Chapter 104: There Are Secrets
PS: Thank you for the tips of "Liu Lijin, Dongshan Village, Ningxiang County", "Er. Forced Xiao Youth", and "User Unnamed"!
For the speed of inking and inking, some people have compared it with Duan, She, and Tao inkstones, among which Duan inkstone is better for inking, and She inkstone is better. Tao Yan is between Duan She, the ink is better than the Duan Yan and the ink is better than the She Yan, so from the point of view of the ink, the contradiction is adjusted to just right.
However, the texture of the stone is ever-changing, and the new stone is not as good as the old stone, so such an experiment can only be used as a simple reference.
Like Zheng Anzhi's tripartite inkstone, in terms of performance, the Song Dynasty's Lao Tao inkstone has the best effect, the ink speed is fast, the ink is basically no different from the end inkstone, and the ink writing is also very smooth.
In terms of its performance, the value of this inkstone is higher than that of the inkstone next to it, however, the transaction price in the auction market, in addition to the efficacy, also has a great relationship with fame. Of course, if Zheng Anzhi endorses this Fang Taoyan, it will be very different.
In terms of the following and ink, Tao Yan's performance is already at the top level, but when Meng Zitao used Tian Yan to study ink, Zheng Anzhi and Wang Zhixuan, who are knowledgeable, couldn't help but let out a sound of admiration.
I saw that its ink is not only fast, but also the ink is fast and warm like jade, without damaging the pen, using this ink to write very smoothly, Zheng Anzhi tried to write, the joy in his heart, spontaneously.
And Meng Zitao felt it more deeply, he only felt that the feel of grinding was more delicate, and the silent grinding felt very comfortable. Compared with the inkstone I used before, one is in the sky and the other is underground, and there is no comparison at all.
Zheng Anzhi put down the brush in his hand and couldn't help but admire: "What an inkstone! It's really a good inkstone! No wonder Su Dongpo wanted his son to keep this inkstone before he died." ”
Zheng Yaxin asked with some confusion: "If that's the case, then why did you put it in the book cage in the first place?"
Zheng Anzhi said with a smile: "Didn't you say it, it was because Su Dongpo was falsely imprisoned in the first place, so he had to hide his treasure, right? Besides, where Su Dongpo hid the Tianyan in the first place, who knows? ”
Everyone nodded their heads, indicating that this was indeed possible.
Zheng Yaxin asked again: "Then Su Dongpo was only 12 years old, how did he know that the rough stone he found could be used to make inkstones?"
Zheng Anzhi replied: "There are many possibilities, maybe he happened to sigh at the original stone, and there was water vapor on the original stone, and he thought that he could make an inkstone; ”
Zheng Yaxin asked, "What about Su Dongpo's father?"
Maybe Su Dongpo dug out a stone from the ground, which is a good inkstone, he thinks it's too strange. As for what the hell is the reason, I am not Bai Xiaosheng in the novel, how can I know everything. ”
Speaking of this, Zheng Anzhi said with a smile: "I said you girl, why do you have so many questions today, do you want to ask me speechless." ”
Zheng Yaxin playfully stuck out her tongue: "Grandpa, how can I mean this, I just want to understand." ”
"Why haven't you been so curious about antiques?"
Zheng Anzhi smiled, didn't say much about it, and then asked Meng Zitao: "Xiao Meng, what are you going to do with this inkstone?"
Meng Zitao scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "Old Zheng, I'm a person, I like to collect literary games, and I usually like to write things, so I want to collect this inkstone myself, please forgive me." ”
In fact, if this inkstone was only as it appears now, Mencius would definitely agree to the transfer, but the value given by the ability is much higher than the characteristics shown on the surface. In the past few months, the ability has never gone wrong, and if that is the case, there must be secrets that he has not discovered.
In this case, of course Meng Zitao would not transfer the inkstone like this, and he may not have to make himself suffer a big loss in order to win Zheng Anzhi's favor, right?
Zheng Anzhi waved his hand with a pleasant face: "Xiao Meng, don't say anything forgive me, this is originally what I inquired about for my friends." Don't say that's the case, even if I want to, I can't force myself to buy and sell. If that's the case, it's relying on the old and selling the old, and you don't know how to respect yourself. ”
Seeing Zheng Anzhi say this, Meng Zitao also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and immediately, he felt that his mentality was a little funny, if Zheng Lao's moral character was problematic, how could he get the respect of so many people?
Everyone chatted about the topic of inkstone for a while, during which Zheng Anzhi said a few points that need to be paid attention to in identifying the quality of inkstone, and Meng Zitao kept it all in mind.
You know, the experience of the antique industry is the most important, maybe a small experience, you can make yourself less eye-catching, less than hundreds or tens of thousands of money.
Even if Meng Zitao has an ability, he can't leak such a thing, and this kind of experience gives him a reason to pick up leaks, thus reducing the probability of ability leakage.
