"I'll leave the pager and landline to you." Zhou Zhi also liked this middle-aged man with a rough and delicate temperament in foreign trade: "I'm going to BJ soon. When I come back, I have to go back to Jiachuan to study in high school. Next time we meet

I don’t even know when.”

"Anyway, I will come here to play when I come to Shu. I have a lot of tea here."

"Old Zhang, you are so biased." Lao Chai said, "We have been here so many times and we haven't seen you hand out business cards."

Zhang Cheng just smiled and ignored Lao Chai's remarks. He brushed the Pomegranate statue that had completely dissolved the primer with water repeatedly, took a soft towel and wiped it clean: "The bottom of the seal is carved, the age is right. It's an object with a large door.

Son, I found a treasure."

"What do you mean? I don't understand." The good thing about Lao Chai is that he can just ask if he doesn't understand.

"Cowpea red glaze is a type of porcelain created and fired in the late Kangxi period. Most of the official kiln bases at that time were the 'Kangxi Year System of the Qing Dynasty' in blue and white regular script. In the late period, a small amount of seal characters began to be used, which were divided into written and engraved styles.

payment."

"The base of this pomegranate statue is obviously carved on the bottom of the tire first, and then written with copper glaze. The era of the engraving style is exactly the same as the year when the pomegranate statue was created and burned. With the base of the large door, there is no doubt that it is authentic.

.”

"I am lucky." Zhou Zhi nodded and turned the pomegranate statue around: "It is also lucky, otherwise it would be placed randomly by the dealer, and if it was knocked off and damaged, it would be a loss."

Lao Chai and the others have seen a lot of porcelain, but this is the first time they have seen seal engravings from the Kangxi official kiln. There is no doubt that this is the most solemn print of the Lao Kang kiln, and the corresponding porcelain is also the highest standard official kiln.

porcelain.

So this bottle suddenly became extremely noble and beautiful in the eyes of several people.

It is indeed more beautiful, but the bonus of natural sunlight only accounts for a small amount, and it is more of a psychological effect.

"That's all I got from Gui Shizi this time." Zhou Zhi said, "Uncle Zhang, please introduce your collection to me."

"See for yourself, I will study Chongzhen blue and white," Zhang Cheng waved his hand: "It's fine if something is missed, but it shouldn't be missed if the opportunity for research is missed."

"I also look at blue and white." Lao Chai was not willing to let go of such a good learning opportunity.

So the people in the shop were divided into three groups, two were studying Chongzhen blue and white, two were studying Kangxi seal cutting inscriptions, and one was wandering around.

It should be said that Dayazhai has a good foundation. Zhang Cheng has definitely received guidance from famous teachers, and the things collected at the counter have been visited in a systematic and orderly manner.

For example, the blue and white and pastel colors on the two counters are all arranged along the Kangyong Road, and connoisseurs can tell the owner's vision at a glance.

Except for the third generation of the Qing Dynasty, the treasure of the store should be a Dehua porcelain Arhat statue, and the rest is a counter of miscellaneous small items.

"Uncle Zhang, how do you sell these beads?" Zhou Zhi found that there were more than ten Baoshan Nanhong beads in it. Thinking that he also had some that Uncle Yu gave as a gift, Zhou Zhi started to collect them.

"If you like it, I'll give it to you. I still have it in the drawer under the cabinet, maybe twenty or thirty in total, and they're all incomplete." Zhang Cheng studied the blue and white porcelain with a magnifying glass without looking back: "Even if it's the viewing fee!

"

"Thank you, Uncle Zhang!" Zhou Zhi was not polite, opened the cabinet and put away all the beads.

Chaozhu is a very complicated accessory. It was worn with court attire in the Qing Dynasty. It can be worn by officials of the fifth rank of civil servants and officials of the fourth rank of military attachés.

The format of the beads is one hundred and eight main beads in a string, and every twenty-seventh there will be a larger bead of another material as a spacer bead. The bead at the back of the neck also has a mouth, which is called a bead.

