"Brother Yi, what are you looking at? Do you also think that Boss Guo's general jar is very good? ”

At this moment, only to hear Bai Wenchao's smiling question ringing in his ears, Yi Yang immediately calmed down and turned his head to look.

By this time he had already seen the defect in the porcelain, and the matter had finally come to an end.

"Oh, I'll take a look." Yi Yang subconsciously shook his head and said with a smile, "The porcelain is indeed quite good. But I don't see it well, and I won't tell you, I don't even know where the 'General Jar' came about? ”

"Won't it?" Bai Wenchao was surprised, "Brother Yi, you are humble. ”

He smiled meaningfully, he thought that Yi Yang was a modest remark, and said it casually, but in his eyes, the other party not only had superb eyesight, but also had a unique skill in repairing porcelain, which was unfathomable.

Yi Yang nodded solemnly and said, "I really don't know, to be exact, I haven't seen this kind of porcelain before. ”

"Really?" General Bai Wenchao looked at him suspiciously, and said casually, "The general's jar is a special kind of porcelain in ancient porcelain, look at this porcelain, is its top cover inlaid with jewels very similar to the kind of hat worn by ancient generals?" ”

"yes, I can see that, too." Yi Yang nodded and said, "Just because of this, it's called the 'General Tank'?" ”

When he heard Bai Wenchao's explanation, he was a little surprised in his heart, because this was completely different from what he imagined, and he also thought that this kind of porcelain was related to the profession of generals, which was equivalent to a special reward, which was awarded by the emperor to the general as a memorial, but who knew that it was not the case, and its origin seemed to be much simpler.

"Yes, that's how it came about." Bai Wenchao nodded seriously and said, "Brother Yi, then you don't know what this kind of general tank was originally for?" ”

"Well, I don't know." Yi Yang nodded without hesitation and replied, "At first, I thought it was an imperial gift, a reward for the general. ”

Bai Wenchao said solemnly: "In the Han Dynasty, the general jar was a kind of prize similar to today's trophy specially made by the emperor for the victorious general of the Hui Dynasty, and it was shaped like the general's head hat and armor at that time. In the Ming Dynasty, the official kiln specially made the general jar for the imperial court to be used as a gift to the military generals, and the gifts of the Wenchen were mainly the four treasures of the scholar's room. During the Qing Dynasty, ordinary officials in Kyoto used it to hold gold and silver, soft and beloved things, and officials who believed in Buddhism used to hold Buddhist beads, etc., which is related to a more superstitious belief that the shogun's jar would bring official luck, financial luck, and auspicious peace. So, your statement is also right, the general jar was indeed related to the general at first, but it also has a use, it is a bit mad to say, the general jar is actually a kind of utensils for Buddhist monks to hold the ashes, which is equivalent to the 'flesh urn', I don't know if you have heard of the flesh urn, but the general jar is more exquisite and the artistic component is larger. ”

"Oh, I see?" After listening to Bai Wenchao's tirade introduction, Yi Yang suddenly realized, and then shook his head and said, "I really haven't heard of the 'flesh urn'. ”

It's strange that he's heard of such weird antiques, and it's only been less than a month since he joined this industry, and in this short month, how much can he learn, and ancient Chinese art is broad and profound, and it can't be all dabbled in in a while.

What Yi Yang lacks most now is this, he needs to expand his horizons and increase his knowledge.

If it weren't for the extremely limited learning, he wouldn't have come to watch the treasure appreciation meeting of "Gu Bao Zhai" with such interest tonight.

However, he had already made up his mind that since he had integrated into this industry, he would have to learn a lot, and he believed that he would one day become a knowledgeable and experienced appraiser.

While Yi Yang and Bai Wenchao were casually discussing, Boss Guo took out the porcelain from another wooden box and put it on the table for people to see and identify.

"Oh?! How is it another general's jar?! At first sight, Yi Yang was secretly surprised.

The porcelain that caught his eye at this moment turned out to be exactly the same as the first one, whether it was the shape, the glaze, or even the ornamentation, it was all different, it was simply carved out of a mold, and it was no different.

