Live appraising treasures, I became a national treasure expert?

The fake one is here, where did the real thing go?

God knows.

Li Ding'an looked at it again and again, making sure he saw it correctly, and let out a long sigh: No matter what, this is not China?

But I'm not sure, and I always feel unwilling to do so.

After thinking for a while, he looked around and walked towards another display cabinet.

Li Ding'an remembered clearly that those people also stayed in front of this section of the counter, and for a long time.

Look down and look again... Huh?

At first glance, it looks like a pocket made of a bunch of rotten iron wires, garnished with a bunch of scrap iron pieces, then painted with a layer of paint, and then buried for a long time, causing a lot of rust.

But don't doubt it, this is definitely a Ruyi silver crown from the prosperous Tang Dynasty, using gilt silver filigree technology.

However, gilding was only called gold in the Song Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, it was called mud gold. To put it simply: silver wire is hot-wrapped and wrapped in gold mud, and then filigree is used to weave it into a crown.

The process is very complicated. Let's not mention the filigree part, let's talk about gilding: gold and mercury are synthesized into gold amalgam, then dyed with silver wire, and then heated to evaporate the mercury, and a gold-coated silver wire is formed.

Anyone who knows a little bit about medicine knows what the evaporation of mercury means: Either a lot of people die or a lot of people are paralyzed. Once they are paralyzed, they will be paralyzed for life.

Seeking truth from facts: Not to mention the nomadic peoples, not even the Tang Dynasty’s craftsmen (unofficial gold and silver workshops) have mastered this technology. The only ones who can make this thing are Wensi Yuan (the Tang Dynasty palace’s agency in charge of manufacturing gold and silverware) ).

Therefore, there is no other way for this thing to get here, except for the imperial gift.

Looking at the shape, there is a wishful crown in the front, cirrus cloud wings in the back, phoenix birds flying on both sides, and then decorated with round gold ornaments such as elixir, peony, lotus, chrysanthemum, eagle, and wild goose... 99.9% , the phoenix crown given to Turk Ketun (Queen of the Khans) by the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Look at the label again: Unearthed from the tomb of Viga Khan.

Haha, he was the one who wrote the line about the dark side of Jueteqin Pai, calling the Han people all bad guys. Therefore, 99% of this phoenix crown was given by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty.

Unfortunately, it’s fake.

Where did it really go?
God knows……

Shaking his head as if laughing, he recalled again:
"Besides this one, what else is there?"

"Your Excellency, there is also a set of gold horse gear, twenty-four pieces in total, as well as a silver crown, a jade jade, and a scripture!"

"All here?"

"Correct!"

There are indeed scriptures, and there are quite a lot of them, but the sets of gold harnesses and jade... Li Ding'an really didn't see them.

It's gone full circle...did you miss it?

After taking a look, he looked at Yu Huiyin: "Are you hungry?"

"Not hungry!"

"Then let's take a look!"

"it is good!"

Then one lap, two laps, three laps...

Still no harness was found. There was a pair of saddles from the Rouran period and stirrups from the Turkic period, but the former was made of wood and the latter was made of iron.

Besides, it’s not complete.

There are also jade articles, including finger rings from the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties, and jade cups and bowls from the Uighur period earlier, but there is no "bi".

Isn’t it “all here”?

But that's not the point.

A rock panel painting of the Sun God is a typical religious work of the Xiongnu period that believed in the "Sun God". Therefore, it is a serious ritual tool for worshiping the God.

But unfortunately, the rust on it was boiled with alum, and the soil was made by wrapping loess and burning it with fire.

In short, fake...

A bronze dragon-head stove with this shape. If it weren't for the military pot that the Han general used to cook for him when he was conquering the Huns, Li Ding'an would have dared to chew it.

Count on your fingers again: Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, Zhao Chongguo, Li Guang, Li Gan, Zhao Ponu, Li Guangli, Dou Gu, Dou Xian... Which one is not famous in history and a famous general?
It's a pity that it was soaked in sulfuric acid...

There is also a sheep-headed bronze knife with the typical style of the northern nomads during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

No exception, it’s still fake…

There are also two gold butterfly-shaped belt hooks from the Xianbei period, haha, they are still fake...

After two laps, Li Ding'an was already numb.

A rough calculation shows that there are not many fake items, perhaps less than 10% of the total number of cultural relics in the exhibition area on the second floor.

The problem is, this is a museum, and there are thousands of cultural relics on the second floor alone. Even if it is only one tenth, there are hundreds. The key is that, without exception, this tenth is the most expensive part.

On the other hand, it is not that museums cannot have imitations, but they are temporary replacements after the cultural relics are borrowed for exhibition. They must be clearly marked on the label, but the labels on these items must all be genuine.

It is not that there are no fakes in museums. I have found them all over the world, including the National Museum of China and the Forbidden City in China.

But don’t say for sure, even if there is even the slightest doubt, it will never be exhibited... How else can it be called a museum, an art palace, a local and even a national cultural living room?
But here, it is upright and blatant...

You want to ask why?
Hehehe...

Just when he didn't know what to say, Li Ding'an was suddenly stunned: he saw the scripture.

The subconscious memories in my mind are yes, those Japanese also stayed here for a long time.

