Unparalleled Treasures

Zhong Yishan pondered for a moment, then asked the old man: "Sir, what is your surname..."

The old man replied still half-deadly: "Miangui, surnamed Liang, Lao Zhong, how about my Kangxi teapot?"

The old man was a bit dependent on his old age. Compared with Zhong Yishan's age, he was not too young. Calling Zhong Yishan "Old Zhong" was a respectful title for Zhong Yishan. 【.

Zhong Yishan smiled and replied: "Mr. Liang, if you want to talk about your teapot, let me say this. In the museum, the Kangxi blue and white teapot with pine, bamboo and plum patterns is collected. , bamboo, and pine trees, painted pine, bamboo, and plum patterns with blue and white, integrating painting and sculpture, it is also exquisite and elegant..."

"The proportion of the pot body, the pot flow, and the pot handle is moderate, harmonious and unified, dignified and generous. In terms of style recognition, because it is an imitation of Ming Dynasty works, the inscription is the four-character imitation of 'Chenghua Nianzhi'..."

The old man was slightly startled, and then said: "What do you mean by that? Could it be that my Kangxi teapot is a fake?"

After Zhang Can and Ye Dongyang completed the transfer and handover procedures, they were about to issue an appraisal certificate. Ye Dongyang smiled and shook his head, saying that it was not necessary. The goods and their value were all in front of them. Paper, what's the difference.

Zhang Can also smiled, and gave up on that. When he looked up, he saw that old man Liang seemed dissatisfied with Zhong Yishan's evaluation, so he took a closer look at the teapot in front of Zhong Yishan.

Zhong Yishan smiled and did not answer, but pushed the teapot in front of Zhang Can.

Zhang Canwei pondered for a while, then smiled and said: "Old Liang, Kangxi blue and white painting techniques have also undergone many reforms and innovations, forming their own unique style. Single-line flat painting, but the technique of "dividing water and cracking" is used, which is thick, elegant and layered..."

The so-called "water splitting" is to use the tip of the brush to dip in different shades of water and paint on the tire. It is technically demanding. There are at least three or five types, and at most it can be divided into different color levels. When using the brush, you can hook, dye, crack and rub , Pointing and using various painting techniques, it all depends on the artist's handwriting.

The composition also pays attention to diversification, emphasizing that the picture is lively and interesting, and has a wide field of vision. Regardless of the size of the picture, there is a perfect situation. It can be said that the Kangxi blue and white general painting technique is skillfully and vividly drawn in the form of patterns. on china.

"On the other hand, the plum pattern on Liang Lao's pot is not only monotonous, but also has a westernized tendency. This should be the characteristic of the maker's scientific training in modern art. In terms of painting techniques, Kangxi blue and white Influenced by Chinese painting, it pays attention to artistic conception rather than realism. There is an artistic realm that does not seek similarity in shape but only conveys charm, which is difficult for imitations to describe..."

Old Man Liang gave Zhang Can an unconvinced look, and said immediately because he was a little older than Zhong Yishan, "You young man, don't dare to talk nonsense..."

Zhang Can smiled, "Old Liang, when imitations are made old, hydrofluoric acid is often used to treat the surface of the glaze, or potassium permanganate is used to smear the glaze. The imitations are soaked in hydrofluoric acid, and the acid will cover the utensils from top to bottom. Corrosion inside and out, so the gloss on the top and bottom of the imitation is mostly the same.”

"As for the real product, the handle, body, and bottom are more prone to wear and tear after many years of use, and if it is a treasure that has been buried in the ground for many years, the exterior is slightly more corroded than the interior..."

When Zhang Can said this, he held up the teapot, and pointed out the patterns on the handle, spout, etc. to Old Man Liang.

It's just that Old Man Liang's eyesight is dim, so he couldn't tell him clearly all of a sudden.

Seeing that Old Man Liang opened his mouth to question again, Zhang Can said immediately: "Old Liang, you have inscriptions. Although Kangxi blue and white inscriptions are diverse, they also have a relatively obvious feature. Generally speaking, early blue and white are generally not written. Emperor's reign mark..."

"The Zhaitang in the palace or imperial garden does not have double circles, such as 'Harmony Hall System', 'Kangxi Xinhai Harmony Hall System', 'Kangxi Renzi Harmony Hall System', etc., but it is expected."

Zhong Yishan, Huang Mo, Xu Qianfan, Lan Zhiqi, and those who were experienced in blue and white porcelain all nodded secretly. What Zhang Can said not only revealed the characteristics of the genuine product, but also the method of making the fake and the The differences are all mentioned, not only very professional and knowledgeable, but also very simple and easy to understand, people only listen to it once, and they will have a deep impression.

"And the late Kangxi blue and white inscriptions have one of the best recognizable places. For example, in the late 'Great Qing Dynasty', the character 'Qing', the character 'Yue' on the lower right is usually written vertically, and the character 'Da Qing' is usually written vertically. The character "Xi" in the Qing Emperor Kangxi Year System has the saying of "one stroke, three ministers and two strokes". The four points in the lower part have two types: straight and smooth..."

