Zhou Nanquan jade stool dispute.

20 1 1,1/0/On October 9th, a jade stool of the Han Dynasty was auctioned at the special auction of quaint collection in ancient jade, with a price of1.800 million yuan, which was finally sold for 220 million yuan, setting a new record for jade auction. At the beginning of 20 12, many netizens posted that the "jade stool of Han Dynasty" was fake.

Zhu Ming, senior consultant of Sino-auction, described the process of lot identification: On June 20 10, after the lot was collected in Hebei, Sino-auction specially invited Mr. Zhou Nanquan, the research librarian of the Palace Museum, to visually identify the lot and identify it as "Han Dynasty", and issued an identification certificate.

Zhou Nanquan's appraisal certificate shows: "Name: jade dresser chair", "Year: Han", "Texture: jade" and "Expert appraisal: crystal clear and moist quality, antique, antique Qin ... exquisite craftsmanship, vivid and magical body line, rare shape, which has important collection and research value."

However, Zhang Ning, vice president of the Cultural Relics Appraisal Committee of the China Cultural Relics Society, said: "In the Han Dynasty, people sat on the floor. At that time, there was no concept of a stool in China, and such a stool was not available until the Song Dynasty. " Some experts also said that from the picture of "sitting stool in Han dynasty", it belongs to "sitting high", which does not conform to the ritual system and aristocratic cultural characteristics of Han dynasty. The collective questioning from all sides pushed Zhou Nanquan, who issued the appraisal certificate for this lot, to the forefront. Zhou Nanquan firmly stated that it cannot be concluded that there were no stools in the Han Dynasty. Based on the comprehensive judgment of jade quality, Qin color, patina, craft and decoration, this object conforms to the characteristics of jade in Han Dynasty, and its own "appraisal conclusion is correct". Moreover, there are no economic irregularities in the appraisal process. As an appraisal expert hired by the auction company, his salary is only 600 yuan every month, and no matter how many appraisals.

Yao Zheng, director of the Jade Committee of China Collectors Association, issued a document saying: "Zhou Lao is still alive", and the jade stool in Han Dynasty is a "national treasure that shakes the world", which is 220 million yuan cheaper, 1 100 million yuan or more.
