Chapter Ninety-Seven: Zi Oka Yu
After Shen Hao's brief introduction, President Nanyang's face changed on the spot, and many presidents from other places were gloating at President Nanyang.
It is not surprising that there is ancient jade when comparing jade, and there are also high-grade ancient jade in the previous sessions, as long as it is jade, whether it is new jade or ancient jade, you can participate in the competition, but the heaviest evaluation of ancient jade is still jade, carving and cultural significance, and the antique value of ancient jade will be placed at the end.
"This young man is quite modest, if this sheep fat jade horse is really the work of Master Zigang, it is worth at least eight million, Nanyang is dangerous!"
Zheng Kaida whispered to Li Yang and Sima Lin, Li Yang wanted to use his special ability to observe this sheep fat jade horse at this time, but unfortunately the distance was too far, exceeding the observation range of ten meters.
Sima Lin nodded and said: "Yes, the most important thing is the carving, if this ancient jade is really the work of Master Zigang, I am afraid that this championship will fall into the hands of the people of Zhengzhou today!" ”
Wu Xiaoli looked at Sima Lin's lips and moved, wanting to explain that Shen Hao's identity finally gave up.
"Zhengzhou's old Deng is a very strict person, and he is very sure to dare to let such a young man take the stage!"
Zhang Wei shook his head lightly, anyway, he completely lost confidence in the champion, and it is better to let the champion fall into the hands of Zhengzhou than in the hands of Nanyang people, Nanyang has won the championship of five consecutive jade competitions, and has long made the presidents of local branches full of resentment, and Zhang Wei is no exception.
On the rostrum, several experts had already identified this ancient jade, and Shen Hao had already raised his head to look at the rostrum, with a proud look on his face, and his eyes were staring straight at Li Yang and them.
The identification of this ancient jade has the longest time, the most important thing is to identify whether this ancient jade is the handwriting of Master Lu Zigang, if it is really made by Master Lu Zigang, even if the people of Nanyang still have a back hand, they don't need to take it out, and it will not be comparable to this sheep fat jade horse.
The biggest reason why everyone thinks so is still in Lu Zigang.
Lu Zigang is a native of Jiajing and Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, he learned jade carving skills in Suzhou since he was a child, and after becoming famous, he went up to the emperor and prince, down to the ordinary business gentry, all of whom sought after his works, and Lu Zigang's reputation in the jade world could even exceed Tang Bohu's reputation in the calligraphy and painting industry.
The handicraft industry in the Ming Dynasty was very strict and had a strict hierarchy, even in the late Ming Dynasty, when the 'master system' had been deposed. In this case, Lu Zigang, a craftsman engaged in humble jade carving, can be regarded as a guest of honor by the literati, and his superb and ingenious jade cutting skills can be seen.
According to legend, Lu Zigang likes to add his name to his own works, Emperor Wanli once ordered Lu Zigang to carve a jade pot for him, but he was not allowed to pay the money, Lu Zigang with his feel and internal engraving skills, actually put the name cleverly in the spout of the jade pot, which shows his boldness.
But it was this boldness that killed him, Lu Zigang once engraved his name on the dragon's head, and finally angered the emperor and was beheaded, and Lu Zigang's proud carving technique and his 'Kunwu knife' that can be said to be unprecedented and unprecedented, have also been lost.
Nowadays, in the homes of many great sculptors in Suzhou, there are still statues of Lu Zigang, Lu Zigang is respected as the ancestor by many sculptors in Suzhou and Yang, and the four famous masters are now very famous, but they are far from the ancestors.
Because Lu Zigang's technique is so amazing, it is difficult for future generations to imitate it, and there are very few surviving people, so many people have already decided that if this jade is really Zigang jade, then this championship definitely belongs to Zhengzhou people.
Several experts watched it for more than ten minutes, and finally nodded together, and all the presidents below began to smile on their faces, only Chairman Nanyang's face was the most ugly.
"Yes, this is a very good piece of Zigang jade, the carving is very in line with the characteristics of Master Zigang, and there is the name of Master Zigang in the bright place, and we unanimously believe that this is a genuine product!"
An expert stood up and said to everyone with a sigh that this kind of gathering of the Henan Jade Association has been done for more than ten years, and it is the first time that Zigangyu has appeared.
The experts have already said this, there is a work of the master of the carving master, Master Zigang, and the jade quality is still of excellent mutton fat jade, there is basically no need to continue to compare the jade, unless anyone thinks that they have a better work in their hands than the ancestor carving.
"Thank you for the compliment, but for the sake of fairness, I would like to ask another ancient jade expert to come up and verify it, and I also ask all the masters to agree to my little request!"
Shen Hao's face flashed with pride, and he bowed deeply again, and his eyes looked at Li Yang when he bent down.
Li Yang and Wu Xiaoli felt bad at the same time, the audience was all members of the Jade Association, how could there be any ancient jade experts, this Shen Hao was most likely referring to Li Yang.
