Live appraising treasures, I became a national treasure expert?

Chapter 202 What’s fake is always fake

The two of them stood in front of Li Ding'an: "Teacher Li, thank you for your hard work!"

Li Ding'an didn't speak, nor did he reach out, but just nodded slightly.

But it's good enough. If it were Zheng Manjiu, he would have scolded him a long time ago: If you say you call the police, you call the police, if you say you want to arrest someone, you arrest them. In the end, you just say "Thank you for your hard work"?
fuck your uncle...

The two leaders were also a little embarrassed, and the secretary's face changed slightly, becoming angry.

But what can be done?
The situation is stronger than others, and it is indeed your own fault, so don't say ignore it or step on it, even if others come over, you have to endure it first.

The two looked at each other, sighed again, and were about to invite Li Ding'an in when another car drove over.

The license plate of Liao A and the pass from the Liao Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism were affixed to the window, but it was Wang Yongqian who got out.

"Director!"

Li Ding'an said hello and looked behind him again.

"What are you looking at? It's just me..."

"You didn't bring an assistant?"

Wang Yongqian said "hehe".

Secretary Liu is standing next to you, what kind of assistant should I bring?
Li Ding'an was clearly asking: Why didn't any of the consultants come?

They really want to come, and they are all gearing up and ready to make a move. The question is, how can we dare to let them come?

As the old saying goes, no desire leads to strength. These are a group of old scholars who have been famous for half their lives. Now that they have retired, what else can they pursue?
It's nothing more than a name and a name.

As a result, a group of half-hearted people pointed their noses in their noses and yelled at them without thinking, but they didn't know how to curse, so they couldn't curse at all.

Really, in most of my life, I have never experienced such cowardice!
After finally getting a chance to breathe again, why don't you slap your opponent in the face with enough energy?
Guaranteed to treat as much swelling as possible...

But in any case, Wang Yongqian is also the leader of the superior department. From the standpoint of the station, he will definitely not allow such a situation to happen.So Xiang Zhiqing, Chen Shucai, and Zhang Guangchang mentioned it several times that they wanted to come to the Forbidden City in Shenyang to ask for advice, but he never agreed.

Of course, there is no need.

One Li Ding'an is completely enough...

"Don't look, let's go..."

Wang Yongqian waved and greeted the two people from the Shenyang Forbidden City: "Two of you, we meet again!"

"Director Wang, please make another trip!"

"You're welcome, you should!"

As they spoke, the group entered the building.

In the conference room on the third floor, nearly NO. 20 people were waiting... Oh no, they should be waiting across the street.

Some were solemn, some were curious, and some were excited...

When voices came from outside the door, Zhao Yongjiang also stood up.

Immediately, six or seven people entered the door.

The leader was Wang Yongqian, and most of the people present knew him.There were three other people following him. One was in his early thirties, wearing glasses and holding a briefcase in front of him. He was clearly a secretary.

There are two others, both of whom I have seen in the live broadcast room. The fat one is of course Zheng Manjiu.

Looking at the remaining one, he is delicate, elegant and quiet, with a bookish air all over his body.The eyes are also very bright, and there seems to be light hidden in them... Well, they seem to be younger than in the video, like a college student?
If you think about it carefully, you are studying at Peking University, so aren't you a student?
The question is what he did?

Forget it, there is no way to compare...

They introduced each other, exchanged pleasantries for a while, and the atmosphere was very harmonious and lively.

Li Ding'an always maintained a faint smile on his face, saying yes to everyone who asked, and shaking hands with everyone who came.But I don't know why, but it always gives people a feeling of "aloof, lonely and unsociable".

Those who don’t understand think that all geniuses are like this.

But people who know him well know that Li Ding'an is usually very down-to-earth, funny, can joke, and will scold his mother when he gets angry.

The reason why things are like this now is probably because he is too lazy to be falsely polite, and he is even less willing to be conciliatory.

It’s not hard to guess what will happen next.

Zheng Wanjiu was very excited, and Wang Yongqian nodded secretly, but his expression remained the same: "Then let's start."

So fast?
Dean Yu hurriedly came over and said, "Director Wang, why don't you go to the reception room for a drink of water first?"

Wang Yongqian was startled for a moment, then sighed again, and the scene of a group of consultants joking around before he left the house appeared in his mind.

