The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

With that said, Zhang Nan stood up and walked over. He approached and saw that it was a huge stone super large bowl, with wave patterns engraved on the whole body and two wandering dragons, which looked full of ancient meaning.

The weight seems to be at least a thousand catties, one ton is not necessarily, there is water in it, and a few small lotus plants are planted.

Hearing Zhang Nan’s question here, Weng Qianhui followed: "Ye Ming got it from the old house demolition outside Xihuamen the year before. It seems to be an old thing from a ruined Qing Dynasty Taoist hall and put it here. Quite good looking."

At this time, Zhang Nan was leaning down to look at the stone base of the big stone bowl. This guy is one size larger than the big bowl above. It is eight-sided and eight-legged, double-layered, and carved with dragons and beasts and waves...

The knife is mellow and majestic!

Hearing Weng Qianhui's words, Zhang Nan looked up and said, "Moved from the old Zhenwu Temple?"

The woman shook her head, "Zhenwu Temple?"

Zhang Nan explained that there should be a Zhenwu Temple outside Xihua Gate in the Qing Dynasty, but it was abandoned a long time ago, and the location of the temple has long been turned into a private house.

"Aming, go call Ye Ming."

Let's just ask Weng Yeming. Anyway, he will be at home this time, and Lin Ming turned around and left.

It’s not good for the house to be too big. According to the size of the Baylor House, I guess it’s yelling at people here, but I don’t hear it over there.

Have to run errands.

Seeing Zhang Nan's actions, Weng Qianhui felt that this thing was not simple. If it was an ordinary old object in the temple, Zhang Nan would not be so concerned.

"Is it bad to move back things from the temple?"

Zhang Nan smiled, "It's okay, not so particular.

It is normal for believers to go to the temple to invite the gods back. I heard people say that in some places in Hunan Province, there used to be customs before opening a store to steal statues of gods and Buddhas from the temple and go back to make offerings.

In some temples over there, a small number of idols specially stolen by people were specially enshrined. In general, the person who stole the idols would go back to the temple the next day and consciously donate some money.

Let's move this thing back to normal, not to mention that the temple has been abandoned a long time ago, it's okay. "

"Is that the stone bowl?"

It's not a taboo, it should be the object itself.

"The stone bowl was carved by Emperor Qianlong. Forget it. But the real thing is this two-layer base, a cultural relic from the Kublai Khan period of the Great Mongolia, and the object made by the order of the founding emperor of the Yuan Dynasty."

"The stone bowl of the Qing Dynasty matches the base of the Yuan Dynasty?"

Hearing this explanation, Weng Qianhui was a little confused.

"It's not the Yuan Dynasty, it's the Great Mongolia. Kublai Khan was given the national name "Daeyuan" in 1271. If I remember this thing correctly, the time to make it should be 1265. There is no Yuan Dynasty..."

Then…

Weng Qianhui came back to his senses, "How did you know?"

The original military dog ​​trainer was not nearby, and he was playing with "Master Belle" in the distance. There were only three of them here, and there was nothing to say.

Zhang Nan smiled and said, "Analysis and knowledge."

He lightly kicked the stone seat again, saying, "The weathering degree of this base and the stone bowl above it are not the same, and the difference is 500 years, and the carving method and shape of the stone bowl and the dragon pattern on the base are different. Can be separated.

As for the exact date... Qianhui, you are the old capital and you have been to Beihai Park 100%, right? "

"Um."

This is not nonsense!

Have you ever been to Beihai Park before, the old Beijing people?

"There is a jade urn pavilion in front of the Tuancheng Chengguang Hall in Beihai Park. What's in it?"

Weng Qianhui had been to Beihai Park several times when he was a child during the spring and autumn outings, but the time has passed so long, although that pavilion should have been there at the beginning, but I just can't remember what's in it.

If you didn't go to see that thing on purpose, how could you remember it?

