Chapter 178 Clam Buddha
Early this morning, Hu Jianmin pulled Wen Yiming out, drove onto the highway mysteriously and drove directly to Tianjin Port.
"Let's visit a strange old friend, Zhang Lianzhi, chairman of Yuehai Catering Group, and dozens of big hotels under it, and they are worth a lot of money."
Hu Jianmin explained: "He is very low-key, but he is generous and has a variety of things to collect. We have a good relationship. Anyway, we are not far away. Please see how he is a villa that he claims to be 10 billion?"
"A villa worth tens of billions?"
Wen Yiming was very curious. What house can be worth 10 billion yuan? He soon arrived at his destination in front of a huge manor in the suburbs.
"Is this a porcelain house?"
When the two entered the garden, Wen Yiming was shocked by the scene in front of him. The entire villa, including the wall, was inlaid with porcelain, and the huge buildings were actually built from ancient porcelain!
"Brother Jianmin, long time no see, please come in!"
Zhang Lianzhi greeted him, greeted him warmly, and took the two to visit his proud works.
"This villa is decorated with more than 4,000 pieces of ancient porcelain, more than 400 pieces of white marble carvings, more than 40 tons of crystal stones and agate, and more than 700 million pieces of ancient porcelain. Some people estimate it to be 9.8 billion!"
Zhang Lianzhi said proudly: "I call me an antique man in the circle. The porcelain pieces used to decorate the house on the porcelain house are almost all my collection efforts for forty years. Over the years, my antique inventory has filled four large warehouses."
Wen Yiming looked at the villa decoration curiously, and even the stair railings were inlaid with various porcelain pieces, colorful and beautiful.
"There is no modern porcelain piece used for house decoration, and there are also many porcelain pieces from the five famous kilns such as Jun kiln and Ru kiln. Porcelain covers various historical periods, including Jin Dynasty celadon, Tang Sancai, Song Dynasty Jun porcelain, Longquan porcelain, Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain, and Qing Dynasty banyan and other fine products."
Zhang Lianzhi brought the two to the living room, pointed to the huge porcelain plate and said, "There are many famous paintings in the house made of porcelain pieces. This painting is a painting of Zhang Daqian. It is made of blue and white porcelain from the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. The red porcelain piece firing technology has now been lost."
"The colored powder plate in the middle was from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. I came here for 3 million ten years ago."
"Huh? This pair of bronze deer was an old collection of Cining Palace back then?"
Wen Yiming suddenly discovered that a pair of copper deer at the door turned out to be Cixi's beloved thing back then, but she didn't expect it to be here.
"There are also these white marble sculptures placed in porcelain houses, all of which are old collections of the Old Summer Palace. In recent years, I spent more than 80 million to collect them from different places."
"The lion at the door is the largest three-color glass lion in the world. It was originally an item on Duan Qirui's mansion. It took me two years to collect it, and it is also a masterpiece."
Hu Jianmin suddenly found a large display cabinet on display in the corner, with an egg-like thing inside, and asked curiously: "What kind of egg is this?"
"Dinosaur egg fossils! It was collected by accident 200 million years ago in the Cretaceous period."
Wen Yiming and Hu Jianmin looked at each other, and they really didn’t know what to say. Zhang Lianzhi was quite persistent in his spirit and collected a lot of good things. But this method was a bit speechless. The porcelain pieces were also considered cultural relics, especially the five famous porcelains. Each piece was very precious and used to decorate the villa?
Zhang Lianzhi saw that the two of them had long been used to it and didn't agree with it at all. He bought everything from real money and played whatever he wanted. Being rich means being willful.
Wen Yiming moved his nose slightly, slowly walked to the display cabinet next to him, looked at the collection inside curiously, and asked, "Is this a clam Buddha?"
"Have eyesight!"
Zhang Lianzhi smiled and said, "It is the clam Buddha! According to historical records, at first, the ancients might have carved wooden pieces or clam shells into Buddha statues and placed them in the clam shell. A few years later, the Buddha statue was developed in the clam shell. This is the legendary clam Buddha."
He smiled but said nothing. The so-called clam Buddha was so magical that the folklore was actually just a Buddha-shaped bead nucleus made of the shell of Tamsui Hega. It was placed into the oyster's body and was stimulated by foreign objects. It was divided into pearly substances to surround the Buddha-shaped bead nucleus. Over time, the pearl cover layer gradually thickened, forming a pearl-like clam Buddha. However, each clam Buddha is extremely precious. The most famous one is the Eighteen clam Buddha buried with Empress Dowager Cixi, a rare treasure.
Su E of the Tang Dynasty recorded in "Duyang Zabian": Emperor Wenzong of Tang liked to eat oysters. One day, he was about to climb up the plate and went up. There were those who were chopped and not split. Wenzong suspected that it was different and burned incense to pay for it.
In a short while, the clams bloomed, and there were two people in them, with a beautiful appearance and a well-behaved constitution, with a snail bun and a garland, and a lotus feet, which was called a Bodhisattva. Emperor Wenzong then put a box of gold, millet, sandalwood, covered it with jade chips, and gave it to Xingshan Temple to pay tribute.
Wen Yiming looked at the clam Buddhas in front of him in surprise. They were as shiny as jade, and were made for at least a hundred years. Pearls are also fragrant materials and can be used as medicine. Compendium of Materia Medica records: Pearls are cold in nature, sweet and salty in taste, enter the Heart and Lung meridian, and have the effects of calming the heart and calming the heart and calming the heart, clearing the liver and removing cataracts, and regenerating the muscles and detoxifying.
Hu Jianmin saw Wen Yiming's thoughts and turned around and asked, "It's rare to like him. Lao Zhang, how about my face, you offer a price?"
"this……"
Zhang Lianzhi was stunned and looked at Wen Yiming curiously again. What was this young man's origin? How could Hu Jianmin take the initiative to ask for him?
Wen Yiming waved his hand and said with a smile: "Today I have the fate to visit Boss Zhang's favorite collection. Wen naturally cannot be stingy. Since that's the case, how about you please savor a stove of incense?"
Hu Jianmin laughed and patted Zhang Lianzhi on the shoulder and said, "You are lucky, I will understand what it means later!"
Zhang Lianzhi sat down in confusion, watching Wen Yiming start to smell the fragrance like flowing water, the light smoke was faint, and he was instantly addicted to it and could not extricate himself.
"It's really a divine fragrance!"
After the incense was over, Zhang Lianzhi held Wen Yiming's hand with a shocked face and said respectfully: "Please forgive Zhang for being ignorant of Mount Tai. I would like to forgive me if I am neglecting Mr.!"
Hu Jianmin laughed loudly, asking you to show off. The person who dared to show off in front of Mr. Wen has never seen him! The three of them sat down again, Zhang Lianzhi took out the clam Buddha and presented it with both hands and said, "It is also a blessing for the clam Buddha to be attracted to by the clam Buddha. It is considered a meeting gift. Please accept it with a smile."
Wen Yiming was not polite, so he accepted it directly, exchanged it with Jingxin incense, bartering it with fairness and reasonableness. Hu Jianmin nodded secretly, Zhang Lianzhi was not stupid, and a few clam Buddhas could make friends with such an expert as Wen Yiming, and he might be able to save his life in the future!
After lunch, the two left. It was still early. It was finally easy to come to Tianjin Port and just went to the local antique city. Wen Yiming was there, so maybe he could get a bargain.
"Sir, the master of the bargaining, I don't know what treasures I can find today?"
