My identity as a collector was exposed by the village flower

Chapter 83 Reward Jinsha River

"TV show? When?"

Fang Xing was taken aback for a moment. Having a TV program to interview would be good for the future development of Yunwu Village, so he would naturally not be disgusted.Anyway, I can't keep a low profile if I want to keep a low profile. These days, even the trending searches have been posted.

"Probably these two days! It's actually a program on CCTV to promote traditional culture. When people learn that you have treasures from the Old Summer Palace, treasures from Mogao Grottoes, and even a large number of cultural relics from Heishui City, they are interested." Zhao said. old explanation.

In fact, it should be said that the ancestors of the Fang family became interested.

These cultural relics are very important treasures and have great research value.For example, the relics of Heishui City, even the country does not have many collections, but the ancestors of the Fang family brought back a large number.

For these national treasures, they really want to use the form of programs to introduce their stories to the people.

"Okay, I'll try my best to cooperate." Fang Xing nodded.

At this time, the system also came to join in the fun: accepting interviews on TV programs and rewarding a section of the Jinsha River.

Fang Xing:? ?

Jinsha River?
This reward, seriously?

Now, can all the mines be rewarded?
Moreover, this section of the Jinsha River, should he be diverted to mining?
Fang Xing quickly checked the explanation: The Jinsha River is 200 meters long, it can be put into any river in the real world, and can produce a catty of golden sand every day.

Fang Xing frowned. In this case, it seems that the development value is not very high, right?

After thinking about it, Fang Xing had a calculation in his heart, and he knew how to use this section of the Jinsha River.

Since he wants to develop tourism, as long as this section of Jinsha River can be used well, it is definitely a good gimmick.

Not long after, the anchor named Liu Xing came to visit him.

"Arrangements in the town?" Fang Xing shook hands with him and asked.

Liu Xing seemed a little flattered, and nodded quickly: "The town government is very enthusiastic, and has arranged accommodation and so on. Moreover, before coming to Yunwu Village, we have already signed a contract."

"That's good. In the future, I will trouble you to pay more attention to the fruit sales in Baima Town."

"That's what it should be. I still have to rely on Baima Town for a meal!"

Liu Xing's attitude is somewhat flattering.

Fang Xing did not dislike this.As long as it is not to please others with malicious intentions, one should not be hostile to others.There is an old saying that goes well: Reach out and never hit a smiling face!
In the eyes of others, Liu Xing's behavior is like gaining power.If it is someone who can't get sand in his eyes, he won't like people like Liu Xing at first glance.

"Brother Fang, help me identify something too!" Liu Xing said suddenly.

Fang Xing was a little surprised, nodded: "No problem! Let's take a look."

Liu Xing took out a box from the suitcase, opened the box, and saw that there were several snuff bottles inside, and each snuff bottle was only a quarter of the size of a palm.

"This isn't your family heirloom, is it?" Fang Xing couldn't help asking.

"Ahem! I'm not that thick-skinned. To be honest, this belongs to my grandfather. He is very interested in snuff bottles, so he has collected a lot of them. There may be dozens if not a hundred!" Liu Xing said simply. said a few words.

After his grandfather passed away, he also received a batch of his grandfather's relics, namely these snuff bottles.

Fang Xing picked up one and looked at it for a while.

Snuff bottle refers to a container for snuff, which is small enough to be held in hand and easy to carry.At the end of Ming Dynasty and the beginning of Qing Dynasty, snuff was introduced into China, and snuff boxes were gradually orientalized, resulting in snuff bottles.

People's habit of using snuff is almost extinct, but the snuff bottle has been handed down as a kind of exquisite art, and it has been prosperous for a long time.

Snuff bottles, as exquisite handicrafts, are made of porcelain, copper, ivory, jade, agate, amber and other materials, using techniques such as blue and white, multicolored, carved porcelain, nesting, ingenious work, and inner painting, absorbing the advantages of various crafts at home and abroad , is regarded as a precious literary play by elegant lovers.

"This snuff bottle was originally introduced from the West. However, the level of foreigners playing it is very low. After it was introduced to China, it was played well." Fang Xing introduced.

The reason why snuff bottles are valued is that in addition to their practicality, they also have the functions of gift giving and status symbol. Although they have only 300 years of history since the Qing Dynasty, they have been favored by both Chinese and Western people because of their small size and exquisiteness, which are easy to play with. Favored by museums and collection circles, it has become one of the important items of modern Chinese cultural relics.

"It's strange. People in the Qing Dynasty still had the habit of smoking snuff, but now they don't see it anymore." Liu Xing felt strange.

"Hehe! It is true that few people take snuff anymore. In fact, this custom did not come from Europe at first, but from the Indians, the inventors of tobacco."

After finishing speaking, Fang Xing handed him the snuff bottle in his hand: "This snuff bottle is not bad. It's an object from the late Qing Dynasty. It's made of amber. It's very interesting to carve."

In ancient China, amber was considered to be the soul of a tiger that turned into stone after death, and another said it was "tiger's tears".

In fact, amber is an organic mixture formed by geological processes from the resin of coniferous plants from the Mesozoic Cretaceous to the Cenozoic Tertiary.

"You see there's a leaf in there, and at first glance, one might think it was painted in."

Liu Xing was stunned for a moment: "Isn't it?"

He also checked the information on snuff bottles and knew that many snuff bottles had inner murals, which was the essence of snuff bottles.

Fang Xing shook his head: "The leaf inside is a real leaf, it has been sealed inside for a long time, and it has become a specimen."

He explained that the interior of amber sometimes contains specimens of plants or insects, which is an important reason why amber is so popular.
