As the most famous and largest antique market in the country, Yanjing Panjiayuan thrift market is absolutely pivotal in the modern antique circle in China.
"Climb the Great Wall, eat roast duck, and visit Panjiayuan."
These have become three indispensable things for domestic and foreign tourists to visit BJ!
Although Panjiayuan Market was officially established in 1992, it has only been more than 20 years now, compared with the history of Liulichang and the old Dong'an Market, it is far from the history of the West Imperial City, Chaoyang Gate, Beixiao City outside Desheng Gate, Xixiao City of Xuanwu Gate, Dongxiao City outside Chongwen Gate, etc., these old eight ghost cities in Yanjing cannot be compared, but in modern times, the old eight ghost cities are not to be said, there are few outsiders who know this name, and even Yanjing people's understanding of the eight ghost cities is only limited to legends, Liulichang, the old Dong'an market, these thrift markets are far behind Panjiayuan in terms of fame.
Don't look at the late establishment of the Panjiayuan thrift market, but the development speed of Panjiayuan is beyond the reach of other antique markets.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Panjiayuan thrift market is to the antique circles of China today, just as the wheat city is to the Green Church and the Vatican is to the Catholics.
People in Yanjing City know that there are always two places in the huge Yanjing City that are crowded, one is the Forbidden City Square, where all the people look up to watch the national flag raised; Another place is the Pan Jiayuan, where all the people keep their heads down in search of national treasures If you play antiques, if you say that you have never been to Panjiayuan in this life, it will make others laugh Yang Jing followed his grandfather to Panjiayuan a few times when he was a child, but he was still young at that time, and he basically had no impression of Panjiayuan, but he vaguely remembered that there were many people there and there were many stalls.
But today, when he came here by taxi, he found that this place was very different from the vague impression in his memory.
There are many more people here than I remember, and even though today is not Saturday, it is not the day of the Panjiayuan gathering, but there are still so many people here that make people a little dizzy.
At a glance, all the people were human heads, and their ears were full of bargaining sounds Yang Jing entered the Panjiayuan thrift market from the north gate, and as soon as he entered, he began to walk in a clockwise direction.
However, after walking around for half a circle, Yang Jing was disappointed.
It was really a big disappointment, because Yang Jing could clearly feel that the atmosphere here was not as hot as the legend.
Although there are many tourists here, many of the stalls are empty in broad daylight.
Even if some stalls opened, the business didn't seem to be very popular, and Yang Jing even didn't care about scruples and asked about the price in a few stalls, but the boss also ignored it.
At this time, Yang Jing understood the sentence "There is a plan for shipping in the early morning, it is really a fake practice."
"What the hell does it mean.
In fact, after more than 20 years of development, it is now rare for true connoisseurs to patronize the stalls here in broad daylight, and the old customers and vendors who often walk around Panjiayuan know that only the two days on weekends are the days of life.
The Panjiayuan thrift market is open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. from Monday to Friday, and on Saturday and Sunday, the market opens at 4:30 a.m.
Why is this happening?
It's because Saturday and Sunday are the days when the "ghost market" opens.
Because the "water" of the antique trade is too deep, if you want to exchange valuable old things in Panjiayuan, you must come to the "ghost market" on weekends.
There are many connoisseurs on these two days a week, and there are many good collections.
Naturally, the hawkers will be able to sell for a good price, and the buyers will naturally be able to find the real thing.
If you usually come to shop, there are relatively few genuine goods, which is basically a blind delay.
And the hawkers only put out the high imitation and high fake as souvenirs to do business for tourists and foreigners, to put it bluntly, they are confused to buy and sell.
It is precisely for this reason that this situation has been created that looks hot, but is actually very embarrassing.
Of course, the root cause of this situation lies in the "shrinkage" of the antique market.
The so-called "shrinkage" does not mean that there are fewer people who play antiques, on the contrary, under the current peaceful and prosperous era, more and more ordinary people have begun to play antiques, and there is a trend of "national antiques".
Now this "shrinkage" refers to the fact that there are fewer and fewer valuable real things in the antique market.
After a very hot period in the Chinese antiques industry at the beginning of this century, there are fewer and fewer real things.
It is no exaggeration to say that in the current antique market, 70 percent of the antique market is fake, 20 percent is new, 9 percent is used, and less than 1 percent is really valuable.
Isn't this statement too wild and a little appalling?
But it's actually true!
It's like Yang Jing was in the greenhouse area of the market, and Yang Jing saw a "box" of "old dzi", and it was the same as the nine-eyed pure dzi that the famous movie star Li Lianjie spent 20 million to invite from the lama temple a few years ago.
The old dzi invited by Li Lianjie is a calculation, and here it is "box by box".
Li Lianjie invited 20 million dzi for Lao Tianzhu, and here is ten yuan a piece, and his sister's amount is preferred And those so-called "jade", damn it, it can scare people at a glance.
Didn't you say that jadeite is honored with green?
That's no problem, buddy is full of green here, from seedling green to emerald, what green you want, we have what green here!
What's the horse?
Do you want a red frey?
Mu stuffy question, take a look at us here, can the blood jade be successful?
How much and how much to have Damn, what's this?
The jade gods of Liangzhu culture have many knots?
This thing is a national treasure, how big is the one in the Palace Museum?
It seems to be only more than 30 centimeters tall, right?
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
How big is this here?
More than a meter tall!
And you're not one of your sisters here, six or seven appeared at once!
Damn, I don't have such a slap in the face!
How can you make the Palace Museum embarrassed?
God, what's this?
Could this be the jade grip of the Han Dynasty?
Well, look at the style like.
But the jade grip of the Han Dynasty is a burial vessel, which is generally about ten centimeters long, just enough for the deceased to hold in his hand.
Why are you so big?
There's a foot, right?
Such a big jade grip can only be held by a ghost, right?
You're bullying us dead people who can't speak, aren't you?
In the used bookstall area on the west side of the market, there are more than 300 bookstalls from the north end to the south gate, and the people who follow the old smell of old books fill the entire alleyway.
And when you walk in this area, at a glance there are all antique rare books, from the Song to the Yuan to the Ming and Qing dynasties, from the official carvings to the fang carvings to the family carvings, as long as you can think of the rare books, you can see them all here.
Of course, if you want to study the authenticity of these "rare books", we advise you not to bother with it.
You only need to stand there and listen to the shouts of the bookstall owners to directly judge the authenticity of these "rare books".
The stall owners who set up stalls in this area will shout from time to time: "Two yuan a piece, throw it off!"
” Yang Jing even saw a lot of objects such as glass balls, Omega pocket watches, nine-turn Qiankun resin pimples, Qing Dynasty hollow brands imitated from Korean materials, pendants with dyed stones and silver, and so on.
There are a lot of these strange things that should be rare in the market, and they are all fakes produced in batches, and if you see them at one stall, you will see the same thing at other stalls nine times out of ten.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Yang Jing really couldn't believe that the fake could be so justified and domineering!
In the antique market in Tianqu, Yang Jing has not seen counterfeiting, but most of the counterfeits over there are scattered, where is it like here, counterfeiting has simply become a group and streamlined!
While Yang Jing was greatly disappointed, he also expressed extreme admiration!
