Chapter 258: Mr. Zhu Da's Origin
"The domestic enamel color material is not as bright as the imported enamel color after roasting, and the glass texture is also poor, so you should be able to feel it when you touch it slightly with your hand......"
Wang Guan listened carefully to the guidance of several old-timers, with a teachable expression on his face.
"This kid is so slippery."
Seeing this, Gao Dequan scolded in his heart and couldn't help but chuckle.
"Uncle Gao, what are you laughing at?"
Su Yu's eyes were sharp, and he felt that Gao Dequan's smile seemed to have some deep meaning.
"Nothing?" Gao Dequan shook his head lightly and did not explain. However, in my heart, I felt that Wang Guan was pretending to be confused, and he could even see that the plate was a fake of Mr. Zhu Da, how could he not know that this was a new glaze?
It's just that the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. If you steal the limelight too much, you will be hated, so it's just clumsy.
For a while, not only Gao Dequan thought so, but even the shopkeeper Li Da and others next to him, including Zhang Lao, also felt so, and secretly praised Wang Guan for understanding things and saving them some face.
Otherwise, Wang Guan finished talking alone, what else is going on with everyone? If this is the case, wouldn't other people become the background and foil of Wang Guan? Although these old people are open-minded and don't mind this, they feel a little uncomfortable in their hearts. I will definitely not treat Wang Guan as my own grandson like now, and I will give him careful guidance, and I can't wait to pass on all my knowledge to him.
"No, I'm not a fake!"
Suddenly, the shopkeeper of Yue Da screamed, as if he was about to die.
It's not surprising to everyone, it's human nature. No matter who knows that something worth one or two hundred million in his hand is actually a fake, he will have such a reaction.
Qin Lao sighed and comforted: "Xiao Yue." Don't be sad. Everybody has a time to be eye-catching......"
"Old Qin, this thing is not a fake."
At this time, the shopkeeper Yue came over. After picking up the plate and looking at it for a moment, he said confidently, "Your judgment is wrong. It's a rare goodie, and it's definitely not a fake. ”
"Lao Yue, you just accept the reality."
Next to him, a big shopkeeper frowned and said, "Didn't you see Mr. Zhu's mark?" ”
"It's just when I see this mark that I'm sure it's a rare good thing." The shopkeeper Yue was calm and calm, and a smile bloomed on the corner of his mouth: "Strictly speaking, this is not called a fake, but an imitation. ”
"Fakes, imitations. Aren't they all fake, what's the difference? Su Yu was a little inexplicable.
"There are new imitations and old imitations in the antique industry." Gao Dequan explained. The face was thoughtful.
Meanwhile. Zhang Lao frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Yue." What do you mean by that? ”
"Elder Zhang, why do you ask knowingly." The shopkeeper Yue said with a smile: "Seniors, you should know the origin of Mr. Zhu Da, then you must understand what I mean." ”
In an instant, Zhang Lao and the others fell silent, their expressions changing.
"Mr. Zhu Da's origin ......" Wang Guan was very confused by this, and muttered to himself: "Isn't Mr. Zhu Da a master of counterfeiting in the eighties of the last century, what else can he have?" ”
"Haha, little brother, I admit that you have a good eye and can spot unusual places on your plate."
The shopkeeper Yue laughed, shook his head and said, "However, you are still young after all, and you should not have been in the industry for a long time, so it is normal not to know Mr. Zhu's origin." Not only you, but in addition to the old-timers present, I'm afraid even a few of them don't know what Mr. Zhu Da is. ”
The people in the mouth of the shopkeeper of Yue Da naturally refer to the few people of the shopkeeper of Li.
The shopkeeper Li was naturally not convinced, and couldn't help but shout: "Who said that we don't know, if you don't know Mr. Zhu's words, how can you be sure that your plate is a fake." ”
"Then tell me, what is the origin of Mr. Zhu?" Wang Guan was very interested.
Next to him, the shopkeeper Yue also smiled and said, "Lao Li, it's useless to shout." If you really know, tell me why everyone respectfully calls a person who makes fakes Mr. Zhu Da. ”
That's right......
Wang Guan was stunned, but he also reacted, and realized that this title was unreasonable. You must know that people who make and sell counterfeits should be disgusted, how can they still be so respectful.
At the same time, the shopkeeper Li also said: "That's because everyone admires his superb skills......"
", a talented and virtuous person, who will admire him?"
The shopkeeper Yue scolded with a smile: "It seems that you don't know why." ”
"You know, you just say, what is the sale." The shopkeeper Li didn't have a good air.
"Of course I have to say, or you will think I'm being stubborn and won't admit that something is a fake." The shopkeeper Yue smiled lightly: "If you are not sure, I will not run the train with my mouth full and let you laugh." ”
While speaking, the shopkeeper Yue Da glanced at Zhang Lao and the others, and then said slowly: "Lao Li, you only know Mr. Zhu Da twenty years ago, but you don't know that as early as more than three hundred years ago, there was also a Mr. Zhu Da. Moreover, Mr. Zhu Da three hundred years ago is the real Mr. Zhu Da, and Mr. Zhu Da twenty years ago is actually a fake. ”
"What!"
