As we all know, inkstones are used for grinding ink and inscriptions, but special gold inkstones appeared during the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty.

The gold inkstone is not made of pure gold. On the contrary, its manufacturing technology is unique. The inkstone is made of special pigments, and gold-plated powder is specially added to the pigments. In this way, the golden yellow gold water is produced. , the written characters are also gold characters that are hot gold and exude a luxurious effect of gold.

It is not cheap to create such a pair of gold inkstones. The shape and grinder design of the inkstones are different from ordinary inkstones. There is a complete set of manufacturing techniques for digging, polishing, and coloring.

It is no exaggeration to say that although the gold inkstone is not made of pure gold, its comprehensive value is indeed much more valuable than a gold brick. In those days, at least 5000 taels of silver were needed to make a gold inkstone.

What is the concept of 5000 taels of silver?At that time, a third-rank official of the imperial court, the two-year salary was beyond the reach of ordinary people, and only the rich and high-ranking officials in the capital could enjoy this special gold inkstone conditionally.

This is like today's luxury bags and clothes, which are reasonable if they exist. The special shape of the gold inkstone satisfies the vanity and face-saving projects of many rich people. Although the gold inkstone is expensive, it is not expensive in the capital. Worrying about sales, what's more, they even customized a whole set of gold inkstones and placed them at home for safekeeping.

The ancient book "Xianfeng Years" even records that someone spent 10 taels of silver to specially build a gold inkstone the size of a square table to enshrine at home, and the comparison has intensified.

Soon this matter spread to the ears of Emperor Xianfeng. Just as Xianfeng, who was young and full of enthusiasm, wanted to consolidate the country, he decisively ordered to cut off this unhealthy trend. With one imperial decree, all the people in the whole country should be handed over. From then on, gold inkstones shall not be forged in any form and for any reason, and those who violate the laws of the Qing Dynasty will be served.

So far, the style of the gold inkstone has been cut by Emperor Xianfeng. Although some gold inkstones were confiscated and destroyed, there are still a lot of them left in the Ming Dynasty, but this thing is basically worthless because of this. Who is willing to take the risk of being beheaded to buy a gold inkstone?

In this way, if there is no demand, there will be no market value, and the gold inkstone will only exist during the second year of Xianfeng. In addition, this kind of gold inkstone has a certain period of limitation. After this period of limitation, it cannot be polished. When the golden water came out, even the gold inkstones hidden in the folks, the value has been shrinking again and again. Even in the later Tongzhi period, the value of a piece of gold inkstones was not as good as that of ordinary black ink inkstones.

……

With a smug smile on his face, Zheng Guangrong pointed out the problem of the gold inkstone directly: "Although the gold inkstone in history can grind out gold water, there is no part of its whole body that is made of gold, at most it is on the surface of the inkstone. It is plated with a layer of gold powder. The gold inkstone you see is obviously granular! This frosted granular gold-plated powder is its biggest flaw! During the Xianfeng period, this kind of gold inkstone could not be produced. Powder maker!"

"The most important point! Although the exterior is gold-plated, the material inside is actually copper! As far as I know, the dyed stone used for the real gold inkstone is fake! It's too fake! It's so fake!"

Ah!

Zheng Guangrong's few two paragraphs directly pointed out the flaws of the gold inkstone, that is, the gold-plated powder, this is not the point, the most terrifying thing is that he can see that the material of the gold inkstone is copper !Defeat in one fell swoop!

"Congratulations to Zheng Guangrong! Congratulations to Zheng Guangrong for being the first to advance to our top [-], congratulations!"

The audience at the scene immediately boiled, and all the camera lenses were aimed at Zheng Guangrong almost at the same time: "Wow! It's really a see-through eye! He looks at least three to four meters away from the glass booth. If you don't touch it with your hands, you can only touch it with your hands." You can see through it directly with your eyes! This is too amazing!"

"As expected of the rare golden pupil in a millennium, it only took less than a minute to figure out who is a fake! Others haven't figured out why yet! He's done it! I'm so stupid! National Teacher List What's more than a contest! Just award the No.1 ring to Zheng Guangrong!"

……

"I found it too!"

"I found it! This golden wooden jewelry box! It's a fake!"

It took the next 3 minutes for someone to keep up with the rhythm. This was a disheveled young man with his entry name, Tang Xiaokai, written on the sign on his chest.

3 minutes!

Although this speed is 2 minutes shorter than that of the golden pupil, it is also a pretty good speed among the masters of appreciating treasures.

Swipe!With long guns and short guns, everyone's eyes shifted to this young man with a slightly sluggish appearance. First of all, this young man gave people a sense of déjà vu. His pair of black-rimmed glasses were dull and matte, and his hair was fluffy It was as messy as a bird's nest, and he habitually held an angle ruler in his hand, staring at the gold jewelry box he had chosen, and making gestures of measurement from time to time.

The staff presented the situation of the jewelry box in public view.

This is a gold-colored jewelry box. At first glance, it looks like a golden wooden box. In fact, a discerning person can tell at a glance that it is a jewelry box made of topaz.

The color of topaz resembles gold, with stripes in the middle. Jade is hard, smooth and round, and highly ornamental. Because of its low price, ancient women loved it. Ancient women preferred to use topaz to make mirrors and jewelry boxes. , and the jade pendant hanging around her waist.

Topaz was born in the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, and it was only after Yongle that there were various antiques and antiques for Topaz. In other words, if the elements of Topaz were before Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, basically you don’t need to look at them, they are [-]% fakes ,High imitation goods.

Looking back at this box, the size of the box is about the size of an ordinary person’s mobile phone. The surface of the box is simply carved with the theme of longevity peach relief, but from the perspective of carving technology, the appearance of longevity peach is very realistic, especially the lid area. Two bright red longevity peaches are engraved between the box and the lower box. When the boxes are put together, a festive picture of the two peaches celebrating the birthday will appear. Regardless of the authenticity of this topaz jewelry box, this design alone is indeed delicate.

However, what Huang Xiaokai said next was shocking.

"Why do I say it is fake? The property of this topaz jewelry box is clearly marked. Its length is 25 centimeters! The width is 408 centimeters! The height is [-] centimeters and the weight is [-] grams. According to this data, I basically You can tell it's fake!"

what?

As soon as Tang Xiaokai said this, there were bursts of exclamations, and even Shen Qiu couldn't help but look up. Based on these data alone, it can be concluded that the jewelry box is a fake?This operation is indeed a bit special, how do you see it?

I saw Tang Xiaokai's expression calm and calm: "The density-to-mass ratio of topaz is 2.87 grams, and the refractive index is 1.82, but the jewelry box we have seen so far has a mass ratio of 1.54 and a calculated refractive index of 8.1." , so this data is very obvious, this is not a piece of topaz material! The density of topaz will shrink with time, but its refractive index will not change, let alone show the refractive index of this value !"

"Looking at the current organic gemstones, there is only one thing that can explode with such a numerical refractive index, and that is glass! Plexiglass! So this jewelry box is 100% fake, it is just plexiglass after color rendering, Create polished jewelry boxes!"

Tang Xiaokai's explanation really refreshed the cognition of everyone inside and outside the scene, including Shen Qiu, it was also the first time that someone had used calculations to figure out the authenticity of the collection. This method is indeed a bit unimaginable at first glance , but when Tang Xiaokai presented the data one by one, several referees in the guest seat were speechless and passed smoothly.

The second round of No.2 was born!Tang Xiaokai from Hezhou City!
