"Expert Wu, we are CCTV reporters, can I interview you?"

"I am a correspondent of the Beijing News, and Expert Wu may ask what dynasty this jade is from. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"Are you the owner of this dragon-patterned jade, I don't know where you got this rare jade, can you reveal it."

“……”

The atmosphere at the treasure appraisal conference was hot, Wu Minglei and the bearer of the dragon pattern jade were surrounded by a group of reporters, and their old faces were smiling like chrysanthemums.

"Fellow journalists, if you want to interview one by one, I will answer any questions you have one by one." Wu Minglei was in high spirits, and his whole person seemed to be beaten with chicken blood, and he was interviewed by the TV station with a red face.

"After my identification, this is a piece of jade from the Western Han Dynasty, the material is the best Hetian jade, and the dragon pattern is carved on it to symbolize imperial power. I speculate that this piece of jade is likely from the Western Han royal family, as a sacrifice to the heavens. ”

"In recent years, in the antique jade market, the price of ancient jade has always been high, and this piece of jade can be said to be a rare treasure, and the conservative estimate should be more than 13 million."

Jade is quite common among Chinese jade species and is very famous.

The most famous piece of jade in history is He's bi.

According to the record of "Han Feizi", during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there was a master of jade named Bian He, who found a piece of fine jade in the mountains and dedicated him to the king of Chu. But the king of Chu thought he was lying, and sentenced him to have his feet cut off. Later, after three generations of Chu kings, Bian He finally dedicated this piece of jade to King Chu Wen. King Chu Wen ordered someone to cut open this piece of jade, and decisively obtained the treasure jade. So this piece of jade was named after Bian He and named it He's Bi.

In the Warring States Period, He's Bi returned to Zhao. When the king of Qin found out, he sent people to exchange fifteen cities for this piece of jade. Due to the great power of Qin, Zhao did not dare to offend, so Lin Xiangru took He's Bi to Qin State, which led to the story of "returning to Zhao" later.

However, later the Qin State unified the six countries, and in the end, this piece of Heshi Bi still fell into the hands of the King of Qin.

In the ninth year of the reign of King Qin, this piece of He's bi was carved into the imperial seal, and after Liu Bang destroyed Qin and won the world, Ziying dedicated the imperial seal to Liu Bang and became the "Han Dynasty National Seal".

Although this piece of dragon pattern jade is not as famous as He's Bi, it has special historical and cultural value, but it is also priceless and can be said to be rare.

It's just that Qin Fan observed this piece of dragon pattern jade, but he felt as if something was wrong.

"Xiao Fan, what do you think of the quality of this piece of jade, is it an object that opens the door wide?" Teacher Ma didn't know when he came to Qin Fan's side, as if he wanted to test his eyesight, and said casually.

"This ...... Teacher Ma, I can't say it well. But I always felt that something was wrong with this jade, but I said what was wrong. Probably just my delusion. ”

Qin Fan honestly said his opinion. Because it was too far away, he couldn't use the ability of the Golden Treasure Pupil to identify this ancient jade wall, so he could only rely on his intuition.

"Your instinct is right, the only flaw in this jade is that it is too perfect." Teacher Ma squinted, he also thought that there was no flaw in this piece of dragon pattern jade when he first saw it, but the more he looked at it, the more he felt that it was wrong.

"Too perfect?"

"Think about it, if this piece of jade is really something from the Western Han Dynasty, how can it be flawless after being buried in the ground for so many years. And the tuqin on it is also a bit unnatural, which makes people feel weird.

To judge the authenticity of the ancient jade, the main thing is to look at the color on the ancient jade.

The so-called color color refers to the phenomenon that the natural water or minerals of jade erode the jade body in the environment for a long time when it is in contact with water, soil and other substances, causing the color of the jade to change in part or as a whole.

The color is usually an important identification criterion for ancient jade.

Like the unearthed ancient jade, the color of Qin generally has white mist water Qin, yellow soil Qin, black mercury Qin, green copper Qin, and black purple corpse Qin.

In particular, the ancient jade buried in the old grave or tomb all the year round will form dark purple marks when it is impregnated by the corpse, that is, the corpse. There are even some jade artifacts that appear on the bloodstain, that is, the deceased was killed alive by the murder weapon before his death, and the blood that flowed out soaked into the jade, forming a bright red bloodstain.

And the Tuqin on this piece of dragon pattern jade looks a little new, not like it was formed after being buried in the soil for thousands of years.

"Is there really something wrong with this jade?"

What really made Mr. Ma suspicious was the origin of the jade, although the bearer said that he had bought it from a jade merchant, but his words were ominous and seemed to be hiding something.

If this piece of jade is really a Western Han thing, then the treasure bearer probably bought it from a tomb robber.

But even if he really bought it from a tomb robber, he would definitely not tell it, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

Although the national law stipulates that as long as the unearthed cultural relics must be handed over to the state, private individuals are not allowed to auction and trade, but this boundary is very blurred.

