Live appraising treasures, I became a national treasure expert?

Chapter 223: What are you right?
Ask yourself, if you are not at the point where "people and gods are angry" in the antique world, at least everyone is shouting.

Now he says: We should focus on promoting ourselves to improve the “quality” and “image” of the CIIF?
Do you dare to ask your colleagues for their opinions first?
Li Ding'an felt that this was quite unreliable. Of course, he still had to support his work. Anyway, it was just a matter of taking a few photos and saying a few words.

He didn't know whether it had any effect.

……

In the blink of an eye, another week has passed and the CIIE was held as scheduled.

After two meetings and an on-site rehearsal, the organizer finally arranged Li Ding'an in the central shopping mall of Daliu Shugui City.

This is one of the "private collections" exhibition areas in this exhibition. The other two exhibition areas are of course Panjiayuan and Liulichang. Li Ding'an did not go to the other two. I don't know the details, but Da Liushu focuses on one. Features: Miscellaneous.

In the exhibition hall of several thousand square meters, there is a dazzling array of things, ranging from coins to stone lions and Arhat beds. Everything included in the encyclopedia of cultural relics cannot be found here. It can be said to be original. It authentically presents the characteristics of Daliu Shu Ghost Market.

Of course, it's not as chaotic as the market downstairs. It's an exhibition after all, so at least things aren't piled one after another. Most of them are placed in showcases and shelves.

Most of the exhibits come from private collectors, from all provinces and cities. They are collected by the Cultural Relics Exchange Center under the Municipal Cultural Relics Bureau, and then selected by experts invited by the organizer. This can at least guarantee that the exhibits have a certain value, and all of them are It's genuine.

The prices are also relatively reasonable, so you don’t have to “hunt” here, and there won’t be anything left for you to pick up. Just buy what you like.

Li Ding'an and the other five experts were arranged in a corner of the exhibition area. Their work mainly included two points: first, to conduct secondary appraisals for those customers who were a little uneasy about buying and selling exhibits; The collections of collectors who are far away, or who heard the news late and did not have time to participate in the audition, are selected for selection.

The publicity work was well done. Even though it was only the first day of the exhibition and even though the popularity of Daliushu was much lower than that of Panjiayuan and Liulichang, at 08:30, the exhibition hall just opened and thousands of guests poured in. .

And this is the first batch. They have booked tickets online in advance. There are more customers queuing downstairs or being diverted to the market by the main method.

Most of them are buyers, and there are also many people who come to select things. Including Li Ding'an, six experts will be seated, and people have already begun to come here.

Afraid of causing confusion, the organizers did not let in many people at one time, about thirty people, either carrying boxes or holding boxes.They should have read the experts' information in advance, and they are very purposeful. Most of them go straight to the experts they like after arriving.

Therefore, some experts’ tables have many people in front of them, while others have fewer people in front of them.Take Li Ding'an for example, none of the more than 30 Tibetan friends came to see him.

But this is not his fault, it is a matter of publicity of the organizer: just like Xie Yuanping and Associate Professor Zhang sitting next to him, there are personal posters at the stairs, and they have also taken videos in advance, and even in the press conference of the exhibition. Showed his face.

Li Ding'an also took a picture, but he didn't know why he didn't release it, including this moment. Not to mention the water sign, the unit and name were written on the table card in front of him.

He estimated that the organizer was holding back some tricks. Besides, it didn't matter that there was no publicity. Li Ding'an wished that he could keep a low profile this time.

He was not in a hurry at all. He took out the flashlight and magnifying glass in a leisurely manner and just put them on the table when a "huh" sound came from the other side.

He subconsciously raised his head: an aunt in her fifties, wearing very ordinary clothes, with a dark complexion, slightly rough skin, densely covered hands with brown spots, and a vague smell of oil smoke and seasoning. .

Li Ding'an sniffed slightly and made a judgment in his mind: This aunt should be selling fried skewers at a stall, and most likely she is a local from the capital.

Looking down, I saw that there was no box in my hands, nor was I holding a box. There was an artificial leather bag hanging diagonally on my chest, and the things were probably inside.

He smiled gently: "Auntie, what do you want to see?"

The aunt didn't say anything. She looked at him from top to bottom first, and then looked at the nameplate in front of him: Li Ding'an, School of Cultural and Museology, Peking University.

Apart from these nine words, there is no more.

"Have you graduated yet?"

Li Ding'an was stunned for a moment and answered honestly: "No!"

"Oh~~~"

The sound was extremely long, but with just that sound, she lifted her butt just as she reached the chair, hugged the bag and left.

