Chapter seven hundred and thirty eight true and false

There were three items left on the table, all of which were fakes from Xuan Qi's mouth. These three antiques were exquisite. The blue-glazed porcelain vase from Ru kiln was not visible in the era. The last one was a wide open door, with flawless Yuan blue and white porcelain, which was even more precious than the Ru kiln porcelain vase.

Antiques can be passed down through history and passed down from generation to generation. There are not many things passed down from generation to generation. Compared with artworks such as calligraphy, paintings, ceramics, bronzes, gold and silver ware, etc., which are easy to preserve, some are also very hurt. Good antiques passed down from generation to generation not only have a great value, but also have to meet a buyer who knows how to collect them carefully. Antiques that are damaged by poor storage every year are numbers that everyone is unwilling to mention.

Xuan Qi picked up the Ru kiln green glaze porcelain bottle and reached out to touch the opening on the bottle. The opening on the Ru porcelain tablet was a unique one. The opening was formed because of a glaze surface defect caused by the utensils at high temperature. In the jargon, it is called glaze collapse. Faced with this defect, the craftsman transformed the glaze disease that is difficult to control and ever-changing, and it was transformed into a natural and wonderful decoration through artificial operations. The control was just right, which was a unique skill of ingenuity.

The glaze surface is relatively fine, mostly slanted and cracked, with depths intertwined and overlapping, like silver-shining fish scales or cicada wing patterns, giving people an orderly layered sense. The fine trachoma in the glaze is cicada pattern, sesame flower and crab claw pattern. There are typical orange peel glaze, borneol glaze, and tea leaves. It has become a flaw, but has become a major feature of Ru kiln.

Xuan Qi waved the Ru kiln green glaze porcelain bottle in his hand and said softly: "Ru kiln began in the late Northern Song Dynasty and is famous for firing celadon, including sky green, bean green, and pink green. The celadon of Ru kiln contains agate in the glaze, green color, and glaze juice is as bright as a pile of fat, which has the reputation of being like jade but not jade. It is known as the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty together with the official kiln, Ge kiln, Jun kiln and Ding kiln. Ru kiln has only been prosperous for twenty years. Due to the short firing time, it is rare to see the original products that have been passed down to this day. There are only a few dozen pieces, which are extremely precious."

"This green glaze porcelain bottle, whether in terms of body color or glaze color, is undoubtedly the authentic product. The shape and opening pattern are also very consistent with the characteristics of the times. Even the bottom of the pot was made with three nails. The reason why it was faked is so good that this handicraft is unique." Xuan Qi said as he slowly placed the green glaze porcelain bottle on the table.

Mr. Li, who had been a little angry, saw Xuan Qi say something fake, and he swore that he was fake. He was not happy at this moment. He opened his mouth and said, "Since it is so perfect, it is true. How could it be fake? I spent 200 million to buy this Ru kiln green glaze porcelain bottle, how did it become a craft? You must make it clear today."

From the fifth year of Chongning in Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty to the first year of Zhezong, it was the heyday of Ru porcelain development. At that time, the royal family of the Northern Song Dynasty spared no effort and ordered Ruzhou to make celadon because the white porcelain in Dingzhou was rugged. The rulers thought it was unbearable and ordered Ruzhou to make celadon. Since then, Ru porcelain has been selected as the royal treasure, with precious agate as glaze, with unique color and agate as glaze. The color of the glaze changes as the sky is clear and the clouds are broken, and it is warm and simple. The surface of the vessel is made of cicada wing patterns and small open pieces, and is known as pear skin, crab claws and sesame flowers. Since the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, the Ru porcelain used in the palace was kept as treasures, and it is considered as precious treasures and the Shang Yi and Zhou tripods.

It is precisely because of the small number of existences and mostly used by the court that Ru porcelain passed down from generation to generation is even rarer, and is particularly highly praised among the high-ranking officials and nobles among the people. It is even more said: Even if there is a wealth of wealth, it is not as good as Ru porcelain. This shows that the scarcity and preciousness of Ru porcelain is, so the 200 million yuan mentioned by Mr. Li is not a boast but a fact. Mr. Li was happy for a long time and thought he had found a vacancy. If he spent 200 million yuan to buy a handicraft, it would not be a vacancy, but a very large stupid mallet.

Xuan Qi pointed to the Ru kiln green glaze porcelain bottle on the table and said, "It seems that someone has restored the Ru kiln technology and thought it was seamless, but unfortunately he showed his feet when he was so proud." Xuan Qi's eyes shone and pointed to the Ru kiln porcelain bottle and said, "He actually left a abbreviated Chinese character on the inner wall of the porcelain bottle. If it weren't for this flaw, I would have thought that this Ru kiln green glaze porcelain bottle was real."

Of course, Xuan Qi didn't tell the truth. He also used Qi-enlightenment techniques to see that the Ru kiln green glaze porcelain bottle had no spiritual energy at all, but the shape of the instrument was so real. Then he carefully played with it, and the fake things were really perfect. If this craftsman had not been proud and ostentatious, Xuan Qi would probably not be able to explain this matter clearly.

