Chapter 592

To be honest, Wang Xiangong was shocked that the seal survived the Jingnan battle in the early Ming Dynasty, the fire in the Zhengde period, and the destruction of the Ming Dynasty by the Qing Dynasty. Chu Chen was also very surprised.

Liu Sizhe observed Ma's seal very carefully, and then he was stunned and said, "I think it's true! However, this is Zhu Biao's seal Wait a minute, is it possible that this party was buried with the seal, so it survived? "

"It seems possible!" Wang Xiangong frowned and thought about it, thinking it might be the reason.

Chu Chen shook his head: "I don't think so, because if it's funerary objects, there will always be traces of funerary objects on the seal surface, right? I think it's more likely that someone took it out of the Palace during the battle of Jingnan. "

Everyone nodded and agreed with this explanation.

Liu Sizhe said with a smile: "anyway, the seal is true. As for how it was handed down, we are not historians. Why do we know so clearly? As for the inheritance of antiques in the market, there is a preface: different people have different opinions

"I can't say that. The place to study is still to study. It's due to the orderly inheritance..." At this point, Chu Chen could not help shaking his head and laughing.

During this period, some so-called "experts" in the antique market played up and advocated the so-called ordinal theory of heritage. In fact, to put it bluntly, it is to try to turn some cultural relics that do not inherit stories into moving stories to be told to people and collectors who do not know the truth.

This is similar to the story telling of hawkers in the antique market. Its purpose is to make more money by hyping.

Specifically, it is not the collusion between experts and some treasure holders. That is, some experts collude with foreign dealers in cultural relics. As a result, driven by interests, some cultural relics that do not know their origins have to make up beautiful and moving inheritance stories for the Chinese people to listen to, so as to achieve the purpose of hype.

A general manager of an auction company once said, "the most common Ding kiln plain porcelain is dirty and old, but if it is found in the market, every sign on the body will double its value, because it has witnessed the history from the collection of the Qing palace to the present age, which is the market power of" orderly inheritance. "

In fact, it is impossible to have a very detailed record of a cultural relic or antique that has passed through the hands of many collectors for hundreds or thousands of years. For example, will the museum list all the collectors who have collected?

Since even museums don't deliberately pursue orderly inheritance, as buyers, why should they care about these things?

When buying antiques, don't listen to stories. Many people know this. How can they pay attention to it at the stall? But when it comes to the auction, many people believe it? Moreover, some people say that things are handed down in an orderly way, but how much strong evidence can they produce?

Therefore, Chu Chen believes that things are true, and if they are false, no matter how good a story you tell, it can not be changed from false to true. Even if it's true, it's better not to listen to those so-called stories. An ordinary antique, according to a beautiful story, costs several percent. Isn't it unfair to pay for it?

Liu Sizhe said with a smile: "it's OK to study it, but there's no clue about it!"

Duan Kun said: "who said there is no clue? Isn't wang Xiaoshan's family a clue? I'll call again later and ask the person who goes tomorrow to ask for help. Maybe I can ask something! "

Liu Sizhe sniffed and said, "come on, I think the hope is slim. His family can even forget the formula of opening the box. How likely do you think it is to remember the origin of the seal?"

Chuchen said with a smile: "even if you say that, it's better to ask. Let's do our best to listen to the destiny..."

When the car arrived in Fucheng, we found a place to live first, and finally came to Fucheng. We had to have fun anyway, but Wang Xiangong was going to take the plane back to Beijing tomorrow morning because of something at home.

So in the evening, we had a good meal of local food in the restaurant recommended by Duan Kun. Then, because of the tiredness of the journey, we had an early rest.

The next day, after saying goodbye to Wang Xiangong, Chu Chen and others began to visit the second largest city in western province.

Fucheng is a city with a long history and outstanding people. This is the hometown of Huangdi Yuanfei and Leizu, the mother of silk, and the birthplace of Dayu. It is one of the birthplaces of acupuncture and moxibustion in China.

Since ancient times, this land has been full of talents and talents. It has bred Li Bai, Ouyang Xiu, Wen Tong, Li Diaoyuan, Sha Ting, Deng Jiaxian, Feng Dashi and many other outstanding figures. Sima Xiangru, Yang Xiong, Jiang Wan, song Zheyuan, Du Fu, Wang Bo, Yang Jiong, Lu Zhaolin and other important relics or works have been left here.

