I believe that many people have watched treasure hunting programs on TV, especially some collectors, who can gain a lot of cultural relics knowledge in this program. Viewers who have watched the show must be very clear that the quality of the antiques in the hands of these collectors is uneven, some are bought from the antique market, some are handed down from generation to generation in the family, and the stories behind the antiques are also wonderful and interesting. What I want to say to you in this issue is that the beautiful woman brings the "jade cicada" treasure, so is this cultural relic real or fake?
After the woman walked on the stage of the treasure hunting program, she explained the origin of the collection in her hand for everyone, she said that her family conditions are good, she will collect some objects in her spare time, this jade cicada is what she bought by chance, and has been worn on her body since she bought it.
Say it has been worn for more than ten years.
Later, the family's economy was not enough, and the woman wanted to sell the jade cicada to alleviate the family's predicament, so she came to this treasure hunting program, hoping that experts could give its price. After the experts have carefully looked at this jade cicada,
He scolded, "You know what this is."
What is the meaning of the jade cicada?
Jade cicadas, as the name suggests, are cicada-shaped jade objects. Jade is very special in the eyes of Chinese, and different shapes have different meanings. The cicada is a creature that only drinks dew, and at a high place, its voice is loud, symbolizing high purity in the eyes of the literati and inkers.
In the ancient burial culture, people would bring some precious things into the grave and put some objects in the mouth of the corpse, which they believed could be used to prevent the corpse from decaying, for example, there was a night pearl in the mouth of Empress Dowager Cixi. But not everyone can die with the pearl of the night, some special ancients will contain jade cicadas, which is said to be a symbol of immortality.
The woman had been wearing the contents of the dead man's body, which sounded really alarming, but it was not known whether the jade cicada on the woman's body came from the corpse's mouth. Subsequently, after research, experts judged that this cultural relic was from the Han Dynasty. And this jade cicada is exquisitely carved, and the jade is also superior, if you take it to the market to sell, the price is 800,000, and the woman will put her mind at ease after hearing this result and happily leave the program.
Jade cicadas are generally the burial of the dead, but they are not obscure things, on the contrary, jade cicadas are auspicious symbols in the eyes of the ancients, and this woman wears them on her body, does not she have good luck? In addition, her collection has also brought her great wealth, but this is only the lucky side of the huge antique market, I don't know how many collectors have lost their money in this market, so investing in cultural relics is just a hobby, and it must not be used as a magic weapon to get rich.
