Antiques are the historical accumulation of culture. There is a story behind each antique. Liu Yue looked at Dong Minquan and asked him: "Grandpa Dong might as well say something, so that we can experience it."

"Oh." Dong Minquan sighed. Some people like to hide private property and like to share. The old man obviously belonged to the latter. He said: "It's a pity to say that in the early 1980s, an antique dealer who traveled between Hong Kong and the mainland brought ten blue and white pieces. At that time, I was the first customer to arrive at the scene. The quality of these porcelains was pretty good. The only disadvantage was that they had no brand recognition. My level at that time was limited to looking at the model. If I had no brand, I had to bite the bullet and look at the body and glaze. In the end, I picked that one." Dong Minquan took a small Yongzheng pastel jade pot spring bottle next to Kangxi and said to the two: "Among all the porcelains at that time, this porcelain was the best, the price was the highest, and it was worth HK$10,000."

Tang Feng looked at the pastel, which was similar to the angering official kiln he sold to Yang Chengming before. It was a fine product of the folk kiln, and it was indescribable in terms of quality.

Dong Minquan continued: "The antique transactions at that time were not as popular as they are now. No one except me was willing to spend money to buy them. The key is that they don't believe in the cultural relics dealer. I completed the transaction here, and a ghost guy came over there. He just took a rough look and bought all the remaining nine pieces. It was a coincidence that the ghost guy had just paid the bill, and Zhai Jianming ran over. When he saw the porcelain, his eyes were straightened. He persuaded him to buy them back from the ghost guy, but the ghost guy refused to do it. There was nothing he could do. After the ghost guy left, I told him, boy,

It's too late, the best one is here for me. He glanced at me and told me that the one you have in your hand is the worst. I was so angry that I had known that I would have bought ten pieces together. In a blink of an eye, it was 20 o'clock, and this Kangxi blue and white porcelain among the nine pieces of porcelain appeared at Sotheby's auction. Through the bidding, I finally spent more than 110 o'clock to buy it back. Afterwards, people in Hong Kong were laughing at me. At that time, I could buy ten pieces of 10,000 Hong Kong dollars, but in just twenty years, I paid 11o times the price to win one tenth. Do you think this is a pity?"

Tang Feng knew that Zhai Jianming was another famous collector in Hong Kong and an expert in porcelain appraisal. He once successfully bid for an enamel color for a sky-high price of 122 million yuan. People who play collectors have to pay tuition to a higher price. The bigger the collector, the more expensive the tuition, the more it is. Dong Minquan's investment will be tuition to hundreds of millions. In contrast, Tang Feng and Liu Yue are both lucky. Their tuition was paid in advance by the previous generation.

Liu Yue said to Dong Minquan: "Good thing. Of course it will be a pity to slip away from your hands, but don't you always have an appraisal team?"

Dong Minquan laughed and said, "Hold high salary. Appraiser was after that. He was really reluctant to give so much money before, but he was willing to give up after suffering losses."

Almost all people who play collecting will feel that they have been born in the wrong era. If they can start buying antiques before the collection craze becomes popular, everything will be different. Tang Feng even thinks that his grandfather should have let himself come out earlier, but this is just a beautiful wish. Even if he comes out early, the result will not be much better. People are affected by the environment. After all, there are only a very small number of people who can surpass the limitations of the times. They can often become leaders in their respective industries. There are countless examples of this.

Although the ground is a historical ruler, Dong Minquan's collection is still not available. He can keep up with the pace of history and go through the Qing, Ming, Yuan and Song dynasties. The ceramics before the Tang dynasty were even more vacant. The old man designed this way simply to remind himself not to forget to fill these historical gaps. Dong Minquan looked at the vacancy and shook his head and said, "I can't fill these gaps in my lifetime. Your road is still long, and the future is yours."

The three people walked from modern times to ancient Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, and the end of history. At the beginning is a large living room. Although the layout of the living room is very simple, the total value is over the entire Dong family mansion. All the furniture is from the Ming and Qing dynasties, and all of them are made of precious wood. A Xuande furnace is placed on the rose sandalwood table, and a couplet is hung above it. The first couplet: This life is all fate; the second couplet: Love, goodness, blessing, fate, fate, fate, and fate; horizontal banner: Three lives are fate.

