My identity as a collector was exposed by the village flower

Chapter 243 Museum Fakes
Liu Shijun smiled and said: "Don't worry, since we are here, let's play for a few more days. Not only France, we can play in various countries for a while."

Anyway, the European countries are about the same size as the Chinese provinces, or even smaller, and it won't take too much time to visit each country for a day or two.

As for Mr. Zhao and the others, they may just return to China immediately after getting the national treasure. There is no other way.But there is no need for them to follow Mr. Zhao on the same itinerary!

"Well! You can play for a while longer." Mr. Zhao also said.

He saw that Fang Xing was staying in the village all the time, and after finally pulling him out, he naturally hoped that he would take a stroll outside more often.

Ever since, Liu Shijun took the lead, Fang Xing and others set off, leaving only Mr. Zhao and the people sent by the relevant government departments in the hotel.

Even Cui Mingzhu went out to get some air.

"When I enter the museum later, the live broadcast may not be allowed, girl, you can turn it off again." Liu Shijun reminded Xu Qing.

This girl, when she came to a foreign country, did not forget to live broadcast.

Of course, this is also a request from the audience.Many people may have never been abroad in their lives, so they are somewhat curious.Although I can learn about foreign countries on TV and the Internet, it is still not as direct as watching live broadcasts!

"Okay, Brother Liu, I understand." After responding, Xu Qing said to the audience in the live broadcast room: "Everyone heard it? It's not that I won't broadcast live for everyone for a while!"

Fang Xing said with a smile: "Actually, there is nothing to see. Some of the famous paintings you have seen may be fake."

As soon as these words came out, the people in the live broadcast room suddenly became incredulous.

"impossible?"

"Museums can receive fakes and exhibit them? Isn't this a joke?"

"That's right! And it's such a famous museum, it shouldn't be possible."

……

Fang Xing explained: "Nothing is impossible, some cultural relics are easy to be destroyed, but they are very meaningful for exhibition, what should the museum do?
Generally speaking, they will make a replica, which is a high imitation, and ordinary people cannot tell the authenticity.The replicas are displayed for everyone to see, while the real ones are preserved. "

have to!With such an explanation, everyone immediately understood.It turned out that this was the case, and it was different from what they had just thought.It's understandable.

Liu Shijun said: "Let's not talk about the reason! Do you really think museums are genuine? In fact, museums are often fooled and receive some fakes."

He gave an example. Even the National Museum once made a joke. A batch of precious manuscripts on display were recognized as fakes on the spot, which was very embarrassing.

Liu Shijun told everyone that auction houses, museums, art galleries and many businessmen have been deceived.

It is understood that art counterfeit trading ranks third on the list of illegal trading activities in the world, second only to dupin trading and arms trading.

"Sotheby's auction house is famous enough, right? They have a very professional appraisal team, but they have also been recruited.

In 2011, he was forced to return the 960 million euros obtained from the auction suspected to be a copy of Frans Hals's painting "The Stranger Man", and endured the humiliation of being cheated.

Therefore, everyone must not think that it is impossible for museums to have fakes.

On the contrary, there are too many cultural relics and artworks in the museum. Some cultural relics that are not very precious are often collected without paying too much attention to identification.Especially in foreign museums, there are so many fakes that you doubt your life. "Liu Shijun said.

Don't think that the counterfeiting of Chinese antiques is serious. In the West, it is not the same.

They're even what historians are leading the falsification of.

In fact, most of the ancient civilizations in Europe originated from ancient Greece and ancient Rome.

But the ancient Greek and Roman civilizations have a small card, and they are not at the same level as the world's four major ancient civilizations, which makes them very embarrassed.

So some of their historians started to fake ancient civilizations.

From time to time, forged bronze wares are buried in the ground, and then dug out, boasting about the civilization, how old it is, etc., and finally the fakes are donated to the museum.

At first, the museum didn’t know there was such a routine!

Donated by others, why doubt it?Sometimes even the identification steps are omitted, so a lot of fakes are received.

Later, the museum learned of this and gradually rejected such donations.

After Liu Shijun's explanation, the three views of the audience in the live broadcast room were subverted.

"Damn! Don't you always brag about how rigorous the West is?"

"It is not a matter of a day or two for the West to falsify history. Many scholars in the West despise and criticize this kind of behavior, but some sand sculptures in China are still helping to clean up, advocating how long and glorious the history of the West is."

"The four ancient civilizations recognized in the world are only the ancient Egyptian civilization, the Mesopotamian civilization, the ancient Indian civilization, and the ancient Chinese civilization. The ancient civilizations in Europe are obviously later than the four ancient civilizations, and European civilization has nothing to do with the four ancient civilizations. big.

In order to make their civilization look more ancient, some Europeans also recognize their ancestors, claiming that their civilization has inherited the Mesopotamian civilization and the ancient Egyptian civilization. "

……

Europe was peeled off layer by layer, and some viewers suddenly couldn't accept it.

"Think about it! Civilizations are capable of falsification, and the falsification of cultural relics is also commonplace for them. Don't think that only the Chinese can make fakes." Liu Shijun laughed.

He also gave an example, the master of counterfeiting in the West, I have to mention the fake painter Eric Heyborn.

This man even published The Forger's Art Manual in 1995 on how to become a master forger.He imitated the works of many famous masters, such as Corot, Castiglione, Mantegna, etc., which were almost fake ones.

Later, Eric Heyborn's fraud was discovered, which led to his mysterious death.

Before entering the museum, Xu Qing turned off the live broadcast.

no way!Most museums don't even allow taking pictures, let alone live streaming.

Of course, not all museums are like this.For example, when Fang Xing was in Yunwu Village's museum, visitors were allowed to record videos, and Xu Qing even broadcast live in it!
She made the live broadcast of the museum popular, and many museums followed suit and launched a live broadcast of "Visiting the Museum".

This is a new way for museums to provide cultural services. Live streaming is popular with audiences and attracts social attention, and has become a new trend in the digital development of the cultural and museum industry.

From Fang Xing's point of view, the museum live broadcast will become more and more popular.

After entering the museum, they watched all the way.

Suddenly, Fang Xing stopped, looked at a piece of porcelain on display in front of him and frowned.

It was a celadon plum vase, more than 30 centimeters high, with a label on the side stating that it was Goryeo celadon, that is, ancient porcelain from the Bangzi Kingdom.

"What's the matter?" Liu Shijun asked.

"This piece of celadon is wrong. It is not Goryeo celadon, but Longquan celadon from our Song Dynasty."

As soon as these words came out, Liu Shijun and others looked at each other in blank dismay.
