In the fourth game, Yoshida Ohno invited a small object.
This is a Ge Kiln porcelain statue of Maitreya Buddha. Although it is a small object, those who know the art will be shocked on the spot.
"Judges, please identify the Maitreya Buddha statue in Ge Kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty."
After Yoshida Ohno finished speaking, he put his hands behind his back with a stern expression.
Guan Haishan's brows were knitted tightly together, his expression extremely solemn.
After several referees took turns, the Ge Kiln Buddha statue fell into the hands of Guan Haishan.
He looked carefully up and down for five minutes, then glanced at Lu Fei seriously before saying.
"Everyone in the audience may know that Ge Kiln has many types of utensils, but few people have heard that Ge Kiln also has porcelain statues." .??.
"But in fact, it did happen."
"In October of the fourth year of Daguan, Zhao Ji, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, had a dream."
"In a dream, Huizong encountered a hunter approaching him carrying a seriously injured white deer."
"When he passed by Huizong, Bailu burst into tears and prayed to Huizong with his eyes."
"Huizong couldn't bear it, so he bought the white deer, found someone to treat the injury, and finally released it into the wild."
"When I returned, I met Maitreya Buddha in the forest and smiled and nodded to him."
"Although I wake up from the dream, all the dreams are still fresh in my memory."
"Huizong immediately drew the smiling face of Maitreya Buddha."
"The painting has just been completed, and the ladies from the harem came to report that Concubine Qiao gave birth to her son successfully."
"Huizong was very happy and named the child Zhao Gong."
"Reminiscent of last night's dream, Huizong believed that it was an auspicious sign sent to him by Maitreya Buddha. This child will definitely achieve great things in the future."
"So, Zhao Gong was canonized as the Duke of Zhenguo on the spot."
"But what Huizong didn't expect was that the child would unfortunately die when he was only two years old."
"But, those are all things for later."
"Huizong was so excited about the birth of the Dragon Son that he ordered Ge Kiln to bake a porcelain statue of Maitreya Buddha according to his own painting prototype."
"It took more than three months of rush work at the kiln entrance, and countless materials were wasted before it was fired. A great contribution."
"This is also the only one."
"The first day of the first lunar month is the birthday of Buddha Maitreya."
"Huizong invited the porcelain statue into the imperial study and burned incense himself to worship it."
"Since then, the only Ge Kiln Buddha statue has remained in the Imperial Study Room."
"At the end of March in the second year of Jingkang, Emperor Jin, General Hui, and Emperor Qin, together with their concubines, royal families, hundreds of officials, thousands of people, as well as religious musicians, craftsmen, legal chariots, ceremonial guards, crowns, ritual utensils, and astronomical instruments,
Treasures and playthings, royal collections of books, maps of the state capitals of the world, etc. were escorted to the north."
"The public and private savings in Bianjing were plundered, and the Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed."
"At this point, the only Maitreya Buddha that was successfully fired in the Ge Kiln has completely disappeared."
"The five major official kilns of the Northern Song Dynasty enjoy a high reputation in the history of Chinese porcelain."
"But the only ones that have ever fired Buddha statues are Ge Kiln and Ru Kiln."
"The Ge kiln only fired one Maitreya Buddha."
"Ru kiln is the eight-part Tianlong of Fenghua style that Huizong ordered to bake in order to ward off evil spirits in Fenghua Palace."
"Unfortunately, all of them are missing."
"However, what is exciting is that today the only porcelain statue of Maitreya Buddha from Ge Kiln has been brought to light again."
"After my appraisal, the porcelain statue of Mr. Yoshida Ohno is authentic. It is the only one ordered by Emperor Huizong to be burned. It is of great historical significance and is extremely precious."
After Guan Haishan finished speaking, several other judges also gave their identification results, and they all believed that it was genuine.
Hearing this answer, the West End backstage cheered for the first time.
"marvelous!"
"marvelous!"
"Listen to the importance of what the referee said, we will definitely win this round."
"That's right!"
"We will definitely win."
"Yoshida-kun, it's true, there are so many treasures
, why did you just listen to that bastard Chang Yufei’s advice and take advantage of it!”
"If you speak with true strength early, the current situation will be completely different."
"Isn't this just what you need after you've eaten enough?"
"It doesn't matter, it's not too late to start fighting back now."
"Let Lu Fei be happy first, and then watch him fall into hell. That would be more exciting."
"Who is that? There won't be any more accidents in this game, right?"
There were cheers and celebrations backstage, and Yoshida Ohno was even more arrogant.
He gave Lu Fei a disdainful look and said.
"Lu Fei, from now on, I will beat you eight games in a row."
"You have no chance."
"Idiot!"
"Lu Fei, what did you say?"
"I said you were an idiot!"
"Did you hear that clearly?"
"you"
"Father, father!"
"Don't get along with him."
"If you are angry, you have fallen into Lu Fei's scheme."
"Let's just let our strength speak. In the end, we'll see if he can still laugh out loud." Yoshida Chohei said.
"Um!"
"you're right!"
"Dad, I listen to you."
"Dear judges, since it is confirmed to be genuine, please give me an estimate of this Buddha statue," said Yoshida Ohno.
"Don't worry about this. I have something to ask Mr. Yoshida." Guan Haishan said.
"Please speak, chief referee."
"Can you tell me how your family got this Ge Kiln Buddha statue?"
Yoshida Ohno laughed and said.
"Sorry, I have no comment."
"All right!" "Mr. Yoshida doesn't want to say it, just forget it."
"I have one more thing. If possible, could you sell us this Buddha statue?"
“Price is not an issue.”
"Chief referee, we are fighting for treasures now, please say this is inappropriate!"
"If I win, how about we make an appointment to discuss it again?" Yoshida Ohno said.
"Sorry, I'm a little excited."
"Now, please express your opinions and estimate the value of this Ge Kiln Buddha statue." Guan Haishan said.
It is really difficult to appraise this Buddha statue.
The reason is, there is no record as a reference.
"As we all know, Ge kiln firing is very difficult, and the yield is pitifully low."
"Furthermore, this porcelain Buddha is hollow-fired, and the requirements for making the carcass are even more stringent. It is not easy to successfully fire it."
"Aside from the difficulty of firing the porcelain itself, the most important thing is the historical background."
"As the chief referee said, this is the only Ge Kiln porcelain Buddha recorded in historical records."
"And it was an important treasure that Huizong supervised and personally enshrined."
"It's really rare to be able to survive through countless smoke and wars for more than 900 years."
"Taking all factors into account, I think this porcelain Buddha should be valued at 1.5 billion Chinese coins," Wang Zhenbang said.
When the estimate of 1.5 billion was announced, there were no boos in the audience.
Everyone knows that according to Guan Haishan's description, this estimate is not excessive.
It might even be on the low side.
Bo John smiled and said.
"For such a precious treasure, I think the valuation of 1.5 billion is too low."
"Let's not talk about the difficulty of burning. Just because it is the only one recorded in historical records, its value goes beyond that."
"Let me tell you my personal opinion."
"If Mr. Yoshida Ohno is willing to take action, our museum will be willing to collect even 2 billion Shenzhou coins."
