Tripod wedding

Chapter 843 Guqin Evaluation ([-])

Xu Qingru smiled, and continued to calmly say: "The aesthetic pursuit of qin sounds in different dynasties is different. Generally speaking, the qin sounds of the Tang and Northern Song dynasties are grand and pine, while the qin sounds of the Southern Song and Ming dynasties are quiet and beautiful. However, the clear and vigorous sound of the piano in the Yuan Dynasty was probably influenced by Mongolian national musical instruments."

"The timbre of the qin will also vary depending on the age of the material of the qin. The difference in timbre caused by the material is difficult to change by manpower. Therefore, Mr. Yang Shibai said that the timbre has nine virtues, among which are clear, round, even and quiet. , manpower may be able to forcibly forge; but the remaining four items of Tou, Run, Qi, and Gu cannot be artificially forged."

"But Yang Shibai's is mainly for the qin of the Tang and Song dynasties. He believes that the four characteristics of penetration, embellishment, strangeness, and ancientness can only be found in Tang and Song qin. Judging the year by the tone, no one can tell clearly, the older the Guqin, the better the sound is not."

"But at least, the qin in front of me has the four virtues of penetrating, smooth, strange and ancient in tone, and the head master Gu heard it just now, didn't he?"

You come and go, this time it was Xu Qingru who asked the question.

Gu Yunzhi nodded: "You are right. The sound can at least show that this is Zhang Haoqin, but it does not mean that it is a Qin from the Han Dynasty. At most, it can be imagined that it is a Qin from the Tang and Song Dynasties."

The light in Xu Qingru's eyes dimmed, and he asked with great interest: "Since the timbre cannot judge the authenticity of this piano, then Master Gu judged it to be a fake from the gray paint and broken lines?"

Gu Yunzhi nodded: "That's right, the person who made this violin was very clever. The broken lines and gray paint are enough to make the real one look fake, but they still showed their feet."

When Gu Yunzhi said this, he didn't continue, but threw a look at Xu Qingru.

Xu Qingru understood what he meant, so he took his words and said: "Wood can reflect the times, and it is possible to judge the age of wood from the color and looseness of the wood used. The age of the wood of the qin is much earlier than that of the qin, in this case, it is necessary to look at the gray paint and broken lines, because the gray paint and broken lines are difficult to fake."

"The broken pattern of the piano is closely related to the age of the piano. We are also very clear about the main broken pattern shapes, such as snake belly broken, fine grain broken, flowing water broken, ice broken, plum blossom broken, ox hair broken, etc. Generally speaking, The qin of the Tang Dynasty mainly had broken snake belly, but the broken lines were fine and dense, while the qin of the Song Dynasty appeared with broken snake belly and wide spacing. The qin of the Yuan Dynasty and Ming Dynasty would have broken water and broken hair."

"Zhao Xihu's "Dongtian Qinglu" mentioned that broken patterns can be used as the basis for identification of Guqin. Before 500 years, there will be no broken patterns. The older the age, the more broken patterns. Generally speaking, there should be large Broken lines, and then fine and small broken lines appear between large broken lines."

"This violin has ice cracks on the back, fine broken lines between the big broken lines, and plum blossom broken lines on the surface. Master Gu thinks, what's the problem?"

Xu Qingru stated her opinion in detail, and then threw the question back.

Gu Yunzhi smiled: "It is indeed difficult to forge the broken lines of the guqin, but it is not impossible to forge. First, stick a piece of paper under the lacquer body, and the broken lines will appear after a short time. You can also freeze the finished piano, Roasting with fire, repeated like this, will also cause broken lines."
