Chapter 306

At this point, the young man also put on a posture that he didn't want to talk about any more, as if the price of 8000 yuan was already his bottom line.

"This..." Chu Chen looked thoughtful.

"Brother, don't worry. The things are definitely handed down from my family." The young man patted his chest and assured.

Chu Chen didn't say anything, but pretended to love it and kept playing with the things on the stall. After a while, he said, "little brother, I'll add another thousand. Look, there's a punch on this bowl and this plate."

Then Chu Chen pointed to the edge of the bowl and plate, not to mention that there was really a flush.

"Brother, you have a good eye." The young man gave Chu Chen a thumbs up and said, "but after all, it's something that has been around for hundreds of years. It's hard to avoid bumps. Well, if you really want it, let's all step back. How about these things, five thousand five?"

Chu Chen lowered his head and hesitated for a while. He took out the money from his bag, counted it and handed it to the young humanist: "OK, but you have to help me pack it!"

"Good!" The young man took the money and counted it carefully. Then he put down the excitement and joy in his heart and wrapped everything up with old newspapers.

When he was finally ready to pack the folding fan, Chu Chen waved his hand and said, "let's put this fan in my bag. There's no need to pack it."

"OK!..."

After Chu Chen left with the bag, the young man couldn't help cheering and quickly picked up his mobile phone to call his girlfriend.

"What's the matter, Qiangzi! I'm eating

"Good thing! I've sold all the things you gave me yesterday. It's five thousand dollars! "

"No, my father bought so much junk? But is there any treasure in it? "

"Come on, if your father's eyesight is so good, will he lose almost all your family's money?"

"It's the same! Well, let's not talk about this. Now that we have so much money, we can buy the jewelry I saw last time. Qiangzi, you go there first and wait for me. I'll come back later... "

Chu Chen hummed a little song and came to the restaurant he had made an appointment with. As the waiter came to the private room, Zhou Wenping and Lao Wu had ordered and waited for him.

After the three people exchanged greetings, Zhou Wenping said with a smile, "Xiao Chen, I'm in such a good mood. Can't I pick up the leak?"

Chuchen said with a smile: "brother Zhou, your guess is accurate. Just now I really picked up the leak."

"No?" Zhou Wenping and Lao Wu were very surprised, and then they all looked at the bag in Chu Chen's hand.

"It's not in here. These are fakes. Let's wait until we have dinner." Chuchen said with a smile.

"Yes, yes! Eat first... "

At dinner, chuchen said the cause and effect of the leak, and the two of them were surprised.

"It's impossible to steal a chicken. If you lose your wife, you'll lose your soldiers again." "But I'm really curious, Xiao Chen. What treasure have you got?" he said

Chuchen said with a mysterious smile: "we'd better wait until we're full. I'm sure we won't let you down."

"Well, we'll see..."

After dinner, after the waiter cleaned up the table and made everyone a cup of tea, Chu Chen spread a newspaper on the table and took the folding fan out of his bag and put it on it.

"Why! Folding fan

"It should look like a purple wax base!"

Folding fan is a kind of foldable fan made of bamboo or ivory, tough paper or silk. It is also the favorite of traditional Chinese scholars. When using it, it should be spread out into a semicircle, gathered and scattered. It is also known as fan, pinch fan, folding fan, folding fan, gathering fan and so on.

There are different opinions about the origin of folding fan, but I think it is reliable that it originated from the Southern Qi Dynasty.

"Jiaochuanghua fan" has: "folding fan is generally called folding fan. It is also called JuTou fan in ancient times. It began in the Northern Song Dynasty and originated in the Southern Qi Dynasty. In the book of the Southern Qi Dynasty, it is said that "Chu Yuan used waist fan to zhangri", and in the note to Tongjian, it is said that "waist fan is folding fan". But it wasn't popular then. In the Northern Song Dynasty, "the folding fan made in shijingzhong It is not for the exclusive use of a few people

However, no matter what the origin of the folding fan is, the unified point of view is that the folding fan has gradually improved and innovated from the original fan, and has been endowed with a new national traditional cultural significance. Until now, it can be said that it contains the unique cultural connotation of our country.

Chu Chen nodded and said, "yes! It's really a folding fan with a bamboo and purple wax bottom. I think it was made in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. "

"Xiangfei bamboo" is always the most attractive word for collectors. Not only do collectors take pride in having a high-quality Xiangfei bamboo folding fan, but also collectors who have Xiangfei bamboo folding fan often like to compare secretly to see whose Xiangfei bamboo fan is more beautiful and better.Why is the folding fan made of this material so attractive?

Speaking of this, I would like to start with an old legend about Xiangfei bamboo: it is said that Emperor Shun's two concubines, E-Huang and nu Ying, cry and hang Emperor Shun in the face of Cangwu mountain, and tears fall on the bamboo mountain of Jiuyi mountain. The bamboo pole shows a little bit of tears, purple, snow-white and blood red. This is "Xiangfei bamboo".

