Five minutes passed, Wu Lao put down his reading glasses, and a faint smile stretched out on his face, and then his face was a little ugly, as if he was dissatisfied with Zhao Wenyou and the expert judge, and said to the judge with a reprimanding voice.

"I said that you are the masters of major special connoisseurs, and as the mainstay of the antique circle, you didn't even see what this was, which really disappointed me."

Zhao Wenyou saw that Wu Lao's face was pale, and he was afraid that he would be angry, so he hurriedly said. "Elder Wu, it's not that we don't know what this is, we know that this is the gloomy wood of red sandalwood. But I don't know why it enters the water and comes out of the painting. Elder Wu still showed a disappointed look. This bead is a gloomy wood of red sandalwood, yes, looking at the color of this red sandalwood, I am afraid it is still old sandalwood, buried in the ground for at least thousands of years. ”

"And how did this rosewood painting come about? I think you've fallen into a misunderstanding. ”

Wu Lao would be silent, but listening to his tone, Han Chong immediately understood that Wu Lao had already seen the clue.

At this time, Wu Lao Guo said unexpectedly. "How this painting appeared, it's very simple, and it's not as bad as you think, I'll actually make a little real thing with you, and you'll know."

"Come with me."

Wu Lao picked up his crutches, he ran his head in the direction of the venue, and immediately two people supported him.

Wu Lao asked Zhao Wenyou to take the water cup, and after a while, everyone followed Wu Lao's steps to the venue.

After arriving at the venue, after Wu Lao was ready, he waved his hand and said to the Tibetan friend who was close to the window, "Now, you guys close the curtains for me." ”

No one knew what Wu Lao was going to do, but they still listened to his call. Pull the curtains up for a moment.

Tear and pull.

The curtains naturally cut off the sunlight outside, and when the sunlight no longer reflected in the water glass, Wu Lao would say solemnly.

"Look at the orb now. Has his painting disappeared? ”

Don't say it, when the sun is blocked by the curtains. Sure enough, the sandalwood that fell into the water did not appear in the painting.

That Xiongguan Mandao, that Lao Tzu who rode a cow.

It's going to be completely out of the water.

Zhao Wenyou realized something at this time, he said that he understood a little, and Wu Lao continued. Actually, this painting is not strange, it is based on a simple principle of sunlight refraction, through which the texture of the gloomy wood surface of the rosewood is revealed. Without water and sunlight, this painting would not have appeared. ”

"Besides, if you look closely at this gloomy wood of red sandalwood, you will see that the meridians of this texture have been artificially carved. He couldn't see it with his usual naked eyes, but if he had experience, he could immediately perceive it, and even though I didn't get my hands on it, I could know it just by feeling. His textures are miniature sculpted. ”

"Naturally, because he has a good natural texture, there is very little carving. That's why I can't see any traces of carving. ”

"But then again, although the amount of work is not large, the person who carves it is definitely a master-level craftsman. Because before he carved the miniature carving, he had to judge the specific carving position, because it was not easy to operate in the water, he had to modify the gloomy wood of red sandalwood perfectly according to the angle of light refraction. ”

Yes, Director Zhao and the other judges don't think so. To refract the light from a gloomy red sandalwood tree, it is necessary to present such a picture in the water. That's not something that ordinary people can do.

"Great, the wisdom of the ancients. Sure enough, it is not something that people today can completely exhaust their imagination. Master Gao sighed first.

On Han Chong's side, Cai Yuantu was also shocked by this scene.

Actually, at the beginning, Cai Yuantu thought that this thing should not be a fairy baby. Looking back now, I finally understand why there were so many legends of immortal deeds in ancient times. Because there are too many mysteries that are difficult to perceive, it is difficult to interpret, so some myths and legends are made up.

"You always think that the wisdom of the ancients is profound and profound, but in fact, who said it well, it was not by chance. Speaking of which, this is not a superb stunt, and through the principle of optical refraction, the treasure that appears is not only this one. It's like when I saw an old painting, I always thought how good it was. However, after repeated scrutiny, I learned from the guidance of a high-ranking collector that it was just a trick to hide the key places on the painting, which made people think it was a fake. ”

"And this kind of concealment of the truth with falsehood is what the great collector told me."

"Who's that great collector?" Han Chong admired Wu Lao, because he had no special abilities, and he didn't take out the orb yet, he could see this secret, to be honest, Han Chong wanted to worship Wu Lao as a teacher.

Indeed, if it weren't for his special ability, it would be impossible to see through this unpredictable hidden method. However, now I heard that there is such a character, who has seen through the blindfold with only his vision and experience, and he has to admire him.

Moreover, he is more powerful than Wu Lao.

"Say it, you should know it." Wu Lao smiled slightly, his face was full of reverence: "He is the number one player in the capital, a big collector, a university scholar, Wang Shixiang." ”

"Wang Shixiang?"

