Spirit Eyes of Rebirth Appraisal

The summer vacation ended unknowingly, and Ji Hanyu returned to campus again.

On this day, he was having lunch with Liu He and Tu Di when he suddenly received a call.

It was a stranger who called, but what he brought was excellent news.

"Okay, I'll be there this afternoon!"

After hanging up the phone, the excitement on Ji Hanyu's face has not faded.

"Win the lottery?" Tu Di asked while biting her chopsticks. In her impression, Han Yu was not such a stupefied person.

Liu He also looked at him curiously, why was he so happy that even the people around him were infected.

"Ahem, although I'm not winning the lottery, it's almost the same as winning the lottery. I have obtained the qualification certificate of an antique appraiser!"

"Antique appraiser?" Tu Di and Liu He looked at him in astonishment.

They are from the Department of Archeology, so they naturally know the meaning of an antique appraiser.

"How could it be? Under the age of 25, you can't take the appraiser qualification certificate!" Liu He said in surprise, Han Yu couldn't have been cheated.

"That's right, you're not being cheated, are you?" Obviously, Tu Di and Liu He thought of going together.

Ji Hanyu looked at the two of them with a sullen expression, "Hey, it's true or not, you'll know when I get the certificate."

Tu Di rolled his eyes, and suddenly thought of the exchange of cultural relics with the Yaodao a while ago.

The owner of the incident was Huo Yan. It is said that after the exchange of demon knives, Huo Yan donated all the cultural relics he got to the country.

If the state compensates, an appraiser qualification certificate is really nothing.

"Is our department of archeology going to have the first appraiser?" Archeology is inseparable from appraisal. Tu Di also has some knowledge of antiques, but she is still far away from appraisers. Her favorite thing is to explore ancient tombs.

Liu He smiled slightly, "If it's true, Han Yu must treat you!"

"Of course." Ji Hanyu laughed loudly, and then asked the monitor to ask for leave for him, so he couldn't go to the afternoon class.

"Don't worry, it's on me." Ever since Han Yu got the first grade in the class last time, even the four-eyed fox didn't bother to care about him anymore.

After dinner, Ji Hanyu drove a seven-series BMW to the direction of the Palace Museum.

Coming to the office building on the west side of the museum, Ji Hanyu registered and entered.

Inside, there was a young girl waiting at the door. After seeing Ji Hanyu, she asked her identity and took him to the office on the second floor.

After knocking on the door and entering, Ji Hanyu saw an acquaintance, the old dean he saw at the airport that day.

"Hello, Dean." After entering the door, Ji Hanyu gave a junior salute.

Literati pay attention to etiquette, which has not changed for thousands of years.

"Xiao Ji, sit down, last time I had a hasty farewell at the airport, I didn't have time to say a few words." The old dean said kindly, and then ordered the little girl who came in to pour tea.

Ji Hanyu took his seat casually, and said with a smile, "I should have come to visit you long ago, but school started recently, and I asked for leave before I came here today."

Only then did the old dean realize that Ji Hanyu's age was only a 20-year-old college student.

"What major does Xiao Ji study?" The old dean asked curiously, thinking that it should be linked to history, otherwise the country would not award him the certificate of antique appraiser.

"It's from the Department of Archeology." Ji Hanyu said truthfully.

The old dean nodded, no wonder, just a sophomore in the Department of Archeology, can he really control the identity of an appraiser?

He has no right to object to the state's decision.

However, for the sake of the majority of antique lovers, he had to take Ji Hanyu's test.

You know, once you become an appraiser, you can show the appraisal certificate.

It's good that the appraisal is correct, but if the eyes are hit, all the appraisers will lose face.

Fortunately, the Palace Museum lacks everything, except for antiques, and there are several in his office.

When the old dean was thinking about the real test, the little girl who brought tea came in.

This little girl is the granddaughter of the old dean, and she just had an excuse to come to study with him.

"Drink tea, Xiao Ji. Seeing that you are about the same age as my granddaughter, you may still have a chance to meet her in the future. If someone bullies my granddaughter, you have to say a few words." The old dean said with a smile.

Ji Hanyu took a look at the little girl, she was average-looking, but her eyes were very bright, and her whole body was full of aura.

It may be related to education. The little girl gives people the feeling of a noble lady in ancient times.

"Expert Ji, hello, my name is Lu Xiaoqing, please take care of me." The little girl, namely Lu Xiaoqing, said politely.

Ji Hanyu nodded to her, "The care is over, we learn from each other."

"Speaking of studying, you two came over to take a look at this. It was received by a friend of mine when he was digging out the old house." The old dean took down a porcelain sleeping Buddha from the shelf behind him.

Ji Hanyu knew a lot about porcelain, but he had few Buddha statues because of the rarity of the treasures.

The one in front of me is undoubtedly a treasure. Judging from the shape, it should be from the early Qing Dynasty, but the design of the bottom is a bit different, and it seems to be from the Song Dynasty.

Although the value of the old dean is not expensive, it is a tight test.

Those who are not knowledgeable enough will definitely date it to the early Qing Dynasty.

Ji Hanyu played with it for a while, and the serious light became more and more brilliant.

Buddhist artifact!

It turned out to be a Buddhist vessel!

Lu Xiaoqing was also observing when Ji Hanyu started to use it. She also noticed the strangeness of the bottom, but she didn't think much about it.