"Director Wang, please help me. The entire tourism economy of Liao Province depends on this Forbidden City..."

"Please show your kindness to the more than 4000 million fathers and fellow villagers in the province and show your kindness..."

"Leader, if you show mercy, you will be rewarded generously..."

Begging for mercy, talking down, pouring out grievances, posing difficulties, promising benefits, patting the chest... This set of combos will definitely not miss a single move.

But the truth is wrong: what is right is right, and what is wrong is wrong.

You have to shoulder your own responsibilities. It is unreasonable and unreasonable to ask others to sacrifice their whole life's future and reputation to take the blame for you...

He recalled two sentences often mentioned by the curator and secretary:
"Since you are a scholar, since you are an expert, you must have basic character requirements and basic moral principles... You should not be driven by interests and destroy your conscience..."

"Academics must be conducted cleanly, and research must be pure and pure...Don't bring in evil spirits, let alone instill messy ideas into young people..."

Wang Yongqian also said the latter sentence to Li Ding'an twice: once when he led a team to the National Expo to review the Mongolian porcelain project. That was the first time he met Li Ding'an.

The second time was when the secretary led a team to Beijing University to inspect and accept the project. He happened to come back from Hangzhou and brought the red gold Mahora with him, which was the one that collided with the Shenyang Forbidden City.

At that time, Li Ding'an wanted to talk about some human incident, and wanted to cover up the Shenyang Forbidden City, which he had never met before and had no friendship with him.But he didn't agree, and neither did the secretary.Then he led the advisory team to Shenyang.

Therefore, there is no reason to require Li Ding'an to stick to the truth and remain unswerving.On the other hand, they went back on their word and became villains?
That’s not how work is done, and that’s not how leadership is done.Therefore, the outcome of this matter has long been doomed...

Wang Yongqian shook his head: "I won't drink any more water... I have booked a flight for tomorrow morning. I have to report to the leader when I get back and sort out the documents in the evening. So, let's start as soon as possible!"

Is this not showing any affection at all?

The dean's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Zhao Yongjiang again as if asking for help.

Zhao Yongjiang sighed: You haven't figured out the priorities. The point is not Wang Yongqian at all, but this young man.

Otherwise, why would he not come forward from the beginning to the end? He refused to ask him to do Li Ding'an's work: I'm sorry, leader, Li Ding'an is not my subordinate, I can't control it, and even my words don't count!

After hitting a snag with him, the leader in charge of Wenlvkou made a call to the capital...

Zhao Yongjiang smiled with emotion: "Teacher Li has been working hard these days, why don't you take a rest first?"

This is not achieving the goal, so you won’t give up?

"It's true that I'm a little tired!" Li Ding'an nodded, "Leaders, if there's no rush here, I'll go back to the hotel!"

I went to...

Zheng Wanjiu almost burst into laughter: Do you insist on doing this as a favor incident?
Sorry, just play by yourself, I won't accompany you.

But if we really want Li Ding'an to leave, what's the point of spending so much effort to invite him?

It seems that the soft one won't work, so let's try the hard one.

Thinking about the wording, a rare smile appeared on the secretary's face: "If Teacher Li just leaves like this, wouldn't he betray the minister's trust?"

Minister...oh, you mean the curator, right?

"Well, it's true! But the curator only asked me to authenticate it, and he didn't mention that he wanted me to renege on my word and falsify it!"

After a pause, he grinned again: "It's possible that I didn't hear clearly. Otherwise, why don't you call the secretary and ask?"

"hiss"……

One by one, they all took a breath of cold air.

Are you... really stubborn? Even if you think so in your heart, even if it is the truth, you can't say it out loud?
Even if you blame the boss forcibly, you are not afraid that the boss will give you some shoes after hearing about it?
Or is it that the future is gone?

But Li Ding'an said: Use the leader to suppress me... Do you think I am mentally retarded?
Anyone who dares to say "no" today will be stinking shit for the rest of his life, being stepped on by thousands of people and scolded by thousands of people.

There's still a future... Your grandma's legs are in front of me!
"Bullshit!"

Wang Yongqian pretended to reprimand, "You dare to say such things!"

