My identity as a collector was exposed by the village flower

Chapter 356 Nautical Chart

"Fuck! Xia Yu, is that you?"

Suddenly, a buddy not far away looked this way, with a look of shock and surprise on his face.

"Look, you're more famous." Yuanyuan teased.

They are obviously two stars, but the other party only recognizes Xia Yu, which is embarrassing.

The buddy put down the things in his hands and walked over here.

"Hello! Are you traveling, or are you studying or working here?" Xia Yu greeted.It is also a lucky thing to be able to meet my fans abroad.

That buddy took out his mobile phone, and this group photo probably couldn't be escaped.

"Travel, I came last week. How about you, Brother Xia Yu! Can I take a photo with you?"

Just after finishing speaking, that buddy suddenly saw Fang Xing, and his eyes widened immediately: "My God! Fang Xing, boss Fang?"

Seeing Xu Qing and Yuanyuan's extremely depressed expressions, the audience in the live broadcast room almost collapsed from laughter.

This buddy is also weird, two beauties are in front of him, as if he didn't see him, he recognized two men without recognizing one, it's outrageous.

"Ahem! This is my younger sister Xu Qing. Since you know me, you should have seen her in the live broadcast room. And this is sister Yuanyuan, a big star." Fang Xing hurriedly reminded this buddy.

The young man was a little embarrassed, and smiled embarrassingly: "Sorry! I didn't pay much attention just now."

Then, everyone took a photo together.

"Boss Fang, you came just in time. Give me a look." After saying that, he pulled Fang Xing back to his original position and pointed at the antique on the counter.

The audience in the live broadcast room could tell that this guy was a straight man of steel.

"This thing, do you know what it's called?" Fang Xing asked.

"Jianzhan, used to drink tea in ancient times, seems to be more popular in the Song Dynasty." The young man blurted out.

Jianzhan mostly has a large mouth and small bottom, and some are shaped like a funnel; most of them have ring feet and the ring feet are relatively shallow.The shape is simple and vigorous, and the hand feel is generally heavy.

The Song Dynasty was the development period of Jian kiln, which was famous for firing black glaze wares.Famous glaze products such as rabbit hair spot, partridge spot, and Yaobian are produced here, and most of them are tea cups.

Most of the patterns and styles of other porcelain are derived from the superb skills of skilled craftsmen.The patterns of Jianzhan, in addition to the skills of craftsmen, are all formed naturally during the kiln firing process.

The black glaze has been brought into full play in the fire, transforming into a pattern of "unattainable but unattainable", presenting a situation of ever-changing and colorful patterns.

Each Jianzhan is a unique orphan, which makes people obsessed.

Among them, the most representative one is undoubtedly the Yaobian Tianmu tea bowl collected in Japan, which is regarded as the supreme national treasure by Japan and called "the universe in the bowl".

When exchanging national treasures before, Japan was unwilling to take them out.

"Judging from its performance, it should be called an oil drop lamp." Fang Xing said.

The glaze of the oil drop bowl is densely covered with small dots of silver-gray metallic luster, with a diameter ranging from a few millimeters to the size of a needle tip, resembling oil droplets.

The formation of "oil droplets" is actually caused by the enrichment of iron oxides on the glaze surface, and the precipitation of crystals in the form of hematite and magnetite after cooling.

Those with silver-white crystal spots on the black glaze are called "silver oil drops", and those with ochre-yellow crystal spots are called "golden oil drops".

"Moreover, it belongs to the silver oil drop in the oil drop cup. In ancient times, the value of the oil drop cup was ranked below that of the Yaobian spot Jian cup and above that of the rabbit hair cup."

There are records in ancient times: Yao Bianban Jianzhan is the supreme divine product, worth ten thousand pieces of silk; Oil Drop Banjian Jianzhan is the second most important treasure, worth five thousand pieces of silk; Rabbit hair cup is worth three thousand pieces of silk.

"Then this one..." The young man looked forward to it.

Fang Xing shook his head: "Unfortunately, it is a modern product. Of course, modern Jianzhan is not worthless, and there are also high-priced ones, but they are all famous works."

Each master has his own unique glaze and unique firing method, even the works of the same master are not nearly the same.Depending on the degree of fame of the writer, the price fluctuation will be relatively large, ranging from hundreds to thousands of dollars, or even tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands.

The preciousness of Jianzhan is mainly reflected in the difficulty of firing and the extremely low yield.

In recent years, porcelain collection has become popular, and Jianzhan has been favored by more and more collectors, and the market for Jianzhan is also becoming more and more popular.Compared with the relatively rare number of ancient Jianzhan that has been handed down to the present, it is not uncommon for modern Jianzhan to be sold at high prices at exhibitions.

Seeing that the young man was discouraged, Fang Xing said with a smile: "Actually, to play collections, you don't necessarily have to play popular collections. Unpopular collections have more room for appreciation. For example, you can bargain the price of those things."

Everyone looked in the direction of Fang Xing's finger and found that it was a folded map.

The young man took it over and opened it, "It looks like a nautical chart. Is this thing worth money?"

"Then you don't know. Old maps are also valuable now. Usually, the old maps of the Qing Dynasty are generally priced at 1 to 8 yuan, while the old maps of the middle and late Republic of China are generally priced at 2000 to 6000 yuan.

At present, in the auction market, the most expensive old map has sold for a sky-high price of more than 300 million. "

Map collection has existed since ancient times. As a national symbol, the territorial edition has been highly valued by the rulers of all dynasties. In the Han Dynasty of our country, there was already a special place for collecting and managing maps.

An exquisite map is also a work of art, which integrates design, printing, plate making, calligraphy, painting, seal cutting and other crafts, and is unique in terms of paper, color tone, layout design, expressive techniques, drawing precision, etc. , has a high ornamental value.

In addition, maps, like text, are historical records of a certain period. Its development is closely related to social progress. It can reflect historical changes, geographical features, cultural landscapes, and transportation construction at that time. It has inestimable significance for people to study history. In terms of function, the cultural relic value of the old map is definitely not inferior to other collections of the same era.

"This nautical chart is very finely drawn, and even marked dangerous areas such as reefs and pirates, as well as annotations. Looking at its age, it is from the end of the Ming Dynasty, which is very rare."

You must know that the old maps of the Qing Dynasty are already very old.

Generally speaking, the older the map, the stronger and rarer it is.For example, maps of the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China are relatively rare.

Nautical charts are special maps.It is this particularity that increases its collection value.

"In ancient times, nautical charts were hard to come by. It's difficult to say for sure if there are hundreds of thousands to hundreds of thousands of this one."

Speaking of this, the young man no longer hesitated, and acted decisively.

Although the things here have a price tag, it is not impossible to bargain.The price tag was $4, but that buddy cut it down to $[-].Although it is not cheap, it is converted into RMB [-] or [-], but in general, it is still a miss.
