Chapter 107: The Identification Method of Xuande Furnace
"Fang Wenbin?" This character Zhang Kexin has heard of, and he is very famous in the antique circle, and there are few people who do antique business in Pingchuan, big or small, who don't know him.
However, this person has a somewhat special personality, and there have been many owners of antique shops who want to secretly contact him, asking him to help him participate in some auctions or help identify some things, but in the end, without exception, they all ran into a disgraced face.
"Yes, it's Fang Wenbin."
"Ye Feng, Fang Wenbin is not easy to contact, if you want him to come forward and invite those Taishan Beidou-level characters to come out of the mountain, I'm afraid it will be difficult."
"Sister Zhang, don't worry, Brother Du said that the relationship between Sun Lao and Fang Wenbin is not bad, if he comes forward, Fang Wenbin will definitely agree." Ye Feng smiled and said: "Moreover, the more people like them, the more their love for antiques will exceed the imagination of normal people, if they know that I have a Ming Xuande furnace here, I am afraid they will also be happy to see it......"
"That makes sense." Zhang Kexin said, took out his mobile phone and dialed Grandpa Sun's number.
"Kexin, why did you remember to call Grandpa Sun?" The phone was connected, and Grandpa Sun's old voice rang.
"Grandpa Sun, what are you talking about, when have I forgotten you?" Zhang Kexin said coquettishly, Grandpa Sun and his grandfather are comrades-in-arms who have been on the battlefield together, carried guns, and experienced life and death, in front of Grandpa Sun, Zhang Kexin feels as if he is in front of his own grandfather.
"Tell me, what's the matter?" Grandpa Sun knew that Zhang Kexin would never call him for no reason at this time.
Zhang Kexin said with a smile: "One thing, Grandpa Sun will help you find Fang Wenbin and Dean Fang to ask someone to identify it." ”
"What's that? Your grandfather still can't identify it? ”
"Grandpa Sun, you really can't identify this thing."
"Oh, I'm curious?"
"Three-legged and amphoral Daming Xuande furnace ......," Zhang Kexin slowly spit out a few words.
Silent......
Zhang Kexin's voice fell, and Grandpa Sun's side became silent like never before, so quiet that he could clearly hear the other party's breathing through the phone, a little short.
Three-legged and two-eared Ming Xuande furnace, Sun Lao clearly knows the meaning and value of this thing, even if it is placed in any museum in the world, it can be regarded as the existence of the treasure of the town.
"Kexin, you're not kidding Grandpa Sun, are you?" Sun Lao said in disbelief.
"Grandpa Sun, do you think I'll joke with you about this kind of thing?"
Silence......
This time, Grandpa Sun's side fell silent as if he was dead, and it seemed that even his breathing and heartbeat had stopped.
"Kexin, you come over immediately with your things now, I'll wait for you at home, I'll take a look first, and if I can't see the problem, I'll take you to find Lao Fang again." After a short silence, Grandpa Sun said excitedly: "Hurry up, you must be fast, come as fast as possible, the sooner the better." ”
"Well, we'll get over right away." Zhang Kexin answered and hung up the phone, turned his eyes to Ye Feng and continued: "Let's go, Grandpa Sun is waiting for us at home now, saying that he will take us to see Fang Wenbin and Elder Fang if he sees that there is no problem, let's go." ”
Getting up, the chick walked out.
Ye Feng nodded, picked up the Xuande furnace, and walked out after him.
"Boss Zhang, Xiao Ye, are you going out?" Seeing the two of them coming down from upstairs, Li Liang greeted him warmly.
"Master Li......" Stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling person, Ye Feng greeted with a smile.
As for Zhang Kexin, she just nodded lightly, this girl will also show the appearance of a little woman in front of Ye Feng.
After Ye Feng and Zhang Kexin came out of Tianyun Xuan, Li Yun came over and gritted his teeth and said, "Second uncle, look at Ye Feng's kid's villainous appearance!" ”
Li Liang stared at the backs of the two of them, and snorted coldly: "Grasshoppers after autumn, see how many days they can jump." The expression on his face became even more gloomy.
"Second uncle, when are we going to start?" Li Yun said with a sinister face.
"Don't ask so much, work hard first, and I'll let you know when I do."
“……”
"Zhang Kexin, you are unkind to me, don't blame me for being unjust. People die for money, birds die for food, since Tianyunxuan can't tolerate me, no wonder I have to make plans for myself......" Retracting his gaze, Li Liang said expressionlessly.
After experiencing some of the previous things, he knew that his position in Zhang Kexin's heart had fallen to the bottom, and the reason why Zhang Kexin stayed and continued to work in Tianyunxuan was just because of his past feelings from the opening of Tianyunxuan to the present, and in the store until now.
Half an hour later, the villa where Mr. Sun was, as soon as the two drove to the door, they saw Grandpa Sun anxiously going back and forth in the yard.
Seeing Zhang Kexin's car, Sun Lao hurriedly opened the gate of the villa yard, Ye Feng drove into the villa, found a place to park the car, and walked out of the car with Zhang Kexin.
"Xiao Ye, Kexin, what about the three-legged and two-eared Ming Xuande furnace you said on the phone?" Seeing the appearance of the two with empty hands, Sun Lao said anxiously.
Ye Feng opened the trunk with a smile and took out the three-legged and two-eared Daming Xuande furnace: "Grandpa Sun, that's it." ”
When Sun Lao saw the Ming Xuande Furnace, his eyes straightened, he was stunned for a moment at first, and then snatched the Xuande Furnace from Ye Feng's arms.
