Chapter 320 Noble Beeswax

Seeing Yu Shan’s awkwardness, Chang Qingdian immediately said: “These things are very similar. Look at this, it is Jade Jue, which is the oldest jade ornament in my country. It is a ring-shaped shape and has a gap.

In ancient times, it was mainly used as earrings and ornaments. Small jade rings were often unearthed in pairs on the ears of the deceased, similar to today's earrings, while larger-sized rings were decorated and talismans worn."

"What about those?" Yu Shan pointed to the other things placed in front of Yu Jue, and he knew Yu Bi.

When Yu Shan asked this, he happened to ask about the itchy part of the ivy. Those who like antiques are the most boring thing to visit the market alone, and it is best to be a group of people. It is the happiest thing to discuss treasure hunting with each other like this.

Therefore, many antique lovers will have a huge treasure appraisal meeting from time to time or organize Taobao activities together. It is not that they want to show off or show off, but that they are unbearable to be confident. Especially when they find good things, if there are not many who are also knowledgeable to come and appraise them together, it means that there are shortcomings in life.

Ivy likes jade the most, so he is interested in it as long as it is related to jade.

At this time, Yu Shan was also interested, so he was naturally happy. Chang Qingdie picked up another piece of jade ornament that looked very much like the jade ornament just now and explained: "Look at this, this is a jade ring. Jue and Jue are homophones, but the two are different. Both are shaped like rings and have gaps, but from a philology perspective, the difference between the two is clear at a glance.

Jue, from the shape of the character, the king on the left is also jade, which means two pieces of jade are together, so Jue is paired and is mostly seen on the sides of the female protagonist's ears unearthed tomb, but Jue is not the case. Jue only points to jade with gaps in the shape of a ring, which is usually worn by a man, and the quantity is one piece, and in terms of size, Jue is smaller than Jue.

This kind of jade pendant was often found in tombs of the Neolithic Age, late Western Zhou Dynasty, and the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. It was mostly placed next to the ears of the dead and used as earrings. By the Han Dynasty, it was mainly used as jade pendants.

There are many sayings about the use of jade rings in ancient and modern times. There are five types in summary: one is used as a wear ornament; the second is used as a message tool, which means that the person who is involved breaks off relations with it when he sees a ring; the third is used to mean that the wearer makes decisions in everything, and has the temperament of a gentleman or a real man; the fourth is the sign of punishment; the person who violates the law is waiting in a certain place, but he is not allowed to return when he sees a ring; the fifth is used to shoot arrows, and when he is used, he wears the ring on his right thumb to make a hook string."

Yu Shan heard what Chang Qing Teng said, that's true. This time he knew that he had gained some knowledge, but he didn't expect that this old man really had a few tricks.

"Are these things real?" Yu Shan couldn't help asking.

Although I don’t understand, Yu Shan also knows that everything here cannot be true.

When I heard this, Ivy smiled even more happily, and he said happily: "You can't say that, you should say that old and old, not true or false. Among jade, there are few times when distinguishing between true or false, only the quality of the texture is good or bad.

For example, this jade pendant is simple in making. If it is old, it is the style of the Neolithic Age. The jade ornaments from this period are mostly made of oval and circular sections with missing rings. Except for the pig dragon-shaped blocks in Hongshan Culture, all are light and have no patterns.

The pig dragon block (also known as animal-shaped block) in Hongshan Culture has a special shape and is generally large in shape. Some blocks have fine perforations, which are considered jade. Archaeological excavations have confirmed that most large blocks of this culture were unearthed on the chest of the deceased, which can be confirmed that it is not an earring.

The jade rings of the Shang Dynasty were flakes. You see, this is the jade rings of the Shang Dynasty. The size is generally 5 to 10 cm. They are divided into two types. One is lucid and narrow rings, and the other is a dragon-shaped ring, which is curled dragon-shaped. The dragon opens its mouth and reveals its teeth, the back is decorated with the edge of the door, and the dragon body is decorated with a hooked and thunder pattern. It is commonly known as the "false-yang text". The lines and corners are square and hard, and the patterned style is strong.

This piece was from the Zhou Dynasty. It looks the same, but it is still a little different. The jade ring of the Zhou Dynasty is still in flake shape, with a flesh part that is significantly wider than that of the Shang Dynasty, with a smaller middle hole, and an oval block. The body of the ring is mostly light, with some decorative string patterns and cloud thunder patterns. The patterns tend to be simplified compared with the Shang Dynasty.

There are few dragon-shaped rings, and most of them have no spines. In the Spring and Autumn Period, the Warring States Period, the largest number of jade rings. This period, the jade rings are smaller in shape, generally ranging from 3 to 5 cm in diameter. The body of the ring is flat and generally decorated with patterns, and few plain faces are rare.

The patterns were mainly composed of the fine and dense styles of the coiled dragon pattern and the coiled squid pattern that was popular at that time. The patterns were decorated with double hooks of Yin or wide Yin lines, and the hairline were simplified to be engraved with two dragons and two beast patterns. A few fine products were openworked images of beast heads at both ends.

Although jade rings in the Han Dynasty were famous, there were not many. The style was inherited from the Warring States Period. The small rings were not as exquisite as those in the Warring States Period. At this time, some larger rings appeared, with diameters of more than 10 cm, and should be jade or talisman instruments.

