"Oh, the Eastern way of thinking, what does that say?"

Hearing Zheng Zheng say this, Anna became interested. He really didn't know how such a thing as appraising antiques could have something to do with the way he thought about it.

Zheng Zheng frowned and said, "This is a bit difficult to explain, how can I say it...... It's a feeling, an intuitive feeling that gradually develops after a long period of contact with antiques. I'm not very precise with this description, I don't know if you can understand it. ”

Zheng Zheng is just talking nonsense. The reason why he thinks that the cane is genuine is basically because there is a bronze scale, otherwise Zheng Zheng would have to be blind. And the identification of this, one has no information, two does not have the author's signature or something, not to mention the identification results, just explain "why do you think this is genuine" This is a very troublesome problem. It is this problem that Zheng Zheng wants to solve now.

Confirming that the cane was genuine, Zheng Zheng relied on a bronze scale. But when you talk to Anna about your thoughts, you can't say that. After pondering and pondering, Zheng Zheng could only focus on his identity as an "antique appraiser from China".

Although it is now the 21st century, China, especially Chinese culture and traditional philosophical thinking, still exudes a mysterious energy in the eyes of many Westerners. Zheng Zheng didn't have a good way, so he had to use this.

"In the traditional Chinese concept, the highest level of any industry is a state of 'meaning'. ”

In order to facilitate Anna's understanding, Zheng Zheng translated this "meaning" into "thought", but there was no way, he really couldn't find an English word that could completely match the original meaning from the words he knew, so he could only replace it with this word.

"It's thought that after working in an industry for a long, long time, the person's mind becomes integrated into what he does, to a level that can't be reached with technology. Well...... It can be said that this is a kind of keen observation and sensibility that is similar to intuition that has been cultivated. ”

Seeing that Anna didn't understand what he heard, Zheng Zheng explained: "For example, a master in the carving industry, after he reached the realm of 'meaning', when he got a piece of raw material for carving, he already knew the texture of this raw material, and he already knew what this raw material could be carved into in his heart. And after an appraiser reaches this realm, he has a sensitivity to antiques, even if he puts an antique among countless fakes, he can pick out the real antique at a glance. ”

After a pause, Zheng Zheng said: "Although I haven't reached this level yet, I often deal with antiques, and it can be said that in addition to eating and sleeping, I am surrounded by antiques." I also have that sensitivity to antiques to identify real antiques. ”

Anna frowned and listened for a while, then frowned and said, "Hmm...... Kung Fu?"

Foreigners seem to have such a common problem, that is, when talking about Chinese behaviors or ways of thinking that they don't understand, they can associate this with "kung fu". Zheng Zheng couldn't figure out what kind of thinking circuit Anna was, he talked here for a long time, how could he get there? But it's no wonder that Anna, who made Zheng Zheng say so mysterious?

"No, no, this has nothing to do with kung fu. To put it simply, this is a feeling that is extremely sensitive to certain feelings. ”

Explaining this Zheng Zheng is also a little scratching, because there are many concepts in Chinese that cannot be expressed in English words. He thought about it for a while, and finally decided to use Anna as an example: "For example, if you listen to the piano music of the same author every day, and you are already familiar with the piano music of this author, you can also recognize the fragments by scrambling the fragments of these piano pieces into other piano pieces and playing them for you." ”

Zheng Zheng's statement is really not fooling Anna, this is true, and it is also Zheng Zheng's own experience, but it is not so godly.

At Zheng Zheng's current level, whether it is a fake or a real thing, he can almost see it at a glance, and the fakes that are very particular about it have to be said separately. It's not because of anything else, it's really because Zheng Zheng has had more contact with antiques, and he is very sensitive to the imagery and feeling on real antiques. On the fake antiques, you can't find this kind of intention and feeling that has been precipitated over the years and is composed of countless details.

If a person is put together with many antiques, and he spends about sixty or seventy percent of his day in contact with antiques for a long time, then this person can distinguish between fake antiques and real antiques even if he does not have any common sense of appraising antiques. Without him, just because after putting him together with antiques for a long time, he had cultivated something akin to intuition, and when he could distinguish the real thing from the fake, it was only a matter of finding something that felt more familiar to him.