Li Ding'an admitted his mistake when he knew it, and lowered his head slightly: "Director, I was wrong... I will write a review when I get back!"

"Yeah!" Wang Yongqian snorted coldly with his nose, and smiled again: "This is just a stupid young man, extremely stubborn, fearless of heaven and earth, and the director of the Ministry of Public Security will sue him whenever he wants... Everyone, please don't. What a joke!"

Leng Touqing didn't know if it was true, but he was really stubborn. He brought up the leader to suppress him, but he arranged for the leader first, wasn't he?
So what else can he not dare to do?
For a moment, everyone's expressions changed: He won't eat hard or soft food, and he won't eat oil or salt. What should we do with him again?
Just as he was thinking about what else to do, Li Ding'an raised his wrist and looked at his watch.

Do you understand? If you don’t, I will really leave.

Dean Yu sighed: That's it anyway, let him see if he can delay it for a while.

While thinking, he winked at Lian Zizhen and Zhao Yongjiang.

These two people understood instantly: think of a solution quickly and bring in reinforcements!

The two nodded slightly, and the dean stretched out his hand: "Teacher Li, please!"

"it is good!"

Li Ding'an replied with one word and walked to the map.

In fact, he has already seen everything that needs to be seen, and he knows all the information about this thing.

But looking at it now, my feelings are different: the authentic Jiangnan brocade has an old-fashioned atmosphere that has been handed down for more than a hundred years, but it is still bright and silky.

Unparalleled, unique in the world, but fake?

While sighing with emotion, he sighed again: "The leaders and teachers must have already come to a conclusion. If you ask me to come here, it is just to add some details. So if there is anything wrong, please correct me."

That's a very polite thing to say, but are you really being polite?

Secretly cursing, Li Ding'an pointed at the map again: "Let's do the same thing, let's talk about the material first: Why is there some rayon in the center of the map but not on the four sides?

This comes down to craftsmanship, because the counterfeiter doesn’t have time to step on the manual loom step by step, otherwise he wouldn’t be able to spin such a large map with such meticulous workmanship in a year.So we can only use mechanical power to weave, which is what I call machine weaving.

However, natural silk is relatively brittle and far less smooth than artificial silk. At that time, there was no computer programming, and the electric spinning machine could only set a fixed force value, and could not retract and expand freely, and could not tighten or loosen at one time.Therefore, if you use silk for some connection points, or places that are shallow and deep, thin and thick, it will break when you pull it, so you can only use stronger rayon...

But the surroundings are different. This place is outside the map. There are no hills, no mountains, and no rivers... In short, it is flat, which is what is called flat weaving in textiles. It can be done with silk and machines. arrive. "

Is that so?
This is quite professional textile knowledge. The professors and experts only know about antiques and identification. They are really laymen, so they subconsciously looked at Zhao Yongjiang.

Zhao Yongjiang said nothing and had no expression on his face.Others also knew that this was tantamount to acquiescence: what Li Ding'an said was absolutely correct.

The rest is easy to deduce, such as why no one has discovered it until now.

Because rayon is mostly used in the connecting parts and the intersection of the lines, it is either covered with silk, or mixed with silk, without dismantling the map, or roasting it with fire, etc., it is really difficult to distinguish.

The question is, who dares to dismantle such a thing, and who dares to burn it?
More importantly, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, this thing was sealed most of the time. Not only did it have a glass frame on the outside, but there was also a transparent insulating material on the inside, which was equivalent to several layers of things.

At least most miscellaneous experts cannot tell which threads in a piece of cloth are artificial silk and which threads are natural silk just by looking at them...

"It means: This map was woven during the Republic of China?"

"Yes! It was probably around 1925, and the first-generation electric ironwood loom used by Nissan was used. The rayon included was also made by Nissan..."

"1925? With the mechanical technology at that time, could it be so delicate and exquisite?"

"There are many things more exquisite than this: Du Jinsheng, a famous entrepreneur and weaver in the Republic of China, created the brocade "Country and Mountains Ten Thousand Miles" in 1925. The base fabric and longitude and latitude lines of this painting are all made of rayon, which is used by machines. It is also the first generation of Japanese electric ironwood loom...The brocade is now collected in the JS Provincial Museum...

