Chapter 816 Ask Elder Liu to Appraisal (Continued)
Just now when Liu Qinshu heard that the piece of ink in front of her was probably the famous Li Mo, she was stunned. When Mr. Liu said that, she came back to her senses and asked impatiently, "Dad, what about this piece of ink?" Is Gu Mo really Li Mo?"

Mr. Liu waved his hand and said, "Don't interrupt, let Ah Zhe talk first!"
Liu Sizhe said: "The resemblance is very similar, and not only similar, I think it is exactly the same as the real Li Mo in terms of characteristics. But I am afraid to confirm because Li Mo is too precious, I still have a little doubt. The ink ingot is Li Mo, so why does it still look so new after all these years?"

Mr. Liu nodded in satisfaction: "You know the seriousness, and you can affirm or deny the authenticity of this thing without taking a single bite."

Liu Sizhe said with a smile: "After all, there is only one piece of Li Mo in the world now. I dare not casually determine whether it is true or not. Otherwise, it is easy to say if it is a fake. If it is a fake, then I will be laughed out of my teeth by others." No."

"Ah Chen, what do you think?" Elder Liu turned to look at Chu Chen.

"Master, you also know that I don't have a deep study of ancient ink, and there are too few clues left on this piece of ancient ink. If the gold-painted patterns or inscriptions on the ancient ink can be left behind, it will be easier to identify its authenticity." Too much. So my current conclusion is basically the same as A Zhe's." Chu Chen replied.

"Hmm! You're right!" Mr. Liu said, "However, it is impossible to show all the clues in antique appraisal, otherwise there would not be so many people in this business. With the current clues, I have been able to confirm things. It’s true or false, but I tell you the result, and you don’t know why. So before that, let me ask you a question.”

"Please tell me!"

"Have you ever thought about it before, is there any way to accurately identify it?"

Chu Chen said: "We have thought of two ways before, one is to directly grind the ink, but this method is too violent, so everyone disagrees. The other is to take a small amount of ancient ink powder and use it Appraisal by instruments, but it does some damage to Gu Mo."

Hearing this, Elder Liu asked, "No more?"

Chu Chen and Liu Sizhe looked at each other, then shook their heads.

"You guys! I just can't turn the corner!" Elder Liu said with a smile, "Let me ask you another question. If it was in ancient times, apart from studying ink, what other ways could you prove the authenticity of Li Mo? Before thinking about it, You'd better think carefully about the characteristics of Li Mo that Ah Zhe said just now."

"What way?" The two of them began to think about it, and after a while, when Chu Chen remembered the characteristics of Li Mo that Liu Sizhe had just mentioned, he suddenly understood what Mr. Liu meant.

"Remember? Tell me, what is the easiest way to identify Li Mo?" Elder Liu asked with a smile.

"Put it in the water and see if it melts." After finishing speaking, Chu Chen couldn't help but shook his head with a wry smile. Everyone was a fan of the authorities just now, otherwise the authenticity of Gu Mo would have been proven long ago.

"Hey! Such a simple solution, why didn't I think of it!" Liu Sizhe slapped his thigh fiercely, with annoyed expression on his face.

Mr. Liu chuckled and said: "The ancients had no good way to identify Li Mo at that time, and they were reluctant to use it, so they could only use the method of immersion in water to identify the authenticity of things, and this type of identification happened to be painted with red paint. Just soaked in water, it won’t take long, of course it will melt away and become blurred!”

After listening to Mr. Liu's explanation, the two of them were stunned.

At this time, Liu Qinshu asked, "The red paint will melt away, but the gold painting shouldn't melt away, right?"

Mr. Liu explained: "It is true that the trace gold cannot be melted away, but since Li Mo is so precious and he is not willing to use it, it should be normal to play with it, right? If things go on like this, how many possibilities do you think the above trace gold will have? Today, a thousand years later?"

Everyone nodded in agreement, let alone a thousand years, if you often play with it, after 500 years, the inscribed gold on it will be well preserved.

"Actually, there is another thing derived from this."

Mr. Liu said again: "You must all know that after playing with things for a long time, a layer of patina will be formed on the surface, and patina has a very good protective effect on cultural relics. They are all very cherished, it looks so new now, and it is so well preserved, which makes sense.”

"Clap clap clap!"

As soon as Mr. Liu's words fell, Chu Chen couldn't help but took the lead in giving warm applause.At this time, he also sighed in his heart, although he can [-]% identify the value of the age of things by virtue of his supernatural ability, this point, it can be said, is more powerful than Liu Lao.

But in other aspects, he couldn't help sighing that ginger is still old and hot.In other words, he had already noticed the vague inscriptions on the ancient ink, but he didn't think much about it at all, so how could he deduce the clues to identify the ancient ink?

In addition, starting from the wear and tear of the painted gold, and inferring that the original owner has been playing with it, until the patina keeps the ancient ink intact as new. How could Chu Chen not admire such experience and vision?
Ever since he got the supernatural ability, although Chu Chen has always been modest and cautious, he is still young after all, and his heart is somewhat swayed. If this continues, sooner or later he will become proud and complacent.Although, by virtue of the supernatural power, he will be invincible, but he can't just say the result of the supernatural power without explaining the reason, right?

