I saw that the glazed Buddha is yellow all over, beautiful, its quality is crystal clear, dazzling, giving people the feeling of Buddha light, how to look, it is a very precious treasure.

Others don't know the inside story, but Ye Xin knows that this glass Buddha was occasionally discovered by an overseas Chinese, bought it, and then donated it to their museum.

This is after expert identification, and the probability of being fake is almost zero.

When the audience in the live broadcast room heard Brother Hu's words, they thought that there was something wrong with their ears and they heard it wrong.

If the museum is mixed with fakes, then it will be terrible to think about it!

"Fake? Isn't it? This is a museum. ”

"Actually, it's not impossible, don't say these provincial museums, that is, the Palace Museum, I don't believe that every single one is true. Manpower is sometimes poor, and the entire museum, the people who manage those cultural relics are so small, can each one be carefully identified?"

"However, looking at this one, it is dazzling, and it is a relatively eye-catching treasure, how can it get more attention, right?

"You can't go wrong if you're serious? Experts are also human beings, and there will be times when they lose their eyes. I trust Brother Hu's judgment, and at least so far, he has not let us down. ”

......

"What do you mean?" Ye Xin couldn't help but ask.

Hu Yang put down the bronze statue, picked up the glass Buddha statue, and put it under the light. The whole Buddha statue exudes a charming light, and no one looks like a fake.

However, Populus euphratica is well aware that this is a very highly skilled glazed ware. The person who forged this glazed Buddha seems to have mastered the firing method of ancient glaze, so it is difficult to recognize.

"It's a very clever imitation. ”

Liuli, one of the traditional handicrafts of the Han nationality in China, uses artificial crystal of various colors as raw materials, and uses the ancient bronze wax-dewaxing casting method to dewax the crystal works.

Earlier, Populus euphratica introduced to you that the history of making glass in ancient times can be traced back to the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the original materials for making glass were obtained from the by-products produced during bronze casting, and then made into glass after refining and processing.

By the Han Dynasty, the production level of glaze was quite mature. However, the smelting technology was in the hands of the royal family and nobles, and it has been kept secret. Because it was difficult for the people to obtain, people at that time regarded colored glass as even more precious than jade.

In fact, in the Yuan Dynasty, the firing method of ancient glaze has been lost.

Nowadays, we see that the glazed ware of the Ming and Qing dynasties is actually different from the craftsmanship of the Han and Tang dynasties, and the original charm of the glaze cannot be recovered.

And the glass Buddha in front of me can actually see the shadow of the glass in the Han and Tang dynasties, and it is estimated that he figured out the method of firing the glass at that time.

Ye Xin frowned: "What about the evidence?"

Hu Yang organized the language and said to everyone: "This is a Buddha (chu), saying Buddha A, you may not understand much, that is, everyone knows the Buddha of the immovable Buddha, the Oriental Buddha of the five Buddhas.

To be honest, not to mention what this Buddha is, just from the glass itself, when I first saw this glass, I thought it was an object of the Han Dynasty. ”

"Isn't it?"

Ye Xin herself had observed with a magnifying glass, and she didn't dare to say that she had seen every one of these cultural relics seriously. But this glass Buddha, she has seen it carefully.

If you look at it with a magnifying glass, you can see that there is a local cotton-like mist, which is small in shape and single in tone, which is the main feature of ancient glazed ware.

Hu Yang shook his head: "Definitely not, although the lower position of this Buddha even has a little secretion color, it really doesn't look much different from the Qin color of the Han Dynasty."

Don't worry, everyone, listen to me slowly. ”

Actually, don't be in a hurry, it's mainly with Ye Xin. The appearance of fakes in museums may be a little difficult for her to accept, but facts are facts.

"Okay, then you analyze it. Ye Xin calmed down.

Just now, she was indeed a little anxious. In fact, it is not uncommon for museums to have fakes, and many museums have seen the same situation.

However, this glazed Buddha has been carefully identified by their museum, after all, it is donated by Chinese.

And she herself has observed and found no problems.

On top of that, now Populus euphratica is being broadcast live, and hundreds of thousands of people are watching. Once this kind of thing is confirmed, it feels a bit like a slap in the face.

The firewood kiln porcelain in front of them was a little embarrassing for them, but if they could find a piece of firewood kiln porcelain, all the others were unbearable, and they could accept it.

Of course, Ye Xin actually has a little personal feelings in it.

The Chinese who donated this treasure have donated cultural relics lost overseas to their museum many times, and he is a very patriotic old gentleman, Ye Xin respects it very much. Now, the old gentleman has passed away, so when he heard Hu Yang say that it was fake, he couldn't control his emotions for a while.

"There are three criteria for glass identification, you know?"

Ye Xin nodded: "Is there a problem with the color, shape, and taste? This kind of color, the Han Dynasty had, and the shape, in fact, can't be seen, because it is carved." Something wrong with the taste?"

