Chapter 398: Librarian He's Spiritual Journey
On the way back to the museum, as long as there is a traffic light waiting for the traffic light along the way, the curator He will look back at Zhang Yang, looking like he wants to say something.
It seems that there are a lot of things that he can't say, and he feels sorry for him when he sees it.
"Lao He, you've seen me sixteen times, if you have anything to say, just say it." Zhang Yang said with a smile, "Don't wait until the Chinese New Year to say it to spoil everyone's mood." β
"Curator, I don't mean anything else, I just think it's ......"
ββ¦β¦ I think that in fact, sometimes, those things that pass with one eye and one eye closed are not necessary, so serious, right? β
"Which one?" Zhang Yang asked rhetorically, "Is it like the kiln factory, or is it like the restoration studio?" β
"It's pretty much the same." Librarian He said with some confusion, "In fact, even if what they did happened in the end, we are only jointly and severally responsible." β
"You don't even have to pay a fine, you just have to cooperate with the investigation."
"What's more, now they're just in the gray area, and they don't necessarily break the law."
"I know what you mean." Zhang Yang nodded.
"But it's just from your own point of view, or from the museum's point of view, if you think about it from the perspective of those collectors, or even if you think about the whole environment, it's completely different."
This thing is like the game environment, if a game is full of boosting, cheating, actors, etc., although some high-end players will not be affected, but in the end the game is cold, do you fight with yourself left and right?
Zhang Yang thought about it and felt that he couldn't explain it clearly, so he asked:
"Lao He, do you have time after the New Year? Why don't you go with me to Handong Province at the end of February? β
"Traveling?" Librarian He asked.
"Forget it, but the main thing is to improve your state of mind." Zhang Yang smiled slightly, his smile was quite mysterious, "I feel that Lao He you have been working in the museum for too long, and you don't know the situation of ordinary collectors now, and you are a little floating in mid-air, a little far from the ground." β
"It's time to go live and get a good feel for it."
"Okay." Librarian He nodded as if he didn't understand and agreed.
β¦β¦
The Spring Festival holiday passed in a flash.
At the end of February, everyone from Yangming's studio, together with Librarian He, gathered together in Handong Province.
γLight of HailinγTreasure Auction Handong Station was officially launched.
On the day of the event, the work team around Zhang Yang was unprecedentedly strong.
Sister Gao is responsible for maintaining order on the spot, Xu Jie is responsible for the live broadcast, Xiao Tang is responsible for registering the collection, and Librarian He, Zhang Yang gave him a very difficult task:
Responsible for interviewing those treasurers who fell for the collection after Zhang Yang has identified it, and recording the source and details of their collection.
Before the official start, Zhang Yang also specially reminded Librarian He:
"I'm in charge of miscellaneous identification, so there are more sources of fakes than all the other experts combined, Lao He, if you're too tired, you can ask Sister Gao for help."
"It's fine." Librarian He nodded confidently, "Curator, don't worry, I also followed Mr. Wang to the countryside to collect goods before, I have studied these things, and my communication skills are very strong." β
"That's good." Zhang Yang secretly refueled Librarian He in his heart.
Soon, the appraisal began.
The first friend who came up was a big man.
There are a lot of tall people in Handong Province, and there is still a lot of oppression when standing in front of the appraisal table.
But as soon as Zhang Yang saw his collection, he was instantly happy.
A piece of jade.
The shape is like a jade with three teeth, and it is also like a blade in a cutting machine, and is often called "tooth bi" by collectors.
This kind of thing was originally supposed to be a tool used by the ancients to weave ropes, and then gradually developed into a ritual vessel.
The earliest discovery of jade Xuanji was in the Dawenkou culture 5,000 years ago, and the main site of the Dawenkou culture is in the territory of Handong Province.
Seeing jade Xuanji in Handong Province is equivalent to seeing Buddha statues in Jin Province, bronzes of Shang and Zhou Dynasty in Central Plains Province, and yellow coats of the children of the Eight Banners in Yanjing.
It's a pity that Zhang Yang cooperated with the expert teams of Qingzhou Museum and Handong Provincial Museum in this treasure appreciation activity, and Mr. Bai, who was specifically responsible for identifying ancient jade, did not come, so it was not good to directly push this person to the jade identification expert next door.
You still have to show yourself.
"Baoyou, is this jade Xuanji ancestral heirloom, or is it dug up?"
"Ancestral." Baoyou replied quickly, obviously thinking of the answer a long time ago.
"How many years has it been?"
"Thirty-seven years."
