"Let me tell you?" Ma Shiwei raised his finger and pointed at his nose, looking very surprised.
"Mr. Li, we in archeology are not engaged in identification. Isn't it difficult for me to do this?"
Ma Shiwei laughed bitterly again. Several people around him said nothing and looked at Ma Shiwei with smiles on their faces. Seeing so many eyes focused on him, Ma Shiwei shook his head helplessly.
"Okay, I said, but I can only speak from my professional perspective. You still have to ask Mr. Li, a great expert, whether it's right or not. He is the real expert and connoisseur!"
Ma Shiwei looked very helpless. Li Yang looked at him with a smile and said nothing.
Ma Shiwei's expression made Li Yang understand even more. He must have seen something. From an archaeological perspective, what would the result of an artifact look like? Li Yang was also very curious about this.
"Let me tell you, this thing has nothing to do with the Lanting Reception!"
After more than a minute, Ma Shiwei said softly. When Ma Shiwei said this, the smile on Li Yang's face became even brighter.
"It doesn't matter?"
He Jie couldn't help but frown. This was an ancient wine glass. It didn't look like a high-quality product, and it was also somewhat damaged. If it had nothing to do with celebrities, this glass would not be as valuable as he thought.
"Yes, it shouldn't matter. I'm not an expert, and I can't tell what period this cup is from, but I can see some problems with the paint on it. Judging from the paint, it should have been painted during the Warring States Period.
Go up!"
Ma Shiwei nodded again, Li Yang's eyes lit up slightly, and he nodded silently.
This wine glass is indeed from the Warring States Period, but Li Yang identified it based on the shape and decoration, as well as the verification of special abilities. The aperture on it also shows its age.
The things from the Warring States period definitely have nothing to do with the Lanting Wine Party. There is a gap of six to seven hundred years, or even more.
At the Lanting Reception, this thing was considered an antique. People in that period were not as enthusiastic about antiques as they are now. Many people were not even willing to buy them, let alone those famous artists.
Use an old cup like this to drink.
"From an archaeological point of view, first of all, this is a piece of lacquerware. Lacquer is a very anti-corrosive thing. It has been used in China more than 7,000 years ago. As time goes by, lacquer has another function.
, that’s decoration!”
Ma Shiwei said slowly, Li Yang just looked at him with a smile and did not speak. Lacquerware is also a type of lacquerware in Japan. However, because there are relatively few good-quality early lacquerwares left, the unearthed ones are not easy to preserve, and there are no
The later Ming and Qing lacquers are beautiful, but this kind of early ancient lacquerware has not received much market attention at present.
"Is Dr. Ma talking about paint?"
Tang Xiaoxiao frowned, looked at the wine glass in front of her carefully, and couldn't help but ask again.
Ma Shiwei was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile, and looked back at Li Yang.
Li Yang sighed slightly in his heart, sat up straight, and took Tang Xiaoxiao's question: "Dr. Tang, paint is the current name. In the past, oil was oil and paint was paint. There was not much relationship between them!
"
"Yeah?"
Tang Xiaoxiao raised his head and glanced at Li Yang, then lowered his head and continued to look at the wine glass in front of him without saying another word.
"Mr. Li is right. Lacquer is actually a kind of resin called lacquer, which is mostly produced in the south. The biggest function of this resin is anti-corrosion and bonding. In ancient times, lacquer was used in many furniture, because lacquer can not only prevent corrosion, but also
It can also stick things very firmly. At that time, lacquer was also nicknamed Ten Thousand Years Lao!"
Ma Shiwei paused, took a sip of coffee and continued: "We have all heard an idiom called Rujiaosiqi, which means as sticky as paint and glue. Later, it means that the feelings are so intense that they are inseparable. From this idiom, we can also
It can be seen that the viscosity of paint is very high, not inferior to glue at all!”
Sighing, Ma Shiwei continued: "The viscosity of paint is very high, but the color is very single. The earliest paints were mostly black and red. It was not until the Han Dynasty that colorful paint gradually appeared. Let's look at this wine glass. It
The only paint on it is black and red!”
As Ma Shiwei spoke, he pointed to the wine glass on the table, and everyone nodded. The color of this wine glass was indeed very simple. The red was not the bright red of later generations, but a very dark black-red.
"Also, the cracks on the top reveal the thicker paint paste inside. The lacquerware of each period actually has its own characteristics. During the Warring States Period, the paint paste was very thick and mostly dark. What period is this cup from?
I can’t say, but the paint does look like the paint from the Warring States Period!”
After Ma Shiwei finished speaking, he drank the coffee in one gulp and sat there quietly.
In fact, he still had a lot to say. This lacquerware was also unearthed, but it was unearthed much earlier than the pair of lion cubs. Ma Shiwei estimated that this thing was dug out at least more than a hundred years ago.
There are still many differences between the things excavated and the things handed down from ancient times. Ma Shiwei is an archaeological expert and has deeper research on underground things.
