Chapter 350: Multiple Choice Questions
Wei Lai's eyes lit up, and he said in his heart that there was a good show to watch!
Yu Yao didn't mean to slap him in the face. Such a Wei monument, even if it is a fake and real price, may be reported to several million, and He Wenguang also said that he has not yet done it.
As long as Yu Yao can explain the problem thoroughly, he is actually helping him.
However, Yu Yao is not a good person. You can do it, but you've always been a little despised for me, and I didn't fight for tat, and now that it's time to ignite, I won't save face for you anymore.
"Zheng, come here. Yu Yao returned to the computer.
Zheng Wenzhi came over, He Wenguang also came, Wei Lai had no place, so he could only sit next to He Wenguang.
"This ornament feels a little problematic······"
Before Yu Yao finished speaking, Zheng Wenzhi breathed a sigh of relief, "You mean that there is the style of the Wu Zetian period, right? Or the style of the Tang Dynasty and the Wu Zhou period." Can I not notice this? But the ornamentation itself is fine, but it feels a little similar in style - and even in the feeling, in this roundness, there are still hidden angularities!"
Yu Yao won't argue with him about this. In Yu Yao's view, this is a forgery craftsman who wants to show the style of Weibei, but does not want to appear stiff, so that the sense of familiarity is greater than the sense of strength.
But I feel that this thing, because everyone has a different experience, there must be differences, and the ornament itself is indeed not hard.
The forgery of this Wei monument has been done with great effort, otherwise it would not have handled details like "10,000" very well, and even made Yu Yao involuntarily think about the problem from Zheng Daozhao's point of view.
"I'm not just talking about the stylistic feel, but also the weathering in the notch. "Yu Yao interface.
"Weathered lines?" Zheng Wenzhi was slightly stunned.
"Zheng, you don't know much about the counterfeiting methods of weathering patterns. Yu Yao said lightly, "However, you should understand that the depth of the notch is different, and the weathering pattern will be different." ”
You go on. Zheng Wenzhi felt a little hot and took off his vest.
"The notches of this ornament are shallower than the notches of the handwriting - this shows that the forger's technique is very delicate, because most Wei tablets have this characteristic. However, the more perfection you pursue, the more likely you are to make mistakes. If it is not treated differently in this way, but carved as deeply, it can be said that Wei Bei has not been without this situation; in this way, if he makes the weathering pattern of the handwriting notch and the ornamental notch the same, then there is no real problem. ”
Zheng Wenzhi listened, frowned, and enlarged some of the pictures again.
Yu Yao stopped.
"Why don't you say it?" Zheng Wenzhi tilted his head to look at him.
Yu Yao also tilted his head to look at him, "This stone tablet, the handwriting inscription is obviously deeper than the ornamental inscription, but the weathering pattern is the same, do you need to talk about it?
Zheng Wenzhi stared at the enlarged picture, lit another cigarette, took a few puffs, knocked on his temple, and said: "I don't think it's exactly the same, at least, the weathering lines of shallow nicks are more and deeper than the weathering lines of deep marks on handwriting."
"If he does exactly the same, may I ask Zheng Chu, can he still hide it from you?"
Zheng Wenzhi was dumbfounded.
He Wenguang took over at this time, "You mean to say that the form of the weathering pattern is the same?"
"Yes. Yu Yao nodded, "If it has gone through more than a thousand years, the weathering pattern of the shallow notch is not only more and deeper than the deep mark, but the form must be different!
He Wenguang frowned, "After this weathering pattern has become more and deeper, if it is not carefully examined, it is really difficult to see that the form is the same, and it has to be when the eyesight is in place." ”
Yu Yao smiled, "So, he may have taken this path after doing two multiple-choice questions in a row!"
"Multiple choice?"
"Yes. I think it is easier to explain the psychology of the counterfeiter from this perspective. This is a top-level imitation that can hide from connoisseurs!"
"Oh, let's talk about it!" He Wenguang was interested.
Zheng Wenzhi didn't say a word with a dark face, still staring at the computer screen, but in fact, his ears had already been pricked up.
Yu Yao talked eloquently.
"The selection of materials, the body of the book, and the engraving of this stele are all flawless, which must be the strength of the forger. And the first multiple-choice question he faced was whether to carve the ornament as deep as the handwriting?"
"If the engraving is as deep, the subsequent forgery can be more effortless and more realistic, and it will be more difficult for the appraiser. But the psychology of the counterfeiter is not the same as the psychology of the appraiser. Because most of the inscriptions and epitaphs of Wei steles have a deeper handwriting than the inscriptions of the ornaments, if the forgers do not do so, they must be worried about being suspected prematurely, because this is common knowledge for Wei stele lovers. Therefore, although there are a small number of genuine products of the same depth, the psychology of the counterfeiter is very difficult to pass this hurdle. ”
Judging from this stele, it is obvious that he just didn't have it, and chose to write profoundly and decorate shallowly. Next, the second problem he faced was to be old. Specifically, it is how to do the weathering effect in the nick after the weathering effect has been done on the surface of the stele, especially the weathering pattern. ”
"When he was doing the weathering inside the nick, he came across a second multiple-choice question. ”
"If you want to make different weathering patterns in the deep and shallow notches, you have to use different potions and combine different spray gun patterns. But in this way, the difference between the years is difficult to control, and it is easy to show clues. ”
"If you use the same potion and spray gun pattern, it is not easy to have a sense of age difference, but the weathering pattern will have the same effect. ”
Again, he is a hypocrite, whether he can be seen through or not, like a big rock, always pressing on the tip of his heart. The sense of difference between years is easier to pay attention to for masters. So, he chose the same potion and the same airbrush pattern. ”
"However, as Zheng said, if the weathering pattern is exactly the same, then it is much less difficult to identify. Therefore, he should just increase the amount of potion in the shallow nick and use the same spray gun pattern, so that the weathering pattern in the shallow nick will be more and deeper, and in this way, the same weathering pattern will appear 'different'. ”
"Moreover, the weathering pattern is very fragmented, whether it is the same, whether there is a difference, is the most difficult to identify the details of this inscription! ”
Wei Lai was stunned when he heard this. He was speechless for a while, and if he could, he would probably be able to raise his hand and shout a report.
He Wenguang was also silent for a few seconds.
"Now take it, right?" Suddenly, He Wenguang opened his mouth and slapped Zheng Wenzhi on the shoulder, almost patting the skinny Zheng Wenzhi down.
