As the saying goes, "an expert looks at the doorway, a layman looks at the excitement", and the most magical thing is the antique industry. China has been adhering to the tradition since ancient times, and it also makes many elderly people like to keep some old things, or collect and exchange some dated antiques. The objects in the collection can be said to be strange, and someone will always say, "Can this be an antique?" Sigh, or irony, or simple surprise. Once, an old farmer took a "vegetable stone" to a treasure hunt program. The audience burst into laughter after seeing what he brought, but the expert's valuation of this stone is 500 million yuan. What's the mystery?
As an ancient civilization with a history of 5,000 years, China has spread many precious cultural relics since ancient times. With the satisfaction of people's material life, more and more people pay attention to their spiritual enjoyment, among which antiques are sought after, and treasure-hunting programs emerge as the times require, bringing antiques to a new height. After all, as an ordinary person, it is difficult to distinguish the authenticity and value of antiques. Here, in addition to appreciating the artistic charm of antiques, it is also exciting when their value is revealed.

You can't judge a book by its cover. Just as water cannot be used in water.
In this article, the author wants to tell you that the old man who brought you treasure has an interesting relationship with his "vegetable stone". It is said that the old man has been living in the country, but he came across it when he was out fishing. At that time, he just thought it was beautiful, but because of environmental factors, he just took it home, and it happened that a "vegetable stone" was missing at home, so this stone took office day after day and year after year.
It was not until the old man happened to see a treasure hunt program and saw countless people holding their various items on the program that he remembered the "beautiful" stone in his home. After many years, it is still intact and has different characteristics from ordinary stones, which made the old man have the idea of identifying stones, so he took part in the treasure hunt plan with such a simple purpose.

At the beginning of the program, there was an introduction session, that is to say, the story between you and your collection was told, so the old man told the story exactly, and many viewers heard of "Cai Shi", which had already lost its luster in the work year after year. From the appearance, this stone looks particularly black as a whole, without any traces of carving and polishing. It looks like a roadside stone, which makes many viewers laugh. After all, although there are many cultural relics in China, there are also many cultural relics unearthed in the world over the years, but any stone picked up by the roadside is used for identification, which is even more dissatisfied with the waste of public resources.
It's not a stone, it's a heartbeat.
However, the reversal always comes quickly. After careful appraisal and investigation, many experts came to a unified conclusion that Tian Huangshi, known as the king of stones, was valued at 500 million yuan, which surprised the audience. Experts explained that this kind of stone was collected as early as 1000 years ago, and it was even more popular among collectors in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. This kind of stone generally has four colors: black, white, yellow and red. Tian Huangshi respects yellow. The darker the color, the higher the value. Calm and pure deep yellow is the basic tone, symbolizing wealth.
In ancient times, there was a saying that "one or two fields of yellow, three or two gold". The origin of Huangtian's name is also because it is a kind of yellow Yin Zhangshi produced in the fields of Shoushan Village, Shoushan Township, Fujian Province. There are very strict conditions for Tian Huangshi to be so valuable, that is, its origin is very limited, only in the narrow underwater sand layer on both sides of a stream in Shoushan Village, Fujian Province. As the old saying goes, "Less things are expensive, but more things are cheap." This makes the value of Tian Huangshi overweight again. In addition to delicate and moist texture, Huangtian Stone also has the characteristics of bright texture and pure color, which makes the precious Tian Huangshi affixed with a seal and makes the value of Tian Huangshi go up a storey still higher.
In ancient times, it was more popular that in the Qing Dynasty, Tian Huangshi, whose name appeared on the emperor's list of offering sacrifices to heaven, implied the auspicious meaning of "Fu (Fujian), Shou (Shoushan) and Huang (Tian Huang)". Also known as "Emperor Stone", it has the reputation of "Gold in Stone". According to legend, Emperor Qianlong, the longest reigning emperor in history, once dreamed of meeting the Jade Emperor. In the dream, the jade emperor gave him a yellow stone and gave him the words "blessing, longevity and heaven" to keep it well. An emperor on earth and an emperor in heaven met in the century, so that after waking up from a dream, Qianlong was consciously predicted by heaven. So he found the most learned man at that time, Ji Xiaolan, and asked him what that piece of Yellowstone was. It happened that Ji Xiaolan once.
Tian Huangshi
In fact, in the face of this seemingly "unremarkable" but ultimately "well-known" event, it can be said that it is very common in Jianbao programs. In modern China, due to the continuous wars in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, many cultural relics were scattered among the people. Due to various natural reasons such as topography and landforms, countless underground cultural relics always appeared among the people. This has also given many ordinary people the opportunity to find out, and because of this, many cultural relics have been dusty among the people.
Gold is easy to get, but Tian Huang is hard to find.
Tian Huangshi has been favored by collectors for hundreds of years. With the blessing of the story of indissoluble bond with the emperor, it is precious because of its single origin and scarce output. Now in the ranking market, it has exceeded the price of 654.38+0.5 million per gram. In 2004, Emperor Qianlong's Ota Yellow Frozen Seal (weight1.23g) was auctioned at Sotheby's auction company in Hong Kong, and the transaction price was 70%. In June, 200g, 165438+ 10, the paperweight of Tian Huangshi carved by Yang Yuxuan, a famous artist in Kangxi period, was sold at Sotheby's in Hong Kong for 39.32 million yuan, which was the highest price in the auction of Tian Huangshi at that time.
In May of 20 10, the frozen facade wall of Yang Yuxuan sculpture field Huangshi (weighing 88g) was sold in the spring auction of China Guardian Company for 6,543,800 yuan, equivalent to 6,543,800 yuan per gram, which created the highest price per gram at that time and made Tian Huangshi once again enter the center of collectors and media. A realistic version of the crazy stone of "one inch of rehmannia and one inch of gold" was staged. Experts even said that Tian Huangshi, who pressed vegetables in the old man's hand, was top grade in both texture and color. Experts made a "500 million" valuation, which made the audience unbelievable, but it was not aimless.
So how rare is Tian Huangshi? As we all know, expensive diamonds are the first choice. There are dozens of producing countries, even in China, there are several provinces that produce diamonds, and the diamond producing areas all over the world are millions of acres. There is only one China in the world: Shoushan Village and Zhongbantian in Fuzhou, with a total area of only 10.3 mu, and its value is beyond imagination.
At the same time, the old man who learned the result was also very excited. I didn't expect a stone that was just beautiful and picked up at home to have such high value. Later, someone said to buy it, but the old man refused. He said: "This stone can be regarded as my luck. I can't sell my luck. I want to pass it on to my descendants! " He also said that he came to the show just to know the identity of the stone, and then the old man left with the stone with satisfaction.

Under the long history of our country, there are many treasures that are dusty by pearls, among which the most are buried underground. But with the passage of time and the erosion of rain, some underground treasures have been rediscovered, so it is very likely that some treasures were accidentally found. Without professional knowledge of cultural relics, you can only pick them up at will. Most people don't have such professionalism and sharp eyes. Don't laugh at or despise people who have discriminating ability before you meet them. If they are covered with dust, someone will recognize them eventually. If it's just an ordinary item, it will live up to your original heart, curiosity or beauty.
In countless life lessons, people have long been told that "people can't judge a book by its cover", and the same is true. Many times, what has no sense of existence in life has amazing value, and the so-called silence has become a blockbuster, that's all.