"Color includes color, transparency and texture, which is the first rule of identifying glass.

Because the color of the glass is achieved through a special formula, each dynasty and each period has its own unique formula and color preference, and due to the limitation of geography and scientific and technological level, the earlier the dynasty formula, the more scarce.

Blue is the most classic color of early glass, if you see that it is pure green, it is definitely not the Han Dynasty, the glass of the Han Dynasty is not pure green, it is with a little blue.

If it is yellow, the Han Dynasty is not nothing, but it is also very rare. We can't discern this. Hu Yang explained to everyone.

"However, when it comes to transparency, the Han Dynasty should be very rare in such transparent glazed ware. ”

He told everyone that transparent glass was rarely used in ancient China, except for some imported utensils. Therefore, the transparent Zhanhan glass flying everywhere on the market can basically be characterized as fakes or imported products.

The only exception is some multi-edged white transparent glass beads unearthed in Yangcheng Hepu, which have a particularly high silicon ratio and may be the product of a very special glass system in South Asia.

"Less, doesn't mean nothing. Ye Xin said.

Indeed, that's not enough. In fact, after carving, it is easier to recognize.

The carving techniques of the Han Dynasty are very recognizable, and you may have overlooked this.

Do you still remember what I said about the Eight Swords of the Han Dynasty? During the Qin and Han dynasties, when the country was strong, the style of jade production changed to be delicate and delicate, showing a majestic, broad, natural and bold artistic style.

But this Buddha has delicate knife skills, not the style of Han Badao. ”

Ye Xin couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this: "This doesn't completely explain the problem." The Han Eight Dao is indeed a representative of the carving technology of the Han Dynasty, but it cannot represent the entire dynasty, and there will always be exceptions.

So, if you analyze it from the knife technique, it's a bit far-fetched. ”

At this moment, someone suddenly spoke in the live broadcast room: Theravada Buddhism seems to have entered China in the Tang Dynasty, right? During the Han Dynasty, although there was Buddhism, it was all Mahayana Buddhism that came from West Asia. In the traditional sense, it refers to Shakyamuni Buddha, that is, the Buddha of Hinayana Buddhism.

Well?

Hu Yang was a little surprised! There was actually an audience member who said one of them.

He nodded, "That's right!" the brother said on the second suspicion. Andy, add this brother's WeChat and send him a red envelope. ”

The other people in the live broadcast room were stunned, this is okay? I knew earlier, and they also analyzed it seriously.

You must know that Brother Hu sends red envelopes, not a few cents or a few cents, and he is afraid that he will lose the traffic fee when he receives it, so why does it start with a thousand yuan, right?

Uh! Ye Xin suddenly frowned, wanting to say something to refute this point of view.

At this time, Hu Yang spoke: "Of course, this cannot completely say that there was no Hinayana Buddhism in the Han Dynasty.

We also know that Theravada Buddhism was basically introduced from ancient India. During the Qin and Han dynasties, the CCP had deep trade contacts with the Western Regions, and cultural exchanges were relatively frequent.

Although ancient India did not communicate directly with us, through the intermediate station of the Western Regions, a little culture will still be transmitted to some extent. ”

Ye Xin couldn't help but nod when she heard this, feeling that this kind of analysis was more reliable and rigorous.

"The most important point is actually on this Buddha. The person who made this Buddha doesn't seem to be willing to be lonely! Hu Yang pointed to a position on the glass Buddha's body.

That's some Buddhist symbols, and at first glance there is nothing wrong with them, but when combined, they are a little interesting, as if they were the code of one person.

Hu Yang told Ye Xin about the method of combination, and Ye Xin was shocked when he heard it.

At this time, Curator Fang, who was very busy, actually came to everyone's side. In fact, Director Fang was just passing by, not worrying about others doing it, and just sent the firewood kiln porcelain to be placed with several museum veterans.

After passing here, I saw Hu Yang and they were discussing the glass Buddha, so they walked in.

Ye Xin stammered a little when he spoke: "Curator...... This...... The glazed Buddha seems to ...... There is a problem. ”

Curator Fang nodded: "I know." ”

Hey?

Hu Yang and others were very surprised, and the audience in the live broadcast room was also surprised, what kind of operation is this?

Not to mention the others, Ye Xin looked at Curator Fang with a little puzzlement.

Curator Fang glanced at the glazed Buddha with a complicated expression, with a nostalgic expression on his face: "At that time, we saw that there was something wrong with this glazed Buddha, but the old gentleman's son told me privately that his father didn't have many days left.

In order not to let Mr. Qin leave with regrets, we discussed it and took it seriously. This is also why, this glass Buddha has never been made public. ”

The audience in the live broadcast room was stunned when they heard it, and their hearts were suddenly full of emotion.
