Picking up Leaks in live broadcast: There are Treasures Everywhere in my Eyes - Chapter 372
Chapter 372
After chatting with Thomas and them for a few words, Xiao Ran returned to the topic.
He moved the newly identified Manjushri head out of the room, carefully placed it on the living room floor, and then instructed Nick to pack them and prepare them to be shipped away later.
He then entered the room and continued to identify other antique artifacts and works of art.
Next, he will place several other Buddha heads and stone sculptures between the two museum shelves, and display them one by one in front of the high-definition camera, asking Jin Lao to identify them.
Without exception, these Buddha heads either came from the Yungang Grottoes or the Longmen Grottoes, all of which Lu Qinzhai had cut off from the Buddha and smuggled out of the country.
The same is true of several stone sculptures, which were hard hewn from places such as Longmen Grottoes and Maijishan Grottoes.
On the neck and back of those Buddha heads, as well as on those stone sculptures, there are very obvious marks of chopping and gouging, which can be said to be scarred and tribulated.
Without exception, these Buddha heads and stone carvings are priceless treasures, with great historical and cultural research value and artistic value.
Two of the broken stone slabs are engraved with the entire Diamond Sutra.
After being studied by an old man in Guotu, this Diamond Sutra is slightly different from the version that is now circulating, it is a very rare early version, and it is extremely precious.
The two stone slabs engraved with the Diamond Sutra are well-deserved national treasures, enough to be listed as first-class first-class cultural relics.
In the process of identifying these Buddha heads and stone sculptures, several old men in Beijing were so excited that even their voices trembled.
Of course, they are also constantly cursing Lu Qinzhai and Wu Qizhou, the two big traitors.
I hate to dig these two traitors out of the grave and whip their corpses, and crush their bones and ashes!
As before, every time he got a definite identification conclusion, Xiao Ran would move the corresponding Buddha head and stone sculpture out and move it to the living room.
In the living room, Nick and they brought a lot of portable safes of various sizes, and many more safes are constantly being sent here.
Every time Xiao Ran sent out a cultural relic, they immediately packed it, numbered it, and then affixed a seal.
All of these actions were filmed and video evidence was preserved.
It took Xiao Ran nearly an hour to complete the identification of the stone sculptures and Buddha heads placed in the middle aisle, and moved them all out.
As these treasures were moved out, the middle aisle suddenly appeared much wider.
What’s more, there are fewer bonds under your feet, and you don’t have to worry about tripping over Buddha heads and stone sculptures when walking.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Ran came to the white porcelain Water Moon Guanyin and squatted down to admire it.
This statue of Guanyin of the Water Moon is about one meter high, and it is a statue of Guanyin.
Guanyin’s head is caped, with a Buddha on top, a long round face, and dignified and quiet facial features.
He wears a jade bracelet on his wrist, clasps his hands in front of his abdomen, holds Ruyi, and falls to stand on the waves.
The whole statue is delicate, ivory white, the surface glaze is thick, shining with a layer of treasure, and the clothing pattern is natural and smooth, which seems to be dancing in the wind.
The statue is simple and elegant, the image is realistic, the expression is kind, giving people a feeling of truth, goodness, beauty and holiness, and seems to purify people’s hearts.
Looking at this exquisite statue of Guanyin of Water and Moon, both Xiao Ran and them who were at the scene, or Jin Lao and others who were far away in Beijing were shocked.
Everyone was firmly attracted by this statue of Water Moon Guanyin and admired it intoxicatedly.
A moment later, Xiao Ran was the first to come to his senses.
Immediately afterwards, he smiled and asked
, “Several old men, give an appraisal opinion!”
“This should be the white porcelain Guanyin statue of Fujian Dehua kiln, I just don’t know, which porcelain master came from”
With his words, Jin Lao and they all sobered up.
The next moment, several old men gave a positive appraisal conclusion in unison.
“Your kid is right, this is indeed the white porcelain Shuiyue Guanyin statue of Fujian
Dehua kiln, from the hand of porcelain saint He Chaozong” “He Chaozong is a master of porcelain making in the Ming Dynasty, and the most outstanding representative of Dehua kiln white porcelain, especially good at shaping various white porcelain Buddha statues, the first person in Chinese religious sculpture
” “The various Guanyin statues he created, which were hard to find in the Ming Dynasty, were regarded as the most precious treasures in Japan and Southeast Asian Buddhist countries”
In the eyes of Europeans and Americans, He Chaozong’s white porcelain Guanyin and other Buddha statues are regarded as the masterpieces of oriental art
” “Because they pay great attention to the artistry of the works, they are not mature works, and they are never easily fired, so He Chaozong’s heirloom
works are few” “After hundreds of years, the works of He Chaozong that have been handed down to this day are even rarer, and every genuine piece is worth a lot”
Hearing this, Xiao Ran cheered in surprise.
“Wow! It is actually the Water Moon Guanyin statue of the porcelain Saint He Chaozong, which is really amazing!
