Chapter Fifty-two True and False

Seeing that something was wrong, Gu Beihai added: "What I mean is that Qianlong's chicken bowl cups were all passed down from Chenghua."

"I don't know how Emperor Qianlong and Emperor Chenghua reacted when they heard this. If the two emperors knew about it, Qianlong would laugh out loud and Chenghua would be angry when they heard this."

The whole place burst into laughter.

Gu Beihai looked confused: "Gao, what are you playing?"

I picked up the chicken bowl cup and uncovered the bottom of the bowl. There was a blue and white seal script on it.

"Mr. Gu, what do these words mean?"

He glanced at it and said with disdain: "I don't know these words, Ming Dynasty Chenghua Year System."

"Oh?" I deliberately lengthened my voice, "Why did I read Qianlong Antique of the Qing Dynasty?"

Gu Beihai said impatiently: "This is an ancient word that you don't recognize."

I almost didn't laugh out loud.

I nodded again: "Yes, I don't know how to read, my knowledge is shallow, and I am not good at calligraphy. Let's hire someone who can read."

I looked at Dong Shu: "Ms. Dong, you have hosted so many "Treasure Appraisal" programs, and I don't know if you know seal script. What are these words?"

"I have little knowledge, so I can take a look. It doesn't matter if I can't see it. There are many experts on site, so I can ask them to take a look." Dong Shu said modestly.

When I brought it to Dong Shu, Dong Shu looked at it and said: "Anti-Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty."

"I thought I made a mistake just now. It seems that I still know him." I said and looked at Gu Beihai again.

"I was dazzled just now, so I didn't wear glasses today." Gu Beihai argued.

I laughed and said, "That's right! I'm not wearing glasses. It's normal to see wrongly, it's normal!"

I asked again: "Mr. Gu, do you know the origin of the chicken bowl cup?"

"Gao, do you know that you have lost and don't dare to admit it, so you are just talking nonsense here to delay time."

I smiled disdainfully: "No, I just want to communicate with Mr. Gu."

"I, I, why should I tell you?" Gu Beihai said hesitantly.

Ai Weiwei said with disdain: "If you don't know, you don't know, and you pretend to be pretending."

I continued: "I don't know if what I said is right. If it is wrong, everyone will laugh.

According to historical records, it is said that Concubine Wan Guifei, the favorite concubine of Emperor Chenghua, was very fond of porcelain, especially exquisite and small porcelain.

Emperor Chenghua ordered a batch of porcelain to be made for Concubine Wan Gui to choose from, and all the others were destroyed.

The Cheng Kiln Chicken Bowl Cup is a rare treasure that has attracted countless people in later generations to copy it, but most people only have a similar appearance.

During the Qianlong period, Qianlong was very magnanimous and easy to maintain his original appearance.

He neither writes about the Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty nor the Chenghua reign of the Ming Dynasty, but writes about the imitation of the Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty.

That is to say, I imitate the works of the ancients, but I also create.

This chicken vat cup has two characteristics, and they are very obvious features. It can be concluded that it is the Qianlong chicken vat cup.

The first is the poem inscribed by Qianlong, which has 132 characters in total. The second is that the six characters written at the bottom are: Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty imitates the antiques.

The characteristic of Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup is a picture. According to historical records, Emperor Chenghua was keen on calligraphy and painting. Once he admired the "Picture of Chickens" painted by people in the Song Dynasty and saw a hen carrying several chickens.

The heartwarming scene of chickens foraging for food was very touching, so I wrote a seven-character poem on this painting to express the hen's care for her chicks.

Perhaps because of this, Emperor Chenghua had the desire to make a colorful chicken cup.

At the previous auction, the auction price of the Chenghua Chicken Crock Cup was 260 million, while the Qianlong Chicken Crock Cup was 90 million. You made the Qianlong Chicken Crock Cup increase by more than 100 million.

You identified Qianlong's chicken cup as Chenghua's, do you think Qianlong had to laugh at it?"

The experts present nodded their heads.

I cleared my throat as I spoke: "The reason why I asked Mr. Gu these questions before revealing the answers is that I want to inoculate everyone in advance so that everyone can be mentally prepared.

