Goldfinger of the Heavens

Chapter 762
"You two have been studying jade and jadeite for half a year. Let me talk about this. If you say something badly, then this time, you should stop embarrassing me." In front of Uncle De stood a similar Yu Yuruyi said to Huang Chong and Zhuang Rui.

"Uncle De, I just said that if there are mistakes, Uncle De, please correct them." Zhuang Rui first picked up the jade and looked at it carefully. The jade was more than ten centimeters long and was carved from white jade.

"This thing looks like Yu Ruyi, but it's actually a jade belt hook." Zhuang Rui said, "It should be called 'Canglong Jiaozi'."

"That's right, you didn't admit your mistake, you didn't lose the face of the History Department of Peking University, and you can still tell your name. It seems that you have really worked hard." Uncle De smiled.

"The jade belt hook began in the Warring States period. It was an ornament used by people on the belt to buckle the belt, so it was named 'belt hook'. In addition to the jade belt hook, there are also copper, iron and jade. Made of this kind of material, the belt hook was also known as 'Shibi' in ancient times." Zhuang Rui continued:
"Its basic shape is generally a twisted 'S' shape. There is a hook at one end, mostly decorated with animal heads, a column on the back, and a top under the column. In addition to the 'S' shape with hooks, there are rod shapes, bamboo shapes, Round shape, animal face shape, piano face shape.”

"The ancient jade belt hooks were mostly white jade, topaz, sapphire, black jade, jasper, crystal, agate, jadeite, etc. in the northwest Xinjiang. Jade belt hooks were made from the Warring States Period, the Han Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, and the difference in shape is not great. The number is not large, but in the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, jade belt hooks became popular in the world, and the number is relatively large."

"Yes, yes, then what dynasty do you think this is from?" Uncle De asked.

Huang Chong picked up the jade belt hook and said: "This jade belt hook has a small and flat dragon's head. The two horns of the dragon are not clearly visible. The eyebrows of the dragon's head are raised and turned towards each other to form a cloud pattern; the eyebrows are raised and have heavy eyebrows. Eye pressure."

"The snout of the dragon's head uses engraved lines to show the lips and teeth; a pair of perforations are drilled horizontally on the side of the dragon's mouth to indicate the cavity; the dragon has no temples but has thicker hair, which can be divided into two or three, and has long hair. Some are short, and the elders can wear shawls."

"The back of the dragon hook is engraved with chi, which is a relief in the shape of lying on the ground. The rear part of the tail is curled and separated from the left and right. The distance between Chi and Chi is relatively large."

"The dragon hook is wide, like a pipa, and the hook button is made into a rectangular ring hole or cut into a hammer-shaped button, and it is close to the tail. Judging by the characteristics, this should be a jade belt hook from the Yuan Dynasty or the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty." Huang Chong judged.

Uncle De nodded, and said: "Not bad, not bad, the seed material is left with skin, the shape is beautiful, the jade is fine, the rust color is thick and dense, and it is something that opens the door at a glance."

After taking the jade belt hook, Uncle De pointed to the engraving on it, and said: "This kind of dragon hook actually tastes far better than the uniform Canglong Jiaozi hook of the Qing Dynasty. It has the legacy of the Yuan Dynasty, especially the big dragon's ears and the wishful clouds. Ear."

"That means we were right!" Zhuang Rui said excitedly.

"There is another question, look here." Uncle De pointed to the 'V'-shaped faucet and asked: "Is this a machine worker? If it is a handmade product, shouldn't it be in a 'U' shape?"

"This?" Zhuang Rui was taken aback.

"Uncle De, this jade article has sharp edges and corners, with a very strong hand-made color. The "V"-shaped dragon head structure should be that the two dragons on the jade belt hook are too close to the main body of jade, so there is no way to carefully carve it by hand. , which formed this 'V'-shaped structure similar to a mechanical worker." Huang Chong said with a smile.

"Okay, okay, it's very good to be observant." Uncle De praised.

"Yeah, why didn't I think of that." Zhuang Rui scratched his head and said.

"You have already done a good job. You mainly focus on jade and jade, and you will continue to work hard in the future." Uncle De taught.

"Yes, I will definitely work hard and work harder!" Zhuang Rui said, he is always so optimistic.

"Then have we passed the test?" Huang Chong asked.

"Of course!" Uncle De said with a smile: "Let's have a meal first, and go to Linghe to see things together in the evening."

"it is good."

……

Linghedang.

"The carving is also average. There is nothing commendable about the technique. It is indeed just ordinary green and white jade. I really don't understand it." Zhuang Rui handed the jade eye in his hand to Huang Chong and said.

"It's really average."

Qingbai jade is a kind of nephrite whose color is between white, light blue, and light green. Among the court jade wares of the Qing Dynasty, the utensils made of blue and white jade are the most.

The most, naturally means the least valuable.

In contrast, the small yellow-ground flange-colored flower bowl that Uncle De is playing with is also a thing in the court, but only the emperor can play with it. It is not only exquisite but also rare.

Compared with the two, the price does not know how many times higher.

Huang Chong attached his spiritual power to the strange jade eye carved from the green and white jade in front of him. His mental strength still had no effect, and although there were changes in his fingers, it was still not obvious.

"It seems that it's not the green and white jade itself that caused the change, but what's in the middle of the blue and white jade." After several attempts, Huang Chong thought to himself.

After experimenting, Huang Chong found that if the mental force is on the edge of the jade eye, the adsorption force is very weak, and the farther it is from the center, the weaker the adsorption force; and if it is in the center, the adsorption force is stronger, and the finger's reaction is the same .

"But this green and white jade doesn't seem to have been dismantled. If there is something in it, how did you put it in?" Huang Chong shined a bright light on the green and white jade, but he couldn't see if there was anything inside. Under the cover, this piece of green and white jade is a seamless one without any abnormalities.

"What are you two looking at? Why are you focusing on this piece of jade?" Uncle De put down the small yellow-ground flower bowl and asked curiously.

I don't know if it's Huang Chong's illusion. When Uncle De looked at this jade eye and said this sentence, his mood seemed to change slightly.

"Because this jade eye is too sparse and ordinary." Huang Chong said and handed the jade eye to Uncle De and said: "This jade eye is an ordinary piece of green and white jade. I really can't think of it, how it is placed in this place."

"Let me take a look." Uncle De took Yumu and looked at it carefully.

In the end, Uncle De didn't see anything unusual, so he could only speculate that it might be that this thing has special meaning to the owner.

"It seems that the problem is not with this jade eye, but with the thing in the middle of the jade eye. It seems that we must find an opportunity to take this jade eye away as soon as possible, otherwise things will change later." Huang Chong thought to himself.

As for how to do it, Huang Chong already has a plan.

Just take something, simple.