This principle sounds simple, but it only sounds like it, and it's quite difficult to actually operate. Not to mention how long it takes to cultivate such an eyesight, even if it is cultivated, then dare to believe it all? Now this antique is fake, sometimes it is no different from the real antique, this result is seen by the eye, dare to believe it?

Although Zheng Zheng's eyesight has not reached such a level, it is not too different. However, even with this kind of eyesight, Zheng Zheng did not say that he judged based on his eyesight when he appraised antiques. First, because he has a cautious and cautious personality, at most he makes a preliminary judgment after seeing the antiques, and he will not be completely superstitious about his own vision; second, because the antiques that are now counterfeited are really in place, not to mention anything else, doesn't the bronze balance still have a heel in the "ancient meaning"? If you judge whether an antique is real or fake just by relying on your eyesight or the bronze balance alone, then sooner or later you will lose your eyes.

"Wow......"

Anna looked at Zheng Zheng with a look of amazement and said, "What you said, I also have the same experience. It's just that I never thought of this kind of ...... Well...... Feel...... This feeling can have such an effect. If your judgment is wrong, then I can refute your theory. But what you say is not wrong...... This...... It's just amazing. ”

Anna made sure that Zheng Zheng didn't use any equipment to communicate with the outside world, nor did he use any portable scanners or anything like that, and then made a judgment without any information. He didn't think that Zheng Zheng would blindly guess a result on such an important issue, but this was an important issue related to whether he and Zheng Zheng could have further cooperation. Even if you guess, there is a high probability that the average appraiser will regard these three antiques as fakes. Because if the cane is genuine, which has no information for reference, the average appraiser can't even pass this level himself, let alone tell the result, so for the sake of stability, he can only judge this cane as a fake.

In Anna's view, Zheng Zheng did what no one else could: he found the real antique without any reference materials.

However, in Zheng Zheng's opinion, there is really nothing to say, just a matter of taking a look at the bronze scale. This is naturally very magical for others, but in Zheng Zheng's eyes, this is not much different from eating and drinking.

To say that this is also to blame Anna. If Anaken had taken out the information—Zheng Zheng could have been sure, this old Anna must have the information—Zheng Zheng could really have used his skills, instead of trying to come up with such a mysterious answer to answer Anna. Although this is not bad, but as an antique practitioner, Zheng Zheng has his own pride as an appraiser, and it is naturally best to rely on his own ability without relying on external forces. With the help of external forces, it is as if he does not have the ability to independently identify this cane......

Although Zheng Zheng's face is indeed quite thick, but listening to Anna's praise, Zheng Zheng also blushed secretly. He smiled and said, "Actually, there is nothing magical about this, it's just a feeling formed after being extremely familiar with a family. I can only be sure that this cane is genuine among these three antiques, and if I really say why, I don't understand without convincing information. ”

"Hmm...... I'm so sorry. ”

Anna looked embarrassed at the moment and said, "Actually, I have information about this cane here. It's just that in order to prove your level, Mr. Zheng, I didn't show you the information. I lied on this point before, please Mr. Zheng understand my approach and don't take it too seriously. ”

Anna has information about this cane, which Zheng Zheng knows in his heart. However, hearing him speak like this, Zheng Zheng said a little unpleasantly: "What you said is really good, and let me understand that I don't take it too seriously." Hey...... Here's what I've identified as which one is true. If I can't identify which one is true, and something goes wrong, I'll tell you to understand, and tell you not to take it to heart, can you understand? It's really unreasonable......

I thought so much in my heart, but Zheng Zheng didn't take this matter too seriously, he just complained in his heart. If you really talk about it, Anna's approach is indeed a bit excessive, and the problem is inevitably too difficult. But who made him the master and himself the guest, and who let Anna occupy the initiative? He took the initiative, and then did such a thing that was a bit inconsequential, Zheng Zheng wanted to have future development, so he could only follow the path he had drawn. As for what you think in your heart, it's best to just think about it, and not take it too seriously, so as not to miss the right thing in the future because of this little emotion.

After pondering a little, Zheng Zheng said: "You have the information about this cane, then it would be better, I would like to hear you tell me about this cane." ”
