Chapter 1308 Disclaimer
“Brother, you just don’t understand the system.” Luo Qianhe said hoarsely: “Shudu Gongmei can dig out new academics in the old warehouse. Now the business level of the cultural relics store is showing It is very outstanding in the current situation of general decline."
After saying that, he handed over to Zhou Zhi: "This contribution can be compared to the recovery of the status of Chuji Huagu, which was mistakenly identified as Jiaqing's entrustment, and restored the country's success. million The loss is even greater, do you think Lao Fei can get the jackpot? "
Zhou Zhiyi thought about it and it was true. The cultural relics store is a state-owned unit, not only for the purpose of making money, but also responsible for the cultural relics. For collection and identification tasks, high-grade cultural relics must be handed over after the collection and identification are completed. Low-grade cultural relics are responsible for on-site storage. Only a small part are allowed to be marketed. In fact, it can be regarded as half of the cultural preservation department.
Therefore, the state requires that the items in the cultural relics store be thoroughly investigated and handed over. This is all a matter of one sentence within the system, which is really different from the general commercial department.
After Luo Qianhe said it, Zhou Zhi realized why Fei Guan was so excited and actively cooperated at that time. It turned out that cultural relic stores and museums have similar properties. Just studying the inventory at the bottom of the box can also be considered as a work achievement!
The two were chatting while admiring the collection. The Zigang brand of the Ming and Qing dynasties was changed to the collection category. This is called "Special Collection", which is the same as the previous "Nine Painters Runge" The more roads there are, the more difficult it will be.
That is, Shanghai Cultural Relics Store, inherited and jointly operated from the late Qing Dynasty to New China, only time-honored brands with hundreds of years have such a heritage.
Jade is an important part of Chinese traditional culture. The jade culture with jade as the central carrier has not only deeply influenced the ideas of ancient Chinese people, but has become an indispensable part of Chinese culture.
This is fully reflected in another box of eighteen fine jade articles sent to Beijing for the exhibition.
From the earliest jade hook-shaped cloud-shaped utensils characteristic of Hongshan Culture, to the three-tooth jade characteristic of Longshan Culture, to the jade kneeling figures of the Shang Dynasty, the cloud-patterned jue of the mid-Western Zhou Dynasty, the jade-shaped jade pendant of the Warring States Period, the jade belt hook of the Han Dynasty, and the yellow jade demon of the Tang Dynasty Scorpion, Song, Liao, Jin, Spring and Autumn Mountain jade pendants, Yuan Dynasty goose-pierced lotus ribbon rings, Ming Dynasty cups with floral heron patterns, and by the Qing Dynasty, they were all incense burners, mountains, pen holders, water bowls, bergamots, figure cups and other study supplies and furnishings.
In terms of Zhou Zhi's personal preferences, he very much liked early-style jade carvings such as Shang kneeling figures, Bijue hook pendants from the Western Zhou Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, etc. However, he felt lost in the increasingly complex and exquisite carvings after the Tang Dynasty. The ancient and heroic style of the pre-Qin and Han Dynasties.
But this time I wanted to give Xu Anxin a gift that I had promised for a long time, so I couldn’t give it according to my own preferences, and it was hard to choose at the moment.
Then I looked around and thought, hey, isn’t there a girl with good taste here? Why don’t you just ask Jiang Shuyi about her preferences?
So he asked: "Shu Yi, which one do you think is better?"
Jiang Shuyi couldn't help but feel embarrassed: "Zhou Zhi, don't be ridiculous, how do I know this?"
"Just follow your intuition, whichever one you think looks better." Zhou Zhi said: "After all, I have to prepare The gift for cousin An An is not for the ancients. If you think it is good, we will buy it and send it to Suzhou as a model. "
"That's it." Jiang Shuyi pointed to the favorite pieces on the plate: "I think this one with an umbrella and riding on a fishing boat is quite interesting, and this one with the swan hiding from the eagle, and this one. Carved into the sharp corners of a dragon."
"Okay, let's do these," Zhou Zhi said, "The theme of this fishing boat is very special. It is actually called "Immortal Riding on Cha". Cha originally referred to driftwood on the sea. The allusion was first seen in Zhang Hua's "Natural History" of the Western Jin Dynasty. "
"There is a legend in the book that the Milky Way and the sea are connected. He always lives in the sea, and the floating boats come and go every August without missing a beat. Some good people build small houses on the floating boats, buy food, and ride on the floating boats. Go. After more than ten days, you can still see the stars, moon, and sun. From then on, the surroundings are blurred, and you don't know the day and night. After more than ten days, you can finally reach a place with a city and a castle, and you can see the palaces in the city in the distance. , you can see many women weaving, and you can also see a man drinking water by the river across the river. ”
"This is sailing to the side of Altair and Vega, right?" Jiang Shuyi said with a smile.
