"Thank you all for coming. Let me introduce some special treasures to you. If you are interested, you can listen to them. If you are not interested, you can freely look around." Mr. Xie proudly introduced several treasures. For cultural relics programs, the words are clear and the rhythm is gentle, and the voice is very comfortable to listen to.
Among the treasures here, there are bronze tripods, porcelain vases, bronze statues, jade Guanyin, bronze mirrors... everything is available, full of ancient flavor and dazzling.
What Mr. Xie mainly introduced were the treasures that were covered with cloth at the beginning. One of them was a Qianlong pastel revolving vase of the Qing Dynasty. Not only was this porcelain vase precious, but it was also because Mr. Xie bought it from abroad and only used it. For hundreds of thousands of yuan, it can be said that he picked up a big deal. This is also the most proud thing in his history of picking up items.
In addition, there is also a Baoteng waist knife with golden peach skin sheath and Tianzi No. 17 made by Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty. The whole knife is slender S-shaped, with a slightly upward curve from the blade to the tip, and a white jade carved handle. The bottom of the handle is closed in a scroll shape, and a six-petaled flower is carved in the middle. A hole is drilled in the center of the flower, and a yellow silk ribbon with beads and tassels is threaded through. The blade is gold-plated and carved. The blade is decorated with gold, silver and copper wire inlaid flowers and cloud and dragon patterns near the blade. There is also a gold and silver wire decorative frame inlaid with the poetic name of the sword - "Bao Teng", as well as the royal title of the sword. The serial number is "Tian Zi No. 17", and the same position on the other side is the four-character inscription "Qianlong Year System". The scabbard is made of wood, with a woven peach skin decoration on the outside, and a gold-plated and carved loop with a yellow lanyard. The materials are precious, the workmanship is exquisite, the meaning is profound, and the artistic value and historical value are both equal. It represents the highest level of palace imperial craftsmanship in the "Kangxi and Qianlong Dynasties".
After a while, Mr. Xie came to a glass box covered by a black cloth. Before opening the black cloth, he looked in Mr. Tao's direction and introduced: "The creator of this treasure is here, a modern sculpture artist. Mr. Tao Qinzhu Tao, thank you Mr. Tao for bringing such a treasure to my collection."
Everyone turned to look at Mr. Tao and applauded. Mr. Tao smiled modestly at everyone. Then, Mr. Xie lifted up the black cloth and revealed the contents of the glass box. Everyone looked at it and were surprised. At first glance, it turned out to be a miniature waterfall. The cliffs, the flowing river, the waves rushing under the waterfall, the strange rocks and shrubs on both sides... everything was so lifelike. After taking a closer look, I discovered that this was actually just the inside of a piece of bamboo, with knots still left on both sides.
"Oh my God, it's so vivid."
"A piece of bamboo can be carved so beautifully. It's so miraculous."
"Lao Tao's carving skills are getting more and more exquisite."
Everyone was amazed, including Su Jing, Liu Qing, Liu Hong, Qian Yingning, Qian Jibing and others, and Cai Jing couldn't help but applaud. Tao Qinzhu was praised by everyone, but he only showed a faint smile, appearing very calm and well-educated.
Su Jing had known that Tao Qin's bamboo carving was excellent, but she didn't expect that he was so good at it. This time it was an eye-opener. Of course, he also saw that this piece of bamboo was from the Qin Emperor's time and space.
Mr. Xie continued to introduce, and also introduced one item that was sent by Mr. Qian, which was a snuff bottle from the Qing Dynasty. After introducing a few more items, he did not introduce any more and let everyone see for themselves. At this time, there was a tall man with a handsome face. A handsome young man holding a box stood up and said: "Mr. I bought it when I was young, and I asked Mr. Xie to help me control the eyes."
"Open it quickly and take a look." Mr. Xie was very interested.
"Please take a look." While opening the box, the handsome young man glanced at Qian Yingning intentionally or unintentionally, with a smile on his face. Qian Yingning didn't notice it, his expression was as usual.
Su Jing noticed this, but didn't pay attention to it. He probably knew the handsome young man and Qian Yingning. I just felt that the handsome young man looked familiar, as if I had seen him somewhere. Liu Qing, on the other hand, curled his lips and then looked at Qian Yingning a few more times, unable to hide his admiration.
The handsome young man opened the box. Inside was a stone sculpture of a Buddha. The Buddha's back looked like a stone slab. To be honest, the carving and shape looked very ordinary.
"Tch, I thought it was some kind of treasure, but I didn't expect it to be just a stone sculpture. It looked like it was carved casually by ordinary people. Fortunately, he had the nerve to take it out." Liu Qing muttered disdainfully, with a kind of bewildered confidence on his face. Su Jing was a little speechless. Have you ever learned about antiques? She still said it very knowledgably.
Mr. Xie put on his gloves, carefully picked up the stone sculpture, observed it carefully, and said with a smile: "My dear friend, how much did you spend to buy this stone sculpture?"
"Three thousand," said the handsome young man.
Mr. Xie did not tell the truth directly, but commented in detail: "I think everyone knows that the Buddha statues in our stone temples generally have plump and round foreheads, full faces, many buns on their heads, and small snail hair. , and this one is a tall bun, what’s going on?”
"Actually, this is the case. Buddhism was introduced to our country at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty and reached its peak during the Southern and Northern Dynasties. After it was first introduced to China, according to the image of our Chinese people, the statues were all wearing robes with broad belts, wide robes with big sleeves, and cassocks. Through the shoulder style. Moreover, because the carving techniques were not very mature at that time, it did not appear as a separate round carving piece, but in the form of a high relief in front of the backlight, carving the Buddha and the backlight together... "
"Based on the overall judgment, this is a stone Buddha statue from the Southern Dynasties. It is a good collection. I bought it for 3,000 yuan, so I made a big mistake."
The handsome young man chuckled: "Thank you very much for your advice. It seems that my vision and luck are pretty good. However, Mr. Xie still knows his stuff. Let's keep this collection here."
"Haha, thank you very much, little friend. You can keep it here for storage and display for the time being. You can take it back whenever you want." Mr. Xie chuckled and asked someone to put the stone sculpture into the exhibition stand.
The handsome young man glanced at Qian Yingning again, his expression slightly triumphant. However, Qian Yingning still didn't seem to see him, which made his expression a little depressed. Liu Qing's face was even more unhappy. He didn't expect that the stone sculpture that looked so ordinary was actually an antique. He always felt that the junk must be fake. Who could collect such ugly Buddha statues? But this was what Mr. Xie had identified, and he didn't dare to refute it.
Liu Qing suddenly ran out, got into the car, and came back with a small box. He had obviously prepared it early in the morning, but he just didn't bring it in. He walked towards Mr. Xie and said, "Mr. Xie, I spent some money to buy a few boxes some time ago." It’s a thing, how about you also help me control my eyes?”
