Chapter 5 True and False "Qianlong Tongbao"

In the past few days, Xu Yang has always thought that what happened that day is not like a dream, because it is too real, but after the fourth child went out, Xu Yang opened his copycat computer and took a look, it was running normally, of course the disc game could not be played. This is also normal, it is too normal that pirated games cannot be played. The other thing is also a ride-in.

And these days, he didn't find that he was any different, and he didn't have any electric abilities like those people in the novel, and the things that saved the world didn't happen to him. It seems that I am really thinking too much!

The days passed, and in a blink of an eye, it was the weekend again, and now Xu Yang is a little celebrity in the size of "Tianbaoxuan", a bookish person, honest, diligent and helpful! Everyone likes this little guy very much! The boss of "Tianbaoxuan" even called the second child and said that if there is Xu Yang like this, he will be sent here!

Of course, Xu Yang has now begun to officially sell the goods in the store in addition to miscellaneous work, and he also earns commission bonuses. Now that the country is developing rapidly, the people have become more and more wealthy, and the 10,000 households have been everywhere like ants now, and now there is no billions of net worth to say that they are big!

Therefore, the rise of the antique industry has also become an inevitable phenomenon, when people were not full of food where there was money to play these, now it is different, every family has a small spare money, playing some antiques is also considered to be an elegant play, in one point is, now the TV station treasure column is particularly much, there will always be some hundreds of dollars to buy a small object, and the real value of the treasure is identified as tens of millions!

Greed for small and cheap is the inferiority of many people, and the most common thing is that there are many people who think that they have learned a little bit of skin, so they dare to buy things, of course, the final result is to "hit the eye" and "pay the tuition"! But even so, they are not tired of it!

On Saturdays and Sundays, "Tianbaoxuan" will be very busy, even if the boss sometimes comes to greet some celebrities and big collectors!

Today is Saturday. Xu Yang has already come to Tianbaoxuan at seven o'clock in the morning, although he said that he only started work at eight o'clock in the morning, but the boss here gave him a bite to eat when he was in difficulty, whether it was the relationship between the second child or not, in short, Xu Yang was still very grateful to repay him!

"Yo! Xiao Xu is here so early again!" Shopkeeper Sun also came early, people of his age don't sleep as much as young people, so he will come early every day to sort out the accounts. Get ready for the day!

"yes! I'm here anyway!" After Xu Jin entered the store, he began to clean and wipe the prices, of course, he is still only wiping handicrafts!

Shopkeeper Sun, who sorted out the accounts, looked at Xu Yang and nodded secretly, there are very few young people like this now. Not hypocritical, not pretentious, do more and talk less, just ask if you don't understand, and everyone is the same! The most important thing is that after Xu Yang puts on the work clothes in the store, he has the temperament of an ancient scholar!

"Let's rest for a while, Xiao Xu come over and drink some tea!" said Shopkeeper Sun looking at Xu Yang, who was busy.

"Oh, don't be tired, you'll be fine soon!" Xu Yang did not put down the work in his hand, but came to Shopkeeper Sun after finishing the rest of the work!

"Hehe! Come to Xiao Xu, take a sip of tea!" he said and poured Xu Yang a cup of tea. Xu Yang respectfully took the tea, took a sip and said, "Good tea!"

"Hehe, come to Xiao Xu, I'll test you, see what I taught you a few days ago, have you learned? There are ten "Qianlong Tongbao" here, but there are real and false here, can you identify them for me?"

These days, Xu Yang will always ask some antique knowledge, and the people in "Tianbaoxuan" have a very good impression of Xu Yang, so no matter who it is, as long as Xu Yang asks questions, he will give answers, of course, Xu Yang asks some very simple questions, after all, Xu Yang is just a "junior brother" who has just entered the industry!

The day before yesterday, Xu Yang asked Shopkeeper Sun some questions about ancient coins, and there was nothing to do that day, so Shopkeeper Sun taught some identification of ancient coins!

Looking at the ten ancient coins in front of him, all of them are "Qianlong Tongbao"! "Qianlong Tongbao" because it is rumored among the people to wear "Qianlong Tongbao" copper coins can drive away disasters and ward off evil spirits, and because of the homonym of the word Qianlong "Qianlong", it is loved by collectors in later generations!

It is also because of this that most of the modern handicrafts circulating on the market, although the real "Qianlong Tongbao" is not very expensive, but because the circulation is particularly large, the real supply is in short supply. So there are a lot of outlaws forging a lot of imitations!

Looking at the ten ancient coins in front of him, Xu Yang looked carefully one by one, each one was very careful, and the most afraid of playing antiques were those who were less than half a bottle. I think I know very well, and I look at things so-so! It's no wonder that such people don't suffer.

