The popularity of the treasure hunting program has added many different colors to everyone's daily life. In the process of watching the show, the audience can not only learn some cultural relics knowledge, but also see a lot of interesting stories.
For cultural relics collectors, the popularity of the treasure hunting program is also a particularly gratifying thing. Although these cultural relics collectors especially like treasures and like to spend money on collection, they do not have professional knowledge, can not make a correct judgment on the authenticity of cultural relics, and need to find experts to identify.
Ordinary cultural relics collectors, because of their limited contacts, it is difficult to find authoritative experts in the field of cultural relics. The emergence of the treasure show has helped them effectively solve this problem, and every time the program team selects candidates, many treasure holders will enthusiastically sign up.
It is generally believed that the experts invited by the program group should be very experienced cultural relics practitioners, and their words and deeds will be recorded, and then made public, which should give a correct and reliable result, otherwise it will be self-smashing signboards.
In a treasure hunting program, a treasure bearer brought a century-old stone he had picked up from the mountains.
Because it was relatively heavy, when this treasure bearer came to the treasure for identification, he found 4 big men to help.
They carried the stone together to identify the treasure, and after taking the stage, the treasure bearer, as the owner of the treasure, explained to the crowd that he felt that this stone should be a treasure from the Tang Dynasty. However, the conclusions given by experts are particularly surprising.
The treasure holder is a collector who is particularly fond of strange stones, and every time he encounters a relatively special stone, he will pay great attention to it. If the price is right, it will be bought for money and stored at home.
Once, he went to the mountains because of his activities, and accidentally found this special shape of the stone. He thought the stone was valuable and managed to get it.
Although the treasure holder has always been convinced that this stone is a treasure of great value, he also feels that it is a treasure of the Tang Dynasty. However, the treasure holder is not a professional cultural relics identification practitioner, and there is no way to truly determine the value of this stone.
The people around me have always been skeptical about the value of this stone. The treasure bearer knows that if he continues like this, he himself will be shaken, and in order to avoid the long night and dispel his doubts as soon as possible, he decided to take this stone to participate in the treasure show.
The only goal of the treasure holder to participate in the program is to hope that experienced experts will help themselves judge the specific origin and true value of this stone on the spot.
After the audience saw this big guy, they were also quite surprised, and they didn't know where it came from?
According to the process of the program group, the treasure holder simply said the specific origin of the stone, in the process of telling, the treasure holder particularly emphasized that this stone is almost 200 pounds, it has a lot of exquisite lines, it feels very smooth, giving people a particularly comfortable feeling.
After briefly recounting the origin of the stone, the treasure holder threw the question to the expert, who asked him to analyze and identify the specific situation of the treasure according to the standards of a professional.
The expert did not shirk, took a closer look at the stone, and explained to the audience that similar shapes of stones generally had two uses in ancient times.
The first type is the infrastructure of fixed houses, which in ancient times was generally called pillar foundation. In the feudal period when science and technology were relatively backward, the houses where everyone lived were generally bungalows, and it was easy to have water when it rained, and there needed to be something under the pillar to support it to ensure safety.
The second is the base of the Buddha statue, which can not only show the majesty of the Buddha statue, but also improve the beauty of the Buddha statue. The more exquisite and valuable the Buddha statue, the more it needs a high-quality base as a support and foil.
After a simple explanation, the experts conducted a more in-depth analysis of the strange stone. Experts told everyone that the stone brought by the treasure holder should be the base of a Buddha statue.
Below it is a hexaprism carved with animals such as lions, unicorns and horses, and above the hexagram, there are some "lotus petals". These things have a distinctly Buddhist style, but this stone should not be something from the Tang Dynasty.
I believe many people know that the Tang Dynasty was a very powerful dynasty, and Buddhist culture was also greatly spread during this period.
During the Tang Dynasty, most of the princes and nobles believed in Buddhism and often went to temples to worship. According to historical records, after The return of Master Xuanzang, Buddhism gained a stronger influence in the land of China.
In the process of continuous development, many things closely related to Buddhist culture have been born. Among them, some things have been severely damaged by the continuous fighting, and some things have been relatively well preserved because they have been properly preserved.
The Buddha statues in the Tang Dynasty have very distinctive characteristics, especially the lion at the bottom of the Buddha statue, which generally holds two paws, looking like a student who listens carefully to the lesson.
The metaphor surprised the audience, and in order to avoid confusion, the expert patiently explained that these lions not only looked like they were listening to the lecture, but in fact they were actually listening to the lecture.
However, they did not listen to ordinary cultural knowledge, but to the scriptures spoken by the gods and Buddhas of the heavens. Their images, which are specific symbols of listening to the Protector of the Scriptures, have extraordinary significance.
However, the stone brought by the treasure bearer did not have a lion in this image, and the two lions on it were like rolling hydrangeas. They are relative from end to end, and there is already a clear folklore, so the birth age of this stone will be relatively late, and it should not be something from the Tang Dynasty.
In the process of identification, the experts also found the drop of the stone through careful observation, which read "September of the Year of the First Meridian". From the perspective of time nodes and shapes, it should be something in the middle and late Qing Dynasty.
In general, although the strange stone brought by the treasure holder is also a thing of the wind and rain, it is not a treasure of the Tang Dynasty, and its market value is much lower than the treasure holder's estimate. If you really like the Strange Stone Collection, it is a very good treasure. If you want to get a higher return through it, you may be disappointed.
Judging from the results, although the appraisal results of the treasure holder have a large gap with his expectations, his appraisal goal has been achieved.
At least, he knew the specific origin of this strange stone, and he didn't have to be as confused as before, which was also the value of the cultural relics appraisal program.
Like the ordinary cultural relics market, the odd stone market is a mixture of fish and dragons, and if there is no professional knowledge, it is easy to be deceived. Therefore, experts have advised everyone more than once that we must be careful and cautious, and do not blindly buy things because of a momentary impulse, otherwise it is likely to lose money.
