The young Taoist priest, who took his ancestors to the pearls, claimed to be worth tens of millions of dollars, but experts identified them and said they were fakes.
Xiao Daoist smiled angrily and said, "Do you know who I am?" ”
Hearing this, the expert changed his mind on the spot, saying that the beads he brought were real.
So, what is the identity of this little Daoist?
Did he really bring tens of millions of dollars to Chaozhu?
Buddha beads or pilgrim beads?
In the past few years, the treasure hunting program has swept the country, and even many foreign friends like to watch it. Now, with the acceleration of economic development, people's living standards are getting higher and higher, and many people want to own their own houses, so there are some programs that specialize in identifying the value of real estate. In these TV shows. These exhibitions have also inspired the idea of "getting rich quick", bringing many people into the world of collecting and treasure hunting, which has made many collectors want to try their luck or simply show off their precious collections.
The audience not only saw countless rare treasures, but also saw the same number of counterfeit and shoddy products, and learned more about all walks of life in China, which is not only the collection brought by Baoyou, but also the industry of "Baoyou".
In one of the connoisseur's performances, the atmosphere was so suppressed by a series of fakes that everyone more or less lost interest in watching the connoisseur until the next treasure friend took the stage.
The Treasure Friend looked special, he was still young, but he had a beard on his lips and chin. His skin is also healthy, without any wrinkles, and he has a pair of dark and translucent eyes. It's all incredible. His name is Li Pengfei and he is 21 years old. Worked for a company in Beijing. What's even more bizarre is that this lad's long hair looks longer than that of a beautiful hostess.
His hair was neatly combed, and a bun was placed on the top of his head, ending in a special bun, and his wide-sleeved robe immediately made people suspect that he was a Taoist.
He also raised his hands, saluted the audience and experts, and walked to the center of the stage.
The young priest was very "elegant" and had a wonderful temperament both in terms of appearance and the way he walked. At the 28th China Beijing International Cultural and Creative Industry Expo, he will bring his latest series of animation works "Haunting the Heavenly Palace" to the scene and share his happy mood with everyone. This is a rare opportunity! Now, the audience is once again excited, full of anticipation for his performance.
At the same time, the already sharp-eyed onlooker noticed that something was wrong with the janitor. He wore a black robe, his hair neatly combed, and a pair of glasses on his face. His gaze seemed to reveal a kind of majesty and mystery, which made people feel like they were practicing. He was apparently dressed as a Taoist priest with a string of "Buddha beads" hanging around his neck, making him look like a non-Taoist and non-Buddha.
It is difficult to say that this string of "Buddha beads" that do not conform to him is a treasure that the Dao Commander wants to appreciate today?
Unsurprisingly, the priest walked to the center of the stage, and after greeting the host, took the "Buddha bead" from his neck and showed it to everyone.
It wasn't until the "Buddha Beads" appeared on a large high-definition screen that the audience realized that this string of beads was also very special, not like the beads of the temple monks in everyone's memory, but more like the beads worn by the emperor and ministers in the Qing Palace drama.
The young governor first introduced himself, saying that his surname was Zhang and that he was from Jingmen, Hubei Province. Later, I saw Zhang Daoyi's information on the Internet and learned that he was the protagonist we were going to interview today, Mr. Zhang Daoming. "My name is Zhang Changshun, and I am from Shihu Town, Dongbao District, Jingmen City, Hubei Province. The master politely called him Zhang Daochang, but Xiao Zhang shyly replied that he had not taken a formal conversion, nor was he really converted, but he had always loved Taoist culture and always dressed like this when he went out.
Because from the tone of his voice, it seemed that the future was ready for formal appointment, and the host still insisted that he was the governor and asked him what collection he was going to identify today.
Xiao Zhang said: "I brought a string of chao beads today, and I think it is worth at least tens of millions." ”
Worth tens of millions?
Young Taoist adherents carry heirlooms to the jewels, claiming to be worth tens of millions of dollars. He said, "I have a secret recipe called 'Golden Pill', if you want to buy it, please hand over the money!" The scene burst into laughter. The young Taoist priest said: Isn't this true? As soon as he said this, it caused an uproar, and everyone was a little confused as to why he was so confident in paying such a high price.
The host did not rush to verify, but first let the Taoist tell the story of the collection.
Xiao Zhang replied that it was the chaozhu left for him by his grandfather.
