Chapter 170 Gilt Bronze Buddha Statue

Of course, there is another possibility, that is, these two precious cultural relics are the things that the two people in front of us did not take out, not just the Buddha statue in front of us.

This can be explained reasonably, but it also makes Zhou Xia a little confused.

Because until now, he has not been able to figure it out very clearly, the scope of action of this archaeological identification system when exploring precious cultural relics.

Zhou Xiaduo thought about the current situation, but it was useless.

He could only try his best to use the knowledge he had learned and the systematic chronological identification function to infer which piece was a precious cultural relic.

The question arises again. Zhou Xia has not studied much about this Buddha statue. If he has to use any word to describe his level at this level, it means that he has opened the seven orifices and has no idea.

Even he knew that the current market conditions of various stone Buddha statues, bronze Buddha statues, copper gilded Buddha statues, etc. were on the rise.

But Zhou Xia couldn't spare so much time and energy to study. Before he got the system, he was quite satisfied that he could learn the essence of his own porcelain.

At this time, Zhou Xia had no choice but to rack his brains to recall the various techniques for identifying the Buddha statue.

If you want to say that the identification of Buddha statues from all dynasties and writing a book is too short, Zhou Xia can only record a rough idea of ​​the characteristics of Buddha statues from various eras.

His main task at this time is to identify which dynasty this gilded bronze Buddha statue was from.

It is easy to say but difficult to do.

Zhou Xia's mind was filled with thoughts for a moment, but to outsiders, it was only a moment. Then, he looked at the Buddha statue carefully. The preservation of this Buddha statue was not good. The gilded appearance was originally intended to be brilliant and dazzling, giving people a solemn and majestic feeling.

But after so many years of ups and downs, the copper gilded surface has long been mottled, giving people the feeling that it is no longer the original intention of the creator.

But Zhou Xia could see that this bronze Buddha statue should be older.

But how far this is still to be explored carefully.

From the appearance, this gilded bronze Buddha statue is about twenty centimeters high, not particularly large, but it is definitely not small.

Then, the top of the Buddha statue is in a round shape, the face looks relatively plump and wide, and the body is wearing a sage. A cassock is worn on the outside.

Beneath the loose clothes is a pleated skirt, and the sitting statue is the most common cross-legged sitting among Buddha statues. Buddhism believes that this kind of sitting method is the most stable, not easy to fatigue, and has a positive body and mind. Therefore, those who practice meditation often adopt this kind of sitting method. According to legend, Sakyamuni entered meditation under the Bodhi tree to meditate and practice enlightenment and attain enlightenment, and used this kind of sitting posture.

Looking at the shape of this Buddha statue, holding the left hand on the knee, and the right arm is bent upward and raised in front of the chest. The fingers are naturally stretched, and the palms are facing outward. Zhou Xia has a little understanding that such hand seal means the Buddha's great compassionate wish to save sentient beings, which can make sentient beings feel at ease and fearless.

All signs are judged based on Zhou Xia's pitiful Buddha statue identification knowledge. This Buddha statue should belong to a work from the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

On the market, such a gold-plated bronze Buddha statue in the Tang Dynasty is just average, and it can be priced at a price of about 100,000 yuan. It is quite good.

The most popular Buddha statues from the Ming and Qing dynasties are the Buddha statues from the Ming and Qing dynasties. Due to the huge progress in craftsmanship, the Buddha statues are diverse in shape and solemn and beautiful, many of them were cast by the royal family of the Ming and Qing dynasties. For many collectors, royal products are unique, and the mystery, nobleness, honor, etc. attract them. Just imagine, I can use the things that the Supreme Lord of Jiuwu can also use today! It has a bit of the meaning of "the swallow in front of the Wang and Xie Hall in the old days, flying into the homes of ordinary people." In this way, everyone is particularly excited to collect them. Especially in the third dynasty of the Qing Dynasty, the emperors of Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong, the things they played with, commented, burned, and cast were always popular.

Moreover, the Buddha statues from the Ming and Qing dynasties were relatively shorter from the present, and were relatively complete in preservation, with good looks and were popular with everyone.

The gilded bronze Buddha statue in Zhou Xia’s hand is a problem. Generally, the Buddha statues at auction are clean and tidy, and they are also equipped with a base, which makes people look very good. This Buddha statue has no base, so you can see the bottom, which is sealed, but it is certainly hollow. If it is pure copper, the weight is wrong.

If you can add gilding again to make it shine, it will be a bit interesting.

But now, even if it is genuine products in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the price will be greatly reduced.

Even Zhou Xia, who doesn’t know much about the collection of Buddha statues, can understand these.

Xu Yaohui, who is old this way, doesn’t need to be said even more!

Xu Yaohui felt that there was no need to collect such a Buddha statue, so he took a quick look and handed it over to Zhou Xia for an appraisal.

This made Zhou Xia a little embarrassed.

However, for the sake of safety, Zhou Xia decided to use his trump card.

After he made his own judgment, he immediately asked the system to make an appraisal to see if this was a Buddha statue from the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

Then, he judged whether this meets the standards for systematic identification as precious cultural relics.

As far as his personal feelings are concerned, the external manifestations of this Buddha statue cannot be linked to precious cultural relics.

You should know that there are still many gold-plated bronze Buddha statues in the Tang Dynasty on the market today. Of course, there are more fakes, and there is no doubt about this.

This is a very normal thing, and there is nothing particularly outstanding in this area and is ignored by others.

The system quickly gave the answer, "The object was created in 649 AD."

This information was quickly fed back to Zhou Xia, and he quickly realized that it was the last year of Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, in the early Tang Dynasty.

It is very consistent with the characteristics of the times. So, is this Buddha statue a precious cultural relic?

Zhou Xia was still a little confused about this problem.

But at this time, this is no longer a problem.

As long as it was confirmed that it was a gilded bronze Buddha statue from the Tang Dynasty, Zhou Xia would prepare to take him down.

Otherwise, if he really missed it, he would feel extremely regretful.

Taking a step back, even if this bronze Buddha statue is not a precious cultural relic, Zhou Xia would not suffer much. After all, this is a real gold-plated bronze Buddha statue of the Tang Dynasty.

After making up his mind, Zhou Xia was thinking in his heart how to speak to buy this Buddha statue.

Xu Yaohui was also waiting for him to make a decision, and his patience was also quite good. At this time, he was talking softly with the other two.

Xu Yaohui was not very clear about the names of the two guys. He only knew that the guy with a relatively vulgar appearance was nicknamed "Ma Gan" and the other one was nicknamed "Mouse". I have to say that this nickname actually quite in line with their image.
