Chapter 694

When the deal was finished, Chu Chen asked Nian Dasha for a clean rag, wiped the surface a little, and then picked up the statue to put it at the door. However, with this hug, he immediately felt that the weight of the statue seemed to be wrong!

"Is there anything wrong with this statue?"

Although he had such doubts, Chu Chen was calm on the surface. After he took things to the door of the room, he quickly used his power. The result was exactly the same as he thought. There was something hidden in it, but it surprised him.

Considering that it was still the site of the original owner's family, Chu Chen quickly picked up his mood and went back to the house.

Nian Dashan, who earned about a month's living expenses, was in a good mood. Seeing Chu Chen come in, he asked with a smile: "boss Chu, what else do you need?"

Chu Chen saw that other people were still choosing things, so he said, "I'll have a look first."

"Just look, the price is negotiable..."

As I said earlier, although Nian Da Sha had a lot of things in his room, there were really few good things. Next, Chu Chen used his powers to investigate again and found that there was nothing good in his room except Zhu Dafu. However, he was quite satisfied with the statue of respecting the old and the wax Buddha, as well as a statue with hidden mystery.

The things Meng Yixian and Qiao Qingtai have in their hands are just stationery such as penholder and inkstone. Although Chu Chen didn't look at them carefully, he can see that they are very common. If there is no accident, there should be nothing worth more than ten thousand in them.

But Zhu Dafu's selection of things is not too common, is a group of four silver blue flask.

"Silver firing blue", also known as silver embryo enamel, is made of silver as the embryo. Silver filaments are used to pinch out patterns on the embryo, and then transparent and translucent enamel glaze is used to fill the patterns on the silver embryo. It is fired for many times at a low temperature of about 500 to 600 degrees. The work is gorgeous, bright and unique.

This craft was invented by Italian and Italian craftsmen at the end of the 13th century, and colorful transparent enamel ware appeared in France in the 14th century. So far, the earliest object discovered in China is the "silver fired blue" five blessing and eight longevity box in Yongzheng period of Qing Dynasty. It has precious blue, light blue, light green, red, yellow and white enamel. It is a mature product with good transparency and thorough color. Therefore, its origin should not be later than the end of the 17th century.

The process of Cloisonne is similar to that of Shaolan, but due to the different components of the blue material, the "blue" formed by Cloisonne is not as transparent as the watercolor of Shaolan.

Generally speaking, the Silver Enamel process is mostly used to make boxes, cans, bottles or small ornaments. The products can be decorated with agate, turquoise, etc.

Silver is valuable and strong, while enamel glaze is crystal clear, smooth, highly decorative, but also has wear resistance and corrosion resistance. As palace furnishings, it can add color to the palace, as a royal living utensil, it can reflect the noble status of the feudal emperors.

The quadruple medicine bottle in Zhu Dafu's hand is a series of small bottles with four prescriptions, which are connected together with hinges similar to door leaves. The name of the medicine is written on one side of the vial, and various patterns are carved on the other side. It seems that the workmanship is quite exquisite. However, it may have a long history, and the surface is blackened due to oxidation, so it doesn't look very impressive.

Considering that he was still in nianda's home, Chu Chen was curious about what things were like, but he didn't ask for them to appreciate them.

Nian Dafu is very happy to see that he has another sum of money in his account. In his eyes, Zhu Dafu and others have much better eyesight than Chu Chen. Therefore, the prices quoted are not low, and they bite very hard. Anyway, he didn't know the real value of these things, so the last three people collected the things at a price similar to the price of leakage.

When people came out of the house with their things, they saw the wooden statue Chu Chen had placed at the door.

"Eh!"

Seeing Chu Chen go straight to the statue, Zhu Dafu said softly, "Xiao Chen, is this your choice?"

"I think it's very strange. I'm going to study it."

Chuchen nodded with a smile and said, "it's late. Let's go back and talk about it."

Zhu Dafu and others originally wanted to study what's special about this statue. After listening to Chu Chen's words, they remembered that this is the master's home after all. In case it's a good thing, isn't it filling up for Nian Dashan? So everyone nodded yes.

After that, they went to the neighborhood for help, but they didn't want to build a small van.

It is true that wealth is not exposed, because the driver is not an acquaintance. Chu Chen and others sitting in the car did not discuss the harvest just now, but talked about their own interesting experiences.

Joking, time passed quickly, we felt that after a while, the car arrived at the hotel where they stayed.

Chu Chen moved the statue to his room, and Zhu Dafu and others took out the harvest and put it on the table in Chu Chen's room.

Meng Yixian pointed to the two jades on the table and said, "let's talk about how to distribute the two jades first."

