"Hmm."

Fang Ming nodded, and then said a little embarrassedly, "This...... I looked at the materials before, including some research papers and so on, and they all did this, so I said this, anyway, it is not difficult for me to say this. ”

These things were indeed not difficult for Fang Ming at all, with his current extraordinary memory, he could remember them after reading them once, and he could say them casually.

Glaring at Fang Ming fiercely, Xia Xia said, "Fang Ming, what do you mean by this?" Do you mean that we shouldn't study antiques in this way? ”

"That's right, Fang Ming, are you itching?"

Wu Yong also cooperated with the summer to criticize Fang Ming fiercely.

"Hahaha!"

Fang Ming knew that they were joking with him, so he also played haha.

"Humph! Grandpa Wu, I said that you do have this problem, no matter what it is, it must be analyzed from the perspective of the economy, why do you have to get something with a social background, isn't this good? I think that's too necessary, right? ”

Listening to Sun Rong's words, Wu Yong and Xia couldn't help but blush, because such a thing does exist.

"Heh, this...... This thing does exist. ”

Wu Yong wanted to oppose it, but as he said, this is the truth, and he can't deny it if he wants to.

"Actually, it's not that our antique circle is like this, but all of them are like this, as long as it's an article writer and a papermaker, which one is not like this?"

Summer's face also turned red like Wu Yong, because he had written a lot of such papers himself! And at the beginning, it was all started with economic, social and cultural backgrounds, etc., which had already formed a routine, so I didn't pay much attention to it usually, but now it was Fang Ming, and then Sun Rong criticized it very unceremoniously, and he also found that this problem did exist, and it seemed to be very serious.

"Well, in such a situation, there is no good way. After all, that's what society is. ”

Wu Yong shook his head, after all, people in society, unless they don't publish papers in the face of such an environment, there is really no way. Is it okay not to publish papers? Of course not, after all, the thesis is linked to the title and the like, unless it is really not in the system, or there is really no way

Target.

"Let's not talk about it, hey, I'm still interested in this Buddha statue."

Ke Liu didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, that would only make Wu Yong and Xia Xia even more embarrassed, so he immediately pulled the topic back to the Buddha statue in front of him.

Fang Ming also understands it:

"In fact, the Buddha statues of the Ming Dynasty have their own characteristics, first of all, the face of the Buddha statues at this time has its own special characteristics, the forehead is relatively wide, and the cheeks are relatively short, and there is a more prominent feature that the top of the head has beads like a white phase. As for the clothing of the Buddha statues, most of them are not much different from people in daily life, but there is a characteristic that the chest is more exposed, and there is a flying and drooping texture, and at the same time, because the wrinkled lines are relatively clear, so it forms a strong sense of layering. In addition, we can also find some characteristics, for example, under the extremely high level of craftsmanship, the collar and sleeves of the Buddha statue appear in the way of gold painting or piling gold, as for a very important part of the Buddha statue, that is, the decoration of the lotus platform is also very distinctive, the upper half is the lotus decoration, the lower half is mainly in the form of an octagonal girdle, and there will also be a devil's bar......"

Although she didn't usually come into contact with any antiques, Fang Ming's description was very clear, so Sun Rong also heard it very clearly, so when Fang Ming said it, she compared it with the Buddha statue on the table, and found that it was really as Fang Ming said, every feature was in line.

"There are more Buddha statues of Arhats in the Ming Dynasty, which can be said to be the representative works of Buddha statues in this period, stone, copper, clay, etc. are all used to carve Arhat statues, and its characteristics are just like what was said before, basically they are already secularized, very close to the characters in real life, that is, they are very similar to the monks in the temples in reality!"

"This is obviously different from the Buddha statue of the Tang Dynasty, in the Tang Dynasty, the Arhat statue has a high nose and deep facial features, as for the clothing, it is mainly with Indian characteristics, this kind of foreign influence can still be seen until the Song Dynasty, but for the Ming Dynasty, these characteristics have basically disappeared."

"That's right."

Wu Yong nodded, what Fang Ming said was true, it was indeed an important basis for identifying the Buddha statues of the Ming Dynasty, and he also knew all of these, but there was still no way to clearly judge whether this was a Buddha statue of the Ming Dynasty or not.

