The time of the party is seven o'clock in the evening, of course, tonight's party is mainly to contact everyone's feelings, and there are no hard and fast rules on the time, but the old-timers are here, and you are still late, so it is a little too much to say.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Chu Chen thought that no one would come again, but he didn't expect that as soon as he thought so, he saw a middle-aged man with a smile on his face, and he was followed by a young man in his thirties, only to see that he was still holding a brocade box in his hand.

As soon as the middle-aged man came in, he arched his hand to everyone: "I heard that the seniors are here today to exchange experiences, I really can't help but come and listen to it, I hope you don't mind!" ”

Uncle Wu, who was sitting next to Chu Chen, hurriedly introduced Chu Chen to this person who was the organizer of this exchange meeting, Chai Pingle.

At this time, I heard Yu Lao say with a smile: "The people who come here are all friends, Mr. Chai, you don't have to be so polite." ”

As the organizer of this time, Chai Pingle came to participate in an informal gathering, and he had to push people out. Therefore, as soon as Yu Lao's voice fell, many people at the scene echoed and expressed their welcome.

Don't look at Chai Pingle who was only in charge of the company's internal affairs before, but he is also a long-sleeved dancer, and he is also very familiar with antiques, so he became one with everyone after a while.

Seeing this situation, Chu Chen also had to say "amazing".

After contacting the feelings, they began to talk about topics around antiques, such as some gossip and market analysis, which benefited Chu Chen a lot.

After chatting about the surrounding topics. Everyone began to talk about some of the experience of antique identification, although some of their unique skills were not very well spoken. However, many of the experiences that have been accumulated over a long period of time have been very rewarding for all of you. Especially Qi Baofu and Fang Jinbo, they are quite hungry.

At the end of the exchange, Chai Pingle said with a smile: "Seniors, I got a Mi Fu money the day before yesterday to copy the inkstone, from the stone and other aspects, it looks like the real work of the Song Dynasty, but after buying back, I always feel that there is a problem, I don't know if I can ask the seniors to help me see?" ”

"Oh?" Everyone heard that it is Mi Fu's inkstone. All of them were interested.

Xu Lao's temper was more anxious, and he said directly: "Just say that you don't practice fake tricks, since you say so, hurry up and take out the things!" How do we know if it's true or false without seeing it with our own eyes? ”

Chai Pingle smiled and apologized, and then took out the brocade box in the hand of the young man who came in with him just now, and after opening it, he took out a copying inkstone from it.

Copying the inkstone is to chisel the bottom of the inkstone according to a certain specification. Form a space that is low in the front and high in the back, the front end and the two sides are connected, and the three sides form an inkstone foot, which is flat on the ground. Hands can be reached from the back for easy access. It is said that this form was created by Su Dongpo in the Song Dynasty. Because it is solemn and practical. Therefore, it is popular from generation to generation.

Chai Pingle's hand-copying inkstone seems to be carved from the shape of the old pit end stone, and the system is upright and generous, simple and elegant. An ancient poem is engraved on the back. The inscription is "Xiangyang Mi Fu", this inkstone looks deep in color. The pulp is moist, the ancient meaning is strong, how to look at it, how it looks like a genuine product.

Xu Lao is an expert in antiques and miscellaneous items, and after he carefully looked at this hand-copied inkstone, he said with a smile:

"If this is really Mi Fu's own handmade zuò, it is really a very rare treasure."

Although Mi Fu is a famous calligrapher and painter in the Northern Song Dynasty, but because of the love of stone to the point of madness, it is called "Mi Brian".

Mi Fu and Su Dongpo is a good friend, once Su Shi treated, after three rounds of wine, Mi Fu suddenly stood up, aggrieved to the master said: "The world calls me 'Mi Dian', today I want to ask Mr. Dongpo to say a fair word, I am not upside down?" ”

Who knew that Su Dongpo replied with a smile: "I follow the crowd."

The audience burst into laughter. It turns out that these three words are from the Analects? Zihan" is the original words of Master Confucius. Su Shi implicitly hinted at Mi Fu: Look, even the old master Kong has given you a characterization, who do you expect to give you "rehabilitation"?

Mi Fu's table xiàn is indeed just like his nickname, he once moved a strange stone into the apartment to worship, and dressed neatly against the stone bow, the mouth still kept calling "Brother Shi". From this, it can also be seen that Mi Fu loves strange stones to what extent.

Of course, Mi Fu loves strange stones, and he has also made contributions in this regard, such as appreciating strange stones to "thin, transparent, leaky, wrinkled" as the standard, which is his first singing.

It is precisely because Mi Fu loves the stone so much, if this square inkstone is genuine, it is indeed as Xu Lao said, very remarkable.

Chai Pingle heard Xu Lao say this, and couldn't help but ask with some disappointment: "Old Xu, do you mean to say that this Duan inkstone is a fake?" ”

Xu Lao smiled and asked, "When did I say it was a fake?" ”

Chai Pingle was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Then what do you mean?" ”

Xu Lao gave Chai Pingle a slightly calmer gesture: "What are you anxious about, there are still so many people at the scene who haven't seen it, what kind of communication is it when I say it!" ”

Chai Pingle smiled bitterly, the thing is his, of course he is anxious to know the result, but today is mainly communication, even if he is anxious, he can only wait.

