"Hey, good stuff, really good stuff! The shape is simple and natural, the knife skills are skillful and smooth, the color is from the skin to the bone, and the ice cracks inside are radiating. It is a real thousand-year-old jade! Yun Cong, you have found something good this time.
!" Mr. Li looked around and even took out a magnifying glass from his pocket and looked at it for more than ten minutes before saying with an admiring look.
"You always said this is true?" Li Yuncong asked with a look of surprise.
"Of course it's true. If you don't want it, then leave it to me, an old man!" Mr. Li said with a smile.
Hearing this, Li Yuncong smiled, rubbed his hands and said: "Hey, you are a real big player. I haven't seen anything good. How can a small piece of Han jade fall into your eyes?"
!”
At Mr. Li's age, he has never experienced anything. Although Li Yuncong's flattery sounds comfortable, it cannot shake Mr. Li's mind. However, he does not need to grab something from a junior, "Here, take it!"
This piece of Chilong Jade Pendant is a genuine Han jade made of Nanyang Dushan blue and white jade. Although the quality of the jade is average, the three-color ancient jade is also very rare, so finish it carefully!"
Looking at the ancient Han jade handed over by the old man, Li Yuncong looked happy and quickly reached out to take it. He could be considered to have a family background. Although the value of this piece of Han jade is not as high as that of famous calligraphy and paintings and cherished porcelain.
, but if it goes up for auction, it can be sold for five or six hundred thousand. It would not be unusual if you meet someone who likes it for more than a million.
However, because ancient jade like this has been buried in the ground for too long, most of it is dim due to the clear color. If you want to restore their original warm luster, you need further polishing by the owner.
OK.
Generally speaking, in ancient Chinese folk playing with jade, there are mainly three methods of plating jade: one is the martial pan, the second is the wen pan, and the third is the meaning pan.
Let’s talk about Wu Pan method first, also called Ji Pan. It must be worn around you and nourished by human body temperature, because the human body is hot and sweaty. After wearing it for a few months, the texture of the ancient jade will gradually harden. At that time, we
You can wipe it with a clean old cloth until it improves slightly, and then wipe it with a new cloth. However, do not use colored cloth. White cloth or coarse cloth is more appropriate.
The more we rub, the hotter the ancient jade will become, so it cannot be interrupted. The more we rub, the easier it will be for the turbidity and dryness of the dust to fade away naturally, and the places where the color is received will naturally condense, and the color of the ancient jade will become more and more perfect.
It takes about a year to restore the jade to its original state. However, if the weapon plate is slightly careless, the jade may be destroyed.
In addition to Wu Pan, the second pan skill of ancient Chinese jade is Wen Pan, also called slow pan. The so-called Wen Pan method is to tie the jade around your waist from time to time and use your own popularity to nourish it. Wen Pan is
You must be patient and not impatient. This can also be said to be a way for the ancients to cultivate their character. Usually after two or three years, the color of the ancient jade is only slightly revealed. It takes several years for the color of the ancient jade to change.
Be clear.
Ancient jade can only be restored to its original appearance if it has been worn for more than ten years. However, according to the experience of some jade experts, ancient jade from the Qin and Han Dynasties generally needs to be worn around the waist for more than ten years before it can be restored. In the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, it
Ancient jade from three generations must be worn for a longer period of time, five or six times, that is, more than fifty or sixty years before the original color of the ancient jade can be restored.
Regardless of whether it is a wedding plate or a military plate, in short, the longer the ancient jade is buried, the more difficult it is to reveal the original color. The reason is that the longer the ancient jade is exposed to the earth's energy, the deeper it penetrates into the jade bone, and the pure light will be revealed slowly.
The third method is the mind-playing method, which means that the jade collector holds the jade in his hand and thinks about the virtues of jade while playing with it. He constantly absorbs the essence from the virtues of jade and nourishes his own temperament. Over time, he can achieve
In the noble realm of the unity of jade and man, the jade article has been maintained and the spirit of the jade man has also been sublimated.
Yipan is a very high state, which requires the spirit of facing the wall. Rather than saying that it is a human being with a jade, it is better to say that it is a person with a jade plate. The human and jade are integrated into one, and the spirit is psychic. Very few people in history have been able to achieve such a spiritual state, let alone
Impetuous modern people.
