My identity as a collector was exposed by the village flower

Chapter 368 Presented Fasting Card

"You guys do it first."

After finishing speaking, Boss Qiu went inside again.

Expert Liang is on the phone to help find a buyer.

In fact, Fang Xing who was sitting next to him was a great collector, but everyone knew about Fang Xing's situation. He had so many treasures that an auction house could continuously auction them off, so naturally he didn't have the idea of ​​buying them at a high price.

Not long after, Boss Qiu came out with several signs and distributed them to Fang Xing and the others.

"Everyone helped me a lot today. This small gesture is not a respect, so please don't dislike it." Boss Qiu said with a smile.

I saw that these signs were all made of jade, but obviously, the one for Fang Xing was much better.Everyone was not jealous, after all what Fang Xing said just now was the key.

Others, such as Xu Qing and the others, were all blessed by Fang Xing.

"Boss Qiu, you are too polite." Everyone said one after another.

For such a brand, everyone didn't think much about it, but seeing that Boss Qiu gave it with a firm attitude, they didn't refuse and accepted it generously.

"This fasting sign, I've heard of it, is a warning sign used in ancient Chinese fasting rituals." Xia Yu said while playing with the sign.

Most people will associate it with Buddhism when they hear these two words.Yes, this is indeed a relatively common religious custom in Buddhism.

The word "fast" means to calm the anxiety and mania in the heart, and "jie" means to get rid of one's own desires and make them meet the needs of practice.

Buddhism has always been a major religious sect in history in our country, so fasting activities can also be traced back, and its development and evolution are also the epitome of our country's religious culture. The "fasting card" was born from this. According to research, the first appearance of the fasting card was in the Ming Dynasty.

However, there are no fasting cards that have been preserved to this day.

The heyday of fasting cards was during the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty.Emperor Yongzheng felt very afraid of his superiority, so he devoted himself to fasting, hoping that the gods could give him a sense of security.

After Yongzheng came to power, he vigorously promoted the fasting system and the use of fasting cards.He even moved all the utensils needed for the sacrifice to the palace, and set up a special palace called "Zhai Palace". All ministers participating in the sacrifice must wear fasting cards as a warning.

Fasting signs can be made of various materials, such as gold, jade, porcelain, agate...etc.Most of the fasting signs will have the word fast engraved on them, but some don't.

Fang Xing held up his piece and said, "This piece is actually from the Ming Dynasty."

"Mr. Fang really has a good eye, he saw through it right away." Boss Qiu admired.

The fasting card from the Ming Dynasty was obtained by him at a flea market more than ten years ago.Since then, it has been regarded as a treasure.If Fang Xing hadn't solved such a big trouble for him, he wouldn't have given it away.
You must know that almost all of the fasting signs handed down from the Qing Dynasty, and none from the Ming Dynasty.

Rare is precious!

"It's a bit too expensive." Fang Xing deliberately wanted to decline.

It is carved from suet jade. Judging from the craftsmanship of the carving, the person who carved it should be a master jade carving. It is slightly hollowed out and has complex patterns.

On one side, there are two big characters of "fasting" in the middle, and two lines of small characters on both sides.

On the other side is a carved plum blossom, which should be worn by ancient women.

Among other things, just this top-quality mutton fat jade is worth a lot of money, two to thirty-one grams.

Sheep fat jade is a gem-grade material in Hetian jade. Its toughness and wear resistance are the strongest among jades. It has been buried in the soil for thousands of years without being completely stained.It is the best quality pure white in white jade, with the best luster and texture.

People have paid great attention to it since ancient times, and it is the best among jades and very precious.

The most expensive piece of mutton fat jade carving in history is a jade pot, which was sold for a sky-high price of more than 7000 million.There are millions of suet jade ornaments, too numerous to count.

The small piece that Boss Qiu presented to Fang Xing is definitely worth more than 100 million.

"Don't refuse, I don't have any other good things here." Boss Qiu said quickly.

Indeed, he sells the more valuable ones these days to raise as much money as possible.

"In that case, thank you Boss Qiu."

Expert Liang has already finished a phone call.

"Old Qiu, there are people in China who want to take a look."

Just as Fang Xing said, there are really people interested in this unique Yuan blue and white.

"Thank God!" Boss Qiu heaved a sigh of relief.

"Besides, if it is genuine Yuan blue and white, it won't pressure you on the price." Expert Liang added.

There are many rich people in China now, and many rich people are willing to invest in antique collections.It is precisely this that has created the prosperity of the Chinese art auction market in the past ten years.

Just now, he called a coal boss.

The former coal boss is a special name for the rich in China.

Today, coal bosses are gradually fading out of view, and the bigwigs of the Internet refresh the rich list time and time again.But it cannot be denied that the coal boss is still powerful.

The coal boss also likes to collect. Over the years, Expert Liang has also been his palm eye, and he has collected a lot of things.

Just now people said that as long as Yuan blue and white are real, they can be purchased at a price of more than 5000 million yuan.

"So I suggest that you simply bring this blue and white piece of Yuan Dynasty to the hotel where we are staying and let Mr. Zhao and the others have a look. With Mr. Zhao's guarantee, it is basically guaranteed."

Boss Qiu nodded when he heard the words: "Okay, I will visit later, and I need Lao Liang to introduce you. I have never met Zhao Lao, and I don't know each other."

"It's a trivial matter! Mr. Zhao should be very happy to see you. You also know that Mr. Zhao has been recovering cultural relics that have been lost overseas these years. You have also made contributions in this regard. To a certain extent, you can also be called For a confidant." Expert Liang laughed.

Afterwards, he asked again: "You also sold the Yongzhu Zisha teapot made by Gu Jingzhou?"

It can be said that it is the treasure of this store.

Although Gu Jingzhou is a modern person, he has made great achievements in pot art, with superb skills and a wide range of materials.It can be said that he is the most accomplished potter in modern times, and his reputation is comparable to Shi Dabin in the Ming Dynasty. He is known as "the master of a generation" and "the master of pot art".

In the auction history of purple clay teapots, seven of the top ten purple clay teapots are his works.

Its influence can be imagined, and it simply dominates the auction market of purple clay teapots.

"It's sold for $150 million." Boss Qiu smiled wryly.

This price is a little low. If you are not in such a hurry and find an auction house, you can sell more than 1000 million yuan.

"Only $150 million? What a pity." Expert Liang shook his head slightly.

In his opinion, if the bamboo-chanting teapot is auctioned in China, it is possible to fetch more than RMB 500 million.
