Chapter 315 Antique Appraisal
Liu Qi didn't expect that he was just a sarcastic remark to Zhang Tianyuan, but it caused Dou Xiaoling, Ma Yong, and Qin Mu to refute, and his face was a little hot for a while, he was okay as a director, but when he told people about antiques, it was too far away, and it was not good at all.
He was put aside at this time, but several experts were there to discuss it enthusiastically.
"Some people say that archaeological identification and antique identification are the same, what do you think, Ma Lao?" Zhang Tianyuan has actually always wanted to ask this question, he is still not clear enough about the definition of archaeological identification and antique identification, and he happened to meet these experts today, it would be a pity not to ask.
"Okay, young people are willing to learn, that's enough, whether it's archaeological appraisal or antique appraisal, don't be arrogant and self-righteous." Ma Yong nodded, obviously very satisfied with Zhang Tianyuan's appearance: "Now I understand, why did that old guy Li Mingguang dare to let you come for him, you are indeed a bit of a pound, okay, I will answer this question." ”
Ma Yong touched his beard, sorted out his thoughts, and then continued: "Antique appraisal is different from archaeological appraisal, the premise of archaeological appraisal is that the authenticity of the appraisal object itself is beyond doubt, and its core and focus is to comprehensively verify the historical, social, human, scientific, and artistic value contained in the appraisal object itself, and its economic value is basically not considered; The primary and core task of antique appraisal is to confirm the authenticity and falsity, new and old of the appraisal object, and the focus is to estimate its economic value according to its surviving quantity and rarity.
For a long time, archaeological appraisal has been supported, supported and monopolized by the government, and the state has invested a lot of financial, human and material resources to carry out a relatively in-depth, meticulous and systematic theoretical sorting, sorting and research. And a considerable number of cultural relics collection, excavation, archiving and other work have been done, so that the research and practice of archaeological identification have achieved relatively impressive results and achievements. ”
"Ahh In this way, I used to really get confused. I've always confused archaeological identification with antique identification. Zhang Tianyuan felt that he really didn't ask this question in vain, he couldn't tell what archaeological identification and antique identification were before, it was completely a paste, and now that he thinks about it, he really made a lot of jokes.
"I'll just understand it later. Due to the restrictions of economic conditions and the old cultural relics law, antique appraisal has always been limited to personal hobbies and solitary level, lacking extensive, in-depth and systematic theoretical research, and there is no comprehensive, accurate and timely material collection, supplementation and updating, and there is a lack of professional, specialized, full-time practitioners and institutions, all the so-called practitioners and institutions of antique appraisal today. All of them are in response to the needs of the rapidly heating up cultural relics market with the promulgation of the new cultural relics law, and have been reborn, transformed or even part-time from archaeological appraisal personnel and institutions.
The facts have already fully proved that antique appraisal is absolutely different from archaeological appraisal, and the theory, way, method, thinking and vision of archaeological appraisal are used, applied and engaged in antique appraisal, which is no different from those who make the wind and horses hard! When Ma Yong said this, he actually coughed angrily.
"Ma Lao, you rest, I'll help you continue." Qin Mu saw Ma Yong coughing and hurriedly said.
"It's okay, I'll drink saliva." Ma Yong nodded.
Qin Mu took over the conversation. He looked at Zhang Tianyuan and said: "All these so-called experts and scholars who are engaged in archaeological appraisal and come out of their homes to engage in antique appraisal have no higher experience, level, ability and starting point than anyone who is involved in antique appraisal, antique collection and even antique trading at the entry level, and if their thinking is rigid, self-righteous, and unable to face up to reality, their actions, processes and results will be far lower, inferior to, and inferior to antique newcomers!"
Because the foothold and starting point of the newcomer to antiques is zero at best and never negative. Their minds are a blank sheet of unstained paper, and they have no worries about what they learn, write, and memorize. There are no thresholds, no rules; The difference is with all the so-called experts and scholars who are engaged in archaeological appraisal and who have come out of their homes to engage in antique appraisal halfway. Thinking has become a stereotype, and the mind has long been full, and it is not also applicable to the economy of antique identification without deleting and updating. For the appraisal of antiques, these rules and regulations that are not applicable, impractical and therefore cannot be used have become a heavy burden and a superfluous burden, which is negative and fetters! ”
"That's right, Curator Qin is right, which is why we welcome young people like Xiao Zhang to join the antique appraisal team." Jun Ruhai interjected.
"Reporter Wang, Miss Dou, Director Liu, you are all from the national television, probably you will not forget that the national television once had a program called 'Inheritance Archives', right? Qin Mu looked at the people and asked.
"Of course I know, the show is still going on." Reporter Wang nodded.
"According to the 'heirloom archives' broadcast by national television, the blue and white phoenix head flat pot that is now collected in the Capital Museum and unearthed in the imperial capital Liupu Kang is a blue and white phoenix head flat pot from the Yuan Dynasty to the first year, which is broken into 48 pieces and has 17 incomplete fragments to be repaired, because there are a large number of circumstantial objects, its authenticity has no doubt. But the reality is that except for restorers and insiders, all ceramic appraisal experts, ceramic collectors and enthusiasts are almost unanimous: new life! The reason is that the soft road is not obvious, the tire repair is too regular, the bottom foot is too standardized, the hair color is too gorgeous, the painting is too exquisite, and all the style characteristics do not meet the characteristics of the blue and white of the Yuan Dynasty! Such a ridiculous thing is a stupid thing that our so-called experts do together. Qin Mu sighed and said.
