As soon as he picked up the Buddha statue, Fang Ming knew that this was a good thing, because Pixiu suddenly appeared, and according to the form that Pixiu showed, he knew that its price was about 10 million, if he encountered this Buddha statue in other places, if the price was not high, Fang Ming would take it down immediately, this was clearly a leak!

But the situation is different now.

"Fang Ming, what do you see?"

Summer is an anxious person, and after waiting for a while, he can't help but speak.

Fang Ming put the Buddha statue back on the table, he was embarrassed: it was impossible for him to directly say that this Buddha statue was worth 10 million, so it would be over, now it was not picking up leaks, but appraisal, so it was really a reason, especially in front of Wu Yong and Xia Xia The two masters were even more so, without saying a reason, it was impossible to convince them.

"Fang Ming, what do you say, hesitate or something?"

Wu Yong also noticed that Fang Ming's expression was a little hesitant, knowing that he must have seen something, but he might not be sure, so he was like this.

"Hey, Old Wu, if you are willing to sell me this Buddha statue, I will pay immediately."

Fang Ming wasn't joking, but what he said was true.

"Get out! You know it's impossible, what's the matter, do you think it's a good thing? ”

Wu Yong heard the meaning from Fang Ming's words.

"Well, yes, I'm a little unsure, but in my opinion it should be a good thing, and from the point of view of picking up leaks, if I came across something like this out there, I would definitely make a move."

Fang Ming's brows furrowed, and as he spoke, he vigorously recalled the information he had seen related to the Buddha statue, to see if he could correspond to the Buddha statue in front of him.

"Well, in other words, you are relatively sure that this Buddha statue is a good thing?"

Wu Yong is also a person in the circle, as soon as he heard it, he understood what Fang Ming meant that he was sure but not very sure, if it was from the perspective of doing business, this was undoubtedly already a shot, after all, if you want to pick up the leak, then there must be a risk, if you don't take the risk, how can there be a leak?

"Yes, that's what I meant."

Fang Ming nodded, because he still hadn't been able to find one hundred percent evidence to prove it

persuaded Wu Yong and Xiaxia, so he could only say so.

"Oh? What's your point of view? What era of Buddha do you think this is? By the way, Fang Ming, I want to ask a question, I think this Buddha statue may be old, what do you think? ”

Xia knew that Fang Ming must have already had a conclusion in his heart, so he said this, but he wanted to see and hear what era Fang Ming thought this was a Buddha statue in which era.

Shaking his head gently, Fang Ming said, "This...... I don't think it's old. ”

Fang Ming knew why he had such thoughts in summer. The Buddha statue in front of you is carved in stone, because the Buddha statue carved in stone often means that the age is relatively old, and most of the Buddha statues that have been handed down are often carved in stone, which is already recognized, and it is precisely because of this that the forgers in the Buddha statues often choose the stone carved Buddha statues as objects.

"Stone carved Buddha statues, there are generally several ways, one is to brush the stone statue with sulfuric acid, so that the surface of the stone statue can be immediately corroded off a layer, it seems that there is already a 'ancient' feeling, and then in order to increase its natural characteristics, it will be placed outdoors to accept the baptism of wind and rain, and there will be a sense of antiquity that is difficult to distinguish over time. The second is to mix alum and loess with glue and brush it on the stone statue, so that the surface of the Buddha statue will appear a layer of artificial corrosion and rust color, and there is a way to boil water with alum and tea leaves, and then put the stone statue into it to cook together, plus smoke with fire, you can make it old. ”

"These methods may be used individually, but they may also be used together, especially when used by master counterfeiters, it is more likely to be fake."

As the so-called connoisseur reaches out, he knows if there is one.

As soon as Wu Yong and Xia heard Fang Ming say this, they knew that Fang Ming had enough understanding of identification. In fact, many masters of identification are actually masters of counterfeiting, even if they are not masters of counterfeiting, they must have a deep understanding of the methods of counterfeiting, and only in this way can they really identify some high-quality antiques.

You must know that in the antique industry, it is really possible for the things made by the masters of counterfeiting to be genuine, and in many cases, even the masters may not be able to identify them.

"Oh? So how can you be sure that this must not be a fake? ”

Summer looked at Fang Ming with interest.

