Chapter 969: Qi Baofu's Collection
Chu Chen carefully explained the process of removing patina, and said: "However, if you are ready to clean up the mirror of the mercury ancient, you must think twice before cleaning the mirror of the mercury ancient. Otherwise, destroying the Mercury Ancient is not so easy to do. ”
Qi Baofu and Fang Jinbo nodded again and again, indicating understanding.
Afterwards, Qi Baofu said with a smile: "Listening to your words is better than reading for ten years, but I am a big old man, and I can't do this kind of thing by removing rust." ”
"I don't think you can learn or do it."
At this time, Qi Baofu's wife came over with a pot of fruit, she warmly greeted Chu Chen and Fang Jinbo to eat fruit, and then pointed at Qi Baofu and said: "Look at you, since you made this antique, you haven't made any money, let's not talk about it, look at how much money you have lost?" ”
Qi Baofu smiled and said: "This antique, at the beginning, there will always be an eye for the teaching fee, don't believe it, ask Teacher Chu, is this the case?" ”
"Don't think I don't understand anything." When Mrs. Qi heard this, she snorted: "It's normal for you to pay tuition, but let me ask you, you have paid so much tuition, how much growth have you made, and how much money have you earned?" ”
"This ......" Qi Baofu was speechless when he heard this.
"How about it, I don't have anything to say, I see you, it's better to do business honestly, don't play any antiques!"
Mrs. Qi sneered, although Qi Baofu can make money, he has spent a lot of money on antiques, and the quality of life at home has not deteriorated, but he bought a bunch of fakes for hundreds of yuan. It hurts to think about it, and of course she won't give Qi Baofu a good look.
"I'll show you what it means to pick up leaks!" Qi Baofu heard this. I was a little unhappy, and I stood up after speaking. Walking to the room, after a few moments, he sat back in place with a box in his hand.
He opened the box and said with a smile: "This is the two-sided bloodstone chapter material I bought for 3,000 yuan, it's not bad, right?" ”
Before Chu Chen could take a closer look, Mrs. Qi frowned and said, "Old Qi, when did you buy this thing?" ”
Qi Baofu paused, and then said with a smile: "I bought it yesterday." ”
When Mrs. Qi heard this, her face was immediately full of anger. Reprimanded: "Haven't you already bought three things this month, why do you still buy them?!" ”
After all, he was at a loss, and Qi Baofu was a little unconfident in speaking, and said: "Ah! It's hard to see something good, you can't miss it, right? Wouldn't it be nice to buy one less next month? ”
Mrs. Qi said angrily: "Why didn't you say that, but as a result, what you bought is a fake, don't say it, next month you will still go your own way, you said that you are still not a man who spits on a nail!" ”
Qi Baofu smiled awkwardly. waved his hand: "Alright, alright!" If I don't talk next month, then the family's money will be in your hands, right? ”
Mrs. Qi took a deep breath: "Okay." This is what you said, Teacher Chu and Xiao Fang can testify, if you regret it. I'll just ask the two of them to help me judge. ”
Qi Baofu patted his chest: "Okay, I promise you this." You can put a hundred hearts. ”
Speaking of this, he smiled at Chu Chen and said, "Teacher Chu." I don't know what do you think of my two bloodstones? ”
"I'll take a look before I talk about it."
"Okay......
Next, Chu Chen carefully observed the two chapters one by one, and finally shook his head towards Qi Baofu, who was full of smiles.
Seeing this situation, Qi Baofu was immediately dumbfounded, and after half a sound, he said eagerly: "Teacher Chu, my two bloodstone chapters should be right regardless of the pattern and pattern, how can there be a problem?" ”
Fang Jinbo also felt a little tempted by this conclusion, he had also seen the two chapters just now, judging from his eyesight, it should be quite natural, not like a fake, how could Chu Chen say that it was a fake?
Mrs. Qi also looked at Chu Chen, wanting to hear Chu Chen's explanation, although she was used to Qi Baofu buying fakes, but she didn't feel that there was much money, and she wanted to let the three thousand yuan go down the drain.
