Chapter 45: The Mahaprajnaparamita Heart Sutra
The others couldn't bear it anymore, so they bent down to pick up the pieces on the ground, picked up the magnifying glass in front of them and studied it back and forth.
Li Quan and Wei Degang saw what they looked like, took a few photos with a magnifying glass, didn't see any signs, and finally shrugged their shoulders and gave up.
After a few minutes, Gao Gang put the magnifying glass on the table, still with a look of disbelief on his face. After a while, he threw the pieces on the ground and sighed bitterly: "I didn't expect that one of my favorite pieces of porcelain that I have always treasured is really a fake, I opened an antique shop, but let others get it, it's really ironic." ”
It was a few other people who also put pieces on the ground, the vase was not broken, and they could have an argument. Now judging from the fragments, and after being reminded by Su Zhe, it was quickly identified as a modern work product.
At this time, Jin Daban walked up to Su Zhe and apologized: "Brother Su Zhe, I'm really sorry, I scolded you without asking the reason, I hope you don't take it to heart." ”
It is natural to say the wrong thing, do the wrong thing, admit the mistake and apologize. But there are very few people who can really pull down their faces and do this kind of thing. Jin Taipan was able to become the president of the Antiques Association, and in addition to his ability to connoisseurship, this humble behavior was his main capital.
Gao Gang also apologized for his rude behavior, but Chairman Chen turned his face away. Let him apologize to a kid who hasn't grown all the hair, he can't pull this face down.
Su Zhe naturally didn't expect Chairman Chen to whisper to him, and when he saw Jin Daban ordering someone to come over and sweep away the fragments, he asked casually: "Store Manager Gao, where did you get this blue and white glaze red vase?"
This question is also wanted to be asked by those present, after all, Gao Gang is an expert. Although antiques look away, this person will have this kind of mistake no matter how high his connoisseurship is. But if they know where to start, they can be wary the next time they go there.
Gao Gang saw that everyone was interested, and smiled helplessly and said: "This blue and white glaze red was obtained by chance when I went to Jingdezhen a few years ago. Porcelain has been fired since the Tang Dynasty and has been going on until now. The blue and white glaze red was only fired during the Yuan Dynasty, and in the early years of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, they set up the only royal service porcelain bureau in Jingdezhen. Although it was for the royal family, it was the local people who participated in the firing. ”
"Until the second year of Hongwu, on the basis of the Fuliang Porcelain Bureau established in the Yuan Dynasty, the Imperial Kiln Factory was established, that is, the 'Hongwuguan Kiln'. However, it was Zhu Yuanzhang who was the emperor at that time, and in the early years, some folk workshops fired porcelain to avoid trouble, so they naturally praised the emperor as the main thing. Therefore, in terms of patterns, dragons and phoenixes are not uncommon. ”
Speaking of this, Gao Gang paused and smiled bitterly, "At that time, I thought I had picked up a big leak, but you must know that the difference between the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty is not the same grade." If it weren't for Brother Su seeing that it was a fake and breaking the vase today, I would still have regarded it as a real antique. I didn't expect to be pecked by geese all day long. This is also a lesson, it seems that no matter what year it is, you should not be overconfident. ”
After speaking, Gao Gang deliberately glanced at Chairman Zhu, snorted lightly behind him, and ignored it.
After everyone heard this, everyone looked at Su Zhe again, and they didn't dare to think that he was a layman anymore.
To avoid embarrassing Chairman Chen, Jin Taipan quickly transferred the appreciation items to the inkstone brought by Ma Tianze.
Just then did Chairman Chen's thorny sentences make his heart unhappy, and he smashed the vase with a hot head. I thought it was out of control, but fortunately, with the help of the clairing eye, I saw that it was a fake, which made Su Zhe breathe a sigh of relief.
Next, Su Zhe didn't dare to pretend to be a big-headed ghost anymore, and he also looked at the inkstone a few times, it should belong to the late Qing Dynasty, or a little earlier, but he didn't say anything again.
Ma Tian is a nouveau riche, but attending this kind of exchange meeting is an elegant grade, and the things taken out will never be modern artifacts.
As the others began to discuss the year of the inkstone, Su Zhe sat back in his chair. Wei Degang leaned over and whispered in his ear, "Brother Su, you really have a hand." The gambling stone is already impressive, but I didn't expect the identification of antiques to be so coaxing, and I can't admire it. ”
Su Zhe said humbly: "Brother Wei is washing me, he was just lucky just now." When I was in high school, I was interested in history, especially ancient history. Before gambling on stones, my family was in a difficult situation, and I worked many part-time jobs, including a month in a museum. But it's just sorting out documents and the like.,I haven't touched it.,But I'm a little impressed by dealing with this kind of thing.。 ”
Su Zhe said half-truths, he did work part-time in the museum, but he was a security guard, and he was responsible for patrolling the door every day, and he hardly went inside much.
Wei Degang has no doubt about it, and he has investigated Su Zhe's family background. Although I don't know the situation in his hometown, at least I know about the situation in his more than a year of college.