It just so happened that Weng Yeming and Lin Ming were here, and Weng Qianhui asked his brother what was in the pavilion.

Upon hearing this, Weng Yeming said to her sister: "There is the'Dushan Dayuhai' from the Yuan Dynasty in it, what's the matter?"

Weng Qianhui didn't answer right away, as if remembering something-it seemed that there was a super big guy in there!

Here Zhang Nan no longer stunned people, and said to Weng Yeming: "You have moved back the original base of the Dushan Dayuhai. Also, when this thing was made, it was not in the Yuan Dynasty, and it was called Mongolia. Don't make a mistake."

It was like an "Ah" written on Weng Yeming's face for an instant!

No, no!

The general stone base is not uncommon, but if it is placed on the base of "Dushan Dayuhai", it will be great.

If the people in the antique circle in Beijing didn't know "Dushan Dayuhai", that would be a joke! It is one of China’s "Top Ten National Jade Articles" selected by the good people, and the ranking should be very high: the earliest giant jade sculpture in China’s history, the first large jade sculpture, is now displayed in Beihai The pavilion in the park confessed to visit.

Hearing what Zhang Nan said, Weng Yeming also looked at this set of stone objects he had brought back, and then put the huge jade sea in his memory on the base: the clothes are seamless!

The original role of that piece in the Dushan Dayuhai was as a wine container. To put it bluntly, it was a super large wine urn, oval-shaped and weighing 3.5 tons!

It is carved from a whole piece of black jade with white seals. The inside of the jade urn is hollowed out. I won’t talk about the level of carving craftsmanship during the Great Mongolian era. Anyway, Kublai Khan ordered it to be carved. It has been repaired four times, and it is estimated that the outer patterns have changed drastically.

According to historical records, this super large wine urn can store more than 30 jewels of wine, which is approximately equivalent to 3,600 bottles of liquor per catty. According to the records of "Yuan History-Shizu Benji", Dayuhai became a ware in the second year of the Yuan Dynasty. (1265), it was made by Yuan Shizu Kublai Khan to reward the three armies. He often used that super guy to serve wine and feast the officials.

At first, the Great Jade Sea was placed in the Guanghan Hall of Qionghua Island (where the White Tower is now located) in the Taiye (now Beihai) of the Yuan Dynasty. When the Yuan Dynasty fell, the rest of the Yuan Dynasty was withdrawn to Mobei, and a large number of them were in the palace treasure belt of Dadu. If he didn't leave, he was acquired by the Ming army, including the "dushan and great jade sea".

From the time of Zhu Yuanzhang, for more than 200 years, Da Yuhai has been safely placed in the Guanghan Hall.

Who will move it if it's okay?

Excluding the base, Yuhai itself weighs at least 7000 kilograms, so you don’t have to worry about it being stolen!

However, in the Wanli period of the late Ming Dynasty, a fire burned the Guanghan Temple completely, and the big jade sea inside was also burned beyond recognition!

After that, the Great Jade Sea, which had experienced the fire, was miserable. It was forgotten in the corner of the palace ruins for a long time, and no one paid any attention at all.

At some point, the Taoist at Zhenwu Temple outside Xihuamen in the capital discovered this large "stone urn" in the ruins. They felt that it was the most suitable for pickling pickles, so they found a way to bring it together with the base to Zhenwu Temple. Set up a jar of pickled vegetables.

In this way, it stayed in the Zhenwu Temple until it was discovered by people who knew the goods during the Kangxi period: The pickled vegetable jar in the Zhenwu Temple was actually the big wine jar of Kublai Khan!

But no one moved it, and it will continue to be left in Zhenwu Temple for the next few decades.

In the reign of Emperor Qianlong, when Qianlong, who was addicted to jade, heard about the Dushan Great Jade Sea in Zhenwu Temple, it became the emperor's treasure, and it was newly equipped with a white marble carving seat.