There is also a picture of "Palace Concubine's Night Tour", which uses half silk and half rayon. The same electric loom is used. It is now collected in Lingyin Temple, Hangzhou... There are pictures of these two paintings online. You can compare them... "

Someone just wanted to ridicule, but they swallowed the words as soon as they reached their lips: This is a map, only for accuracy, and the colors are only black, white, yellow, and gray. It is so monotonous that it can't be more monotonous. It's really out of the question. Beautiful, good-looking.

Moreover, Li Ding'an had mentioned Du Jinsheng's "Country and Mountains" before, and more than one person had searched for the picture.Ask yourself, it is indeed more beautiful than this map...

"What about the calligraphy? We have repeatedly compared it with the emperor's calligraphy collected in the Forbidden City in Beijing, and there is no error...and Teacher Li also admitted that the inscriptions of the four emperors on it are all authentic!"

Hearing this sentence, I felt refreshed: Yes, the map is fake, but why are the characters authentic?

It couldn't be that all four emperors came back to life?
Li Ding'an shook his head: "When did I say: The inscription on this is the original work of the four emperors?"

Good guy, what you said were considered farts?
Lian Zizhen's eyebrows raised in confusion: "Teacher Li, don't deny it, I have a recording!"

Ha... He obviously has a character that explodes at the first moment, but he is quite scheming without thinking about it?

"Secretary Lian, let him out!"

Do you think I dare not let it go?
Lian Zizhen immediately turned on her mobile phone, and a clear conversation came from it: "We borrowed materials from the Forbidden City and compared them repeatedly with the calligraphy treasures preserved by several emperors. Whether it is calligraphy habits or traces, they are completely consistent..."

Li Ding'an immediately laughed: "Did you hear that?"

You're laughing your ass off and trying to pick out the words, right?
Lian Zizhen narrowed her eyes: "The calligraphy habits match the traces, so isn't it an authentic calligraphy?"

"There really is a difference... You know the double hooking method: use lines to outline the strokes of the characters you are copying to form hollow fonts, and then fill in the ink... It is actually the red tracing done in elementary school.

However, the technique on this map is slightly more advanced. Instead of drawing lines, he directly made an edged mold according to the original drawing, and then traced it bit by bit with an outline pen...

It's easier to read if it's on paper, because there will be ink accumulation.But the base fabric of the map is tapestry, and the excess ink can penetrate deeply.So if you just look at the calligraphy habits and traces of the calligraphy written in this way, of course it will be exactly the same as the original calligraphy... But to say that this is the original calligraphy is nonsense..."

Lian Zizhen was stunned instinctively: "Impossible!"

"In fact, it is still possible. It is not difficult to identify the authenticity of handwriting. Municipal forensic appraisal agencies can do it."

Li Ding'an smiled again, "And there is a simpler way: the ink used on this map is the 'foreign smoke ink' that was only available during the Republic of China... Zhang Daqian, Qi Baishi, Fu Baoshi, Li Keran and other famous artists like to use it the most. The kind that comes to write and draw.

This kind of ink has no other characteristics, just two words: cheap!Because its main component is the residue after burning petroleum fuel...well, it's the same thing as the carbon deposits in car exhaust pipes..."

Even Zizhen leaned back and was stunned: What did you say?
It's not just him, almost everyone has a "sun-done" expression on their faces: Smoke from car exhaust pipes?

Where are these from?

But if not... this kind of thing is easy to test, you can do it in a junior high school chemistry lab.

Including the previous rayon, it is easier to identify: take out a strand and burn it with a lighter, and you can see it at a glance.

So, there are already two things that are wrong, and the flaws are so big, why is there any need to continue to identify them?

Most of them had a similar mentality, and gradually, the voices of discussion became quieter and quieter.Went to the largest conference room, which was so densely packed with dozens of people that it was so quiet that only the sound of breathing could be heard.

Finally, Zhao Yongjiang broke the silence: "What about the seal? Experts have repeatedly compared it with the real seal of the Forbidden City in Beijing, and there is no error..."

"Yes!" Secretary Lian suddenly came to life, "Mr. Li, you also admit that the Sifang Imperial Seal on it is correct!"

"The seal is indeed correct, because after the map was woven, it was re-stamped with the real seal!"

"how come?"

