Since human beings have civilization, objects closely related to life have been manufactured one by one, but with the change of the times and the continuation of war, many ancient civilizations have been destroyed, and countless cultural treasures have been submerged in the rolling river of history.
Fortunately, there will always be a very small number of items that will be preserved and tempered over thousands of years.
In the "Second Year of Zuo Chuan Huan Gong", there is such a record: "Fude, frugal and moderate, ascending and descending a number, cultural relics to be recorded, declarations to be issued, to the hundred officials." This shows that in ancient times, people even used cultural relics to clarify the nobility and lowliness, and the hierarchy was made, which shows that the importance of cultural relics from ancient times to the present has always maintained a high degree of vigilance and respect.
Some of these relics and relics of historical, artistic and scientific value left by human beings in social activities have become heirlooms, some have appeared in the antique market, and some have stayed in museums and enjoyed the treatment they deserve.
Although heirlooms belong to personal property, it is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish between authenticity and falsity, and it is even more difficult to value them. Based on this, many professionals have become experts, and treasure hunting programs have sprung up.
In a treasure hunting program, a noblewoman took a rare stone weighing 450g to treasure, vowing to be full of expectations, but experts said that it was a fake, what was the matter?
The lady said that this stone was a rare field yellow stone
Regarding this field of Huangshi, there is also a folk legend: "After Nuwa made up the heavens, there were still many spirit stones of different sizes left." So she inspected the land of Shenzhou, and finally found that the mountains and rivers of Shoushan in Fuzhou were hidden, the forest was quiet, and the scenery was beautiful, so she sprinkled these spirit stones that were once used to replenish the heavens to the earth of Shoushan, which was the Tian Huangshi hidden in the Landscape and Water Fields of Shoushan. ”
Although it is only an unbounded legend, the place of origin is correct, which is under the rice fields on both sides of the "Shoushan Creek" in Shoushan Township, Fuzhou City. The use of Tian Huang began in the Wanli of the Ming Dynasty and flourished in the Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, so tian Huangshi during the Qing Dynasty was particularly valuable.
But it is precisely because this field of Yellowstone is extremely valuable, so there are many fakes. Tian Huang is known as "Yi Jin Triple" saying, because it is rare and difficult to find, high value, as early as the Qing Dynasty, there were merchants who used Lianjiang Huang to fake Tian Huangshi. It's hard to find a treasure.
However, in a treasure hunting program, a noble lady actually appeared with a piece of Tian Huangshi weighing 450 grams, which was really eye-catching. If this thing is genuine, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a priceless thing.
Expert treasure hunting results: this item is a fake
The treasure expert took the Tian Huangshi brought by the noblewoman in his hand and carefully watched the appreciation. During this time, he also popularized the origin and preciousness of Tian Huangshi to the noblewoman. It is also said that at the spring auction of 2013, there was a similar piece of Tian Huangshi sold, weighing about 450 grams, the time is the early Qing Dynasty, because it is naturally formed, so the final transaction price is 2.99 million.
When she heard the figure of 2.99 million, the lady smiled involuntarily. Then the expert continued to appreciate the field yellowstone in his hand and gave an evaluation.
As we all know, Tian Huangshi is a single-grained monolith that grows in the farmland of Shoushan Mountain in Fujian Province. And the farmland in Fujian, that is a paddy field, that is to say, the real field Huangshi is under the maintenance, washing and baptism of water for many years. The material will be very warm, which is one of the biggest characteristics of Tian Huangshi.
But the stone in my hand, obviously without a trace of warmth, gave people a very hard feeling. This means that the stone quality of this stone is not a field pit, but a mountain pit. Since it is a stone that comes out of the pit, it is not a stone with separate particles. Obviously, this is not Tian Huang at all.
So what is the origin of this stone? Experts said that this is the use of Shoushan stone mountain material to make color, and then add a layer of skin, of course, this layer of skin is also artificially made, so this is a piece of counterfeit pretending to be Tian Huangshi. If you want to talk about the value, seventy thousand yuan is less than that, it is an ordinary work of art.
The lady laughed: It is a national treasure
For this treasure hunting result given by the expert, the noblewoman is very difficult to accept. You must know that the origin of this stone is not small, because the family conditions are very rich. His brother has been doing business overseas for many years and is particularly fond of collecting.
So after discovering this piece of Tian Huangshi that year, he loved it and bought it for 700,000 yuan. Originally, it should be the brother who went to the scene of the treasure show, but the sister-in-law did not let the brother come, and the reason was actually very simple: afraid of revealing wealth.
For this reason for not coming to the scene, it is still very humane, indicating that the person is low-key. But the brother said very firmly: This is a national treasure, Tian Huangshi.
Judging from the expression on her laughing face at the end, she was skeptical of the expert's appraisal results, and she was also extremely convinced of her brother's words. But whether it is true or not, as an amateur, it is not easy to make comments.
brief summary
If it is the real Tian Huangshi, it must be a national treasure. Tian Huangshi has become an independent seal stone variety. This stone is precious because only the sand layer under a narrow paddy field lined with a small stream in Shoushan Village, Fujian Province, is found.
And after hundreds of years of continuous mining, the paddy fields of Shoushan Village have been excavated countless times, and now they have been mined to the end, and the superior field yellow has long been a priceless treasure. In ancient times, there was a saying of "one or two fields of yellow and three two gold", and now it is time to be "two" to "jin", so the price of field yellow has risen rapidly.
As a collector, even if you buy a fake, you can only pay tuition. Since we have the ability to spend 700,000 yuan to buy this stone, it shows that we have the economic strength to bear it. You don't have to blame yourself too much or give up on yourself, and it's worth paying for your hobby.
Everything has two sides, there must be gains and losses, there are sacrifices to gain, this is the ancient saying left by the ancestors, it is worth speculating and learning. Keep a normal heart, and happiness is the most important thing.
