Chapter 814: Dean Sima's Excitement and Doubts (continued)
Since Dean Sima was able to become the director of the largest museum in China, he must have seen a lot, so after a while, he put away his shocked expression and turned a little excited.
"Fei Lao, I remember that there is no ancient book that mentions the material used in the Liangqin, so could it be that its material is special enough to be preserved for two thousand or hundreds of years, but it has not changed much?"
"I think so!" Fei Lao nodded again and again: "Let's analyze it like this, first of all, later generations have a high evaluation of King Chuzhuang, but such a character is fascinated by a guqin, it can be seen that the sound quality of this guqin is so good?" ”
"And the guqin with such good sound quality, how much do you think it is possible, or use paulownia wood and catalpa wood to make zuò? Moreover, although the use of paulownia wood and catalpa wood in the material of the guqin is more popular, it is not without other materials to replace, such as the pine qin that has been recorded for a long time. ”
"To sum up, I think that the Liangqin uses a special kind of wood, and it is possible that this wood can not rot for a long time......
China's guqin has always been mainly for self-entertainment or less accompaniment to the qin song, unlike the violin and other instruments in Western symphonies, which require a more unified sound timbre. Therefore, whether it is the court or the folk piano, it is often based on local materials, for example, the old wood or even mothed wood that has been replaced in the thousand-year-old corridor or ancient house is dry and the sound transmission resonance is excellent, and the pianist is often regarded as a treasure.
Therefore, in addition to the commonly used tung tree, the wood of many ancient famous pianos is also commonly used in pine, cedar, poplar, willow, catalpa, linden, mulberry, cypress and other materials, and there are also surface and bottom are tung. It is called "Pure Yangqin", and it is said: "When it rains at dusk, the sound is not silent". But no matter what material is chosen. The requirements of wood are definitely preferred.
Guqin selection of materials, so the sound quality, timbre, nature has a big difference, such as pronunciation: clear, vigorous, loose, simple, etc., rich and colorful, one piano and one sound, different timbre, can meet everyone's hobbies. This is indeed a major feature of my country's guqin!
The Song Dynasty's "Mengxi Writings" said: "In the words of the qin, although they are all clear, there are heavy voices in the middle. If there is a light sound, there are five tones in the material", which shows that the material is closely related to the timbre of the guqin.
For example, Fei Lao just said that the piano is made with pine. Qin book quotation (ring record) cloud: (Tang) Lei Wei cut the qin. You don't have to be all tong, in the snowstorm, go to Emei alone to drink, with the lily hat, into the subsoil, listen to its sound even the melodious one cut it, cut for the piano is more than Tong".
Chu Chen also knows something about pine pianos. Like before, he encountered an ancient house in the capital to be demolished, leaving a lot of wood. This type of wood is generally made of pine. Some violin makers will specifically select this kind of wood piano, and it is said that the sound of the qin that comes out of zuò is loose and pure.
"Fei Lao, that means that this guqin is likely to be a Liangqin around the beam?" Dean Sima said with a look of excitement and excitement.
Fei Lao said with a smile: "Whether it is around the Liangqin or not, you have to use the instrument in your courtyard to identify it, and then repair it, listen to its timbre, just the instrument identification is definitely not enough!" ”
After all, the instrument can only roughly judge the age of things, and it is impossible to say that I can judge what instrument I use to take a photo, and this guqin must be a Liangqin. In the final analysis, the instrument is an auxiliary tool in the antique identification, which has its limitations, and the judgment of experts is still indispensable in the antique identification.
Then, Fei Lao smiled and quipped: "Sima, I've known you for so many years, why haven't I seen you so rough before!" ”
Dean Sima smiled and said, "This is probably a guqin that winds around the Liangqin, can I not be anxious?" Moreover, if I don't believe it, you are not in a hurry! ”
Fei Lao smiled: "Since everyone is anxious, then sign the agreement, you can study it quickly......"
Next, the three of them signed an agreement in great detail, mainly on the integrity of the guqin, and made many provisions, for example, when Dean Sima was doing research, he could not damage the guqin because of convenience, etc.
Of course, since Dean Sima was asked to appraise it, Chu Chen had to give some benefits, and the specific Dean Sima did not ask for any funds, but just asked Chu Chen to promise the guqin to be exhibited in the museum for a period of time. Of course, Chu Chen would not have any opinions on this, and readily agreed.
In fact, if Dean Sima wanted to buy this guqin, but it must be extremely difficult to buy antiques from Chu Chen, if this guqin was indeed a Liangqin, he would definitely not have to think about it.
After signing the agreement, Dean Sima picked up the guqin, and was impatient to take it back to the real room for identification.
Seeing this, Fei Lao stopped nagging, and sent the two to the door with a smile.
After saying hello to Fei Lao, Chu Chen said to Dean Sima, who seemed very anxious, "Dean Sima, are you here by car today?" ”
"Oh! When I came, I happened to be outside, and a friend sent me here. Dean Sima replied.
"Your friend's car looks like it's gone when it just came, right?"
"Yes!"
"Either I'll send you back, otherwise you won't be able to get the guqin."
"Okay!"
After all, it is a valuable guqin, and it is not too much to beat or squeeze the bus, seeing Chu Chen say this, Dean Sima was not hypocritical, and directly agreed.
Seeing that he agreed, Chu Chen took him to his car, and asked as he walked: "Dean Sima, you just said that Fei Yu took Fei Lao's appraisal certificate to make a false testimony, so how could the other party see it immediately?" ”
Dean Sima laughed when he heard this, and said, "Actually, this matter has something to do with you. ”
"Something to do with me?" Chu Chen was a little confused by these words.
"yes!" Dean Sima couldn't help but smile: "Because on that certificate, your name is written!" ”
Chu Chen couldn't figure out such an answer, he said dumbfounded: "How can there be my name...... Oh! ”
Seeing Chu Chen's sudden appearance, Dean Sima smiled and said, "How about it, figure it out!" ”
Chu Chen nodded, he had been on Beijing TV's "Collecting the World", and it was indeed possible for experts to write his name. But Fei Yu clearly said that his things were identified in March last year, when he was still a nobody, not to mention "Collecting the World", even in Panjiayuan, there are not many people who know him, and Fei Yu's brain doesn't know how it grows, so he will write him up!
"Strange to me!" Dean Sima shook his head and said with a smile: "The reason why this kind of thing happened is mainly because the person who gave false testimony was your admirer, and he subconsciously wrote your name on it, as for Fei Yu, how could he, a guy who doesn't learn and has no skills, know that you only appeared on the show in January......"
