Chapter 30: High-end Market (4)
The three people here spoke in low voices, and the middle-aged man sat on one side, but he didn't seem to hear their conversation at all, and only looked at the newspaper in his hand, neither admitting nor denying it. This is the operation technique of the big antique shop, they will not let the guests inspect it in the store, it doesn't matter what you say in the office, if you don't buy it, you won't buy it, anyway, this job is Jiang Taigong's fishing wisher to take the bait.
As soon as the connoisseur made a move, he knew if there was one, and the middle-aged man knew that she was a master as soon as he saw Liu Yue's identification techniques and skills, and he didn't even have the mind to fool. Since his family knows his own affairs, of course the middle-aged man knows that this "Empty Mountain Bird Language" is fake, this is a masterpiece of several experts in their store together, it is very real, he can only hope that Liu Yue will follow suit. If Liu Yue saw that this painting was fake, he wouldn't feel so strange, but Tang Feng felt a little unbelievable when he saw it first, because he didn't see Tang Feng look at this painting carefully, and he just smelled it and said it was fake, which was also a little outrageous.
Tang Feng said to Liu Yue: "Miss Liu, you can compare the two ends of the scroll with the middle of the silk painting. ”
Liu Yue took the two ends of the scroll to the middle to compare it with the painting silk itself, and after a long time, she frowned and asked Tang Fengdao, "Why are you so fast?"
Su Qing on the side was anxious to know the result, and she asked Liu Yue, "Are you sure it's fake?"
Liu Yue nodded and said, "Yes, there is a difference in the degree of formation between the two ends and the middle, it must be fake." ”
Su Qing looked at it carefully and asked strangely, "Why can't I see it?"
Liu Yue said: "The difference is very subtle, you are a layman, and you can't see it if you give you a magnifying glass." "The transformation of a painting is the transformation of the silk ribbon painting, and if there is a local difference in the degree of transformation of the same painting, it must be fake. Without Tang Feng's reminder, Liu Yue could also see that the painting was fake, but her steps had not yet come here. Liu Yue wasn't wondering that Tang Feng could see that the painting was fake, but wondering why he could come to a conclusion so quickly.
"Liu Yue, you won't, right?" Su Qing asked Liu Yue: "This gap is too big, why do I think he is much faster than you?" In Su Qing's eyes, Liu Yue and Tang Feng are Manchester United and Arsenal, and it is possible for the two teams to win or lose when they meet, but it was very unexpected for one side to have a big lead in the first half.
Liu Yue said: "I don't know, I'm already fast." Then, she glanced at Tang Feng intentionally or unintentionally, and said: "As for the people who hide their secrets, they are often very stingy, they are unwilling to share their experience with others, I wonder if Mr. Tang is such a stingy person?"
"It's entirely possible that I'm a secretive, stingy person. Tang Feng said: "Don't ask more, the method is different, my master taught me that the identification method of ancient paintings starts with the material." ”
There is a difference between mainstream identification methods and non-mainstream identification methods, not that there is no Tang Feng Liuyue who will definitely be fooled, it is just a matter of time. The identification method used by Liu Yue is the mainstream way, emphasizing the quality of the picture and light the material, step by step, first looking at the painting and then looking at the model, and then researching, the general fake painting will soon have nothing to hide, this painting is just a special case. So, why is the mainstream identification method light material, because museums have now handed over the age of the material to the instrument. Different from the mainstream identification method, the Tang family's identification method has been improved by the identification technique of tomb robbers, and the identification technique of tomb robbers is the heaviest material. Because of the restrictions on cave robbing, tomb robbers often cannot steal all the things in the tomb at once, so they have a habit of taking valuable money first. The tomb is darkly lit, and the tomb robbers have no time and no way to identify them one by one, so they rely more on the identification of materials, and gold is always more valuable than bronze.
To put it bluntly, this is the difference between archaeology and tomb robbing. The archaeology is open, wearing gloves, carefully picking things up, brushing and brushing with a brush, and finally putting it into the envelope of plastic film, sorting it and shipping it back for the next analysis and identification. After all, the tomb robbers can't see the light, take the sack and choose a few valuable things to run around, and if they can't get it once, they will come back a second time, because they don't dare to guarantee that there will be a second chance to come in, so they have to take the valuable ones first. When these two identification methods are passed on to Liu Yue and Tang Feng, we see different identification habits, not to mention who is superior and who is inferior, just for this painting, Tang Feng's starting point of looking at the material is closer to the end.
Liu Yue looked at Tang Feng without blinking and asked, "Can you tell us about your basis?" For example, what smell did you smell that made you make a judgment?"
"I didn't smell it. Tang Feng shook his head and said, "I just got closer and took a closer look." Tang Feng said this, how could the two girls believe it, but he refused to tell them his tricks anyway.
There are many old methods for new paintings, the most common ones are snakes, insects, rats, ants, bites, and tea fumigation. Snakes, insects, rats and ants bite are specially brought in snakes, insects, rats and ants to bite new paintings and calligraphy, so that they can leave traces of being eaten by insects. Tea fumigation is to hang calligraphy and painting on the wall, put a large pot full of tea at the foot of the wall, boil the fire, and use the gas evaporated from the tea to smoke the calligraphy and painting yellow, make the paper and pigment crisp and deteriorate, and accelerate aging. After smoking, hang it in a ventilated and cool place to air dry to remove the taste of the tea. This "Empty Mountain Bird Language" imitates extremely realistic, its old method is to first use snakes, insects, rats and ants to bite to leave traces, and then use the tea fumigation method to make the old, but fraud is fraud, there will always be clues left, tea fumigation method can not make the whole painting effect consistent. And the smell of tea can't be completely eradicated, Tang Feng, who has a keen sense of smell, can smell it as soon as he smells it.
Tang Feng was afraid that they would ask, so he hurriedly said to the middle-aged man: "This painting can be put away, let's take a look at the next one." ”
The middle-aged man nodded and said, "No problem." ”
The second painting is an ink painting, which depicts a flat boat floating on the surface of a quietly flowing river, with trees and flowers on both sides of the riverbank, and endless mountains in the distance. On the boat, a young scholar standing with his hands in his hands was pointing to the highest mountain and talking to the boatman. The inscription is written in four large cursive characters - pointing to the country. This painting is very rough, the silk itself is not good, the texture is rough, the warp and weft are sparse, and it is far-fetched to name it "Pointing to the Country", but the quality of this painting is not flattering, the brush and ink are chaotic, speckled and dotted, if it is an oil painting, it is a bit of impressionism, but as an ink painting, it can only be called a freehand painting.
After Tang Feng looked at it carefully, he asked the middle-aged man, "How did you sell this painting?"