It's just that these are very professional things. He doesn't need to say them all, he just needs to express his opinions.
"I admire you. I think Professor Ma can change his career to become an appraiser!"
Li Yang extended his thumb again and said with a smile. Li Yang knew a little about lacquer, but he couldn't tell the age by looking at the characteristics of lacquer. Ma Shiwei could do it just by looking at the lacquer on the surface of this wine glass.
He judged that it was something from the Warring States Period, and he was definitely a real expert with real talent and knowledge.
"It's something from the Warring States Period, Li Yang, how much is this thing worth?"
He Jie asked again. He didn't understand either archeology or appraisal. The most intuitive thing for He Jie to look at was value. A high value means a good thing.
The expressions of Shi Qin and Tang Xiaoxiao were similar. They were concerned about how the paint on this thing was painted, or when it was painted. It would be better to just go and find out how much this thing is worth.
"At present, early ancient lacquerware has not received too much attention. Generally, its value is not too high. This cup has some damage. In addition, most wine cups come in sets, so a single cup will also affect its value!"
Li Yang hesitated for a moment, and then slowly said: "Based on the current market estimate, I think the market price of this wine glass should be around 20,000 yuan. If you meet someone who likes it, it might be 30,000 yuan. However,
I believe that such things will definitely increase in value in the future!”
"Twenty thousand?"
He Jie was slightly startled, and the interest on his face was obviously reduced a lot. A thing worth 20,000 yuan was still not in his eyes. At first, he thought it was another good thing worth millions.
Baby, the final result really disappointed him.
"Brother Jie, you can't just look at the value, but also its meaning. The old man often told me this!"
Looking at He Jie's look, Li Yang immediately guessed what he was thinking and said with a smile.
Li Yang persuaded He Jie, but he didn't particularly care. He Jie was not a prostitute and didn't understand the meaning of prostitutes. Li Yang now had very few prostitutes, and he didn't even have one.
Ancient lacquerware, this thing can be regarded as filling a gap in Li Yang's hands.
As for the better, national treasure-level ancient lacquerware, it all depends on luck.
In any case, this is a treasure that was bought for a few hundred dollars but can be worth tens of thousands of dollars. This can be considered a small leak. For Li Yang, picking up leaks is a kind of fun. Big or small leaks don't matter.
After resting for a while in the coffee shop, several people returned directly to the hotel. As the captain, Zhao Yong had to wait for Li Yang's orders and also checked into the hotel. He had a separate room by himself.
After a good night's rest, Li Yang felt better when he woke up the next day.
He Jie, Ma Shiwei and others' spirits had basically returned to normal. After breakfast, they called Shi Qin and Tang Xiaoxiao and they went to the Potala Palace together.
The most famous place in Lhasa is the Potala Palace. This city has too many close connections with this palace. No matter why you come to Lhasa, it would be a pity not to visit the Potala Palace.
Everyone returned to the hotel before 12 noon, packed their luggage, and got in the car directly after lunch.
Zhada County is located in the Ngari region of Japan, west of Lhasa. There is a distance of more than 1,300 kilometers from Lhasa to Zhada County.
This distance is nothing in the Central Plains with convenient transportation. It only takes more than ten hours to drive on the highway, but in Japan, these distances need to be walked for at least more than a day.
The person responsible for the safety of Li Yang and others was Zhao Yong. After discussing with Li Yang and He Jie, Zhao Yong decided to rush to Zada County in a day and a half. Their mission this time was not urgent.
When setting off, Li Yang called the old man again and reported his itinerary. Li Yang also told the old man about the unexpected Warring States wine glass. It was not easy to see the early lacquerware from the Central Plains in Lhasa.
.
In the evening, Li Yang and the others arrived at Lazi County, where they planned to stay.
Not long after the stop, Li Yang left Liu Gang alone for a trip and came back more than two hours later. Zhao Yong complained about this and would never allow Li Yang to go out alone next time.
Liu Gang had a big opinion.
At around eight o'clock the next night, after walking all day, Li Yang and the others finally arrived in Zada County.
After driving for a day and a half, everyone was already exhausted, especially He Jie and Tang Xiaoxiao. They entered the room after getting off the car and never came out again.
Shi Qin and Ma Shiwei were better off. They went out to have something to eat with Li Yang, and finally went back to their own rooms. Li Yang and the others stayed in the Water Conservancy Bureau Hotel in Zada County, and the conditions were very average. In this population, the population is very limited.
In a small county with more than 10,000 people, it is impossible to stay at the Star Hotel. Fortunately, everyone knows that they are here on a mission this time, and no one complains because of the accommodation conditions.
………… …………
There are a lot of things going on at home today, so I can only guarantee two updates. Xiaoyu will definitely explode after finishing the work.
The treasure house of the Guge Kingdom is right in front of you. Can Li Yang open this treasure house? How many treasures there will be after opening it will be revealed soon. The following content will be even more exciting!
