Chu Chen then explained: "As for why I said that the cup is added later, there are three main reasons. First, the color of the gold powder filled in the engraving is dark, which should be a synthesis of copper and other components, and the artifacts of the Daoguang period did not find this color. ”

"The second is that in the four-character seal book, the style of 'light' and 'system' is not the same as that of this book in the same year, and the word 'system' is too biased and seems cramped." The words 'Dao' and 'Year' are loosely spaced. The last point is that the carved knife marks are relatively new, which is compared with the car marks at the bottom of the cup, which is both new and old. ”

Speaking of which, some friends may ask, since it is already a genuine product of the Guangxu year, what is the need to draw a snake to add a piece of knowledge?

In fact, the reason is also simple, just like the imitation of official kilns with folk kiln utensils, it is nothing more than to add a little value. This is not uncommon in the antiques market today, and many sloppy buyers fall for it, which also requires special attention.

"That's a good point......

After listening, Liu Lao and Yu Renpeng nodded again and again, and at this moment, Dean Sima and Fei Lao walked in together.

"Yo, what are you looking at?" When Dean Sima saw the wine glass in Chu Chen's hand, he thought it was another good thing, and his eyes immediately seemed to glow.

Seeing this, Liu Lao smiled secretly: "Ah Chen, let Sima appreciate the treasure in your hand." ”

Chu Chen smiled and handed over the cup, and Dean Sima couldn't wait to look at it, but as soon as the thing came into his eyes, his face showed a look of disappointment, what kind of treasure is this, it is just an ordinary ivory cup in Guangxu Nian.

Dean Sima's feelings are also adjusted quickly. Immediately he showed the look that a professional should have, but. When he saw the knowledge at the bottom of the cup, he couldn't help but say bitterly: "It's really a tyrannical thing." Tyrannical creatures! ”

The reason why Dean Sima said this is also because this cup is engraved with an engraved payment, which may increase the value of the cup for the seller, but in fact, after adding the engraved payment, the value is reduced.

As the old saying goes, a good pot of porridge is ruined by a mouse droppings. When used on this cup, although it is not so strict, the meaning is similar.

Yu Renpeng also said with some disgust: "It's not! If you want me to say, many antiques are actually ruined by such fools. ”

"People nowadays are hungry for profit!" Liu Lao shook his head and said, "Don't talk about it, Sima, the appraisal results of Achen's guqin have come out, right?" The result? ”

Dean Sima smiled. But he didn't say it directly, and said to Chu Chen with a smile: "Boss Chu, you must also know the meaning of the four guqins, such precious cultural relics." It is not an exaggeration to call it a national treasure, and since it is a national treasure, it must be displayed in front of people to reflect its due value. You see......"

Hearing this, Yu Renpeng was a little confused. He asked, "Master, what are the four major guqins?" Could it be that the junior brother has such a treasure? ”

"You'll find out if you read on." Liu Lao replied with a smile.

Dean Sima's thoughts. That was Sima Zhao's heart, everyone knew it, of course Chu Chen would not agree to such a request, and he had a very legitimate reason.

"Dean Sima, to tell you the truth, I am already preparing for the private museum, and now the site has been decided, and I am preparing to renovate it. In addition, I will set up a real yàn room for the study of cultural relics, and the equipment will be the most advanced in the world, so I will say ......"

When Dean Sima heard this, he was immediately dumbfounded, since Chu Chen was already about to set up a private museum, what was the use of what he said just now, and Chu Chen was also ready to purchase the most advanced equipment in the world, compared with the two, except that the technicians there might be full of talents for a while, there was no advantage compared with Chu Chen.

Moreover, with Chu Chen's identity, it is also extremely easy to ask Liu Lao to help find some talents.

Thinking of this, what else can Dean Sima say? I can only smile bitterly: "Forget it, I won't talk about this, let's talk about this guqin first......"

Speaking of this, Dean Sima carefully took out the guqin from the piano bag and put it away, and then asked Chu Chen to check whether the guqin was in good condition, and then said with a little excitement: "Boss Chu, first of all, I want to congratulate you, and at the same time, I want to thank you for letting our national treasure return to the motherland!" ”

"Dean Sima, are you saying that this is indeed the real Liangqin?!"

Although Chu Chen had basically determined the authenticity of Liang Qin, he was still very excited when he heard Dean Sima's affirmative reply.

Some friends may be a little strange about this, but don't forget, this is one of the four famous ancient pianos, from the production of zuò to the present, the time span is as high as more than 2,600 years, so many years, the sea is mulberry, and the guqin is still so well preserved, this is not a miracle.

And for such a miracle, Chu Chen still felt very incredible even if he had already let the ability be tested, and now that he had received Dean Sima's affirmative answer, how could he not be excited and happy?

"What? Master, I heard you right, the junior brother just said that it was around the Liangqin? ”

At this time, not only Chu Chen felt extremely excited, but Yu Renpeng next to him was already dumbfounded, and his first reaction was to think that he had heard it wrong.

"Yes!"

At this time, Liu Lao was also very excited, he just replied with a simple word, and hurriedly asked: "Sima, when you used the instrument to test, did you find how this qin has been preserved from more than 2,600 years ago to the present?" ”

"So far, we've basically summarized two points."

Dean Sima explained: "The reason why this qin is so well preserved is, first of all, except for the years overseas, we think that its previous owner, everyone has taken great care of it, which is a decisive factor in the preservation of this guqin to the present." ”

"There is another factor, but the wood used in this guqin is very special, it is a bit like sycamore wood, but from the results of the instrument, it is not the same. And even now, the density of this wood is higher than that of many of today's wood, and I can't imagine how dense it was more than 2,000 years ago! ”

Liu Lao immediately asked, "Could it be a mutated sycamore wood?" ”

Dean Sima agreed: "We think so too, but this kind of wood has not been recorded in the world, and I wonder if it is an isolated case." It is precisely because of this unique wood that this thousand-year-old guqin has been completely preserved to the present. ”

In the end, Dean Sima's eyes were full of fire, and at the same time he was very disappointed, if such a national treasure could be collected, how good it would be! (To be continued......)
