"You should also know that if anything is to be repaired, as long as it is repaired once, then it must be repaired a second time." Pi Qiushi said with a smile: "Craftsmen are very particular and will leave room for themselves." ”
"Understood."
Yu Feibai nodded and said: "When you can use raw rubber, you definitely don't need dead glue, so as not to block your back road." The most important thing is that the viscosity of the raw rubber must be relatively poor, so it is easier to wait for the second repair! ”
"You guy, you are psychologically dark, and you are living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain." Wang Guan laughed and scolded. Then I looked at the jade pillow, and then looked at the copper box, and then I was a little embarrassed, and I didn't know which one to start with first.
"It's not that I'm psychologically dark, it's human nature, or the profiteer's instinct to pursue profit." Yu Feibai spread his hands and said: "I'm an honest person, I don't know tactfulness, if I accidentally poke someone's sore spot, then I can't blame me." ”
"Don't think I don't know, you're turning around the corner and scolding me for being a profiteer." Wang Guan said angrily: "Be careful that I report to Officer Xu that someone in Hangzhou wants me to take me to enjoy special services." ”
"What kind of special service, don't talk nonsense, otherwise I will sue you directly for slander." Yu Feibai pretended to be stupid, and quickly changed the topic: "You just took the box and weighed it for a long time, should you really plan to peel it off?" ”
"I think I must be thinking, but I'm afraid of hurting the box, do you have a way?" Wang Guan asked.
"It's so simple."
Yu Feibai smiled: "You are a fan of the authorities, this box has no lock, and now the lid is rusty." As long as you clean the rust spots on the edge of the lid and break it with all your strength, you will definitely be done. ”
"Seems to make some sense......"
Wang Guan nodded slightly, and according to Yu Feibai's opinion, he took a small brush and gently brushed away the rust marks on the edge of the box. Then tap for a moment. Let the place where the box body is connected to the lid become loose, and then wrap it around a thick towel.
"Bang!"
The box opened in response, emitting a movement that resembled the echo of a hollow. At the same time, an object fell out of the box. Wang Guan was also prepared, and laid a layer of mat on the ground, so things naturally did not break.
"Isn't it, it's really hidden?"
Yu Feibai was stunned for a moment, stretched out his hand and grabbed the thing to watch, only to see that the thing was wrapped in silk. It should be wrapped in several layers, so when you put it in the box. Shake the box but don't hear a sound.
"Hard, a little heavy, is it gold and silver?" Yu Feibai guessed, but the speed was not slow, and he quickly tore the silk cloth apart. A moment later, a somewhat curvature appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
"It's ......"
After a glance, Yu Feibai's eyes widened, and his expression was not very calm. I saw this thing, in a rectangular form. Its surface is slightly concave and semicircular. The color is dark, and the whole body is covered with a grid-like texture. In addition, there are soil flowers, ancient rust, and impregnated spots, which are vivid, full of traces left by the vicissitudes of time.
"Tile inkstone."
Pi Qiushi next to him was also a little amazed. Then he hurriedly signaled: "Feibai, see if there are any words on the back." ”
"Fifteen years of Jian'an!" Yu Feibai hurriedly flipped the tile inkstone over, and sure enough, he saw a few official books behind him, and they were floating Yangwen. The font is clumsy and natural. It's not the same.
"It's done, it's done."
Seeing these five words, Yu Feibai was pleasantly surprised: "It's actually Tongquetai tile inkstone." ”
Pi Qiushi had already expected it a little. Now that he is sure, he immediately patted Wang Guan on the shoulder, and sighed: "Brother, your luck is really nothing to say, people casually throw you worthless things, which are the treasures that major collectors dream of." ”
"I don't know if it's true or not." Wang Guan said with a smile, it was completely cheap and good. Others don't know the authenticity, how can he not know.
"The copper box collection in the late Tang Dynasty, the box has not been opened, and it is a newly unearthed thing." Pi Qiu listed it and said with a smile: "It's hard to say the others, even if this tile inkstone is not genuine, it is also an imitation of the year." The imitation of the Tongquetai tile inkstone in the Tang Dynasty has been handed down to the present day and is also a valuable thing. ”
"That's not right."
Yu Feibai shook his head and said with great certainty: "It is definitely genuine, and the situation of imitating the counterfeit Tongquetai tile inkstone should be after the Song Dynasty." The Tongque tiles of the Tang Dynasty are relatively numerous, not as scarce as in later generations, so there will be no fakes. ”
"Or maybe."
Pi Qiushi said with a smile: "After all, I said that the box may be in the late Tang Dynasty, or it may have reached the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms." The two periods are similar in age, and it is really difficult to judge without specific knowledge. However, I personally prefer the late Tang Dynasty, because the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms are too chaotic, and it is the world of martial artists, so I don't pay much attention to the literati, even if I get the Tongquetai tile inkstone, I won't cherish it too much. ”
"Only in the late Tang Dynasty, even if it was a situation of separatism between feudal towns and towns, it was still the Tang dynasty on the surface, and at least it retained respect for the literati. It is estimated that it was also during that period that it was not easy for poor scholars to study, and famous families were obsessed with the ancients. ”
Pi Qiushi chuckled: "So what you said is also a little reasonable, after all, it has only been paid attention to for a short time, and the Tongquetai tiles should not be so scarce, so as not to start falsifying." ”
"But then again, speculation or anything is false. It is also relatively simple to verify whether it is true or not. ”
Pi Qiushi explained: "Do you know why there are not many fakes of Tongquetai tile inkstone on the market? That's due to the fact that fakes are inferior to the real thing. The real copper bird tile inkstone is very exquisite, and the traces on it have been buried for many years, and after years of erosion of the earth, it gradually formed a special tin flower and piano pattern. Such traces can only be produced naturally, and cannot be forged at all. ”
"That's it."
