Chapter 329: Argue until you're speechless
The word '驩', a special fake word, a word that few people know in the antique cultural relics industry.
At least, two of the three experts on the expert bench don't know at all, because one is engaged in bronzes in the Palace Museum, and the other is specialized in calligraphy and painting.
But after a little hesitation, the three experts still raised their own questions out of their hearts.
Wang Hua, a retired expert at the Palace Museum, was slightly stunned and took the lead in asking:
"I don't agree with Li Fan's point of view. The word '驩' concludes that a screen is from the Qianlong period, and I don't recognize it. Wouldn't the counterfeiters be aware of this?"
Li Fan smiled and said to the audience: "I'll do a test, and the audience who came to the scene more or less understand this industry, but the level is slightly different, among which I speculate that there must be many people who are good at research." I'll give you some questions.
Excuse me, does anyone know what '圉' means in 'Zi Mozi's Shou Yu Yu'? It is the mouth + the luck of that '圉'!"
As soon as these words came out, there was silence at the scene, and only three or four of the more than 150 people in the audience raised their hands.
Li Fan nodded, and asked again, "What about the 'cunning' of 'scheming + handing'?"
Three people raised their hands, but Li Fan didn't ask a question, nodded and asked: "What about the 'shame' in 'making Jianzhong far have the time to be ashamed'? What about the 'humiliation' in 'multiplying the war and drought, and the world is bent......
After asking some questions in a row, 95% of people are in a state of confusion, after all, who studies it through fake words, even if they learn it in school, they have long forgotten it. Don't talk about them, even if the knowledge of the three experts is together, Li Fan's few fake words are not complete.
The level of identification ability involves many fields such as literature, history, archaeology, materials science, art, customs, etc., but if you want to master all aspects of knowledge thoroughly, how can you have so much energy?
Li Fan said: "Everyone has seen that among the 150 friends here who are interested in antiques and cultural relics, there are only a handful of people who really master fake characters. Moreover, the use of this word is very obscure, even in this line, it is very rare. ”
Wu Long shook his head: "Otherwise, since it exists, how can you be sure that only you know this, and the counterfeiter doesn't understand the word "驩"?"
Your sister, raise the bar!
Li Fan didn't know that two of the three didn't know the extremely strange history of the word "驩", otherwise he would have asked them directly, do you know? The experts don't know, but the counterfeiters know it, and the level of your experts is not good!
Li Fan pursed his lips, he had to waste his tongue, "Okay, just this word '驩', I will tell the audience and friends carefully, why can I judge eight or nine without leaving ten with this word alone!"
As I said before, this "驩" is a fake "歡", which is basically difficult to see after the Han, Tang and Song dynasties, and in literary works, I will introduce it to you:
During the Ming Dynasty in China, the word "驩" appeared 10 times in all literary works, only 10 times. They are:
In Zuo Guoji's "Farewell to Nantangzi", 'he is lost and a bad guest, not a thousand years of crowning ancient talents. 'One sentence;
Yan Song's "Seeing and Repairing Zhang Sheng's Poems and Sending It" in 'The lamentation is full of Feng Yu, and he feels the empty bullet Gong Yu crown. 'One sentence;
……
Ruan Hanwen in "Show Brother" 'The arrogant and rebellious brigade of the donkey, Qiu Yu is fast and proud. 'One sentence;
In Chen Duo's "Sending Zhang Wenzhao with Rhyme", "A quiet official is willing to keep his clumsy, and he laughs at Feng Yu when he is played." 'One sentence;
And in the Qing Dynasty, in literary works, the word '驩' no longer appeared!"
Guan Tong in the audience was completely stupid, and he was stunned, who is Ruan Hanwen? Who is Zuo Guoji? Who is Chen Duo? I only know Li Bai, Du Fu, Su Shi and others, who are these people?
Also, how can you Li Fan be so convinced that the word "驩" only appears ten times in the literary history of the Ming Dynasty? But I don't think you are bragging, because you have listed all ten of these ten words containing the word "驩" in one breath, and you haven't hit the adze, I have no reason to doubt you for such a terrible move!
This Li Fan, is he so powerful? Oh my God, I'm going to search for him on the Internet in a while!
Guan Tong, who had just returned to China, didn't understand the "national situation", and was shocked and trembled, his eyes full of admiration. And the other viewers have already been baptized by Li Fan many times, and now they have "antibodies", so they won't shout and scream, after all, this is Li Fan's routine operation, and everyone has experienced too much!
However, the audience, who were full of admiration and sighed to themselves, still gave applause for the first time.