A few years ago, his grandfather was very ill and his days were running out. On this day, Xiao Zhang and a few friends were playing in the yard. Suddenly, a loud noise broke through the night sky. Everyone was stunned, only to hear a "click", and a person fell to the ground. Xiao Zhang quickly ran to his side. Xiao Zhang and grandpa have a good relationship since childhood, during this time, Zhang Daochang put everything on the agenda, day and night at his grandfather's bedside to take care of him.
Grandpa was too sick to speak, but he kept pulling him closer and handing him the beads beside him. Grandpa said, "This is my baby!" He took a look at it, and there was a pearl-like bead in it. "It looks great!" Grandpa said happily. Xiao Zhang had seen this bead before and knew that it was Grandpa's most precious possession. Now, before he died, Grandpa had given him the treasure.
Grandpa was already inarticulate, still muttering over and over again, telling Mr. Zhang to obey.
Xiao Zhang agreed, but it was not clear what was so special about the beads. He gave me a pearl that he had treasured for many years. That day, he put the bead on the table and said, "I want you to see if this string of beads is real?" I smiled and nodded. He didn't know that it was a string of beads, only that Grandpa asked someone to open the "Buddha bead" and keep it well, and occasionally he would carefully wipe off the "Buddha bead" so that it was not gray at all.
Soon after the incident, Xiao Zhang formed an indissoluble relationship with Taoism and made some very learned friends. One day, a self-proclaimed "one of the Eight Immortals" Zhang Guolao came to their house with several people. In front of the host, these friends all seemed very excited and curious. Once, he invited his friend to his house and showed him the "Buddha Beads," only to be taken aback and asked him where he came from.
Xiao Zhang learned from his friends that this was not a "Buddha bead", but a dynasty bead, which was an ornament worn by the qing dynasty ministers and ministers.
After learning this news, Xiao Zhang consciously or unconsciously began to understand the situation of Chaozhu. By chance, he found a surprising piece of news: there was a column called "Treasure Hunting" in the prime time broadcast of CCTV! This column is sponsored by the National Center for The Identification of Cultural Relics. At that time, the treasure show was very popular all over the country, and you could turn on the TV and listen to it on several channels to see the treasure show.
Xiao Zhang saw a cherished friend come with a string of chao beads in a treasure hunting show. After carefully inspecting the beads, he found that these beads were not ordinary beads, but a precious and rare gem. This surprised Xiao Zhang, because he had never heard of this gemstone before. The beads used in ChaoZhu are different from those used by Xiao Zhang, but the pattern is very similar, and Xiao Zhang watched the performance attentively, not knowing what the experts said.
That treasure friend was from Zibo, Shandong, and the Chaozhu who brought the treasure was not his, it was his friend's. It was a beautiful morning, and Baoyou and his friends came to the Zibo City Museum and saw a precious oriental bead ornament in the exhibition hall on the second floor. This string of pearls is a sentimental and good collection, cultivates a good appreciation ability, helps friends to appreciate the beads for the first time, believes that this string of pearls is an extremely precious oriental pearl, valuable, and then represents friends to appreciate this string of pearls.
According to expert identification, the man's necklace is Heilongjiang 108 freshwater pearls, all of which are true pearls, worth 30 million yuan, which means that the pearl is worth nearly 300,000 yuan.
Seeing this, Xiao Zhang's heart was shocked, and he immediately thought of His grandfather's Chaozhu. Grandpa was a man with a story, and after his death, his daughter did not find a suitable heir. And among these chao zhu that he left us, there is even one of them is dong zhu! Is it true? His Chaozhu was not made by Dongzhu and may not sell for thirty million, but there is a hope of tens of millions, right?
With such hopes, Xiao Zhang decided to go to see this drama.
But what Zhang Yimou did not expect was that when subsequent experts evaluated him, he got a difficult answer publicly: "Your string of chao beads is a fake." ”
True or fake?
The young Taoist priest took his ancestral beads and claimed to be worth tens of millions of dollars, but the expert coldly replied, "Your beads are fakes, right?" ”
This result made Zhang Yimou very embarrassed, he asked experts to study it carefully, and the audience said "no" in a row.
However, the tone of the experts is very affirmative, thinking that this string of chaozhu has many doubts, it seems that Xiao Zhang has been determined to be a fake to judge this batch of treasures, and boasted that it is worth at least tens of millions of dollars, which is simply sensationalism.
