He Ren and Zhou Wei returned to their respective positions, just like two boxers fighting indiscriminately. After a round, they returned to their seats to replenish their energy.
Zhang Nuo and Liu Fei immediately came up to praise He Ren for his awesomeness.
There will be a fifteen-minute break for the audience and guests to drink water, use the toilet, etc. This is the difference between live broadcast and recorded broadcast. During live broadcast, these times must be freed up.
Li Yutao will definitely not keep the audience waiting. While arranging advertisements, she also arranges for the audience in front of TVs and computers to compete for prizes.
These are Song Wen's resources, and Li Yutao is not polite at all in using them.
He Ren also held a lottery here and interacted with treasure friends. Treasure friends are all curious, how did He Ren see that there was something wrong with the primrose pot? Does he still know about purple sand?
He Ren chuckled and said, "I understand a little bit, I understand a little bit. My knowledge is all mixed up."
The treasure friends naturally laughed at He Ren for showing off, but they were still happy in their hearts. After all, the anchor they supported won the first game, and the winner was a young collector who sounded very awesome, like Baidu Encyclopedia. They felt that they were doubly proud.
Fifteen minutes passed quickly while talking and laughing, and then the second treasure holder also came on stage.
He is also a middle-aged man, but his clothes are much simpler. A shabby sweater and a shabby suit make him look like a migrant worker who has come to work in the city.
But He Ren saw the flaw at a glance. This time it was not shoes, but a watch. The elder brother was wearing a classic IWC watch on his wrist, and He Ren also wanted to buy one.
A migrant worker wears a watch worth tens of thousands of dollars? There must be something wrong! Most likely they were dressed this way on purpose.
It's just that He Ren didn't understand why this big brother deliberately dressed like this on the show. What was he trying to do?
While He Ren was thinking wildly, Shushu walked to the center of the stage again and introduced with a smile, "The next treasure holder is Brother Liao from Guangdong. What he wants to appraise today is an ancestral treasure. The treasure holder himself The estimated value is fifteen million. As for what kind of treasure it is, please allow me to give it a try. Everyone can take a look at it later, and we will have a prize-winning guess."
At this time, the etiquette lady came to the stage again with a tray and placed the tray on the small table. Shushu unveiled the red cloth, and He Ren knew why she wanted to participate in the prize-winning guessing game.
Because the thing in the tray is a gold glazed Yangsui.
The so-called Yangsui is actually an ancient mirror. It was not used to illuminate people at first, but was used to make fire, so it was called Yangsui.
Generally speaking, it is a concave mirror. The mirror faces the sun, and the sunlight shines on the concave surface and is refracted to achieve the effect of condensing light. Combined with a fire-making object such as moxa velvet, you can make fire.
Later, it became a mirror. Because it draws fire from the sky, it has religious attributes. The ancients believed that the sun can ward off evil spirits, and the prototype of the evil mirror is the sun.
Yangsui is generally made of copper or copper alloy. This Yangsui is made of gold, with annular jade buttons inlaid on two raised and symmetrical animal-face pattern button bases.
The most valuable thing is that the eyes of the animal pattern are inlaid with colored glaze, which is extremely rare.
Liuli is known as the first of China's five famous utensils and one of the Seven Treasures of Buddhism. It is more precious than gold, silver, jade, ceramics and bronze.
Everyone must have seen "Journey to the West". Monk Sha was demoted to the lower world because he broke the Jade Emperor's glass cup. This shows how rare glass is.
Liuli is also called ancient glass, which is actually not quite accurate.
The history of firing colored glaze in ancient China can be traced back to the Western Zhou Dynasty. The earliest colored glaze was accidentally produced when firing bronze wares.
Later, glass was introduced to China, and people also called colored glaze glass.
In fact, it just looks similar, but the firing method and material are completely different. Western glass is composed of soda-lime elements, while Chinese colored glaze contains lead and barium.
By the Han Dynasty, the production level of colored glaze was quite mature. However, the technology was in the hands of the royal family and was kept secret. By the Ming Dynasty, it was lost.
The material of ancient colored glaze is special, and its production process is quite complicated. It requires one step of coming in the fire and going out in the water. The production process takes more than 20 days. The entire process is done by hand and can only be successfully fired after 47 processes.
In ancient times, when technology was underdeveloped, problems with any of the processes would lead to failure. Firing colored glaze required not only technology, but also luck.
Moreover, the mold can only be used once. If it fails, craftsmen will need to re-make the mold. Therefore, there are very few glassware handed down from generation to generation and they are also very precious.
To sum up, no glass products are exactly the same, but glass can be mass-produced, and the price difference is here.
Ten years ago, a Tang Dynasty glazed gourd bottle was sold for 125 million yuan. Two years ago, a Tang Dynasty glazed jade bottle was sold for a sky-high price of 162 million yuan.
The colored glaze after the Ming Dynasty was actually developed by the craftsmen themselves. Although it is also called ancient colored glaze, the process cannot be completely restored. No matter the material, shape or technique, it is inferior to the original, and the price is naturally much lower. .
A red phoenix glazed pot from the Qianlong period was sold for only 2 million U.S. dollars, and a glazed Guanyin from the Qing dynasty could only be auctioned for 1.25 million. The price of a glazed product with no designation or story is only a few hundred thousand dollars, and the prices vary greatly. .
When He Ren gave the popular science glass to the treasure friends in the live broadcast room, the on-site guessing had also ended. However, many treasure friends guessed correctly and received small gifts from the TV station.
Most of the audience could guess that it was a gold mirror, and some of the audience could see the jade and colored glaze inlaid on it, but no one could guess that it was a Yang Sui.
At this time, Shushu asked He Ren and Zhou Wei to come on stage to appraise the treasure again. Zhou Wei was much smarter this time. He stood there without saying a word and just motioned for He Ren to speak first. He was afraid that after he had said a lot, He Ren would come again. Saying "Me too"...
He Ren didn't have stage fright at all. He had already read Liuli's knowledge, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to blurt it out just now. However, just to be on the safe side, He Ren still opened his eye for treasures, but the content displayed by the system shocked him.
Name: Gold chilong pattern inlaid with glazed yangsui
Years: two thousand two hundred and fifty years
Isn’t that the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period?
He Ren looked at the treasure holder in front of him who was dressed like a migrant worker in shock. He finally understood why this person was disguised.
This thing definitely didn't come from a good source. It was probably obtained from tomb robberies. This person came on the show to appraise treasures just because he wanted experts to come up with a conclusion about the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and then put it up for auction.
If it is a Qing Dynasty imitation, the price will only be three to five million, but if it is from the Warring States Period, it will be at least ten times higher, and even five million will be unaffordable.
Of course, what shocked He Ren even more was that five million was beyond the scope of the primary treasure appraiser. Is this Yang Sui real or fake?
If it is really a fake, how should He Ren deal with it?
He Ren frowned. Now he could only rely on the knowledge he had read in books to conduct on-the-spot appraisals. If this happened on the show, he would be embarrassed...
Looking at He Ren's look, Zhou Wei thought He Ren was unfamiliar with glassware, and then smiled and said, "Expert He, why don't you say anything? How about I come first, and you say 'Me too'?"
