Jianbao Gold Finger

Chapter 22: Doukou (2)

Doukou is a jargon in the antique business. It actually means that two people who refuse to accept each other, each bring out an object. This object can be real or fake, and then test each other's eyesight. , To distinguish the true and false of the object, but also to tell where the true and false are!

Generally speaking, this form of fighting is with a bet. Whoever wins the object can also add it up by himself, as long as both parties agree before the fight!It's like a fight between middle school students, but it's a fight, it's a fight!

But in fact, this doukou often changes from a literary fight to a martial arts fight. Nowadays, the doukou pays attention to a game. It is nothing more than the collectors gesticulating and playing together.But if this is put in the past, this fight is a real comparison between peers, real guns and live ammunition, the bet is really a shocking, weeping ghost!There are many antique shops that cause trouble, home breakage and death because of this fight!

Today, Zhang Haolong is looking for equation to fight, of course, it will not be just for fun, his purpose is very clear, one is to make equation ashamed, and the other is to accept equation's white-glazed chicken heart bowl to please the big beauties!And he also chose a single bucket method, that is, only he came out the object of the bucket, and the equation did not need to be out!In fact, this is unfair, but he just wanted to use this kind of radical method to stimulate the equation. What he didn't expect was that Fang Cheng agreed so happily!

"Okay, the objects are already placed, brother equation, do you have to put your'color head' on it too!"

Zhang Haolong pointed his finger at the sweetheart bowl that was still in Chaoxi's hand. Seeing that Zhang Haolong was thinking about his bowl, Chaoxi's arm holding the bowl tightened again.

When the equation saw the little girl's tenderness that was rarely revealed, he couldn't help laughing forward.

"Don't worry, I will never lose to him!"

The gentle but determined voice of the equation gave Chaoxi an inexplicable comfort. She let go of her hand and handed the white-glazed chicken heart bowl to the equation’s hand. Equation turned around and placed it on the table, then looked at Zhang Haolong and shrugged her shoulders. To signal that he can start!

"Okay, then ask the equation brother to start his hand!"

Zhang Haolong said in a weird voice with a smile,

After hearing Zhang Haolong's words, the equation slowly turned his attention to the collection he took out!

This is a wooden pen holder with a height of about 20 centimeters and a diameter of about seven or eight centimeters. The color is darker maroon, and the surface of the pen holder has a naturally formed tree pattern!Probably to show the exquisiteness and naturalness of this wood texture, there are no other patterns such as flowers, birds, fish, and insects carved on it, but only a small set of poems on it!Although the whole work is not very eye-catching, and even looks a little ordinary, it is full of the beauty of literary temperament in the eyes of knowledgeable people, simple and elegant, showing what literati should have. Elegant atmosphere!

After observing the appearance of this pen holder through the equation, it is roughly clear what the raw material of this pen holder is!

"Dalbergia odorifera, or Hainan huanghuali in our traditional sense, is a slow-growing, solid wood, and beautiful pattern. Therefore, it is also called the four famous ancient Chinese woods with red sandalwood, wenge, and ironwood. Ranked first among the four famous trees!"

What distinguishes antiques is to pay attention to the steps of "viewing, asking, touching, sniffing, knocking, and observing". The equation has completed the "viewing" step, but in the process of fighting, "asking" is impossible, so he Directly carried out the step of "touching" he is best at!

Just when the fingers of the equation touched the barrel of the pen holder, the familiar hot sensation was like an electric current, rushing to my fingertips quickly. This time the heat sensation was not strong, the equation lowered his head and thought about it slightly. , This intensity seems to be about the same as the snuff bottle identified before!Immediately he nodded, and there was a spectrum in his heart!

"The yellow rosewood is golden and warm in color, and the core material is darker in color, usually reddish brown or dark brown, with the texture of rhino horn! Look at this pen holder, it is made of yellow rosewood core material. Deep reddish brown, shining light matte, really beautiful! Because the wood of Huanghuali is very stable, it will not be deformed, cracked or bent regardless of cold or heat, and it also has a certain degree of toughness, so it has always been It is not only loved by famous families, high-ranking officials and nobles, but it is made into various forms of furniture. Huanghuali wood has a clear texture and is as easy as flowing clouds and flowing water. Therefore, many literati and inkmen like to use it to make pen holders. The utensils in the study room such as the pen holder, presumably the owner of this pen holder must be an elegant literary man with outstanding literary talent!"

Listening to the equations speaks eloquently, Siye Qi, shopkeeper Wu and the people present all nodded in agreement, but Zhang Haolong’s expression...not so good-looking!The yellow rosewood pen holder he took out was the most common-looking thing in his grandfather's collection that he could not carry on the table. It was originally prepared for today's small party!As a result, he temporarily made up his mind to argue with the equation, thinking that this thing is so common, maybe the kid in equation punched his eyes, but he didn't expect...

But what Zhang Haolong didn’t know was that when he read the book yesterday, he saw a chapter on Huanghualimu in the book. After a few more glances, he fooled it. Sure enough, Siye Qi was right. This luck... ...Really important!

"However, young man, it is not enough for you to identify that this is a yellow rosewood pen holder. You have to identify the product of what period it is!"

A middle-aged man present said that he did not deliberately make things difficult for the equation or favor Zhang Haolong, he just wanted to hear more about the "sounding views" of the equation.

"It's actually really simple!"

The equation smiled slightly, and smiled at the senior who asked the question.

"This pen holder...is an object from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty!"

As soon as the equation came out, Zhang Haolong's face looked like a dye shop, red, green, blue, and purple. It was a lively scene, and it was a bit awkward to see the equation!

"In fact, the appearance of the pen holder was not as early as we imagined. In some film and television dramas, characters in the Tang and Song Dynasties have already used the pen holder, but in fact it is not. The pen holder mainly appeared in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasty Yes! And I concluded that it was something produced during the Qianlong period because of the round, chess-like center at the bottom..."

The equation turned the pear blossom wood pen holder upside down. Sure enough, at the bottom of the pen holder there was a wooden heart like a chess piece.

"This thing is called'umbilical', and it is lively installed at the bottom of the pen holder to make room for the wood to experience the thermal expansion and contraction of winter and summer. This is the commonality of the old wooden pen holder! And this approach is It only gradually emerged during the Qianlong period, and the initial'umbilical' was approximately square, but as time went by, this'umbilical' gradually evolved into a round shape! So... I will tentatively conclude that it is a Qing Dynasty The huanghuali wood pen holder in Qianlong period, I don’t know Master Zhang... Am I right?"

When the palm of the equation was over, he looked towards Zhang Haolong with a smile, and asked the last sentence!
