Live shop exploration: 200 yuan to challenge the antique street

Chapter 270
"The first lot reached [-] million... It is undoubtedly a fool's dream for us to buy the finale treasure and Choi with this money..." Zhao Chengjin and the other two professors were extremely frustrated.

Originally, they were lucky, but now it seems that this trip is destined to return empty-handed for them.

The transaction price of the first dragon head was as high as more than [-] million yuan, which was beyond the expectations of Chu Ang and others.

In the 20s, monkey heads were sold for HK$80 on Hong Kong Island.

On April 2000, 4, the Niu Shou was sold for HK$30 million.

On May 2000, 5, the tiger head was purchased at Sotheby's auction house for HK$2.

In 2003, the Macau gambling king bought back the pig head bronze statue for more than 600 million yuan.

In October 2007, the horse head was sold for 10 million Hong Kong dollars.

On February 2009, 2, the heads of rats and rabbits were auctioned for 26 million euros

On December 2018, 12, the suspected dragon head appeared at the auction and was bought by a Chinese buyer for 17 million (the authenticity is unknown).

Today, the reappearance of the dragon head once again broke the transaction record of the twelve zodiac signs.

.........

For today's auction, Bonhams seems to have been preparing for a long time, not only the dragon head, but also several important treasures.

Qing Dynasty Kangxi Fine Porcelain Brush Wash!

Song Dynasty celebrity calligraphy and painting!

Among them is a Western Picasso oil painting.

The entire auction was pushed to a wave of climaxes.

Finally, the finale treasure has arrived!
Time seemed to have stopped at this moment, and everyone held their breath and stared at the front.

The jade seal is four inches in diameter, with five dragons intersecting on the top button, moist in color, transparent and flawless, and exquisite in shape.

"Is this the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom?" Everyone lost their minds for a while.

"Hahaha. Everyone must have been waiting for a long time..."

The voice of the auctioneer came again, and the voice was much more serious than before, "Actually, to tell you the truth, after hearing the news of Chuan Guo Yuxi, I was really shocked. My first reaction was not to believe it, but after dozens of After research by an appraiser and the most rigorous scientific instrument testing, I gradually believed in this fact..."

The salesman looked at the audience, with a decent smile on his face, and his voice was clear and sweet, "This jade seal is the Chuanguo jade seal that has been missing for thousands of years!"

"Of course!"

The auctioneer changed the subject, "As the saying goes, what you see is true what you hear is not what you hear. Even though what I said is too much hype, it's better for you to see the real face of the real thing and test it for yourself..."

Speaking of which, the auctioneer beckoned, summoned the hostess, and told the hostess to uncover all the red hijabs behind the shelves.

After the Miss Manners opened it, everyone discovered that the shelves behind were not Ru kiln porcelain, but fragments, tea, magnifying glasses, microscopes, detectors and other items.

"What is this going to do?" Everyone was suspicious and puzzled.

At this moment, the voice of the Bonhams auctioneer continued, "Everyone, Bonhams has prepared all the known identification methods for you. Please, is this Jade Seal from the Nation Real? It's still fake!"

"..."

Hearing this, there was a dead silence in the audience, and everyone was moved.

"Even the microscope is ready... Bonhams can really confirm that the Jade Seal of the Kingdom is real?"

"What a guts! We allowed us to use various means to identify it. It seems that Bonhams is very confident!"

"I'll go and have a look... I know jade!"

"If this Jade Seal of Chuanguo is real, where did they get it? I'm also very interested in the story behind it..."

Almost everyone who knew about antiques stepped forward to check with incomparable doubts.

Even those wealthy East Asians who didn't understand but were interested in the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom also came to the stage to watch this Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom that only existed in legends.

Even in ancient times, there were very few people who had access to the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom.

If this one is real, even if you can't get it, you can take a look at it, which is something worth bragging about.

"It looks so domineering!" Someone exclaimed.

"It looks a little small..."

