"Treasure Hunting Life" will chase good articles in the near future, and the more you look at it, the more you will get on it

"That's it! Once back to before liberation, five years of hard work were wasted! ”

Chu Chen's face was like ashes, and a wave of chagrin instantly surged into his heart.

Five years ago, Chu Chen, who graduated from a sixteen-year-old junior high school, came to Beijing with two thousand yuan to work hard, and with his own learning, shrewd and studious mind, careful and cautious personality, he learned from the antique birds and predecessors little by little, from a young mountain village teenager to an antique vendor with a small eye for Panjiayuan.

The energy and sweat spent during this period is really not enough for outsiders.

The water in this line of antiques is too deep, and there are many "mines", during this period, Chu Chen does not know how many losses he has suffered, how many times he has hit his eyes, but this is also normal, mixed in this line, do not hit the eyes a few times, where can he grow?

Fortunately, Chu Chen was cautious, people were not greedy, and what he lost was some small wealth. And during this period, his eyesight grew, and his luck was good, he picked up several big leaks for him, and after five years, in addition to his living needs, there were still four hundred thousand in the bank.

It's just that these four hundred thousand hard-earned money, just because of this eye-punching experience now, will be wiped out in an instant!

Now in 2001, the house price in the Chaoyang* district of Beijing was only a little more than 4,000, and these money Chuchen originally planned to buy a two-bedroom apartment not far from Pan Jiayuan, after all, he was in the antique business, and it was always more or less inconvenient to rent a place.

Moreover, five years of beijing career, he also has a certain affection for the city, not to mention that he is alone, and he can settle down in the capital to live the life of his wife and children, which is also the most urgent wish in his heart. Now, with his practice of the stall, I don't know when I will be able to realize this wish.

In April 2000, a pair of rare Tang Sancai pottery horses collected by a rich man in Hong Kong was purchased by a Jewish businessman for more than $1.5 million at sotheby's New York auction.

It was this news that caught Chu Chen's attention, which made him start to pay attention to and obsess over Tang Sancai.

Tang Sancai is a kind of pottery that prevailed in the Tang Dynasty, it is the general name of the Tang Dynasty low-temperature color glaze pottery, on the same utensils, with yellow, green, white or yellow, green, blue, ochre, black and other basic glaze colors at the same time interlaced, forming a brilliant and colorful artistic effect, generally three colors more, later people habitually called this type of pottery "Tang Sancai".

Tang Sancai's vivid and vivid shape, bright color and full of life atmosphere, together with the brilliant silk, beautiful and dazzling murals, glittering gold and silverware, and the open society, together painted a brilliant picture of Datang culture.

Tang Sancai not only had very high achievements in art, but also made great contributions to future generations in ceramic craftsmanship. Its brilliant decorative techniques broke the situation of monochrome glaze dominating the world, and developed from monochrome glaze to three-color glaze, laying the foundation for the birth of colored porcelain in later generations.

After the Song Dynasty, a variety of low-temperature color glazes and glazed colored porcelain, most of which were developed from the basis of Tang Sancai.

It is precisely because Tang Sancai has a high artistic level, a unique status, and it has been exported overseas from the beginning, and it is loved by the people of the dark foreign country. Since it was rediscovered at the beginning of the twentieth century, it has attracted much attention, especially in the past two decades, with the opening of domestic and international markets, more and more people like to collect Tang Sancai.

Tang Sancai is used for burial, as a meditative vessel, because its tire quality is brittle, poor waterproof performance, so it is not easy to preserve so far, and foreigners are very fond of Tang Sancai's style, making it repeatedly high prices at auctions.

For example, on December 12, 1989, Sotheby's International auction house sold a Tang Sancai dark horse for 3.74 million pounds in London, England. And tens of thousands of dollars to hundreds of thousands of dollars of transaction prices also abound, greatly igniting the collectors' enthusiasm for collection.

Ever since he had learned something about Tang Sancai, Chu Chen seemed to have a magic scare, always fantasizing that he could get a beautiful Tang Sancai, not to mention looking at his eyes, but also bringing him huge economic value.

Marx once said: "If there is twenty percent profit, capital will be foolish; if there is fifty percent profit, capital will take risks; if there is one hundred percent profit, capital will dare to risk hanging its head; if there is three hundred percent profit, capital will dare to trample on all the laws of the world." ”

Since the 1990s, the reform and opening up has achieved many results, people's living standards have been improving day by day, so the related entertainment and cultural industries have also flourished. There is a way is the chaos of gold, the world of antiques, into the collection of this line of people is Cheng geometric rise.

Correspondingly, some lawbreakers have set their sights on this treasure land, it is really a cow, ghost, snake god, everything, many masters of old forgery are full of it, since Tang Sancai is so precious, it will certainly be difficult to escape their greedy hands.

Because Tang Sancai is a low-temperature ceramic, its production process is not complicated, the production raw materials can be seen everywhere, the tire glaze formula has long been made public, and the imitation masters have emerged, and some are experts in Tang Sancai's research.

It can be said that some high-imitation works, of which ninety-nine percent and the real thing in general, are completely fake and real, only one percent of the more special characteristics, because it is naturally formed for thousands of years, so it can not be imitated.

It is this one percent, some masters of counterfeit works, if not particularly experienced senior masters, may not be able to see it.

Fortunately, Chu Chen was always cautious, and the experience gained from his five-year hawker career was also exceptionally rich, and although there were many high-imitation mines during the period, he was still careful to pass. Despite this, the dream in his heart to have a fine Tang Sancai did not fade, on the contrary, it became more intense.

