(古董局中局)\n\n**Mystery of Antiques** (古董局中局) is a Chinese adventure-mystery novel by Ma Boyong (马伯庸) about antique authentication, forgery, and the schemes surrounding them, and the media franchise adapted from it, which includes a 2018 web drama, two sequel series, a 2021 theatrical film, and a 2026 short drama reusing the title. The novel has been called an \"encyclopedia-style\" work on antique authentication, collection, forgery, and scheming, and had sold 1 million copies by the time the first television adaptation aired.[1](https://ent.people.com.cn/n1/2019/0114/c1012-30529082.html)\n\n| Key fact | Detail |\n|---|---|\n| Original novel | By Ma Boyong; about 1 million copies sold; four parts totaling roughly 1 million characters, the first part alone over 200,000 characters[1](https://ent.people.com.cn/n1/2019/0114/c1012-30529082.html) • [2](https://post.smzdm.com/p/a267leld/) |\n| Rights acquisition | Sun Hebin, CEO of Yijia Media, bought the adaptation rights in 2014; development took about four years[3](https://www.sohu.com/a/287808711_99965449) |\n| First web drama | Premiered December 26, 2018 on Tencent Video; directed by Wu Bai and Yu Qing; starring Xia Yu, Qiao Zhenyu, Cai Wenjing, and Chizuru Tanaka[4](https://www.bjnews.com.cn/detail/154562608614839.html) |\n| Douban reception (drama) | About 7.3 with more than 10,000 ratings shortly after broadcast; it had opened at 7.8 and fell as viewers criticized slow pacing[1](https://ent.people.com.cn/n1/2019/0114/c1012-30529082.html) • [5](https://www.jiemian.com/article/2778786.html) |\n| 2021 film | Directed by Derek Kwok (郭子健), starring Lei Jiayin, Li Xian, Ge You, and Xin Zhilei; released December 3, 2021; 225 million yuan (2.25亿元) in its first seven days[6](https://m.1905.com/m/news/vivo/1554734.shtml) • [7](https://ycpai.ycwb.com/ycppad/content/2021-12/10/content_40445145.html) |\n| Film reception | Douban opened at 6.6 and fell to 6.4 within three days; in the China Film Audience Satisfaction survey it showed the largest gap between general viewers (83.9) and professional viewers (73.3) of the winter 2021 slate[8](https://www.thepaper.cn/newsDetail_forward_15747914) • [9](https://www.cfa.org.cn/cfa/yj/lwby72/2023052309553455912/index.html) |\n\n## Spoilers\n\n### Plot\n\n#### Season 1\n\nBeijing, 1992. [Xu Yuan](https://www.edgepedia.org/xu-yuan) (Xia Yu) runs a shabby antiques stall, haggling and scraping by, with no idea that he belongs to the Xu family, the fabled \"Ming Eye\" whose judgment of jade and porcelain was once law in the collecting world. His grandfather Xu Yicheng, head of the Wucheng Society's five old families, was executed as a traitor during the [Cultural Revolution](https://www.edgepedia.org/cultural-revolution) after allegedly selling the national treasure, the Zeyuan Temple Buddha head, to the Japanese. When a Japanese delegation led by Kido Kana announces the head will be returned, the government needs a Xu to authenticate it, and Xu Yuan is dragged into a world of secret societies, five-family rivalries, and half-century-old grudges he never knew he inherited.\n\nThe first act is a gauntlet of appraisals, and they become the show's calling cards. In \"hanging-thread pulse reading,\" Xu Yuan dangles a cotton thread against a seal and feels whether it is stone or forgery. In \"隔空断金,\" he judges metal from across the room. Later episodes add the boiling-and-soaking method and the fire-infusion test, each staged as a duel of hands and eyes rather than a lecture. He is opposed and aided in shifting measure by Yao Buran (Qiao Zhenyu), the brilliant, arrogant heir of the Yao family, educated abroad and armed with Western scientific methods, who wants the Buddha head case solved his own way. Huang Yanyan (Cai Wenjing) of the Huang family, a sharp-shooting, hot-tempered daughter, and the gruff old masters of the other houses fill out the five families, each with secrets about what really happened in 1937.