Chapter 414

"I think it's something from ancient times, but I can't tell the specific origin."

Tao Yuan's family comes from a family of antiques. He has been exposed to antiques since he was a child, and he can be said to be well-informed.

Even Jiang Yuan, without special abilities, is far behind Tao Yuan.

Then I heard Tao Yuan frown and say:

"The antique circle refers to the era before the Tang Dynasty as Gaogu, Xia, Shang and Zhou, Qin, Chu and Han, Three Kingdoms, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties..."

"Because these dynasties were so long ago, they left few historical relics and the relevant antique knowledge is not rich."

"It's hard to tell specifically."

"I have studied the characteristics of many ancient antiques over the years, but this is the first time I have seen something like this."

After thinking for a while, Tao Yuan continued:

"We generally believe that the Xia Dynasty is the earliest dynasty in our country."

"Did you know that there is another theory that before the Xia Dynasty, there was another Yu Dynasty that existed for about fifteen hundred years."

Jiang Yuan frowned, "I really don't know this."

Tao Yuan nodded, "Many ancient books, including The Analects of Confucius, have mentioned this Yu Dynasty, but so far, no traces of this dynasty have been found."

"There are no ruins and no relevant cultural relics remain."

Jiang Yuan looked overjoyed, "If this fish-shaped jade pendant was left behind by the Yu Dynasty, wouldn't it be the first thing related to the Yu Dynasty in the antique world?"

Tao Yuan frowned, "The possibility is almost zero."

"Because the existence of the Yu Dynasty is still a mystery, and we have no way to know the characteristics of the cultural relics of the Yu Dynasty."

"This jade pendant is more likely to be a figment of the ancient times."

Jiang Yuan nodded, "Senior, can you tell if this jade pendant has any special purpose?"

"Because there is more than one jade pendant."

Tao Yuan shook his head, "In addition to being used for decoration, jade pendants are used as tokens to show one's life and rights."

"Some will also record some important information on the jade pendant."

"Or there may be some jade objects with strange shapes that can be used as keys."

As he spoke, Tao Yuan looked at the fish-shaped jade pendant in his hand, shook his head and said:

"I can't tell that this jade pendant has any special function."

Jiang Yuan took the jade pendant handed over by Tao Yuan, nodded and put it into his arms.

Since his father wrote a letter telling him not to investigate his affairs.

Then just don't take any action for the time being.

Jiang Yuan is sure that his father's ability must be stronger than his own!

After a while, Jiang Yuan left Nanshan with Zhang Wengang.

On the way, Zhang Wengang asked curiously:

"President, who is more accomplished in antiques, you or Senior Tao Yuan?"

Jiang Yuan said without thinking:

"In terms of his experience, knowledge and experience in antiques alone, senior Tao Yuan is definitely the best."

"When it comes to vision, well," Jiang Yuan said modestly, "I don't accept anyone."

Zhang Wen was just infected by Jiang Yuan's strong self-confidence, and he felt proud. As long as he studied hard with Jiang Yuan, one day he would become such a powerful person!

Back in the city, the two went back to the hotel.

Early the next morning, Jiang Yuan took

Zhang Wengang went to Wuxianqiao Antique Market again.

The exchange meeting has ended, and the antique market has returned to its busy state.

Jiang Yuan and the other two came to an antique shop called Mingyuan Pavilion.

According to Tan Song, the owner of this store is Li Heng, one of the vice presidents of the Jiangdu Antiques Association.

When Jiang Yuan and the two entered the door, Li Heng was sweeping the floor in the store.

Although he is the vice president of Jiangdu Antiques Association, has status and wealth, there are no employees in this store, he is the only one.

The purpose of opening Mingyuan Pavilion is not mainly to make money, but to have a place to display his collection, and also to provide a place for sellers who want to sell their calligraphy and painting works.

Sure enough, when I stood at the door and looked inside, the store was full of calligraphy, calligraphy and painting works.

Li Heng is indeed the top collector of calligraphy and painting in the domestic antique circle. Even Jiang Yuan can't help but admire the things in this store. Every piece is a treasure. Although not every piece is top-notch, they are all extremely rare.

Something has arrived.

Seeing Jiang Yuan entering the door, Li Heng was stunned for a moment, then clasped his fists and said, "President Jiang came to the door early in the morning. I don't know what happened."

"Senior, you're welcome," Jiang Yuan also smiled and clasped his fists, "I'm taking the liberty of coming to visit. I'd better not blame you, senior."

"President Jiang is also polite, please take a seat," Li Heng nodded to Jiang Yuan, "Yesterday at the exchange meeting, you could tell at a glance that the Xu Beihong painting was a fake. I admire your eyesight very much."

"And the "Ge Zhichuan Migration Map" brought by Zhang Guhua, the president of your Binhai Antiques Association, is also a rare treasure."

