"Hey, Liu Dong, why are you going out? You don't want to go shopping anymore?"
Seeing Liu Dong walking straight towards the elevator with a snakeskin bag in his hand, Fu Kun was surprised and quickly stepped forward to stop him and asked.
After a pause, Liu Dong turned around and asked with a smile: "I will stay in Jinling for a few more days. There are many opportunities to visit the antique city. Now I just want to see how this treasure I just got is doing?"
"Baby?" Fu Kun's eyes lit up, and he turned to see the snakeskin bag Liu Dong was holding in his hand. He nodded repeatedly and continued, "Yes, yes, let's take a look at the treasure you found first! Oh, by the way, let's go first.
Let’s check it out at Junzi’s store, otherwise we’ll have to wait a little longer when we get home?”
At this moment, Fu Kun, whose curiosity was aroused by Liu Dong's words, was no longer willing to wait any longer! He was eager to have a sneak peek at the 'treasure' Liu Dong mentioned!
"Okay, let's go to Mr. Zhu's shop first!" Liu Dong nodded after thinking for a while.
In fact, he also wanted to take a good look at what he had just acquired. Although the relic Yuanguang allowed him to have a sneak peek, the relic Yuanguang was still a little less thrilling than seeing it with his own eyes!
"Let's go...!"
Under Fu Kun's urging, the two went back and forth, and soon arrived at Zhu Jun's 'Zhu Family Copper Workshop'!
"Hey, didn't you two go out to visit the antique city? Why did you come back so soon?" Zhu Jun, who came out of the room after hearing the noise, saw the two people leaving and returning and asked curiously.
"Hey, Liu Dong took out a treasure. It's difficult to take it out because there are so many people outside, so I came here to appreciate it first!" Fu Kun said.
"Baby? I want to see what kind of baby it is that can actually make you two so nervous!" After smiling in surprise, Zhu Jun, who was a little curious, also gathered around.
While the two were talking, Liu Dong had already taken out the black wood he had seen earlier from the snakeskin bag.
When he gently placed this piece of wood, which was no more than two inches thick, no more than a foot wide, no more than half a foot long, completely black and irregular in appearance, and had uneven surfaces, on the counter of the shop, three people and six people
All eyes were focused on it. But at first glance, everyone's expressions were different.
"This. Is this the treasure you are talking about?" Zhu Jun, who was reluctant to say the word "rotten wood", could not equate it with the word "baby".
In fact, Fu Kun's head was full of question marks at this moment.
However, compared to Zhu Jun, fortunately, he is still an expert in the antique industry. Although he studied under Chen Bangda and specializes in calligraphy and painting appraisal, he often goes in and out of the antique circle. Although he is not proficient in the major categories of antiques such as jade, miscellaneous items, and porcelain, he is still good at it.
Know something.
Coupled with his understanding of Liu Dong's past achievements in Taobao picking up items. Therefore, although he did not see the merits of this piece of 'rotten wood' for a while, he also knew that there must be some mystery in it that he had not yet understood!
In addition, based on his understanding of Liu Dong, he would definitely not spend 20,000 yuan to buy a worthless piece of rotten wood for no reason. And he would also call him a treasure!
"Huh? Liu Dong, look at the shape of this black wood, it should be Qixuan Guqin, right?"
After looking at it for a while, Fu Kun saw the clues in this dirty, dusty black wood!
Zhu Jun, who was initially disapproving of what he said, took a closer look and found out that this was really a guqin!
"This is indeed a Fuxi-style Qixuan Guqin. However, due to its age, Yueshan no longer exists and the strings are broken! Even the guard is gone! However, the structure of this Guqin is still generally intact. Chenglu, Longyan
, Guanjiao, Thirteen Emblems, and Dragon and Phoenix Pool are all intact. As long as it is repaired and the Yueshan and strings are added, it will be another famous piano through the ages!" Liu Dong said with excitement in his tone.
"Eternally famous guqin? Xiaodong. Is this a guqin from before the Song Dynasty?" Fu Kun asked in shock.
There are currently less than 20 guqins from before the Song Dynasty that have been handed down in China. Every thousand-year-old guqin that comes out is a rare national treasure!
It's just that most Chinese musical instruments are made of wood, which is difficult to preserve, and there are fewer high-quality ones handed down. Therefore, there are not many people who collect them, resulting in low value. However, correspondingly, the prices of high-quality products have been copied to the sky!
Especially for those officials and rich people who like to be arty, a famous piano that has been passed down through the ages can make them spend a lot of money without hesitation.
Therefore, a thousand-year-old famous piano is an extremely rare treasure in terms of both artistic value and monetary value!
"It should be correct. Although this guqin has not been cleaned and is stained with a lot of dust and dirt, we can still see some clues. What do you think the marks on the surface of the guqin look like?"
Following the direction of Liu Dong's finger, Fu Kun and Zhu Jun saw the texture on the surface of the guqin that looked like irregular polygonal traces!
"Is this a broken pattern?"
Although Fu Kun doesn't know much about the appraisal of guqin, he still knows some general things, such as the understanding of the most important fracture pattern in guqin appraisal!