This made Xiao Zhang very angry, and he felt that the expert not only denied the value of the asabi beads given to him by his grandfather, but also doubted his personality. So he questioned the experts: "Can you tell me how this thing was discovered and exploited?" The expert replied, "Of course I can." "So why do you want to do that?" "Do you know who I am?" I am a disciple of Dragon Tiger Mountain, and I am going to take refuge. How can I do that? He said seriously to the experts.
Xiao Zhang's attitude embarrassed the expert, so he had to ask for a re-evaluation. Finally, the expert took out a small bottle containing a few beads and some beads. "How did this thing come about?" The expert asked. "I bought it on the market and now I want to do an appraisal. As a result, this time, the expert looked at it and suddenly asked a small question: "Are your chao beads re-stringed?" ”
Xiao Zhang was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, he nodded his head and said that Grandpa had repaired the beads in his early years. That morning, I went to his house with Xiao Zhang. After walking around the yard, we found many beads scattered on the ground, so we picked them up and put them in a basket. Later, we picked up some more. But this restoration only changed the beads, and the 108 beads and other jade pendants used for the back cloud and the Buddha's head did not move, or even in order.
But after listening to Xiao Zhang's words, the expert showed a painful expression and sighed: "What a pity." ”
It turned out that experts just now thought that the beads were fakes, because the beads were modern products, and the age of the beads and the back cloud and the Buddha's head jade pendant was not the same. Now the beads are not like this, they all have a common feature, that is, the line is very thin, and there is a layer of white wax on the surface. This makes one wonder if this is true. How could it be? However, experts also explain that although the beads are not the same as the jade pendant, the 108 beeswax beads on the top are genuine.
The Qing Dynasty, the most unique dynasty in ancient China, wore the imperial beads in addition to the official position corresponding to the imperial dress. In the official system of the Qing Dynasty, in addition to the emperor, there were generally their own special imperial beads. Chaozhu is divided into six grades: one product, three products, nine products, ten products, twelve products, sixteen products and seventeen products. In addition to the empress, only officials with more than five facial features and civil servants with more than five facial features can wear the beads, and the morning beads are different for different identities and occasions.
Xiao Zhang brought with him lapis lazuli beads, coral beads, sun beads, and beeswax beads.
Because it is a product of official creation, the beads have very strict regulations, ordinary people can not use it at will, and later generations will often determine the price according to the quality of the beads when evaluating its value.
If it is matched with silk thread, the price of Zhao Zhu will become very high, that is to say, Xiao Zhang has heard that the price of Xiao Zhang is as high as 30 million yuan, unfortunately, after the restoration nature, the price of ChaoZhu is much lower. If it's a bead made of silk, it's even cheaper! Because silk can become a simulated silk fabric after dyeing. In the end, the experts gave 200,000 yuan.
Listening to such an explanation, Xiao Zhang was still very reluctant. He wondered, how much were these beads worth? If the price is higher, can it sell so much? With this question in mind, the reporter interviewed Ms. Wang Chunyan, director of the National Jewelry and Jade Quality Supervision and Inspection Center. Experts also explain that some of the beads sell for as much as $30 million, but that's because they're made from the extremely precious beads. During the Qing Dynasty, the Eastern Jewel was strictly controlled by the imperial family and could only be worn by emperors, empresses and empresses.
The 20 great sins of Hezhen are the palace beads made of wearing dongzhu. But he did not dare to wear it during the day, and only at night when it was dark would he quietly take it out, wear it at home for a while, and put it away when he had quit the drug. This kind of behavior is very abnormal, because it violates the traditional idea of "Tianxingjian and gentleman self-improvement", and violates the cultural norms of the combination of ancient Chinese Confucian etiquette and law. Therefore, the emperor was very disgusted with it. But wearing dongzhu privately is evidence of treason in the eyes of the rulers.
This makes it difficult for the "chao zhu to reach this price, unfortunately, the small zhang of the chao zhu" is made of honey wax beads, not the original gold wire, and the back cloud and buddha head have also been changed accordingly, so it can sell for up to 200,000 US dollars.
Hearing this, although Xiao Zhang was very sorry, he still sincerely accepted the explanation and evaluation of the experts. He said that since he was a child, he liked to collect antiques, especially porcelain with the mark of "emperor", and he was fond of them. At an auction, when he found a Qing Dynasty Kangxi Dynasty imperial imperial bead, he was deeply attracted to it. Before he leaves with Asahi, he says that the most important thing is the treasure that his grandfather gave him, and he will not sell asahi, but will always take it with him.