Today's lesson from Mr. Liu woke up Chu Chen again. Although he is powerful, all of his abilities were brought to him. If the ability suddenly disappeared as it appeared, then he Can you still realize your personal value like now?

"There are still many things to learn!" Thinking of this, Chu Chen secretly sighed.

At this moment, Liu Qinshu couldn't bear it any longer, and asked, "Dad, do you mean that this piece of ancient ink is undoubtedly genuine?"

Mr. Liu replied: "Although I think this piece of ancient ink is the famous Li Mo, but this is my family's opinion after all. It's better to say less about your word 'undoubtedly'."

Although Mr. Liu's words left some room, based on his vision and experience, everyone knew that this piece of Li Mo was indeed a genuine piece.This made both aunt and nephew very excited, and Chu Chen, who knew the result long ago, was also very happy.

Seeing this situation, Mr. Liu said with a smile: "Don't be too happy too early. Although I think the thing is genuine, as I said just now, it is just my family's opinion. It is best to buy such a precious thing. Let other experts appraise it again."

Liu Sizhe shook his head when he heard the words: "Grandpa, there should not be many experts in our capital who have seen the real Li Mo? Even if we show it to them, they are just comparing it with the introduction of Li Mo by the ancients based on experience. Instead of this , I think it’s better to put the ancient ink in the water, it’s more realistic.”

Chu Chen also said with a smile: "Master, I also think what Ah Zhe said is right, just put it in the water and soak it for a while, and it will save some time."

Mr. Liu disagreed with this: "Achen, there are hidden dangers in what you do. Based on the performance of this piece of ancient ink, to say the least, it should have been made for hundreds of years. If it is not Li Mo, put it in the water Wouldn't it be a pity if it melted away?"

Hearing this, Liu Sizhe felt that it was quite reasonable, and said, "Brother Chen, I think what Grandpa said is right. Let other experts take a look at this piece of ancient ink. Although it is a little troublesome, it is also much safer. At that time, it will be impossible to tell the truth as a lie!"

Chu Chen said: "Okay then, when we have a gathering of the Beijing Antique Association next month, I will ask everyone to help identify this ink ingot."

"That's okay. I still have an invitation card for the exchange meeting. I'm too old to go. You can go for me, Achen."

Speaking of this, Mr. Liu said to Liu Qinshu: "Xiao Shu, go and get the invitation card, and bring the gift that Lao Guan brought to Ah Chen by the way."

"Guan Lao gave me a gift, what's going on?" Chu Chen felt a little strange when he heard this.

Mr. Liu explained: "Isn't it because of that Du Yuncheng? He felt very sorry for you. You were not at home a while ago, so he brought a pair of hat tubes over, saying he was apologizing to you."

When Chu Chen heard that this was the case, he said, "Old Guan is too polite. Besides, this matter is not his responsibility. There is no need for him to do this. After a few days, I must return the things to him." .”

Mr. Liu chuckled and said, "It's really good that you think so, but Lao Guan can't hold back things in his heart, and he has a stubborn temper. If you don't accept him, he will definitely not let it go, and the things are too expensive. Just accept it..."

Speaking of this, Liu Qinshu came over with something, and the pair of hats that Mr. Liu mentioned turned out to be four-sided light crimson hats for the characters.

The hat cylinder appeared in the Jiaqing and Daoguang periods of the Qing Dynasty. It was an utensil for officials to put official hats on. There are many kinds, exquisite pictures, strong colors, round, square, and hexagonal shapes. , fruits, flowers, birds, fish and insects, etc.

The specific characteristics of the hat cylinder are that the picture of Tongzhi ware is rich and bright, and there are flowers and plants deformed lotus petals and other patterns on the mouth and bottom; the decoration of Guangxu ware is thinner and less powdery;

The pair of hat tubes in front of me are composed of the four major subjects of Chinese painting: landscapes, figures, flowers and birds, and caterpillar fungus. The brushwork is sophisticated and the colors are elegant.On one side there is an inscription of "Pinqing".

Pinqing refers to Jin Pinqing, named Gao, styled Pinqing, nicknamed Hanfeng Shanren and Yishan Qiaozi.Its landscapes, flowers and birds are all good, and its landscapes follow Shen Zhou of the Wumen School of Painting, which belongs to the Nanzong Landscape [-]st Road. The flowers and birds learn from Jiang Tingxi and Hua Qiuyue, and its calligraphy imitates Dong Qichang.Tong Chengmen and Wang Shaowei are the leaders of the light crimson colored porcelain of the literati school.He once worked in the Imperial Kiln Factory of the Qing Dynasty, and together with Wang Shaowei, he was called "two pens of the Imperial Kiln Factory".Together with Cheng Men and Wang Shaowei, they are called "Three Masters of Light Crimson Porcelain Painting".
