I'm really the king of leaks

Chapter 51 The Nine-Eyed Dzi Bead of the Ming Dynasty
Leave Cuiwei Washington Mansion.

As usual, Zhang Yi first went to the ancient streets of the old city.

There is a morning market on the side of the ancient street, so I stopped by for a stroll.It just so happened that Zhang Yi also had doubts. He didn't quite know how many times a day his current appraisal and repair ability was.

Pick and identify along the street.

As a result, the results of the first three appraisals were all fakes.

Moreover, he chose all porcelain.

For such a popular category, the chance of counterfeiting is too high, so at the fourth chance, he decided to change direction and look at some jade wares.

In terms of jade, the jade before the Ming Dynasty is called ancient jade.

The jade articles before the Han Dynasty are called Gaoguyu.

As for Gao Guyu, because of its age, it tends to calcify.Many people believe that this calcification has seriously affected the beauty that jade should have.

Therefore, the market for high ancient jade was not very hot in the past.

but.

In recent years, Gao Guyu has gradually been valued in the market.

Because the cultural value and historical value of high ancient jade are higher, and after wearing and playing with hands, those parts that have been affected by calcification will gradually reappear in the phenomenon of jade.

In addition, high ancient jade often has a color, which makes the beauty of high ancient jade even more simple and unique.

On the street stalls in the old city, there are quite a few objects in the shape of high ancient jade. Of course, most of them are imitations.

After careful selection.

Zhang Yi stared at a piece of jade.

It is about ten centimeters in diameter, which is not a small size.Moreover, on both sides of the jade bi, there are two Chilongs carved in high relief, which are quite unique in shape.

Moreover, from the surface, there are some calcifications and coloring.

Good condition, seems genuine.

Thinking of this, he placed the index finger of his right hand on the jade disc.

"Excuse me, is it authenticated?"

Zhang Yi thought to himself.

"Identify!"

"Warring States Chilong High Relief Jade Bi with Grain Patterns."

"On the surface, this jade bi is in line with the characteristics of high ancient jade. It has chicken bone white, grain patterns, and bloody color, and its shape is also ancient and clumsy."

"However, this kind of chicken bone white is grilled with fire in modern times. It has slight cracks. Real chicken bone white will not have such cracks. Although the grain patterns are hand-carved, they lack the grain patterns of the Warring States jade bi It is ancient and clumsy, and there are obvious traces of modern hand-carved tools. In addition, the blood on the jade is a mud mixed with pig blood and loess, and the jade is buried in it. It can be formed within a few years. See It looks very natural and bloody."

"Therefore, this Warring States chilong embossed jade disc with grain patterns is a modern high-quality imitation."

Seeing Zhang Yi holding the jade bi, the stall owner spoke up.

"Young man, this jade bi is very good. It is a family heirloom of my neighbor's family. Recently, his family is short of money, so I have to find a way to sell it."

"I see, you are also an expert. This is Gao Guyu. Its popularity has gradually increased in the past two years. Buy it back and store it. Maybe in another year, the price will double!"

"how much is it?"

"This is a high ancient jade from the Warring States Period. How about 9000 yuan for this kind of quality?"

Zhang Yi smiled charmingly.

"The high ancient jade of the Warring States period is still such a large-sized jade bi. You sold me 9000 yuan. Do you think that yours is real?"

This rhetorical question left the stall owner speechless.

Originally, he was thinking of young people, so he offered a lower price, and let it go.Unexpectedly, he dug a hole and buried himself.

After leaving the booth, Zhang Yi couldn't help feeling emotional.

It is really difficult to pick up leaks in this morning market.

The appraisal opportunity just now was used up, and I don't know if there will be a next time.Therefore, Zhang Yi continued to wander around. With previous experience, this time, Zhang Yi went directly to those more remote stalls.

Such a booth has a low exposure rate, maybe there are leaks to pick up?
And such stalls are mostly elderly people.

Zhang Yi walked around on his own, looking for it.Those elderly people generally do not deliberately introduce their own things.Generally, the price will only be asked after you have taken a fancy to it.

The old objects on the booth are of various types, almost all the old objects that can be imagined, such as pipe pots, old tin pots, iron candlesticks, copper coins and so on.

Unlike those stalls outside, they are all popular categories.

Of course, when it comes to popular products, the probability of counterfeiting is almost 100%. Even, sometimes, even some of the more expensive broken porcelain pieces are faked.

After all, good tiles also cost tens of thousands.

After looking at several booths, Zhang Yi didn't find anything he wanted to identify.Instead, at a booth, Zhang Yi saw a long bead strung with a red string.

The rope is new, but the bead looks very old.

The beads have a dark brown base with ivory white lines on them, and some of these lines form small circles, like eyeballs.

"Grandpa, what is this?"

"That's a dzi bead."

It was the first time Zhang Yi heard of Tianzhu's statement, and he thought it was quite novel, so he asked.

"What is a dzi bead?"

The old man smiled and answered mysteriously.

"Legends say that the dzi bead is a treasure handed down by the gods to protect the human world. The one in your hand is called the nine-eyed dzi bead, which can ward off evil spirits and transfer luck."

"So amazing?"

"Young man, buy it if you like it, it's not expensive."

"how much is it?"

"three hundred."

300 yuan is nothing to Zhang Yi now.

However, Zhang Yi was more curious about this thing.

Is this man-made, or is it naturally formed?Moreover, the texture on it looks natural, and I don't know what material it is made of.

Forget it, just try your right hand identification ability.

Holding the dzi bead in his hand, the voice came immediately, and sure enough, there is still a chance for identification, this is the fifth time today.

"Excuse me, is it authenticated?"

"Identification."

Zhang Yi thought to himself.

"Nine-eyed Dzi Bead of the Ming Dynasty."

"Dzi beads originated from the snow area. It is an ancient product of the god culture in the snow area. The ancients believed that the dzi beads are ornaments worn by gods. Therefore, when people wear them, they have the effect of warding off evil spirits and enhancing internal energy. In fact, Tianzhu is a kind of sedimentary rock containing jade, agate, and crystal components deposited. It has a very strong magnetic field and magnetic waves, and has naturally formed regular patterns. These patterns are mainly eyeballs, supplemented by triangles and quadrilaterals. etc., the main production area is the Himalayas in the snowy region, and it is a very rare gem.”

"One of the seven treasures of Tibetan secrets is the nine-eyed stone dzi bead. However, because this kind of gemstone is rare enough, there are many imitations. High-quality imitations are often made of gray and white agate through chemical immersion to produce color and Patterns. And inferior imitations are often made of resin, ceramics, serpentine, etc., which are harmful to wear and useless.”