When he saw that porcelain, the golden thread in Yi Yang's right eye did not move in the slightest, and he didn't even feel the aura.

That's right, although the porcelain that was just laid out was also very exquisite, Yi Yang didn't sense the aura, and he didn't notice it when he got closer, and there was no movement at all, which means that the porcelain didn't exude aura.

"Isn't this general jar an antique?!" Yi Yang immediately thought of this.

Because of all antiques, he can sense the aura from above, even if it is a trace of breath, but the piece of porcelain in front of him can't be sensed no matter how hard he cares.

At this point, Yi Yang can basically be sure that one of the two general's jars with the same shape is a fake, and the other has a defect, but what that defect represents needs to be further studied.

"Boss Guo, why do you have two identical pieces of porcelain in your hands?" Someone was surprised, "Could it be that this is a pair of Doucai General cans?" ”

I only heard Boss Guo reply: "No." Ladies and gentlemen, I can't hide it, this general jar and that are not together, the one you just gave to the palm eye is the ancestral heirloom of a friend's family, it should be genuine, I didn't spend a lot of money when I received it from my friend, and now this one is what I bought from outside, when I saw this porcelain, I was also very surprised, this is really too coincidental, how is it exactly the same as the one I received before, although I was very skeptical at the time, but I saw that the thing was good, so I did not hesitate to take it back at a high price. Master Tang, Master Shao, today I invite you to 'Gu Bao Zhai', the key is to ask you to take a look at this porcelain, to see if it is possible that it is also a genuine Doucai in the Chenghua period. ”

As soon as these words came out, Master Tang and the others all showed a look of surprise on their faces, and no one answered directly for a while, but just took a magnifying glass and looked at it in detail.

Except for them, there was a person standing there very calmly at this moment, and that person was naturally none other than Yi Yang.

For Yi Yang, that piece of porcelain does not need to be inspected at all, the age is definitely not enough, it is undoubtedly a fake, and it is a new imitation, but the manufacturer's craftsmanship is extraordinary, and the things made are enough to confuse the real with fake, even experts like Master Tang can't see it at a glance.

"By the way, let's see if there is any missing hole in this porcelain." Yi Yang suddenly thought of this, so he hurriedly picked up the high-powered magnifying glass and looked straight at the same part.

"How can this be?!" After seeing the place clearly, Yi Yang couldn't help but gasp secretly, because coincidentally, he found that defect again, it was exactly the same as the one in front of him, no difference.

After all, he had no experience in identification, and he couldn't judge what that omission represented at once, but he could already see the omission clearly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, how is this porcelain?" I only heard Boss Guo's tone ask a little eagerly.

Master Yi raised his head and said with a smile: "In my opinion, this porcelain is very exquisite from the shape of the vessel to the glaze color to the ornamentation, and there should be no problem." ”

"Oh, really?! Master Shao, then you mean to say that my general's jar may also be genuine?! Hearing the master's answer, Boss Guo was surprised and delighted, and his face was full of smiles.

"yes, that's how I see it." Master Shao nodded affirmatively.

Afterwards, several other masters also nodded their heads in appreciation, because they didn't see anything wrong, like the porcelain made so perfectly, only the official kiln has such exquisite craftsmanship.

"Master Tang, what do you think?" Seeing that the other masters were basically optimistic, Boss Guo turned his gaze to Master Tang, who was still there to do a careful inspection.

After all, Master Tang is one of the most influential experts here, and his opinions should be more authoritative.

At this moment, I saw Master Tang's brows frowning slightly, and he seemed to see something wrong.

Sure enough, I just listened to him and said solemnly: "Boss Guo, Master Shao, I'm afraid that this general's jar is not so easy to identify a result, at least, I don't see it well." ”

"Huh?! Why?! As soon as these words came out, not only Boss Guo was surprised, but Master Shao and others were also very surprised.