Chu Chen said: "You said that the texture is right, it's not bad, because this is 'real leather and fake bone'." ”
"Genuine skin and bones?" The trio was a little surprised by this statement.
Chu Chen nodded and said, "Yes!" To put it bluntly, it is the counterfeiter who makes up his mind on the bloodstone. He cut the real bloodstones into thin pieces with a modern precision cutting machine, and then glued them to ordinary Chang fossils or other stones with modern high-strength chemical binders, but they had to be square cylinders, and the six sides were glued seamlessly, so that the effect could be realistic. ”
"In addition, the 'bloodstone' produced by cutting it into thin slices with ordinary permeability and then coating the stones inside with bright red pigment makes the 'bloodstone' more beautiful and less costly. These two chapters are indeed the first method used. ”
In fact, now this kind of counterfeiting method of real leather and fake bones has been widely used, some ancient furniture, Ming style Qing style, red sandalwood huanghuali wenge wood, the outside is pasted with a layer of real wood veneer, and the inside is messy and worthless wood. No matter how you look at it, it is all red sandalwood yellow pear wenge, and it is an old wood in the Ming and Qing dynasties, but in fact it is 'Li Ghost'.
So now some antique dealers are going to collect some incomplete Ming and Qing furniture, and after some operation, you can conjure up a few complete pieces of Ming and Qing furniture.
After listening to Chu Chen's explanation, everyone was quite surprised, and Qi Baofu asked, "Then how do you know that it is this kind of fake bloodstone?" ”
Chu Chen took a piece of bloodstone and explained: "If it is a natural bloodstone, then no matter which side it is, the texture should be a line that can be connected, but like this'Genuine Skin Fake Bone' is spliced together with several pieces of bloodstone, there will inevitably be places where the texture cannot be connected, this is its flaw, you see here......"
said that when he met, Chu Chen pointed out a place on the chapter material, and everyone looked at it, and it was really like this.
"Hey!"
Qi Baofu sat back in place and said with a wry smile: "Now that science and technology are developed, there are endless ways to make fakes, before." Even if they come up with such a trick, they are not enough. ”
Chu Chen nodded and said, "That's true, let's say the current jade." Everyone should know. Jadeite is valuable, and jadeite with good water head and wonderful color is even more valuable. The profit is high. Some people have also turned their attention to jadeite counterfeiting, and even the latest technology is now used. ”
"Don't customers like crystal clear jadeite, they use ultrasonic technology, put the jadeite in the water, and the ultrasonic generator is also placed in the water, using the vibration of ultrasonic, using the scouring of water molecules. In a few days, and it didn't take a few kilowatt-hours of electricity, a large bucket of jadeite carvings was polished. Crystal clear, it can be illuminated, even if it is a stubborn stone, it will flash a jewel-like light. ”
"Also, don't customers like emerald green, they use the most advanced laser technology to punch the color in, and you can hit whatever color you want, and you can hit as many colors as you want."
Hear here. Everyone looked very surprised, and Fang Jinbo asked with an incredulous expression: "Can the laser still have such an effect?" Isn't bloodstone also a forgery like this? ”
Chu Chen replied: "That's true, there are already people who use this method to make zuò bloodstone, but." If you use this method to make bloodstone and jadeite, and put it for a while, the color inside the jadeite will become less and less. Bloodstone turns black. ”
"Think about it, some people happily pay a high price to buy back a piece of jade with an emerald green body. Or a piece of superb bloodstone, which was originally intended to maintain and increase its value. Now that it has become a stone, its anger can be imagined. ”
When Mrs. Qi heard the end, she said indignantly: "These people are too lacking in morality, and sooner or later they will be punished!" ”
Qi Baofu pursed his lips and said: "They don't care about retribution or not, as long as they can make money, they can think of any crooked ways, and now the atmosphere in society is like this, many people are not ashamed but proud, and it is impossible to manage it with our personal ability?" ”
Everyone nodded yes.