"It should be a folk kiln product in the early Qing Dynasty." Lu Xiaoqing said after analysis.

The old dean was noncommittal and looked at Ji Hanyu.

Ji Hanyu didn't jump to conclusions, knowing that the old dean was testing himself. Once he made a mistake in his appraisal, he would be given the certificate. Even if he got the certificate, he would not be recognized by people in the antique circle.

Guessing a certain possibility, Ji Hanyu used his eyes to identify it again, and after confirming that it was correct, he said, "This is a Buddhist artifact from the Song Dynasty."

"Oh?" The old dean couldn't help sitting up straight.

"How could it be? The patina of this Buddha statue is not thick, and the smoothness is not good. It cannot be from the Song Dynasty." Lu Xiaoqing said that in addition to observing the shape of porcelain, other aspects are also very important in appraising porcelain. This is a piece from the early Qing Dynasty. Expert Ji must have been misled by the design of the bottom.

"Xiaoqing shut up and listen to what Xiao Ji has to say." The old dean asked with some expectation.

Ji Hanyu smiled slightly, pointed to the patina Lu Xiaoqing said earlier: "This is a real piece of porcelain, but it is not an object for playing with, but a Buddha statue decoration, so it is normal for the patina to be lighter, and there is The so-called smoothness is related to the porcelain-making technology at that time. Although the Song Dynasty was a prosperous era of porcelain development, the porcelain-making technology was still underdeveloped in some remote ancient temples.

As long as you carefully observe the surface of the Buddha statue, you will find some subtle traces, which are the characteristics of Jun kiln.

As for the Jun kiln, it is the representative porcelain of the Song Dynasty.

Although the shape of the upper body of the Sleeping Buddha seems to be a bit later, it is normal if it is a remote ancient temple. "

Following Ji Hanyu's analysis, Lu Xiaoqing took the porcelain Sleeping Buddha and observed it carefully, and it was exactly what he said!

"Then how did you know it was a Buddhist artifact?" asked the old dean. Even an old appraiser dare not easily make a conclusion about the appraisal of Buddhist artifacts.

Ji Hanyu looked at the old dean with a smile, "You are always testing me, so just talk about it."

After finishing speaking, Ji Hanyu talked eloquently.

Buddhist utensils are also called dharma utensils, and the identification methods are complicated. Not all devices related to gods and Buddhas are called Buddhist utensils.

The real Buddhist utensils are not the incense burners placed on the stalls, but the objects that have been lit and enshrined by thoughts.

Just like the dzi in the hands of old Tibetan lamas, it is a Buddhist vessel.

However, the beads we buy in the street market, engraved with the ten thousand-character Buddha seal, cannot be called Buddhist vessels.

Of course, if the things are consecrated and blessed by the old monk, it will be hard to say.

The same item, Buddhist utensils will give people a special feeling.

First of all, you can smell it. There is usually a faint scent of incense on the Buddhist utensils.

There is also the feeling after touching. After touching the real Buddhist vessel, it will make people feel refreshed.

"Ah! Could it be that this is a Buddhist artifact? It's too troublesome to identify it?" Lu Xiaoqing frowned, and it turned out that the identification was based on feeling, which involved too many aspects.

The old dean laughed, "When you get in touch with more, you will naturally be able to distinguish the difference between Buddhist vessels and normal objects."

At this time, the old dean looked at Ji Hanyu with eyes full of admiration. This kid is not only Huaxia's Doraemon, but also a genuine appraisal expert.

Just when Ji Hanyu said that the porcelain sleeping Buddha was a Buddhist vessel, the old dean fully admitted him.

Ji Hanyu was a little embarrassed by the old dean's praise.

Originally, he was only skeptical, and only dared to draw conclusions when he knew that he could use supernatural powers to confirm.After all, he is not very proficient in the identification of Buddhist artifacts.

Remembering the previous life, I heard a story in a temple.

A woman fell in love with a Laughing Buddha pendant, and she wanted to buy it, but his lover didn't agree.

She said that the Laughing Buddha on the pendant smiled at her, but her lover didn't believe it at all, and said that she was a demon.

Others looked at the pendant, but they didn't think there was anything unusual about the Laughing Buddha. The carved objects wouldn't have any focal length.

In the end, the woman bought it despite her lover's objection.

In the same month, the woman took a long-distance bus back to her natal home. On the way, a car accident happened. The whole car broke through the bridge and fell into the river.

It was a night of ice and snow, and the bus directly smashed a big hole in the ice, which added a lot of burden to the rescue work.

Of the whole carload of people, only a woman survived.

The process of being rescued turned out to be because the Laughing Buddha pendant glowed, so the rescuers found the woman.

The situation at that time was not to mention pitch black, but it was not much worse. It was because of this so-called light that the woman's life was saved.

After the woman was sent to the hospital, his lover came quickly and stayed with the woman until she recovered.

Then the two returned to that temple again just to fulfill their vows.

The woman's lover also wanted to buy a Guanyin pendant, but she didn't meet her. Later, an old monk heard about the woman. After seeing the pendant on the woman's neck, the old monk said that women are destined for Buddha. This pendant is a Buddhist vessel blessed by an eminent monk a hundred years ago.

It was from then on that Ji Hanyu began to pay attention to all objects related to gods and Buddhas.

It's a pity that in the two lifetimes combined, he has only seen such a Buddhist vessel.
