The Book of Appreciation

At one o'clock, Dean Han appeared in the hall together with a dozen or so old people. Behind them were dozens of staff members lined up neatly. Each of these people held an antique in their hands.

The crowd gradually quieted down. When most people saw those antiques, there were strange expressions on their faces, like hope, fear, and even a sense of relief.

Wu Di touched Wang Yuwan beside him, and pouted forward. Wang Yuwan shook his head with a complex expression, and said softly:

"Look, the answer to the mystery will be revealed soon."

Dean Han signaled the staff to put the antiques on the long table, then walked up to the rostrum, clapped his hands, and after everyone quieted down, he said with a smile:

"Okay, let's move on to the fourth item of the conference, which everyone loves and hates! If you succeed, you will be awarded the honorary title of special appraiser. If you fail, you can go back to eat fried meat on the motherboard! Well, there are many newcomers Little guy, let me repeat the rules again. These forty collections are divided into four categories: porcelain, bronzes, calligraphy and paintings, and miscellaneous items. Examination papers, compare the numbers, and write your own judgments on them. If it is true, put a checkmark, if it is fake, put a cross, and if it is old, write the year of imitation! Now, there are all of them, divided into four columns according to the number of the invitation letter, from The two ends of the long table start to be identified, and the time limit for each item is 3 minutes! The total time limit will add another 10 minutes for you, a total of two and a half hours, so that you don’t have to scold me behind my back, old man Han, who has no last name! Well, hurry up and line up! Note Stop, don't embarrass your master!"

Wu Di looked at the antiques placed on the long table by the staff. There were a lot of porcelain, jade, calligraphy and painting, bronzes, and ancient coins, covering almost all the major items of antiques. The game is very important to them!Don't talk about honorary titles, it's just such a rare opportunity to test yourself in an all-round way, so don't miss it!

Wu Di's team was assigned to the west end of the long table in the south. He was ranked seventh, and each team played ten people at the same time. His first collection was a blue and white platter.

After everyone took their positions, Dean Han looked down at his watch and said:

"It's [-]:[-], I announce that treasure appraisal will begin!"

Following Dean Han's order, forty young and middle-aged men with white gloves and dignified expressions picked up the antiques in front of them one after another, and began to examine them carefully.

Wu Di didn't do anything, he bent down and looked at the blue and white market carefully.This large plate is really big, with a diameter of more than 35 centimeters!Should be a watch.The decoration is fish swimming in the water, which was found in every dynasty. Although the shapes of the fish are different, they cannot be used as the main basis for dating.

Looking at the glaze color again, the blue is whitish, giving people a clear and transparent feeling, which is the characteristic of the early Yuan blue and white.The glaze surface is relatively smooth, warm and moist like jade, with a soft luster, which is also in line with the characteristics of transparent glaze.Moreover, because the glaze layer is thick and the glaze surface is smooth, it is not very smooth, and the glaze shrinkage points and pinholes, which are commonly known as black spots, are more obvious.There is also a place on the inside of the plate that looks like a tear stain, which is grayish green.Wu Di knew that it was because the glaze layer was too thick, and there was a phenomenon of dripping glaze.

The naked eye can see that there are sparse and uneven large bubbles on the upper layer of the glaze, which are round and transparent. If you look closely with a magnifying glass, there are dense small bubbles in the lower layer, which are off-white and seem to have fog inside the bubbles.

On the edge of the large plate, there is a slight deglazing phenomenon in one place, where the glaze can be seen that the fetal glaze is not tightly bonded.

The bottom of the foot is exposed, but there is no style.There are flakes of rust spots on the surface of the carcass, which are very similar to the commonly known "sesame black spots". This is caused by the accumulation of iron elements in the used carcass and the precipitation of the carcass surface during the firing process.

After reading all the features, he put down the porcelain plate, straightened up and checked the time, and it took 5 minutes!There are already two people waiting behind him!

Wang Yuwan patted his shoulder and said with a smile:

"Don't worry, everyone is the same. Look over there, Yan Ju has been standing there for 5 minutes!"

Wu Di lightly touched the porcelain plate with his left hand, then shook his head with a wry smile at Wang Yuwan, and moved a position forward.According to his judgment, this blue and white piece should be genuine, but the key lies in the word "should be damned". There are so many things that should be in this world!Because the heavenly book told him that there is no should, only true and false, and this one is the modern counterfeit!