Again?
Does even the secretary remember to eat and not to fight?
Zheng Wanjiu was secretly happy, and then listened to Li Ding'an's words: "There is nothing impossible, because this map was forged by Puyi... In 1924, Feng Yuxiang came to Beijing and forced Puyi to leave the palace. He had no choice but to escape into Japan. Legation...

Before leaving the palace, he took away a considerable number of antiques and treasures.These include some imperial seals, famous calligraphy and paintings, and the authentic copy of this map... Including that before leaving the palace, he gave many things to the Japanese, which is why the Japanese embassy was willing to take him in...

At that time, in order to seek asylum from Japan, he gave a lot to the Japanese, mostly gold, silver, calligraphy and paintings, and some things with little political symbolic significance... Later, the Japanese's appetite grew and they started to create this map. ism.

But the meaning of this map is extraordinary. If given to a foreigner, it would not only mean forgetting one's ancestors and committing treason, but also betraying the country and seeking glory... And as it happens, his identity is even more extraordinary.Therefore, he did not dare to give it away and could not give it away...

It was his English teacher, John John, an Englishman, who came up with the idea, saying that the Japanese had never seen the real thing, and they didn't know the goods, so they couldn't tell if the picture was fake... Puyi readily agreed and entrusted Johnston to take the real picture to Shanghai to make a copy. …

In order to distinguish the fake from the real, Puyi specially asked him to bring many plain white Su brocades that had been kept in the palace for many years, so the background cloth of the map was also correct...

When he arrived in Shanghai, Johnston found help from the British comprador Yan Yutang, the Shanghai textile magnate.However, Yan Yutang could only weave and spin yarn, but could not embroider brocade, so he invited Du Jinsheng, a famous brocade spinner.And because the Japanese were pressing hard, there was no time to spin and embroider using traditional techniques, so Du Jinsheng decided: machine weaving...

It took about a week to weave a map of the same size with a simulation accuracy of 80.00%.Just in case, Johnston first took the map to Tianjin. After stamping it, he went to the capital to ask famous artists to collect calligraphy, and then asked famous imitators to make it old... After that, Johnston returned to Tianjin and handed the map to The Japanese...

I don’t know exactly what happened in the middle, and I don’t know where the original original painting went.It is also unknown whether the Japanese later discovered that this painting was a fake, or whether after occupying Fengtian they used this fake one in exchange for the authentic one from the Forbidden City in Shenyang.But after that, what stayed in the Forbidden City in Shenyang was this one..."

"How did Teacher Li know so clearly...guess it?"

"Just think of it as my guess, but it's not unfounded: Johnston wrote a lot of autobiographical literature about the last dynasty and the palace after returning to England. One of them, if translated, should be called "Thirty Years in China" "Information"...

It records how he went to Shanghai to imitate a map... but the writing is very vague. It just says that Puyi commissioned him to take Su Jin to Shanghai to weave a map, and that after arriving in Shanghai, he found Yan Yutang and Du Jinsheng... But It didn't say what kind of map it was, let alone what it was embroidered for, so it can only be used as a basis, not as evidence...

As for the reason, it should be related to the background of the times: when he wrote this book, it was during the Pacific War, when the US-British coalition forces, Germany and Japan were about to lose their brains.And Puyi happened to be the emperor of the Great Manzhou Kingdom in Shenyang... Maybe he was afraid of leaving some clues, so he didn't dare to write in such detail..."

Li Ding'an spoke very slowly, and others listened very seriously, and many of them were thinking about the possibility.

But no matter how you think about it, it seems to be impeccable?

Moreover, he also gave substantial evidence, and the verification method is not difficult?
But if you say this is the truth... no one will be willing to accept it!

It's shameful, it's all lost anyway...

Lian Zizhen's heart skipped a beat and he gritted his teeth: "Teacher Li, this is not logical!"

From the look on his face, you could tell that he really had no choice but to create conditions and find a way. Li Dingan sighed helplessly:
"Secretary Lian, in fact, you know very well that no matter how much I explain, no matter how perfect I am, you can always find a reason to refute it if you look for it. However, a fake is a fake, let alone less than 100 years old, it will last another 100 years , What’s fake is still fake…”

　Gentlemen, both days are big chapters of more than 6000 words. It’s a supplementary chapter, so it should be fine, right?
