Chapter 227 Buying Jade is Risky

"Little brother, since Gu Gu asked you to talk, you can talk about it." The man who handed the cigarette to Wang Haoming just now said.

Wang Haoming hesitated for a moment. He also knew the specific way of Gu Yu's game, but it was just a theoretical thing. If he said something wrong, it would be ridiculous.

But this time it is also difficult to ride a tiger, Wang Haoming thought for a while, and said bravely: "Panyu's method was taught by an elder, a boy, so I will share it with everyone. If there is anything that I don't understand, please correct me. "

Let’s not talk about jadeite and other jadeite jade, let’s talk about nephrite jade. If you are lucky enough to find unearthed jade articles that have not been played with yet, it is best not to start playing with them right away.

Instead, soak it in clear water for [-] days first. If it is a new pit, it is just unearthed jade. The temperature of the water should be around [-] or [-] degrees.

Egg white-like mucus will ooze out of the jade after soaking, which can also be called the patina of the jade.In fact, everyone knows that this patina refers to the shiny oxide layer formed on the surface of antique utensils during long-term storage and handling.

Some friends will use a toothbrush to clean the jade after soaking it, and will find a rope to pass it on the next day to wear and play.

It is actually inappropriate to do this. After you take out the jade, don’t clean up the mucus. Instead, put the jade in a ventilated and cool place for 1 to 2 months, and let it dry on the surface of the jade. Jade will become more smooth and shiny, which is called patina, and also called treasure pulp.

At this time, the jade can be worn on the body again.Gentlemen can find a better red rope to tie around their waists, but girls are a little more troublesome, especially when they wear skirts in summer, there is no place to put them.

Wang Haoming's words caused laughter all around, and there were more guests coming and going in the hotel, unexpectedly, the sandy area was surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside, and some people outside did not know the situation. Inside, they squeezed desperately.

"Youngest, do you think we should also charge a fee, ha ha." Seeing such a grand occasion, Zhang Gan joked with Wang Haoming.

"What's the good thing to think about? If it's ancient, then the fee should be charged." Wang Haoming curled his lips, thinking that as soon as he finished speaking, there would be critics.

"Young man, don't chat, what else is taboo about this jade, let's talk about it together."Seeing Wang Haoming chatting with the people next to him, the crowd of onlookers became noisy.

"It's nothing else, everyone knows that Panyu, to put it bluntly, is to nourish the jade with the fat of the human body, so that the jade can get rid of the dry stone nature and become oily "jade". But this kind of fat is not the tip of the nose, forehead Sweat and oil stains on the surface, some people feel that this place is oily, so they will rub it with jade objects, this is a big taboo, everyone, please don't do this."

"When you play with jade with your hands, you must wash your hands. If the weather is like this, it's best to soak the jade in clean water every other week or two."

"By the way, some friends who are in the jade business, especially in Guangdong and Hong Kong, like to use metallographic sandpaper to polish and polish jade, and especially like to use metallographic sandpaper to polish ancient jade that has lost its luster. This method is a bit eager for quick success. , It seems to have a quick effect, but in fact it is very harmful. It will seriously damage the vitality of the ancient jade, and the unique dignified and old patina on the surface of the ancient jade will disappear. "

When Wang Haoming said this, several people in the crowd had resentful expressions on their faces, and they seemed to be the jade merchants Wang Haoming mentioned.

Merchants seek profit. This method is very effective in fooling some people who have just started playing with ancient jade, and it can also be sold at a high price. However, ancient jade that has been polished with metallographic sandpaper is basically considered useless.

"It takes three to five years for a piece of jade to be put together, so how can it be considered done?" Someone in the crowd asked.

"Hehe, let's talk about the jade that has been panned, which is called cooked jade. Generally, it is not very serious in the soil. The unearthed ancient jade is not too bad. After one or two years of panning, it can be basically cooked, but Some ancient jades that have been severely eroded or of poor jade quality will take longer."

As long as the whole body of the jade is oily and delicate, and the surface is covered with paste, it can be regarded as cooked jade.

In fact, the effect of playing jade is also closely related to the texture of the jade itself. Some jade and stones have excellent fineness and whiteness, and they become as moist as suet after carving and polishing. Hand toy, the same reason.

There are also some very stony jades, which are as dry as stones even after several years of hand-handling. However, when we talk about getting out of earthy jade, hand-handling is a must.

After Wang Haoming finished speaking in one breath, he turned his eyes to the old man and said, "Gu, I'm so empty, please tell me a few words."

What Wang Haoming said was the truth. Uncle Rong taught him so much, and if he continued, it would reveal his truth.

As soon as the words fell, everyone around inside looked at the old man.

Gu Gu is a younger generation who pays great attention to supporting the jade industry. He used to go to various jade associations to give lectures or teach apprentices. Many people know him.

But in recent years, Gu Gu has grown older, and he seldom goes out to give lectures or attend various jade fairs. Today, it is a great opportunity for everyone to have the opportunity to hear Gu Gu comment on jade.

"You brat, you actually used me as a shield."

Seeing everyone's expectant eyes, Gu Gu smiled and scolded Wang Haoming, and then untied a piece of jade from his waist.

"The way of ancient jade is more popular now is to use the combination of fast and slow disks. Just now Xiao Wang also said that almost no one has tried Italian disks. But old man, I got a piece of good jade when I was young. This I have been using the method of Yi Pan for decades, so let me tell you about my experience of Yi Pan.”

As soon as Gu Gu's words came out, the four were shocked immediately. Wang Haoming had mentioned the difficulty of Yi Pan before, and also explained that Yi Pan is almost a legendary game. I didn't expect Gu Gu to pass down this kind of pan method.

Being able to hear Gu's teaching experience with their own ears, everyone felt that the trip was worthwhile, and they began to discuss in low voices, and their eyes were fixed on the jade in Gu's hand.

