In the next two days, Fang Yong soaked in the art festival. From time to time, I exchange some experiences with many Tibetan friends in collecting and appreciation. This allowed Fang Yong to gain a lot of knowledge, which was very helpful for his antique collection and appreciation.

During this period, Fang Yong also met several collectors, and because of Fang Yong's rich knowledge in antique identification, he quickly mingled with them and integrated into their antique appreciation circle.

The fun of playing antiques lies in the fact that it is difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake, the real and the fake, and the fun is endless. Even today, no matter how advanced scientific and technological means are, the final authenticity still depends on the human eye to identify. It is precisely because of the distinction between truth and falsehood that it provides a broad and profound stage for collectors to display their vision, financial resources, and courage. It is precisely because of this that these antique collectors are some rich and leisurely people, and they cannot afford to have fun with ordinary people who are looking for three meals a day.

On this day, Fang Yong came to the Convention and Exhibition Center to communicate with Zhao Faliang, an antique collector he had just met, about the new porcelain collection in Jingdezhen.

Zhao Faliang said to Fang Yong: "I have a set of model opera porcelain statues produced by Jingdezhen, which was very good in the 70s, just like street goods. A few friends who followed me thought that these things were new and that they were not collectible, so they didn't want them. At that time, I paid less than 100 yuan to accept it, and now the market value of these statues has reached 1780,000 yuan. This made the friends who were with me at the time beat their chests with regret. ”

"Yes! Brother Zhao, you were born in a good time, when people's understanding of antique collection was still very shallow, and it was not as lively as antique investment is now. Fang Yong said with a smile.

Then Fang Yong said: "I think some of the works with the spirit of the times in Jingdezhen porcelain are still worth collecting. I believe that the spirit cannot be disguised, and some typical ceramic artworks still have room for appreciation, which is especially worthy of collection. ”

"You're right, we have to collect some things that are typical of the times, and we can't buy anything when we see it." Zhao Faliang said.

Fang Yong said again: "Look. The new porcelain of Jingdezhen on display this time integrates Western aesthetics with traditional kung fu, giving people a visual impact on the shape and picture, and at the same time using the combination of abstraction and figuration to show the atmosphere and aesthetics of the times, but also the author's feelings, which is in line with the trend of international standards. ”

As he spoke, Fang Yong's mobile phone rang. It turned out to be a call from Zheng Shuanglin, a collector I just met the day before yesterday: "Brother Fang, are you still in the art festival now?" ”

"Hello Brother Zheng, I'm looking at porcelain in the porcelain museum. Something you talk about! Fang Yong replied.

"That's just right, you're coming to the trading area, I have a fancy for an inkstone, I'm not sure, can you help me take a look?" Zheng Shuanglin said.

After Fang Yong agreed, he said to Zhao Faliang on the side: "Brother Zhao, my friend called me to go to the trading area, then let's talk here first, and you can call me if there is anything." ”

Zhao Faliang said: "That's good." You go first, and I'll take a look at the porcelain. ”

After saying goodbye to Zhao Faliang, Fang Yong hurried to the trading area.

The trading area is still crowded with people, according to the address provided by Zheng Shuanglin just now. Fang Yong quickly found Zheng Shuanglin, who was squatting on the ground with an inkstone and looking over and over.

After greeting Zheng Shuanglin, Fang Yong set his eyes on the inkstone.

This inkstone is in the shape of a cow's tongue, about ten centimeters long and about five centimeters wide. The thickness is one centimeter.

Zheng Shuanglin put down the inkstone and motioned for Fang Yong to pick it up and observe it carefully. After Fang Yong picked up the inkstone, he saw that the ink body was decorated with two carved dragons. The dragon's body bent and flew, with fangs and sharp teeth, and flew into the clouds in a rising shape.

Under the cloud pattern, the Yin text Lishu "Tianfu" and "Yuxiang". In the lower left corner of the front, there is a regular script in Yangwen "Cao Mangchen Cheng is about to build".

The inkstone ink is dark and delicate, which is a good ink. The workmanship is fine and the decoration is exquisite. At first glance, it is not ordinary.

Fang Yong looked at Zheng Shuanglin at this time and said, "Brother Zheng, what is the price of this Fang inkstone?" ”

Zheng Shuanglin crossed his fingers and said, "One hundred thousand!" ”

When Fang Yong heard the price, he gasped, good guy, it's so expensive! Fang Yong didn't speak, and looked at the inkstone again.

Looking at the inscription of this inkstone, Fang Yong knew that this was the ink maker in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. Cheng Junfang is good at making ink, its ink is smooth and delicate, the style and pattern are varied, deeply loved by literati doctors, the author of "Cheng's Ink Garden", six ink products, about 500 styles, which received the ink name, such as "Tianlao Court", "Qinghui Zhao Haiyue", "Returning to the Horse and Cattle Herding" and so on are still used today.

If it was really done by Cheng Junfang, the 100,000 yuan was indeed not expensive. Judging from the appearance of this inkstone, it is really impossible to see anything, and the characteristics of Cheng Junfang's Tianfu Imperial Fragrance Ink are vividly displayed on this inkstone, which makes it difficult for Fang Yong to determine.

Due to the deafening sound of Cheng Junfang's ink, imitations appeared as early as the early Qing Dynasty. But at that time, the imitators were not for profit and money, but to show their skills, marking the names of the imitators and the imitated, and not deceiving customers. If it is this kind of imitation, it also has a certain appreciation and collection value.

Fang Yong carefully inspected the pattern of this inkstone, the ink material, the weight of the shape and other characteristics, and Fang Yong concluded that it was an imitation of the Republic of China.

In order to test the age of this inkstone, Fang Yong opened his consciousness detection and checked the historical images of this inkstone, and Fang Yong found that this was really an imitation of the Republic of China period. It's just that the skills of this imitator are too superb, and all the characteristics of Cheng Jun's Fangmo have been brought into full play by him, making it impossible to distinguish the real from the fake.

After Fang Yong put down the inkstone, he said to Zheng Shuanglin: "Brother Zheng, this thing from the Republic of China still has a certain collection value, but the price is ......."

Before Fang Yong finished speaking, Zheng Shuanglin understood what Fang Yong meant. At first, Zheng Shuanglin was also attracted by this imitation of Cheng Jun's room ink, and all the traces of Cheng Jun's room ink on this piece of ink were revealed. It was precisely because it was too similar that he couldn't pay attention to it, which made Fang Yong come over and have long eyes.

The boss of this stall is not happy with the other party, isn't this smashing his business! So Fang Yong said: "Little child, what do you know? This is the authentic Ming Dynasty's Cheng Junfang Tianfu Yuxiang Mo! ”

Hearing him say this, Fang Yong smiled and said, "This boss, don't be angry!" You say it's authentic, it's authentic? Don't you question it? Although the pattern of this inkstone is very similar to Cheng Junfang's ink, the ink smoke used in this inkstone is from the Republic of China. Why don't we go to the appraisal center to do a technical appraisal? ”

When Fang Yong said this, this boss suddenly wilted. In fact, he didn't know if this inkstone was the real Cheng Jun Fangmo, but looking at its superficial appearance, he identified it as Cheng Jun Fangmo, trying to confuse some people. Unexpectedly, he ran into Fang Yong, who had an ability, so his move was ineffective.

In the end, Zheng Shuanglin spent 13,000 yuan to accept it, anyway, this thing in the Republic of China still has a certain collection value. (To be continued......)
