Chapter 161: Nine Years of Sheep Jade

At this time, Wu Duo happened to be "over".

"How about Xiao Wu, do you have any new discoveries?" Zhang Chengjin asked.

Wu Duo thought for a while, "This is indeed a Western Han jade cicada, but I don't feel like it has been repeatedly unearthed in the ground." ”

In fact, what Wu Duo heard was much more detailed.

I don't know if it's because of the popularity of the burial jade, in addition to hearing the content of the craft of the Western Han Dynasty, I can also hear that it was unearthed in the Republic of China.

However, when it was unearthed, there was no blood.

Moreover, after being unearthed, it was not put into the soil twice, but only "processed".

In other words, this is a piece of the Republic of China period, using the unearthed Western Han Dynasty jade cicada, "processed" out of the reborn jade.

The content of "processing", Wu Duo even heard it.

How is it "processed"?

This method, in fact, Wu Duo has also heard of a similar "low-end version", which is far less complicated and elaborate than what he heard this time.

It's cruel.

Heat the jade cicada first, and do not burn it with fire, because the fire will leave ashes on the jade, and if you can't wipe it in the next step, you have to do it immediately.

It has to be scalded with boiling water.

After being thoroughly scalded, a deep bloody wound was cut on the leg of a live sheep, and the hot jade cicada was quickly put into the bloody mouth, and then stitched up.

Three years.

For three years, the sheep had to live.

Three years later, the jade cicada was taken out.

At this time, the jade cicada can form a blood-red color.

But at this time, it can't be sold as reborn jade, because the blood formed in this way will fade, it won't last long, and the texture of the surface is not right.

Therefore, it is necessary to put the jade cicada into the burned mutton fat, wait for the mutton fat to solidify, wrap the mutton fat with yellow mud, and burn it into a pottery embryo.

Put it for another three years.

After these two steps, take it out, and then see the effect.

If the effect is good, under the envelope of sheep fat, the blood will fade less and will be more red, and if the effect is not good, the red color of the blood will be lighter, but it is often more uniform.

This jade cicada is relatively light. But the faint blood is very even, and at the same time, there is also a part of the blood that penetrates deep into the jade!

And that's not all.

One last step is needed, and that is to plate it for three years!

Over the course of the last three years, the color may have to become lighter a little more, but after this last step, the color is basically stable and there will be no noticeable changes.

Moreover, the "plate" of these three years is not just by hand, but also needs to be carefully polished with sheepskin every three or five times.

In this way, a piece of "reborn jade" was formed.

This kind of fake "reborn jade" is extremely difficult to identify. Because the best ancient jade will be selected, and the counterfeiting cycle is as long as nine years, both in terms of appearance and feel, it has reached an extremely realistic level.

What's more, the jade cicada in front of you, because it was made during the Republic of China, the last step is equivalent to another few decades or even nearly a hundred years, so it is even more natural!

And the "low-end version" that Wu Duo has heard of is still used by people.

Those who use sheep are called sheep jade or lamb leg jade, and those who use dogs are called dog jade or dog belly jade.

However, there is often only one step, and some are used to sew up a freshly dead sheep or dog, sewing jade and burying it immediately, so as to imitate the corpse qi and blood.

This is fake, then it is not to make reborn jade, it can only be said to be Xueqin jade; it will be sold immediately after the Xueqin, no matter what the texture of the surface is, and no matter how long it will fade, it can be one by one.

Alas, there is no professionalism in even forgery.

When Zhang Lao heard it, "What do you mean, is it a pseudo-worker?"

Wu Duo nodded, "Although the look and feel are very good, I always feel that it is still a bit raw." ”

"But the blood inside this jade, you have also seen it, I am afraid that people can't have this effect. "What Zhang Lao said, Hu Yunde also said before.

"Elder Zhang, Uncle De, you must know the lamb leg jade or the dog belly jade, right?" Wu Duo asked.

Zhang Chengjin and Hu Yunde both nodded, and Hu Yunde continued, "I definitely know this, but it's not difficult to identify." ”

"On this basis, I have also heard of a special method of counterfeiting reborn jade. I think this jade cicada may have been made in this way. Wu Duo then talked about what he had "heard" on the grounds that he had heard "rumors."

Zhang Chengjin, Hu Yunde, and Qiu Buluo were all stunned.

"I've been in the antique shop for most of my life, and what you said is unheard of!" Zhang Chengjin finally spoke.

Wu Duo smiled bitterly in his heart, yes, if I hadn't "heard", I wouldn't have been able to make it up!

This is very likely to be the unique skill of a certain master of counterfeiting during the Republic of China, and if he does this, I am afraid that he will not be able to do a few things in his life.

The best ancient jade is hard to find, and the power is not necessarily high - the process is simple, but it is definitely much more difficult to grasp the intermediate technical details. There is even the problem of sheep dying and sheep running away.

"There are too many rumors in the antique circle, but it feels a little weird, and I think about it. Because I communicate with others behind closed doors, I have what to say. All in all, I think the blood of this jade cicada is a bit raw, that is, it seems to be pressed into it raw, and there is no natural feeling of ripening. ”

With the help of the so-called "rumors", combined with the final description and explanation, Wu Duo Neng has already said everything. I can't always say that I am "talented" and "listen" clearly.

If Zhang Chengjin still felt that it was not enough evidence, and finally insisted on buying it, then Wu Duo couldn't help it.

Elder Zhang, I can only help you get here.

"If I hadn't eaten it, I wouldn't have been able to take it alive." Zhang Chengjin nodded, and then asked, "Xiao Wu, where did you hear this rumor?"

"In the early years, when I was in school, I went to play with my classmates in Chang'an one summer, and listened to an old man talk in the antique market in Chang'an. Wu Duo had no choice but to continue arranging.

Hu Yunde said at this time, "According to the owner of the goods, this is handed down from his family during the Republic of China. Combined with the rumored method that Xiao Wu said, it may have been made during the Republic of China. After so many years, it is indeed not easy to distinguish between the true and the fake! I am afraid that even the owner of the goods himself is difficult to determine the authenticity of the fake. ”

Zhang Chengjin's face showed a very hesitant expression.

said that he wanted to study and study, but in his heart, why didn't he hope that no matter which master he looked at, he could give a positive judgment!

Results······

Don't look at Wu Duo's youth, his eyesight Zhang Chengjin has never been underestimated. Wu Duo's judgment had a great impact on him.

Wu Duo spoke again at this time, "Elder Zhang, you originally wanted to brainstorm, you might as well find a few more people to take a look." If you have enough time, you can even go to a place like Yanjing to find a ······ Person. After all, it's a 'reborn jade'!"

Zhang Chengjin nodded slowly, "Yes, brainstorming." ”