It is strange that Qianlong only used money to buy the Jade Sea in the temple, but without the base: Zhang Nan also knew that Hongli had also carved a slightly smaller stone bowl on the original base and left it in the temple.

Because the Great Jade Sea had been burned for a long time, wind and sun and rain, when Qianlong saw it, the Great Jade Sea had long been completely different. In order to make it regain its former glory, Qianlong selected royal jade workers four times to carry out large-scale restoration carvings on it.

What about its original base?

Where did you go!

Zhang Nan knew that it had always been in Zhenwu Temple, but that was the result of research after someone found it in his previous life: Since Qianlong reign, this original base has been forgotten, and even the later Taoists in the temple have gradually I don't know the origin of this base and the big stone bowl above it.

Asked Weng Yeming how this thing came from, the latter said: "A friend said that the demolition area was due to the Forbidden City, which should have been within the imperial city.

My friend and I went for a stroll to see if we could pick up some old things. Finally, we saw this thing in the courtyard of the family’s house. The place used to be Zhenwu Temple.

It took five hundred yuan, and it feels just right to put it here. "

It's just right, it fits the environment of this big garden: this pair of Yuan and Qing dynasties doesn't look awkward at all, it's pretty good.

As for why it was waiting for Weng Yeming to bring it back in Zhenwu Temple, which was turned into a private residence, it was not discovered or taken away by other institutions or people, so you don’t have to think about it. Anyway, it feels like they stay here as a display. Very pleasing to the eye.

This thing is in your own house. Don't want to take it away. As for the big jade sea, let's continue to stay with its Qing Dynasty base. Anyway, it was the same combination in the previous life.

Speaking of the big jade sea, Guan Xingquan and Lin Ming had never seen it. Lin Ming wasn't interested in that Kublai Khan's big wine jar, but Guan Xingquan asked: What's the jade?

"Nanyang Dushan jade, this group of experts are still talking about its origin. In fact, any Nanyang person who has dealt with jade can see that big jade sea at a glance. It is Nanyang Dushan jade. .

It is also said that the \'Dushan\' in the Great Jade Sea of ​​Dushan is because of the surrounding water on the side of Taiye, which is rare and weird! "

hehe……

Experts, the "experts" of this year have become worthless!

I didn't care about the strange combination anymore, thinking that I could get a few of them to the manor in Yan County in the future with Caucasian puppies, at least smarter than the Tibetan mastiff.

Zhang Nan feels good about Caucasian dogs. This is not the reason why the video of Caucasian dogs killed Tibetan mastiffs circulated on the Internet in his previous life. He believes that Tibetan mastiffs are worse than its descendants, because Caucasian dogs can become East German border patrol dogs and should be smart enough.

As for the hapless Tibetan Mastiff that was bitten through its throat, it can only be said that it is rather unlucky: holding a dog leash on both sides, instantly fighting life and death, a little external cause may cause accidental death.

Besides, it’s not a Tibetan who raises it. I don’t know that the Tibetan mastiff has a natural defect: because of its strong body, it turns around slowly, and the protection of its neck is relatively poor.

Tibetans in pastoral areas knew this shortcoming of Tibetan mastiff and used a super simple solution to solve this problem. At least when grazing, Tibetan mastiffs, snow leopards, and wild wolves were required to work hard in the 1970s. Tibetans were still using that native method.

What Xiang Weirong told Zhang Nan: A piece of raw leather with a wide palm, nailed with two circles of nails from the inside to the outside, and then put it around the mastiff's neck as a dog collar!

The Tibetan Mastiff armed in this way...

Hey-hey!

It is unlikely that the Nine Mastiffs will sink the aircraft carrier. One Mastiff against the Three Wolves is definitely like playing!

You bite!

I'm afraid you won't bite the most fragile and poorly protected neck of the Tibetan Mastiff!

Bite it, it's absolutely sour and refreshing, 100% will end up with huskies and crocodile biting porcupines.

When the slow-turning Tibetan Mastiff turns around, the blood basin will give you a big mouth, and the big snow leopard of two or three hundred catties can't hold it!