"Tsk tsk." Liu Yue's movements and expressions were like a little girl. She nodded and said, "Good couples, it's strange to say. The collector's collection room seems to have good couples. I have a friend whose couplets hung in his collection room are also very interesting. They are rated as Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties; I understand Ru Guan Ge Jun Ding, and the horizontal draft: Collection in the prosperous era."

Tang Feng also went to Liu Yue's friend's collection room, which is Yang Chengming. As for porcelain collection alone, the couplet can indeed express the essence of the collection in the prosperous era. The three of them took a short rest and walked all the way to the door along the historical trajectory on the other side. Perhaps the feeling of being in the history is the true meaning of antiques. After visiting Dong Minquan's collection room, Tang Feng's heart could not be calm for a long time. As time goes by, the difficulty of collecting will continue to increase. With Dong Minquan's financial resources that are rich enough to rival the country, it cannot connect the entire historical corridor with antiques, let alone that the economic situation can never get rid of himself who is stretched.

Dong Minquan seemed to see Tang Feng’s thoughts, and he said earnestly: “Xiao Tang, the biggest enemy of accumulation and collection is not money, but time. Your advantages are unparalleled, and my wish is destined to be fulfilled by you young people.”

Tang Feng nodded and said, "This may be the common wish of all collectors, but the chances of realization are almost impossible. If it is so easy to complete, the fun of collecting will no longer exist."

Dong Minquan smiled approvingly and said, "It is not easy to see the bottom of this at a young age. Work hard."

In the evening, with Dong Minquan's kindness, Tang Feng and Liu Yue stayed at the Dong family. Of course, they were not absurd to some extent. The next morning, the two bid farewell to Dong Minquan. Because they were going to the antique market, the Dong family did not send them down the mountain because the largest antique market in Hong Kong was Helihuo Road halfway up the mountain. Helihuo Road was built on the first street, which was connected to the Central and the Mid-mountain. It is the most prosperous area in Hong Kong. None of the things that are well known to the mainland, Lan Kwai Fong and Soho Honan Food Zone are here. The naming of Helihuo Road has no connection with Hollywood in the United States, because the streets were planted with holly trees along the road in the early years, and Helihuo is translated in English.

Perhaps Tang Feng and Liu Yue themselves did not feel it. While they were in the antique market, they also relaxed and left many troubles behind their daily lives behind their heads. Helihuodao and the surrounding neighborhoods gathered thousands of antique shops. Because the land price in Hong Kong is too high, the shops here are not large in size, but there are many items... Not only are there ceramics, jade, gold, silver and bronze, calligraphy, paintings, furniture and lacquerware, etc. There are many antiques that are worthy of people, but also some rare unearthed cultural relics in China, ancient wedding dresses, old electric fans from the Western world, phonographs, and pearl agate from Southeast Asia.

After visiting several antique shops, Tang Feng has a deeper understanding of the antique market in Hong Kong. In addition to the advantages of a wide variety of antiques and a wide range of advantages, the price here is a little higher than that in China. Compared with the mixed experience of the domestic antique market, the Hong Kong antique market is also intertwined with real and fakes, but the proportion is much better than that in China.

Hong Kong is a place where East and West cultures meet, with rich international characteristics. Among the crowds of different races and different skin colors, Tang Feng and Liu Yue are particularly eye-catching. Liu Yue asked Tang Feng: "How is it? Are there anyone who likes it?"

"Hey, why would our great researcher in the museum ask me this question? I should ask you." Tang Feng said.

Liu Yue raised her pretty face and looked at Tang Feng, saying, "Don't come, I'm here to accompany you!"

Tang Feng asked Liu Yue: "Why have I never seen you take out antiques by yourself?"

Liu Yue laughed and said, "I don't have to worry about dowry, why am I here to take out cultural relics?"

Speaking of dowry, Tang Feng couldn't help but ask Liu Yue, "Liu Yue, can I ask you a question?"

"I've asked him directly." Liu Yue nodded and said.