Xie Yuanping burst out laughing, and immediately attracted laughter from several experts nearby.

Li Dingan was so depressed.

Although I am now a graduate student, the question asked by my aunt is "Have you graduated?" rather than "Have you graduated from college?" What should I do?
You can't tell lies with your eyes open: the camera is filming right next to you, and it's live broadcast.

So it’s even harder to brag: Auntie, I’m very famous. If you don’t believe me, just search online...

The aunt was also very clever. She took advantage of the cheerfulness of the people next to her and sat down in front of Xie Yuanping.

There was a young man at the back who didn't care. He smiled and helped her hold the chair.

Auntie looked at the introduction again, and this one was much more reliable: Xie Yuanping, a well-known appraisal expert from the Beijing Jade Association, a member of the Beijing Cultural Relics Appraisal Committee, and a former special expert for the large-scale treasure hunt program "Top of the Forbidden City" on Beijing TV...

She sat down cautiously, opened the bag again, and took out a box about the size of a palm: "Thank you, expert, please take a look at this!"

"Okay!" Xie Yuanping took the thing, "Where did it come from?"

"Pick it up!"

"You're lucky!"

Ridiculing casually, Xie Yuanping opened the box, and slowly, a playful smile appeared on his face: "I really picked it up!"

Since he was idle anyway, Li Ding'an tilted his head and took a look: it was a jade seal with a crouching lion on the top button and a square bottom.The seal is not small, about six centimeters high, and the bottom seal is about three centimeters in diameter.

It is also a coincidence, green texture, jasper.

After just one glance, Xie Yuanping shook his head, and then took out the seal. When he saw the seal, he laughed out loud.

Li Ding'an was right next to him and could see clearly. When he saw the four words "Zeng Wenzheng Yin" engraved in regular script, a strange look appeared on his face.

Good guy, Zeng Guofan’s seal, and it’s still engraved with “Zeng Wenzheng”?
Just as he was secretly amused, Xie Yuanping pushed the Yinhe box forward: "Fake!"

"Experts, you didn't look carefully and just said it was fake?"

"Don't look at it, it's just fake!"

Xie Yuanping was not polite at all, "Next one!"

The aunt was a little unhappy, but she probably knew something, so she reluctantly put away her things and stood up again.

Then, she saw Li Ding'an, who was grinning and watching the fun.

The aunt had a straight face at first, then rolled her eyes and sat down in front of him.

He stopped laughing immediately: No, you think I am young and easy to coax, right?
"Young man, please take a look..." The aunt pushed the thing forward and smiled flatteringly, "Although I picked it up, I asked an expert to see it and said it is a really good thing..."

Li Ding'an didn't bother to look at it: "Auntie, this seal is fake. There are too many things wrong with it: silver and copper are used as seals, and gold and jade are used as seals. Even in the Qing Dynasty, only the emperor would use jade to carve seals. Stone quality Although there are also private seals, they can only use Shoushan stone and chicken blood stone... Wen is a bird, and military is an animal... The military seal of the fourth-grade military attache in the Qing Dynasty is a lion seal, but it is made of copper, and it is never so big... 'Wen Zheng' It was a posthumous title given by the emperor after Zeng Guofan's death. It could not be used to carve a seal, even a private seal for burial..."

"Also, the material is wrong. This is Qinghai jasper. To be precise: this is Mangya jasper, which only came out around 2000... What's more important is that it was later aged..."

Li Ding'an paused for a moment, then picked up the seal and smelled it. His smile became even weirder: "It seems to have come out of the pot you put on the stall..."

The aunt was stunned for a moment, then she frowned, picked up her things and left, pouting as she walked: "What an expert!"

The Tibetans lining up around burst into laughter.

Some people were confused and came to Li Ding'an's table: "What did you mean, this seal is fried?"

Li Ding'an nodded: "Yes, first freeze, then fry... a typical antique jade old technique."

"But why do you say 'she put the pot on the table'?"

"Oh... you were far away and didn't smell it: this aunt smells very strongly of oil smoke and sauce. She is most likely selling fried skewers..."

"real or fake?"

"I guess it's true. You just left without looking at the curse?"

"Hey, can you smell this? Who is this young man..."

"No matter who he is, he seems to be a bit real..."

"Nonsense, how can you sit here if you don't have any skills?"

The people next to me thought: This is really the truth.

Even without even getting started, you can tell that the format, material, and seal are wrong, and they are still old-fashioned, which shows that your eyesight is really good, but it doesn't seem to be particularly difficult to put it here.

