Chapter five hundred and thirtieth Yuan Canglong godson jade belt hook
Seeing that the man had not left, Han Kongque turned around and smiled at Li Chenghe, and then said: "Isn't there someone just now who wanted to hear my price for this jade? Now that it is mine, I can take a closer look.
Look, I really didn’t look much at it just now, so I don’t know what it is.”
"Stop talking nonsense. We want to hear the insights of great experts. Why don't you tell us something we don't know and give us some insight?" Gao Cheng said.
Han Peacock smiled and said: "Mr. Li, please sit down. Let's have a chat with the juniors. You don't have to accompany us. If any of you don't want to hear anything, you can take this opportunity to find Mr. Li and continue to be firm!"
"We are willing to listen. Brother Han, you are a living legend. Maybe what happened today will appear on the Internet soon. When any brother posts, don't forget me, Shi Lei. I am Brother Han's brother." Shi Leigao
shouted.
His shouts directly caused a burst of laughter, but he still said what many people were thinking. After all, watching the excitement is the most popular thing in the country.
Han Peacock blocked Li Chenghe's mouth, and then said to Gao Cheng: "Please ask this expert, I wonder what the Canglong Godson is used for?"
"Yu Ruyi! Of course it's just a toy. Everyone knows this, so just tell us something we don't know, otherwise you might be considered a person who is just trying to gain fame." Gao Cheng said without hesitation.
Hearing his answer, Li Chenghe on the side raised his forehead directly. Is this Shu Weimin's disciple? What a shame! What a big shame.
Han Kongque didn't care what Li Chenghe thought, he said cheerfully: "Okay, I'll tell you something you don't know. This thing is not jade Ruyi, but a jade belt hook. Jade belt hooks began in the Warring States Period
, it is used by people on their belts to fasten their belts, hence the name belt hook. Belt hooks are made of copper, iron, jade and other materials. Belt hooks were also called 'Shibi' in ancient times.
Its basic shape is generally a twisted "S" shape. There is a hook at one end, often decorated with animal heads; there is a column on the back, and there is a top under the column. In addition to the "S" shape, there are also rod-shaped, bamboo-shaped, and round hooks.
shape, animal face shape, piano face shape, etc.
Ancient jade belt hooks were mostly made from Xinjiang white jade, topaz, sapphire, black jade, jasper and crystal, agate, jade, etc. Jade belt hooks were made from the Warring States and Han Dynasties to the Song Dynasty. There is not much difference in shape and quantity.
There are only a few, but jade belt hooks were popular in the world during the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the number of existing ones is also large.
The animal heads on one end are mostly decorated with dragon heads, and some have a small dragon carved on the back of the hook, which is called Chi. Chi means one of the nine dragons. Chi raises its head to face the big dragon head, with all its hair showing and four legs.
Flying in the sky, the two tails are full of energy, so it is called the Double Dragon Hook."
"Is this a jade belt hook? Isn't it a jade belt hook?"
"I said this thing is different from the Yu Ruyi I have seen!"
"Listen to this, this is really a jade belt hook."
"This time the joke was too big. The jade belt hook was said to be jade ruyi."
"It's embarrassing, this is still an expert! What a rip-off!"
"Fortunately, what I brought is not jade."
"I don't know how many things he just appraised for people. Those who left may have been misled."
"If the genuine product is said to be a fake, it will be a huge loss."
Han Peacock listened to the discussion with a smile. When the discussion was almost finished, Han Peacock did not forget to add something: "The difference between jade Ruyi and jade belt hook is sometimes obvious, but sometimes it is not obvious, so this is
Pay attention. As long as you pay a little attention, you should be able to tell the difference.
This jade belt hook is a bit special. Because the two dragons are attached to the main body of the jade, it looks a bit like Ruyi. However, jade Ruyi that is more than ten centimeters long is still rare."
Hearing everyone's discussion, Gao Cheng's face turned green and red, but this state soon changed.
Seeing that Gao Cheng was not hit, Han Peacock smiled and said to Li Chenghe: "Mr. Li also saw that this was the jade belt hook, right? I saw that you stopped talking several times just now. Are you honest?
Shouldn't we young people just suffer some setbacks and not take our face into consideration? Failure is also an experience. Being able to fail once when you are young is not a blessing."
At this time, everyone saw Han Kongque's poisonous tongue. He swollen the right face of others and also swollen the left face of others.
"This is a jade belt hook. I made a mistake just now due to negligence. However, even if it is a jade belt hook, it is still newly made. Such a jade article has no artistic value at all.
If this piece of white jade had not been carved into this piece of jade belt hook, it might still be worth hundreds of thousands, but now it is made into such a different piece, which can be said to be a waste of this beautiful piece of jade. I wonder what expert Han has to say?" Gao said.
Orange is still unconvinced.
Han Peacock played with this jade belt hook with a faint smile on his face. He said calmly: "Historically, the popularity of jade belt hooks mainly occurred in two periods: first, from the Warring States Period to the Han Dynasty; second, from the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties.
period,
The characteristics of the Yuan Dynasty jade dragon hook are that the dragon head is small and flat, the dragon's horns are unclear, the dragon head's eyebrows are raised, and they turn towards each other to form a hook moire pattern; the eyebrows are raised, giving the feeling of heavy eyebrows pressing down on the eyes;
The snout uses incised lines to represent the lips and the upper and lower rows of teeth; a pair of perforations are drilled horizontally on the side of the dragon's mouth to show the cavity; the dragon has no sideburns but thick hair, with two or three locks, and some are long.