Master Tang said that it was not good to look at, and the meaning was very clear, indicating that in his eyes, there was something wrong with that porcelain, and saying that "it was not good to see" was just a euphemistic and modest statement, but in fact it was "not optimistic".

As the owner of porcelain, when he heard that the most trusted master made this judgment, Boss Guo was naturally very nervous, so he hurriedly asked relevant questions and said: "Master Tang, I still hope to teach you, what is the problem with this porcelain compared to that one?" ”

The previous Master Tang was very optimistic, without the slightest suspicion, at this time, many people couldn't understand why two pieces of porcelain were exactly the same, in his opinion, one was genuine, but the other became a problem.

So everyone is also very curious, and just want to hear what Master Tang has to say, so that we can find out.

When Bai Wenchao and the others were puzzled, Yi Yang was very calm in his heart, because he had already seen that there was something wrong with the newly placed porcelain, and if there was no accident, it should be a new imitation with little collection value.

Now seeing that Master Tang rejected public opinion and put forward different views, Yi Yang finally found someone who stood on the same front, and this person was still Master Tang whom he trusted from the beginning.

Therefore, he felt very relieved in his heart, only that the master was worthy of being a master, and he could see the most essential things, unlike other masters, who could not see the deeply hidden flaws in the face of a high imitation.

Faced with Boss Guo's solution, Master Tang shook his head and said, "Master Shao was actually right just now, this porcelain is also very beautiful. I mean, I'm not sure it's not a genuine product, just reservations, I always feel that there is something wrong with this porcelain, but I can't tell the specific situation for a while - Boss Guo, to tell you the truth, I also saw a slightly thief porcelain not long ago, and it is also a large piece of porcelain, that is a pastel porcelain, at first we were very optimistic, but then it was denied by a master, he is an expert in high imitation research, and he has a unique vision in looking at high imitation. ”

"Master Tang, according to what you mean, this general's jar is a high imitation?" Hearing this, Boss Guo's expression suddenly darkened, and he asked in a deep voice.

Master Tang replied, "I'm just a little skeptical. Boss Guo, I'll find someone to take a look at you, or go to the carbon 14 test, and it will be easier to identify after judging the age. ”

"Well, we'll talk about that then." Boss Guo said obviously disappointed.

The opinions of the experts were divided, and they became confusing when they first arrived.

While Boss Guo and Master Tang were talking, Yi Yang picked up his mobile phone and looked at things on the side.

He was looking up information on the Internet on that copycat mobile phone, and he didn't know how long it took, he seemed to have found out some information, and his face quietly changed.

"Boss Guo, Master Tang, can I say something?"

Suddenly, Yi Yang plucked up his courage and spoke.

As soon as he said this, many suspicious eyes looked at him in unison.

Before this, except for Bai Wenchao, no one had paid attention to him, but also, as long as he was a young man who had not dried up, who would pay attention to him.

"Brother Yi, of course you can, if you have any opinions, just mention them, let's discuss them together." Master Tang nodded at him with a smile on his face.

Boss Guo also said: "Say, do you see something?" ”

"yes, I just took a closer look at those two pieces of porcelain." Yi Yang said with a straight expression, "It's a coincidence, I found a problem, and there are problems with both." ”

"What's the problem?!"

Hearing his words, Master Tang and Boss Guo both cheered up a little.

Naturally, his words were very amazing, he actually saw that there was a problem with the two pieces of porcelain, and he also said that there was a problem with the previous one that was unanimously recognized by the experts, which was simply an incredible thing.

The first impression is that he's talking crazy because it's something that can't happen.

Still, everyone wants him to finish his sentence and see what he thinks.

Yi Yang moistened his throat and said, "I guess everyone knows 'Ming Imitation', right?" This is one of the high imitations, which is more famous. If I'm not mistaken, the two general's jars are all imitations, except that one is old and the other is new. ”

"Imitation?! That's a Ming imitation?! ”

Although he said this lightly, the listeners were extremely shocked.

Suddenly, one by one, their eyes widened, staring at Yi Yang like monsters.