"Oh? That's a big problem. Zhang Yang touched his chin and said with a smile, "This piece of yours looks like it should be a modern machine carving craft, and it is conservatively estimated that it should be a handicraft in the last ten years." β
"Was it that when you put it at home, it was secretly replaced by a thief......
"Really?" Baoyou was a little hesitant at first, but his tone quickly changed, "No, how can I be a machine carving?" β
"You see, there's a lot of machinework here." Zhang Yang pointed to the cutting line on the tooth and explained.
"It's not like it, teacher, can you take a look again?"
ββ¦β¦β
When Zhang Yang appraised, Librarian He not only listened carefully beside him, but also paid attention to the expression of this treasure friend who came to identify jade.
Baoyou was very confident at first;
When I heard that it was a handicraft, it was a little wilted;
But when he glanced at the jade on the table, his expression became firm again.
But in the end, he obeyed and bowed down under the hall of knowledge that was flamboyant and profound.
When Zhang Yang persuaded this treasure friend to retire, Librarian He hurriedly greeted him.
"Hello collector, I am the staff responsible for registering the collection information here, and there are a few more information I want to know."
Librarian He greeted each other very politely.
He was holding the form he had made when he went back to the hotel overnight last night, and he was very professional.
However, Baoyou, who had just been denied by Zhang Yang, was very irritable:
"Didn't your experts all say there was something wrong with my stuff? What else is there to say? β
"Baoyou, don't worry."
"The conclusion just now is only the opinion of Master Zhang himself, and does not represent the opinion of the organizer of the event." Librarian He flickered according to Zhang Yang's words given in advance, "Besides, I think it's fake now, and it's very likely that the academic level has not developed to that point." β
"Maybe in a few years, our archaeologists will excavate the jade Xuanji processed by the machine assembly line in other ancient tombs, and your treasure will have an archaeological basis!"
"Yes...... Is it? Baoyou's brow furrowed.
Librarian He's words against his will sounded a little reasonable to him.
Who said there was no machining line 5,000 years ago?
Doesn't it mean that the origin of human civilization is likely to be extraterrestrial civilization? It's normal for aliens to be able to machine jade Xuanji.
Maybe you can dig up a lathe from 5,000 years ago!
"But what are you registering my information for?"
"Of course, when the situation changes in the future, I can notify you in time." Librarian He said with a smile.
His words are really not bluffing, if it is really Zhang Yang's eyes, then it is not impossible to call and change the appraisal results again.
However, considering that Zhang Yang's identification mainly relies on plug-ins, this is actually a scene.
"Okay, give me the watch."
Baoyou cooperated and took the folder in Librarian He's hand and spent three minutes filling out the forms inside.
After he left, Librarian He opened the form and took a look.
[The real source of the collection]: online shopping in the comic live broadcast room.
[Purchase fee (converted into RMB)]: 20,000.
"20,000 yuan to buy this thing?"
Librarian He sensed that something was wrong.
He seems to have somewhat understood the meaning of Zhang Yang, but he didn't understand it thoroughly.
At this time, the second treasure friend was also identified.
But what people do is real.
It is estimated that he saw the first treasure friend looking for Librarian He to register just now, and after the second treasure friend finished the identification, he also walked in the direction of Librarian He.
But Zhang Yang stretched out his hand to stop him.
then pointed to Xiao Tang's location and motioned to the other party: The real product is looking for a beautiful woman to register.
Another hidden meaning is: fakes only find bad old men to register.
β¦β¦
The third treasure friend took out a "crown".
It is the hat with a large board on the head of the ancient emperor and a jade bead curtain hanging from the front and back.
"This stuff is kind of interesting......
It was the first time Zhang Yang had seen a baby like the crown, and many viewers in the live broadcast room had also seen it for the first time.
The material is copper gilt, and there is a tired wire process in some places.
The large board at the top of the hat is called "Crown", and the crown of Baoyou is not only double-hollowed, but also has a stamen-like protrusion on the upper surface, which is inlaid with gemstones.
At first glance, it looks extravagant.
But then look at the two rows of small beads in front and back of the tiara...... Directly collapse the whole paragraph.
These two rows of bead-like curtains, called crowns, are the essence of the crown.
Not only are the beads on each rope required to be one inch apart from each other, but the number of beads is also very particular.
Generally speaking, when worshipping the heavens, the crown worn by the emperor has a string of 12 beads;
When worshipping ancestors, it drops to 9;
When the three mountains and five mountains were sacrificed, it became 7;
When the shrine was sacrificed, there were only 5 of them......
Baoyou's piece is very coincidental, there are only 6 beads per string, not up or down.
"I am the crown used by the emperor during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty." Baoyou took the initiative to introduce.
The word crown shows that Baoyou really doesn't understand anything.
