Chapter 317: Han Dynasty Yongyuan taotie pattern jade bi
When Zhao Zheng heard Chen Jing's words, he smiled and said, "You boy's statement is correct, but for our generation, the 1980s I miss the most is definitely the 1980s. Do you know why?"
Chen Jingying said: "I know, you are not so much missing the 1980s, but rather missing your youth."
"Haha, the young man has insight." Zhao Zheng patted Chen Jing on the shoulder and said, "Every generation has different youth, and what I miss the most is youth."
"You kid can still be said to be young now, so you should cherish it."
The chat was almost the same, and I also visited the Longcheng Antique Market. It was getting late, so Chen Jing and Zhao Zheng went home.
…………
In the evening, Chen Jing returned to Tianxueshan Community.
When the elder sister entered the house, she had already prepared dinner and was serving the dishes. Chen Jing hurriedly put the toad wood carving carefully and went over to help.
"Is that a toad?" Kong Xue smiled sweetly at Chen Jingtian first, and then looked at the toad wood carving in confusion.
"Well, I bought it at the Longcheng Antique Market today." Chen Jing replied.
“Very valuable?”
Chen Jing shook his head: "The toad wood carving itself is not very valuable, but the things hidden inside should be of some value."
"Is there a universe inside?" Kong Xue's eyes were slightly brighter, and she reached out and poked the toad wood sculpture curiously, and said, "There are really antiques in this treasure in reality. I thought it was only available in TV series."
Speaking of which, since she was with Chen Jing, the eldest sister has found a lot of TV series or movies related to antiques. She originally wanted to learn more about antiques and have a common topic with Chen Jing.
But I found that it was useless at all, because there were too many artistic processing in TV series, which was very unrealistic.
"Yes, but it's rare." Chen Jing nodded and replied, "After the meal, let's open the toad wood sculpture to see what treasures are hidden inside."
"Okay, it's a bit like opening a blind box." Kong Xue said, and suddenly thought of something: "Yes, Xiao Chen, can antique blind box stores also design some blind boxes of this type? I feel it's quite interesting."
Chen Jing was slightly stunned, and then his eyes lit up: "Good idea."
"Sister Xue, why don't you, the boss, serve as the design director of our store?" Chen Jing said happily.
"Does the salary be paid?" Kong Xue asked with her eyebrows and eyes curled.
Chen Jing nodded seriously: "The salary is still the daily salary system."
"How much will it give to that day?" Kong Xue hadn't noticed that her eldest boy had a slight smile on his face.
"One day..." Chen Jing approached the big sister's fair and jade-like cheeks and whispered in a bad mood: "It's more than one billion."
"Ah?" Kong Xue was stunned at first, then she thought of something. Her small and crystal earlobes were red at a speed visible to the naked eye. She reached out and pinched Chen Jing's face: "What a little bad guy, you, you can even talk about serious topics inappropriately."
At the same time, Kong Xue also spat in her heart: "It's true, I still want the daily salary system." If it's really the daily salary system, the eldest sister would be worried that she would be ruined.
The couple got tired of it for a while before they had supper.
Then Chen Jing found a tool and prepared to open the toad wood carving. However, before using the tool, he carefully checked the toad wood carving, hoping to find a way to open it without destroying it.
Although it is not of high value, it is also an authentic antique after all, so it is also a good idea to keep it as an ornament.
Unfortunately, Chen Jing did not find any mechanism or something like that.
It is estimated that the owner of the toad wood carving had never considered this at all, otherwise he would not have carved it with ordinary wood.
In this way, Chen Jing no longer hesitated and opened the toad wood carving with the tool in just a few seconds.
The moment it opened, a square box immediately fell out of the toad's abdomen. It had completely stuck the toad's wooden carving's abdomen space. No wonder there was no sound when it shook.
"It's really true." Kong Xue said in surprise when she saw this.
Chen Jingze carefully picked up the square box and first looked at the box itself. It had no patterns and was just a wooden box, which was of no value. There was also a small rusty iron lock on the mouth of the box.
This small iron lock was naturally not a hindrance. Chen Jing easily opened it and then carefully opened the box.
But I saw a slightly yellowish colored jade bi with a round shape and a slightly larger size than an adult's slap was placed at the bottom of the box, and there was a better light-colored silk cushion underneath.
The appraisal of the treasure appraisal was quickly completed, and rows of appraisal texts were presented in front of Chen Jingshuang's eyes.
"This thing is: the Taotie pattern jade bi of Yongyuan, Han Dynasty."
"The historical value of this object: Jade Bi is a jade artifact with perforated central part, which is one of the traditional jade ritual vessels in the Xia Dynasty. In ancient times, ritual jade occupies a very important position in jade. As the saying goes, "The sky is round and the place is round, and the jade is celebrating the sky." Jade Bi is made in imitation of "The sky is round", reflecting the ancients' admiration for heaven."
"In addition, the ancients believed that all things have spirituality, and at the same time they believed that jade is the essence of mountains and rivers, a treasure gifted by heaven, and has the spirituality of communicating with ghosts and gods in the world, so they specially made jade. The theory of six auspiciousness was originally derived from the "Book of Zhou" in the late Warring States Period. In the book, six kinds of jade artifacts such as clay, cong, gui, zhang, Hu, and Huang were used as the "six auspiciousness".
"This jade bi is old-fashioned, with regular shapes and both sides. Both sides are decorated with Taotie animal face patterns, which are abstract and symmetrical, and have a very artistic style. In addition, its lines are delicate, staggered and natural patina, which is actually the best jade bi."
After reading the appraisal information, Chen Jing couldn't help but show joy in his eyes.
Sure enough, it is indeed not too bad to be considered by the God of Treasure Appraisal to be an object with the value of picking up the bargain.
The jade bi from the Yongyuan period of the Han Dynasty was worth a lot of value in this year. After all, this is ancient and is one of the antiques that Master Li Xun likes to collect.
The so-called ancient meaning is elegant and simple, but in antique style, it refers to objects from before the Tang Dynasty.
The reason why it is said to be general is that in this ancient saying, there are also the sayings of ancient jade and ancient porcelain, and the ages required are different.
For example, ancient porcelain does not refer to porcelain before the Tang Dynasty, but porcelain before the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
But no matter which statement it is, antiques have the word "precious" and their value will increase a lot, and the year book is also a aspect of measuring the value of antiques.
After all, the older the years, the harder it is to keep it to this day.
In fact, let alone antiques before the Tang Dynasty, even antiques from the Tang and Song Dynasties are quite rare, let alone from the Han Dynasty, even if Yongyuan was the Eastern Han Dynasty.