“As far as I know, all of He Chaozong’s works have his personal mark on them
” “In that case, this statue of Water Moon Guanyin should also have the seal of Emperor Chaozong” Before the words fell, Elder Jin had already continued:
“That’s right, the back of this statue of Water Moon Guanyin must have the seal of Emperor Chaozong” “This statue of Water Moon Guanyin
was
originally enshrined in the back house of Prince Gong’s mansion, and it was clearly recorded in relevant books, and it was introduced in great detail”
“Because of this, it has become much easier to identify this Water Moon Guanyin Statue”
Hearing this, Xiao Ran immediately took action and began to slowly rotate this white porcelain Water Moon Guanyin statue.
Seeing his actions, several old men in Beijing immediately raised their throats in their hearts, and hurriedly reminded them in a loud voice:
“You kid must be careful, don’t bump into this national treasure!”
“Don’t worry, I have a score in hand, and I can’t have any problems,”
Xiao Ran responded confidently.
As he spoke, he had turned the statue of Water Moon Guanyin.
Sure enough!
On the back of this statue of Water Moon Guanyin, there is indeed a small seal, which is the three-character gourd-shaped seal of the Yin Wen Seal Book ‘He Chaozong’.
Although I have long expected this result, everyone is still excited to see this unique model.
“Wow! Sure enough, it is the Water Moon Guanyin Statue of Master He Chaozong! That’s awesome!
Xiao Ran cheered again, and he danced excitedly.
This time, he is not performing, but the natural outpouring and expression of true feelings.
Several old men in Beijing were also excited to shine with their eyes.
“There is no doubt, this is the He Chaozong Water Moon Guanyin that was once collected in Prince Gong’s Mansion, a proper national treasure level cultural relics” “According to documents, this statue of Water Moon Guanyin was originally collected in the palace, and it was given to Helong by Qianlong before entering the later Prince Gong’s Mansion” ”
Such a well-preserved and clearly inherited He Chaozong Water Moon Guanyin
statue, coupled with such a large volume, is really precious!”
Elder Shan said excitedly.
The other old men were the same, and their eyebrows danced excitedly.
Although they couldn’t understand Chinese, just based on the excited performance of a few old men, Thomas and they could be sure.
This exquisite and unusual oriental Buddha statue must be a top-level antique cultural relic and worth a lot.
After determining this, where can they still sit.
In unison, they got up from the couch and walked straight to the door of the room where a large number of antique works of art were stacked.
At this moment, Xiao Ran held this statue of Water Moon Guanyin and slowly walked out of the room.
When he carefully placed the statue of Guanyin on the ground, Thomas immediately asked eagerly:
“Sean, this statue of Guanyin from China must be a top-level antique cultural relic, right?”
“You have obviously completed the preliminary identification, can you say how much this statue of Guanyin is worth?”
The director of MOMA, who was standing on the side, quickly echoed two sentences.
Xiao Ran turned to look at the two old friends and nodded proudly.
“That’s right, gentlemen, this white porcelain statue of Guanyin of the Water Moon is indeed a top antique cultural relic with a history of four or five hundred years
” “This statue of Guanyin is very rare, the most outstanding representative of white porcelain in China’s Dehua kiln, from the hand of He Chaozong, a porcelain master known as the saint of porcelain
” “According to the current market conditions, the value of this statue of Guanyin is at least more than 20 million US dollars”
Hearing this introduction and quotation, Thomas, their mouths were immediately opened in shock.
Their eyes turned red quickly, full of envy and jealousy.
Xiao Ran just smiled, and then walked into the room again and continued to identify and clean up the various treasures placed in the room.
At the moment he walked into the room, Mr. Guobo Qiu’s voice suddenly came.
“Xiao Ran, the market value of this Water Moon Guanyin statue is far more than 20 million US dollars” “This is an orderly He Chaozong Guanyin statue, which is by no means comparable to the imitations of various periods in later generations” ”
Its market value is at least more than 30 million US dollars,
or even higher!”
As Mr. Qiu gave the appraisal value, the other old men echoed one after another.
Xiao Ran just smiled, did not respond, and walked straight to the two yellow pears placed in the middle aisle.
When he came to the two yellow flower pear transactions, before he could speak, Shan Lao had already given an appraisal conclusion.
“These two yellow flower pears are also from Prince Gong’s Mansion, and they were smuggled out by Lu Qinzhai together with that statue of Shuiyue Guanyin, and the way from is very clear!”
“And these two yellow flower pear chairs are from the Ming Dynasty, one of the most classic Ming-style furniture, which has been collected in the palace before!”
“In some historical documents, you can find the information of these two yellow flower pear chairs, as well as the drawings
” “Xiao Ran, you turn these two chairs, and the words of the royal supervisor should be engraved behind the back panel, that is the most powerful identification evidence”
Hearing this, Xiao Ran immediately picked up a chair and turned it around.
Sure enough!
Behind the back panel of this yellow flower pear chair, the words of the royal superintendent are engraved, which is very clear.
The imperial supervisor was the official name of the eunuch office of the Ming Dynasty, who was in charge of building all the wooden objects used in the palace.
After Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty came to the throne, he abolished the imperial supervisor and classified it as the Ministry of Internal Affairs!
The appearance of this seal is enough to show that these two yellow pears are indeed from the Ming Dynasty court.