Some are short, and those who are older can wear it as a shawl.
The backs of the dragon hooks are all carved with chinas, some of which are lying on the ground in relief, and some of which are in the air with Ganoderma lucidum in their mouths. They have a square head and a single tail, but the rear part of the tail is curled and separated from left to right.
The body of the chi is thin and arc-shaped, with smooth curves. It is snugly attached to the dragon's body. Using deep carving techniques, the distance between the dragon head and the chi is larger. The shape of the dragon hook in the Yuan Dynasty is wider, like a pipa shape, and the hook button
Make a rectangular ring hole or cut into a hammer-shaped button, and close to the tail.
Because the distance between the two dragons is long and they are close to each other, it is not easy to compare the size of the two. In addition, the old dragon in this jade belt hook has no temples, and the dragon head is small and flat, so the old dragon is not easy to compare.
The dragon looks thin and small.
The little dragon's figure rises up, holding Ganoderma lucidum in his mouth, which makes the little dragon look a bit bigger. Therefore, this jade belt hook looks like the old dragon and the little dragon are about the same size, but we can still clearly distinguish the difference between the old dragon and the little dragon.
The most important thing is that the head of the old dragon is taller than the little dragon attached to it. This is the most obvious, so the meaning of the blue dragon teaching his son can be said to be vividly expressed."
At this time, everyone was staring blankly at Han Peacock. No one here was stupid. By this time, they already knew what Han Peacock meant. Is this a jade belt hook from the Canglong godson of the Yuan Dynasty?
The treasure appraisal expert here was slapped in the face, and the slap was loud, which naturally made some people in the Antiques Association feel embarrassed.
On the high mountain, Qin Dake could only smile bitterly when he looked at Han Peacock.
"Let me take a look!" Gao Dashan said.
Han Kongque handed the jade directly to Gao Dashan. Gao Dashan was a carver and was certainly no stranger to jade.
He took a look in his hand and immediately made a judgment: "The old dragon hook from the Ming Dynasty, the seed material leaves the skin, the workmanship is beautiful, the structure of the jade belt hook cannot be seen under strong light! The jade quality is delicate! The thing with the big door is rust-colored.
Houmi, an old guy at first glance.”
Han Kongque saw a hint of smile in Gao Dashan's eyes, and he naturally thought of why.
Those who didn't understand started talking again.
"Lao Gao said it was from the Ming Dynasty."
"That's for sure! Let's see how exciting it is."
“It was really worth coming here today.”
"That's right, now let's see who is better, this rising star, or this old expert."
"It's hard for me to see them. There is no anger in their eyes. There is not enough gunpowder in their eyes!"
Qin Dake took the Canglong Godson Jade Belt Hook from Gao Dashan and looked at it carefully before saying: "It is indeed the early Ming Dynasty, but it does have the residual artistic style of the Yuan Dynasty, and it is also very strong. Such a dragon hook, in fact,
The taste is far better than the stereotyped Canglong Jiaozi hook from the Qing Dynasty, and it is a rare good thing."
Han Kongque said with a smile: "This is a typical piece of jade from the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty. It has the legacy of the Yuan Dynasty! Especially the big dragon's ears and Ruyi's cloud ears."
Qin Dake was also happy: "You really don't suffer at all!"
Han Kongque said with a smile: "After all, we cannot determine the exact age of this jade, so when it has the characteristics of the Yuan and Ming dynasties, it is natural to conclude that it is the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties."
"Then it's the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty!" Gao Dashan couldn't refute this, after all, what Han Kongque said was true.
At this time, everyone around knew that what the experts said was correct, and Gao Cheng was already hiding in a corner dejectedly.
He really did it this time. It was obviously a jade belt hook, but he was actually able to identify it as jade. Such a level can only leave people speechless.
Shi Lei already admired Han Peacock to death. He thought this was a new piece of work, but Han Peacock could see that it was an old piece of work. This was the difference.
"The craftsmanship, the craftsmanship is wrong, everything you said is wrong. How do you explain the V-shaped structure of the faucet? This is obviously machine work." Gao Cheng seemed to have grasped the last straw. He could no longer care about those old experts.
So I directly overturned everyone’s appraisal results.
Gao Dashan glared at Gao Cheng and said, "I wonder what Shu Weimin usually does. Are the students he brings out at this level?"
Qin Dake was much gentler: "Young people all make mistakes. Young people, who told you that those with a V-shaped structure must be machinists? You have to observe carefully. This jade has sharp edges and corners, with a strong craftsmanship.
color.
The V-shaped structure here is probably because the two dragons are too close to the main jade stone and cannot be carefully carved by hand, so this V-shaped structure is formed similar to that of machine work. So don't memorize dogma.
This can still be seen as long as you look carefully. After all, the difference between manual work and machine work is very obvious. As long as you look carefully, it is easy to distinguish."
