Chapter 149: Ink Mold

"It turned out to be Yan Lao, he is an expert."

"I've heard that he has a piece of Yuan Mo hidden, and that thing is very precious now."

"Really? That's awesome, isn't it? It is worthy of being a master of our Ningdong City to play the four treasures of the study. ”

……

Xie Shi hesitated, and in his heart he didn't want Yan Zhi to get his hands on this piece of ink, but Yan Zhi had already made it clear that he wouldn't say anything even if he read it, and at the same time, because the other party was also a peer, and he was also a very prestigious senior who listened to the discussions of the people around him, he was worried that the other party would make trouble for him when they met again in the future after refusing, so he finally nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Yan Zhi nodded, put Fang Ming back on the table and picked it up, this is also one of the rules, after one person gets his hands on it, he can't hand it directly to another person, but put it on the table to show that he has not destroyed it, and at the same time, it can also avoid being handed directly to another person in case he falls to the ground and doesn't know whose responsibility it is.

The whole store fell silent, and everyone was silent, worried that it would affect Yan Zhi's identification.

Time passed minute by minute, Xie Shi stared at Yan Zhi deadly, he was ready, if the other party spoke, he would stop it immediately.

Fang Ming stood there calmly, and did not speak, he already knew the piece of ink in front of him, and it had no effect on him to +1+book~read+novel+ybdu Yu Yanzhi.

Half an hour later, Yan Zhicai gently put the ink in his hand back on the table, and stood aside without saying anything.

"Boss Xie, in fact, Elder Yan said that his judgment did not have the slightest impact on the whole thing, because Boss Fang had already said his appraisal results, and there was no way to change it, right?"

Seeing that Yan Zhi had finished his appraisal and retreated, someone around him spoke, and this person's statement was immediately supported by everyone, because everyone wanted to know Yan Zhi's appraisal results.

"Okay......"

Xie Shi thought for a moment and found that this was also reasonable, but he immediately added another sentence and said, "However, Elder Yan can only say the results of his appraisal, and at the same time, Fang Ming can't change his results." ”

Fang Ming secretly despised Xie Shi in his heart, which was clearly a gentleman's belly with a careful heart.

"No problem, I'm not going to change my mind."

Yan Zhi also nodded and said, "No problem, my result is the opposite of Boss Fang's, I think this ink is real, it is indeed the ink made by Cao Sugong in the Qing Dynasty." ”

Cao Sugong is one of the four famous ink makers of the Qing Dynasty, formerly known as Shengchen, called Sugong, and is a native of She County, Anhui Province. Once an official, because of unsatisfactory, he returned to his hometown to make ink, at the beginning was to borrow the famous Wu Shuda's ink model and ink name to open a shop, and later because the ink made is getting better and better, famous, and later moved the shop to Suzhou, Shanghai and other places, often to the powerful or celebrities to make ink, the influence is great, but also to get the reputation of "the world's ink pushes Shezhou, Shezhou's ink pushes Cao's".

The people around heard Yan Zhi say that it was ink made by Cao Sugong, and they immediately blew up the nest.

"Cao Sugong's? This is a masterpiece. ”

"It's amazing, if it's really Cao Sugong's, it's definitely worth a lot of money."

"What do you mean by 'if it's Cao Sugong's'? Elder Yan is an expert in this area, how could he be eye-catching? ”

……

When Xie Shi heard this, he was stunned for a moment:

"Could this really be Cao Sugong's ink? Missed it? The best thing is that it's true, and then I'll both win and miss it! ”

The piece of ink in front of him was actually fake, and it was bought from a person who specialized in making high antique ink, and many people identified it and said it was true, so it was used to kick the museum, but at this time, Yan Zhi hesitated as soon as he said Xie Shi.

"Boss Fang, I want to ask, why do you think this ink is fake?"

Yan Zhi frowned, but he had nothing to do with the matter in front of him, so when he spoke, his tone was relatively calm, and he looked like a negotiator, and in his opinion, Fang Ming was able to become famous in the collecting world of Ningdong City all of a sudden, he must have his own extraordinary, far from being as simple as others thought.

"Yes! Boss Fang, you should tell me, why do you think this is a piece of fake ink? ”

"Humph! Yes! Fang Ming, just talk about it, let us also listen to your opinion, but I think you are doomed, Elder Yan has already said that this is true, and you said that it is false. ”

Xie Shi also "forced" a sentence, the current situation is too favorable to him.

"Okay, then I'll give you my opinion."