Several experts glanced at each other, and finally the expert who spoke before asked Shen Hao, "Young man, who are you talking about?" ”
Shen Hao raised his head slightly, the corners of his mouth quietly raised, and said: "It's Mr. Li Yang, who won the jade carving championship work yesterday, Mr. Li Yang is a master who can see through the fake ancient jade of 'Knock Lord' at a glance!" ”
Sure enough, this Shen Hao pointed the finger at Li Yang, because of yesterday's performance, most of the people on the scene knew and knew Li Yang, as soon as Shen Hao finished speaking, many eyes around Li Yang focused on him.
"Is that him?"
Several experts were stunned for a moment, Li Yang gave everyone a deep impression yesterday, Shen Hao mentioned that everyone thought of that young man, but his age was too young, and no one believed him if he was an ancient jade expert.
However, Shen Hao said that this Li Yang is a person who can see through the fraud of 'Knock Lord' at a glance, although several experts doubted it, they didn't say anything, even they didn't dare to say that they could see the fraud of 'Knock Lord' at a glance, this level of fraud is one of the most troublesome fraud methods in the ancient jade world.
Sima Lin and Zheng Kaida, who had a certain understanding of Li Yang, couldn't help but nodded, Li Yang was the most talented person who had been praised by He Lao, and they were not surprised to say that Li Yang had really become an expert in ancient jade.
Zhang Wei and Gu Lao looked at Li Yang blankly, Li Yang didn't have much time to get in touch with antiques, when did he become an expert in ancient jade.
"Okay, I'll invite this expert Li to come up and have a look!"
Several experts made a decision after deliberating for a while, but their good impression of Shen Hao was also gone. They have verified the authenticity of things, and at this time he called a young man to come up and simply slapped them in the face, but they are not easy to refuse in front of everyone, and if they refuse, they will seem to be empty-hearted.
Under the gaze of everyone, Li Yang reluctantly walked towards the rostrum, this Shen Hao was definitely deliberately aimed at himself, Li Yang also thought about refusing to go on stage, but if he really wanted to refuse, he didn't know how many tricks were waiting for him in this insidious, it was better to go up and take a look first, anyway, several experts said it was true, even if he couldn't tell the truth or falsehood, it didn't matter if it was true.
"Mr. Li, we meet again, I don't know what you think of this work of Master Zigang!"
Seeing Li Yang coming up, the smile on the corner of Shen Hao's mouth became even stronger, last time he heard what Li Yang said about the Nanyang party, he immediately started to prepare, this time he spent a lot of money to buy this piece of Zigang jade just to deal with Li Yang, where he fell, he had to get up again, as for the so-called jade comparison activity of the Jade Association, he didn't pay attention to it at all.
"It's a nice thing!"
Li Yang took a closer look at the Zigang jade, and his performance was indeed very in line with the characteristics of Master Zigang's works, with the typical artistic characteristics of Master Zigang's 'emptiness, floating, and fineness'.
Li Yang turned around, and naturally activated his special ability, Li Yang's own eyesight could not distinguish the real from the fake at all, and he had long been accustomed to using special abilities to identify antiques.
The next moment, Li Yang stayed there gently, this piece of Zigang jade is very good, but unfortunately there is only a layer of pale yellow aperture on the surface, and this aperture proves that the formation time of this jade is definitely not more than sixty years, that is to say, the Zigang jade that Shen Hao took out is also a fake.
However, this jade is indeed a good mutton fat jade, much stronger than the pair of luminous cups last time.
Under the intuitive three-dimensional diagram, Li Yang immediately found some other subtle problems, although the carving is exquisite, but there is still a little distance from the real Zigang jade, and the lines on the body of the jade horse have not yet reached the realm of Zigang jade, which is commensurate with the virtual and the real, and the density is beneficial.
There is also a little difference between it and the real Zigang jade in the detailed place, but these differences are difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, unless they are identified with a high-powered magnifying glass, ordinary magnifying glasses can't even see these differences, and Li Yang would not have found this difference if he hadn't made an intuitive three-dimensional observation.
The most critical point is that the person who made this fake Zigang jade seems to have the same problem as Master Zigang, and he also left his name behind, and carved four thin small characters in the horse's mouth - Zhou Ye imitated.
Li Yang's face was a little strange, he lowered his head and looked carefully at the horse's mouth, and only at a certain angle could he use his eyes to see the traces of words inside.
Shen Hao looked at Li Yang proudly, Shen Hao didn't care about this jade competition, he didn't even care about this high-priced Zigang jade, as long as Li Yang admitted that it was true, he would use this thing to hit Li Yang and avenge the humiliation that day.
"Mr. Li, how are you looking?"
The corners of Shen Hao's eyebrows jumped, he raised his head and asked Li Yang, and out of the corner of his eyes, he also looked at Wu Xiaoli under the stage, this piece of Zigang jade, he even planned to use it as a dowry to propose to Wu Xiaoli to prove his heart for her.
"Mr. Shen, to be honest, don't be angry, your thing, the level of imitation is really too high, I was almost blinded, if it weren't for better luck, today's champion would be yours!"
Li Yang smiled and shook his head, and said slowly, as soon as his words fell, the whole venue became noisy, there was a microphone on the rostrum, and Li Yang's words were clearly transmitted to every corner of the conference room.
