100 Depot 2

The first one is a jade pendant, which you don’t need to get started. Just take a look and you will know that it is 100% fake. Not to mention that it does not look as smart as jade, just the dead light will tell that it is glass.

The second piece was a set of copper coins. Jian'er walked up to her and wanted to take a closer look. The string of copper coins were stringed with a red rope, a total of five, and they looked very simple. Even the tied red rope had a nostalgic feeling, but Jian'er just stood beside her and sniffed, but she didn't pick it up. Although it was very light, Jian'er still smelled a chemical agent from it.

The third and fourth... Jian'er was not in a hurry, because this thing was originally a meticulous job and was too anxious.

When he saw most of the time, a jade cicada came into Jian'er's eyes. A few gentle and simple knifes portrayed a cicada vividly. It can be said that it was deeply rooted in the essence of the eight swords of Han. Jian'er stretched out her hand for the first time and gently took the jade cicada into the palm of her hand.

In ancient Chinese culture, cicadas are a very common accessory. Cicadas are the eternal theme of Chinese jade culture. In the eight thousand years of jade culture history, no jade can accompany it as long as jade cicadas, which is a very rare cultural phenomenon. Throughout history, cicadas represent different meanings.

It was the first meaning at the beginning, which represented the symbol of totem. "The General History of Concise China" says: "The Huangdi clan had the Chong Qiao clan, the Huangdi Shaodian clan, the Shennong clan Shenlong clan, the Yao clan You E clan, and the Shun clan Qiongchan clan." "Records of the Grand Historian. The Records of the Five Emperors" says: "The son of Emperor Zhuanxu was called Qiongchan." These are all named totem names, and the "Qiongchan clan" of Emperor Shun's clan may be a tribe that uses cicadas as its totem.

Second, cicadas are symbols of regeneration. After the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the consciousness of cicadas as totem symbols gradually faded, but the love for cicadas is still there, and objects with many cicadas' images are often worn in daily life.

Each dynasty has its own characteristics. The Han Dynasty was the heyday of the jade cicada. Influenced by the pre-Qin thought, people in the Han Dynasty believed in Fangxian Taoism, fantasized about becoming an immortal after death and enjoying the joy of life in the sun forever. The life process and habits of cicadas are just like immortals. "Zhuangzi. Xiaoyaoyou" describes the immortals: "Don't eat grains, suck the wind and drink dew. Riding on the clouds, controlling the flying dragons, and traveling to the four seas." The ancients believed that after the cicadas transformed and reborn, they did not eat the fireworks of the world, only drinking morning dew and wings.

Floating and free and easy also entrusted the ancients' hope for life after death, so jade cicadas in the Han Dynasty can usually be divided into three categories: cicadas (with holes on the top of the head and can be worn), cicadas (used to decorate hats) and cicadas (without perforations and used as burial items). Cicadas are the characteristics of the Han Dynasty. Its carving is a rigid and concise line, and it is completed with just a few knives, and it is full of tension. In the Han Dynasty, cicadas are popular with cicadas to bury, hoping that those who die will hold jade cicadas and can become immortals like cicadas or regenerate back and forth.

After the Tang and Song Dynasties, cicadas were rarely seen. At this time, the third meaning of jade cicadas also appeared. Jade cicadas became the representative of nobility. "Cicadas are high and crying and drinking dew." Its image of poverty and nobleness was highly praised by literati at that time. They wore cicadas (hats decorated with jade cicadas) to show their awesomeness, and used cicadas to express their emotions and express their aspirations through objects. Many poems about cicadas were published during this period, and the most famous ones were the "Three Greatest Symbols of Cicadas" in the Tang Dynasty. Li Shangyin's "It was originally difficult to fill the cicadas, but it was futile and hate to lose their voices"; Luo Binwang's "No one believes in nobility, who can express his heart" and Yu Shinan's "Holding loudly and far away from it. It is not by the autumn wind" are all popular sentences.

To this day, jade cicadas are still one of the most popular ornaments of the Chinese people. There are many auspicious words among the people: children are smarter in reading, and they are "cicadas" (also known as cicadas); businessmen wear cicadas and have a prosperous business, called "rich-loving"; those who enter the government embrace cicadas and signify success in their careers. "Step by surprise"; sports athletes are expected to achieve results, "winning the championship again", etc., etc.

After getting the jade cicada, Jian'er looked carefully and saw that the jade cicada was about five to six centimeters long and about three centimeters wide. The carving of the Han Badao was simple and ancient, and it was carved with only a few knives, with strong and vigorous lines. The cicada's body was covered with red hair. According to the cross lines of the cicada's belly, it can be seen that it should be a male cicada. The cicada's body has no perforations, so it can be seen that it should be a burial jade with a mouth.

Then I looked at the feel. The first feeling of this jade cicada when I bought it was very "oil", and even felt like I could suck my hands, just like touching a piece of delicate oil. Jian'er couldn't help but caress every inch of the jade cicada. The smooth feel made Jian'er couldn't help but admire it. What a jade! The same feel as the Hetian jade that Lu Zong had touched by Jian'er in the space. Just based on his body's memory, Jian'er could determine that this was a Hetian jade cicada.