Except for the zoo in the capital, there are obviously no snow leopards and no wild wolves. Otherwise, Zhang Nan would want to put a "Mace collar" on "Master Baylor", absolutely pulling the wind!

Well, Greater Caucasus, looks like Tibetan Mastiff, descendant.

...

Baylor House is too big, the houses have been restored and reconstructed, but only some buildings in the middle road have completed the layout of the interior furnishings.

There are only 8 people, how much place can you live?

Like the suite where Weng Qianhui lived, it looks like a few square rooms where Grandpa Baylor lived.

As soon as I entered, the living room displayed a full set of Qing Dynasty red sandalwood furnishings. Even all the porcelains on the furnishings were Qianlong official kiln porcelain. On the wall, there was still an ink landscape by the early Qing painter Shi Tao, which was huge in size.

However, Weng Qianhui never received any guests in her suite, and not even two of her friends would come to play at home. The living room of this inner house was actually prepared for Zhang Nan in the future.

On the side of the living room is the dining room, which is also a full set of Qing Dynasty red sandalwood furniture: the Ming Dynasty Huanghuali was not cleaned because the Ming Dynasty furniture was used in the Baylor Mansion in the Qing Dynasty...

The style is wrong!

There is also a small kitchen, a full set of imported kitchen utensils, which are generally not used. I probably think that one day Zhang Nan can live here for a few days, and then the two will have a few meals as a couple.

There are tableware in the cabinet, a set of modern Jingdezhen, and a set of Qianlong official kiln blue and white.

It is the Qianlong official kiln. Plates, bowls, basins, spoons, plates...there are a lot of them, serving ten people, and you can't even see the wear!

Oh, the chopsticks are new, or ordinary bamboo chopsticks, they are light and comfortable to use.

These were not Zhang Nan’s ideas, but Weng Yeming’s arrangement for her sister. He thought that this kind of tableware should be used to eat on a set of red sandalwood double-carved red sandalwood round tables in the mid-Qing Dynasty, or on a mahogany eight-xian table in the mid-late Qing Dynasty.

The suite has a full set of modern bathroom facilities ~www.readwn.com~ connected to the master bedroom

The new American-style layout of the study is that a red sandalwood bookshelf on one wall is more eye-catching. There are also several books and novels on modern business management, some of which are in English.

Because of the decoration style, a landscape painting by Wen Zhengming that Weng Yeming hung on the wall for his sister at first was asked by Weng Qianhui to pick it up and put it away, otherwise it looked a bit awkward.

There are two small photo frames on the desk. One of them contains the photos taken when she and Zhang Nan were in Xiangjiang. They both laughed happily.

As for the other one: a black-and-white photo, a photo taken by a family of four in a photo studio when Weng Qianhui was still a student.

The bedroom is fully modern, the bed is 1.8 meters wide, and the real "Simmons": Simmons, this does not mean that this is a spring mattress, but the brand of the bed and mattress is "Simmons", old and expensive!

Many people have always thought that Simmons is a mattress with springs inside and a very strong cloth outside. In fact, Simmons is a person's surname and a brand, but because it is so famous that we call the mattress "Simmons".

Because of his work experience in a five-star hotel, Weng Qianhui likes modern Western-style bedrooms. This will be the largest bedroom in the Baylor Mansion. Unless he pays attention to the shape of the glass windows, Zhang Nan will never think that he is in one. In the house built in the Qing Dynasty.

There should be a suspended ceiling above, and the height of the room is less than three meters. My woman doesn't like the feeling of the high roof outside.

The light-colored wooden floor, the texture is oak, and a thick Persian-style wool blanket is placed in front of the bed.

A walk-in closet is designed, with a wide light-colored wooden sliding door on one wall, which is the same color as the light-colored wallpaper.

It's very warm, very consistent with Weng Qianhui's temperament after changing into professional attire.
