"Boss Wang, I'm really interested in your painting. I don't know how much your painting "Portrait of the King of Tota" wants to sell?"

Seeing that Wang Yuqian had been thinking deeply, Chen Yu directly asked the price straight to the point.

"oh!"

Wang Yuqian came to his senses, he picked up the cup and took a sip, and then said to Chen Yu with a smile: "Expert Chen, don't be anxious about the negotiation. I also said that this painting will be sold to you 100%. Now I have a reluctant request..."

Chen Yu: "What's the matter?"

Wang Yuqian: "I have two things here that I want you to give to you. Don't worry, you won't let you see it in vain. You can reduce it at the later price."

Chen Yu said in his heart that the old fox was scattered.

Sell ​​it to me, what should I buy if you want 100 million?

Besides, the price of the painting has not been negotiated, and there is not even a shadow. What money can you give me?

But the big leak was right in front of him, Chen Yu knew that he had to keep calm.

As long as the big leak can be obtained, it doesn't matter if the other party takes advantage of it.

It is a duty to appraise treasure.

After drinking a sip of tea, Chen Yu smiled warmly, "No problem, Boss Wang, whatever object you want me to see, just take it out. As long as you are within my identification ability, you will know everything."

Wang Yuqian was very happy when he achieved his goal.

The identification of antiques seems simple, but the water inside is very deep.

Wang Yuqian really can't believe it if he is not a top appraiser.

Wang Yuqian naturally trusted Chen Yu.

Whether it is on treasure appraisal programs, "Lantingju"'s reputation, or the reputation of Shenshuolou, they are all impeccable.

Otherwise, he would not have invited Chen Yu.

First, he pulled an ordinary dining table to the red rosewood round table, and then Wang Yuqian took out a round bronze ware that was shining and ancient and heavy from the wooden box.

"Expert Shen, I'll have to worry about this item."

After saying that, Wang Yuqian put the bronze ware solemnly in front of Chen Yu.

"What is this, a copper plate?" Li Tietou asked strangely.

Yu Maolin glanced at it and waved his hand and said, "It's not a copper plate, but a bronze mirror."

Wang Yuqian followed and said with a smile: "Yes, it's a bronze mirror. The bronze mirror is a mirror used by the ancients. Mirrors made of glass began to appear in the Qing Dynasty. Before this, mirrors were made of copper."

Yu Maolin shook his head, "You can't say that. The mirror before Qin was called Jian, which means a big basin. "Shuowen" says: "Jiang can draw water from the bright moon, and because he sees it can shine on the road, he is used as a mirror.

"But the water mirror can only look down at the image, but cannot look up. So in the Bronze Age, because the copper surface can reflect light, people directly use the copper surface to reflect themselves, thus creating a bronze mirror.

"There is a picture in the original masterpiece of "The Admonitions of the Female Historian" by the master painting master Gu Kaizhi. A man sitting on the left, facing a mirror platform, and a woman behind him combing his hair with a comb. This is the earliest bronze mirror painting."

Wang Yuqian suddenly realized, "It turns out that in ancient times, I used a basin to illuminate myself. I really don't know this. Oh, I don't know Mount Tai. It turns out that Boss Yu, you are also an expert in bronze ware identification."

Yu Maolin's face did not change his color, and he looked like an expert. "Bronze mirrors are very exquisite works of art, so I have some research on bronze mirrors.

People all say that a piece of exquisite shape, bright colors, and bright glaze or a piece of ancient jade with a thick patina can give people a sense of heavy art and history.

But a good bronze mirror is also OK, and it is by no means inferior to porcelain and jade.

Porcelain has theories of overglaze and underglaze colors, which are further divided into blue and white, five-color, Doucai, pastel, etc., while bronze mirrors include the Sun and Moon mirror, the Twelve Birthday Mirror, the Shangfang Imperial Mirror, the Divine Beast Mirror, the Evil Mirror, the Immortal Mirror, the Divine Man Mirror, the Yiguan Mirror, the Panlong Mirror, the Double Dragon Mirror, the Double Phoenix Mirror, the Dragon Pattern Mirror, the Bagua Mirror, etc.

The variety of shapes and patterns is simply insignificant.

The craftsmanship of ancient mirror-making masters was even more amazing. The size of a small bronze mirror can even be as big as a glasses, either tied with a rope around the waist or carried with you in your arms, which is extremely exquisite.

Among the many bronze mirrors, there is one of the most peculiar mirrors, which are the translucent mirrors.

"Mengxi Bitan" says: There is a light-transmitting view in the world, and there are inscriptions on the back. There are twenty characters, and the characters are extremely ancient, and they cannot be read. According to the sunlight, they all penetrate the walls of the house.

