What is an orphan product?

Unparalleled in the world, unique in the world!

But it’s not just anyone who opens his mouth and says that an orphan is an orphan.

Not to mention this young man, not even He Anbang...

Wen Youquan shook his head: "I don't believe it!"

I'm not prepared for you to believe it.

It's written in black and white, the money and goods have been paid, whether this thing is worth one yuan or 100 million, it has nothing to do with Wen Youquan.

There is no need to explain, it is Lao Hefei who is looking for trouble and wants to make you unhappy...

Li Ding'an sighed and clicked on the machine under the porcelain statue:

"This is a devitrification instrument. Mr. Wen should know it. Its main function is to detect the transformation process, duration, and natural environment of the glaze from a disordered meta-stable state to an ordered stable state...

In short: is it natural aging or is it aged in the later period? Is it a tomb item or a hand-me-down item... Once the test is done, it will be clear at a glance..."

"There is also this one. This is an energy dispersive fluorescence analyzer. It was only used for art identification and dating two years ago. Mr. Wen may not be impressed. The main function is to detect isotopic elements. To put it bluntly: it can detect this bottle of white Compare the various data of the porcelain Guanyin with the porcelain statue from the National Museum to see if the glaze, body quality, craftsmanship, etc. are consistent...

And when it was fired, when it was put into the ground, the soil environment when it was put into the ground, when it was unearthed, the storage environment after being unearthed, etc... and further: where was it dug, when was it dug..."

Technology that only existed two years ago?

I really haven't heard of it...

Wen Youquan was stunned for a moment: "What is the test result?"

"It's not done yet!"

"You haven't even done any experiments yet, and you're talking so much?"

"So it's just speculation for the time being. Mr. Wen doesn't need to worry!"

What the hell am I not worried about?

It would have been okay not to say so, but the more indifferent Li Dingan was, the more uncomfortable Wen Youquan felt, as if he had eaten a fly.

Having worked in antiques for most of his life, he knows very well what it means if the glaze, texture, soil quality, and craftsmanship are the same: the same kiln mouth, the same porcelain clay, or even fired at the same time...

He thought for a while: "What's the origin of the National Museum piece?"

"Imperial porcelain of the Qing Dynasty was fired in the imperial kiln... In September of the third year of Yongzheng's reign, a golden dome was added to the Ganden Temple, the ancestral altar of the Yellow Sect of Tantric Buddhism, as a gift from Yongzheng!"

"What about this one?"

"The burial objects of Nian, the noble concubine of Emperor Dunsu of Yongzheng... She died in November of the third year of Yongzheng!"

There is only two months difference between the two bottles of Guanyin?

Wen Youquan's heart trembled: "I haven't done any testing yet, how do you know?"

Li Ding'an was startled: There is no way to talk today?

He spread his hands: "I guessed it!"

Just because of his looks?

Did you do this on purpose?

Wen Youquan felt even more uncomfortable.

Reason told him that the young man was lying, but there was a vague intuition: it may be true.

Because they spent 100 million.

No matter who this money belongs to, it couldn't have been brought by the strong wind, just to give He Anbang a sigh of relief?

After a long time, he managed to squeeze out a smile: "It doesn't matter whether they are consistent or not!"

"Old Wen, why don't you do a test on site?"

He Anbang was worried, "Soon, half an hour at most!"

I'll be your mother!

What if it's true?

There are only two gifts from Yongzheng in the world. I dare not say hundreds of millions, but it is easy to say 30 to 50 million.

But what was the previous price tag?

He looked at Fu Bin with a cold face: "How much did it cost?"

"Six...six hundred and fifty thousand...but several experts have seen it and they all said it is an ordinary Guanyin statue..."

"What did the second child say at first?"

Fu Bin's forehead was sweating and he was stammering and speechless!

When Mr. Xiao Wen sent it, he mentioned that it probably came from Xiling. To put it another way: imperial porcelain of the Qing Dynasty.

But many experts were invited and they all said something was wrong.

First, the shape of the vessel is wrong: it is more than half a meter tall and weighs more than sixty pounds. Such a large statue will never be used as a display porcelain, but will only be provided in temples.

Second, there is no evidence to test: there are no records of this type of porcelain statues in the "Illustrations of Imperial Ritual Vessels" and "The Huidian of the Qing Dynasty".

Third, there is no relevant vessel shape handed down from generation to generation. The so-called isolated evidence is difficult to test and cannot be established. There is no basis for reference. What kind of expert dares to refer to this thing as imperial porcelain?

The glaze, leather shell, and soil are all consistent with the characteristics of the Qing Dynasty, so I finally concluded that it was a Tantric Buddha statue fired in a private kiln during the Qing Dynasty!

Because this kind of Guanyin shape can only be found in Tibetan esoteric Buddhism.

Esoteric cultural relics are inherently niche, and the shape of this thing is so explicit: almost naked, revealing sexual appearance, and there is no money or record, and the origin cannot be verified, so it was speculated twice in a row but did not become popular.

The price of 650,000 yuan has been bid for more than two years, and few people have asked about it.

But who would have thought that the National Museum also has one?