While speaking, Gu Gu handed the piece of jade in his hand to Wang Haoming, and said, "Everyone knows the eight words "sincere feeling, gold and stone are opened". In fact, this sentence comes from the method of ancient jade, The ancients said such a passage: rubbing it from time to time, imagining that the virtue of jade is enough to transform my temperament, to be kind to my disposition, to make my whole life pure and not blinded by selfish desires, to feel sincerely, to open gold and stone.”

"I have had this jade plate for nearly 40 years. Now as long as I hold it in my hand, I feel that I and this jade are connected by blood. This jade seems to have life and breathe. The old man I have experienced a lot of ups and downs, but as long as I have this piece of jade in my hand, I will calm down, and I personally think that this is the effect brought by the meaning plate."

The words of the old man made everyone look at the piece of jade in Wang Haoming's hand, and there was no lack of envy in their eyes. From the old eyes, the quality of the jade must not be bad. A piece of jade has been placed for 40 years. Its own value can almost be called a priceless treasure.

The old man took out this piece of jade pendant, which was small in size, only the size of a child's palm. A strange beast was engraved on the front of the jade pendant.

It has short wings, two feet on the dragon head, a horse body, and unicorn feet. It looks like a mighty lion, with protruding eyes and long fangs in its mouth.

Wang Haoming recognized this shape, it should be Pixiu, but what surprised Wang Haoming was the color of this piece of jade.

Holding it in his hand, Wang Haoming carefully distinguished it, and there were actually six kinds of color.

One must know that color changes are acquired. Ancient jades with two or three colors are relatively common, while jades with more than four colors are extremely rare. Ancient jade with five colors can be called a priceless treasure.

This jade pendant actually has six shades, no wonder the ancient master would cultivate jade with intentional plate method.

Tied to the jade pendant was a deep red rope tied with a Chinese knot. Wang Haoming pulled it forcefully, feeling very strong.

"Gu Gu, is this a piece of warm jade?" Wang Haoming held the piece of jade and felt a burst of warmth and slippery in his hand, he couldn't help but asked the old man.

"Yes, this is the warm jade produced in Lantian. It is of high quality. I got it by accident when I was young. It has been with me for more than 40 years. Although I have played with other jades in these years, this one has never been seen. In other words, hehe, I have relied on it many times to drive away evil spirits and seek refuge, turning danger into good luck."

The old saying made the young people of today quite disapproving. It is just a legend that this jade can ward off evil spirits. I have never heard of anyone who wears a piece of jade on his body and will be free from disease and disaster.

"Ancient, I heard that five kinds of colored jade are rarely seen, and I have never heard of these six colored jades."

"Hehe, don't say you haven't heard of it. Not many people have seen Liuseqin ancient jade. There are more than 3 pieces of ancient jade hidden in the Palace Museum, and Liuseqin can't find a few pieces."

When Gu Gu talked about this, he couldn't help showing a smug look on his face.

"This piece of ancient jade is from the third generation. When I got it in my hands, it was not unearthed for a long time. The surface color is similar to lime, and the texture is like mud. The jade color can't be seen in the bright light. Now it can barely be counted. It's ripe. This red spot is commonly known as the baby's face."

Gu Gu took the jade pendant from Wang Haoming and rubbed it in his hand lovingly.

"Gu Gu, how much is your piece of jade worth?" The boss, a layman, asked the price immediately, but this was what everyone wanted to know, and they all pricked up their ears.

"Hehe, this jade has been with me for decades. If you bring a golden mountain, I won't change it,"

The old man replied with a smile, but he didn't specify the real price of this jade pendant.The boss who listened cursed secretly in his heart: old fox.

"Old man, we can't reach the realm of this meaning plate, can you tell me about the identification method of this ancient jade? I have been playing with jade for several years, and I spent a lot of money. None of the ancient jades I bought are real. Yes. The water in this jade business is too deep."

A voice came out from the crowd, and everyone who heard it nodded their heads. Among the people present, including those jade merchants, none of them had bought fake jade by mistake.

"Most of the ancient jade in the antique market is fake now, and the price of real ancient jade is very high. I don't agree with people who are new to the industry to play with ancient jade. It's hard to find good things. It's just a waste of money. It also made me feel bad."

"Not long ago, a large number of imitations of the Warring States and Han Dynasty jade wares suddenly appeared on the market. Like jade chariots and horsemen, jade chimes, jade walking sticks, and jade horn cups. Some people spent hundreds of thousands , and some people spent several million to buy this batch of jade articles."

"Old man, it must be fake, right?" Someone in the crowd laughed.

"That's right, what's more, I bought six sets of golden jade clothes by myself. It didn't take long for these things to appear in the antique market continuously. And they are getting cheaper and cheaper, so there is no need to use them for appraisal. , I know it's a fake, so don't bother looking for ancient jade, otherwise you might be the next person to buy fake jade."

The old man's words immediately caused a burst of laughter from the onlookers.

Gu Gu waved his hand, waited until the surroundings became quiet, and said, "Everyone, don't laugh, let alone outsiders, even insiders often punch eyes. The batch of counterfeit Gao Guyu mentioned just now happened when I was alone. Things in the lives of old friends."

"It was a doctoral student brought by an old friend of mine. He majored in Kaofeng and museums. The young man often went to antique shops to pick out this small object. Last year, he saw a batch of ancient jade in a shop. There are jade barriers, jade knives, jade bi, jade huang, jade horn cups and other objects."

"According to the owner of the shop, these jade wares date from the Han Dynasty. Some even date back to the Shang and Zhou Dynasties. Especially some of the wares inside. Such as jade horn cups, jade bi, jade huang, etc. belong to the typical jade wares of the Han Dynasty."
