Chapter 030 Sanhe Liu’s Gourd
Now there is a silver mandarin duck wine pot emitting a dark blue treasure light in Shen Yu's backpack.
And the original engraved version of the "Decoration Journal" which is as big as a pearl just now.
I picked up two Ming Dynasty antiques in one day, which was full of luck.
The colors of the two antiques are slightly different, and Chen Yu has already discovered it.
Although they are all blue, the treasure light of the wine pot is dark blue, while the light blue light that emerges from the "Decoration Records".
The larger the antique treasure light, the higher the value, and there is no doubt about this.
However, Chen Yu has not figured out what treasure it is in the Yuanyang wine pot.
While eating in Zuixianlou, he had already observed the inside of the kettle with a strong light flashlight, but he did not find anything good.
There is a sealed space inside the wine pot. Without cutting it open, it is impossible to know what is inside.
But one thing is that the treasures in the Mandarin duck wine pot are definitely more valuable than this book "Decoration Book".
"Since the size of the treasure light determines the value of the antique, does the depth of the treasure light color represent different times in the same dynasty?" Chen Yu asked himself secretly.
"For example, I don't know which year I just bought the "Decoration Journal" was published in the Ming Dynasty, but the author was born in the tenth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty.
"The tenth year of Wanli was in 1582 AD, and there were 62 years left before the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, that is, in 1644 AD.
"From this, we can infer that the Decoration Record is an ancient book in the late Ming Dynasty.
"Since that's the case, is it possible that the light blue treasure light is the color of the antiques in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, and the dark blue treasure light means that the antique was from the early Ming Dynasty or early Ming Dynasty?
"Turn to blue, light blue represents the middle and late Qing Dynasty, while dark blue refers to the early Qing Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty?
"It's very likely."
Chen Yu felt that his understanding of the special abilities of his eyes was deepened and he was in a great mood.
He quickly walked to the cultural relics stall where Gu Qingqing was. At this time, Gu Qingqing was looking through with a gourd device with interest.
There were more than a dozen strings of cultural relics bracelets of different materials on the red velvet cloth at her feet. Gu Qingqing really bought them when she said she would buy them when she said she would give her best friend bracelets, and she would definitely not give her ones with high prices.
Chen Yu looked roughly. There were some nanmu, some gold, some big-leaf red sandalwood, some Vajra Bodhi, Star Moon Bodhi, and even a string of small-leaf red sandalwood materials.
When I saw the string of small-leafed red sandalwood bracelets, my eyes lit up. It was obvious that I had found a mistake.
Not to mention, Gu Qingqing's vision is really good. These bracelets can be said to be high-quality in terms of patina or appearance.
Among them, the market value of the Star Moon Bodhi bracelet is not as good as that of the small-leafed red sandalwood, but the patina is warm and exudes a sense of peace of mind, which makes people feel at unknowingly.
Chen Yu felt that if he had guessed correctly, the beads had been carefully played with for at least ten years, and could be said to be an old object in cultural relics.
"Brother Yu, how about these bracelets I bought?" Seeing Chen Yu coming, Gu Qingqing showed off like a child waiting to be praised.
"It's really good, Qingqing, I didn't expect your vision to be so powerful." Chen Yu praised from the bottom of his heart.
"Of course, I studied cultural and art bracelets two years ago. When I have time, I will study calligraphy, paintings and porcelain in antiques. I will graduate next year and come to help you." Gu Qingqing said solemnly.
Chen Yu subconsciously scratched his head...
There are two explanations for literary and art. One is that the four treasures of the study are pen, ink, paper and inkstones, such as pen holders, pen holders, pen washes, paperweights, and seals. These elegant objects that ancient literati like to enjoy.
There is another type of cultural relics, namely cultural relics walnuts, cultural relics gourds, cultural relics beads, etc.
Now when it comes to cultural relics in the modern sense, everyone understands these types. The above four treasures of the study and pen holders are all classified into miscellaneous items.
Modern cultural relics cannot be completely new. In the Qing Dynasty, there were rings, walnuts, gourds, and birds in cages. At least, it shows that the appearance of cultural relics walnuts and cultural relics gourds has been around for a long time.
However, bracelets have been popular for about 20 years. Although there are many people who like them, the history of bracelets is indeed so long.
It can be said that two-thirds of the players who like bracelets in cultural games account for because there are many young people.
As for why bracelets are so popular, Chen Yu doesn’t know. It feels like most players actually think it’s fun to wear them. Just buy a string of beads and it’s done without any brainstorms.
A few players have been constantly studying and playing, and the bracelets have naturally formed patina, and they have gained the life experience brought by the passage of time. Their tempers and personality are getting better and better. If they are not angry in everything, they can truly benefit from cultural and cultural relics and become real experts in the cultural and cultural collection industry.
This is the charm of cultural relics.
Seeing that Gu Qingqing was still choosing beads and gourds, Chen Yu did not disturb her, but began to look at the cultural relics stall.