Six hundred and fifty thousand, thirty to fifty million... what is the difference between them?

The key point is: it was because of this thing that the two sides had a misunderstanding, which led to the current mess.

The more important thing is: Xiaoman is ready to evict people. Is it because he is greedy and sells this thing again?

"It's okay, at least there's no compensation..." Wen Youquan breathed out hard, "Is there anything else?"

"Have!"

He Anbang nodded heavily and pointed at the end, "This!"

Wen Youquan looked at it carefully: Fire Qilin?

Another large vessel in the shape: more than sixty centimeters high, with a base diameter of thirty centimeters, a single horn on the top of the head, front legs stretched forward, and hind legs squatting, forming a semi-erect shape.

"What's wrong with this one?"

"Same as the white porcelain Guanyin."

"What's the same?"

do not understand?

"There is also one in the National Museum of China, and it was also an orphan before!"

fart……

Wen Youquan said "ha": He Anbang, do you want to make something similar?

Is it possible that all of them are unique?

He even suspected that the previous Guanyin statue was also made up by He Anbang...

He Anbang smiled and took out his mobile phone: "Come on, Lao Wen, look!"

What to look at?

Wen Youquan glanced subconsciously.

It is an image: like being in an exhibition hall, the hall is wide and silent.

The camera slowly circles around, and the porcelain statue reflects the soft light: with bare breasts, bare legs and bare feet, a graceful figure, and a charming expression...it is no different from the bottle in front of you.

The scene then turned, and a bottle of red porcelain unicorn appeared: one horn and four melons, squatting in front and back, covered with red fish scales... Again, no matter the shape, color, or even size, it was no different from the bottle in front of you.

It was still shot from all angles, from front to back, from beginning to end... At the end of the video, Wen Youquan saw the label in front of the porcelain beast:

Sacrifice the red dragon!

Qing Dynasty! Unearthed from the Yuling Mausoleum of Qing Dynasty in Dongling Manchu Township, Zunhua City, TS City, HEB Province!

National Museum "Ancient China" Exhibition Hall!

Here is a detailed price guide: Jihong, also known as Jihong and ruby ​​red, was founded in the late Yuan Dynasty and matured in the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty. It is named after the porcelain used in the sacrificial altar.

Luduan: Chinese mythical beast, which was first recorded in "Historical Records". It was called a one-horned unicorn in the Song Dynasty's "Kaiyuan Zhanjing·Beast Divination". In the Ming Dynasty, Yongle moved the capital, and a pair of copper Luduan were cast. They are now in the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Forbidden City.

Emperor Tai Chi of the Qing Dynasty founded the country, and a pair of them were cast in bronze and are now in the Chongzheng Hall of the Forbidden City in Shenyang. Shunzhi Dingdu BJ, a pair of cast bronzes, placed in the Qianqing Palace... Later it was lost overseas, one is now collected in the Metropolitan Museum of America, and the other is missing...

It was unearthed from the Yuling Mausoleum of Qianlong Emperor... It was purchased from Japan by the "Secret Acquisition of Cultural Relics Group" of the State Administration of Cultural Heritage in the 1950s. It is the only porcelain tomb beast from the Tang Dynasty onwards...

The whole text does not use any modifiers or adjectives, it is plain and straightforward, ordinary and unremarkable, but Wen Youquan’s eyelids jumped as he read:

Sacrifice red, perform sacrifices... royal sacrificial vessels!

The Hall of Supreme Harmony, the Hall of Chongzheng, the Palace of Qianqing... the Golden Palace of the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Qianlong Yuling...

Also at the back: Yes, porcelain animal figures.

The thing was collected by himself. Wen Youquan also doubted it at the time: This thing is so red and has such a correct color, could it be a sacrificial vessel?

But experts all say it's impossible.

Just like the white porcelain Guanyin: the shape of the vessel is wrong.

What is a sacrificial vessel?

First the utensils, then the sacrifices: cups, bowls, bottles, plates, jars, pots, washers, urns, lamps, honors!

I have never heard of a completely animal-shaped sacrificial vessel. At most, it only contains part of it: animal patterns, animal ears, animal feet, animal cover... But in the final analysis, the main body must be in the shape of a practical utensil.

He also wondered whether it was a gatekeeper or a tomb beast. Experts also said it was impossible.

First, the regulations are wrong. There are only three people who are qualified to use unicorns to guard gates or guard tombs: the emperor, the queen mother, and the empress.

The second is the texture: porcelain is easy to break, which is unlucky. Even if it is not made of copper and cast iron, it is at least made of stone... it cannot be porcelain anyway.

The most critical thing is that there is no evidence or evidence to test: there is neither relevant records nor unearthed cases, it is exactly the same as the white porcelain Guanyin...

No, it's not as good as a white porcelain Guanyin. At least that thing can find some provenance and people can burn it casually.

But what about this one?

Qilin, auspicious beast, and utensils are so big. Which folk kiln dares to bake such things?

Aren't you afraid of having your home confiscated and executed?

Therefore, experts finally concluded that it was a fabrication from the Republic of China period.

The price is lower: 280,000.

But now?