"No, no, the historical records record that the Jade Seal of Chuanguo has a radius of four inches, and it is engraved with five dragons. The "one inch" in the Qin Dynasty is equivalent to 2.31 centimeters today. Therefore, the side length of this Jade Seal of Chuanguo is about 9.24 centimeters, which is just the right size. ..."

"..."

The Chuanguo Yuxi was crowded with people, and the people behind couldn't squeeze in even if they wanted to, so they had to shout, "Is there any writing on it?"

Immediately someone replied, "Yes, it is ordered by the heavens. It has a long life and a long life. The eight insect and bird scripts are calm and restrained, and the depth and depth are repeated. It is definitely in line with the description in history books."

Someone asked again, "Are there traces of gold patching?"

Someone inside replied, "Yes, gold inlaid with jade, the whole seal looks fresh and clean, like a baby's skin, delicate and soft, as strict as body temperature, without the slightest feeling of coldness!"

Someone continued to ask, "How does the whole piece of jade look?"

Someone replied: "The whole piece of jade is deep and deep, pure and moist, seemingly transparent, almost milky, it is by no means crudely made, it is indeed top-quality jade!"

Someone asked again: "..."The upper button is handed over to the five dragons", how about the five dragon carvings?"

Someone inside replied: "Chilong!"

"Chilong? Do you have an explanation?" a Filipino businessman and Chinese murmured.

"In Qin and Han jade wares, the shape of the dragon inherits the style of the Warring States Period. It is not a dragon in the modern sense, let alone a dinosaur, but a "Chilong". The Chilong is also called "Chihu", also known as "Panchi". An animal in ancient mythology, one of the legendary nine sons of the dragon. Its shape is twisted and crouching, called Panchi. The Chilong on jade wares first appeared in the Warring States period. By the late Warring States period, Chilong patterns on jade wares had become more common. , the Warring States Chilong is mainly used as a decorative pattern on jade, most of which are in the shape of an "S" curved walk, and most of them are carved!"

"..."

Hearing this, everyone suddenly realized.

Someone asked: "Where is the Destiny Shi?"

Someone inside replied: "Yes, the right side is engraved with four small characters "Tianming Shishi", exactly as the history books say!"

Compilation style, gold inlaid jade, and destiny Shishi, these are the well-known characteristics of Chuanguo Yuxi, and all traces of authenticity and falsehood can be seen through eyesight.

"They all match the real ones, it seems that the degree of imitation is very high..."

Although these characteristics are in line with the genuine one, some people still have doubts about this seal, thinking that it is a high imitation.

At this time, someone shouted again, "Is there a few words on it, "The Jade Seal of the Great Wei Shou Han Chuan Guo"?"

Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up, and they hurried to check again.

"The Jade Seal of the Kingdom of Great Wei Received from the Han Dynasty" is another story, not many people know about it.

In 220 A.D., Cao Pi, the eldest son of Cao Cao, had just inherited the throne of Wei, and he couldn't wait to force Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to take the throne.

In order to prove that his proclaiming himself emperor was "destiny", Cao Pi specially ordered someone to engrave eight characters on the jade seal: "The jade seal of the Great Wei was passed down by the Han Dynasty".

This incident was recorded in a narrative prose "The Story of Yuxi" written by Chu Suiliang, a calligrapher of the Tang Dynasty.

Chu Suiliang was born in the Chu family of Henan Province, with a prominent family background. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, he followed Xue Ju, the overlord of the Western Qin Dynasty.

After surrendering to the Tang Dynasty, he was reused by Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, from official to prime minister.

After Tang Gaozong Li Zhi succeeded to the throne, he was promoted to the right servant She, and he was canonized as Duke of Henan County.

When Wu Zetian proclaimed himself emperor, he was demoted to the governor of Tanzhou because of his opposition to Wu Zetian.

Having experienced several emperors in his life, he is one of the few people who can get in touch with the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, and the "Jade Seal" written by him is very reliable.

Not long after, he said humanely, "Also, although there are obvious signs of fire, the words "Da Wei Shou Han Chuan Guo Yuxi" can be discerned!"

The answer the man replied made everyone's hearts sink.

Could it be that this is the Jade Seal of Chuanguo!
