The leisurely life of rebirth
Chapter 648
Of course, a well-known auction company in this world will never allow counterfeiting under normal circumstances. Just like what Han Zhiqian said about smashing signs, no one would risk their reputation. But if the level of counterfeiting is high,
, but I really can’t say for sure, otherwise why would the demon be so high and the road so high?
Of course, there are still appraisers in auction houses to identify the authenticity of some calligraphy and painting antiques. If there are really good items, the auction house will bid for them as appropriate.
The five people were admiring it while walking, but when they reached a display case, Fang Monan stopped and frowned slightly. In the display case, there was a Ru kiln azure glaze round washer with an open mouth and a shallow curved wall.
, the ring foot is slightly outward. The body is fragrant gray. The whole body is covered with light azure glaze, the glaze color is shiny and smooth. The glaze surface is finely broken.
There are three small burnt nail marks on the outsole, which are as small as sesame grains, and the word "Cai" is engraved on it. The date on the label below reads: Northern Song Dynasty. Han Zhiqian clicked his tongue and said, "This is the Ru kiln
Azure glaze round wash! This is the highlight of this auction! It’s really priceless!”
"It's just this little thing." The fat man curled his lips and said, his stretched out hand was no bigger than his palm.
"What do you know? Ru, Guan, Ge, Jun, and Ding are one of the five famous porcelains. The first of the famous porcelains, Ru kiln is the leader. The craftsmen of Ru kiln used precious agate as glaze and fired it into a porcelain with the color of 'green'
The sky is like jade, with patterns of cicada wings, few morning stars, and sesame branches and nail glaze." Han Zhiqian paused and said.
, "The sky blue is the most valuable, the pink blue is the best, the sky blue is extremely precious, and this sky blue is like 'the rain breaks the sky and the clear clouds break the virginity'. The glaze house is thick, like a pile of fat, looks like jasper, and the sound of the buttons is like a sweet scent.
.The glaze has crab claw patterns, fish roe patterns and sesame flowers. It is so well preserved that it is absolutely top quality."[
Han Zhiqian continued, "After the Jin Dynasty destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty, the Ru Kiln also died out. The kiln was opened only twenty years ago. Due to the short firing time, not many were handed down. In the Southern Song Dynasty, the Ru Kiln porcelain was already very rare. It was passed down.
Today, there are less than a hundred authentic pieces, and only 65 are known, including 21 from the National Palace Museum in Taipei.
There are 17 pieces in the Forbidden City in Beijing, 8 pieces in the Shanghai Museum, 7 pieces in the Davy Chinese Art Foundation in the UK, and about 10 pieces scattered in other museums and private collections in the United States and Japan. There are less than 10 museums in the world that have collections of Ru kiln porcelain.
Ten. Just because something is rare, it is definitely this one." He gave a thumbs up.
"Your porcelain uses precious agate as the glaze. The color is unique. It is praised as 'agate is the glaze passed down from ancient times'. It changes with the light and the glaze color changes with the light, just like the beauty of 'the rain breaks the sky and the clouds break the virginity'. It is warm and simple. The surface of the utensil is beautiful.
The small cicada wing pattern is known as 'pear skin, crab claw, sesame flower'. In the Northern Song Dynasty, Ru porcelain watches were often engraved with 'Fenghua'.
Cai Jing, the minister of the capital, once carved the surname "Cai" as a mark of honor. Since the Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, the Ru porcelain utensils used in the palace and stored in the inner treasury are regarded as treasures, and they are as valuable as the Shang, Yi, and Zhou dings.
"It's called 'even if you have a huge fortune, it's not as good as a piece of your porcelain'." He Junyao pointed to Yuan Xi's back and said the word "Cai".
"The army also knows this." Han Zhiqian asked.
"I've heard of it," He Junyao replied.
Han Zhiqian felt relieved when he thought about his family background.
The preciousness of Ru kiln celadon can be seen from the transaction prices at later auctions. In 1992, a Ru kiln small plate with a diameter of 8 cm was sold for US$1.54 million at an auction at Sotheby's in New York. Later, in
At an auction in Hong Kong, a Ru kiln three sacrifice statue set a record price of HK$50 million.
At Sotheby's Hong Kong auction on April 4, 2012, the 900-year-old "Northern Song Dynasty Ru Kiln Azure Glaze Sunflower Wash" was sold for a sky-high price of more than HK$200 million after 34 bids, which was higher than the pre-auction estimate.
More than three times the price, setting a new world auction record for Song porcelain.
Ever since Fang Monan saw the azure-glazed round wash, his beautiful eyebrows had not relaxed.
"What's wrong?" Han Zhiqian stood beside her and asked curiously.
"Well! It's best not to keep this thing privately. It can't be suppressed. It was unearthed from a tomb."
Han Zhiqian was startled. He originally wanted to take a photo, but after hearing what she said, he immediately gave up. He has been collecting antiques, calligraphy and paintings over the years, and he is also very familiar with some taboos. Everything that comes out of the tomb is supposed to belong to the country. But this is also a score.
The archaeological discovery was made by private tomb robbers. Looking at Fang Monan's appearance, one could tell that the origin of this item was somewhat unclear, tainted with evil spirits, and a bit ominous. Museum collections can be suppressed, but private ownership may not be the case.
Normally, such an auction company would also have items of unknown origin. This is not surprising. If all the items were of genuine origin, there would be no smuggling.
To be more serious, there are countless cultural relics that have been looted from China. Look at the major museums around the world and see which ones do not have Chinese cultural relics. They still appear in major auctions.