For example, there is generally no way to prove whether the unearthed jade and ceramics are unearthed cultural relics or inherited antiques.

"It's really hard to say, I just think this jade is too flawless to make people have to doubt."

What they didn't know was that this piece of jade was not owned by the treasure bearer at all, but was bought by Wu Minglei from a group of tomb robbers a few months ago.

The reason why Wu Minglei pretended to let people take this piece of jade to the treasure appraisal conference for him to identify was to improve his popularity. Second, it is also to hype up this piece of jade and seek benefits for himself.

And this treasure bearer is actually a distant relative of Wu Minglei, who takes money to do things.

As for this piece of jade, Wu Minglei has identified it many times after buying it, and there is no flaw on the surface.

His wishful thinking rang out, and he deceived everyone. It's just that he didn't expect that the development of things was a little beyond his expectations.

"This piece of dragon pattern jade is rare in the world, so let's take a look at it together. Expert Qin, what do you think? ”

Wu Minglei bit the word "expert" very hard, deliberately wanted to show off in front of Qin Fan, and looked at Qin Fan with a smug face and said.

"In that case, I'll share my opinion. If you say something wrong, please advise the teacher. ”

Wu Minglei just wanted to stimulate Qin Fan, but he didn't expect this kid to come over unceremoniously and pick up this piece of dragon pattern jade, and began to identify it with a serious face.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, a flash of light flashed in Qin Fan's eyes, and his gaze was fixed on this priceless dragon pattern jade.

At this time, in Qin Fan's field of vision, this piece of jade was penetrated by his gaze, and a hazy white light like a thin veil bloomed.

The expression on Qin Fan's face was obviously stunned for a moment, according to his experience, if this piece of jade was really a high ancient jade from the Western Han Dynasty, but the treasure light on it should be very strong.

In other words, this dragon-patterned jade is a fake carved from new jade, and it is not a high ancient jade at all.

"Hmph, pretend. I'm going to see what this kid can see. Wu Minglei was disdainful in his heart, he was an expert in jade identification, and even he couldn't find any flaws, and he didn't believe that Qin Fan could see anything greasy.

"Xiaofan, you just tell me your opinion, even if it's wrong, it doesn't matter. Let's take a look at the experts. ”

Teacher Ma noticed Qin Fan's expression, thought that he had seen some flaw, and spoke.

"Then I'll tell you what I think. In my opinion, it is very likely that this piece of jade is a new piece of jade, which has been aged and passed off as Gao Gu jade. ”

"No way, you're just talking! What evidence do you have. ”

As soon as Qin Fan's words came out, Wu Minglei immediately exploded, he had been playing with this piece of jade in his hand for several months, and even if he was killed, he didn't believe that this was a fake new jade.

"Expert Wu is right, young people can eat things indiscriminately, but they can't talk nonsense. What evidence do you have to prove that this piece of jade is worn? ”

The nominal holder of this piece of jade also looked a little unpleasant when he heard this, and glared at Qin Fan with an unkind expression.

"I'm just putting forward my own opinion, I don't know why Mr. Wu is so nervous." Qin Fan felt that Wu Minglei's reaction seemed a little strange, this piece of jade was not his, even if it was fake, it didn't have much to do with him, it couldn't be so simple.

Qin Fan didn't know that this piece of dragon pattern jade was really Wu Minglei's. And he bought it from a tomb robber gang for millions.

"Ahem, I'm nervous, you're wrong." Wu Minglei snorted from his nostrils, if people knew that this piece of jade was actually his, then his reputation in the circle would be ruined.

"This piece of jade looks flawless, but if you look closely at it for a long time, you will feel that the color on it is a little unnatural."

Color?

Hearing this, the eyes of several experts who had studied Gao Guyu fell on the color of this dragon-patterned jade, and their faces couldn't help but become strange.

"All ancient jade that has been buried in the soil for a long time will have the phenomenon of white qin, which is because of the serious whitening caused by the water and soil environment. As a result, it presents chicken bone white and ivory white. The jade that has not been in the soil for a long time has a slightly weaker albino and its surface layer is as thin as a cloud of smoke. ”

"And such a large piece of jade, buried in the ground for a long time, will generally produce more or less cracks. Even if you can't see it on the surface, you should be able to see the ice cracks on it with a magnifying glass. ”

Wu Minglei chuckled in his heart, took out a magnifying glass from his body and observed it for a long time. This piece of jade is crystal clear throughout, and there is not even a trace of tiny ice cracks on it.

"In fact, the means of counterfeiting this jade are very superb, but its biggest flaw is that it is too flawless. A piece of jade buried in the ground for more than 2,000 years could not have been preserved so well. And its color is also a bit weird, if you still don't believe it, you can go to a special testing agency to do carbon 14 dating. ”

After listening to Qin Fan's appraisal results, Wu Minglei was like a thunderbolt from the sky, only to feel that the sky was spinning for a while, and then the whole person sat down on the ground.