For a moment, Wang Guan was extremely stunned, and even felt that his thoughts were a little confused.
"Don't think I'm talking nonsense."
The shopkeeper of Yue Da smiled and said: "More than 300 years ago, Mr. Zhu Da burned a large number of precious antique porcelain and sold them to the dignitaries at that time. If it weren't for the coincidence, a certain senior official found Mr. Zhu's mark in the bottle that was accidentally broken, and he didn't know that the thing was fake. ”
After discovering Mr. Zhu's mark, the official realized that the situation was wrong, and he smashed a few more antique bottles ruthlessly, and immediately saw the same mark. Antiques from different dynasties have the same markings, and anyone who is not a fool understands that something is strange. ”
The shopkeeper of Yue Da said with a smile: "After the news came out, other dignitaries and nobles also found Mr. Zhu Da's mark on the precious antique porcelain in their own collection. At this time, everyone suddenly realized that they had been deceived. ”
"At first, people didn't know what this cobweb-like mark meant. However, a clever man cracked the mystery and erased the outer circle, revealing a seal script. Since then, Mr. Zhu Da's name has quickly spread among the antique industry. ”
At this time, Zhang Lao added: "Since the people who were deceived were all high-ranking officials and magnates of the Qing court, and then thought of the Zhu character in the seal body, everyone guessed that this person might be a descendant of the Ming Dynasty royal family, so they respectfully called him Mr. Zhu Da." ”
"At that time, even the palace had a collection of Mr. Zhu's fakes."
At the same time, Qin Lao said with a bit of reverence: "Later, when I learned about this, the emperor was furious and wanted to clean up Mr. Zhu's fakes, but it was difficult to identify which one was genuine and which one was an imitation. I had to investigate slowly, until more than ten years later, I still found fish that slipped through the net from time to time. ”
"So we guess that it is for this reason that the Qing Dynasty emperors were so keen on burning antique porcelain." Bai Lao smiled and said: "After all, the ancient porcelain doesn't know the authenticity, so I just fire it myself to masturbate." ”
The biggest feature of Qing Dynasty porcelain is the large number of antique porcelain. Experts believe that this is due to the Qing Dynasty emperor's habit of antiquity, and at the same time reflects the Qing Dynasty emperor's mentality of admiring the Central Plains culture. But after hearing Bai Lao's interpretation, it seems to contain this unknown deep meaning.
For a while, Wang Guan and the others had a feeling of sudden enlightenment. At the same time, they are becoming more and more confused. Mr. Zhu Da's origin sounds like a legendary story, should they believe it, or believe it, or believe it?
"Now you understand."
At this time, the shopkeeper Yue Da smiled and said: "This thing of mine is not a fake of the modern Mr. Zhu Da, but an imitation of the first generation of Mr. Zhu Da." It's three hundred years old, and it can be called an antique. ”
Suddenly, everyone fell silent, but they just looked at the eyes of the shopkeeper Yue with a little more pity.
"Xiaoyue, we know that you are sad and sad, but a fake is a fake after all, and there is no need to argue anymore."
After a while, Zhang Lao shook his head and said, "If it is other varieties of porcelain, maybe you have a point." But you deliberately ignore the fact that enamelled porcelain was confined to the court for the use of the royal family. Even if Mr. Zhu Da fired it, who could he sell it to at that time? ”
Besides, the first generation of Mr. Zhu Da was active in the Kangxi period, but the enamel porcelain was created in the late Kangxi period. In terms of time, although it is the right number, the signature of your plate is the year name of Yongzheng, which is an obvious flaw. ”
Qin Lao sighed lightly: "Everyone knows that the first generation of Mr. Zhu Da can imitate the porcelain of all dynasties before the Ming Dynasty, but it is absolutely impossible to imitate the things of the Qing Dynasty, and it is even more impossible to imitate the enamel porcelain, because it has no meaning at all." ”
"Indeed."
Bai Lao nodded in agreement: "The cost of firing enamel porcelain was very expensive in ancient times, and it was limited to the use of the Qing Imperial Palace, and there was no market at all in the people, and no officials and ordinary people dared to surpass it. As long as the first generation of Mr. Zhu Da is not stupid, he will never do such a thankless thing. ”
"Only like now, all kinds of colored materials are grabbed at will, and the cost is relatively low, but the forged things can be sold at sky-high prices, so that Mr. Zhu Da bothered to make fakes."
Zhang Lao's expression was serious, and after analyzing it from the aspect of human nature, he pointed to the enamel color material on the plate and said, "Xiaoyue, if you don't believe it, you can directly take the plate for testing." I'm sure the color material on it must have been freshly painted. ”
"If not, the enamel material is damaged, and the value of the plate is greatly reduced, wouldn't it be a loss to the lady and a soldier?"
The shopkeeper Yue's face was a little pale, but he still held on, and muttered: "I can take it for testing, but I can only drill the hole at the bottom to take the material......
Hearing this, everyone was completely speechless, and scolded Yue Da for being cunning in his heart, it was really Yue Buqun.
After all, Mr. Zhang said that the fetus on this plate is a plain embryo handed down from ancient times, and if it is taken for sampling and testing, it will definitely get the conclusion that the thing is genuine, so why waste time.
