Chen Jing looked carefully at the items in the protective box, with a bit of uncertainty in his eyes.

What is placed in the box is a piece of white jade about ten centimeters long. The quality of the jade looks good at first glance. There are many carved lines and patterns on the surface, completely covering the entire jade surface.

The reason why Chen Jing is not sure whether this piece of white jade is a jade guide is because the shape of this piece of white jade does not look like a normal jade guide.

Generally speaking, the length of jade pendants is longer, and the jade surface is not engraved with so many lines and patterns, which are the characteristics of jade pendants.

But for a jade pendant, ten centimeters is too long.

When Shao De heard this, he laughed and said: "This is Yugui, but it is a very rare Yugui. There are not many of them in the world. Both genuine and imitations are rare in the market. After all, you have only entered the industry not long ago, so it is normal that you have never seen it."

He saw that Chen Jing had never seen this style of Yugui in the box, but he didn't feel strange because it was a very normal thing.

No matter how talented Chen Jing is, his current appraisal skills are not weak, but after all, he is still young and there is always knowledge that he has not accumulated.

After all, appraising antiques or antiquities involves a vast array of knowledge disciplines such as history, chronicles, epigraphy, natural history, appraisal, and history of science and technology.

Not to mention mastering it all, just a general understanding requires years of hard work and continuous study.

To be honest, even Professor Chen dare not say that he knows all the knowledge about antiques and has seen and understood all the antiques accumulated by the Chinese and Xia civilizations over thousands of years.

After Chen Jing heard that Shao De confirmed that it was Yu Gui, his eyes showed some curiosity. He really had never seen this type of Yu Gui.

In addition, the Jade Gui is a kind of ritual jade. Like the Yongyuan Taotie pattern jade from the Han Dynasty that Chen Jing picked up from the toad belly before, it is one of the six auspicious jade in the traditional Chinese and Xia rituals.

.

Gift jade is not a common jade item in antique shops. It can only be seen occasionally at auctions in major auction houses. Genuine gift jade is rarely seen in some antique shops.

The reason is actually very simple, because ritual jade was not a common jade article even in ancient times.

Any dynasty in ancient China and Xia was very particular about sacrifices. As the saying goes, "the major affairs of the country lie in sacrifices and military affairs."

Because of the emphasis on sacrifice, the production requirements for ritual jade are very high, and it is impossible for ordinary people to be qualified to make ritual jade.

Looking at the quite different styles of jade in the box, Chen Jing carefully stretched out his hand and took it in his hand. It felt warm and cool to the touch, and the jade was very shiny. It was indeed a pretty good jade.

Immediately, Chen Jing directly used the treasure-appraising eye. This jade was not found as a missing piece, so it had no value. Therefore, the treasure-appraising eye did not automatically identify it.

Golden light emerged in front of his eyes, circled around the jade guide in Chen Jing's hand for several times, and finally returned to his eyes and turned into rows of identification words.

"This object is: Qianlong white jade animal mask pattern Gui from the Qing Dynasty!"

"Historical value of this object: Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty loved jade more than all previous emperors, and he admired ancient jade very much. He had a strong sense of admiring ancient things, which made him order craftsmen to imitate the style of jade in the early years after he came to the throne.

.Even in his poems, he often mentioned his admiration for ancient jade."

"For example, he wrote in the forty-seventh year of Qianlong's reign, 'Cut jade to make modern utensils, and use ancient bronze models. The common people dislike the contemporary style, and the elegant re-examine the craftsmanship'" and the fifty-first year of Qianlong's reign, "No contemporary patterns are used.

Poems such as "Teaching and Copying Bogu Tu" are evidence that he admired ancient jade. At the same time, it can be seen from these poems that the ancient jade he liked was biased towards the Shang and Zhou dynasties."

"This jade guide is an antique jade from the Qianlong period. The shape and pattern are antique and combined with the ingenuity of the time. The top is engraved with an armored god, the middle is engraved with a Ruyi cloud head pattern, surrounding the 'Qianlong Year' inscription, and the bottom is

The Gui Shou, with a ridge in the middle, is also carved with Ruyi cloud patterns. The overall production technique is exquisite and exquisite."

After reading the appraisal information in front of him, Chen Jing couldn't help but feel a bit of surprise in his eyes. The appraisal of the antique jade guide from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty was not low.

From this point alone, this piece of white jade animal mask is undoubtedly an antique that has reached the collection level, and it is not the kind that barely reaches it, which naturally surprised Chen Jing.

"So, it's not bad. Jade guides are rare to begin with, let alone antique jade guides from the Qianlong Emperor's period. This can be said to be rare. The collection value is quite high. Luo Yongbo has been collecting this jade guide before.

I have no intention of selling it at all."

"I didn't expect that he would actually give it to you as compensation this time." Shao De said with some surprise on his face.

Chen Jing smiled when he heard this and said: "The high collection value does not mean the current value is high, just like people's potential may not always be discovered."

Shao De was slightly startled when he heard this, and then agreed: "That's true. The current valuation of this piece of jade is only around 300,000 yuan."

Three hundred thousand is actually not a small amount, but it is easy to say in Shao De's mouth, mainly because it is not much compared to the eight million that Luo Yongbo asked for Chen Jing.

After a pause, Shao De added with a smile: "But after all, this jade guide still has collection value. If you keep it in your hands for a few years, maybe the market will change that day, and its value will increase several times?

"

Chen Jingdao: "I hope so." This is naturally a polite and perfunctory statement. In fact, this is almost a rare Jade Gui. Not surprisingly, it will definitely be collected in his future private museum.

Afterwards, the two discussed Yu Gui's various skills and values. Although Chen Jing already knew it well through his treasure appraisal, he still humbly asked Shao De for advice.

After all, although the identification information given by the Treasure Appraisal Eye is definitely accurate, the space is limited after all, and the information will only contain key points, and some insignificant and partial detailed knowledge will not be included.

Although partial knowledge of details is not helpful in identifying whether an antique is genuine or fake, it is better to learn and know something than not knowing it at all.

Just like the porcelain found in the Tianshun period of the Ming Dynasty that was imitated from the Ding kiln period of the Northern Song Dynasty that I missed earlier, there is no detailed knowledge such as year names and inscriptions in Tianshun and other periods, and it is not mentioned in the identification information of the treasure appraiser.

Of course, there is another possibility that there may be a small amount of porcelain from those periods with year numbers, so it is not mentioned in the identification information.

No matter what, after Chen Jing and Shao De chatted for a long time in the rest area of ​​the hotel lobby, Shao De saw that the time was almost up and took the initiative to stand up and said: "Then I will go to the store first. You two have a good trip, hurry up and come back