As a city with splendid culture and beautiful scenery, there are many places to visit, but Chu Chen and his four people are not familiar with Fucheng, so they found a guide temporarily.

I followed the tour guide to the scenic spots in Fucheng city for a day. The next day, the four did not go on the tour, because yesterday I heard from the tour guide that it was Saturday, and there was an antique market in Fucheng this morning.As practitioners and enthusiasts in the field of antiques, Chu Chen, of course, could not miss such an opportunity. So they got up early in the morning. After eating early, Hu Yong took them by car and asked the way several times. Finally, they found the antiques market that the guide said.

According to yesterday's guide, the antique market officially opened in 1995. Although the place is not big and there are only nearly 50 stores, the popularity here is very high.

When they got there, they found that, as the guide said, there were a lot of people and lots of stalls, with porcelain, calligraphy and paintings, coins, jade, miscellaneous and so on.

Seeing this, except Hu Yong, the other three were excited. But that's how antiques are. Almost nine of the ten are fake. After seeing a few things, the three of them gradually calmed down.

On such occasions, peddlers are indispensable.

The so-called shovel land, that is, they do not open their own shops, go to the countryside to collect goods, or steal ancient tombs. After they get things, they sell them to various businesses, or sell them in the market by themselves. The industry calls them "guerrillas", also known as "shovels", or simply "shovels".

Shovels are relatively simple in composition. They are almost exclusively rural people who are native to China. They are either rag collectors or lazy people who wander around. One day, when they see that the antique business is making money, they are infected and enter. Of course, there are also those who are influenced by their relatives and friends and learn from their teachers.

Generally speaking, some of the more professional shovels are familiar with the road, and they keep in mind where they love to produce things and where there are better goods that can't be bought. Of course, such news is generally kept secret to their peers. The reason is very simple. If you tell others that you want to fight for business, and you are likely to frighten the owner, you will not be able to buy anything.

Generally, shovels have been turning in rural areas all year round, and most of the goods they receive are low-grade goods. Why is this so? The truth is equally simple: there are few good things in the world. Although the countryside is vast, it has always been a concentrated area with backward economy.

Even if there are some rich landlords who mostly live a tight life on rent, they have neither the strength nor the interest to spend a lot of money on fun. Moreover, the countryside is wide and the public security is poor. If there is something good, if it is known by bandits, it will lead to the destruction of families and people. Therefore, most of the people who live in the countryside are street goods and junk goods.

Of course, after all, the countryside is so big that it can't be said that there are no good things at all. However, shovels all have one common feature, that is, goods come and goods go, and small business. Some discerning shop owners go to them to receive goods in the open space of the market. Some gain mutual trust and form friendly relations. Once they order decent goods, they will take the initiative to call.

For example, Chu Chen knew several professional shovels, and he would contact him if he had any good things.

In view of the above reasons, after many shovels come to the market, most of the goods put out are rubbish left after being selected by experts.

However, there are always people who miss the net. Besides, there are many peddlers who shovel the land, and the goods on them are full of variety. The so-called antique expert will not be as omniscient as Chu Chen. He is only expert in one or several aspects, and generally has his weakness, so he has left many opportunities.

For these opportunities, Taobao's talents are happy to catch up with the market in order to get more opportunities.

As a peddler for nearly five years, Chu Chen has little experience in distinguishing professional shovels. For example, from the things in his stall and the communication with customers around him, Chu Chen guessed that he should be a more experienced professional shovel.

Generally, when the senior shovels come to the market, they always bring some good goods. Chu Chen thinks that they come early and the other party may have some goods, so he plans to have a look.

But the stall owner was talking about business with others, and Chu Chen was ready to look at the things on the stall first.

Since it's a spade, it must be a variety of things. The things on the stall here are all kinds of things, ranging from porcelain vases, Buddha statues to coins (bracelets).

Of course, most of the things on the stall are ordinary goods, but there are not many fakes, which is one reason why Chu Chen thinks the stall owner is a senior shovel.

"Brother Chen, what is this?" As soon as chuchen squats down, Duan Kun finds something he likes and hands it to chuchen.

Chu Chen took it and saw that it was a pair of fragrant balls. After looking at it, he said casually:

"this is a pair of fragrant balls. If it's not expensive, you can buy them for Zhenzhen."
