"Ladies and gentlemen, please look closely. Isn't there a miniature dragon inside this jade pendant? That's right, the dragon seemed to have squeezed itself in the moment this jade pendant was unearthed!" said the auctioneer with a light pen, pointing at the screen.
At today's auctions, organizers usually put up a big screen in the center of the stage.
The purpose of the screen is to allow the bidders to see the auction items.
Big items are visible to everyone and don't need the screen, but for small items, the screen can play a significant role.
Like this jade pendant, for example.
Everyone knows how big a worn jade pendant is, right? Pretty small! Of course, it can be seen, but now inside the auction hall, this jade pendant would seem so small, and perhaps bidders sitting close can see it, but what about those far away?
In order for all the bidders to see and participate in the bidding, such a screen is indispensable.
