Hearing that Mr. Liu said that he would officially teach art, Wu Chen was ecstatic, and finally he was going on the right path!

What he had learned before was all basic theories. Although it is difficult for Mr. Liu to have all kinds of famous books here, it saves him the trouble of studying everywhere.But having said that, anyone who is interested in this industry can learn those basic knowledge slowly.

The Ghost Valley Society has been passed down for so many years and has always been a mysterious organization that has been the benchmark in the industry. It must have some secret techniques of its own. This is the sign of being a successor. of.

If it was said that he was preaching before, testing his understanding and patience, now he is officially teaching!

There is also a reason why Mr. Liu is so serious. First, he is afraid that after Wu Chen masters the technique, he will be lured by profit and go astray. Second, the current industry situation is becoming more and more chaotic. Since Wu Chen has inherited this One has to take on some responsibilities, and to take on such a heavy responsibility, the foundation cannot be solidified.

In the hundreds of thousands of years before the Republic of China, there were no such groups as "cultural and cultural experts" and "treasure experts" who were superior to real experts among collectors.At that time, the antique shop played by itself, and the real players were the real experts; in the industry, everyone lived by their own eyesight, and the old experts were the masters.

In terms of professional collection and Taoism, there are its own industry norms and rules. Up and down in the industry, there is dignity. Whether you are a Jinshi, a champion, a high-ranking official or a prince, you have to call "Brother Dao" and "Brother Dao" when you see old experts. ", that's called courtesy and respect, that's really the golden age of antique dealers and masters: "We are the horns" ah!

This is normal, right.However, thanks to the system, since the reform and opening up, there have been many so-called "experts" who neither collect nor practice. Qualifications” to play with peers, the eyesight of many industry experts who have been trained for decades has been “blinded”, the knowledge learned through decades of hard work, and the skills and skills inherited from their ancestors have all been “blinded” ignorance".

Every time I talk about this with Mr. Tian and the others, Mr. Liu can't help but sigh, the world is not ancient, and evildoers are rampant!

Not to mention the "peasant museums" that appear one after another in various places, they are all kinds of national treasures at every turn, and there are also various TV programs running rampant under the banner of "appreciation". What kind of so-called experts.What's even more outrageous is that on Liulichang Street, some experts can issue a "certificate of appraisal" for a few thousand dollars, and many of them are even time-honored brands, which really discredited the ancestors!

In today's national collection, these actions are undoubtedly destroying the foundation of this business!The few of them saw it in their eyes and were anxious in their hearts, but they were also very helpless. The pronunciation of a few people had long been drowned in the vast waves of enthusiasm from the whole people, not to mention that most of them were already old. It is also tossing and moving, and it can only be cared about when it meets.

Therefore, for the younger generation like Wu Chen and Xu Shaodong, they still have great wishes, hoping that they can, to a certain extent, clear away the current unhealthy tendencies and restore a few clean streams in the industry.

Wu Chen felt a little heavy in his heart when he heard that. He considered himself a lazy person. It was a good thing to encounter such a thing of fighting against bad people and bad things. If he had to try his best to find faults, he might not be able to do it.Moreover, so-called "counterfeiting" experts like Fang Elbow's selective crackdown on counterfeiting imply too much personal utilitarianism, which has always been despised by him.

Fortunately, Mr. Liu also knew the current situation, and it was not possible to turn it around by relying on manpower. It was enough to ask Wu Chen to stand up straight and take action when encountering it.

Since you want to meddle in your own business, you must have diamonds.

As an industry secret society, Guigu Society really has its own unique means of distinguishing.Mr. Liu took out a random look, and took out a jade pendant from his pocket: "Look."

Wu Chen saw that this jade pendant was in the common shape of a monkey offering peaches, half the size of a palm, and it looked tight and shiny on the top. It seemed that it had been coiled for a long time. From the shape to the knife technique, there was an ancient style of Han and Jin. But when he took a "secret" peek, he immediately discovered that it was a new product!

"New oil?" Seeing that Mr. Liu carried it with him, it must not be such a simple item, so Wu Chen didn't want to be too eye-catching.

The so-called oil extraction refers to the ancient method of coloring jade.After the ancient jade is buried in the soil, due to the environment, it has been eroded for a long time, resulting in a partial or overall change in color, which is called oozing color.Color is one of the criteria for identifying the age of jade.

Generally speaking, before the Song Dynasty it was called Lao Ti You, while in Ming and Qing Dynasties it was called Xin Ti You.Wu Chen also learned a lot of terminology during this time, and he roughly knows some general methods for making ancient jade old, as well as the conventional identification methods.What he said implicitly indicated that this piece of ancient jade was imitated by later generations.

"Dogs are jealous!" Mr. Liu shook his head with a smile. He was already very satisfied that Wu Chen could see that this was a new product. Not to mention ordinary people, even Tian Lao and the others will not be able to break it in a short time.

The so-called dog vinegar is the raw material used for coloring in modern times. It is often thick and black dog blood, so it is also called dog vinegar, which is worthless.

Mr. Liu never thought that Wu Chen would be able to judge it so quickly. Although he was not completely right, he was very relieved when he saw the problem.He originally thought that Wu Chen would need to use some techniques.In addition to seeing, smelling and touching ancient jade directly based on experience, there are also some techniques, such as boiling jade to remove ash.

After the old jade is buried in the soil for a long time, a layer of regolith will appear on the surface of the jade. After being unearthed, the patina formed by the person who pans the jade touches will wrap this layer of regolith inside.

If soaked in warm water, after the patina is destroyed, a layer of gray matter will appear on the surface of the jade from the inside to the outside of the regolith, which is the so-called "cooking jade to get ash".

However, because of this universal feature, when a jade article is fake, it will deliberately imitate the gray matter layer. Therefore, whether the ash is produced or not cannot be used as the only criterion for testing the authenticity of the jade article.

Now that Wu Chen answered quickly, Mr. Liu didn't dawdle. He pointed to the chicken blood line on the jade pendant and said, this is the characteristic of a dog beating vinegar. If you look closely at the edge of the blood bump, there will be something like a knot. This is called a red knot, which is relatively easy to recognize, but most people will ignore it.

Isn't this similar to the dizziness around the color roots in Jadeite B?The habits of physics are always similar, so Wu Chen got it right and memorized it.