Zhu Dafu said: "this old ornament must be given to old Joe. Do you have any opinions?"Chu Chen and Meng Yi shook their heads first, saying that they had no opinions. Qiao Qingtai quickly arched his hand to everyone to express his thanks.

After confirming the ownership of the jade plate, Meng Yi asked, "what about this jade plate?"

Zhu Dafu said with a smile: "Xiaomeng, you know I like collecting jade. Can I have this jade plate?"

This kind of jade plate is very unusual. Meng Yixian also likes it very much, but Zhu Dafu is his old friend after all, and Zhu Dafu really likes jade.

So he said with a smile, "it's OK to give it to you, but you have to give me your quadruple medicine bottle. Is that ok?"

"Yes! No problem! " Zhu Dafu nodded repeatedly. Although the quadruple medicine bottle was rare, it was not worth mentioning to his favorite jade ware.

After putting the statue in place, Chu Chen picked up the group of medicine bottles and looked at them. On one side of the bottles, four kinds of medicine names were embossed: "wolongdan, shayaowan, honglingdan, Pingan powder"; on the other side, eight patterns representing eight immortals were embossed: "fan, sword; Hualan, dizi; gourd, jade plate; lotus, Yugu".

In addition, the bottom color of the medicine bottle is light blue, purple red, lake blue and dark blue enamel, which sets off the simplicity of the words and the vividness of the tools. On the side of the vase are carved peony in spring, lotus in summer, chrysanthemum in autumn and plum in winter. The lines are smooth and elegant.

This group of silver and blue medicine bottles are of exquisite workmanship. From the point of view of workmanship, they should be made in the palace building office in the middle of the Qing Dynasty. They were used by the imperial doctors at that time. They were very rare.

Meng Yixian waited for Chu Chen to finish reading, and then asked, "little Chu, how about this thing?"

Chuchen said with a smile: "things are in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, very good, can be regarded as a silver blue works."

Seeing that Chu Chen said so, Meng Yi was very happy. After he took the medicine bottle, he couldn't put it down to play with it.

At this time, Zhu Dafu asked: "Xiaochen, I had the impression that you didn't just buy this statue, did you?"

Chuchen, with a smile, took the statue out of his bag. As soon as we saw it, we were stunned. For Nian Dasha, he would take the old wax as Xiuyu, but for these experienced old people, you can see at a glance that this Buddha statue is made of high-quality old wax.

Qiao Qingtai asked in surprise: "is this old wax?"

Chu Chen nodded and said, "yes, I think it's a statue of Buddha crossing the sea carved with old wax in Yongle period of Ming Dynasty."

People were even more surprised when they heard that it was the Yongle period, and they began to observe it one after another.

After a while, Zhu Dafu put down the Buddha statue in his hand and said, "it's really a good thing. It's made of honey and wax. It's old enough. The carving is also extremely exquisite."

Qiao Qingtai was full of praise when he saw it. Meng Yixian asked: "Xiao Chu, I think the workmanship of this Buddha statue is really excellent, but it doesn't belong to the year of Yongle. How can you think it was made in the year of Yongle?"

"Then I'll teach you a lesson. If there's anything wrong, please forgive me."

Chuchen chuckled, and then began to explain: "first of all, the production process of this Buddha is completely different from that of jade carving Buddha in the Qing Dynasty. It is basically based on the Han craftsmen's understanding of the Buddha in mind, and the material characteristics and time legacy of vicissitudes are far earlier than those of the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, in any way, the carving time of this Buddha statue should be in the Ming Dynasty. "

Hearing this, they all nodded and agreed.

Chu Chen went on to say: "according to historical materials, Emperor Yongle's esteem for Tibetan Living Buddhas has reached an irrefutable level. At that time, a large number of Buddha statues were made in the imperial court. Most of the bronze Buddha statues with the inscription" Yongle nianshi of the Ming Dynasty "were made in this period. However, most of the craftsmen came from South Asian countries, and their Buddha statues were quite different from those in the Han Dynasty Style. "

"This is not the case when carving materials such as jade and wax. These foreign technicians at that time did not know how to make these hard materials, and they were unable to carry out rigorous artistic processing. Therefore, the production of this kind of utensils still depends on the carving craftsmen in the mainland. "

"However, due to the influence of the process of bronze Buddha, the body style of jade Buddha is obviously close to that of bronze Buddha, which forms a new style of combination of Han and Tibetan. The treatment of my face is basically the same as that of Yongle bronze Buddha. In terms of clothing pattern, it also conforms to the characteristics of Yongle period. "

"In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, as the emperors gradually accepted the Taoist doctrine, they gradually ignored Tibetan Buddhism. Even if there were occasional Jade Buddha statues in the court, the production style was completely sinicized, and there was no more Tantric style at all..."
