Li Yang nodded with a smile: "You are right, you are worthy of being a person working in a foreign trade company!"
Chen Lei opened his mouth, feeling a little dazed, and then actually showed a bit of embarrassment.
"This is the origin of Tracetistan jade. No matter which kind, it can be said to be the authentic Tracetistan jade. They are all real old things. There are not many traces of Tracetistan jade currently circulating on the market.
, especially those that come in sets, they are priceless treasures!”
Li Yang smiled again, and Boss Gao's face immediately showed a little pride. Traces of Stan jade are indeed very rare, and when he collected them in this set, they were treated as authentic works from the Western Regions. There are even fewer such things.
.
"The most typical feature of Hendustan jade is its thinness. This kind of jade uses water grinding technology, which can grind the carcass until it is translucent. There is a saying that 'Xikun jade is so skillful that water-milled jade is as thin as paper'. This point
It was very different from many domestic jades at that time. At that time, the main focus of domestic jade was quality and quality, that is, jade quality and carving work. It was rare for jade masters to carve jade so thinly!"
"This piece of jade is so thin!"
Chen Lei pointed to the teapot on the table. This teapot was indeed very thin, and the thick-colored tea leaves inside could even be seen on the outside.
Li Yang added: "In addition to being thin, another major feature of Hendustan jade is its practicality. At that time, this kind of jade was mainly provided for the enjoyment of nobles, so practicality came first!"
"This set is a tea set, it should be a practical thing, right?"
Niu Ling looked at the tea set carefully and mumbled. Tea sets are indeed practical items. Tea sets made of jade were not uncommon in history, and some exquisite ones have been handed down.
"There is also the selection of materials. The production process of Tracestan jade is complicated, and the selection of jade materials is also very strict. They are generally high-quality white jade or sapphire. For craftsmen, they prefer white jade and sapphire jade. These are
The main material for making Tracestan jade!”
Boss Gao couldn't help but clapped his hands and raised his thumb: "I admire you, you are worthy of being a Jade Sage. Listening to your words is worth ten years of studying!"
Li Yang chuckled and shook his head: "Boss Gao, please don't praise me. These are the basics. I'm afraid even you know these. I'm just briefly introducing the characteristics of Hendustan jade!"
"Haha, Mr. Li, you are being humble. I know all this, but I only found out about it after consulting a lot of information. Unlike you, who can tell so much just by looking at it!"
Boss Gao laughed loudly, and Li Yang shook his head gently. He only said that this was the characteristic of Hendustan jade, but he did not say that it was the characteristic of the set of jade in front of him.
"Li Yang, this set is a typical Tracestan jade article. I think they are consistent with what you just mentioned!"
Wang Jiajia suddenly flashed her cute eyes and pointed at the tea set in front of her. Chen Lei, Niu Ling and Boss Gao all turned their eyes to Li Yang again.
Li Yang sighed slightly in his heart. In fact, after he told so many stories, he just didn't want to really comment on this tea set, but Wang Jiajia asked about it, and now he couldn't even think about it.
"That's right, what I just said are typical and basic characteristics of Hendustan jade, but there are still some differences in this set!"
Li Yang sighed slightly. As soon as he finished speaking, Boss Gao was stunned. Wang Jiajia, Niu Ling and Chen Lei also looked at Li Yang with wide eyes.
"Boss, what's the discrepancy? Isn't this a jade from Tracestan?"
Chen Lei asked anxiously if he could be with Niu Ling. Boss Gao actually gave him a lot of help. At that time, Boss Gao didn't know the relationship between Chen Lei and Li Yang. He just helped because he was optimistic about Chen Lei.
of them.
Chen Lei always rewards those who are kind to him twice. Li Yang now has the intention to object to this set of jade tea sets. No wonder he is a little anxious.
"I'm not saying that this is not a Tracestan jade. It is indeed the shape of a Tracestan jade, but it is not the real thing, but a modern imitation!"