The stall is not big, only about two meters away. Five neat large regular characters were written in chalk on a black wooden board: "Sanhe Liu Hulu."
When Chen Yu saw this, he noticed that there were actually the most gourds on the stall, with forty or fifty pieces, and there were a lot of bracelets and walnuts, but the area only occupied a very small part of the stall.
The stall owner is a skinny old man in his sixties. He wore a patched half-sleeved shirt, and his pants were dark blue trousers with patches. The black leather sandals on his feet were probably because they were too old and obviously faded and peeled.
The overall impression that the old man gives is that his life is a bit difficult.
But, the old man looked thin but in good spirits. He hummed a small song that he couldn't understand in his mouth, looking leisurely and contented.
When he was tired of singing, he picked up a large thermos cup to drink water and found that Chen Yu was looking at him. The two of them met with each other. Chen Yu immediately smiled politely and said hello first: "Hello, old man."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!
The old man just nodded slightly to respond, and then hummed a small song on his own, obviously too lazy to pay attention to Chen Yu.
Chen Yu shrugged awkwardly, and roughly knew the other party's temper. He probably was a stubborn old man with a twisted temper.
But it is really not easy for this old man to dare to hang the sign of "Sanhe Liu Hulu".
Hoist utensil, also known as a utensil.
The word "páo" in the uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
The utensil can be understood as a deep processing of a gourd, and the application of carving art to the gourd makes it ornamental and practical, and its value greatly increases.
Cultivating cicadas and other crickets in the gourd started from the Ming Dynasty's nest.
This old man has been well-read in poetry and books since he was a child and passed the imperial examination in the ninth year of Chongzhen.
After the fall of the Ming Dynasty, I retired to the mountains and forests to plant gourds. When the gourd was small, I used some exquisite molds to combine the gourds. When the gourds grew up, they became another shape, just like the square watermelon today.
After picking the gourds on the vine and then making them carefully, various primitive tools were found, which later generations also respectfully called Chao Duanming "典".
In the Qing Dynasty, fighting crickets and cucumbers became popular, and later it gradually developed into a way of leisure and entertainment that both rich and poor, old and young. The gourd tools were also classified as antiques and miscellaneous items.
There is a point here, that is, the gourds that raise sing insects are just one type of gourd vessel, and not all gourd vessels are used to raise sing insects.
As the production process of gourds became more and more sophisticated, the process of gourds developed to its peak during the Kangxi period. Not only were there various gourds, but there were also cages, jars, pen holders, flower inserts, cups, bowls, etc.
During the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty, an extraordinary person appeared in Sanhe, near the capital, named Liu Xianting.
The gourds he planted were different from those of others. The gourds themselves were looser, but their skin was extremely strong. In jargon, they were bran tires and porcelain skins, which could be said to be a natural good material for making gourds.
In addition to its beautiful appearance, the Sanhe Liu's gourd has amazing skills in handling the inner flesh. After entering the gourd made by Sanhe Liu, the guake is like living in a big villa. It is extremely cheerful and bright, and its combat effectiveness during the battle is even more amazing, and it often becomes the final winner.
The lifespan of cicadas and crickets is extremely short, ranging from three to five months to seven to eight months. It is said that the gourds of Sanhe Liu can allow these cicadas to survive the winter safely without reducing their combat effectiveness.
Of course, it is impossible to know whether this is true or not, because Sanhe Liu’s old gourd is hard to see on the market.
It can be said that Sanhe Liu's cucumber gourd is a rare treasure in the eyes of those who like to fight cucumbers.
It is only because of the variety and planting technology that the yield of Sanhe Liu Chuang is very low. There are only hundreds of finished gourds every year, and only two or three hundred are missing.
The making of gourds does not mean that you can make one, but also that there are losses caused by various reasons. It is said that Sanhe Liu's finished grasshopper gourds are only dozens of them every year.
There are hundreds of them a year.
In this way, the Sanhe Liu's gourd was not enough for those buyers' needs, so in the Qing Dynasty, the Sanhe Liu's gourd was surprisingly expensive, often costing hundreds of taels of silver each.
Now that the old man has a Sanhe Liu signboard, Chen Yu is really surprised. If it were Sanhe Liu Hulu, he should have been sold out long ago?
At this time, Gu Qingqing had already calculated the money of the bracelet, because the price was quite appropriate, and Chen Yu had not bargained. It was not easy for an elderly man to do business in this hot day, so there was no need to bargain for a few dozen yuan.
"Old man, how much does this gourd cost?"
Gu Qingqing pointed to a gourd instrument with a thick patina and a bright color in her hand and asked the old man.
Judging from her love, she likes the gourd in her hands from the bottom of her heart.
The old man stretched out a slap and flipped it twice: "Our gourd is not expensive, one thousand five per thousand."
***The author has something to say***
Guess what treasure is hidden inside the wine pot?
