0015 Inkstone
"That's the most important thing I'm going to tell you today, and it's also the hardest part of appreciating. Before, I told you that to appreciate a piece of porcelain, you should look at its style, shape, glaze and decoration, but if you encounter high antique porcelain, or fake. It's not enough to just pay attention to these. There is a difference between the old imitation and the new imitation, of course, most of the new imitation imitations are rough and easy to identify, but the old imitation porcelain is difficult to identify because of some ages, and it will have rough old performance. In particular, the famous kilns of the Song Dynasty imitated in the Kangxi and Yongzheng periods and the Yong, Xuan and Cheng kilns of the Ming Dynasty not only glazed and decorated vividly, but also more realistic in shape. During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, porcelain antique reached the highest peak, during which fine products were produced one after another, which was even more smacking. And the sea of pens in front of us, on its outer wall, there is indeed no clue, but the problem is precisely from the inner wall of this sea of brushes. We can't see the glaze inside with the naked eye, so we can only use some tools to illuminate the inner wall of the porcelain under the light, and in the shaking of the porcelain, the light is loaded into it, and we will find that the glaze inside it is problematic, and there is a thin layer of adhesion on its surface, which is what we usually call the old pulp. ”
Wang Ding moved his body and pretended to follow Li Yifeng's movement of shaking the sea of pens to look in, but in fact, Wang Ding had already seen that there was a layer of adhesive pulp on the innermost inner wall of the sea of pens.
Through the appreciation of the sea of brushes, Wang Ding understood that the most difficult part of appreciating porcelain was, in short, to see if it was old through his eyesight.
If others will think that this method is the most difficult to overcome in appreciation, but Wang Ding does not think so. With the help of the jade plate, you can tell whether the porcelain and glaze are one. Even the most clever old toning will leave traces. Then, you can identify it yourself.
After appreciating the sea of pens, Li Yifeng took two more stone inkstones.
It is said to be a stone inkstone, but it is not necessarily made of stone, and this is the inkstone, which is known as one of the four treasures of the study.
The inkstone is a scholar's utensil, because of its sturdy nature, it has been passed down for centuries and is immortal, so it is also a treasured collection of literati in the past dynasties. The materials of the inkstone are rich and diverse, including end stone, she stone, Taohe stone, Cheng mud stone, as well as jade inkstone, tile inkstone, porcelain inkstone, but at the moment Li Yifeng took out the first stone inkstone.
As a miscellaneous collection, Li Yifeng took out the inkstone today, naturally wanting Wang Ding to learn to appreciate it.
"Come, look at this stone inkstone."
The inkstone was placed on the table, because the shape and size were exactly the same, Wang Ding immediately noticed that one of the two stone inkstones was shown.
This stone inkstone is delicate, the texture is like silk, the complexion is beautiful, there is a pattern on the top is very eye-catching, it is imposing, but Wang Ding can't understand what kind of shape it is. Overall, it really doesn't look like an imitation. However, at this time, Li Yifeng was on the side, and Wang Ding did not dare to make rash judgments.
As if he saw what Wang Ding was thinking, Li Yifeng turned his head and asked, "What, Wang Ding, have you already appreciated it?" ”
"Huh." Wang Ding smiled indifferently and said respectfully. "Brother Li, I actually want to learn from you how to see the authenticity of this stone inkstone, to be honest, I just finished appreciating the sea of brushes, and my eyes are a little dazed now, I don't see it."
Li Yifeng knew that Wang Ding was being modest in front of him, and young people were able to be humble, and Li Yifeng was also very pleased.
"Okay, then I'll tell you. This inkstone belongs to the treasure of the study. Its appreciation, in fact, has four steps, a look, to see is to see the inkstone material, technology, quality, inscriptions, etc. There are many kinds of material inkstones, in addition to stone inkstones, there are ink inkstones, jade inkstones, iron inkstones, tile inkstones, mud inkstones in the Tang Dynasty, crystal inkstones in the Song Dynasty, and paper inkstones in the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, like appreciating the sea of brushes, the materials are different and the tasting is different. At present, we should focus on his craftsmanship and appearance. From the naked eye, this stone inkstone is really good, and the natural stone pattern texture on this stone inkstone is clear, and the image of the star is also lifelike..."
"Kuixing Image?"
Wang Ding heard Li Yifeng say that Kuixing's image, and he noticed this stone inkstone, indeed, Li Yifeng mentioned that the part he didn't know on this stone inkstone did look like Kuixing. For a while, Wang Ding remembered that it seemed that this Kuixing was the god in charge of official fortune in ancient legends, and the ornament he didn't know was actually the image of Kuixing. And if there is a star carved on the stone inkstone, the price of the stone inkstone is generally several times more expensive than others.
Therefore, the importance of ornamentation can be seen. The image of Kuixing represents the channel, which will greatly enhance the value of the stone inkstone, which is also what we need to pay special attention to when appreciating. ”
"Yes."
