Zhang Yilong has seen the "General Jar" before, but it is not as beautiful as the one in front of him, but the General Jar also sold at a very good price, starting from the original price of more than 600,000 yuan to the last 1.2 million transaction, which has doubled.

Therefore, Zhang Yilong knows that the general's jar is more valuable, and at the moment this porcelain is indeed very exquisite and should be worth a lot of money, but this is only Zhang Yilong's preliminary judgment, after all, we have to judge the authenticity first.

"Zhang Yilong, have you ever seen this kind of porcelain before? Why is it called 'General Jar?' At this moment, Gu Qing, who was sitting next to Zhang Yilong, asked softly.

Zhang Yilong turned his head and glanced at her with a smile, and replied in a low voice, "Didn't you see it?" Does the cover on it look very much like a general's helmet? ”

"yes." Gu Qing nodded and said, "It has a slender dome, which is relatively delicately made. ”

Zhang Yilong said: "Well, this is a major feature of the 'General Jar'. The General's Jar is a type of jar vessel from the Ming and Qing dynasties. Do you know what it was used for in the first place? ”

"What are you used for?" Gu Qing asked curiously.

Zhang Yilong told her: "Speaking out, it may be a little scary, I don't know if you have heard of the 'flesh urn', it is a large jar used to hold the corpse of monks in ancient times, a form of ancient urn burial, and the general jar was actually related to this earlier, but it is not used to hold the flesh, but a jar used to hold ashes." ”

"Huh?!" Hearing Zhang Yilong's explanation, Gu Qing's face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly shook his head and said, "Isn't this kind of general jar unlucky?!" ”

"No, I don't." Zhang Yilong smiled and said, "Miss Gu, you think too much." That was just one of the earlier uses of the General's Jar. In fact, you don't know, it is said that the general jar can bring official luck, financial luck and auspicious peace, so in ancient times, many high-ranking officials or wealthy families had one or two general jars in their homes, and they were often placed in shrines, studies and other very conspicuous and important places in the home, so that people could see it as soon as they came in. ”

The formation of the general's jar can be traced back to the Han Dynasty, when the Shengshang made a special prize for the victorious generals who returned to the dynasty to resemble today's trophies, and resembled the generals' head hats and armor at that time.

In the Ming Dynasty, the official kiln specialized in making general jars, which were supplied to the imperial court as gifts to military generals, and the gifts of Wenchen were mainly based on the four treasures of the scholar's room.

During the Qing Dynasty, it was used by ordinary officials in Kyoto to hold gold, silver, soft and beloved objects, and by officials who believed in Buddhism to hold Buddhist beads, and gradually developed into a relatively common ornament.

"Oh, I see, you scared me just now." Gu Qing breathed a sigh of relief and said, "So, this kind of thing is still very elegant, isn't it very valuable?" ”

"It's hard to say." Zhang Yilong shook his head and said, "The value of an antique porcelain is determined by many factors, even if it is ancient porcelain from the same kiln, there are advantages and disadvantages." ”

"That's right." Gu Qing said with a smile, "Zhang Yilong, I can't see it, it turns out that you also know so much about antiques, and I feel more and more that you are hiding it!" ”

"Where? I just happen to know about this situation, and I don't understand. Zhang Yilong shook his head and said.

Although he still needs to be improved, he is quite level compared to a real newcomer like Gu Qing, Gu Qing has seen a few antiques at best, and can tell what is blue and white porcelain and what is pastel porcelain, that's all, otherwise she would not have hesitated about that piece of "Tongling Jade" last time, and she was so gullible.

After chatting casually with Gu Qing for a while, Zhang Yilong cheered up and began to focus his attention on the blue and white general's jar that looked exquisite at first glance.

"Old Gu, how is it? Didn't you say before that you were sorry because you once missed a wishful general jar. Hehe, today I brought you one for you to see and feel. ”

On the side, Li Kai said with a smile.

"Yes, it's very open!" Gu Changqing admired with a smile, "The shape is upright, the decoration is exquisite, it is a typical blue and white porcelain in the Kangxi period!" This blue and white Ruyi general shawl jar is so beautiful! Boss Xu, you have good eyesight, you have found such a good thing, or here in Haizhou, why don't we have this opportunity?! ”

Hearing that Gu Changqing couldn't help but praise the general jar they brought, Li Kai and Boss Xu and the other four people looked at each other and were very happy.

Boss Xu smiled: "Master Gu, you have won the prize." How can I have eyesight? I was just lucky. The last time I went to shop for goods, I happened to bump into an old friend who I hadn't seen for many years, and I only met the original owner of this general jar under his introduction. ”

Zhang Yilong listened quietly next to them while they were talking, the origin of Boss Xu was unknown, who knew if he was making up a story, so he didn't care about what the other party said, and he didn't want to inquire about the origin of the general's jar, the only thing he wanted to figure out was the jar itself.

Through the naked eye, Zhang Yilong really can't find a little fault, the big jar from the shape to the glaze and decoration, there is no defect, despite this, Zhang Yilong is still skeptical, the main thing is that he doesn't believe in Li Kai, since that Boss Xu is his friend, he brought it, then I'm afraid it's not so simple, the so-called "fox friend dog friend", what honest friends can people like Li Kai make.

"Let's take a closer look before we talk." Zhang Yilong thought secretly, so he looked at the big jar intently, and as soon as his eyes were concentrated, his eyes formed like a net, penetrating the surface of the porcelain, looking directly at its endoplasm and inner wall and other parts, he wanted to conduct an all-round inspection, and it was meticulous, which was also something that ordinary appraisers could not do, and it was his Zhang Yilong's unique advantage.

It stands to reason that since Gu Changqing, who is at the expert level, is very optimistic and thinks that there is no problem, then there should be no need to question it, but the thing was brought by Li Kai and them, and Zhang Yilong and Li Kai have a deep hatred, and he only hopes to find something wrong with that general's jar now and overturn their opinions.

"Sure enough, there is a problem!"

When his eyes enveloped the internal texture of the porcelain, Zhang Yilong couldn't help but be surprised, and then he felt a burst of excitement, it turned out that he found that the texture of the porcelain had a thief light, which looked relatively new, and the slurry halo formed on the surface was in sharp contrast, but no one could see this phenomenon except him.

From this, Zhang Yilong concluded that the general jar that Gu Changqing was optimistic about was a high imitation, but it was very exquisitely made, enough to confuse the real thing.

After carefully reading the various places inside the porcelain one by one, Zhang Yilong was even more sure in his heart.

It's a high imitation!

Since it is a high imitation, there should be a gap, and the next thing he has to do is to find out the loopholes!

The so-called "high imitation", in fact, refers to the imitation of the original goods out of the fake, but because it is more real than the general fake, you can't tell whether it is true or fake without careful look, and some antiques in the high imitation even experts have to be eyed.

However, in the hands of "imitation", generally everyone or master with a high level of imitation will leave a certain flaw after production, called "missing" or "leaking", that is, leaving their own mark in some special places, some are adding words, and some are deliberately adding special marks to some small pictures, such as adding special marks in the eyes of birds, one is to facilitate their own distinction, and the other is to tell the world, which means that I have left a flaw, and Zhang Yilong has not seen this situation in the past.

Therefore, he wanted to find the secret mark on the suspected imitation of the general's jar in front of him, and with that, it was equivalent to getting ironclad evidence.

His eyes searched back and forth inside and outside the general's tank, and he didn't know how long it took, Zhang Yilong's eyes suddenly lit up.

He finally found a clue somewhere on the surface of the porcelain where the blue and white ornamentation was relatively thick......