Ma Tianze's inkstone Su Zhe did not see much difference, and it was indeed an item from the late Qing Dynasty. Next, everyone appreciated the things brought by others, and Su Zhe did not participate again. During this period, Jin Daban asked him to speak, but this time he followed the opinions of the public.
It was because of the blue and white glazed red porcelain, every time Su Zhe spoke, Chairman Chen always had to sneer a few words in a weird manner. Su Zhe was speechless in his heart, that guy was really competing with him. From Li Quan and Wei Degang, it was learned that Chairman Chen's name was Chen Maochuang, and he was the chairman of a jewelry company.
However, the jewelry company mainly does foreign business, and the domestic market does not participate too much, Li Quan and Wei Degang are in the jewelry business, and there is not much conflict.
Most of the people who make jewelry will play gambling stones and collect antiques, because in terms of connoisseurship, because they have been engaged in this profession for a long time, they are indeed better than people in other industries in distinguishing the authenticity.
After appreciating the things brought by several other people, the brown box brought by Qian Lao was left.
Jin Daban walked up to Qian Lao and said in a respectful tone: "Qian Lao, this is what you brought today, now please open the box and let everyone see what it is." ”
Qian Lao lifted the lid on the top of the box, and it was a scroll, which was the same as Su Zhe's judgment after looking at it with perspective before. Jin Taipan also guessed that it was a scroll, and after Qian Lao took out the scroll from the box, he asked people to bring a few tables to lengthen it.
As Qian Lao slowly unfolded the scroll, the first thing that caught his eye was the words 'Maha Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra'.
Probably because of the age of storage, the paper on it has several chips, and it can even be seen from the ends and sides that it has been repaired.
Qian Lao carefully spread it out, and when the entire scroll was fully unfolded, Su Zhemu was about three meters long and one meter wide. The above "Mahaprajnaparamita Heart Sutra" is a copy of the block letters. However, Su Zhe remembered that italics had been used for a long time. It is difficult to guess which dynasty the block letters on the scroll in front of you are.
However, in the final inscription, it is the thirty-third year of Hongwu, which can confirm the year of the scroll. However, then Su Zhe was a little puzzled, judging from the paper, preservation and repair of the scroll, this should be genuine. Since this is the case, there is no need for identification at all, so what is the purpose of this Qian Lao bringing it over today?
Su Zhe actually likes this scroll a lot, but looking at people of Qian Lao's age, he probably won't auction this scroll later. He thought that if the price was not high, he could consider taking a photo.
Regardless of whether Qian Lao would use it for auction or not, Su Zhe still opened his perspective eye to confirm the authenticity of this scroll first.
Sweeping from the beginning to the end, the information fed back from the scroll to the eyes is indeed a thing of the Ming Dynasty. It's a bit of a pity that it seems to have been repaired in the inscription, thus reducing the value of the scroll itself.
After retracting his perspective eye, Su Zhe sighed slightly, and turned his gaze to the place.
"Hey, it's strange, it's different from what I just saw. ”
Su Zhe thought he had made a mistake, so he took a closer look and looked closer. There were no traces of repair with the naked eye, Su Zhe stared at his eyebrows and thought for a while, and then opened the perspective eye.
This will add another trace of repair. With the phenomenon just now, Su Zhe looked at it more carefully. This time he finally saw that the patched mark was not on the surface, but in the middle. In other words, there is a small mezzanine inside the scroll. But Su Zhe felt strange, judging from the patched paper, the year was the same as the year on the scroll.
Could it be that he made a mistake when he made a payment and then covered it with another piece of paper?
Su Zhe soon rejected the idea, because there were no traces of repair on the joints of the entire scroll. Under the penetration of the perspective eye, Su Zhe saw that there were strokes under the patched paper, and the font was not clear. Without hesitation, Su Zhe activated the piercing eye.
This time he saw very clearly, there is indeed a payment below, but it is not how many years Hongwu has been.
Su Zhe was surprised at first, but after thinking about it, he understood the reason.
Qian Lao had been paying attention to Su Zhe's young man's actions, and saw that he frowned at first, and then his brows stretched again, as if he had found something wrong, and then he was confirmed.
After everyone finished reading it, Jin Daban spoke first: "Old Qian, I think this "Mahaprajnaparamita Heart Sutra" is indeed a genuine work. From the strokes of the block letters, it can be seen that it is the style of the Ming Dynasty. ”
Gao Gang, Chen Maochuang and others have no objections, Jin Taipan can become the president of the Antiques Association, in addition to his sociability, he is not inferior in antique appreciation. Although Gao Gang opened an antique shop, he had relatively little contact with calligraphy and painting. However, the scroll in front of me, based on years of experience, is judged to be an item of the Ming Dynasty, which is not wrong.
After everyone expressed their opinions, the expression on Qian Lao's face did not change. He turned his head to look at Su Zhe and said, "Young man, do you have any other different opinions?"
