My system is not decent

Chapter 1504 In ancient times, people also knew that this was a good thing
Chen Wenzhe took a fancy to these BMWs at a glance. Although they are made of stone, they look really handsome.

The most important thing is that these are moments that are preserved intact like murals, rather than broken like the real thing, which makes people feel distressed.

Touching a stone carving, Chen Wenzhe looked at the upper corner.

The imitation is really good, even Ouyang Xun's characters are imitated so well!
Looking at the other stone carvings, the upper corner of each screen is engraved with the words of praise written by Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty written by Ouyang Xun.

However, on the real stone carvings of the Six Horses in Zhaoling Mausoleum, these writings have been weathered and disappeared.

These stone carvings of the six steeds of Zhaoling in Tang Dynasty all use high-relief carving techniques, with simple lines and accurate shapes, to vividly show the posture and character of the horses and the scene of galloping on the battlefield with arrows in the battle.

These carvings have smooth lines, round knife techniques, fine carvings and lifelike carvings.

If he hadn't known that these were imitations, Chen Wenzhe would have thought that these were well-known stone carving art treasures both at home and abroad.

Such things, all the works of the outside world must be imitations, it just depends on whether the imitation is good or not.

I have to say that Li Jinli's vision is still very good.

If he didn't know that the genuine products were all broken, they wouldn't be complete if they were put together. Chen Wenzhe really thought that these were genuine products.

Not to mention the engraving technique, even the old-fashioned method of this moment is very powerful.

There are many old stone carvings, especially Buddha statues, which are the most and the easiest.

Making old stone carvings is a well-studied knowledge. In fact, many people think that antique stone carvings are old stone carvings.

In fact, the old stone carving more includes the antique stone carving.

Because being old means that there is no need for antiques, such as being old for 1-2 years, being old for 10-20 years, and so on.

In such a short period of time, in fact, this is not an antique technique in the strict sense.

They mostly use some simple old-fashioned methods to deal with stone carvings.

The old stone carvings are because of the new stone carvings, there may be some problems.

For example, if you buy defective products, you can make such Buddha statues older.

In this way, when we see such works, we will not feel too much discomfort and rejection.

So the old way, the first meaning is to hide the ugliness.

This is also reflected in the fact that some of the stone carvings bought back have problems with the stone texture.

For example, broken lines, such as color difference problems, such as the difference between primary and secondary stone materials.

These can be achieved by making old, to achieve the purpose of concealing ugliness.

Of course, the biggest possibility of making old stone carvings is to deceive people.

The easiest way to make stone carvings old is to soak them.

This kind of stone is placed in water and soaked for a period of time, and some moss or black dirt will appear. This is the most basic processing method.

The second method is smoking or smoking.

This method is suitable for people who often burn incense. When they burn incense, they will slowly dye the incense to the side of the stone carvings placed.

The third is the exposure method, which is to continuously use light ink, residual liquid of strong tea leaves, and rust for decoration and post-processing.

There are several ways to make modern antique stone carvings old. If you want to make them more similar, the method will be more complicated.

For example, brush the surface of the stone carving with nitric acid water or hydrochloric acid water.

Due to chemical reactions, the stone surface has been corroded.

Put it in the open air in summer, after a long time, it will be somewhat similar to cultural relics.

It is black because of nitric acid water or hydrochloric acid water, and it is bright and integrated, and there is a wrinkled skin on it.

But there is no such thing as a real cultural relic.

Then heat the stone carvings with fire, smear them with loess mixed with Baiji water, and make soil cultural relics after drying.

Of course, if the stone carvings can be boiled in smoky water with a little alum for a few days, then the stone carvings will be taken out, and after drying, they will look like iron filings and rust.

Or smoke the stone carvings with a layer of original tires with incense sticks and place them in direct sunlight.

Spray water several times a day, and after a few months, brush away the floating soot and floating soil with cold water.

At this time, the remaining smoked glaze and condensed stone carvings are almost the same as the real loess rust.

If the technique is further improved, potassium permanganate should be used, rinsed with boiling water, and applied to the stone statue.

After the potassium permanganate is infiltrated, according to the depth of the color, the floating color on the surface is rinsed with clean water.

Then wipe it with a little yellow mud to achieve the effect of antique works.

Here we need to know that the real stone carving cultural relics will not peel off if they are brushed with alkaline water.

If the rust is fake, it will be realistic, but the rust will no longer exist if it is brushed with alkaline water.

The last step is to use an oxygen gun for fire treatment.

According to the hardness of different stone materials, the burning time is 4-9 seconds.

The distance between the oxygen gun and the surface of the stone carving should be controlled within 6-11cm.

The burnt area of ​​the stone carving reaches 75-96, and then it is cleaned with an iron brush.

At this time, depending on the degree of newness and oldness, use a brown wool machine to polish it thoroughly.

Then apply old tea juice, add ink and rust juice, and wax after drying to meet the antique requirements of stone materials.

Chen Wenzhe looked at the six stone carvings in front of him, and it was obvious that these stone carvings could not be made old by simple methods.

Because even Chen Wenzhe couldn't see any flaws if he looked carefully, which is very powerful.

Not being able to see any flaws doesn't mean he doesn't know it's a fake, nor does it mean Chen Wenzhe doesn't know how it's done.

No flaws can be seen, just because these stone carvings are perfectly done.

Simply relying on your eyes, you will never be able to tell that these are all new imitations.

And being able to know that these are false is naturally due to knowledge.

And being able to know how these stone carvings are old is because of technology.

As a master who has reached the level of a master in the field of old-fashioned work, Chen Wenzhe has almost no shortcomings in old-fashioned work.

Therefore, he could easily see the old-fashioned way of these stone carvings.

Of course, being able to know the technique does not mean being able to do it well.

Chen Wenzhe not only knows how to do it, he can do it well.

If he didn't know the technique, then naturally he wouldn't be able to identify these stone carvings as old fakes.

The moments in front of us are so powerful, because they use the ancient method to make the old.

Zhaoling Six Horses are the six horses ridden by Tang Taizong Li Shimin when he unified the world and moved to the battlefield.

Such a famous horse is not only famous now. In ancient times, people also knew that it was a good thing.

Even the time in Zhaoling, the Song Dynasty and subsequent dynasties knew it was a good thing.

There is no way, Li Shimin is also known as the existence of the eternal emperor.

After Li Shimin came to the throne that year, in recognition of his military exploits in the establishment of the Tang Dynasty and in memory of the good horses who contributed in the six major battles, the stone carvings of the Six Horses were erected in front of Zhaoling Mausoleum.

It is so solemn, naturally it will not be carved at will.

Therefore, in the verandahs on both sides of the sacrificial hall on the north slope of Jiuyi Mountain, there are six relief sculptures that were drafted by the famous painter Yan Liben, written by Tang Taizong himself, and written by the famous calligrapher Ouyang Xun.