For example, Xie Yuanping just looked at it and said frankly that the seal was fake, which meant that he had also seen this.

This also shows that this young expert who is a bit too much may not be worse than Xie Yuanping.

Thinking of this, someone suddenly moved over from behind other teams and sat opposite Li Ding'an.

Seeing what this man was holding, the director's eyes lit up and he winked at the cameraman.

The cameraman nodded slightly: Don't worry, we're still filming...

The box is relatively large, but it does not seem to be very heavy. At least it is not difficult for this person to hold it in his arms, and it does not make much movement when it is placed on the table.

The uncle was probably in his early sixties. He was neatly dressed and his hair was combed meticulously. He carefully placed the things on the table and took a special look at the counter sign.

"Li Ding'an, does this name sound familiar?"

"Really?" Li Ding'an smiled, "I guess you have seen someone with the same name somewhere!"

The uncle thought for a while: "It's possible!"

In fact, it's normal to not recognize it. Although the incident in Liao Province was quite big, the biggest impact was only on the antiques and appraisal circles, and at most the cultural and museum circles.

It caused quite a stir in the society, and even made hot searches, but not everyone reads the news, just like the aunt just now: It’s too late to make money by frying skewers, so who has the time to read that stuff?

For an uncle like this, having an impression of the name Li Ding'an means that he often watches videos and uses Douyin, which is considered very fashionable among his peers...

He nodded and opened the box with dignity: "Young man, take a good look at it, it's an absolute good thing: Xuande Furnace!"

What the hell?
In an instant, Li Ding'an opened his eyes wide and stared at the things the uncle took out of the box.

Don't tell me, at first glance it looks a bit like it: a round mouth, a fat belly, round feet, and the whole thing looks like a big bowl.Moreover, it is purple with black, black with red, and there are sparse golden decorations on it, which is in line with the typical "eggplant skin dark gold earless stove" shape.

It is also very large, with a height of 25 centimeters and a belly diameter of about [-] meters. The real Xuande furnace is only one-seventh or seventy-eighth the size of this one at most.Even among the Qianlong imitation Xuande furnaces that "respect big things", they are definitely considered "important items".

Don't worry about whether it's an imitation or not. As long as it's made of copper, it should weigh at least twenty kilograms. But the strange thing is that this person felt very relaxed when he took it out of the box?

Suspiciously, Li Ding'an stretched out his hand. As soon as he touched it, he was stunned: What's copper? This thing is not metal.

Just like now, he pinched the edge with three fingers and turned it over.

Looking at the bottom model again, my eyes almost popped out: Can such a thing be used for selection?
How did the organizer let it in?

Subconsciously, he raised his head and realized that the camera was filming him.Looking again, the director was standing next to the photographer, grinning at himself with his teeth bared.

Got it, on purpose!
He sighed and asked casually: "Uncle, where did this thing come from?"

The uncle said matter-of-factly: "Is it passed down from ancestors?"

What?
Li Ding'an was stunned for a long time and then said: "Uncle, let me tell you, don't be angry: this thing is probably not as old as your grandson!"

The uncle immediately became annoyed, "Can the young man speak? He is blind, right?"

Li Ding'an was not angry. He turned the basin over helplessly and pointed at the bottom: "Read it!"

"202... Well, no... this is an inscription symbol. How do I recognize it?"

"Uncle, this is not an inscription, it is a number: 2022, it was just made last year..."

"Don't worry about the year it was made. I'll tell you this: Baoli took one in Hong Kong the year before last. It was exactly the same as mine. It cost [-] billion..."

"No, uncle, here's more: Look, Changle Fiberglass Handicraft Factory in Dongguan, Guangdong...tie, tie, tie..."

Li Ding'an knocked twice more: "If you listen to this sound again, is it made of plastic... How could there be such a thing in the Ming Dynasty?"

"Let's not talk about plastic and fiberglass for now. Let's take a look at this first: Is it the shape of the 'skimming stone stove' unique to the Chenghua period? Is it the 'eggplant skin dark gold sand lacquer gold and copper decoration'?"

"It is indeed the shape of a stone furnace, and it is indeed the dark gold color of eggplant skin..."

"Isn't that right?"

The uncle didn't give him a chance to speak at all: "Don't worry about the rest, just talk about these two things, right?"

Li Ding'an was numb: You can't see such a big "glass fiber reinforced plastic" and "2022" on the top. If you hold it in your hand and shake it, the soft skin will sway, but you still can't see it. Are you right?

Right to what?