Three days ago, a chance for Chu Chen to buy a fine Tang Sancai camel at the price of picking up leaks came to him.

Xiang Lao, a professor in the history department of Jingcheng University, has been dealing with historical relics for many years, so he especially loves antiques. After retirement, I often come to the antique street to change various items, is a long-term customer of the antique street, basically as long as it is not windy and rainy, I will go to the antique street every day to tour, in his words, antiques is my second spring.

Because of his years of dealing with historical relics and solid learning, although Xiang Lao has also looked at it, there is no shortage of fine products in the collection of the family, including a beautiful Tang Sancai camel.

This business has been maintained by Chu Chen for five years, which is why he was able to gain a foothold in Panjiayuan Antique Street at a young age. Xiang Lao was a regular customer of his stall, and he had also picked up leaks here a few times, and the two of them knew each other as soon as they came and went, which was considered to be a year-old friend.

Therefore, Chu Chen was fortunate to have also seen the Tang Sancai camel. It was a Bactrian camel, with a brown glaze throughout, with green, white, and yellow colors, and different shades.

Luo's head leaned up slightly, his front feet were creeping, his back feet were standing, his mouth was wide open, as if he was calling out something, and his expression was particularly rich. Between its two peaks is a pack sac, and on both sides of the sac are silk, water bottles and other items.

This Tang Sancai camel, glazed bread pulp natural, the opening piece is fine and uniform, and there is also a phenomenon of returning lead, and some of the genuine Tang Sancai generally have some brown, black and other impurities penetrating into the glaze, although the hind feet have some small residues, but looking at its overall performance, it can be said that it is a fine work in Tang Sancai.

When Chu Chen first saw it, he looked at it, and when he saw it, there was only this camel in his eyes, which could be described as loveless. Immediately, he asked Xiang Lao if he could give it to him, but Xiang Lao shook his head and said that he would not say anything, and then told him the reason.

This camel was seen in an antique shop when Xiang Lao went to Xi'an last year, and when he saw it, he was also as fond of Chu Chen as he was, so he was able to say that he had evenly obtained it from the treasurer for 420,000 yuan.

Only after returning home, he always felt that there was a little less charm when he played with this camel, which made him feel shocked, and he immediately invited several authorities in the circle to palm his eyes, only two of them were not sure about this Tang Sancai, but these two were the predecessors of the most influential antique industry, they were Liu Lao and Qian Lao.

Liu Lao, real name Liu Zhihe, 82 years old, born in an antique collection family, knowledgeable, began to identify cultural relics for the country in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, once served as a senior official of the Ministry of Culture, antique identification experience is very rich, is the antique collection industry of Taishan Beidou.

Qian Lao, whose real name is Qian Zhiyan, is 71 years old, the president of the BJ Collectors Association, who has worked in the National Museum for a long time, is an expert consultant of the Palace Museum, and is also influential in the direction of antique collection.

Although these two senior figures in the antique world did not conclude that this Tang Sancai was a fake, they were not sure that it was genuine, and their reason was also that this Tang Sancai camel lacked a trace of charm, but it was not clear what was wrong.

Xiang Lao usually also used to hide and hide, but he had a temper, if his collection was not right, even if he smashed it, he would not communicate it to others, and now that he had doubts about this Tang Sancai, it would definitely not be sold again, so he did not agree to Chu Chen's request.

Chu Chen was very touched to hear this, Since ancient times, Huaxia has always regarded Tong Shu as a person's moral standard of innocence and honesty and reliability, and with the reform and opening up in recent years, although people's economic level has improved, but the moral level has not kept up with the economic improvement, but has declined somewhat.

Like this Tang Sancai, the current collectors, especially some new collectors, many of them will not be as concerned as the old, as long as the interests can satisfy themselves, no matter whether the things are good or bad, someone can take over, this situation actually to a certain extent also promotes the arrogance of counterfeiters.

Just like Chu Chen now, he still thinks that this Tang Sancai must be genuine in his heart, didn't see Elder Liu and Elder Qian not say where there was a problem, as for the feeling, how can it be accurate?

This is not that Chu Chen does not respect his predecessors, in fact, this is the normal psychology of a young man of about twenty years old, and he thinks that in these years of hawker career, his eyesight is not bad, and he has not suffered any major losses in these years, so he has some arrogance in his heart.

People are sometimes like this, once they like a thing, they will like it, often in their eyes are the advantages of this thing, and now Chu Chen is like this, he has always been obsessed with that Tang Sancai camel, and he dreams of having it.

Now the opportunity came, Xiang Lao's only son studied in England, and then settled there, and married and had children, after which his son always wanted to take him to live in England, but Xiang Lao never agreed. The other day his son spoke again, and if he didn't come again, he would break off the father-son relationship, so that he would not be able to agree to the old man.

However, the older generation of figures generally care about the country, so he plans to dispose of his many years of collection in The country, and there is a condition that his collection is not allowed to sell to foreigners.

When Chu Chen heard this news, he was really excited, and thought that he could give me that Tang Sancai evenly. So he sharpened the hard bubble against Xiang Lao, and under Xiang Lao's repeated persuasion, he still did not dispel his thoughts, and finally had to give him this Tang Sancai at a purchase price of 420,000 yuan.

Since getting this Tang Sancai camel, the practice stall has no mind, from the camel to the hand to the present more than fifty hours, Chu Chen in addition to eating and sleeping, the rest of the time is playing to appreciate this Tang Sancai, and finally using a magnifying glass to watch the whole body of the camel little by little. Just this look, but there is a big problem.

So there was that picture. (New book releases, favorites and recommendations!) Please, book friends! ）