The real crown, such as the kind of hat made of pure gold worn by the emperor in the TV series, is currently only unearthed in the Wanli period, and it is still a Ming vessel.
It will be used for funerals.
The highest level of hat in ancient Chinese daily life was the crown.
However, Zhang Yang does not intend to refute Baoyou from historical knowledge, there is no need.
"You said this is from Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty?"
"Yes, it has to be Qianlong. Of course, if you say that the teacher says that it is Kangxi, I can accept it. Baoyou smiled optimistically.
Zhang Yang was infected by this smile and laughed with him.
"Teacher, what are you laughing at?"
Baoyou's smile disappeared.
"Oh, it's good that you're just staring at the Qing Dynasty." Zhang Yang explained, "Each of your beads is six beads, and there was no crown of this specification in the Qing Dynasty. β
"If you have to come back, you have to say that it was the Warring States period."
"At the time of the Eastern and Western Zhou Dynasty, the nobles of the Qing level could use a crown of six beads."
"The Qing Dynasty, even the Ming Dynasty, did not have this kind of specification." Zhang Yang smiled again and told Baoyou, "This is a pure fabrication. β
After some explanation, Bao You was convinced and walked to Librarian He very consciously.
However, he also has the same doubts as the first treasure friend:
"I don't need to register for something that obviously goes against history, right?"
"Eh, Tibetan friend, your words are wrong." Librarian He said with a familiar persuasion, "History can be rewritten, what if there is an opportunity to excavate the imperial tomb of the Qing Dynasty in the future and find a crown of six beads inside?" β
"Then don't you have any hope of coming true?"
"You mean, I have to keep my things until the day Qianlong is exhumed?" Baoyou asked in a different direction.
"That's pretty much it." Librarian He scratched his head.
What he said even felt a bit outrageous to himself, but Zhang Yang taught him such a word, and now he can't think of any other better explanation for a while.
"If that's what you say...... Bao You nodded heavily, "then I must keep this crown." β
"I'm going to leave it to my grandson's grandson, if Qianlong is exhumed, burn this hat to me, so that I can be refreshed underground."
Librarian He: "...... Friends, you just have fun. β
Waiting for this radical "Huanghan" treasure friend to fill in the information, Librarian He quickly took a look.
[The real source of the collection]: Laugh auction live purchase.
[Purchase cost (converted into RMB)]: 7500.
Another online purchase?
"But 7,500 yuan to buy a hat worn by the emperor, Baoyou should also know in his heart that it may be fake, right?" Librarian He muttered in his heart.
He looked at the back of Baoyou leaving and shook his head slightly.
Next, two treasure friends in a row, all the real things they took out.
Although it is not valuable, there is no need to register with a librarian.
This alone makes the friends very happy, and now the friends in line feel that it is a very unfortunate thing to go to the librarian after the identification.
But no matter how bad luck it is, the thing is fake, and Baoyou still has to go.
"You are Sun Xiaotou who has been cast in sand." Zhang Yang excitedly told the treasure friend in front of him.
"Was it purchased online, or is it an ancestral heirloom? Or did you buy it at a stall outside? β
"No, it was transferred to me by a veteran collector at a low price." Baoyou explained, "I didn't play collectibles originally. β
"But I watched a lot of videos of treasure appreciation, and I felt that I could do it, so I looked for resources on the Internet."
"I just met a big hand who collects silver dollars, and I am transferring the treasure at hand......"
"OK, that's right, the other party must be deceiving you with fakes."
Zhang Yang quickly explained that the difference between the old silver dollar and the new silver dollar cast by sand casting is actually the difference between natural wear and tear and artificial aging.
If you really don't believe it, you can also do silver testing.
After finishing speaking, Zhang Yang pointed in the direction of Librarian He: "Baoyou, let's register with him, there is a surprise." β
"Surprise? What surprises? β
"Maybe I'll be able to reimburse you for all the costs of buying this fake silver dollar." Zhang Yang said with a smile.
He was going to boil the frogs in warm water, little by little, so that Librarian He could feel the atmosphere of the treasure appreciation scene, understand the powerlessness of ordinary collectors in the face of high-quality antiques, and then understand the blow of counterfeiting to the entire antique market and even the cultural and museum industry.
It's best to have two more brothers who are bankrupt and buy fakes, and see if Librarian He can empathize.
Unexpectedly, it was such a coincidence that Mr. Luo's victim showed up to say the truth.
When Baoyou walked uncomfortably to Librarian He, Zhang Yang also specially reminded him:
"Lao He, this is a budding new Tibetan friend."
"Please understand the situation in more detail, maybe we can help him."