"Isn't it, is there such a thing?" Zhang Tianyuan really hadn't heard of such a thing, and asked with some surprise.
"What's more, in fact, in another program of national television, "Exploration and Discovery", Xiang Jialin donated four pieces of Song Dynasty Ding kiln products to the town. River. The case of the rejection of the Municipal Museum is even more outrageous, outrageous and despicable, a large group of so-called experts, so-called scholars and so-called authorities who are old enough, have high enough professional titles, have enough positions, have enough halos, and have enough achievements to face rare treasures, and they actually say in unison: new imitation! The reason turned out to be: the shape of the instrument has never been seen, and it is fabricated; The carcass and glaze color do not match the porcelain specimens of the kiln, so they are new imitations; No signs of use. Self-new; Green has not yet been recognized by the academic community, and it must be made later; There is a simplified word 'love' on it. It's undoubtedly burning! It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous, it's a shame to throw it home. A bunch of idiots who buckle the hat of experts and mislead people's children! Qin Mu said as he spoke, and he was trembling with anger.
"Curator Qin, dissipate your anger, dissipate your anger." Zhang Tianyuan hurriedly said.
"How can I be angry, you look at these evidence, look at these reasons, look at these mentalities, look at these abilities. Take a look at these levels, take a look at these faces! This is the current situation, ability and level of antique appraisal and even archaeological appraisal and cultural relics appraisal in China today! From this, it is not difficult for us to see the problem: today's so-called antique appraisal experts are just historical butchers and artistic reckless men who only believe in eyes, only believe in themselves, and only believe in theories, and do not grasp the essential characteristics of antiques at all. Qin Mu slapped his hand on the arm of the chair and said angrily.
At this time, Zhang Tianyuan was a little lucky, he was glad that the experts he met were not the kind of experts who did not learn and were self-righteous, but really modest and cautious experts like Ma Yong and Qin Mu, so that he would not be taken to the ditch.
"You can think about it. If this blue and white phoenix head flat pot from the Yuan Dynasty to the first year of the Yuan Dynasty is not for those experts and scholars to see its unearthing, but from the folk and no one, especially celebrities, can prove its exact provenance, imagine what the result and fate will be? It must be that the country has one less national first-class cultural relic, and there is another irreparable scar in history! And how many Xiang Jialin-style tragedies, tragedies, and farces will be staged on the land of China every day? Qin Mu sighed heavily, looking angry and helpless: "That's why I said Director Liu, Miss Dou." You must do a better job in this program, invite real experts to be guests, and establish the righteousness of the antique appraisal industry. Don't follow the crowd, don't let the antique world suffer an unknown catastrophe. ”
listened to the words of Qin Mu and Ma Yong. Zhang Tianyuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Self-righteous, arrogant and arrogant, experts who dominate the world!" In fact, your shallowness, ignorance, stubbornness and meanness are the enemies of antique appraisal and the antique market! Compared with the counterfeiters and counterfeiters, their actions are more hateful, their poison is greater, and their consequences are more severe and irreparable! Because counterfeiters and counterfeiters are only swindling some money at best, and your shallowness, ignorance, stubbornness, meanness, and frivolity are enough to lead to the loss of national treasures, the destruction of art, and the annihilation of history! The sin is not insignificant. Its sins are not deep, and its evil is not fierce and ugly! ”
Qin Mu saw Zhang Tianyuan sitting there with his head bowed and pondered, so he eased his feelings and said with a smile: "True and false, new and old, good and bad, imitation and fake, it seems to be so simple and simple to think about, talk about, and say, but it is clearly so complicated and difficult to see, distinguish, and distinguish it!" Xiao Zhang, it's not terrible to not understand, it's the most terrible thing to pretend to understand if you don't understand, I think Professor Li asked you to come this time, just to tell you this truth, learn slowly, don't worry, and don't look at how big the hats are on our heads, that's not interesting, there are real skills, real kung fu, that's the truth. ”
"I understand, Curator Qin."
"It's good to get it. It's good to get it! So far, we have not found a ruler that can cover the ancient and modern, universally recognized, and tried and tested golden rule, which can accurately measure, distinguish, distinguish, identify and characterize the true and false, the old and the new, the good and the bad, the imitation and the fake! I hope that your generation can accomplish what we have not done and make a real ruler for the authenticity of antiques. Qin Mu said with a smile.
Hearing this, Wang Ye asked with some confusion: "Director Qin, I heard that no matter whether it is ceramic appraisal or calligraphy and painting appraisal, don't there are some established rules in the antique world, or are they already written methods?" ”
Qin Mu shook his head and said: "When you learn mathematics, there are theorems and axioms, but in the antique world, those so-called empirical talks can't talk about theorems or axioms at all, and there is no rigor at all. For example, you say that by looking at the composition and color of the fetus, you can accurately distinguish between the real and the fake, the new and the old, the good and the bad, the imitation and the fake! Is that really the case? The facts have already fully proved that whether it is the fragrant gray tire of the Song Dynasty, or the brown rice tire of the Yuan Dynasty, or the glutinous rice tire of Kangxi, the old and the new, the real and the fake, the good and the bad, and the imitation and the fake are generally the same! How can you tell? (To be continued......)