Start, it gives a heavy feeling.
"Let's go, let's go inside." Sun Lao turned around with the Xuande furnace in his arms and hurriedly walked into the villa.
Ye Feng and Zhang Kexin smiled at each other, and followed behind, just like Du Yu analyzed, the more this kind of character with a high status in antiques, the more difficult it is to control his emotions when facing something of great value and significance like the Xuande Furnace of the Ming Dynasty.
This is just like a gambling stone master's dedication to gambling stones, for these people who really like antiques, there is nothing that can stimulate the desire in their hearts more than those really meaningful antiques.
This desire has nothing to do with money.
Entering the villa, Ye Lao sat down on the sofa and began to carefully study this three-legged and two-eared Daming Xuande furnace.
Xuande furnace, for the Ming Dynasty Xuande period to create the incense burner, usually used in mausoleums, temples, and the city's homes to burn incense, worship Buddha, worship ancestors.
During the three hundred years of the Ming Dynasty, countless utensils were manufactured, which can be superior, Xuande furnace is definitely the best among them, it can be said that there is no way to teach before, and there is no way to continue, it can be said that Xuande furnace is a synonym for the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, after the Xuande years of the Ming Dynasty, this casting and knife carving process is like being lost, and no one can do it anymore.
This is also an important reason why the Xuande furnace of the Ming Dynasty is very precious.
The Xuande furnace of the Ming Dynasty was personally supervised by the Emperor Xuande of the Ming Dynasty, and the number of casts was extremely rare at that time, and it was even rarer after it was handed down to modern times.
According to incomplete statistics, there are less than ten fingers of the genuine Ming Xuande furnace known at present.
"The Ming Xuande furnace is divided into one, two, four, and six characters of four kinds of knowledge, this is the six-character knowledge of the 'Ming Xuande year', and the six-character style is the rarest of the four types of knowledge, which means that if this thing is genuine, the value is much higher than the value of the general one, two, and four-character knowledge......" Sun Lao stared at the bottom of the copper furnace and studied it carefully, and said slowly.
This is the basic common sense of the Xuande furnace of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Kexin is the boss of Tianyunxuan, Ye Feng has also been an apprentice in Tianyunxuan for more than two years before, this common sense is still known, after Sun Lao finished speaking, the two nodded at the same time, which can be regarded as a response.
The basic shape of the Xuande furnace is generally open, square or round lips, the neck is short and thin, the flat belly, the three obtuse conical solid feet or the crotch empty feet, the mouth is placed on the bridge-shaped ears or animal-shaped ears, the characteristics of the Xuande furnace are many raw materials, in addition to copper, there are precious materials such as gold and silver added, so the furnace is particularly delicate, dark purple or black-brown. The second is that there are many smelting times, and the general furnace has to go through four refining, while the Xuande furnace needs twelve refining, so the furnace quality will be more pure and fine, and the skin will be delicate like a baby.
The identification of Xuande furnace starts from several aspects, first, color. The color of the real furnace is hidden inside, reflecting a dim and strange light, brilliant and natural, and soft; And the pseudo-one shines on the outside, and it is not naturally generated.
Second, a sense of heaviness. The real official Ming Xuande furnace, whether it is round or square, whether it is a bridge ear, a semi-ring ear, or a pottery ear and other similar types, the rich and simple is true, and the frivolous is false.
The third is the paragraph knowledge, the real Ming Xuande furnace is divided into one, two, four, six characters four kinds of knowledge, respectively'Xuan', 'Xuande', 'Ming Xuande', 'Ming Xuande year', these four types of knowledge are italics, the font is regular, the structure is rigorous. And the fake Xuande furnace, most of them are 'Ming Xuande year' six-character knowledge, and there are many random books, the font is irregular and loose.
Five for gilt or loose gold, the real Xuande furnace, the gold water is very thick, yellow flashing white, the fake is uneven, the gold water is thin, uneven, frivolous.
In short, the wonder of the Xuande furnace lies in the color, the fake Xuande furnace color is dazzling on the outside, the real Xuande furnace color is integrated into the inner quality, and the Xuande furnace itself has been integrated, blooming a wonderful luster from the dullness.
Sun Lao carefully identified several aspects, and kept nodding his head while carefully looking at it.
"Grandpa Sun, how's it going?" Seeing Sun Lao like this, Zhang Kexin said with joy in his heart.
The meaning of the expression was obvious, at least in Sun Lao's opinion, this thing should be real.
Ye Feng didn't have much performance, he already knew the result of the things that he had been identified by his ability, but it was too difficult to identify the authenticity of this thing, if he didn't find those Taishan Beidou-level characters to come out of the mountain for identification, even if he knew that it was true, others would not believe it.
"But judging from a few points on the outside, this thing should be genuine, and it is also the rarest six-character knowledge." Sun Lao said slowly, and the old cheeks couldn't hide the excited look.
The six-character Daming Xuande furnace, this is only such a collection in the Forbidden City Museum, Sun Lao did not expect that one day he could hold such a thing and look at it so carefully.
Of course, Sun Lao just felt that this thing should be genuine based on his own feelings, and the specific authenticity still had to wait for Fang Wenbin to be brought to Fang Wenbin and invited several Taishan Beidou-level characters who had previously appraised the Daming Xuande furnace in the Palace Museum to identify it, so as to get the final result.
"In fact, there is a very important way to identify the Xuande furnace, and it is difficult for anyone to cheat from this method." After a moment's pause, Elder Sun continued.
"What's the solution?" Ye Feng and Zhang Kexin asked excitedly in unison.