Unfavorable start, Wu Di was not discouraged, but the first one was so difficult, so he didn't know how many stumbles he would have to make in the rest!No wonder old man Han dared to promise the honorary title of special appraiser. It seems that he is sure, no two people can take it away!

The second piece is an ancient jade pendant. At this time, a middle-aged man was watching. Wu Di took advantage of the waiting time to glance at the examination room. Many people had sweat on their foreheads, but this is just the beginning. !

However, Director Han kept creating a tense atmosphere on the sidelines. While patrolling around, this old guy urged everyone from time to time, 3 minutes is up, don't delay other people's exams!The most annoying thing is that he deliberately yelled loudly:

"Remind everyone to pay attention again, there are many things here, and your master was blindfolded back then! If you don't see it right again, tsk tsk, this master and one apprentice, this face..."

Many of the dozen or so seniors who stood scattered around to time each person blushed a little, and Bai Guangming muttered in a low voice, but no one heard what he said clearly.Wu Di noticed that several young people obviously froze when they heard this, and thought with a wry smile:

"Time is not enough, and there is a crow making noise beside it. It's really crazy to get good grades!"

The next few pieces are easy, at least Wu Di thinks so.As for the others, one of them stood for more than 5 minutes in front of a picture of peonies that Wu Di passed after only half a minute.

The famille rose in front of Wu Di was exactly the one that caused Yan Ju to stand for 10 minutes just now. He only looked at it for half a minute, and he knew why Yan Ju stood for 10 minutes, and he still couldn't make up his mind.

Pastel porcelain, also known as soft-color porcelain, is one of the four traditional famous porcelains in Jingdezhen Kiln.Pastel is a method of painting on glaze (on the porcelain body) and firing at low temperature.Pastel porcelain is a new variety of overglaze color created on the basis of five-color porcelain in the late Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty and influenced by the production process of enamel-colored porcelain.

It is said that this kind of porcelain is the easiest to date, because only after Kangxi, but it is precisely because of this that it increases the difficulty.There is a lot of room for improvement of new technologies, just like the current replacement of mobile phones, there is often a phenomenon that one dynasty produces several generations of products.As far as Wu Di knows, the famille rose technology of the Qianlong dynasty has been changed for no less than five generations, and the characteristics of each generation are overlapped, and many of them are even the same as those of the previous dynasty. This has caused confusion in judgment. Manipulation, that really kills people!

The celestial ball bottle with flat peach pattern in front of me has a straight mouth and a slightly slanted neck, a short neck, a round belly and round feet.White glaze is applied inside and outside.A peach tree is painted in pastels on the body of the bottle, with luxuriant branches and leaves, winding up from the bottom of the bottle along the abdomen, and eight huge and plump peaches are pressed down on the branches.White glaze is applied inside the ring foot.The six-character three-line inscription "Yongzheng Year System of the Great Qing Dynasty" in Qinghua seal script on the outsole.

Fortunately, there are eight peaches. Yongzheng reigned for a short period of time, and the technology of famille rose has not been updated much, so it is not as difficult to judge as it was during the Qianlong Dynasty.Wu Di let out a long breath.

Regarding the peaches on the pastels, 8 peaches were generally painted in the Yongzheng period, and 9 peaches were painted in the Qianlong period, so there is a saying in the industry that "Yong eight dry nine".However, this is by no means absolute.

The painting method of famille rose porcelain is generally to draw the outline of the pattern on the white porcelain fired at high temperature first, then use arsenic-containing glass white as the base, and then apply the pigment on this layer of glass white, lightly brush it with a clean pen. Gently wash the colors according to the different shades, so that the petals and the clothes of the characters have a sense of light and shade.

Due to the opacification effect of arsenic, glass white has an opaque feeling. After it is mixed with various colors, it will produce pulverization, red color becomes pink, green color becomes light green, yellow color becomes light yellow, and other colors become light yellow. The color also becomes an opaque light tone, and by controlling the amount of it added, a series of shades of different shades can be obtained, giving people a soft and soft feeling, so this kind of glaze color is called "pastel color". .