Although there were a lot of people seated, some of them were not very good at the identification of the inkstone, so they simply looked at it with others, so after more than half an hour, this copying inkstone returned to Xu Lao.

Xu Lao looked around for a moment, smiled and asked, "What do you think of this inkstone?" Tell me a few young people first! ”

The young people Xu Lao said refers to those under the age of forty, even Chu Chen, there are a total of six, except for Chu Chen who wants to keep a low profile and newcomer Fang Jinbo, the remaining four are looking left and right, all of them are silent, there is no way, those present are the top part of the antique circle, if you make a mistake, you will lose your face.

"O you! All of them are cowards! ”

Xu Lao scolded with a smile, and then said: "Xiao Chu, you are the youngest on the scene, you can say it first, be bold, it doesn't matter if you make a mistake, no matter who you are, you are not born with identification." ”

All of them were called by their own names, of course Chu Chen couldn't shirk it, so he said: "Then I'll say a few words, if there is something wrong, please ask the seniors to correct it." First ......"

Speaking of this, he stepped forward, took the inkstone in his hand, explained it, and then said: "Therefore, no matter in terms of the system and craftsmanship of the inkstone, it is in line with the characteristics of the Song Dynasty, and there is also the pulp and old atmosphere, so that this inkstone does look like a genuine product......"

"Like?" Hearing this, Xu Lao interrupted Chu Chen's words and asked, "Xiao Chu, do you mean to say that this is a fake?" ”

Chu Chen nodded and said: "That's true, of course, if you insist on saying that it's an imitation, it's okay, after all, it's very rare to be able to make it so realistic." ”

At this time, Chai Pingle frowned lightly and asked, "Teacher Chu, take the liberty of asking, what is the reason why you judge that it is a fake?" ”

"Because of its inscriptions and inscriptions."

Chu Chen explained: "Mi Fu calligraphy is characterized by stability, danger is not strange, old not dry, moist not fat, the inscription on this inkstone seems to have met the four requirements, but look carefully, but empty shape, no meaning, this is simply not Mi Fu's true handiwork. In addition, the same is true for payment. ”

Chai Pingle listened to what Chu Chen said, looking left and right, he felt that this word was no different from the real handiwork of Mi Fu in his home, it was really not clear, Chu Chen was right in the end.

This is, Yu Lao said with a smile: "Mr. Chai, don't look at it, just by virtue of your calligraphy and painting appraisal level, you must not see the spirit of Mi Fu calligraphy." ”

Listening to Yu Lao's knowledge, Chai Pingle could only smile bitterly, it seems that his own inkstone is indeed a fake.

Xu Lao was very satisfied with Chu Chen's answer, and asked with a smile: "Xiao Chu, apart from what you said, what else have you discovered?" ”

Chu Chen replied: "In addition to the inscription, in fact, the biggest flaw in this inkstone is its material. ”

"Material?" Chai Pingle couldn't figure it out what Chu Chen said, because no matter how he looked at it, he felt that this inkstone should be an old pit material, and there should be no problem with this.

Chu Chen nodded and said: "Although the material of this inkstone is very similar to the old pit material, it is actually a newly discovered inkstone in recent years, called Shapu stone. ”

"Shapu Stone?" Chai Pingle was very surprised, he had never heard of Shapu Stone before.

Yu Lao said: "Yes, the color of this stone is a little similar to the stone of Laokeng or Mazikeng, and it has some unique stone products of Laokeng inkstone, such as fish brain jelly, banana leaf white, blue and white and even stone eyes. If you don't observe the comparison carefully, it is difficult to distinguish the real from the fake, and I was almost slapped by the old pit inkstone with Shapu stone before. ”

"Actually, this kind of Shapu stone is very good, and good stone can also make an inkstone that has been handed down from generation to generation. Many inkstone masters also use this material, and the new pit inkstone is generously marked, which is acceptable to everyone, and the price is quite high. But some people just like crooked ways and sell them as old pit materials. ”

"Yes, I was miserable by Shapu Stone a few years ago!"

A man of thirty-seven or eighteen said with some resentment: "Shapu material has good material, and it is also very similar to Duanxi stone, so it is very normal to sell Shapu material to customers as pockmarks and pit boys in a certain place." I didn't know much about this kind of material before, and the Mazikeng and Kengziyan I bought were all Shapu materials, and I was deceived by those profiteers for 500,000 or 600,000 yuan! ”

Some people will ask, in that case, why don't men return it?

In fact, the reason is very simple, since they sell so openly, how can they not have a backhand? And once the money is in the hands of these profiteers, it will be extremely difficult to return it.

These people either prevaricate with nonsense such as this kind of stone is a new pit material that is more or less far away from the old pit, or they are simply scoundrels, and the goods can be returned, but they have no money in hand! In this case, where do you go to reason? (To be continued......)