"I am planning to take time to visit Zhang Guhua in your coastal area in the next few days and appreciate his collection."

"I heard that he also specializes in collecting paintings and calligraphy?"

Jiang Yuan nodded, "Uncle Zhang lives in Binhai and has the reputation of being the number one collector of ancient paintings."

"I believe you and him will become good friends."

Li Heng nodded, "Your Binhai antique circle is not very friendly to our collectors in Jiangdu. Of course, this is also the reason why our Jiangdu Antiques Association planted the seeds."

"I hope Zhang Guhua will not turn me away after I go."

Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "Senior, you are worrying too much."

"I came today to talk about this matter."

"Yesterday afternoon, I visited Mr. Tao Yuan."

"Is he in good health?" Li Heng asked with a smile:

"That old guy is really enjoying himself. He found such a good place and lived in seclusion like the ancients. He really ended up in a leisurely and comfortable place."

"I can't do it anymore. I still like to move around in circles."

Jiang Yuan nodded and said straight to the point:

"I came to see you today, mainly because I want to ask you if you have any plans to become the president of the Jiangdu Antiques Association?"

Li Heng frowned slightly, "The president is Jiang Ming."

Jiang Yuan shook his head, "He is not worthy. I believe you know this, senior."

"Including this antique exchange meeting, he invited us, Binhai Antiques Association, just to embarrass our Binhai Antiques Association."

"His mind is narrow-minded."

"If the president of Jiangdu Antiques Association is you, senior, I believe that Jiangdu Antiques Association will definitely strengthen cooperation with our Binhai Antiques Association and other regional antiques associations."

"Only in this way can the domestic antiques circle thrive."

"Seniors should also know that currently I

There is a big gap between our domestic antique market and the foreign art market."

"It is obviously a precious antique that embodies the history and culture of our nation, but its value has not increased."

"On the contrary, foreigners understand the value of our domestic antiques."

"Take the painting "The Pillar Inscription" that you brought to display yesterday. In China, it is worth two to three million at most, but in foreign art market auctions, it can definitely reach tens of millions. Between this,

There is a gap of ten times or twenty times!"

"Only when the domestic antique market prospers can these antiques truly realize their value."

Li Heng frowned, "What can I do alone?"

"Even if I become the president of the Jiangdu Antiques Association, nothing will change."

Jiang Yuan shook his head, "Senior, you are being humble."

"At least, senior, if you become the president, you will be much better than Jiang Ming."

Li Heng pondered for a moment, "Actually, you shouldn't worry about this matter at all."

"After what happened yesterday, there are already voices opposing Jiang Ming within our Jiangdu Antiques Association."

"This matter should not be rushed."

"Jiangdu Antiques Association is not an association for me, Li Heng. Everything depends on the wishes of all members."

"As for who will be the president in the end, I will have no objection."

Jiang Yuan smiled and nodded, "I understand what senior means."

"I will be going back to Binhai soon. I will tell senior Zhang Guhua that if he goes to Binhai, he is also welcome to visit my Wanbao Building."

Li Heng nodded, but stopped Jiang Yuan, who was about to leave, "You might as well appreciate the paintings and calligraphy in my shop."

"Although people say that my attainments in calligraphy and painting are among the best in China, I know very well that my appraisal thinking has been fixed, and it is inevitable that there will be omissions."

Jiang Yuan nodded, glanced around, and while admiring, walked closer to visit.

There are hundreds of treasures in this store.

Jiang Yuan finally stopped in front of an unknown painting.

"This painting is very beautiful, which shows that the author is very accomplished, not inferior to some famous artists in history."

"It is indeed an old object. It should be around the Yuan Dynasty."

"It's just a pity that I don't know who the author is."

Li Heng nodded, "If we knew who the author was, the value of this painting would increase several times."

Jiang Yuan nodded, "Senior has unique eyesight. There are no big problems with anything here."

"But," Jiang Yuan smiled and pointed to the 'Anonymous' painting in front of him.

"If senior is willing, you can peel off the surface of this painting, and there should be a lot of things inside."

Jiang Yuan smiled mysteriously, "It's just that it's easy to destroy the outer layer."

After saying that, Jiang Yuan said goodbye and left with Zhang Wengang.

Li Heng thought about Jiang Yuan's painting, then went to get tools from the inner room, and carefully tried to uncover the surface layer of the painting.

After a while, he trembled and found that the painting had more than one layer.

He couldn't bear to part with the outer layer of the painting, so he could only be more careful and try not to damage the outer layer.

Two hours later, he only opened a palm-sized corner, and the layer below suddenly revealed a trace of a red seal.

After looking at the name on it, Li Heng looked overjoyed, "It's actually an authentic work by Song Huizong!"