When Zhang Can said this, he was basically telling the old man Liang that it was an imitation of the Ming Dynasty, but it was signed by the "Kangxi Year System of the Qing Dynasty". Moreover, there is no obvious difference between the Qing characters and the Xi characters. This is a modern counterfeit, shoddy, counterfeit, such a flawed imitation, it can be said that it is not worth anything, why do you want to mess with it?

Old man Liang said relentlessly, "Even if I'm a fake, based on your vision and experience, how much should it be worth?"

The people in the audience roared with laughter, and someone said: "Everyone has said that you are a fake with many flaws. Even I know it. If you want to talk about the price, I can offer you a price, six yuan..."

Another person simply said: "If it is possible to bid, I am willing to make a price, five yuan and fifty cents..."

"Five yuan..." Many people laughed.

Zhang Can held back his laughter and said seriously, "However, this is also a high-quality imitation. As far as the price is concerned, it should be worth about five hundred. However, it depends on the willingness of both parties to the transaction."

The old man Liang was not embarrassed at all, he smiled and said: "Yes, it is true, the little brother not only has sharp eyes, but also speaks eloquently, and even knows the price very well. To be honest, I will not hide it from you. I will buy this teapot." It only costs 480 yuan, hehe..."

As Old Man Liang said, he couldn't stop laughing.

Others didn't understand what the two old men's intentions were, but it was obvious that Old Man Liang was not just trying to identify a high-quality imitation.

Zhang Can, on the other hand, remained motionless, staring at old man Liang's left hand without blinking.

Sure enough, after Old Man Liang finished laughing, he lowered his left hand, and a stick-shaped thing slipped out from his sleeve, which was a scroll of calligraphy and painting.

Old man Liang looked solemn at this time, and gently placed the calligraphy and painting on the table in front of Zhang Can, and then slowly opened it.

Even if it was Zhang Can, he couldn't help exclaiming, "Fight from all sides", Zhong Yishan and others even stared straight.

To be honest, I came to appraise treasures with Zhang Can today, that is, the luminous pearls and Zhou Han's works. In the final analysis, they are just modern jewelry and handicrafts.

It's just that as soon as this calligraphy and painting came out, this embarrassing scene was immediately broken.

It should be noted that this eight-faced attack is not about anything else, but the unique brushwork of Mi Fu, a calligrapher, painter, calligraphy and painting theorist in the Northern Song Dynasty, known as Mi Dian.

However, Old Man Liang's picture scroll, which obviously has the characteristics of Mi Fu's all-round appearance, is actually a picture of pink and bamboo landscapes.

The only painting by Mi Fu that can be seen now is hard to say that it is a real "rice painting". And the inscription, but whether this rice painting is genuine or fake, or ghostwritten, no one has yet, and there is not enough evidence to make it clear.

Mi Fu's calligraphy is called "Shu". Vigorous and fresh character.

This can be seen at a glance from the existing collections in the museum.

The inscriptions and postscripts on this picture of carnation and bamboo landscape in front of me are strange and super-stylish, written casually, with natural charm, more spirited spirit, and more interesting sense of form.Unconstrained yet stable, the connotation is generous and clear, and the style of calligraphy is unrestrained and unrestrained, which is in line with the law, and has the charm of "outstanding from all sides".

The technique used in this landscape painting is also thick ink, scorched ink, horizontal dots, and dot clusters in different sizes to show the layers of mountain tops, fuzzy clouds, and vigorous green bamboos, which is exactly the Jiangnan scenery of "Mijia Yunshan". .

According to rumors, there are no handed down works of Mi Fu's paintings at all, but his son has left more works, which makes this style of painting continue and is praised by the history of painting.

So is this pink and bamboo landscape the work of Mi Fu or his son?

Zhong Yishan didn't dare to jump to conclusions, Huang Mo, Lan Zhiqi, and Xu Qianfan didn't dare speak out.

Zhang Can can conclude that the paper used in this painting is the same kind of paper as Mi Fu's handed down coral stickers. This kind of paper is light yellow and has more bamboo fibers on the paper. It is not easy in the high imitation industry at present. found material.

Besides, Zhang Can can conclude that the paper material has a history of thousands of years. Even the backing paper used for paintings is not only the best rice paper, but its history can be traced back to a hundred years ago.

The inscription and postscript, except for the words "the original work of the former minister Fu, and the official postscript appraised by the minister Mi Youren", the rest of the private seals are only Liao Liao three parties. unrecognizable.

If it is a high-quality imitation of modern people, Zhang Can can recognize it at a glance, but Zhang Can can conclude that the paper, brushwork, and ink on it are indeed from more than 900 years ago.

But whether this painting is Mi Fu's own work or his son's representative work is also a big problem for Zhang Can, because this is an isolated copy and there is no convincing comparison.

Old Man Liang chuckled at this moment, and said, "How about it, Boss Xiao Zhang, can you show your skills?" u28961u24392u31383u38321u35712_
