Zhou has been at pan's home for over 20 years and has never seen such a battle this year。
Last month, a southerner in a polo shirt was crouched. In front of him, he had a big piece of jade in his hand, and he looked over and over for 40 minutes. They didn't cut the price and paid $280,000. It was only later that zhou found out that the jade was a diarrhea for the war nations, which could be tripled in the auction house。
"this year's quake has gone crazy." old zhou has strangled the walnuts in his hand, and he's got some incredible tone。
He's not exaggerating. In the spring of hong kong, sufuby, a western han white geese, which is no more than 15 centimetres long, estimates between hk$ 8 million and hk$ 12 million, and finally hk$ 2. 164 million, plus commission payments equal nearly 20 million yuan. The moment the auctioneer dropped the hammer, there was a lamenting — not a pity, a relief, as if the price had been waiting for years。
It's more exaggerating, with a 100% turnover rate and a premium. A merchant, valued at $600,000, stopped at 1. 7 million. A financial buyer later said at the wine table, "stocks i dare not in, i dared."
It's a suture. The light's coming in
The waters of gao guangyu were deep in the past because of tight policy regulations. Antiquities cannot be filmed, private trades are like wires, and many players have good things in their hands, hiding and not taking them out。
But the wind is changing. Since the beginning of 2026, the northern provinces of heilongjiang and shanxi have been upgrading the system of digital documentation of collections of cultural objects and opening up the register of individual voluntary rights to register with gao yu. What do you mean? It's the jade you've got. If it's clear and orderly, you can go to the official register and get an id。
How much is this id worth? It has been calculated that the same item, with and without filing, represents a gap of 30 per cent in the valuation of the auction. More crucially, the return abroad, if completed within the country, would be tantamount to abating identity and providing direct access to the channels of circulation。
In private, an expert who had worked chinese art for 15 years in sofuby said, "this year, the number of high jade returns is almost double the number last year, and the quality is significantly higher. The hideers used to be in trouble and the good stuff was in the safe. Now the policy is loose, the water is flowing."
What is the value of ancient jade
A lot of people say it's because it's old. But always is a precondition, not a reason. What's the difference
First, the year is hard enough。
There's an unwritten threshold in the gao-yu industry: handy and before it was "goo-goo," and tang song is "sing-go". Why is it so dead? Because handai is the first peak of the chinese jade weapon, the battle-time jade cure is still impressive today. And han's old jade, it's too small. Archaeological discoveries are found in museums, which are popular, and that's all。
Second, the process is sophisticated。
The old player looked at the jade, the first time he looked at the color, the work marks. Scrambles of war-era silk, thin lines, can end with a single cut. This kind of craftsmanship cannot be learned for 20 years, and many of them have been lost. And let the master of the jade statues of this day be imitated, and he will not be able to copy it。
Last year, a warlike country's jade dynasty came into the market, and it was made in perfect fashion, and several newcomers left behind. And finally, he was recognized by a 20-year-old tibetan who played in gagyu -- he took a magnifying glass for 10 minutes and said, "it's too clean. The ancients are fighting against the stone, their hands are steady, and they can't stabilize the machine."
Third, there's not enough。
That is the truth. It's the most expensive ceremonial instrument, because the ceremonial instrument is the weight of the land, not the common man. And the jade, and the jade, and the jade, except for those who are full and clear, and one less. On the other hand, the scraps, the fabrics, though old, are far from being priced。
Fourth, culture is deep enough。
The real gao-yu tibetan must be playing culture at the end. What's on a piece of jade? The grains, the brushes, the clouds, the thunders. What type of instrument is used on what occasion? For heaven's sake, for the altars, and for the nobles a set of jade, and for war. You know that to understand a civilization behind a jade。
One of beijing's senior tibetans said, "kakuyu is a history book on his body."
Where'd you start
There is consensus on the depths of the ancient waters. But that does not mean that no newcomers can play. The key is to find access。
First, learn to buy. Don't rush, go to the museum to see objects, go to the auction house to see the preview, go to the bookstore to pick up a few professional books and eat them. The collection of china's topaz excerpts, and the collection of the imperial palace museums, are all fundamental. You take one look at the market, you lose one house; you spend a year on books, you lose 10 years on the road。
Second, start with small pieces. There are also pro-people goods in the ancient jade — the jade pipe, the jade bead, the jade piece — and tens of thousands of dollars to buy old things that open doors. Don't come up here and stare at them. They're professional players。
Third, find a good lead. In this business, the accent is more important than the certificate. Whose eyes are good, and whose hearts are well known. More important than buying something。
Fourth, hold the line. Don't touch it if it's cheap. In the case of takayu, compliance is a lifeline, so don't pick yourself up for a moment。
The southerner, who spent 280,000 on jade, came to beijing six months later and this time went directly to the auction house to register the plate. He said, "it's really good, but what i'm more impressed with is that it can go right now."
Collect this road, after all, it's something, it's the heart. It is not only the price, but the light, which has been warm for more than 2,000 years, and the opportunity to speak with the ancients in the palms。