Qi Baofu smiled and said, "Forget it, don't talk about this disappointment, Teacher Chu, then please help me take a look at my collections." ”
Mrs. Qi said: "What's so nice about those things of yours, apart from a few things, which one is not a fake?" ”
"What if you say this, what if there is a fish that slips through the net?" Qi Baofu also knows that none of his things are good, but the probability of this thing is uncertain, what if there is a miracle?
Mrs. Qi sneered: "The fish that slipped through the net is just your 'baby' with a strange smell?" ”
Qi Baofu smiled, stood up and said, "Talking to you about these is a cow talking about the qin." ”
Mrs. Qi sneered: "Okay, okay, I don't have anything to say to you, you just need to remember what you said just now." ”
"Don't worry, you can't forget the ......"
Qi Baofu waved his hand and took Chu Chen and Fang Jinbo into his collection room.
After entering the room, Qi Baofu complained: "The one in my family is really good, she knows nagging all day long, and she is annoyed to death." ”
Chu Chen and Fang Jinbo looked at each other and smiled, to say that Qi Baofu is still a good person, but he is too invested in antiques, and it is ugly to say, and he is a little self-aware, knowing that his talent in this area is relatively low, and he still invests money in it, which is really stunned.
However, it is inconvenient for them to say more about this kind of thing for a while, so they can only find an opportunity to slowly persuade them, hoping that Qi Baofu can spend less unjust money.
At this time, Qi Baofu spoke again: "Teacher Chu, the things in this house are what I have bought over the years, although most of them have been broken into fakes, but I am reluctant to throw them away, so I keep leaving them, anyway, no matter what, it is also a work of art." ”
Chu Chen looked around and found that with his eyesight, he could also see that these were indeed fakes, and Qi Baofu said that they were works of art, and they were already lifting them, because there were many things that were simply hysterical products.
Although he hadn't known Qi Baofu for a long time, Chu Chen felt that he was quite close to him, and Qi Baofu's personality was also good, so he told the truth: "Old Qi, the things you have here are really not good, to be honest, it is really not possible to appear in case of such a possibility." ”
A look of disappointment flashed in Qi Baofu's eyes when he heard this, but he had expected this, so he said: "These are all put on the bright side, they are really not good things, I still have a few items in the box, I'll go and get them." ”
After speaking. So he ran to a camphor box in the corner of the wall and rummaged through it.
At this time, Chu Chen said to Fang Jinbo: "Although the things here in Lao Qi are basically fakes. But for you, it's a learning opportunity. If you can understand these fakes, you will be able to suffer less in the future. ”
When Fang Jinbo heard this, he nodded again and again: "Teacher Chu, then I'll take a look now." ”
"Hmmm......"
When Fang Jinbo was there to observe the fakes, Qi Baofu took some things and walked over.
Putting the things on the table, Qi Baofu took out a scroll from it and unfolded it, and said, "Teacher Chu, among these things, I like Liu Yong's calligraphy work the most." And I've compared it, whether it's the shape or the meaning, it's consistent with the original, and I think it should be a genuine product. ”
Hearing that it was Liu Yong's work, Fang Jinbo hurriedly put down the things in his hand and ran over.
Liu Yong must be familiar to everyone, and Ji Yun, and Shen are known as the three major halls of the Qianlong Dynasty, according to legend, he is extremely smart, upright, and has the title of "Liu Luoguo" among the people. However, whether Liu Yong in history is really a Luo pot and whether he has been the champion. There is no conclusive historical evidence.
Liu Yong's calligraphy attainments are profound, is the Qing Dynasty famous scholars, his calligraphy by Dong, Zhao, and then all over the Jin, Tang and Song dynasties. It is especially powerful to Su Dongpo, Yan Zhenqing and Jin and Tang Xiaokai, who are well integrated and have their own pattern. The dots of his books are short and thick in the plump places, and the thin ones are contained and healthy. The contrast is strong. The knot is introverted and simple, and never congested. The end weight is stable and revealing the spirit. The rules are staggered, comfortable and graceful.
The overall style is subtle. The spirit is introverted, like Taiji, the appearance is dignified and the air is clear, there is the weight of the Confucian old minister, and the frivolity of the arrogant and arrogant things, it seems to contain all kinds of things and is unfathomable, and it is respectable. Because he likes to use thick ink, the time name is "Thick Ink Prime Minister".