\n\nThe trail runs through Xi'an, where the Xu family's old network still operates, and into a booby-trapped secret tunnel built beneath the old temple grounds, a trap-filled underground sequence staged in a massive Beijing-suburb set. Xu Yuan learns the executed \"traitor\" narrative does not hold: his grandfather's confession was coerced, and the real question is not whether the returning head is genuine but what it is concealing.\n\n**The reveal the whole series pivots on: the Buddha head itself is hollow, and inside it hides a second, smaller Buddha head, the true treasure, sealed away decades earlier.** The head sent to Japan and the head coming back were never the same objects; the forgery was not a theft but a shell game to protect the real relic from wartime looting. Xu Yuan pieces this together through the authentication techniques the show has been teaching the audience all along, reading glaze, body, and wear that no forger could fake. The discovery reframes his grandfather's \"treason\" as a sacrifice: the Xu family took the blame so the genuine Buddha could survive.\n\nThe finale, shot with 500 extras at a public ceremony, brings the families, the Japanese delegation, and the state together around the head's unveiling. Xu Yuan publicly clears his grandfather's name, outmaneuvers the schemers who wanted the treasure buried with the old lie, and claims his place as the Ming Eye. Yao Buran walks away with his own account of the truth, leaving a rivalry that the franchise would pick up again.\n\n### Characters\n\n- **Xu Yuan** (Xia Yu): the reluctant heir, a streetwise dealer with an untrained but uncanny eye, who spends the series learning both his craft and his family's history. Xia Yu performed the thread-appraisal close-ups himself because no double could match his sleight of hand [20](https://www.jiemian.com/article/2761541.html).\n- **Yao Buran** (Qiao Zhenyu): the Yao family's golden boy, polished, wealthy, and convinced that science beats tradition. In the adaptation he was merged from two brothers in the novel, one schooled overseas with Western appraisal methods [21](https://www.ign.com.cn/gu-dong-ju-zhong-ju/27832/ju-ji-gu-dong-ju-zhong-ju-kai-nian-re-bo-zhi-gan-shi-zu).\n- **Huang Yanyan** (Cai Wenjing): the Huang family's sharp-shooting, hot-tempered daughter, Xu Yuan's ally and sparring partner in both detection and banter.\n- **Kido Kana**: the Japanese representative delivering the Buddha head, carrying her own family's half of the wartime secret.\n- **The five family elders**, including figures played by veterans such as Wang Gang, who vouched that the props could pass for real antiques [22](https://web.archive.org/web/20190812005233/http:/ent.ifeng.com/a/20171123/43007042_0.shtml).\n\n### Interpretations and controversies\n\nCritics split over pacing rather than plot. The Paper's review argued the adaptation bloated a 230,000-character novel into 36 episodes, leaving the first ten episodes thin on actual appraisal scenes and slow even at double speed [23](https://www.thepaper.cn/newsDetail_forward_2779174). The Beijing News faulted the 1990s period dressing for anachronisms such as transparent acrylic panels and the modern fashionable colors of Kido Kana's stockings [24](https://baike.baidu.com/en/item/Mystery%20of%20Antiques/988281) • [25](https://pediainside.com/wiki/%E5%8F%A4%E8%91%A3%E5%B1%80%E4%B8%AD%E5%B1%80). On the other side, [Fudan University](https://www.edgepedia.org/fudan-university) porcelain expert Zheng Jianming judged the authentication sequences to basically follow real appraisal principles [24](https://baike.baidu.com/en/item/Mystery%20of%20Antiques/988281), and the Qianjiang Evening News noted that the show introduces porcelain authentication steps such as observing shape, examining patterns, and identifying the body, citing classical texts [25](https://pediainside.com/wiki/%E5%8F%A4%E8%91%A3%E5%B1%80%E4%B8%AD%E5%B1%80).