Chapter 462 Dragon-Shaped Jade Pendant



"Single forked horn, hair curled into a floating shape at the back of the head. The body is spiraling and undulating, covered in scales, and has ridges and teeth on the back."

"The limbs are bent, with negative lines carved on the shins, representing leg hair, and three claws, like eagle claws."

"This is a complete description of this dragon-patterned jade pendant. From the surface, it appears to have a significant flaw."

"However, this is also because, as it has been passed down from ancient times to the present, it is inevitable that things will have a certain impact on the value. However, if it encounters someone who knows the goods and understands the business, it will not have much of an impact."

Lin Han did not directly answer the question from the Patriarch of the Bai family, but analyzed the question for him.

For questions like this, there is naturally no need to explain them too clearly. We are all adults and smart people.

As long as some problems are explained, even people who have no knowledge of these antiques can understand what the problem is.

In addition, this dragon-patterned jade pendant originally belonged to the Bai family, and the Bai family knew a lot about him.

Lin Han said all this just to confirm their thoughts, so there was no need to explain it too clearly.

If you say that a family heirloom is worthless and shabby, wouldn't that be a loss of face for others?

"That's a good analysis. This dragon-patterned jade pendant was already like this when it was handed down in the early years."

"Perhaps it was because of those years of war that the country was destroyed and the family was ruined, causing our ancestors to be displaced and break the jade pendant."

"However, in the eyes of our Bai family, this little bump doesn't really matter."

The Patriarch of the Bai family nodded, confirming that Lin Han's analysis was correct, and said with certainty.

"Apart from this flaw, there isn't much else wrong with this jade pendant. The dragon carving is very fine."

"However, during the Song Dynasty, the jade dragon changed a lot, with various carving shapes, because the Song Dynasty continued the jade dragon of the Tang Dynasty, and there were many shapes."

"However, most of the jade dragons have more beautiful dragon patterns, with smooth lines and a special kind of beauty."

"Of course, since it was made during the Song Dynasty, it carries the unique characteristics of the Song Dynasty."

"Let me first popularize the characteristics of the jade dragons from the Tang Dynasty to the Patriarch Bai. The dragon patterns from the Tang Dynasty are characterized by an open mouth, which is smaller than that of the Tang Dynasty, a thicker upper lip, a curled lower lip, and the corners of the mouth are aligned with the corners of the eyes, and the eyes are diamond-shaped."

"In addition, the legs are curved and slender, the leg hair is short and sparse, and the claws are thick, which makes the horn shape very distinctive."

"The horns of jade dragons in the Song Dynasty were mostly near the dragon's eyes and on the upper part of the nose, and were single-pronged deer antler-shaped, which was different from the Song Dynasty."

"There is a long flowing hair at the back of the head, the hairstyle is relatively rough, and the dragon's body is engraved with dragon scales."

"Since the Song Dynasty, the Jade Dragon has developed into the 'Three Stops and Nine Likenesses', and is often accompanied by waves, clouds, and flowers and plants."

"However, although the Song Dynasty jade dragon continued the beauty of the Tang Dynasty, it laid the foundation for the dragon patterns of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties."

"This is enough to prove that the dragon-patterned jade pendants from the Song Dynasty have been recognized by later generations and have been widely circulated in the inheritance of dynasties."

"Of course, even if it continues to this day, the dragon jade from the Song Dynasty is worthy of recognition and imitation by modern art."

"Even those sophisticated instruments may not be able to produce such an exquisite dragon-shaped jade pendant."

Lin Han analyzed the shape of the jade pendant to the head of the Bai family again.

"Indeed, this jade pendant has been passed down from the Song Dynasty."

Lin Han's words were also affirmed by the head of the Bai family.

Of course, the head of the Bai family naturally knew these things, but he still wanted Lin Han to say them again.

It’s because he wanted to see Lin Han’s abilities and talent in appraising treasures.

He learned from Mr. Bai and Master Bai that the reason they lost the treasure appraisal auction and even lost their ancestral dragon-shaped jade pendant was entirely because of Lin Han's presence.

If Lin Han had not been there to assist Master Zhou, perhaps Master Bai would have won before the ten treasure appraisal auctions were over.

However, it was because of Lin Han's presence that Young Master Bai's great chance of winning was turned around by Young Master Zhou.

Of course, he had seen Lin Han’s abilities before at the Bai family, but it was just one treasure appraisal and it couldn’t explain everything.

Then, the head of the Bai family heard about Lin Han’s battle record again from Young Master Bai and Master Bai.

He couldn't help but develop a strong interest in Lin Han, so he also wanted to see Lin Han's abilities in person.

Although this ancestral jade pendant with dragon pattern had been taken away by Lin Han a long time ago, it had remained with him for quite some time.

However, no one knows whether Lin Han has truly studied this dragon-shaped jade pendant.

In addition, the Bai family's patriarch launched a surprise attack, and no one knew that he would let Lin Han demonstrate his treasure appraisal skills at the banquet.

After all, this is a transaction, a conversation, a conversation that determines the interests of both parties.

No matter who it is, no one wants to think of this as a treasure appraisal, a simple negotiation, or perhaps a happy dinner.

After all, if the head of the Bai family really manages to negotiate this matter, then Lin Han will be the one who suffers.

Since Lin Han is the one who suffers the loss, who would be willing to serve as a treasure appraiser for you for nothing and endure such humiliation?

Or maybe it was Lin Han who took the initiative, then the Bai family would naturally be full of hatred and would not have the heart to entertain a criminal.

What's more, the head of the Bai family also attacked suddenly under such extremely unexpected circumstances.

Lin Han must have been unprepared. When one is unprepared, that is when a person is at his weakest.

Starting from such a weak point, it is inevitable that Lin Han's true ability cannot be reflected.

Therefore, it is not unreasonable that the head of the Bai family chose to let Lin Han analyze the characteristics of the dragon-patterned jade pendant at this time.

After all, the Bai family already has Master Bai, a master of treasure appraisal.

They are all called masters of treasure appraisal. Naturally, they have spent more than ten years studying jade pendants like this one, which have been passed down from generation to generation.

If mistakes can still be made after more than ten years of research, then there is no need to be called a master of treasure appraisal.

This time, the head of the Bai family brought Master Bai here not only to make up for the mistakes he made.

He was also here to check and once again gave some affirmation to Lin Han's abilities.

True gold is not afraid of fire. If Lin Han really has the ability, he will definitely not be afraid of this sudden attack.

And sure enough, Lin Han did it, and everything he said was in line with the expectations of the Patriarch of the Bai family, Master Bai.

It has to be said that it is definitely not an easy task to be able to match others' efforts of more than ten years or even a few months in such a short period of time.

Such ability is worthy of recognition and is worth the Bai family's three percent stake.