After chatting for a while, the group returned to the living room, and when everyone was seated, Zheng Anzhi pointed to a pair of blue and white cups on the table and said, "By the way, look at this pair of bell-style cups." ”
Meng Zitao looked at the cup on the table with some confusion, and then together with Cheng Qiheng, he took a cup and looked at it.
Yangzhong cup type, named because of the inverted bell-like name, also known as bell cup, golden bell cup, and out-of-the-box cup, popular in the late Ming and Qing dynasties.
This cup tire is thin and glazed, light and translucent, with delicate shape and rounded lines. Its inside and outside are blue and white decorations, the inner mouth of the cup is decorated with brocade along the circle, the cup wall is light and plain without lines, the cup heart blue and white double circle is painted with a unicorn at the end, the neck is bent and the head is raised, the tail is raised, the heroic posture is vigorous, and the male runs among the turquoise flowers and grasses.
The blue and white paintings on the outside of the cup are ancient pines, strange stones, willows, safflowers, bamboo branches, flowing clouds and beautiful sun. In the shade of the tree, the three sheep rest leisurely, one stands upright, the head is raised sideways, one strolls away, looks back to explore, and the other stands on four feet, as if there is contemplation. The viewer can feel the different goat postures as the bell cup rotates, which is very visual.
The blue and white of this cup is quiet and lovely, thick and purple, it should be painted using the green material, its brushstrokes are smooth and chic, and the painting is properly applied, which shows that the painter is well versed in the material of the green back.
At the bottom of the cup, the blue and white double circle encloses the "Ming Jiajing Year" six-character two-line blue and white regular script, the pen is strong, the pen is thick and thick, the body is fit, the rigidity and softness are combined, and the vigor is elegant.
After carefully appreciating it, Meng Zitao couldn't help but say yes in his heart, but immediately, his heart moved, because if this was a genuine product, why did Zheng Anzhi take the initiative to propose it for everyone to watch? Is there a problem with these two cups? Or is one a genuine product and the other a fake?
Thinking of this, Meng Zitao hurriedly used the ability, and it turned out that this cup was indeed a fake. Later, when he got the other cup, he started with the ability and it turned out to be the same.
Antique identification is like this, knowing that it is a fake and looking back, if you have good eyesight, you can find the problem. Meng Zitao is exactly like this, and after reading it again, he immediately found a few questions. At the same time, he also understood the reason why Zheng Anzhi took the initiative to let them watch.
After everyone had seen everything, Zheng Anzhi asked with a smile: "What do you think of this pair of bell-style cups?"
Seeing that everyone looked at each other and didn't speak, Zheng Anzhi named and said, "Xiao Cheng, you can say it first." ”
Cheng Qiheng was entangled for a while, and then he said his judgment: "I think this pair of bell cups should be genuine." ”
Zheng Anzhi was noncommittal, and then looked at Meng Zitao: "Xiao Meng, what do you think?"
Meng Zitao said: "I think this thing has a demonic spirit. ”
Cheng Qiheng and Wang Qingchen were surprised by these words, and Zheng Anzhi smiled and said, "Xiao Meng, where do you think the demon is?"
Meng Zitao said: "First of all, the style is not quite right, the real 'Ming Jiajing year' regular script, the left side of the word 'Jing' next to the 'Li' is higher, often with the upper half of the right 'Qing' next to the same. ”
"Although, because the Jiajing Emperor was in charge of the country for 45 years, in the late Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, the potter who wrote the style of the official kiln changed to another person, and the font style changed, but it was just the 'Li' on the left side of the word 'Jing' moved downward, but this pair of the style on the bell cup seems to be no problem at first glance, but if you look closely, the strokes are not so ......."
Just as Meng Zitao was explaining, Cheng Qiheng and the others all came over and found that there was indeed a problem that Meng Zitao said.
This made Cheng Qiheng smile bitterly, if he was careful just now, he could actually see the problem, the key was that he was careless, and he felt that the knowledge was the same as what he remembered, so he didn't take a closer look.
Zheng Anzhi smiled and nodded: "Is there anything else?"
Meng Zitao said: "The second is that there is a problem with the green material, although the blue and white color on these two utensils is gorgeous, purple and blue, but if you look closely, it is still different from the real green material, and more importantly, you can also apply it to ......this by using the method you said earlier to observe the equal green material."
"What?!"
Before Meng Zitao's words were finished, Cheng Qiheng exclaimed, and hurriedly picked up the two cups, and when he saw it, his expression was a little stunned, and said: "What's going on, isn't that group of people imitating the green and imitating the green material?"
Zheng Lao sighed: "Maybe this is my problem, after I made a new discovery last time, I asked people to start investigating, and the progress was relatively good, maybe it was because of this that the other party was alert, and since then, there have been no new goods." ”
"As for this pair of things, it is a coincidence that it was a birthday gift from a junior when an old friend of mine celebrated his birthday. At that time, he couldn't put it down, and played with it for several days, and accidentally discovered the problem of style, and then found the problem of green materials, so he sent the thing to me and asked me to take a look. ”
