"Inside.!"

At this time, Zhang Lao woke up suddenly and exclaimed: "By the way, there is also an internal paragraph." If the belly has not been peeled off, then the inside should be credible. ”

"Lao Zhang, don't be happy too early."

At the same time, Qin Lao shook his head and continued to pour cold water: "If this is an imitation, then at the beginning, there was a desire to counterfeit it. Then even if you have money in your belly, you don't have much credibility. ”

Hearing this, Wang Guan scratched his head and thought about it, then frowned and said, "Then just put aside the style and broken lines, and simply start with the materials of the guqin." Judging from the literary and historical data, the Jiaowei Qin is made of sycamore wood, which should be relatively easy to identify. By the way, the surface of the piano is made of sycamore wood, does anyone know what material the bottom of the piano is? ”

Generally speaking, the production of the guqin should be divided into two parts. One is the bottom and the other is the surface. The bottom is thinner and the surface is thicker. The two parts are made of different materials and then collaged together to form a complete guqin.

"The bottom plate of the guqin is mostly made of hard wood such as catalpa wood, catalpa wood, Tsubaki wood, and pear wood." At the right time, Zhang Lao hesitated a little and hesitated: "As for what is the material of the bottom of the Jiaowei qin, there is no record of this in the literary and historical materials. ”

"I know that the legendary famous piano is green, the surface of the piano is a sycamore, the bottom of the piano is a catalpa wood, and there is an inscription of Tongzi Hejing in the piano." Tian Lao groaned: "How can you say that Cai Yong is also a celebrity, and he is more particular about chopping the qin, and the bottom of the piano should be Zimu." ”

"No matter what the material is, can it be immortal for two thousand years?"

Qin Lao seemed to be addicted to pouring cold water, and continued to fight: "Even if it is well maintained, the wooden structure should undergo some changes." For example, rotten, crispy......"

This question, everyone really doesn't know how to argue. Because there has never been a 2,000-year-old guqin as evidence, everyone naturally doesn't know what kind of changes will happen to the materials of the guqin after 2,000 years.

"Tuk Tuk!"

At this moment, Wang Guan walked over and tapped lightly on the back of the piano, only to hear the sound was firm, and there was no sign of crispiness at all. All of a sudden. Everyone fell silent, and the frustration became even stronger.

After half a ring, Wang Guan spoke: "Old Qin, do you think this is an imitation of the Northern and Southern Dynasties?" However, the history of the Northern and Southern Dynasties is only two or three hundred years since the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty......"

"Didn't I just say that two or three hundred years is enough to change the dynasty." Qin Lao shook his head and said, "Wang Guan, it's not just you, we all hope that this is the real Jiaoweiqin." However, this needs to be ironclad. Don't be emotional. ”

"The identification of the guqin is very complicated, where is there any ironclad evidence. Whether it is the broken lines, the material, or the engraving, it is difficult to determine the age and authenticity of a piano alone, so they must be examined together in order to be roughly accurate. ”

At the same time, Zhang Lao said thoughtfully: "However, I do know a way. It may be able to prove whether this is a real scorched tail violin. ”

"What's the solution?" Yu Feibai hurriedly asked.

In an instant, several old people said in unison: "Timbre! ”

"Hehe, it's really a hero's vision." Boss Zhang laughed. He explained: "The timbre and sound quality of the piano are influenced by the aesthetic taste of the times, and each generation is different from one generation to another. Generally speaking, the sound of the Tang and Northern Song Qin is more macro and loose, the Southern Song Dynasty and Ming Qin are more quiet and beautiful, and the Yuan Qin is more clear and strong. ”

"Based on these different sound qualities, we can make a rough judgment about the age of the guqin." Speaking of this, Zhang Lao said a little solemnly: "Others can be imitated, but the voice is definitely not fake." ”

"Timbre?"

At this time, Yu Feibai was a little dumbfounded. couldn't help but shake his head and said, "This is a bit mysterious." You know, there is no uniform standard for the quality of sound. ”

"Who said no, there are nine virtues in sound, clear, round, even, and quiet. Manpower may be forced; But the four of thoroughness, moistness, strangeness, and antiquity are all out of heaven. Qin Lao retorted: "Legend has it that the Jiaowei Qin is played, and the timbre is wonderful and unparalleled. It is certainly possible to meet these nine standards, or even exceed them. ”

"Of course, the piano handed down from ancient times. It doesn't have to be that the older the sound, the better. There are many examples that show that the qin of the Tang and Song dynasties also had a mediocre sound for various reasons, and on the contrary, the qin of the later Ming and Qing dynasties also had an excellent sound. ”

Zhang Laoxian denied his previous remarks, and immediately turned around: "But Jiao Weiqin is different, and it can be recited by the world, definitely not because Cai Yong is famous." The ancient literati and celebrities were not so hypocritical, and if Jiaowei was not a good qin, they would definitely not go against their will to praise. ”

"It's like a famous piano such as Jiuxiao Huanpei, Spring Thunder, Taigu Relic, and Great Sage Relic. It is not because of their age that they are called famous pianos, but because their timbre has been recognized by the world, so they have their current status. ”

Tian Lao also followed and said: "So let's put aside a lot of controversy and listen to the timbre of this piano first." If the timbre is beautiful and beautiful, then slowly evaluate its origin. If the timbre is mediocre, then there is no need to fight, and it is not bad to put it in the study as a souvenir when you go back to it. ”

Everyone understands what Tian Lao means, if the sound of this guqin is mediocre, it has no value, and it is simply used as an ornamental display. Dig a little deeper, to put it mildly, even if it can be verified that this is the real Jiaoweiqin in the future, everyone will never admit it.

