Chapter 1369 6 Artifacts and 4 Places of Heaven and Earth

"A jade frog from the Liangzhu culture? Or a yellow jade frog? This thing is very rare, but why did it appear here?"

After searching carefully, it turns out that there are not all rough stones here.

Of course, there are not many real antique jades.

But it can also be seen from this that those foreign merchant ships that entered the country back then were really dishonest.

Just like these antique jade wares, it is certainly impossible for them to be officially sold, especially some ritual vessels or royal objects.

For example, topaz, this thing is generally monopolized by the royal family, and the folks must not be able to play with it.

Just now he saw some jade stones, the outer shell of which was peeled off, revealing the burnt yellow jade flesh inside.

This kind of thing has no ability. Who was able to get it from the Western Regions during the Ming and Qing Dynasties?

He really didn't expect that after carefully examining these jade raw materials, he could find some jade pieces mixed in them.

And looking at these artifacts, they are all ancient artifacts.

These are definitely not jade wares from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, because their withering style is not at all like Ming and Qing Dynasties, but they all look like ancient wares.

Just like the jade frog of Liangzhu culture, and a jade pig, these are somewhat similar to the jade pig dragon that Chen Wenzhe got before.

There is only one similarity, that is, the simple carving style, and the craftsmanship.

In ancient times, there was no machinery, and only artificial jade could be used, which was very urgent and easy to identify.

The older the jade, the worse the craftsmanship at that time, and the more troublesome it is to carve.

Therefore, the lines and shapes are very simple.

Of course, there are some slightly more complicated ones, but these cannot be Liangzhu Culture.

Just like the Huangyu dragon pattern in front of me, it is very laborious to carve, so it cannot be Hongshan culture or Liangzhu culture.

It looks like it was from the Warring States period, and this is another heavy weapon.

Don't look at the palm-sized topaz works as inconspicuous, but this is Huang, and it is still Yuhuang.

Yuhuang is a kind of jewelry to wear.

In ancient my country, jade cong, jade bi, jade gui, jade chapter, jade hu, etc., are all jade ritual vessels of "six rituals of heaven and earth".

Among the six wares, the four jade wares, namely jade huang, jade cong, jade bi and jade kui, have the longest history and appeared as early as the Neolithic Age.

In ancient times, these six utensils were collectively called "six auspiciousness".

The book "Zhou Li" calls them the jade ritual vessels of "Six Vessels Rituals to Heaven, Earth and Quartet", which are of high grade and heavy weight.

These six kinds of ritual vessels are the most important items in the collection of modern jade collectors. They cannot be obtained by chance, and they are also auspicious objects.

This jade huang is in the shape of a narrow arc, slightly wider at both ends, flat and thin, with drum nail patterns carved on the surface, full of grains, and the ground is ground to make it smooth.

The surrounding of Huang is outlined with concave string pattern borders, and a hole is punched in the middle for wearing.

This jade huang is relatively large in size, its color becomes darker after being exposed to the water, its surface is gray and natural, and its phosphine is mature.

The jade huang of the Warring States period is still easy to identify.

Compared with similar utensils of the previous generation, the shape and artistic style of the Warring States Yuhuang have undergone drastic changes.

The jade huangs of this period were not only numerous in number, complicated in shape, but also distributed in a wider area.

There are even many exquisite and ingenious new varieties such as the outline style, the hollow style, the layered style, and the segmented fit style.

The common Warring States jade huangs generally fall into these categories.

Like the jade huang in front of me, it is a jade huang with an outline.

Outline-style jade huang is a type of utensil with complex shape and structure that appeared in large numbers during the Warring States Period.

The so-called "outline style" is a kind of "subsidiary" shapes such as dragons, snakes, chi, phoenixes, and modified cloud patterns formed by hollowing out and transparent techniques in addition to the traditional "mother body" of jade huang. shape.

This kind of recognizable jade huang is one of the most distinctive and innovative varieties of jade huang in the Warring States period.

This kind of jade Huang appeared most during the Warring States Period and the Han Dynasty.

However, speaking from the source, this kind of jade huang must have existed for a long time.

In Liangzhu culture, jade huang is a kind of ceremonial hanging ornament.

Wizards wear it whenever religious rituals are performed.

It is often combined with jade tubes and jade strings to form a string of exquisite ornaments, showing the mysterious identity of the wizard.

And each jade huang is engraved with complex or simplified images of gods, humans and animal faces.

In the international art market, modern jade huang, like jade pendants, has won the preference of collectors, especially in Wanwan, where the market is optimistic.

There is no way that no matter what period it is, things that represent wealth and power will be sought after by people.

The piece of jade in front of him, not to mention anything else, just by its texture, he knew it was a treasure.

The main thing is the topaz it uses, the quality of the jade is really good.

This is very different from the high-grade ancient jade unearthed from the land with rich soil.

Ordinary high ancient jade, mottled and variegated, does not look much different from a stone.

But what about Yuhuang in front of him?This must be first-class topaz, deep yellow in color, soft and uniform, dense and fine in texture.

Rubbing it, it feels that the jade is very tough.

The most important thing is to moisturize and smooth, translucent.

It has a greasy, waxy sheen that makes it look fabulous.

Then there is the quality, this piece of topaz basically has no locks, cracks, impurities, etc.

Topaz can be divided into several grades according to the quality of its texture.

The last one is light yellow in color, soft and uneven, dense and delicate in texture, waxy luster, common strands, cracks, impurities, etc.

The division of colors is also approximate, and it is impossible to find strict boundaries.

Therefore, there are many characteristics of Hetian jade color that cannot be defined, and can only be used as a reference when collecting.

Moreover, when collecting a piece of jade, the color is only one aspect, and the texture of the jade is more important.

If you only look at the color, you may regard other yellow nephrite jade as Hetian jade.

To look at jade specifically, one has to weigh it, touch it twice, and look at it three times.

First weigh the weight and examine the density;

If it is light and has no feeling of falling, even if it is jade, it is not a high-density jade.

The second is to touch slowly to feel the fineness of the jade. A good piece of jade, even through the skin, is very oily without polishing, except for stone-covered jade.

Topaz has a high hardness, reaching 6.5, fine texture, strong toughness, typical oily luster, and polished interior.

In layman's terms, it should be like chicken oil, oily, glutinous, and crispy.

Huangpiqin seed material, which can be called topaz, must be that the flesh inside is also colored yellow.

The internal and external colors are the same, the color is not white, and the yellow color does not fade from the outside to the inside, so it can be called topaz.

Otherwise it is yellow skin seed jade, not topaz.

Generally speaking, the topaz of Huangpiqin seed material is more common, while the original topaz seed material is much rarer.

The difference between the two lies in hardness and skin color.

The hardness of Huangpiqin seed material is much lower than that of topaz raw material, and also lower than that of general baby material.

Topaz raw seed material, except that the jade is yellow, mostly has brown or red skin.

As for the yellow-skinned topaz, the inner and outer tones are all yellow-skinned.