The spiritual level of Yipan is too high, and Wupan requires someone to play it day and night, which is too costly. Most current jade collectors adopt the method of combining Wenpan with Wupan, which can be worn close to the body and held in the hand for playing. However,
No matter what method is used to plate jade, new pit jade cannot be plated immediately. It must be hidden close to the body for a year until the hardness has recovered.
However, Mr. Li did not explain these knowledge about pan jade to Liu Dong and Li Yuncong here, because one of them is a jade carver and the other has a family background. They all know how to play with these jade articles. It is not necessary at all.
He wasted his breath.
"It's broken, I've been fooled by your kid again!" Seeing Li Yuncong happily wrapping the jade pendant and carefully putting it into his pocket, Mr. Li slapped his forehead and cursed with a smile with an annoyed look on his face.
He knows his own shortcomings. As soon as he sees something good, if he can't identify the authenticity, he will definitely not let go. That's the real thing. He spends all night searching for information to find someone who authenticates antiques.
Method. Of course, it is precisely with this spirit of love and study that the old man who became a monk became a famous antique appraiser in the entire Quancheng, the entire Dongshan Province, and even the whole country.
Hearing what the old man said, Li Yuncong just smiled and didn't answer. Anyway, he was getting the advantage.
Looking at his appearance, the old man couldn't help but shook his head with a hint of helplessness. He also had a deep understanding of the character of this old friend's grandnephew over the years. Although his family background was extraordinary, he did not have any high-ranking children.
That kind of arrogance. Although he is a bit lazy, he has a bold personality and treats others with sincerity. What is even more difficult is that he is extremely filial. The old man also likes him very much.
"Okay, it's already past nine o'clock now! Xiaodong, let's go! Otherwise it might be a little late! Besides, it's not good to make people wait for us!" After the old man finished speaking, he went out.
"Mr. Li, are you going to do an appraisal for someone? Can you take me with you?" Seeing the old man eager to go out, Li Yuncong said quickly from the side.
Maybe there was not enough time, and both parties knew each other well, so after listening to what he said, the old man nodded and agreed without thinking too much.
"Brother Liu, thank you very much!" Walking behind the old man, Li Yuncong walked to Liu Dong and said softly.
Of course Liu Dong understood the meaning of his words, and nodded, indicating that it was nothing, "You're welcome, didn't you help me last time?" Originally, he had a good impression of this person, and now with the addition of Mr. Li,
The relationship between the two parties has become a little closer invisibly.
"Okay, since my brother said so, it would be out of character for me to say thank you again. However, I, Li Yuncong, have made you your friend. If you want my help with anything in the future, just ask." After a pause, he looked at it.
Mr. Li, who was walking in front, glanced at it and said quietly to Liu Dong: "Brother, last time I heard they said you were very good at stone gambling. Can you take me to play with you?"
Hearing this, Liu Dong glanced at him and chuckled: "Gambling on stones? I thought you asked me to take you to the casino to play a few games!?"
After hearing what he said, Li Yuncong looked bitter, with a hint of embarrassment in his eyes, "Let's forget about gambling. If my dad finds out, he will have to break my legs!" After saying that, an involuntary expression appeared on his face.
He looked frightened, and it was obvious that he must have suffered a lot from this before.
Seeing how he showed no pretense in front of him, Liu Dong became more fond of him. Perhaps it was also because of his own personality that he was more willing to make friends with people who were bold, enthusiastic, and broad-minded.
Mu Gang, who is silly, but simple-minded, and highly skilled in martial arts, and Li Yuncong in front of him are both the kind of people he can regard as friends. Of course, after knowing each other for many years, Mu Gang is not only his friend, but the two of them have fought countless times.
Like brothers.
The three of them did not go through the front door of Chenxiang Pavilion, but walked out from the small door.
"Wu Ma, I will go out to do some errands in the morning, and I will ask you to take care of my daughter!" Standing at the door, Mr. Li explained seriously.
"Haha, Mr. Li, I have seen my daughter since she was a child. In my heart, she is just like my granddaughter. I will take good care of her, so don't worry!"
Hearing this, Mr. Li nodded. He was very relieved about Wu Ma, who had been his servant for nearly ten years.