At the same time, Yu Feibai pointed to the side wall of the tile inkstone in his hand, where the yellow lines on the guqin and the checkered grid were clearly visible.
"That's right."
Pi Qiushi nodded and said: "Anyway, a tile is a tile, even if this tile is special, but in the process of making, it must be put on linen and sent to the kiln for firing." Then when it comes to firing into shape, these textures will naturally be left. Of course, some people don't understand it, thinking that if you forge the pattern, everything will be fine. But I don't know that there is only a texture and no tin flower, which is also the biggest flaw. ”
"Brother Pi, I always hear you mention tinflower."
At this time, Wang Guan was also a little curious: "So what exactly is a tin flower, is there a mottled trace on the tile inkstone?" ”
"The mottled marks are moss, which are the marks formed by the interweaving of soil flowers, ancient rust, and impregnation,"
Pi Qiushi smiled: "As for the tin flower, it is easier to understand, you pay attention to the inkstone on the tile surface...... Did you see the blue-gray lead tin, and there are granular things, and some micronized white flowers, that is tin flowers? ”
"I've always emphasized that this thing is a tile. The purpose of making this thing was to build a palace and protect it from the wind and rain, and I didn't expect that later generations would use tiles to make inkstones. ”
Between speaking, Pi Qiushi also sighed a little: "Although people have verified it now, the Tongquetai tiles are made of pure and delicate Zhanghe Cheng mud, added to Dan, lead, tin and other raw materials to be fired, and the exterior is decorated with walnut oil, which is inky black. However, it is useless to have a recipe alone, the heat and process are not right, and it is impossible to present the effect of tin flowers in the watt. ”
Wang Guan and Yu Feibai nodded again and again, as long as the three characteristics are synthesized, and then carefully studied and compared, they will definitely be able to identify the authenticity of Tongquetai tile inkstone. It is no wonder that in the auctions over the years, there are very few genuine tile inkstones of Tongquetai, mainly because the things themselves are scarce, and the fakes are not similar enough, so they naturally cannot be on the auction stage.
It's not that the auction company doesn't want to make this money, but a little appraisal can determine that it is a fake, and it is estimated that not many people are willing to do this wrong. Although the auction is not authentic, it is necessary to pay attention to some face, and you can't directly fool people with things that are not real enough.
"Chao's guest record records that there are three copper bird tile inkstones, tin flowers, leibu, and moss, and the wind and rain carving cannot be faked. This is our current standard for authenticity, but there is also an important supporting evidence. ”
At this time, Pi Qiushi smiled and said: "Some people believe in this supporting evidence as the truth, and some people feel that it is too absolute to be used as a basis for judgment......
"What corroboration?" Yu Feibai hurriedly asked.
"Practicality."
Pi Qiu didn't have an appetite, and said directly: "The copper bird tile was originally made by burning at high temperature and high fire, and it should be a relatively dry thing. However, due to the long-term burial in the ground through rain, dew, frost and wind, the soil is stained with water, and the fire of the thing itself has long receded, and it has become rusty and mottled, and it has a subtle moisturizing nature, which is very easy to ink and moisturize. ”
That is to say, the real Tongquetai tile inkstone has the characteristics of moisturizing and moisturizing, and it does not permeate for a long time. This is something that counterfeiters can't do, and even if a fake is created, it won't be able to achieve the effect of the real thing. ”
At this moment, Pi Qiushi said mysteriously: "In addition, if the legendary genuine Tongquetai tile inkstone is placed in a place where it can touch the earth, every time it rains, there will be slightly wet water stains on the inkstone. When the rain did not stop but was about to clear, the water stains on the inkstone dried first, as if it were a barometer. ”
"Isn't it an exaggeration?"
Wang Guan and Yu Feibai were skeptical.
"What is this, there is more exaggerated." Pi Qiushi smiled and said: "There was a literati in the Ming Dynasty who wrote a song of Tongque Yan, the poem is like this, open the brush and try it, the five-color light is really fun." The hall seems to be full of waves, and the wind and clouds in front of the eaves are scattered. The content is not only exaggerated, it has reached the point of mystery and mystery. ”
"Of course, it can also be seen that during the Ming Dynasty, the Tongquetai tile inkstone was basically extinct, and it was rare for ordinary people to see it, so they had to rely on their own imagination." Pi Qiushi said with a smile: "Putting aside those exaggerated and bizarre statements, do you think the practicability of Tongque tile inkstone is an important auxiliary evidence for identifying authenticity?" ”
"Something inevitable." Yu Feibai agreed: "Practicality is actually quality, quality first!" ”
"This doesn't have to be ......" (To be continued.) )
