Ghost Blowing Lantern II

When "Bai Wu" saw Da Jinya trying to cross paths, although he didn't mind, he had no choice but to listen attentively. He just listened to Da Jinya drinking beer and giving him a lecture in the mist. During the Shang, Zhou and Warring States periods, the buying and selling of jade items was not allowed at all. , because at that time, jade articles were exclusive items for the privileged class, symbolizing identity and status. Therefore, the craftsmen who used the inverted bucket to touch gold at that time often did not take the jade pieces in the clear objects, but only touched the real gold and silver. , some archaeologists went to the ancient tomb and found that the gold-lined jade clothes on the tomb owner's body had been torn apart. Priceless jade pieces were thrown all over the floor, but the gold threads on the jade pieces were stripped away by the thieves. This is because the social environment at that time did not allow the circulation of jade. If anyone dared to sell jade on the street, it would be equivalent to surrendering to the Yamen.

But the times we live in are different. You can often see ancient jades in Panjiayuan. Most of these ancient jades come from the artifacts in the tombs. The environment in the tombs is different from the human world. As a result, most of these ancient jades are stained. Ancient tombs There are all kinds of messy things inside. Some people put lime in the tomb to accumulate fine sand, and some filled it with mercury. The stone was accumulated for reinforcement, and the sand was accumulated to prevent theft. It is precisely because of these miscellaneous things, plus the addition of ancient tombs. The underground environment where they are located is eroded, so most of these Ming vessels are called "Qin", and some are called "Zhen", which almost all mean the same thing.

The colors of this jade qin are various, and they are generally distinguished by color. The yellow one is more common in Shaanxi and Inner Mongolia, which is tuqin, the gray lime qin, the white one is water qin, and the black one is most common in Ming ware, which is mercury spot, and also It is called "Cinnabar Qin" or "Chenzhou Qin", the purple one is the corpse blood Qin leached from the decomposition of the dead, the green one is the copper Qin produced by being close to the bronze, and the true colors of jade are black, green, green and yellow. , black, white and other colors, among which white is especially expensive.

The ancients compared jade to virtue, indicating that jade is connected with human nature, but jade with rotten Qin is not suitable for people. These green heads in the sea are indeed very valuable ancient jade, but they are all immersed in the fishy and greasy things of the sea. It is wrapped in fishy salt brine and has been soaked in chalcedony. It looks like a stubborn stone. Those who know it feel it is a pity, while those who do not know it think it is a fake. The only way is to find someone to plate the jade. We want to revitalize the ancient jade and make it The nature of jade and the beauty of color complement each other, so how much does it cost? Ancient jade like Dapan must be found from a virgin. It is best to find a girl of eighteen or nineteen. It is not good if she is not good-looking. It is also not good if she is not a lady. She must hide the ancient jade close to her flesh. She will never leave it all year round. Use a It would be great if we can get back together in two or three years, but where can we find so many big girls? If we really had the money to hire so many beautiful girls to sell jade, would we men still have to travel thousands of miles to buy so many rotten stones? Moreover, there are too many older girls, and we can’t explain the lifestyle issue clearly. The wives at home are probably not willing to do it anymore, so these young men are very hot, and they may not be able to take action immediately after they get them back to Beijing. I don’t know how to get them. How long will it last?

Ancient jade in the sea is difficult to sell. This is just one of them. There is even worse. In fact, collectors who are fond of antiquities may not care about the color. They collect it and find someone to sell it. The ancient jade has deep spots and is old. The longer it is in Qin, the darker the color becomes. Once it is plated, all kinds of shapes and colors will reveal their splendor. The beauty is endless, showing the antique fragrance and splendor, which is called extraordinary.

But since jade can compare to people, and people are divided into three, six or nine grades, ancient jade certainly has distinctions between high and low. The materials used for ancient jade in the Spring and Autumn Period of the Yin and Shang Dynasty are secondary. Today, people mostly distinguish high and low based on their shape. Ancient jade is divided into high and low. Gui, Zhang, Bi, Hu, Huang, and Cong are top-grade, sacrificial rings and accessories are second, and sporadic jade pieces are third. But you can see that these green-headed goods are not in the upper, middle, or lower grades of ancient jade. The shape is weird and bizarre, and it lacks aesthetic value and collection value. Those who love antiquity may not be willing to spend money and waste time on it.

The most important thing for things like Mingqi Qingtou is that someone recognizes them. No one can tell the origin of these things. At most, they have some research value, but it is hard to say whether they can produce any research results. Moreover, Being incomplete is a fatal flaw...

Da Jinya kept talking and wanted to talk more, but "Bai Wu" who was listening to him couldn't sit still. He didn't expect that jade has so much exquisiteness. He was convinced and frightened. He even expressed his admiration and was willing to give this Pi Qingtou thought he was going ahead, even if he paid the tuition, he said to Da Jinya: "Doing business here is like watching the sky from the bottom of a well. If you have the chance, you must go to Panjiayuan to learn more."

Da Jinya is a hooligan who pretends to be righteous. He immediately patted his chest and promised to go to Beijing as long as he "breaks off force" and all food, accommodation and entertainment will be provided by Da Jinya. We are all brothers from the southeast to the northwest, and we are one family from all over the world. What are the men doing out here to fool around with each other? ah? Looking for money? Money is a bastard. No matter how much money you have or how little money you have, raising money will feel boring and vulgar. Aren’t we men just trying to be righteous in this life?

"Baiwu" was dumbfounded. Even if the business was won by Da Jinya, although it was not too smooth when we came out of Beijing, this time we went south and made a huge sum of money on the first day we arrived at the Coral Temple. It was a big windfall. After the transaction was completed, I remembered that there was still the most important thing to do, so I asked "Bai Wu" to find a ship that could go to sea. It didn't need to be too big, but it had to be strong, reliable, and capable Living in the wind and waves of the vast ocean, as long as it suits our liking, price is not an issue.

"Bai Wu" said, "Isn't this simple? Come with me." He took us from the fishing village to the back cliff. This coral temple island is protruding on all sides and sunken in the middle, like a lotus blooming on the blue sea. The only thing on the island is There are two small gaps in the southeast and southwest where boats can be parked. In addition, there is an old water cave under the cliff. You can also wait in the cave to go out to sea when the tide rises. When you pass by the ancient cliff and go to the water cave, you look around and you can see that the sea is connected to the sky. The sky is connected to the sea, the sea is blue and the sky is blue, and the wind is calm. I secretly prayed in my heart that I hope we can have this kind of weather when we go to sea.

After going down the cliff and entering the Dashui Cave, I found that there were many boats docked here, of all kinds, and of all ages. There were all kinds of fishing boats, small cargo ships, and sail turbines. In addition to the ones privately owned by the fishermen on the island, Some were abandoned here for repairs after accidents occurred at sea, and some were left behind by salvage teams who came here to hunt for treasures. There are also old-fashioned artillery pieces from ships in the water cave. It is said that this water cave was occupied by pirates in the past. Those old wooden ships and artillery are dozens or hundreds of years old.

"Baiwu" led us to see a few ships. I don't know much about the way of ships. It was entirely up to Uncle Ming to find a ship. Uncle Ming was very strict with the ships. After seeing them several times, he didn't give in. He is satisfied with the boats. The boats here without exception lack some of the facilities we need most. (To be continued.