"Yes! I understand. According to metaphysics, some items such as jewelry and diamonds are always accompanied by murder and robbery. They are ominous things stained with blood." Han Zhiqian said, rubbing his chin.
There are countless such examples, such as the blue diamond called 'Hope'. It was a French explorer and jeweler in southwestern India who first obtained this huge gem diamond, weighing 112 carats. It has extremely rare properties.
of dark blue.
Tavimir brought the gem back to France and presented it to King Louis XIV of France. The king granted him an official position and rewarded him with a large sum of money as the price of the gem. The legendary bad luck also began to befall those who came into contact with the gem.
Tavimir's property was squandered by his unfilial son, so that when he was 80 years old and penniless, he still had to go to India again, hoping to find new wealth.
However, he was bitten to death by a wild dog there.
However, the legendary life of this diamond did not end there. Louis XIV carried it for a day and later died of smallpox. As everyone knows, Louis XVI was sent to the guillotine during the French Revolution. Later, it was photographed by other people.
The result is either bankruptcy and poverty, or death in mysterious circumstances.
In the end, the best destination for this affordable blue diamond, which had gone through ups and downs and was the diamond of doom, was to be placed in the Smithsonian Institution in the United States. From then on, it was no longer about showing off luxury and wealth, or adding to personal beauty.
They are no longer beautiful decorations, but have become specimens for scientific research.
"Although it's not far, it's almost the same." Fang Monan nodded and smiled. The reason why she dared to make such a conclusion was because in her eyes, this Ru kiln was covered with a layer of black and evil aura. If it weren't for
If it is formed in a tomb with bad feng shui, it is very likely that someone dug a hole the day after tomorrow and ruined the feng shui in the tomb, which will lead to the mold being contaminated over time.[
In metaphysics, mold should be a place where yin energy gathers, and if it goes on for a long time, mold will grow. In the Book of Changes, mold is predicted to be bad luck. According to the seven rounds of the human body, if the mold is severe, the seven rounds will be disordered, and people will easily get sick! Sickness is
In traditional Chinese medicine, there is no such thing as disease in metaphysics. Traditional Chinese medicine and metaphysics have a certain relationship.
The theory of traditional Chinese medicine believes that "when healthy qi is stored, evil cannot be affected; where evil gathers, its qi must be deficient." And disease qi is evil. Why do people get sick? Diseases are caused by the invasion of evil. People live in nature, due to
Exogenous pathogenic factors, internal injuries to the seven emotions, eating disorders, overwork, phlegm, blood stasis, and damage to essence and qi will cause internal organ dysfunction and malfunction of the track of true qi. Diseases will take advantage of the weakness and people will get sick. We practice
The purpose of nourishing qigong is to adjust yin and yang, cultivate healthy qi, strengthen the body and eliminate evil, so as to achieve the actual effect of curing diseases and keeping fit.
If this Yuan Xi Yin evil spirit gathers together, it will be fine if it is placed in a museum. But if it is placed at home and viewed at close range and exposed to it for a long time, evil spirits will definitely enter the body, leading to an imbalance of yin and yang, which is very bad for the body. Poor health, career,
Luck and other factors will naturally be affected.
"Son, why do you like it?" Han Jin walked over in a black casual suit and asked. He just saw them surrounding the highlight of the auction, so he asked this question.
"I have taken a fancy to it, but it's not suitable for personal collection." Han Zhiqian shrugged.
They are all smart people, and they will know what is going on as soon as they hear it. Han Jin reassured, "It doesn't matter, there are many good things, and this is not missing."
Han Zhiqian's so-called shrug, "Dad, what do you fancy?"
"Me! I have taken a fancy to a piece of ancient jade and bought it for your mother to ward off evil spirits." There was a flash of tenderness in Han Jin's eyes, and it was only when he mentioned Han's mother that the expression on his face became more sincere and softer.
"I have a lot of jade, so I'll get two pieces for my mother," Han Zhiqian said.
"The meaning is different." Han Jin shook his head and refused. "Boy, don't think that I don't know what you are planning. She is my woman. Go home and pamper your wife and children."
"Hmph!" Han Zhiqian turned away awkwardly, and made up his mind to give his mother a piece of jade with a golden and auspicious aura to see who she would wear.
Han Jin has absolute confidence in this point. In all matters, Han's mother will always be with him, except for her son, so she directly warned and nipped it in the bud.
Fang Monan pursed his lips and shook his head, laughing, "For the father and son, only a woman like Mother Han can control these two giant Buddhas."
At the end of the exhibition time, Fang Monan and others entered the auction hall together. She looked at Cheng Shigui, Liang Zi and the others with satisfied eyes, probably finding their favorite lot. The auction hall was brightly lit, with thirty round tables arranged in five rows, each row
There are six tables. After the invited guests enter, they will be seated at the table by the staff.
At this moment, the door behind him suddenly became lively. Many wealthy people who were already present stood up and looked towards the door with smiles on their faces.
"Oh! It turns out that it's Mr. Cheng, Mr. He and the others who are here." Fang Monan muttered in her heart. Just as she was muttering, someone came in and said, "There is also a person who will top the list of Hong Kong's richest people in future generations. He is also here.
It’s really a gathering of rich and famous people.”
The atmosphere became even more lively.
Cheng Shigui got up and walked over, helped the two grandfathers to the first row, sat down, greeted them, and sat back down.
The two old men saw the direction where Fang Monan and the others were sitting, and Fang Monan made a greeting gesture with his hand on the table.
The two old men looked at each other, smiled, and nodded slightly. Although the little girl did not come in person, her courtesy was very thoughtful. (To be continued...)