After all, in everyone's impression, the timbre of the Jiaowei Qin should be perfect, how can it be mediocre? Even if this is the real thing, it's just that in the process of being handed down, the body of the instrument was damaged, so it can no longer play a beautiful rhythm.

In this regard, everyone would rather believe that this is a fake qin, rather than let the mediocre real qin destroy the legendary myth that took 2,000 years to build, and do not want to shake the status of the four famous pianos in the history of Chinese culture.

This is human nature, for things that cannot be touched, the world is always full of illusions and all kinds of praise. But one day, everyone found that the things that were held up to the altar by themselves were not as beautiful as they imagined. Then at the same time of disillusionment, that thing is estimated to be abandoned by everyone.

"If you want to test the tone, you have to fix the piano."

At this time, Yu Feibai scratched his head and said, "Elder Zhang, Elder Qin, do you know how to repair the piano?" ”

"No!" Zhang Lao and the others shook their heads one after another, letting them judge the guqin taste, and they could say the truth. But if you really want to repair it, no one dares to take this job. There is a specialization in the art industry, and that is a universal truth.

"We don't understand, but someone is proficient." Qin Lao smiled and said, "If you let those violin cultivators know that there is this famous qin that may be Jiaowei, you don't need to invite them at all, and they will fly over." ”

"Of course."

Zhang Laoshen thought so, and then said: "Wang Guan, if you have no opinion, I will call someone to come over." ”

"Uh......"

Wang Guan hesitated, and before he could respond, several old people next to him had already begun to discuss who to call.

"If you want to talk about the restoration of the guqin, it must be the master Shi of the Yushan Qin School who has superb craftsmanship." Tian Lao first said: "He himself is a master of the qin, and he is the authentic inheritor of the Yushan Qin School, and he can be a master of the qin." ”

"Master Shi's craftsmanship is definitely good, but Master Zhao of the Lingnan Qin School is more experienced......

"If you want to say that you have a lot of experience, Master Liu of the Guangling faction is even more powerful. He once restored the Ming Dynasty famous qin ice spring, completely using retro technology, so that the guqin is brand new at the same time, but also maintain the original quaint atmosphere. ”

"Eh, it's a very normal thing to repair the ancients. To repair the guqin, the most important thing is the smooth sound quality. To put it bluntly, it is to use accessories such as Yueshan, Chenglu, Zhenchi strips, crown angles, etc., to give full play to the timbre of the guqin. ”

Bai Lao muttered: "I know a connoisseur who specializes in making these accessories......

"It's too out-of-the-way, it's too out-of-the-way." Qin Lao rubbed the two walnuts in his palm, shook his head and said, "Cultivating the piano should pay attention to a whole, and you can't generalize the whole thing......

Just when several old people were discussing fiercely, Yu Feibai touched Wang Guan's arm and said in a low voice: "It seems that Miss Qinyue is a violinist and should also know how to repair the piano, why don't you propose to let her try it." ”

"At this time, where is our turn to speak." Wang Guan smiled bitterly and gestured, "Or, you go and propose?" ”

"Forget it, I don't want to scold." Yu Feibai hurriedly shook his head.

Wang Guan smiled lightly, in fact, he didn't blame a few old people for making their own decisions and ignoring themselves. Because he knew that several old-timers were enthusiastic and eager to confirm the origin of this guqin. The reason why they are arguing endlessly now is that they want to make the guqin perfect, so they actively propose the most powerful qin repair experts in their minds.

It's just that there are too many people, and it is inevitable that there will be disagreement and each has its own opinions. After arguing for a long time, Tian Lao suddenly turned around and said, "Lao Zhang, why don't you speak, do you also have different opinions?" ”

"You're done arguing, aren't you?" At this time, Zhang Lao said slowly: "It's not that I have different opinions, but I know your careful thinking and fancy intestines." ”

"What a little thought, fancy intestines." Bai Lao said dissatisfiedly: "Zhang Dacang, don't slander people casually." ”

"Have I slandered you?" Zhang Lao glared and said: "Look at the people you mentioned, what Yushan Qin School, Guangling Qin School, Lingnan Qin School...... It's all southern. And most of the really skilled and experienced piano repair experts are in the Palace Museum in Beijing, why haven't you mentioned it. ”

In an instant, Qin Lao and the others stopped talking, and they all lowered their heads to drink tea, a little embarrassed.

"Why don't you squeak, if you don't squeak, it means that you have a ghost in your heart." Zhang Lao said angrily: "It's a shame that you are also an old senior, and you still have such a strong selfishness, and you are not afraid of junior jokes." ”

"What selfishness?" Yu Feibai was a little inexplicable.

Wang Guan shook his head slightly, and whispered: "Don't care, listen to what Elder Zhang says." (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