Tang Feng asked: "Have you seen your family look for a boyfriend for you?"

"Of course I've seen it, and I've seen it since I was a child. He takes good care of me. Well, to be honest, others are really good." Liu Yue pouted and said, "I don't know why, but I don't feel anything about him. Moreover, I don't think he has any feelings for me. Anyway, we both looked very open-minded, but a large group of people next to me were just anxious."

"Then what do you think?" Tang Feng felt the relationship between him and Liu Yue was absurd and bizarre for the first time. No one could make a promise to anyone. Everyone had a promise. I am afraid that this matter could only be discussed in the antique market. Relaxation is only a secondary reason, and psychological hints are the main reason. They need a buffer zone that everyone can accept.

Liu Yue said: "I like to be able to find a way to solve this problem with the best of both worlds. The biggest difference now is that I don't want to sacrifice myself for the family, but he is willing. This is the bad nature of you men. In terms of marriage, you have psychological advantages and always feel that you will not suffer any losses." Liu Yue actually said halfway. Her "fiance" is a man with strong career and strong self-confidence. As a man, he contains more or less some residual genes of male animals. If Liu Yue really gave birth to something with Tang Feng, even if he doesn't like Liu Yue, he will treat this kind of thing as his own shame and humiliation, and then regard Tang Feng as his enemy. What Liu Yue is worried about now is that if he and Tang Feng really have an unhappy relationship, how should he deal with it?

"How could you push me and him down a trench? Don't forget, he and I are rivals in love." Tang Feng's words were very relaxed, but some residual genes were revealed. If they continued to develop like this, these two people would definitely not be good.

Hearing Tang Feng's words, Liu Yue frowned slightly. It seemed that her worries didn't seem to be unnecessary. She didn't want to discuss this issue in depth. She immediately looked around and pointed to an antique shop not far away and said to Tang Feng: "Hey, there seems to be something good over there."

"Is that?" Liu Yue was not very good at lying after all. Tang Feng could see it at a glance. Since she was unwilling to continue this topic, Tang Feng didn't want to force her. He looked forward in the direction of her finger. There was an antique shop called "Feal Glaze" in front of her. Although the name of this shop was a bit weird, it was straightforward. You could tell at a glance that it was a porcelain shop running.

Tang Feng said: "Tang Feng still believes in Liu Yue's vision very much. Let's go and take a look."

Two people walked into the "body glaze" a few steps. The antique shops in Hong Kong compete with the grocery stores in mainland China. The space utilization rate is very high, and they will not miss places where things can be stored. The special administrative region is a bit different from the mainland. The high housing prices here are indeed due to the shortage of land resources, and the housing prices in mainland China with large land and abundant resources are a bit inflated. One is a natural disaster and the other is a man-made disaster. This cannot be connected with the "international".

Liu Yue could not have thought that he could point out the place just by pointing out a antique shop. The pieces of porcelain placed on the shelves near the door were all at a glance, and they were blue and white porcelain from the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China. The things were at a glance, and the price was wide open, which was a little higher. Tang Feng and Liu Yue obviously didn't like those low-end antique porcelains. The two of them were inspired by the real guys in the door and continued to dig in. The antiques were taken out.

Generally speaking, people who are proficient in business have a pair of thief eyes. The Hong Kong boss who was just communicating with his friend in Cantonese language immediately changed his tongue to Mandarin when he saw Tang Feng and Liu Yue coming in. He said, "You two are welcome, please read it casually."

Although he was a smiling face to welcome the guests, neither the guy nor the boss wanted to go forward to sell the two customers. Tang Feng was happy and liked this way of doing business. Under the light, a piece of colored porcelain attracted Tang Feng's attention. He gently touched Liu Yue's shoulder and whispered: "After all, I didn't rush back to the road. It seemed like there was a fish. Did you see that colorful bat flower plate?"

Liu Yueshen was born in the family and foreign school and knew that it was not appropriate to expose her target too early. She looked at the colorful plate that Tang Feng said quietly and whispered: "It looks a bit like it from a distance."