Fang Ming nodded, first looked at Yan Zhi, then at Xie Shi, and finally pointed to the ink and said, "I have two reasons for concluding that this ink is one, the first is the pattern on it, and the second is the 'style' left on it. Let's start with the first one, which is the pattern on the ink. We all know that ink making is to use ink molds, and the so-called ink molds are molds used to press ink into shape. In the history of our country, it was very simple to make ink at the beginning, and it was only after the Han Dynasty that we knew how to use "pine smoke" and glue to fuse together to make round blocks. Later, there were famous ink makers Cheng Junfang and Fang Yulu, who were already able to make very beautiful ink molds. For example, Cheng Junfang once wrote "Cheng's Ink Garden", leaving 500 examples of "ink style", which are all finely carved molds. As for Fang Yulu, he left behind four volumes of "Fang's Ink Spectrum", and the ink style contained on it became a representative work of ink mold. ”

"The pattern on this square ink in front of me is Meilan Zhuju Siyou, and this is molded through ink."

"Fang Ming, what do you mean by saying this long list? You don't know how to explain it, that's why you say that, right? Want to fool us? ”

At the beginning, Xie Shi was still patient, but slowly he couldn't stand it anymore and directly interrupted Fang Ming's words.

The more Yan Zhi listened, the more serious the look on his face became, and he waved his hand at Xie Shi and said, "Don't talk, listen to Boss Fang." ”

Fang Ming nodded lightly, an expert was an expert after all, he knew that Yan Zhi had heard the taste.

We all know that calligraphy and painting at different times have different characteristics, and the flowers and plants on the ink mold are also a kind of calligraphy and painting, and of course they will have the characteristics of the times. If we study the characteristics of calligraphy and painting in the Ming and Qing dynasties, we will find that the calligraphy and painting of the Ming Dynasty paid special attention to the expression of strength and the pursuit of simple style. In the Qing Dynasty, under the influence of the pavilion style and the southern Anhui painting school, the ink mold also has a certain style of these two schools, for example, the ink mold of the Ming Dynasty is generally strong and powerful, as for the Qing Dynasty, it is more fine and soft. ”

Pavilion style refers to a style of calligraphy used in the pavilion and the imperial examination room, which is an official font, especially the regular script, which is characterized by being square, jet black, consistent in size, and quite neat.

As for the Southern Anhui School, it is also called the Xin'an School, or the Huangshan School (in fact, the name of the school is more chaotic in this period), referring to the group of painters in the Huizhou region in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties and the Huizhou painters who lived abroad at that time.

Yan Zhi's face changed, he immediately took a step forward, picked up the ink that he had just put back on the table, looked at it carefully, sighed after a while, nodded, and said, "Boss Fang, you are right, this is indeed not the ink of the Qing Dynasty." ”

Yan Zhi is a master in this area, Fang Ming has already said this, if he can't see it, he is really blind.

The four friends of Meilan bamboo chrysanthemum on the ink are indeed not fine and soft in the Qing Dynasty in terms of knife technique, on the contrary, they are majestic and powerful, especially those few bamboo leaves are more exposed, so that the identification of this piece of ink in front of you as the Qing Dynasty is a little untenable.

"Humph! Based on this alone, there is still no way to conclude that this is fake ink. ”

Unexpectedly, Fang Ming would be able to see this, Xie Shi was stunned for a moment, but immediately reacted again, in fact, he also raised this point with the masters he had consulted before, but in the end, he was not able to conclude that it was not the ink of the Qing Dynasty.

"What you said about the general style of the era is naturally right."

This has already been decided, and it is useless for Xie Shi to deny it, the key is that even if he admits it, it has nothing to do with the overall situation.

"Could it be that the people of the Qing Dynasty can't have the majestic and powerful style of the people of the Ming Dynasty?"

When the people around heard Xie Shi's words, they all nodded slightly, this statement is valid, this is because the Ming Dynasty was before the Qing Dynasty, so if someone in the Qing Dynasty imitated the style of the Ming Dynasty, it is completely possible, of course, if it is the other way around, it will not be true.

"That's right, it is! I think it makes sense. ”

"It is very possible for the style of the previous generation to come out, and it is impossible to do the opposite."

……

Zhou Yafang didn't say anything, but at this time, her brows furrowed slightly, she also felt that Fang Ming's statement was not unreasonable, but she couldn't conclude that the piece of ink in front of her was fake based on this alone-at most, it could only be regarded as "doubtful".

"Smack!"

Yan Zhi patted his head lightly, thinking to himself why he was so abnormal today, as soon as he heard Fang Ming's words, he immediately became calm. Xie Shi is not bad at all, there is no way to determine whether the piece of ink in front of him is fake based on this alone.

As soon as Xie Shi heard that someone was supporting him, he immediately became proud, and he also looked at Fang Ming proudly.

How could Fang Ming not understand what Xie Shi meant?

"As I just said, there are two aspects that can conclude that this piece of ink is fake, I just said one, and the second is the word left on it is the most important."