Look carefully again, the Manichean "Great Gospel", in sheepskin.

Unearthed from the tomb of Tengri Khan, the eighth Khan of the Uighurs, Manichaeism was the state religion of the Uighurs at that time. The time was roughly the middle of Tang Shunzong, which was also the honeymoon period of the two countries.

But that's not the point. The point is that this book is really authentic.

Look carefully...it's absolutely unmistakable, it's 100% true. But he was very sure that the Japanese were reading this book at that time, and it also mentioned the auction price: 3.5 million to 4 million US dollars...

For a moment, Li Ding'an felt as if ten thousand mythical beasts were running through his heart.

The thing is still on display in the museum, how can he take pictures of it?
It's so simple... Not to mention here, even in China, something like this is a legitimate national treasure.

Sure enough, history keeps repeating itself...

Feeling unspeakably absurd in his heart, and not knowing how long it had been, Yu Huiyin tugged on his sleeve: "Are you fascinated?"

I'm obsessed...

He exhaled heavily: "Let's go!"

"Don't watch it?"

A bunch of fake stuff, what’s the point?
……

Watching him go downstairs, several assistants hurriedly followed behind.

After eating something at a nearby restaurant, we finally waited for Wang Yongqian.

"How about it?"

"After coordination, we will send someone tomorrow for a formal inspection."

"That's good!"

Feeling that he was not in a high mood, Wang Yongqian smiled and said, "I didn't take you with me. Are you angry?"

Is that a piece of cake?

"It's okay, I've already scolded you..."

"What are you scolding?"

Li Ding'an pointed to the rock sculpture at the entrance of the museum.

Secretary Liu took a look and almost stopped.

Wang Yongqian was so helpless: How old are you?

"No more joking, let me tell you something serious!"

Li Ding'an sighed and organized his words, "I just walked around and found that there are a lot of problematic things in this museum."

"Which aspect is it, the research is wrong or the research is not detailed?"

"It's not...it's just that things are not accurate."

Not quite accurate... Fake, fake?

Isn’t it normal to have fakes in museums?
Let’s not talk about it here, but in China, which museum dares to say that everything in its collection is authentic and that it has not been scrutinized when collecting and collecting it?
Neither the National Museum of China nor the Forbidden City dare to say this... and these two companies have the most problematic items.

Of course, it is also because these two families have too many cultural relics and their origins are too complicated...

"Could it be that the cultural relics are not there and a replacement model is placed?"

"No, both the label and the librarian's introduction say it is genuine."

Li Ding'an sighed: "It was just a coincidence that I happened to meet a few Japanese people again, and I heard them discussing how to take pictures of part of the collection."

"Are those the fakes you think they are?"

"Correct!"

Combined with Li Ding'an's previous sentence: There are a lot of problematic things in it...

Wang Yongqian frowned subconsciously: Substituting one thing for another, keeping oneself in check?
If this is just the case, it is not unusual. Such things also happen in China, and they happen from time to time.

Farther away, at the Chengde Museum about two thousand years ago, the managers successively exchanged handicrafts for authentic ones. In the past ten years, a total of nearly 300 precious cultural relics, including first and second grade, were stolen... In the end, the main culprit was sentenced to death.

Closer to home, the treasure of Yunbo Town Hall, the Bronze Ox and Tiger, was still guarded and stolen, and it was still stolen by others... Fortunately, it was recovered in the end.

There are also foreign ones: last year's theft case of the British Museum, which caused a global sensation, was still carried out by insiders. According to statistics, more than 2,000 cultural relics were stolen, and the level of theft was still high: all of them are national treasures of other countries...

So, very common.

"and then?"

"Then, the two items they are planning to sell are not here, whether they are real or fake. But this is not the point. The point is: the other two items they are planning to sell are here, but I can guarantee that the ones in the cabinet are 10,000% authentic!”

Wang Yongqian leaned back fiercely: "What did you say?"

"Don't you understand?" Li Ding'an glanced at him, "You don't understand what you are doing?"

Of course Wang Yongqian understands: before being transferred to the ministry, he served as deputy director of the Department of Museums and Social Cultural Relics of the Cultural Relics Bureau, in charge of cultural relics.

Therefore, he should not understand too well: If Li Ding'an read and heard correctly, it means that the things are still in the museum and the shooting has started outside?
What does this amount to, booking in advance?

You take a look first, then bid if you find it right. If the price is right, I will replace it for you...

How is it possible... this is a state-owned provincial museum?

It took a long time before Wang Yongqian came back to his senses: "Those people are Japanese, so they were speaking Japanese at that time, right... Did you hear that clearly?"

"It took me three months to learn Mongolian, Liao, and Bronze inscriptions. After that, I didn't learn any more. I learned Uighur and Turkic scripts (Turkic, Uighur, and Mongolian scripts come from the same origin) naturally..."

Li Ding'an sneered, "So, it's such a simple thing, don't I know how to do it with my mouth?"

Wang Yongqian opened his mouth, wanting to curse something.

"Then where and how to shoot?"

"What do you mean, let me ask?"

Wang Yongqian almost choked: Are you deliberately making excuses? (End of chapter)