The work in front of me is excerpted from "Poetry of Fengyuetang", the work is integrated into the line of grass brushwork, thick and thin, plump and thick, stable and large, and there is a clear and vigorous trend in absorbing Tang Dynasty strokes. The pattern of the wax paper is also very exquisite, especially the meticulous attention paid to the writing. It does seem to be Liu Yong's style.
In addition, the seals and seals on the paper also look genuine. However, as soon as the work came into view, Chu Chen frowned slightly, because this work seemed to lack some spirituality.
So, Chu Chen took out a magnifying glass and looked at it word by word, and then he checked the paper and other aspects.
"Lao Qi, you haven't appraised this work before?" Chu Chen asked while putting away the magnifying glass.
Qi Baofu smiled bitterly: "You also know my eyesight, I don't dare to let others identify it, if it's true, then it's okay to say, in case it's fake......"
Chu Chen shook his head: "Old Qi, you are completely covering your ears and stealing the bell by doing this, it can't be fake, it can't be fake, even if you don't identify it, how should it be." ”
Qi Baofu smiled and said, "I also know this, no, I'll let you help take a look." ”
Chu Chen smiled and said, "Okay, I'll talk about paper first." ”
"It's over!"
Seeing that Chu Chen actually started talking about the paper first, Qi Baofu chuckled in his heart, it seemed that his calligraphy work was estimated to have been sentenced to death, he cried with a sad face, and said, "You say." ”
When Chu Chen saw Qi Baofu's expression, he knew that he should have guessed the result, in fact, the reason why he started with the paper first was also to hope that Qi Baofu could add some insight in this regard, and don't take it lightly. If it's a friend, you have to take care of it.
He said: "Generally speaking, the old color of old paper and silk should intuitively feel natural, peaceful and clean, with uniform positive and negative colors and clear textures. The new old color looks fiery, the color is uneven, and the paper silk surface is not clean, the texture is not clear, and the fluffiness is raised. The old color of genuine paper is generally brown, yellow-brown and light gray. ”
"When you smell the authentic old paper silk, you feel the smell of ash and smoke. When you smell the new and old paper silk, you will feel the pungent smell of pigments and glue......"
Chu Chen spoke freely for five or six minutes, and explained to the two of them the method of identifying whether the calligraphy and painting paper was old, and finally, he said: "Lao Qi, did you say that the paper of your calligraphy work is not old?" ”
Qi Baofu followed the methods Chu Chen said just now, learned and sold now, checked the paper, and then said dejectedly: "This paper should be made of old age." ”
Chu Chen patted Qi Baofu's shoulder and said, "There is a way to eat a trench and increase wisdom, I hope you will not suffer from the same things in the future." ”
Qi Baofu perked up a little, arched his hand to Chu Chen, and said, "Thank you, Teacher Chu." ”
Chu Chen waved his hand: "They are all friends, don't be so polite." ”
"Teacher Chu." At this time, Fang Jinbo, who was standing next to him, called.
"What's the matter?"
"That's right, I used to be at an elder's place, and I also saw Liu Yong's real handwriting, and I feel that the calligraphy style of this calligraphy work, as well as the artistic conception it expresses, seem to be similar, what's going on?"
"That's right!" Hearing Fang Jinbo say this, Qi Baofu immediately reacted, the reason why he thought that this work was genuine was also because of the comparison with the original work in the museum, and now because of the paper, it proves that it must be a fake, but what about the style and artistic conception?
Chu Chen said with a smile: "Among the methods of falsification of calligraphy, there are many that can make this level, and there are two methods that can cause such an effect, one is to 'expose the second layer'......"
As he spoke, he explained to the two of them what 'revealing the second layer' was, and then said: "However, because of the paper, Lao Qi's work of yours is definitely not 'revealing the second layer', so I think it should use the 'slide show' method of falsification." ”
"Slide show? Do you mean that this calligraphy is described? Qi Baofu and Fang Jinbo both felt a little incredible. (To be continued......)
