Chapter 1046 Questionable seal
The work was done, and it was noon. Since Huang Shanyi was troubled, it was right to invite him to a meal, and Huang Shanyi happily agreed.

Afterwards, everyone walked out of the office and prepared to go to the restaurant.At this time, Huang Shanyi saw a brocade box in Ying Mingxin's hand, and asked, "Boss Ying, is the high imitation you are holding in your hand?"

After Ying Mingxin nodded to confirm, he continued, "Can you give me some insight at that time?"

Of course, Ying Mingxin would not disagree with this point, so the group walked to the private room of the restaurant, and after ordering, Ying Mingxin took out the food.

Seeing that it turned out to be a beautiful Qing Kangxi blue-and-white Tiger Creek jar with a cover, Huang Shanyi was a little surprised at first, and after he looked at the blue-and-white jar, he asked incredulously: "Is this really a fake? "

Seeing Huang Shanyi looking at him, Chu Chen explained the flaws again, which convinced Huang Shanyi completely.

However, what Chu Chen didn't know was that his explanation not only made Huang Shanyi believe in his judgment, but also made Huang Shanyi look at him with admiration. less than.

Huang Shanyi's attention returned to the porcelain in front of him. He thought that Ying Mingxin had said that this kind of porcelain had been discovered several times before, and when he thought of the porcelain treasures at home, he couldn't help feeling a little worried.

"Such a superb imitation technology, I won't be caught by it, right?"

Thinking of this, Huang Shanyi felt very uneasy. When he saw Chu Chen, he suddenly thought of a simple and effective solution. Although he didn't know how Chu Chen's overall appraisal level was, he definitely had something for this kind of porcelain. After special research, he is now worried about this kind of porcelain, as long as he asks Chu Chen to help identify it.

So, he quickly asked with a smile on his face: "Mr. Chu, I wonder if I could ask you for a favor?"

When Huang Shanyi asked such a question, Chu Chen knew what he wanted to ask him to do. He promised nothing about this matter, but this afternoon he originally wanted to appraise Jiang Jiachang's hailao porcelain. Could it be postponed until tomorrow? ?
Seeing that Chu Chen seemed a little hesitant, Huang Shanyi quickly said, "Mr. Chu, I'm not in a hurry. You can go when you're done."

At this time, Jiang Jiachang smiled and said that he was not in a hurry. The reason why he said this was also for Chu Chen's sake. Favors are the hardest thing to pay back. Chu Chen just owed Huang Shanyi a favor, and now he will pay it back immediately. is the best choice.Besides, his salvaged porcelain won't break if it's convenient, so why not do it for Chu Chen?

Since Jiang Jiachang said so, Chu Chen agreed to the matter.For this, Huang Shanyi was very happy and expressed his gratitude.

After enjoying a sumptuous lunch, everyone drove to Huang Shanik's mansion.The area here is larger than Chu Chen's villa. The layout and decoration of the yard are all Chinese style, and the interior decoration is also the same.

Huang Shanyi was more hospitable. He invited everyone to drink tea for a while, chatted for a while, then stood up and took everyone to a room next to the study.

Chu Chen saw several cabinets such as antique racks in the room, on which were placed many antique works of art, among which porcelain accounted for the largest proportion, there were about twenty or thirty pieces.Although the number is not too much, but all of them look like high-quality goods, and all of them are national treasures, which makes everyone salivate.

In response to everyone's reaction, Huang Shanyi's expression also looked a little proud, he said with a smile: "My collection philosophy is to prefer scarcity to excess, and I would rather spend more money to buy a rare antique, even if it is not a complete one, I will not buy low-end utensils. "

Zhao Qirui nodded in agreement: "When we buy antiques, we should buy cultural relics with artistic value. Investing in or collecting those low-end antiques does not mean much to us. Even if an item worth [-] doubles, it will not be worth it. It's only thirty thousand."

Although Ying Mingxin agreed with this, he still asked, "Can't you buy lower-grade antiques?"

"It's not that you can't buy it, but it depends on what you are buying it for."

Zhao Qirui said: "If you are doing it for hobbies and research, then buying low-end antiques is definitely no problem. If you are using them for collection and investment, it is better to buy high-quality antiques, not to mention the rapid appreciation, because of the high popularity. It is also more convenient. Specifically, we need to listen to the opinions of the practitioners."

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Chu Chen said with a smile: "Actually, it is generally best to have the three criteria of 'authenticity, precision, and wonder' when purchasing collections. Really refers to genuine products, and fine refers to high-quality antiques, which are historical value and artistic value. For relatively high-end antiques, rare means rare, and rare things are more expensive is the law in market transactions. Between rare items and rare ones, rare ones should be bought first.”

"In addition to these three points, when we buy antiques, it's best to choose those with strong practicality..."

Ying Mingxin asked curiously: "What is an antique that is highly usable from the past to the present?"