Li Fan concluded: "Throughout the history of Chinese literature, '驩' as a common fake word, a total of 140 times, after the Ming Dynasty, the literary history of the '驩' word no longer see the common fake word.
However, although the word "驩" did not appear in the literary works of the Qing Dynasty, in various handicrafts, such as porcelain, carving, etc., this "驩" has been slightly "rekindled", and the word "驩" appeared in the antiques of the Qing Dynasty that I saw, a total of 8 pieces, all of which were in the Qianlong period, and did not appear in other periods. ”
Wang Xiang asked, "Why did this word appear in the Qianlong period?"
Li Fan explained: "There are several explanations for this, all of which cannot stand scrutiny, and there are few scholars who study this character, after all, it is extremely easy to ignore fake characters in utensils."
I believe that there are hundreds of words on the screen on the stage, and the teachers should not have paid special attention to individual words just now, right?"
Several teachers were silent, and Li Fan continued: "Let's go back to this word, because the 8 antiques are not particularly famous, and they are relatively scattered, there are four in China, and the rest are abroad, and I don't think there will be many scholars who pay attention to this detail!"
This is extremely unpopular common sense in the industry, so cold that many experts may not know! If the counterfeiter happens to know this, then who is he going to deceive?
If you plan to deceive the public, traditional Chinese characters are enough, you can get a fake word, it is estimated that you have to explain it to people, the key is, after you explain, do people believe you?
Besides, even if this screen is a modern product, this wood, this handmade and this gem, if you want to buy this modern product, you have to pay at least 2 million yuan.
Ordinary people can't afford to spend, collectors you can't deceive, rich people will look for people's eyes, there is no need to cheat. ”
Wu Long said: "However, in this industry, there are some high-end fakes that want to deceive the masters! You know the famous "Eight Paintings" incident Li Fan, right?"
Raise the bar again!
It is necessary to use 10% of the possible conditions to question Li Fan's 90% correctness, which is that an expert is trying his best to maintain his authority in appraisal.
Li Fan's smile was gone, and his voice was slightly cold: "There is an essential difference between the "Eight Paintings" incident and today, so I will return it again without discussion.
If this screen is fake, then the following conditions need to be triggered at the same time:
1. The counterfeiter is a master-level figure.
2, the master happened to think of using this word to fake.
3. The target customers of counterfeiting are high-end collectors or scholars.
You can imagine the possibility of these three triggering at the same time. ”
Li Fan said this, looked at the three experts, and continued: "
And the most crucial point, since the excellent wood, fine gems and delicate handiwork have been exhausted, a lot of trouble has been tossed, and even the minute details of the word "驩" have been taken into account, which is to define the screen as an antique in the Qianlong period.
You don't have any doubts about this, right?
However, all the conditions are exquisite, but why is the most conspicuous place neglected, why is this screen not old, but so new?
If it's going to be made into a fake, people with brains will make it old manually, which is the biggest loophole and completely unreasonable!"
The experts were speechless, and the audience nodded sharply in agreement:
"yes, why didn't I think of this?"
"Li Fan is right, if you work hard to make a fake, but you lose the surface work, this brain-dead won't do it!"
"Look, the expert was said by Li Fan to be out of power!"
……
Li Fan said: "To sum up, from the analysis of the word "驩" layer by layer, the probability of this screen being counterfeited basically does not exist! It is from the Qianlong period!"
Before, Li Fan only said slightly politely, "It may be during the Qianlong period", but now he has changed his words, and his words are conclusive, and he is not polite.
Wang Hua said: "It may also be the current handicrafts, which are made of antique, not without this possibility." ”
Nima, so annoying, raised the bar again.
If I raise the bar like this, I will give you a lever and you will all be able to lift the earth.
Li Fan's face was cold in vain, and when he was about to speak, Guan Tong said: "I think the angle from which we consider the problem is completely wrong, why do we find various angles to confirm that this screen is fake, why don't you use facts to speak, and put out examples to prove that this screen is real?"
Wang Xiang said: "Guan Tong's words are good, we have gone astray, we are now trying to prove that this is a fake from all angles, if we can, we can come up with 180 possibilities of fraud, this is a manifestation of excessive suspicion, let's change the angle and analyze it from the positive direction."
Li Fan, what other evidence do you have to say that it is true, except for the word "驩". ”
Li Fan said: "Actually, the word "驩", combined with the quality of the entire screen is enough, then good, I will say a few more words! First of all, what is the basis for the three teachers to think that this screen is a modern product?"