"Fang Ming, what you said is all right, and this Buddha statue in front of you

I also agree with what you said that this is a Buddha statue of the Ming Dynasty, but there is no way to prove it based on this alone: although the previous stone rust proves that this is an old stone statue, it is impossible to prove that it is the Ming Dynasty. ”

Summer is also frowning, just as Wu Yong said, how could an expert like them not know what Fang Ming said? The Buddha statue in front of you fits these characteristics perfectly.

"Fang Ming, a Buddha statue with such characteristics, we can be sure that it is definitely not before the Ming Dynasty, but it cannot prove that he is not after the Ming Dynasty, for example, the Buddha statue after the Qing Dynasty of course also has its own characteristics, but if someone carves a Buddha statue according to the Ming Dynasty, it is not impossible."

"Well, yes."

Fang Ming also nodded and said, "There is indeed such a possibility, so when I was appraising this Buddha statue, I was a little hesitant. ”

The Buddha statue in front of me has the characteristics of the Ming Dynasty Buddha statue, which can only prove that it is not before the Ming Dynasty, but there is no way to prove that it is not after the Ming Dynasty, at least it cannot be 100% proven. That's what Summer is talking about.

"However, I also have a Buddha statue that I can use to prove that this is a Ming Dynasty."

Fang Ming's words immediately aroused the interest of Wu Yong and Xia, and they said in unison: "What is it?" ”

"The Arhats of the Ming Dynasty actually have a huge shortcoming in terms of shape, and this feature is actually an important basis for identifying whether they are the Arhats of the Ming Dynasty."

"This ......"

"Ahh No, how could we have forgotten this. ”

Wu Yong and Xia Xia glanced at each other, and an expression of annoyance appeared on their faces! Yes, they forgot a very simple but important identification! At this time, as soon as Fang Ming mentioned it, they immediately remembered it!

"Although the Arhats of the Ming Dynasty have their own characteristics in terms of clothing and other aspects, especially the places where gold is piled up or painted with gold, there is a fatal feature that many of the faces of the Arhats at this time are the same, giving people the feeling that they are carved out of a mold!"

"Yes! This is why people say that the Buddha statues of the Ming Dynasty lack charm, and even if there is a little charm, it is not vivid at all! ”

Wu Yong and Xia Xia were both masters among them, and when Fang Ming mentioned it at this time, they immediately thought of it, and there were thousands of Buddha statues of various dynasties they had seen

At this time, they immediately recalled that under this comparison, they were basically able to determine that this was indeed a Buddha statue of the Ming Dynasty!

The reasons before and after add up to sufficient.

"Huh? In other words, Fang Ming identified it? ”

Sun Rong is a layman after all, although Fang Ming has explained it very clearly, she still can't understand a little bit, why can't the Buddha statue prove that it is from the Ming Dynasty after it has those characteristics before, but now it is okay to do so?

"Hahaha!"

Wu Yong laughed loudly, the problem that had been pestering him for many days was now solved, how could he be unhappy? For him, it doesn't matter if he identified it himself, the important thing is that he finally found the answer.

Summer is also very happy, what Fang Ming said can indeed be used as proof, of course, although it still can't be 100% proven, but it is already much more powerful than before, which is the key.

"Grandpa Wu, you haven't answered me yet, why when Fang Ming mentions this feature in the back, it can be proved that this is from the Ming Dynasty?"

Chen Rong shook her head, she still didn't understand this question.

"This ...... How to put it, in a simple sentence, this is a recognized standard of identification, this ...... This ......"

After Wu Yong explained, he found that he really didn't know how to explain this problem.

"In fact, it should be said that one is because this feature is recognized in the appraisal community, so it is more convincing, and coupled with the obvious characteristics of the previous era, it is more able to explain the problem. This is actually very important, that is to say, Fang Ming reminded us that this is enough for us to identify this is the Buddha statue of the Ming Dynasty to a large extent, or that sentence, although it is not 100%, but it can be determined to a large extent, this is enough, in the identification of antiques, there is never 100% sure of such a thing. ”

"Okay...... I have to admit that I still don't quite understand what this is all about. Sun Rong saw Wu Yonghe, who was already very excited at this time, and knew that it was useless for her to ask anything at this time.