\n\n### Sequels, spin-offs, and adaptations\n\nThe series is the first of a three-work franchise [26](https://en.hkcinema.ru/film/32789), based on the first novel of Ma Boyong's trilogy. A later theatrical film adaptation followed, and a second season of the web series continued the story.\n\n## The novel\n\nThe story opens on an unresolved case from the period of resistance against Japan and uses antique authentication as its entry point, with the \"Five Lines\" (五脉), an alliance of antique-dealing families each with its own authentication specialty, as the backdrop.[10](https://m.thepaper.cn/newsDetail_forward_2980114) The protagonist Xu Yuan (许愿) is the owner of a small antique shop who learns of his family's complicated history and is drawn into a long-buried scheme in the antique world.[4](https://www.bjnews.com.cn/detail/154562608614839.html) Readers rank it among the top three of Ma Boyong's novels.[10](https://m.thepaper.cn/newsDetail_forward_2980114)\n\nThe novel's appeal rests heavily on detail: it spends extensive passages on the knowledge and techniques of authentication, and the immersive quality of that writing is what readers cite as its pleasure.[8](https://www.thepaper.cn/newsDetail_forward_15747914) The full work runs to four parts of roughly 1 million characters in total.[2](https://post.smzdm.com/p/a267leld/)\n\n## The 2018 web drama\n\n**Development.** In 2014, when tomb-raiding adaptations dominated the web-drama market, producer Sun Hebin was looking for a genre title that was not yet first-tier but might break out; after reading the novel he bought the rights immediately and entered script development.[3](https://www.sohu.com/a/287808711_99965449) Early concepts included a 40-episode format of 20 minutes per episode and a \"fantasy version\" with play-within-a-play scenes in which the hero conversed with antiques; the team abandoned these as form overwhelming content.[3](https://www.sohu.com/a/287808711_99965449) For a year or two no company besides Yijia dared to take on the project, until Tencent Pictures introduced the script to director Wu Bai (五百).[10](https://m.thepaper.cn/newsDetail_forward_2980114)\n\nThe series went to air on December 26, 2018 as a [Tencent Video](https://www.edgepedia.org/tencent-video) exclusive, with two episodes each Wednesday through Friday.[4](https://www.bjnews.com.cn/detail/154562608614839.html) Xia Yu played Xu Yuan, with Qiao Zhenyu as the tech-savvy appraiser Yao Buran, Cai Wenjing as the socialite Huang Yanyan, and Chizuru Tanaka as the mysterious Japanese woman Kido Kana; Pan Yueming appeared as Xia Yu's character's grandfather.[4](https://www.bjnews.com.cn/detail/154562608614839.html)\n\n**Adaptation choices.** Screenwriters Liu Yinshi and Lu Yuan restructured the novel for television: they moved Kido Kana's entrance earlier to deliver a key clue sooner, advanced Yao Buran's provocation of Xu Yuan to build suspense, and turned a solo adventure into a four-person ensemble. Ma Boyong told them to adapt boldly, and the writers treated fidelity to the novel's spirit, not its letter, as their standard.[11](https://www.jiemian.com/article/2755828.html)\n\n**Reception.** The drama drew praise for its pacing and for acting that viewers described as having film quality, and reached a Douban score above 7.3 with over 10,000 ratings within weeks.[1](https://ent.people.com.cn/n1/2019/0114/c1012-30529082.html) The score later slipped from a debut 7.8 to 7.3, with slow pacing the most cited cause.[5](https://www.jiemian.com/article/2778786.html) Director Wu Bai described it as a show for patient viewers that would not suit everyone.