The atmosphere on the stage was a little strange, although it was not tense, but there was an undercurrent, and everyone spoke very calmly, but it was slightly cold.
Director Lu: "This thing is like what I said before, it's good anywhere, it's new." ”
Li Fan asked, "What if there is nothing other than the new one?"
The three experts were silent again.
Li Fan said: "First of all, the Palace Museum has a Taishi chair from the Kangxi period, which is as new as ever, and it looks newer than this screen. The formation of the shell is conditional, oxidation is processed, and proper preservation is not a big problem. If you are interested, you can go to the Palace Museum. ”
Li Fan glanced at the screen again and said, "This screen is carved with the famous Ten Views of the West Lake, does anyone know which Ten Views of the West Lake are?"
After an audience member raised his hand to answer, Li Fan nodded and pointed to one of the screens, "Everyone knows that there are "Orioles in the Willow Waves" in the Ten Scenes, but on this screen, why is it written "Orioles in the Willow Shore"?"
Everyone was stunned, right, why didn't anyone observe this?
Li Fan explained: "Does anyone think that this is a fake? The carving master made a "mistake"? Let me tell you that in the first year of Qianlong, it was called "Singing Orioles on the Willow Shore," and this "Singing Orioles in the Willow Waves" was changed by later generations. This is clearly evidenced in the "Ten Views of Caixi Lake", you can go and see it.
Moreover, when the wind blows the willow waves, it is basically difficult to hear the sound of the warbler. This is the evidence that I judged it to be a year before Qianlong2.
Let's look again, in the screen, there is a detail in this "Leifeng Sunset", everyone looks at the tower, a lot of hooking techniques are used, and this craft has been lost.
……”
After talking for a while, Li Fan looked at the huge screen that was more than 3 meters high, and said, "If this is treated as a fake, how much money will be lost!"
The treasure collector was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed to Li Fan: "Thank you, Teacher Li, thank you, Teacher Li!"
Everyone looked at the three experts again, and the three experts blushed.
The answer is already very clear, the problem that can be solved with just one word "驩", Li Fan "had no choice" and wasted another tongue, and then the dust settled.
At this time, suddenly, but seeing Director Lu, he laughed, "Eh, look, let's also take a look, it's really rare to have a character like Li Fan in the younger generation!"
I'm so happy today, talent! Talent is rare!"
Wang Hua also clapped his hands, "A genius of Chinese culture is a genius of Chinese culture, I praise you!"
Wu Long even clasped his fists with both hands: "Admire! Admire!"
……
This face changed and it was really unexpected.
The audience burst into applause and the audience whispered.
"I'm rubbing, Li Fan faced the three experts, and he analyzed it reasonably, and the head is the way, amazing!"
"Li Fan has goods in his stomach, otherwise why are people so confident!"
"This brother is a slap in the face. ”
……
The treasure bearer asked Li Fan for advice: "Teacher Li, may I ask, how much is this screen worth?"
"I can't give you an estimate, because this thing can't be valued. But I'll tell you, even if it's a modern product, it's very valuable. ”
……
When the storm fell, the show continued, and the subsequent appraisal of the three experts became timid and cautious.
The second question of Li Fanhong's team is to judge whether a Xuande furnace is from the Xuande period, and Li Fan once again exposed it at a glance:
"Fake, not in the Xuande period, the Xuande furnace in this period, the German character will basically be one less "horizontal"!"
The words fell, and there was not a single opposing lamp behind him.
Li Fan explained: "There have always been many theories about why the word "de" in Xuande furnace is not horizontal. Many experts believe that the word "De" does not have a horizontal in order to avoid the emperor's year name, but this explanation is very far-fetched, because on the coins of Xuande Year, Xuande Tongbao is an official money minted by the Ming Dynasty government, and the word "De" has a horizontal;
But on the contrary, Vietnam imitated our privately minted coins, and the word "De" did not have this horizontal.
I studied the relevant literature and believed that Emperor Xuande liked Shen Du's calligraphy, and Shen Du's calligraphy was based on the calligraphy of the two kings and Zhiyong, and the word "de" at that time was basically not horizontal.
For the third topic, Li Fan still got 50 votes!
At the end of tonight's episode, Guan Tong asked quietly: "Li Fan, why are the three experts so watery?"
Li Fan whispered: "Among the experts from all walks of life, this industry has the most parallel goods! Many of the books published by everyone, including those published by Zhonghua Book Company, are full of errors, which makes people laugh and be generous. ”
"Then why are you so good?"
"It's not that I'm good, it's all the foil of my peers!"