Of course, in about ten minutes, Xu Yang finished reading these ten "Qianlong Tongbao"! He picked up an ancient coin from it, and then compared it with the others and said: "Sun Lao's one should be the real Qianlong Tongbao, and the others should be modern imitations!"

"Oh, tell me, why do you say that this big coin is real, and the others are fake, I didn't say that there are a few big coins here that are real!

"Well, then I'm looking!" Xu Yang knew that he was a novice, so he continued to look at it carefully, this time more carefully than last time, but after reading it, he still took the "Qianlong Tongbao" in his hand and said: "Sun Lao, I still think that this one is the real "Qianlong Tongbao", and the others are modern handicrafts!"

Xu Yang didn't sway his appraisal results because of Sun Lao's words, and said with the big money.

"Since your appraisal result is like this, then tell me the reason for your appraisal!" said the shopkeeper Sun with a smile.

First of all, I will follow the method you taught me to look at the ancient coins, and first look at their copper quality: the copper coins in the early Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty were all made of copper, lead, and zinc, and were called "yellow coins." In the fifth year of Qianlong, it was stipulated that two percent of the tin should be added to the copper material for coinage, which was called "green money". In the 50th year of Qianlong, "Qianlong Tongbao" and "Red Money" (also known as Pur money, "Poole" means money in Uyghur language) in Xinjiang, of course, most of the "green money" in circulation on the market is now. And the one in my hand is the "green coin". The colors of the other coins were similar, except for one that was so rough that you could tell at first glance that it was a fake!

After looking at the copper, I went on to look at the rust color! These ancient coins are more than 100 years old, so the formation of patina is nothing more than that: one is excavated, and the other is heirloom. The excavated items have been buried underground for many years, and their surfaces are covered in patina. Due to oxidation in the air, there is a layer of slurry on the surface. It is black or copper-colored! There are several kinds of patina that can be seen with the naked eye to be made in modern times, so I won't talk about this for now!

The third is to look at the inscription of the casting city: Qianlong Tongbao of the Qing Dynasty, generally speaking, the Beijing Bureau uses Song style, the Baozhejiang Bureau uses regular script, and the Baoshan and Baochuan bureaus use official scripts, but most local money bureaus use Song style!

Fourth, listen to the sound. However, this method is indeed a little difficult for the coins of the Ming and Qing dynasties, the coins unearthed before the Ming and Qing dynasties, due to the texture, the older the age, the fire is exhausted, the more serious the oxidation, the more hoarse the sound of throwing it on the cement floor, of course, the Ming and Qing dynasties, if this sound appears, it may be fake!

The fifth is to understand the method of casting, which I really don't know much about now, so I won't express my opinion!

The sixth smell is actually suitable for the identification of many ancient coins. This method is one of the simplest of the ancient coin identifications. Because many of the imitations of ancient coins are forged with some chemicals, they will sprinkle some unpleasant and pungent smell on the coins!

The seventh is to look at the version, I took a look, no matter how the imitation is like, there will not be the kind of sadness precipitated by the history of the real product, the most important thing is that Sun Lao took out these coins, in addition to this one, although the imitation is good, but you can see the truth if you look closely.

So I think that the "Qianlong Tongbao" in my hand is the only genuine one of these coins, I don't know if what the kid said is right, and I ask Sun Lao to teach me!"

Xu Yang said a bunch of things freely, these are what he is learning these days, and some of them are what he learned in the reading room of Jinghua University, the internal collection of books in Jinghua University is not much worse than the national reading room, and there are some unique books that I heard that the national reading room does not necessarily have!

"Hahaha! Yes, yes! Xiao Xu, it seems that you have really worked hard, looking at the knowledge on ancient coins, in terms of theory, you kid is already quite good, and now the difference is just practice and experience!

Sun Lao is very happy, old people like them like Xu Yang, who are modest and self-motivated and willing to work hard! Of course, Huigen still has to have it, otherwise he can't put what he has learned into practice, and if he learns, he will learn in vain!

"Old Sun, I will be embarrassed if you praise me like this, I am at this level, but I don't deserve your old man to say that!" After Xu Yang heard the praise of the shopkeeper Sun, he hurriedly waved his hand and said.

"Hehe! Xiao Xu, Lao Sun's words are not a compliment at all, I didn't expect the current Chuqing people to be so studious!" At this time, an old voice from behind came to Xu Yang's ears!

Xu Yang hurriedly turned around and saw three people standing behind him, Xu Yang has known each other here for a month, one is the boss here, and the other is about sixty years old, wearing a blue Tang costume old man, is Fang Yun, a jade identification expert here, I heard that he used to be the director of the Chinese Folk Jade Association!

The other one looks a lot older, this Xu Yang has also seen a few times, often come to "Tianbaoxuan", this old man is called Dongfang Rui! It is said that he is a very famous folk collector!

The one who spoke was this old gentleman named Dongfang Rui!