Broken lines refer to various fractures on the surface of the piano caused by years of weathering and vibration during playing. There are many types of fractures, mainly including plum blossom breaks, ox hair breaks, snake belly breaks, ice lines breaks, running water breaks, and dragon scales.
Broken, etc. Generally speaking, a qin will not have broken patterns for more than a hundred years, and the degree of broken patterns will vary with age, which is one of the main basis for appraising ancient qins.
So after seeing the broken pattern, Fu Kun suddenly gained some confidence in Liu Dong's theory of thousand-year-old guqin.
"Do these textures look like the tortoise patterns on turtle shells?" Zhu Jun said in surprise.
He doesn't understand the appraisal of guqin, he just watches it from the perspective of an outsider, and his view is the most intuitive.
But what he didn't know was that his words caused an uproar in Fu Kun's heart.
There is a saying: "It takes a thousand years to buy a broken turtle's back"!
Although the surface of the guqin will form various fracture patterns due to years of weathering and weathering, these fracture patterns will also appear in different textures depending on the age. And the preciousness of these textures also varies.
Among them, the most expensive one is the tortoise-back fracture. It is impossible for a Guqin that is more than a thousand years old to have a tortoise-back fracture. There are even many Tang qins that have been passed down to the present, including the famous Chunlei Qin, Jiuxiao Huanpei Qin, and the Great Sage Relics.
Including the yinqin, at most it is a snake-belly broken piece. Compared to the rare turtle-back broken guqin, there is also a plum blossom broken piece between it, ranking only in third place!
From this we can also see how low the chance of a broken back is even for a guqin that is over a thousand years old!
Even many guqin players who study guqin and are skilled in qin art doubt whether the turtle back break exists.
But obviously, if the guqin in front of you is a real thing, then the tortoise-back break is unquestionable and exists in the world! But this makes it even more amazing!
The famous Lei Gongqin "Jiuxiao Huanpei" is just a snake belly cut off, so how precious must a tortoise-backed guqin be to meet such conditions?
Thinking of this, the surprised look on Fu Kun's face turned into shock!
"Kunzi, what the hell are you doing? Why are you opening your mouth so wide for nothing? Also, if you stare again, your eyeballs will almost fall out!"
Fu Kun ignored his friend's sarcastic words, but suddenly turned his head and said to Liu Dong with a look full of envy: "Xiaodong, you really found a treasure this time!"
"Haha, an unexpected gain! I didn't expect to pick up such a good thing just when I went out!" Liu Dong also smiled with joy on his face.
Under the light of his relics, the red aura on this guqin is as strong as the sun in the sky, strong and full of brilliant atmosphere!
Among all his current collections, there are no more than 50 works of art that can compare with the richness of the aura in front of him!
Don’t think that this number is a lot. This is the number that comes after collecting all the treasures that Liu Dong has obtained so far. Among them, there are 159 ships including the treasures of the Japanese army in Quancheng, the treasures of the Zhao family, the treasures of King Zhuang, and the treasures of the Van Gaal family of the Netherlands.
Shipwreck treasures, Aztec holy city 'Aztlan' treasures, Beijing underground treasures, Sun Dianying's treasures, Kangju royal family's treasures, Al Qaeda's treasures, and Liu Dong's own treasure hunting in the past two years
There are treasures to be found! Among the millions of works of art that can be ranked in the top fifty, they are all national treasures among national treasures and priceless treasures among treasures!
"Hey, this piano has been burned, right? Why is it so dark here!" Suddenly, Zhu Jun pointed to the corner of the tail and crown of the piano and said in surprise.
Liu Dong naturally knew why this piano behaved like this, but Fu Kun's eyes turned away involuntarily.
"It really seems to have been burned...!" Halfway through his words, Zhu Jun suddenly stopped. He stared at the guqin on the counter with a stunned look as if in extreme shock. With a 'swish' sound, he leaned over suddenly.
The head almost touches the tail of the piano which has burnt marks!
"Kunzi, what are you doing? You're so startled!" Zhu Jun, who was frightened, frowned and scolded.
But at this moment, Fu Kun didn't respond at all to his words! All his attention was focused on the guqin in front of him.
As a friend who grew up wearing crotchless pants, Zhu Jun naturally has a deep understanding of Kun. Seeing his performance now, he somewhat understood, "Is this so-called 'seven-stringed guqin' really a treasure?"
"Liu Dong, this is Jiaowei Qin. This is Jiaowei Qin, one of the four famous qin, right?"
After Fu Kun's piercing eyes examined the guqin for a while, he suddenly grabbed Liu Dong's arm with excitement and spoke loudly.
Also, it has a tortoise pattern cut which is more precious than the snake belly cut on the Leigong Qin's 'Jiu Xiao Huan Pei', and there are traces of smoke and fire on the crown and corners. Although it is not known what the sound of this Qin is, and there are no other more
Evidence, but it does not prevent Fu Kun from inferring that the guqin in front of him is the 'Jiaowei', one of the 'Four Famous Qins' passed down through the ages! (To be continued.)