Just as Jian'er was amazed, the touch from her hands suddenly made her stunned for a moment, and she couldn't help but touch it carefully. It turned out that when Jian'er touched the cicada's abdomen, a strange feeling hit her heart. This feeling was hard to explain that the jade was still Hetian jade, but somehow it felt like it was a bit different from the material on the cicada's back.

This is a very difficult feeling to describe, just like the leaves of the same tree, but the patterns of the leaves cannot be the same. Although they are Hetian jade and the color texture is very similar, Jian'er just feels like two different pieces of materials are spliced ​​together. Jian'er raised the jade cicada and looked at the strong light placed aside again. Although there was no magnifying glass, Jian'er's current eyesight still saw the flaws with the help of the strong light. This was indeed spliced, but this skill was too exquisite. Although it was repaired, the whole jade cicada looked integrated. If it weren't for Jian'er's current sensitive feeling and the eyes that could be called mutated, ordinary people would not be able to see it even with the help of the strong light. It made people admire the exquisite craftsmanship of the repairer.

Since something was wrong, Jian'er could only sigh and regretfully put the jade cicada back to its original place.

Looking at Jian'er's series of actions, Mr. Song also understood that Jian'er must have seen the mystery and nodded. This girl is indeed not simple. You must know that if it weren't for the jade cicada he asked his old friends in the circle to help him fix it, just pick it up like this without magnifying glass and putting it in a strong light to look carefully, maybe even he might have been able to get it.

Unexpectedly, when looking at Jian'er's movements, he could feel that it was wrong based on his touch, and then he just placed it under the strong light. He could see the flaws in his eyes by his naked eyes. This was a bit incredible in Old Master Song's eyes. He opened his eyes wide and stared at Jian'er's hand tightly. This was the second time. Except for Mr. Song who had seen this unique skill in Old Master Huang in City B, this was the first time he had seen it again on a young girl. Could it be that this girl is really a big disciple in the circle? It would be that Mr. Huang, otherwise how could he have this unique skill in Old Master Huang? It would be wrong. If he was really Mr. Huang's loudspeaker, with Mr. Huang's big speaker nature, it would be absolutely impossible to show off such an outstanding disciple.

Besides the unique skill of using hands to perceive, Mr. Song also found that Jian'er did not use a magnifying glass behind him, but the position where Jian'er's last movement paused was the interface, which shows that Jian'er really could not see the flaws in it based on his inner eyes. This is almost impossible. As far as Mr. Song knew, even Mr. Huang could not do this. Especially not long ago, he heard Mr. Huang sigh that several disciples were not talented enough, and his unique skill could be brought to the grave. But why..., thinking about it this way, it should have nothing to do with Mr. Huang, but which junior in the circle is the one who is the master in the circle? After thinking for a long time, he really couldn't think of it. Mr. Song opened his mouth. He was about to ask something but didn't have time to speak out, so he had to swallow his stomach full of questions back, because Jian'er had already started to look at the next object again...

This time Mr. Song was even more expectant. Perhaps this girl could give him a surprise.

The anticipated eyes moved with Jian'er's movements until Jian'er picked up a string of very inconspicuous bracelets. Old Master Song's eyes flashed, and a hint of relief stained his eyes.

Just looking at the wood and smelling it, Jian'er knew that the material used for this inconspicuous bracelet is precious agarwood, and it is an old Brunei agarwood. The reason why Jian'er dares to be so sure is that Jian'er has seen this thing, because Lu Wang likes the aroma of agarwood very much. For this reason, she also taught Jian'er how to identify good agarwood. Although Lu Wang's agarwood is not made into bracelets like Mr. Song, Jian'er can conclude from the characteristics of the wood and the faint fragrance that it emits. Although Jian'er can't tell that it is the old Brunei agarwood. Although this small bunch is put outside, it is also valuable.

Just when Mr. Song wanted to laugh loudly, Jian'er did an action that surprised Mr. Song. She actually put the agarwood bracelet back in place. She swallowed the laughter and Mr. Song's eyebrows frowned instantly. How did this happen?

Jian'er put down her bracelets and picked up a string of Buddhist beads placed next to her, then raised her head and signaled to the old man that she had already chosen.

Mr. Song frowned even more: "Girl, do you know what you chose?"

Jian'er nodded affirmatively.

"That's it? Don't change it?" The old man couldn't help asking again.

Jian'er nodded again.

He turned his gaze to the agarwood bracelet that Jian'er had just picked up and asked, "Girl, do you know what this is?"

"Brunei old agarwood bracelet." The answer was straightforward.

"What about you?" Mr. Song was even more strange now. Since he wasn't ignorant, what...?

Jian'er smiled and said, "Old man, tell me first, did I really give it to me if I chose? I will never regret it?"

"Of course, I can still lie to you a little girl at the age of age."