Li Yang sighed again. Out of professional ethics, he would definitely not tell false things to be true. That would be deception.
This tea set actually has a lot of loopholes. Boss Gao was deceived because he didn’t know anything about antiques but only about jade. If he had truly understood all the characteristics of the Hedostan jade, he would not have regarded this modern imitation set as the real thing*
**It's on.
"Mr. Li, could you please speak more clearly?"
Boss Gao stood up, his face still a little anxious. Anyone who hears others commenting that his treasure of many years is a fake will not remain calm, let alone his favorite thing in his hand.
"Boss, please make it clear. I think these things are in line with the characteristics you mentioned!"
Chen Lei also said something hastily. Li Yang looked at Chen Lei and shook his head gently, then glanced at Boss Gao, and then said slowly: "This set of jade articles has many basic characteristics of Tracestan jade.
However, there are still several obvious loopholes. From these loopholes, we can basically conclude that this is a recent imitation, and it will not be too long, no more than twenty years!"
"As I said just now, the biggest feature of Tracestan jade is its thinness, which requires very high craftsmanship. Usually, a whole piece of jade is chosen for production. In other words, any piece of jade is made of one piece.
The whole piece of jade is carved and polished!”
Boss Gao nodded silently. He is someone who understands jade and knows the characteristics of this type of jade.
"In addition to the requirements for the overall raw materials, the process requirements for each step in the production process are also very high. If cracks appear in the jade during any process, it is unacceptable. For example, cracks appear during the polishing process.
If there is a crack as small as a needle tip, the whole piece of jade will be discarded!"
After Li Yang said this, Boss Gao hurriedly looked at the jade tea set carefully. The cups were fine, and his eyes finally fell on the teapot.
Boss Gao did not doubt what Li Yang said. With Li Yang's current status and reputation, he would not lie to him at all, let alone say something that he was not sure about. Since Li Yang said so, what about his trick?
There may be something really wrong with the tea set.
Only Boss Gao doesn't know what's wrong, and that's what he wants to know most right now.
"There are no cracks, boss. Did you see it wrong?"
Chen Lei also leaned over and looked at it for a long time before asking Li Yang doubtfully. Li Yang chuckled and shook his head, not paying any attention to Chen Lei's question.
Li Yang pointed at the spout of the teapot. On the upper edge of the spout, there was something like a plum blossom in a small area. When Li Yang pointed, everyone looked there.
Especially Boss Gao, who directly took the teapot in his hand and looked carefully at the place pointed by Li Yang. After a long while, he put the teapot down. Based on his experience, he could slowly discover that this was a place.
Crack, what Li Yang said was not wrong.
However, the location of this crack is too special, and there are some other patterns on the edge of the mouth of the pot, so that no one can notice that it is a crack. If Li Yang hadn't pointed it out, I'm afraid he wouldn't have discovered this in the future.
People will care about this.
"This kind of crack on the edge of the mouth is also called a gap. In the jargon, there is a saying, 'People are afraid of turning around, and stove bottles are afraid of gaps.' Teapots are also a type of stove bottles. A gap on the edge is definitely a fatal mistake.
!”
"Brother Li, did the cracks appear only after the jade carving was completed? Wouldn't it have little impact?"
Niu Ling suddenly said that her uncle had loved her the most since she was a child. At this time, she naturally wanted to help her uncle speak up. Seeing that her uncle's favorite things had turned into fakes, she couldn't accept it.
"It is possible, but it is not very likely. It can be said that this possibility is extremely slim!"
Li Yang chuckled and shook his head, while Boss Gao nodded. The possibility of cracks on the edge of the finished jade article was indeed unlikely, unless someone deliberately damaged it.
"Mr. Li, please continue. You just mentioned many loopholes in this article, and now you just mentioned one. I hope you can point out the others!"
Boss Gao looked back at Li Yang and said sincerely. He didn't mean anything else by saying this. He just wanted to find out what was wrong with the baby he had been using for a long time. Even if it was a fake,
You need to know clearly where the lies lie.