Qianlong Yuling Mausoleum, the only porcelain auspicious beast and tomb-suppressing beast after the Tang Dynasty... Is the shape of the vessel so big?

All attributes related to the word "precious" seem to be stacked up?

Compared with it, the white porcelain Guanyin is nothing: at least in "hundred million"...

Suddenly, he remembered what he had just said: At least there was no compensation?

I didn’t even apologize... Really, Wen Youquan even had the urge to smash this thing on the spot...

He held back his anger: "Where's the origin? Is it also Yu Ling?"

Li Ding'an shook his head: "No!"

It’s okay if it’s not…

He took a deep breath, but stopped halfway.

"Tailing, Longen Hall!"

Wen Youquan was stunned for a moment: "You fart!"

There was a buzz all around and the pot exploded.

Tailing is the tomb of Yongzheng, and Longen Hall is the main hall of Tailing.

One above ground, one underground, one yang and one yin.

In addition to stone figures, stone horses, and stone beasts, there was only a stone-carved silk burning furnace on the ground.

We don’t know what’s in the underground one yet, because it hasn’t been excavated yet. The State Administration of Cultural Heritage has conducted several searches and found no signs of excavation.

So far, no cultural relics related to Tailing have been found.

Then where did this Luduan figure come from?

"Director He, have you ever been tested?"

He Anbang shook his head: "Not yet!"

Director Shen was startled, blinked, and looked back and forth at He Anbang and Li Ding'an.

You haven't done any testing yet, how dare you say that Tailing was stolen?

Believe it or not, the Cultural Relics Bureau is giving you trouble?

"What's the basis?"

He Anbang looked at Li Ding'an, and Li Ding'an pointed at the two experimental groups: "Waiting for the results!"

What results are you waiting for, those sets of experiments you just did?

Aren’t they all Tantric cultural relics? What does they have to do with Tailing?

Just as he was thinking about it, Ma Xianming came over with two pages of paper: "Teacher Li, we have a conclusion!"

Everyone was refreshed: Just tell them the result, and the result will come?

Wen Youquan looked suspicious: Ma Xianming was the director of the National Museum, and he reported to He Anbang. What should I do with him?

What’s even weirder is: also call him teacher?

Just as he was wondering, there was a "wow" sound, and He Anbang snatched the report away.

After glancing at it twice, he smiled "ha" and handed the paper to Ma Xianming: "Old Ma, read it!"

"Okay...No. 22, application technology: laser electron microscope scanning, energy spectrum analysis, the test results are as follows:

Category: Tibetan Buddhist instruments.

Shape: Spoon shape.

Material: copper.

Decoration: crystal wheel, moon wheel, worry-free flower...

Manufacturing year: mid-Qing Dynasty.

Attribution interval: 300-350 years ago.

Technique: Lost wax method, Yinxian gold etching.

Composition: copper, tin, lead... consistent with the bronzes from the Kangxi to Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty.

Comparative objects: the Qing Dynasty Yonghe Palace copper rod and gold steel pestle collected by the National Museum, the Qing Dynasty Yuanmingyuan Fahui Temple copper incense burner collected by the Forbidden City...

Excavation age range: 30-35 years. The composition of the rusty soil is consistent with the soil quality of Yongning Mountain in Lianggezhuang, Yixian County, BD City. The main rust layer, bottom rust layer and surface oxides are consistent with the bronzes unearthed from Chongling of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty. …”

"The brass flower goblet... applied technology, X-ray analysis... the identification results are as follows: it was cast in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, and the unearthed age range is 30-35 years... The rust soil and bottom rust layer are consistent with Chongling bronze...

Five-color porcelain statue, devitrification and fluorescence analysis, fired in the mid-Qing Dynasty, unearthed 30-35 years ago... Yuchan, mid-Qing dynasty, unearthed 30-35 years ago... Porcelain unearthed from Tubi and Chongling Consistent..."

Ma Xian was clear and loud, but everyone's expressions became more and more weird: Yongning Mountain refers to the Qingxi Tomb, and Guangxu Chongling is also the Qingxi Tomb.

The rusty soil is consistent, the rust layer is consistent, and even the soil on the surface of the jade is consistent, which means that the burial place of these things is the Qingxi Mausoleum.

The problem is the year of excavation: thirty to thirty-five years.

In 1938, Chongling was robbed and excavated. In 1980, the Cultural Relics Bureau conducted a protective cleanup, forty-three years ago... which means that these things cannot be Guangxu's burial objects.

The key thing is: Relevant units have conducted research several times, and they all say that among the Western Tombs of the Qing Dynasty, only the Guangxu Chongling Tomb has been excavated!

So where do these things come from?

It’s hard to be sure for now, but one thing is: not only Chongling, but other tombs in Xiling were also stolen, and it was after the founding of the People’s Republic of China!

Combined with what Li Ding'an just said: Yongzheng's Tailing Mausoleum, Long'en Hall!

Everyone looked at each other in confusion, not knowing how to describe their mood at this time.

In shock, someone shouted: It has never been robbed, and it has been verified several times?

That's awesome, Director He, are you showing off to the State Administration of Cultural Heritage? (End of chapter)