[10](https://m.thepaper.cn/newsDetail_forward_2980114) The same year saw *The Longest Day in Chang'an* and *Secret of the Three Kingdoms* reach the screen, and Chinese commentary dubbed 2018 \"Ma Boyong's film and television year\"; in all these adaptations Ma Boyong participated only as the original author.[12](https://edu.zjol.com.cn/jyjsb/202011/t20201104_21621723.shtml)\n\n## Sequel series\n\nThe second season, *Mystery of Antiques S2: Jianmo Xunci* (古董局中局之鉴墨寻瓷), starring Xia Yu, Wei Chen, and Aliya, premiered on May 10, 2020 on Tencent Video and iQiyi.[13](https://static.cninfo.com.cn/finalpage/2020-12-08/1208864733.PDF) • [14](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKnTQMTir48) It follows Xu Yuan's continued pursuit of the antique-forging ring known as \"Lao Chaofeng\" (老朝奉), and a claim that the *Along the River During the Qingming Festival* in the Palace Museum is a fake, which forces him at one point to work with his enemy.[14](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKnTQMTir48) A third series, *Gudong Ju Zhongju zhi Lüebao Qingdan* (古董局中局之掠宝清单), was airing by mid-2021.[15](https://doss.xhby.net/zpaper/yzwb/pc/att/202107/29/c7db8e0b-9435-44d2-a1e5-99414603d613.pdf) The second season was the most criticized entry: viewers cited a largely replaced cast and visibly reduced production values, and even favorable reviews suggested the 36-episode adaptation of a 200,000-character first novel would have been stronger at around 20 episodes.[2](https://post.smzdm.com/p/a267leld/)\n\n## The 2021 film\n\nThe theatrical film, released December 3, 2021, was directed by Derek Kwok and starred Lei Jiayin as Xu Yuan, with [Li Xian](https://www.edgepedia.org/li-xian), Ge You, and Xin Zhilei.[6](https://m.1905.com/m/news/vivo/1554734.shtml) It adapts the novel's \"Buddha head case\": Xu Yuan's grandfather Xu Yicheng was executed for treason after allegedly giving the Buddha head from [Wu Zetian](https://www.edgepedia.org/wu-zetian)'s Mingtang to the Japanese Kido family, and when the Kido heir offers to return the head in the 1990s, naming Xu Yuan as receiver, Xu Yuan sets out to prove the head his grandfather sent may have been a fake.[7](https://ycpai.ycwb.com/ycppad/content/2021-12/10/content_40445145.html)\n\nThe film earned 225 million yuan in its first seven days and led the daily box office throughout that week, but its reception split. Ticketing platforms scored it 8.9, while Douban gave 6.4.[7](https://ycpai.ycwb.com/ycppad/content/2021-12/10/content_40445145.html) In the China Film Audience Satisfaction survey conducted by the China Film Art Research Center with Yien, it recorded the largest gap between general-audience (83.9) and professional-audience (73.3) scores of the winter 2021 slate.[9](https://www.cfa.org.cn/cfa/yj/lwby72/2023052309553455912/index.html) Critics attributed the divide to weakened authentication scenes, with the story drifting toward an escape-room style, and to characters whose motives were not credibly established, leaving the film to rely on action set pieces and Ge You's comedy rather than genuine suspense.[7](https://ycpai.ycwb.com/ycppad/content/2021-12/10/content_40445145.html) • [16](https://www.chinawriter.com.cn/n1/2021/1221/c419388-32313178.html) Ma Boyong himself, after the premiere, called the flaws minor relative to the whole.[17](https://wapbaike.baidu.com/item/%E5%8F%A4%E8%91%A3%E5%B1%80%E4%B8%AD%E5%B1%80/20485062)\n\n## Later and other adaptations\n\nA crowdfunded derivative puzzle diary, *Wujinzang* (无尽藏), was in production as of early 2019.[18](https://finance.sina.cn/2019-03-25/detail-ihsxncvh5427876.d.html?vt=4) A 2026 short drama also titled *Gudong Ju Zhongju*, unrelated in cast and story, runs 57 episodes on iQiyi; it follows a down-and-out young man named Lin Chuan who awakens an ability to hear antiques \"speak\" and investigates a cultural-relic disappearance case.[19](https://www.iqiyi.com/a_zssjpq2kex.html)\n\n## References\n\n1.