Some images on bamboo are printed with fingerprints. It is said that the two concubines wiped tears on the bamboo. The bright red blood spots on some bamboos were dyed by the blood and tears from the eyes of the two concubines. The reason why the collection of Xiangfei bamboo fan keeps increasing is not only because of this old sad legend, but also because of its beautiful patterns and rare quantity. After all, its growth period is only two months.

It is said that in ancient times, when calculating the value of the superior Xiangfei bamboo, it should be weighed in the balance, there is a saying that one inch of Xiangfei bamboo is three Liang gold. Among the bamboo fan bones of Xiangfei, the "purple flower wax bottom" before the middle Qing Dynasty was the best, and the materials were based on the red purple round flower spots and yellow wax bamboo ground. The contrast effect was obvious. It was the top grade played by the high officials and nobles, which was not possessed by ordinary people.

Moreover, due to the valuable materials, the "purple flower wax bottom" fan bone is extremely exquisite, which is mostly done by the fan making experts at that time. "Purple flower wax bottom" has been popular since the Ming Dynasty. However, due to climate change and other reasons, the materials were in danger by the middle of the Qing Dynasty. In the late Qing Dynasty, the materials were lack of skills. Therefore, in the collection circle, a top-grade purple flower wax bottom folding fan can be said to be a treasure for folding fan collectors.

Seeing this, both Zhou Wenping and Lao Wu were eager to have a try. They looked at each other, and Lao Wu said with a smile, "brother Zhou, you'd better see it first!"

"Then I will not be respectful." Zhou Wenping laughed, but he didn't pinch. He carefully picked up the folding fan and observed it carefully.

Zhou Wenping picked up the folding fan and did not spread it. First, he carefully looked at the fan bone, and took out a magnifying glass to carefully observe the slurry of the fan head. After a while, he nodded and said, "yes, it really should be the purple wax bottom in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties."

Then, Zhou Wenping opened the folding fan and carefully observed the fan. However, when he saw the fan painting, especially the seal, he was stunned.

"Eight return?"

"What? Is it really eight Hearing the word "Ba Huan", Lao Wu couldn't sit down any more. He immediately stood up and rushed to Zhou Wenping's side and looked up.

Not to mention Zhou Wenping and Lao Wu, when Chu Chen saw the seal of "Ba Huan" before, it was not much better than them. The nickname "bahuan" may not be very well-known, but the other person of this person is a "Badashan man", which must be familiar to everyone.

Badashan people, namely Zhu Da, whose real name is Tong, are the descendants of Zhu Quan, the king of Ning in Ming Dynasty. After the fall of Ming Dynasty, the country was destroyed and the family died. In the fifth year of Shunzhi period, he became a monk. The name of the monk was Chuang, and the word was Renan. All his life, he was loyal to the Ming Dynasty, regarded himself as a adherent of the Ming Dynasty, and refused to cooperate with the Qing Dynasty. In the fourteenth year of Kangxi reign, at the age of 60, the eight mountain people received the money. Until the year of his death, the four characters of the money were even cursive, like "crying" and "laughing".

Badashan people are good at painting landscapes, flowers and birds, bamboo and wood. Flowers and birds learn from Shen Zhou, Chen Chun and Xu Wei, and they have their own style in meditation. Huang Gongwang's landscape was influenced by Dong Qichang. It has a great influence on the flower and bird paintings in Qing Dynasty. Together with Yuanji, Hongren and kuncan, it is called "four eminent monks in early Qing Dynasty".

His works often express his mind with symbolism and exaggerate the flowers, birds, fish and insects in his paintings. With his peculiar image and concise modeling, the images in his paintings are prominent and the themes are bright. He even paints the eyes of birds and fish as "white eyes to people", so as to show his arrogant and cynical character, thus creating an unprecedented flower and bird modeling.

Brush and ink are characterized by unrestrained and unrestrained, vigorous, round and elegant. No matter large or small, they all have the spirit of simple, sound, clear and healthy. The structure of the composition is unconventional, and the integrity is sought in the incompleteness.

The painter Zheng Banqiao once praised the painting of Badashanren: "thousands of paintings are painted horizontally and vertically, but there are not many ink spots and many tears." The images of "simplicity", "elegance", "solitude" and "ethereal" are the main keynote of the eight major paintings, which are also the "empty and quiet", "mysterious and distant", "indifferent" and "deep" pursued by ancient Chinese scholars.

Chu Chen's fan painting on this folding fan is exactly the flower and bird painting of lotus, stone and birds that Badashan people are good at.

The lotus shape in the fan is refined. A weak lotus pole connects the flowers and leaves together. A few ink spots are dull, leisurely and quiet.

The nameless bird, standing on the dangerous rock with one foot, moves in stillness and seeks stillness in danger. It stands tall and looks down on everything. It's really round eyed and vivid.

The stone in the painting is also abnormal, big up and small down. It is in danger and dangerous.

The lotus, the nameless bird and the dangerous stone in the painting are completely out of the author's mental state, showing the author's stubborn and arrogant character. Therefore, it is no accident that the eight mountain people are famous all over the world.