Han Chong still hadn't heard of it, but since he admired Wu Lao so much, he must be the number one person.

"Ah, it turned out to be him, no wonder ......" Master Gao in the capital nodded again and again.

And everyone seemed to have heard of him, and suddenly, everyone suddenly realized, and there was a sense of naturalness.

For Wang Shixiang, many people worship the master, and even more in their antique shops, the bamboo carving art, bamboo carving appreciation, Ming-style furniture appreciation, ancient Chinese lacquerware and other antique works are the works of this university scholar.

Zhao Wenyou will say, "Mr. Wang can not only play, but also write, he plays with things and researches, plays with culture, and even plays out a century of learning." ”

"He brought the carving skills of Jingshi to the hall of elegance, and devoted himself to discovering the unpopular knowledge that was on the verge of being lost, which not only filled a long-term gap in the history of Chinese craftsmanship, but also provided an indispensable reference manual for collectors and researchers today."

"Play is learning, learning is playing, this is Mr. Wang's realm." Wu Lao sighed and sighed: "I am fortunate to have his guidance, otherwise I would have wanted to reach this state in the antique shop." I can't do it anymore. However, I don't want you to do it, I just hope that you can learn from Mr. Wang's attitude of learning while playing. Don't focus too much on the value of the artifact. It's about learning more about the cultural significance of cultural relics. ”

"Another example, this red sandalwood gloomy wood bead. He looks complicated. In fact, it is a simple principle of refraction. But other knowledge still needs to be learned while playing. ”

Speaking of which, although Wu Lao explained the reason for the appearance of this painting, there are still some problems that cannot be detected. For example, if a bead is put in water and no one touches it, why does it spin automatically? For example, when the ancient craftsmen carved the pattern with the texture of beads, how did they grasp the refraction in the water? It's just speculation, speculation. That's really hard. Including some other doubts.

"Elder Wu, can you tell what age this bead is?" Zhao Wenyou finally has to make a break on this treasure.

Wu Lao groaned.

"It's hard."

"The material of the beads themselves is the gloomy wood that has been buried in the ground for tens of thousands of years, and even with scientific instruments, the most that can be used to identify the age of the material. As for when, it was made of gloomy wood and carved into beads, and the pattern was micro-engraved, so it is difficult to identify. ”

"The only thing that is certain is the time it takes for the beads to be formed. It must have been after the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. ”

The crowd nodded slightly, and it didn't sound like they were saying anything, but it was. This is also one of the evidences of identification. After all, there is always a legend of Lao Tzu's journey to the west before someone carves such a graphic portrait on the beads.

After the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it was inevitable.

However, there are many people who make fake cultural relics who do not understand it, do not respect history at all, and arbitrarily add things to the cultural relics that do not exist in that historical stage according to their own imagination.

However, what makes people helpless. No matter how fake things are, they can often be sold.

"The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the present. It's been more than two thousand years. You can imagine, at some point in these two thousand years. A skilled craftsman may be an accumulation of skills or a flash of inspiration. He may not understand what physics, buoyancy, and refraction are, but it does not prevent him from using these principles to make this gloomy red sandalwood that shocks the past and the present......

In Wu Lao's tone, there was amazement and appreciation, but more regret and regret.

Everyone more or less understands his feelings, China has a history of thousands of years, although there is no cultural fault, it has been able to continue to this day, which is something that everyone is very proud of.

However, for thousands of years, China has experienced changes of dynasties and frequent wars, and there is very little time for real peace, but it is often in turbulent times. Once the war breaks out, it means that the family is ruined and the wife is separated.

Even, several times of foreign races into the Central Plains, under the brutal oppression of barbarian civilization, not only the culture of the Central Plains suffered from the destruction of Yanzhòng, but those technical processes that were not valued in the first place were naturally lost.

This point cannot be compared with foreign countries, although there are the same wars, the same killings, and the change of dynasties, but the relics of history are vividly remembered, and the preservation is good...

Looking at the look of regret on Wu Lao's face, Han Chong felt that he had the obligation to change this qiē, at least to do something within his ability, such as a large number of Chinese treasures abroad, and those who were able to do so must take them back and dedicate them to the land of China.

There are no longer so many puzzles about ancient Chinese things.

At that time, let all Chinese know the wisdom of the ancient Chinese, know when they were famous, and even, follow the ancient technical conditions, and make the same exquisite and incredible treasures.

"Although I have interpreted one or two of this treasure, I still need to ask some professionals to study all the secrets of the beads. I think that this bead is not only an ordinary red sandalwood gloomy wood, but also seems to have been buried in the ground for tens of millions of years, and has also fused some special substances, so it can refract the purple light in the water. ”

Wu Lao is not without reservations.