The translucent mirror appeared in the Han Dynasty. The front is slightly raised and the light shines on people. When the light shines on the mirror, the wall opposite the mirror will reflect the images of patterns and inscriptions on the back of the mirror, so the ancients called it "illusion mirror".

Wang Yuqian was so sensible that Li Tietou laughed out loud.

"I said Lao Yu, just talk about it. Where can I find such a mirror? It's good to find a bronze mirror. It's also translucent and a illusion mirror? I don't believe it."

Faced with Li Tietou's sarcasm, Yu Maolin was not angry at all, "Brother Tietou, I will tell you a legendary story of "The Ancient Mirror" to you.

According to legend, there was a scholar named Wang Du in the Sui Dynasty. He obtained an ancient mirror from his teacher and one of the world's most singular scholars.

This mirror is about eight inches wide, making it look like a kirin crouching.

There are also turtles, dragons, phoenixes and tigers, and they are in accordance with the direction of the cloth.

Set the Bagua, place the twelve Chen positions, and place the twenty-four characters in addition to it, surround the outline, the style is like Li, and the dots and strokes are all missing.

When the sun shines on it, the painting will be filled with ink and will be completely damaged.

If you raise it and pin it, the clear sound will be sequentially, and the sun will be gone.

I took this mirror to shine brightly in the room late at night, just like during the day.

This mirror is a translucent mirror.

It is also a spiritual treasure mirror that can ward off evil spirits and suppress demons.

With this mirror, Wang Du first spotted a thousand-year-old fox at his friend Cheng Xiong's house.

Then, a demon snake with purple scales and red tail, green head and white horns, and a character named Wang on its forehead was removed.

Later, his brother Wang Ji went out to travel in the mountains and rivers, borrowing the ancient mirror to carry it with him, so that the ancient mirror would show his power again.

As soon as you go out, you can get rid of one head that is more than meter long, thicker than your arms, red head, white forehead, no scales and saliva, snake-shaped dragon horns, pointed mouth, sturgeon-like sturgeon, moving and shiny shark monster.

Later, Wang Ji had a friend who had a female family member at home who fell ill.

Every night, I would shout loudly.

Wang Ji took out the treasure mirror and looked at it. It turned out that there was a dead rooster under the sick bed.

As we move forward, Wang Ji is simply a big killer.

There are giant birds and giant bears blocking the road in the wilderness. They wield them with mirrors, and the bears and birds run away.

When he encountered a tide and went out to sea, he encountered a turtle monster and was making waves. Wang Ji took out an ancient mirror and looked at it. The rivers on all sides opened together, and the turtle was so scared that he quickly dispersed.

When I visited Jiangnan, I arrived at the Yangtze River in Guangling, suddenly the sky and the earth were covered with dark clouds and water, and the black storms were surging. The boats and boats could be overturned at any time. Wang Ji took out the ancient mirror and looked at it. The wind and clouds immediately gathered and the waves subsided.

I went to a friend's house again. A strange thing happened to this family. A female family member would smirk at night, making her sleeping stupidly and not responding.

And he cannot eat and lose weight day by day.

If you get crazy, you will hang yourself and jump into the well.

Wang Ji pulled out the window and looked at it with a mirror. He saw a monster wearing hairless teeth, a corpse wearing scales and armor, and the female family recovered from then on.

After that, Wang Ji traveled around the mountains and rivers, either lived in the long forest or sleopards in the open grass. Even if there were tigers and leopards in the mountains, and jackals and wolves were struck, as long as they looked at it with a mirror, these beasts immediately turned around and ran away.

He was safe all the way, and finally Wang Ji returned to Chang'an and returned the ancient mirror to his brother Wang Du.

Wang Du locked the ancient mirror in a wooden box.

In the thirteenth year of Daye, the ancient mirror made a sound like a dragon roaring in the box. Wang Du opened the wooden box again, and the ancient mirror had disappeared.

Zhou Mi's "Records of Clouds and Smoke Passing Eyes" in the Song Dynasty, Ma Jiuchou of the Jin Dynasty, Fu Boyu Transmissive Mirrors, Lang Ying of the Ming Dynasty, and Zheng Fuguang of the Qing Dynasty, have records of transmissive Mirrors.

Li Tietou was so surprised that he couldn't stop talking: "So magical?"

Yu Maolin was proud, "Of course, Brother Yu, I have been reading a lot of books since I was a child and have the ability to remember everything I have seen, can I still deceive you?"

Yu Maolin's cowhide was so loud that it was blowing.

Shen Yu did not say a word and focused on appraising Wang Yuqian's bronze mirror.

This mirror is round and looks like a nine-inch porcelain plate.

The copper is extremely delicate, the casting is fine, the composition is perfect, and the patterns are clear.

There is a quaint atmosphere all over the body.

There is not much copper rust, so it can be said that it has excellent preservation.