“Well, later this theme became a traditional carving theme in ancient China.” Zhou Zhi said: “Later, the driftwood evolved into a small boat. The passengers could be Magu carrying peaches or picking sesame seeds. There was a period of time when Xianke attached himself to Zhang Qian who conquered the Western Regions in the Han Dynasty. "
“So this is the jade carving of the Immortal Picking Zhizhi.” Jiang Shuyi said, “So it’s not holding an umbrella?”
“It’s right to say it’s holding an umbrella. It highlights the Immortal’s picking The size of the Ganoderma lucidum that arrived was in line with the ancient people’s expectations of going to the fairyland and enjoying eternal life. "Zhou Zhi has no principles at all. Jiang Shuyi smiled slightly: "If that's the case, it would be a good idea to give it to cousin An An."
"It's quite good. I carved cousin An An as Magu and Li Laosan as Zhang Qian. They are so beautiful."
"Then what is the theme of this one?" Jiang Shuyi picked up the one with the swan. jade carving.
“This is called a ribbon ring.” Zhou Zhi said: “Scholar-officials in the Song Dynasty liked to wear Taoist robes. The Ancient and Modern Examination said: ‘Scholar-bureaucrats, common people and nobles, used jade ribbon rings with silk as the ribbon, and often used Taoist robes on their waists for beauty. . '"
"Because jade materials in the Song Dynasty were rare, the jade bis of the previous generation were often changed into tapestry rings, such as the jade tapestry rings unearthed from the Song Dynasty Tomb in Huangyan. It was modified from the 'Toulong Jade' of Li Min, the great ancestor of the Southern Tang Dynasty."
"But the theme of this ribbon ring comes from the northern region of Liao and Jin Dynasties, which is the famous "Spring Water and Autumn Mountain". : "This is the custom of the Liao and Jin monarchs, which is to go close to the waterside in spring and the mountainside in autumn to carry out grand hunting activities."
"At the beginning of the event, domesticated seaweeds will be released to capture swans. The masters are particularly good at carving that scene into decorations." Zhou Zhi looked at the ribbon ring. At the top of the picture, clouds and seaweeds were flying, and at the bottom was a swan. The panicked swan kept running and put its head through The stem of a lotus hides its head under a lotus leaf, which is so lifelike: "But this is a typical Qianlong work, and the carving is much more delicate than the Chun Shui Qiu Shan jade pieces from the Liao and Jin Dynasties."
" Where is this last place?" Jiang Shuyi picked up the yellow jade dragon-shaped corner.
“This is called a gong.” Zhou Zhi said: “The ancients used animal claws and ivory to polish and perforate the holes, and carried them with them as tools to untie knots.”
“Children are weak, Parents will prepare such an item for him to carry with him so that they can use it to untie the knot. , pry open the bottle cap. "
"So there is a sentence in "The Book of Songs·Guofeng·Pianlan", which is called "the branch of the orchid, the boy wears the orchid". Later, there are also allusions to call childhood "the orchid." Nian' means the age when people are still wearing knot-tying ornaments made from elephant bones.”
"Later, the jade weapon developed into a jade ritual vessel with a head like a dragon and a pointed tail. It had two types: flat body and round body. The flat body was shaped like half jade and the round body was shaped like ivory. It was worn by scholars. , as well as ritual vessels for sacrifices and blessings, gradually disappeared after the Eastern Han Dynasty."
"Just two pieces. The utensils are all from the Qianlong period, and this dragon head is in the shape of a typical Han jade dragon. It should be a yellow jade dragon head from the Eastern Han Dynasty. "
"Then forget this, is it for boys? She will think you are mocking her if you send her to Cousin An An. "Jiang Shuyi actually likes Xu An An's character as a fake boy.
“This is also a must. Didn’t I just say that it is a boy’s accessory?” Zhou Zhi smiled slyly: “Giving this to me, I will treat it as giving birth to Mr. Li and Uncle San!”
"I'm afraid cousin An An won't be able to understand your convoluted words." Jiang Shuyi was also amused.
"I don't want her to understand." Zhou Zhi said with some ill intentions: "This is my disclaimer. Then Mistress 3 can't blame me for not assisting! Shu Yi, you really chose a good gift!"
