Now seeing Chu Chen learning these things for her, so happy, makes her heart feel excited, and at the same time, she is also determined to learn this aspect well and not let Chu Chen down......

"Brother, I see that you are so careful, this azure glaze round wash can't be the famous Ruguan kiln, right?"

"Xiaolan, you guessed right, this round wash is from Ruguan Kiln."

"Really!" Although there were already some guesses, but hearing Chu Chen's affirmative answer, Chu Yulan couldn't help but show surprise on her face, and she couldn't help but want to take a look.

"Brother, can I get started and take a look?" Chu Yulan asked a little weakly.

"Hehe, what's not to do with that." Although things are indeed more precious, Chu Chen was not cautious, and immediately nodded and agreed to Chu Yulan's request.

"Brother Xiexie!"

Chu Yulan responded sweetly, and then specially asked Chu Chen for a pair of gloves, and after putting them on, she began to pick up the round wash and observe it carefully. After looking at it for a while, her face gradually changed, her brows furrowed slightly, with a bit of admiration, surprise and obsession, and there was a trace of doubt on her face when she reached zuihou......

"Brother, I read what is written in the book, the utensils of the Ru kiln are fragrant gray tires, but why can't I see it?"

Chu Chen smiled and said: "Xiaolan, you are observing very carefully, but you must know that this round wash is a Ru kiln porcelain with a "full glaze wrapped in foot burning", it has no place to show the fetus, and even if it is a mat fired Ru kiln porcelain, although there is an exposed place, let's look at it now, it should be a "copper bone". ”

"Huh? What is a "bronze bone"? Chu Yulan asked a little dumbfounded.

Chu Chen explained to her: "In Zhao Ruzhen's "Antique Guide", there is a description of "copper bones", "The unglazed ones are called copper bones, which are light red because their soil is mixed with metal, which is quite similar to sheep liver." "Therefore, there is often no glaze, and its color is like the fetal bone of sheep liver, which is fashionable at that time; It is quite beautiful to have such a phenomenon as it is aesthetically pleasing, so it is highly valued. ””

"And what about Weishenme will turn into a "copper bone"? Chu Yulan asked curiously.

Chu Chen smiled and said: "Actually, this is also very simple, we know that the porcelain tires of the Song Ru kiln are all gray and white, with different shades, and they are all similar to the incense ash after burning, so they are commonly known as "incense ash tires", which is indeed correct, but this definition is only very correct in the short term in the Northern Song Dynasty and later. ”

After more than 900 years of history, the dust, soil and other substances in the surrounding environment are easy to react with the surface of the tire, and this "fragrant gray tire" has also changed from the surface phenomenon to the essence of the inside, and its unglazed surface has become a "copper bone", and this phenomenon is the traces left by the years, and it is quite difficult to imitate. ”

"Xiaolan, you also know that a complete piece of Ruguan kiln is very rare now, so what we generally say now is the "fragrant gray tire", but it is a conclusion drawn from the observation of the new section of Ru kiln porcelain, so you must be cautious when you encounter Ruguan porcelain in the future. ”

"For example, the next time you encounter a piece of Ru kiln porcelain, don't care how the seller blows how the sky falls, as long as you see the wear and tear on the body of the vessel is a "fragrant gray tire", then you have to be careful when buying, this situation is fake. ”

After listening to Chu Chen's words, Chu Yulan couldn't help but show a sudden look.

"Brother, what you said is really good, but what you said is not written on the book I bought, is it wrong for me to buy the book? So how do I choose this kind of book? ”

Chu Chen smiled: "Okay, let's not talk about him first, tell me how you bought the book in the first place?" ”

"I just choose those books that are thick and have a more comprehensive introduction, and as long as the publisher has no problem, I will buy them." Chu Yulan said with some embarrassment.

"Xiaolan, if you just want to understand it or are a beginner, then there is nothing wrong with choosing a book like this, but if you want to study it in depth, then such a large and complete book is definitely not enough. Because ceramics of each era have their own characteristics, even in the early, middle and late stages of a period, there will be differences. ”

Chu Chen explained: "Just like the enamel color of the Qianlong period, because the Qianlong Emperor had a soft spot for pastel, there were works between pastel and enamel in the middle and late periods. Therefore, if we want to study ancient ceramics, it is not enough to read a book, but also to read more books, make more comparisons, and summarize the common characteristics of the works of this period according to the descriptions of the works of the same period in each book. ”

"Of course, not everything in every book is correct, some are because of the limitations of the times, and some are because the author's skills in this book are not at home, so what is written is not correct."

"Like the "Jade Chronicle" written by Chen Yuanxin in the late Qing Dynasty, this book is undoubtedly a good book, which has a great impact on the ancient jade industry of ancient jade, and its insights are beyond the reach of previous generations of literati. However, because of the limitations of science in his time, some knowledge, from our modern perspective, is undoubtedly wrong. ”

"A book like this is very good, but there are mistakes, so we have to use our brains more when we read it to avoid its influence."

Seeing Chu Yulan nodding thoughtfully, Chu Chen continued: "Of course, if you want to learn the knowledge of antiques, it is definitely not enough to read books, we also have to go to see the real thing." As a new scholar, if you don't have a master to lead you, it's best not to go to the antique market at the beginning, and the first place to go should be a museum. ”

"In this way, you can use the museum's exhibits that have the exact date of excavation, or that have been handed down in an orderly manner, as a standard in the appraisal, and then go to the antique market to compare them one by one. By doing so, I believe that your level will improve quickly. ”

"Zuihou, if you see a fake, if you are not in a hurry, don't put it aside in a hurry, but carefully observe, the counterfeiting method of the fake, to identify the real with the fake, is also a comparative method of antique identification."

Chu Chen's words made Chu Yulan nod again and again.

"Brother, Xiexie, you told me so much."

"Hehe, you're welcome, it's just a little bit of my experience. By the way, Xiaolan, you just came in, is there something wrong? Chu Chen asked.

Chu Yulan hurriedly replied, "Oh, brother, I want to ask you what the arrangements are for a while." ”

"There's nothing to do today, I want to pay homage to my dad in a while, and then we can go back to Beijing."

Hearing this, Chu Yulan said with a little twist: "This...... Elder brother...... Can I go along? ”

"This ......" Chu Yulan's request really made Chu Chen a little embarrassed, and he really didn't know much about this aspect.

Seeing this, Chu Yulan hurriedly said: "Brother, I know that this request is also a bit presumptuous, I just want to express my gratitude for my parents and me, if it doesn't work, then it's okay." ”

Chu Chen thought about it, after all, going to the grave was just a feeling to commemorate the ancestors, and this was also a long-cherished wish of his father for many years, so he nodded and agreed......