Tang Feng pretended to be aimless and looked around. He walked around a big bend before he walked to the colorful plate. This colorful plate was a large porcelain plate, about 4.5 cm high, about 20 cm in diameter, and 15 cm in diameter in the plate. Although there was no price tag, Tang Feng knew clearly that if this colorful plate was real, the price would not be lower than one million. At the autumn art auction held by Liaoning International Commodity Auction Co., Ltd. on January 28, 2007, the final transaction price of a Ming Jiajing five-colored fish and algae pattern large jar with a starting price of only 50,000 yuan was 270,000 yuan, which set a record of the transaction price of porcelain art in the Northeast region at that time.

Nowadays, bosses are like sharks. They can't smell bloody. They can easily see that the depth will definitely lead to great losses, but being too calm will also attract the boss's scoop. Tang Feng first made a serious flick of the rim of this colorful plate with his finger. The sound was crisp and long, and it was basically right. Even if it was a fake, it was at least a high-quality fake in Jingdezhen's 21st century. The sound of the fingers was from the identification of tomb robbers. It was particularly effective for large-shaped porcelain plates without closed space. People who have never robbed the tombs do not know much about it, but this can only be used as a reference for the authenticity and is not decisive. Afterwards, Tang Feng held the colorful plates with both hands, which were high and low in the middle and began to observe carefully.

It is not difficult to distinguish the types of colored porcelain. As long as you understand the relationship between body and glaze, there is no problem. If you want to layer a piece of porcelain from the inside to the outside or from the middle to the two sides, it is composed of three parts: body, glaze and color.

The body is a porcelain body, which is made of porcelain clay embryo.

Color is painting. Use special color materials to draw patterns, patterns and pictures on porcelain to increase the beauty of the objects and improve their artistic value. This process is called painting.

Glaze is porcelain glaze, also known as glaze. It is a liquid substance made of raw materials such as quartz, feldspar, borax, clay, etc. When the glaze is applied to the surface of porcelain and pottery, a layer of glass-like coating will form on the surface of ceramics. If a glaze is applied on the surface of metal, it is enamel. The glaze is not completely transparent. Before the Song Dynasty, many monochromatic glazes, pink green, and plum green belong to green glazes. Red glazes are divided into copper red glazes and iron red glazes. The representative of copper red glazes is underglaze red; the main varieties of iron red glazes are coral red. In addition, there are white glazes, black glazes, low-temperature glazes, crystalline glazes, etc.

The glaze is applied first and then added to the color is called overglaze color, otherwise it is underglaze color. The main varieties of overglaze color include five-color, pastel, plain cloud color, and enamel color. The main varieties of underglaze color include blue and white, underglaze red, underglaze three-color, and underglaze five-color. There is an exception here, that is Doucai, which is a kind of porcelain that combines the two.

Tang Feng had been watching here for a while, and Liu Yue came to him. According to the official words of TV treasure appraisal, the colorful bat flower plate in Tang Feng's hand has the following characteristics: this plate is regular, dignified and elegant, with a bright and bright glaze, a strong jade texture, a hard and fine body, and a suitable ratio of body to weight. The plate is a closing mouth, with an unglazed body on the mouth, and a yellow-brown decoration is applied to the edges. The plate gradually converges below the mouth, and the bottom of the instrument

The ring foot is plain, and the back of the loach is round. The marks of the tyre-repairing knife are visible. The concave areas of the bottom of the vessel are glazed, and the blue and white paintings are painted with double circles. The three-line and six-character regular script style written by "Made in the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty" are written. This plate is decorated with white glaze and decorated in colorful colors. The color can be seen in part of the color of the clam light, which is very natural due to the age of time. To sum up, the expert group unanimously agreed that this Qing Dynasty Kangxi bat flower plate is the authentic product.

Note that at this time, the host will usually come out to ask questions clearly. Teacher x, what is the special significance of this Kangxi five-color painting?

The expert cleared his throat and then introduced that the plate of this Kangxi five-colored plate was painted with flowers and five bat patterns. The five bats were flying in the flowers with different expressions. The pictures were realistic, lifelike, and extremely beautiful. Of course, it also contained profound humanistic meanings.