Chu Chen said: "It is those ancient works of art that are wearable, playable, suitable for display and decoration, and can be hung for viewing. For example: the same ancient jade wares, jade pendants that can be worn for decoration, and jade plaques are higher than jade belt hooks. The value of jade-like objects."

Everyone nodded to show their understanding, and Chu Chen continued: "In our antique jargon, 'porcelain is fluffy, it's not worth a penny', 'porcelain is not worth half a penny if it's fluffy', and 'take it if you want it' is also a common concept of everyone. .However, this is also a relative term, otherwise there would be no such saying, "Even if you have a lot of money, it is not as good as a piece of porcelain."

"In our antique market, famous and famous porcelains with first-class appearance are limited in stock and expensive. Those high-grade porcelains with slight disabilities are rare, and even severely damaged 'fine porcelains' and high-end porcelain specimens are rare. It has become a high-priced commodity in the market, and a piece of low-grade complete Republic of China porcelain is not as easy to sell as a piece of high-end porcelain.”

"From this, it can also be seen that people have a very high awareness of the value of art. Therefore, when we buy antiques, we should put artistic standards first. Between low-end complete and high-end remnants, we should give priority to buying exquisite For example, a high-end remnant is a dragon scale, and a low-end whole is a pig, so everyone should know which one to choose, right?"

Hearing this, everyone chuckled a few times and agreed with Chu Chen's analysis.Of course, they are all masters who are not short of money. Generally, unless the thing is really special, it is possible to buy a residual weapon.

Next, Chu Chen helped to identify those porcelains, while Huang Shanyi led others to appreciate his collection, and introduced relevant data and stories from time to time, everyone listened with great interest.

In fact, when Huang Shanyi bought these porcelains, he was appraised by famous experts, and there was more than one. Therefore, the possibility of making mistakes was very low. If you have any doubts, you have to figure it out, otherwise you will feel uncomfortable in your heart.

After Chu Chen appraised each piece carefully, he found that there were no fakes among them, but he also felt that the trip was worthwhile to see so many rare porcelains at once.

Seeing Chu Chen approaching, Huang Shanyi asked nervously, "How is it?"

Chu Chen smiled and shook his head: "I think they are all genuine."

After hearing Chu Chen's reply, Huang Shanyi was relieved and at the same time very happy, and quickly expressed his gratitude to Chu Chen.

Chu Chen waved his hand, indicating that it was nothing more than a little effort. At this moment, he saw a field yellow seal placed on the shelf in front of him. This seal looked pure and rich in stone color, with red in the yellow, as clear as ice. , vaguely exuding the air of a king, in terms of material, it is a rare good seal.

It's rare to see a Tianhuang seal with such an excellent material. Chu Chen was also a little delighted to see it. He pointed to the seal and asked, "Mr. Huang, can I appreciate this seal?"

Huang Shanyi followed Chu Chen's gaze and smiled and said it was okay.

Chu Chen stepped forward and carefully took the seal in his hand. The seal was a regular square, slender and delicate, with perfect proportions.The lines in the stone are clear, and the threads are like brocade. Because it is completely useless, its texture is even more psychic.There is a line of inscriptions engraved on one side of the plain wall, and the seal of "Changshuo Wu Jun" is placed at the end of the book.

In addition, the printed text on the printed surface is the four characters "Ji Li Xiao Zhu" in seal script.

Seeing that Chu Chen was very interested in this Fang Tianhuang seal, other people also gathered around. When they saw the inscription, they were all a little surprised. They didn't expect it to be Wu Changshuo's seal.

Wu Changshuo is a famous painter, calligrapher, and seal carver in the late Qing Dynasty. He is an outstanding representative of the "Houhai School".

He studied stone drum prose in seal script, and his brushwork was first influenced by Deng Shiru, Zhao Zhiqian and others, and later he merged and adapted it in his temporary writing "Stone Drum".

His seal cutting often shows the characteristics of being masculine and charming, clumsy and simple, ugly and beautiful, ancient and modern, and changing and upright.Taking Ding Yi from the top and Qin and Han from the bottom, he creatively used the "cutting and obtuse" carving knife to cure seals by combining the cutting and punching techniques of Qian Song and Wu Rangzhi.

His seal cutting works can show vigor in beauty, masculinity in smoothness, and skill in inadvertently.His works are also highly sought after by the world.

At the beginning, Chu Chen couldn't put it down because of this impression, and had an urge to buy it, but when he looked carefully around the seal, he found that there seemed to be signs of wear and tear, which made him a little confused.

Many collectors of Shoushan stone who are just getting started will have such a move. When an old seal is in their hands, they will wear off the engraving on it, because it is not their own name after all, and it is meaningless to keep it.In fact, if you really get the ancient seal, it is best not to easily wear off the seal and margin, so as not to regret it afterwards.

Of course, in addition to the fact that it is not their own name, some people may grind off the seal and engrave the content they want because they don't like the content on it, but this is the seal carved by Wu Chang, so why bother to grind it? drop it?Also, this begs the question...