I have a feeling that when the answer is revealed later, everyone will definitely have a big reaction.

From Mr. Gu’s answer, everyone can see Mr. Gu’s level of treasure appraisal.

Don’t be surprised if something happens, it’s normal.

Okay, let's start to reveal the answer now.

Miss Dong, tell me, should we start with the most expensive one or the cheapest one."

"Let's start with the cheapest one." Dong Shu replied.

"The first one is a jade bracelet, sold at a street stall. It's like the kind you go to a tourist attraction. The first one costs 100 yuan, and later it costs 10 yuan for three. I used it to top up my credit. However, I polished it with my own hands, and it looks like

It looks a bit cool, so let’s just say it’s 100 yuan.

Gold is valuable but jade is priceless. It is normal for Mr. Gu to have his eyes opened."

As I said this, I motioned to Hou Yun to announce the answer. Hou Yun took out the number plate No. 10, which read: Jade bracelet, 100 yuan, produced by Yawenxuan.

"What?" Gu Beihai was shocked and looked ugly.

The audience in the venue was immediately shocked and started talking in the audience.

"Second, this golden Buddha is a bit difficult to make. It is gold-plated on the outside, but there are a lot of impurities inside. You also need to find grinding tools. The workmanship is more complicated than the one just now, but it is estimated to cost 200 at most. Of course, there are people in the market who want to buy it.

One or two thousand. I’ll calculate 500, it’s not too much!”

Hou Yun picked up number plate No. 9 again: Golden Buddha, 500 yuan, produced by Yawenxuan.

"The third one..." I hesitated deliberately and looked at the audience, "Who do you think the third one should be?"

The audience was all talking and talking about anything.

"This is what Mr. Gu calls the Yuan blue and white Sanskrit cup. This one is more difficult because he writes it in Sanskrit. Sanskrit is not a language we are familiar with and it is easy to make mistakes. As for the firing, the craftsmanship is not difficult. All, 600 yuan.

He has relatively few Sanskrit words, so if it was a high imitation made in the Chenghua period, it would have to start with a thousand pieces."

Hou Yun opened the No. 8 number plate: blue and white Sanskrit cup, 600 yuan, produced by Yawenxuan.

"The fourth one is the pumpkin bile bottle. The color of this bottle is a bit difficult to adjust. It can't be too red, otherwise it will be fake. It can't be too dark, it has to be a tasteful and elegant red. When burning, the heat and humidity must be careful.

,800."

Hou Yun opened the number plate No. 7: pumpkin bile bottle, 800 yuan, produced by Yawenxuan.

"The sixth should be the twelve-eyed Dzi bead, and the fifth should be the nine-eyed Dzi bead." I said and looked at Gu Beihai again.

At this moment, his face was turning red and purple with anger.

"Just now, our audience said that Nine Eyes is the most expensive.

There are different numbers of eyes on the Dzi beads. Different numbers of eyes represent different meanings. Nine eyes are the most expensive.

Nine means Dzogchen.

The nine-eyed dzi bead means compassion, kindness, supreme Dharma, prominent authority, freedom from suffering and happiness, and it can also turn small cleverness into great wisdom.

Although the Twelve Eyes Dzi Beads have many eyes, they are not as expensive as the Nine Eyes.

As for other Dzi beads, the more eyes they have, the more expensive they are.

The material of this nine-eye Dzi beads is average, and the price should be 3,000 yuan, while the twelve-eye Dzi beads are 1,800 yuan. Of course, if the material is good, there are hundreds of millions of Dzi beads.

Does the appearance of my dzi bead look similar to the material worth hundreds of millions? Otherwise, Mr. Gu would not give me such a high price."

Hou Yun opened the fifth and sixth at the same time.

Sixth: Twelve-eyed Dzi Beads, 1,800 yuan, produced by Yawenxuan.

Fifth: Nine-eyed Dzi Bead, 3,000 yuan, produced by Yawenxuan.

"Hahaha!" Ai Weiwei burst out laughing. I stood on the stage and heard it.