The Buddha statue in front of you is very old, and when you identify it, you must first judge whether it is old, if it is, then naturally there is nothing to say, if not, you need to enter

One step to identify which dynasty this belongs to.

"The old appearance of the stone statue is actually called rust, and the real rust is naturally formed over the course of a long time. Definitely won't drop. Generally speaking, the easiest way is to use alkaline water, boiled and used to brush the stone statue, if the fake rust color will fall off, if it is real, then it will not. Actually, there is a better way to tell if this is old or not. ”

Fang Ming said, pressing his fingers on the Buddha statue, and then said: "This is called stone rust, this kind of rust is natural, very special, there is no way to fake it." ”

Stone rust is a rust-colored form that will appear in stone carvings, the shape is like a tree branch, and the rust color is whitish, which is simply not fake.

Fang Ming picked up the strong light mobile phone flashlight and hit the stone statue in front of him, and the stone rust was more obvious.

"This thing slowly appears within the stone over time, and there's enough time for it to do it, even the most powerful forgers can't do it."

It was precisely because of this that Fang Ming believed so much that the Buddha statue in front of him was real.

"Well, yes, I agree with Fang Ming in this regard, the Buddha statue in front of me is real, and it is relatively old."

Wu Yong nodded, he had also discovered the stone rust before, although it was not very obvious, but it really existed, so he also believed that this Buddha statue was real.

Xia nodded lightly, what he said before was actually an "exam" for Fang Ming, and now Fang Ming was able to find this question at a glance, which showed that he really had an eye.

"So in terms of generation, what era do you think this is?"

Fang Ming thought about it, although he was not completely sure, he still decided to say his opinion:

"I think this should be a Buddha statue of Ming."

Wu Yong's eyebrows raised and said, "Oh? Why? ”

No matter what kind of antique it is, the most important thing is to break the dynasty, and this is especially true of Buddha statues. This is mainly because it is difficult to have a clear record of which person carved the Buddha statue in many cases, because the Buddha statue is often carved by the believers or the temple itself, and it is not too important to find which person's hand it is from, which leads to the identification of the Buddha statue in which the "author" is difficult to determine, and the value of the identification of a Buddha statue is often determined from its age and the carver itself. Therefore, the breaking of the generation is

Very important thing.

Since it can be judged from the stone rust that this is a real ancient Buddha statue, the remaining thing is to determine its age.

Fang Ming opened his mouth and said that the Buddha statue in front of him was clear, which meant that he had a certain grasp and basis in his heart, and he wanted to hear what Fang Ming's opinion was now.

"Well, yes, Fang Ming, why do you think so?"

Wu Yong also looked at Fang Ming very curiously, this Buddha statue had been in his hand for a long time, studying and studying, but he couldn't finally determine what era it was, although Fang Ming seemed to be a little hesitant now, but it seemed that he still had a great grasp.

"I judged by the characteristics of the Buddha statue. After the Ming Dynasty, the rule of the Han nationality was restored, and in order to restore the rule, some measures conducive to the development of agricultural production were taken, and the economy was quickly restored and developed, and the recovery of the economy promoted the recovery and development of art, which is very important. After the economy was restored and developed, it was natural that culture would develop, and since the minority who ruled only before the Ming Dynasty was in power, the theory of restoring the Han nationality became an inevitable choice. It is precisely because of these two reasons that Buddhism has also been restored and developed to a certain extent, and the restoration and development of Buddhism has brought about the restoration and development of Buddha art, which is related to such specific social and economic conditions and formed the characteristics of the Buddha statues of the Ming Dynasty themselves......"

Fang Ming didn't directly talk about the reason why he broke the Buddha statue in front of him, but talked about the economic and social environment at that time, which made Sun Rong a little strange, so she couldn't help but said, "This...... Fang Ming, why do you say this? ”

Ke Liu was also confused, didn't he say that it was identified? It's okay to just say it, but also to the socio-economic aspect?

"Huh!" Wu Yong shook his head with a smile and said, "Antiques belong to the category of artworks, of course, this is related to the economic level, how can you play any art without money?" Fang Ming said this in order to explain the basis of the judgment he said next, or there would be no theoretical basis Of course, this is also to adapt to our kind of academy, if it is just for you, then there is no need to say this. ”