After the Song Dynasty, antique jade rings appeared, mainly imitating the shapes of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The imitation patterns of the Song Dynasty were mostly not in line with the ancient system, and the blocks were heavier than those of the Warring States Period. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, the pattern processing and carving knife techniques were difficult to achieve the natural and smooth, sharp and vigorous effect during the Warring States Period, and often had an ancient shape and lacked the ancient meaning.

You see these, from the Neolithic Age to the Ming Dynasty, there are all styles, so even if they are all new crafts, it is worth seeing. The most important thing is that the boss here is not slandered. These new imitations use jasper from Xinjiang Province. Although they are not worth it, they are also jade. It is still good to take them back and play with them."

After hearing what Changqing Ivy said, Yu Shan suddenly realized that no wonder Changqing Ivy knew that these jade ornaments were not very valuable, but still checked them carefully here. It turned out that there was really some tricks.

"How do you sell these things? Is Mr. Chang interested?" Yu Shan became interested in what Chang Qing Ivy said. Besides, although these are antique jade, they are also jade, so he also wanted to buy them.

Chang Qing Ivy shook his head and said, "I have a lot of them at home. Today I come here to take a look. If Xiaoyu likes it, I will buy it and have fun."

The boss was originally ugly when he was told by Ivy, but now when he heard that Yu Shan was going to buy it, he naturally smiled happily.

"This guy is familiar with it and knows that my carvings are pretty good, and they are really jasper, so the price is a bit inflated." The boss looked at the Ivy with a flattering look on his face.

Evergreen shook his head and didn't say anything in the end. Yu Shan naturally understood what it meant, so he said directly: "Don't be too tall. No matter how good the carving is, it's still a machine. Such a craft is worthless. Also, don't think I really don't know anything. This kind of jasper is made of waste materials left over from cutting bracelets, right?

I don’t know anything else, that kind of waste is a lot of tricks on the Internet. If it weren’t for the jade carvings of you, it would be of some significance, I didn’t even ask, and I would give it a real price. If the price is right, I would have collected all of you.”

Yu Shan glanced at the things on the stall. There were a lot of jade decorations, scattered in seventy or eighty pieces, plus 10 or twenty bracelets, and a piece of two square white cloth was filled with a piece of white cloth. However, the white cloth was too shady, and it turned into black cloth. The boss was reluctant to change it to a new one.

"One piece is one hundred, for this brother's sake. If I don't meet someone who knows it, each piece of my business can be sold for seven or eight hundred yuan." Finally, the boss gritted his teeth and acted like he was reluctant to give up.

"Along with your bracelets, I will collect all of them for you, one thousand yuan." Yu Shan calculated, and the Anxin bracelets were only one hundred pieces, one thousand yuan.

"One thousand yuan? How is it possible? After counting this, I only sell a jade bi for ten yuan? You are not kind-hearted. If it is really the price, then I can buy yours, and I will charge as much as I can." The boss said with a look of being silly by the dog.

Yu Shan laughed and said, "Just this price, if Mr. Chang hadn't said that the thing was pretty good and it wasn't too scammers, I'll pay at most three yuan per piece. Have you seen it? I can choose the jade pendant over there for two yuan."

"Can his things be compared with mine? Those are glass products, they are made of broken glass, and they can be sold casually. If it were me, they would be willing to sell them for two yuan." The boss said with disdain.

Yu Shan shook his head and smiled, but he refused to spit. At this time, Ivy nodded in praise when he saw Yu Shan's performance.

"Boss, my little brother is not easy to fool you. For my sake, I will add a hundred yuan to you, which is the price. If I guess well, your purchase price will definitely not exceed five yuan." Ivy said at this time.

If Yu Shan cannot bite the price, Ivy cannot be inserted casually. But now it is different. He is on the Yuan plate to help the boss complete the transaction, so the boss can only accept his love and cannot blame the price.

Yu Shan also spoke: "There is now expensive, so the machine does not have to spend a lot of money. As I said just now, the jade you bought is all waste and is really worthless, so 1,100 yuan has already made you a lot of money."

The jasper in Xinjiang Province is not very valuable in itself, and Yu Shan has really seen the cylindrical jasper left over the cutting bracelet, and it is definitely piled up into mountains. Of course, he saw the pictures on the Internet. He was still very amazed at the time, but he didn't expect to see jewelry made of those jaspers today.

Seeing that Yu Shan really didn't want to raise the price, the boss said with a bitter look on his face: "Okay! Just make friends. If you still need jade ornaments in the future, you must come here to find me."

Yu Shan took out 1,100 yuan from his wallet and handed it to the boss, and the thing was directly placed on a newspaper by the boss and wrapped it up.

"There are those bracelets, I'm just about to get some to send them away." Yu Shan was a little anxious when he saw that the boss didn't take those bracelets.

"This is not possible. My bracelets are good things." The boss immediately changed his face.

"Uh? Good stuff? I just said that I had collected your stall. Now it's just these jade ornaments, which can be enough, so it can't be counted as one thousand, one hundred yuan." Yu Shan was shocked, but he quickly recovered from calmness. He reacted quickly and immediately found a breakthrough point.

"Yes, I just said one of the items cost ten yuan, but these jade ornaments are only seventy or eighty, and these are not worth a thousand yuan." Ivy also spoke.