As "Buddha Head".

The Buddha's head is three-way. In addition to being connected to the bead string, there is also a sash extending from the bottom of the mouth. A square carved ornament is connected to the sash, which is called "back cloud". The sash is continued under the back cloud and has another sash at the bottom.

There is a drop-shaped ornament called a "falling foot".

There are also three wicker-shaped beads on the bead string, two on the left and one on the right, ten beads each. There are also small drop feet at the bottom. These beads are called "note twists".

Sometimes the various parts are separated by small thin sheets, called "spacers".

Such a set of things are all made of precious stones, gold and jade, and the materials are usually pearls, jade, agate, lapis lazuli, coral, turquoise, etc.

Various colors are related to status and occasions. For example, the Empress Dowager's court dress requires three strings, one with East beads hanging in the middle and two with coral hanging diagonally on the shoulders.

The emperor hung lapis lazuli beads to worship the sky, amber to worship the ground, coral to worship the sun, and turquoise to worship the moon. They were all very particular.

Baoshan Nanhong belongs to the agate category. Because its color is close to coral, it is used by the people to replace coral pearls. The material was almost exhausted in the late Qing Dynasty.

But Baoshan is in the middle of Yunnan, and things must go through Shuzhong when they are sent out. Therefore, in various cultural and entertainment stalls in this era, there are often scattered Nanhong and jade beads, and they are sold very cheaply, with the same price as copper coins. One or two

You can buy one for only 1 yuan.

However, it seems that no one has ever thought about collecting beads and rearranging them into strings.

Zhou Zhi has now collected a batch of beads accessories, including Buddha heads, back clouds, bottom pendants, etc. There are also hundreds of southern red beads and jade beads, but they are of different sizes and cannot be assembled into a complete string.

Since Lao Zhang was willing to give it away, Zhou Zhi was not polite, but he didn't know if Nanhong Chao's pearls could be collected after adding this batch of beads.

The antique store adheres to the policy of "not open for three years, but open for three years". The store was actually clean, and while everyone was busy doing business, someone pushed the door open and walked in: "I walked around and saw no one, so I guess you are here! What are you doing, elbow?"

What's going on? You won't even reply if I call you!"

"Oops, the pager is out of battery." Zhou Zhi then remembered to look at his pager and found that the battery had been replaced.

"Shu Yi came to see you if I have something to do." The person who came was none other than Fei Guan: "I arranged for them to eat outside."

After saying that, he raised his hand to Zhang Cheng and said, "Senior brother."

"Senior brother?" Zhou Zhi felt very strange. They said that Jiachuan is a place where villains know people. It seems that the capital of Shu is not big at all!

Fei Guan smiled and introduced to Jiuzi: "You all know each other, right? This Zhang Cheng, his master, and Mr. Zhang, our Gongmei master, are fellow apprentices at the old Qintai Antique Shop, so we are considered fellow apprentices.

.”

"No, I'm not so affectionate." Zhang Cheng laughed and said, "Uncle Master has never recognized you as his disciple."

"You guys chat first, I'm going to ask Shu Yi what's going on." After Zhou Zhi said that, he opened the door and went out.

Fu Xia was eating big gulps of steamed rice rolls. This girl also knew that steamed rice rolls soaked in pots and pans were more authentic than Jiang Shuyi's, who had a small mouthful of rice rolls and a handful of rice noodles.

"Shu Yi, are you sleepy?" Zhou Zhi asked, "It will be a while before we can go back."

Jiang Shuyi shook her head, took out a notebook and opened it: "Take a look, I think you must like these things."

Zhou Zhi took the book and found that it was densely packed with book titles.

"Xuan Shi Zhi", "Ju Tan Lu", "Jin Hua Zi's Miscellaneous Collection", "Xuan He Painting Book", "Mustard Seed Garden Painting Book", "Chengdu Chronicle"...