The news of "Abbreviated Chinese Characters" made everyone feel like they were struck by lightning. You should know that the abbreviated Chinese characters only appeared after the establishment of the new regime. For thousands of years, China has been traditional Chinese characters written in brushes. If there is really a simplified Chinese character in this bottle, then this bottle that looks like a genuine product must be fake.

Li Mo couldn't help but calm down. He picked up the bottle on the table, groped in the bottle with his fingers, and soon touched the Chinese character Xuan Qi said. Li Mo's face, which was a little dissatisfied, suddenly changed color, and his body trembled involuntarily. He didn't hold the bottle in his hand and fell to the ground with a bang.

The porcelain bottle worth 200 million yuan turned into pieces. Old Master Li did not care about the fragments all over the ground, but looked at Li Mo and asked, "What words are written inside?" Li Mo was in a daze and did not speak. This porcelain bottle was bought by him who suggested that his grandfather buy it. Who knew that such a real thing turned out to be a fake.

The five-member group immediately leaned over and began to search on the ground. Soon Lu Guangyan found the fragments with words, picked them up and looked at them, "It's still an English letter, and I drew a horizontal line on the X. What's the word? Or what does it mean?"

Everyone around them shook their heads in a hunch. Unexpectedly, the counterfeiter left such a thing in the bottle. A horizontal stroke on X was drawn. Is it a secret code?

"What X" Xuan Qi was speechless and picked up another piece he picked up: "You took it wrong, and it was only half." He said that, and handed the piece in his hand to Lu Guangyan.

The two pieces were put together, and the five-person group then saw clearly: "This is a Zhao abbreviated by Zhao." Before the founding of the country, there was no abbreviation of Chinese characters. Zhao was the sap, and there was a zodiac on the character "Travel", and the abbreviation was gone. After the abbreviation, it was replaced with a fork, and the pictographic dot was an X

These five are all knowledgeable people. They can distinguish new marks and old marks. The character Zhao was carved on porcelain or embryos, so it fits in the shape of the entire instrument, rather than deliberately making a fake later on someone to carve seals.

Looking at the porcelain pieces in his hand, Old Master Li sighed leisurely, then looked at Li Mo and said, "You don't have to take it to your heart. Being able to make fake things into reality is their ability. You can't take such a small amount of money to heart, just take it as a lesson" As he said that, Old Master Li began to comfort Li Mo again: "It's not just you who have left the eye, but everyone else has left the eye, so you really don't have to take it to heart."

Li Mo nodded slowly. Although he still had a bump in his heart, his face was very normal. However, the envy, jealousy and hatred in his heart had become like wildfire and was out of control.

After confirming that Ru kiln green glaze porcelain bottle was a fake, Xuan Qi reached out and picked up the bronze tripod again. Time left heavy marks on this bronze tripod. When he reached out and touched the entire bronze tripod, he could feel the thickness and texture of history.

The five-person identification team all thought that this bronze tripod was real, and it was an ancient tripod from before the Shang and Zhou dynasties. Looking at the patterns, the materials used, and the traces left by history on this, all of them mean that this bronze tripod is a real thing. But now Xuan Qi picked up this bronze tripod, which means that there is also a problem with the bronze tripod.

Lu Guangyan couldn't help but ask: "Is this bronze tripod also a modern high-quality imitation handicraft?"

"Now even if the handicrafts are made with old techniques, they cannot create the vicissitudes of history." Xuan Qi stretched out his hand and knocked on the bronze tripod and said, "This is indeed an antique."

"Since it is an antique, it is an antique, why did you pick it out?" Li Mo was a little unhappy. After all, he knew that this bronze tripod was real. Although he couldn't tell the year, it was indeed an antique.

"Didn't you notice that this ancient tripod is very similar to the Shang and Zhou tripod, but it is older than the Shang and Zhou tripod? Don't you realize the problem?" Xuan Qi seemed to have become a teacher at this time, holding the small tripod in his hand for people around to observe again.

It is a very critical process to find out the tricks in the cauldron. If you can see through it, it is equivalent to breaking the window paper. If you can't see through it, it is still a layer of flowers in the fog.

After some careful examination, the five-member group did not see anything wrong. As for Li Mo, he said carelessly: "Isn't it just an ancient tripod that was older than the Shang and Zhou dynasties?" As he said that, he also knocked on the ancient tripod and said: "Maybe the appearance of this ancient tripod can prove a lost civilization without being recorded in history..." Of course, he also knew that these were just stubborn arguments.

Xuan Qi didn't care, but picked up the bronze tripod and continued, "In fact, there is a detail that everyone ignores. Bronze ware can not only be identified from the shape of the instrument, but also from the ratio of materials. You must know that different historical dynasties have different smelting processes and different smelting formulas. For the same bronze ware, the recipes of Shang and Zhou ware are different from those of the pre-Qin period. Why is this?" Xuan Qi said without waiting for others to answer, and then said on his own: "This is because human society is progressing and the smelting industry is developing, so this is also a basis for identification and has the characteristics of the times."

The window paper has been opened halfway, and everyone has begun to think about it based on the copper quality of this copper tripod. Different formulas will form different smelting processes to create different raw materials.

After some comparison, everyone remembered the Shang and Zhou bronzes that they had identified, and they really saw a little clue. Lu Guangyan first said: "It seems that the copper quality of this copper tripod is better than that of other contemporary bronzes."