Li Yifeng smiled lightly, he was a little proud to be able to drive the students. "After reading it, the second thing is to touch," Li Yifeng continued, "Touching is to touch the inkstone with your hand to feel whether its surface is smooth and delicate." In short: those who are smooth have good stone quality, and those who are rough have poor stone quality. ”
"Three knocks, is to hold the inkstone with your fingers, after the fingers are tapped, listen to its sound, if it is the end of the inkstone, the sound of wood is better, the sound of the tile is second, and the sound of gold is down. If it is an inkstone, it is better to have a crisp sound. At present, the stone inkstone at this end is the sound of wood. ”
Li Yifeng dragged the inkstone, put it to his ear and tapped it, and Wang Ding followed suit.
"After knocking, we can basically know the material of this inkstone, but at this time we still need to judge the newness of this inkstone, so that it is better to estimate the age and judge the authenticity. This requires the fourth operation of the inkstone, that is, washing, if we encounter a used inkstone with ink marks, we need to wash off the ink marks on the inkstone and return it to its original appearance, so that it is easier to see whether the inkstone is damaged or repaired. We may notice that the color of the patched area is very different from the original color of the inkstone. ”
"The inkstone at the moment is inkless, so this step can naturally be omitted." Wang Ding asked.
"Yes. When we evaluate several inkstones at the same time, we need to weigh the weight of the inkstone, the same size of the inkstone, the heavy one is good, and the light one is inferior. ”
When Li Yifeng spoke, every time he talked about an essential, Wang Ding would take the inkstone that he judged to be genuine, and the other inkstone became a prop for Li Yifeng's teaching.
Wang Ding has seen this inkstone, it is the end stone stone inkstone, it is a large piece of end stone carving, there is no problem, the touch is also very good, smooth and delicate, the sound after the knock is the sound of wood, the color of the stone inkstone is close to a kind of gray and black of marble, beautiful and beautiful.
"Brother Li, give me the stone inkstone in your hand, and I'll take a look."
The silky feel is the same, and the weight is surprisingly similar. Wang Ding looked at the image of the Kui star, which was exactly the same as his own stone inkstone. It's so subtle that the figure, folds of clothes, and charm of the image of Kuixing are all meticulously linked, and they are concocted in the same way.
Rap...
Wang Ding tapped on the inkstone, but the sound in his ears at this time generally sounded the same as what he had appreciated before, but there was still a little different hum.
Li Yifeng was looking at Wang Ding with a smile at this time, and there was a story hidden in that smile, which made Wang Ding full of assumptions about these two inkstones for a while.
The two inkstones seem to be exactly the same, no matter the shape, material, and ornamentation, they are better than the same, but the difference in the sound of percussion just shows that the internal structure may be different. It may also be that these two inkstones may not necessarily be made by the same family.
"Why, after listening to what I told you how to appreciate it, now you tell me whether these two inkstones are real or fake?"
Li Yifeng's eyes were compelling, saying that he was still very gentle when he was teaching before, but at this time, it was completely like a different person. Being pressed by this gaze, Wang Ding was inevitably a little nervous.
With the help of the aura in the jade plaque, Wang Ding could certainly see what knowledge was inside the stone, but now, Wang Ding wanted to get a conclusion through Li Yifeng's appreciation method.
Judge boldly!
Yes, the sound from the front piece is a sonorous wood sound, and the back piece has some noise, so maybe the first piece is really the real thing, and the second piece is an imitation.
Wang Ding raised his head and smiled firmly, "Brother Li, under the guidance of your method, I will make a bold judgment. I think that the fate of the two inkstones is very different. This inkstone, that is, the one I have at hand, because its sound is wood, and the material is indeed the end stone, and the shape of the star is lifelike, unique, and genuine. And the second piece, this inkstone that is closer to you, has impurities in its sound and a slight humming sound, which means that there are probably other materials here, or that the things here are just enough to make up the same weight as the former inkstone, because the weight is the same, the shape is the same, and the degree of imitation of the ornamentation is superb, which will give people an illusion that it is not genuine, but a high imitation. ”
"Bang bang."
A crisp applause came from the room, and this time, it was not Li Yifeng's applause, but the golden dragon who came back from outside.
As soon as Jin Long entered the door, he heard Wang Dingqi Yu Xuan commenting on the two inkstones, in fact, the people who entered the ancient Xiangzhai of these two inkstones would initially comment on it, and it also became a compulsory question. And Wang Ding's answer just now is the correct answer, although Jin Long has an opinion on Wang Ding, but this kid appreciated these two inkstones, Jin Long still wants to express his appreciation.
"Not bad!"
Hey...
After Wang Ding was praised, he naturally saw the golden dragon, and the golden dragon now had something in his hand, because of the distance, Wang Ding still couldn't see what treasure he brought back.
