Chapter 1487 Counterfeiting Routine
As far as Chen Wenzhe knows, the "Monument of King Yu" on Yuelu Mountain is believed to be the mother stone of the "Monument of King Yu" carved on the damaged peak of Nanyue Hengshan!
So, when was the piece in front of you engraved?
As for the fact that it is the genuine King Yu Monument, Chen Wenzhe really didn't believe it, because he didn't believe in Li Tianqiang, or he was so lucky.

Of course, he didn't quite agree that the stele with only [-] years of history but without any writing left was the real stele of King Yu.

But Chen Wenzhe might really be able to find where the genuine King Yu Monument Stone is hidden.

This requires him to go to Hengshan to see it in person. Perhaps through retrospect, he can still see what was going on in the Southern Song Dynasty.

As long as He Zhi didn't forge a rubbing copy for flattery back then, with the ability of the Sui Hou Zhizhu now, maybe he can find where he found the King Yu stele.

It's just that, that's for the future, and now Chen Wenzhe has a bit of a headache.

He looked at the other steles. If these were genuine, then they could really support a large museum.

It's a pity that, except for the fragment of the ancient Egyptian stone slab, everything else should be carved.

It's just that these reprinted steles are all high-quality goods, and they are not modern remakes.

Don't think that the ancients would not be able to re-engrav these things, especially during the period of the Republic of China, re-engraving ancient steles once reached an extremely crazy level.

For example, the Wei stele in front of him must be a fake.

Chen Wenzhe couldn't tell otherwise, but Chen Wenzhe could still tell how weathered this stele was.

Looking at the time, at most it is the Republic of China.

Because no matter how you look at it, the lifetime of this stele will not exceed two hundred years.

It should be almost a hundred years old, because this stele must be a little old.

The ancients also made fakes, look at this Wei stele, the fakes in the Republic of China were too great!
The standard Yangluo body, however, was artificially made in the Republic of China.

If you don't look at the degree of old-fashioned, even Chen Wenzhe can't see any flaws.

The lethality of this kind of fake is too high, it seems to be careful.

If there is a master to make it old, maybe it can be sold as a real Wei Bei.

Needless to say, this Wei stele must have been engraved by a master during the Republic of China period.

I just don’t know why, it wasn’t made old back then.

I don't know if anyone has discovered that the people of the Republic of China are particularly fond of making fakes, and the owners of steles are generally hermits and religious figures.

The manufacture of such unowned inscriptions is probably because it is difficult to check in history books.

Fake inscriptions are very profitable, and one inscription cost hundreds of oceans in the Republic of China.

For example, the epitaph of Li Bi seems to cost 300 silver dollars, which also makes the counterfeiter a professional.

Until now, this has been the cause of counterfeiting, profitable, and lucrative.

Especially the Wei stele, Chen Wenzhe has studied the falsification of the epitaph of the Northern Wei Dynasty once before.

That time was in the Forest of Steles in Chang'an. After seeing so many steles, he once studied them in his dream.

Because it is not the main job, so he experienced it in a dream, which shows that he did not study it on purpose.

However, he still knows what he should know.

In short, there is only one reason why there are a large number of forgeries in the epitaphs of the Northern Wei Dynasty: driven by economic interests.

After the rise of stele studies in the Qing Dynasty, various epitaphs of the Northern Wei Dynasty unearthed were particularly popular.

Not only are the rubbings of the epitaphs of the Northern Wei Dynasty highly sought after, but the prices of the stones themselves are also higher.

It was so, and it still is.

There are still many epitaphs of the Northern Wei Dynasty that are suspected to be reprinted or faked on the market.

The history of falsification of epitaphs in the Northern Wei Dynasty is also quite long.

Roughly from the middle of the Qing Dynasty to the present, it has never stopped.

As long as the epitaphs of the Northern Wei Dynasty continue to be sought after, fake epitaphs will definitely continue to appear in the future.

Therefore, the attitude towards new discoveries and newly unearthed epitaphs of the Northern Wei Dynasty must be appraised.

Don't completely believe that it is true, but should combine its shape, content, style, font structure, pen and other elements.

It is best to conduct a comprehensive analysis before deciding whether it is genuine.

For the kind of epitaph that doesn't feel real, I'd rather assume it's fake first, and then slowly decide that it might be real.

This pursuit of eliminating the false and retaining the true is the correct mentality for studying and studying the epitaphs of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

The specifications of the epitaph stone slabs of the Northern Wei Dynasty are usually square, with roughly equal length and width.

The number of squares laid in advance is roughly equal to the vertical and horizontal.

In other words, the overall number of squares in the epitaph of the Northern Wei Dynasty still looks like a square, just like a Go board.

If the newly unearthed epitaphs of the Northern Wei Dynasty show some relatively large deviations in the above parameters, then we should pay attention.

The reason for this discrepancy is whether it was due to a certain lack of conditions limited to the Northern Wei Dynasty at that time, or due to fraud and other reasons.

As for counterfeiting, Chen Wenzhe is also a professional.

The falsification process is not difficult, but it is extremely labor-intensive.

Of course, this is a high-quality work. If you do it casually, with the help of modern engraving tools, the speed is still very fast.

The process of falsifying epitaphs in the Northern Wei Dynasty is actually similar to other inscriptions.

If you use the current Zhang Santi to describe it, it will be more intuitive. After all, this is also a case and it is very criminal.

By the way, Zhang San recently heard that the epitaphs of the Northern Wei Dynasty were more profitable, but he couldn't get the real epitaphs.

Therefore, Zhang San had the idea of ​​creating a fake epitaph of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

The role of Zhang San is the planner of the forgery of the epitaph of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

It is impossible for one person to make a fake epitaph. He needs to form a fake team.

So, Zhang San found Li Si, who had fairly rich historical knowledge.

Then let Li Si go to the history books of the Northern Wei Dynasty to find a little famous person.

Finally, write an epitaph manuscript for this little man.

For this manuscript, try to imitate the writing of various epitaphs in the Northern Wei Dynasty.

When everything was ready, Zhang San asked someone to quarry a stone slab.

The stone slab is roughly square, and according to the number of words in the fake epitaph written by Li Si, people marked the front of the slate with squares.

The number of these squares is roughly greater than the total number of words in the epitaph written by Li Si.

After the above steps were completed, Zhang San asked Wang Wu, who knew calligraphy, to be in charge of writing the fake epitaph.

Shudan is to use a brush dipped in vermilion ink to write on the slate.

The shape of Shudan also imitates the writing style of the epitaph of the Northern Wei Dynasty as much as possible.

After the work of Shudan was completed, Zhang San called stonemason Zhao Liu to take charge of the engraving of Shudan's handwriting.

After the above work was completed, Zhang San asked someone to bury the fake epitaph in the soil.

After some time, the epitaph will be dug out from the ground.

The epitaph was already covered with mud, and at this time, some corners were deliberately smashed to make this fake epitaph look more like a real epitaph of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Then, Zhang San is responsible for finding buyers who are willing to be cheated.
