Jianbao life

Chapter 848 It's Really True!
Chu Chen continued to explain: "As for why I said that the inscription on the cup was added later, there are three main reasons. One is that the color of the gold powder filled in the inscription is dark, which should be the synthesis of copper and other components. Yes, this color was not found in the utensils of the Daoguang period."

"Secondly, in the four-character seal script, the styles of 'Guang' and 'Zhi' are different from those of this engraving in the same year. One point is that the knife marks on the engraved models are relatively new, compared with the car marks on the bottom of the cup, the old and new are completely visible.”

Speaking of this, some friends may ask, since it is already a genuine product of the Guangxu period, why is it necessary to add a little more recognition?

In fact, the reason is simple, just like the use of folk kiln utensils to imitate official kilns is nothing more than to add a little value.This kind of situation is not uncommon in the current antique market, and many sloppy buyers have been fooled because of this. This also requires special attention.

"Well said……"

After listening, Mr. Liu and Yu Renpeng nodded repeatedly. At this moment, Dean Sima walked in with Mr. Fei.

"Hey, what treasure are you looking at again?" Dean Sima saw the wine glass in Chu Chen's hand, and thought it was another good thing, his eyes immediately seemed to shine.

Seeing this, Mr. Liu smiled secretly: "Achen, let Sima admire the treasure in your hand."
Chu Chen smiled and handed over the cup, and Dean Sima couldn't wait to look at it, but as soon as the object came into his eyes, his face showed disappointment. What kind of treasure is this? It's just an ordinary ivory in Guangxu Nian Just a small cup.

Dean Sima adjusted his emotions quickly, and he immediately showed the expression that a professional should have. However, when he saw the inscription on the bottom of the cup, he couldn't help but said sadly: "What a waste of money, waste of money!"

The reason why Dean Sima said this is also because the engraving on this cup may increase the value of the cup for the seller, but in fact, after adding the engraving, the value has actually decreased.

As the old saying goes, a good pot of porridge is ruined by a piece of rat droppings. Although it is not that serious when used in this cup, the meaning is similar.

Yu Renpeng also said with a bit of disgust: "Isn't it! Let me tell you, there are many antiques nowadays, but they were actually destroyed by such fools."

"People nowadays are blinded by profit!" Old Liu shook his head, and said, "Let's not talk about this, Sima, has the appraisal result of Ah Chen's Guqin come out? What is the result?"

Dean Sima chuckled, but did not speak bluntly. He said to Chu Chen with a smile on his face: "Boss Chu, you must know the meaning of the four ancient zithers. It is not an exaggeration for such a precious cultural relic to be called a national treasure. Since it is As a national treasure, it has to be displayed in front of people to reflect its due value, you see..."

Hearing this, Yu Renpeng was a little puzzled, and asked, "Master, what are the four major guqins? Does the younger brother have such treasures?"

"You will know after reading it." Old Liu replied with a smile.

Dean Sima's mind was Sima Zhao's, and everyone knew it. Of course, it was impossible for Chu Chen to agree to such a request, and he had a very legitimate reason.

"Dean Sima, to tell you the truth, I'm already preparing for a private museum. Now the site has been decided, and I'm preparing for renovation. And I will set up a laboratory for the study of cultural relics, and prepare the equipment. Using the most advanced in the world, so to say..."

When Dean Sima heard this, he was immediately dumbfounded. Since Chu Chen was already planning to set up a private museum, what was the use of his rhetoric just now? Moreover, Chu Chen was also planning to purchase the most advanced equipment in the world. Compared with Chu Chen, he has no advantage at all, except that his technicians may be full of talents for a while.

Moreover, based on Chu Chen's status, it is extremely easy for Mr. Liu to help find some talents.

Thinking of this, what else can Dean Sima say?He could only smile wryly: "Forget it, I won't talk about it, let's talk about this guqin first..."

Speaking of this, Dean Sima carefully took the guqin out of the piano bag and put it away, and then asked Chu Chen to check whether the guqin was in good condition, and then said a little excitedly: "Boss Chu, first of all, I want to congratulate you, and at the same time Thank you for letting our national treasure return to the motherland!"

"Principal Sima, are you saying that this is indeed a real qin?!"

Although Chu Chen had basically confirmed the authenticity of the Liangqin, he was still very excited when he heard Dean Sima's affirmative answer.

Some friends may be a little strange about this, but don’t forget that this is the Liangliang Qin among the four famous ancient Qins. From its production to the present, the time span is as high as 600 years. It is a miracle that the guqin is still preserved so well.

As for such a miracle, even though Chu Chen had already been tested by the supernatural power, he still found it inconceivable. How could he not be excited and joyful now that he received Dean Sima's affirmative answer?

"What? Master, did I hear correctly, did my junior brother just say that it was a qin around beams?"

At this moment, not only Chu Chen felt extremely excited, but Yu Renpeng next to him was already stunned. His first reaction was to think that he had heard it wrong.

"Correct!"

At this time, Mr. Liu was also very excited. He just replied a simple word, and hurriedly asked: "Sima, when you tested with instruments, did you find out how this piano was preserved so well from more than 600 years ago?" so far?"

"So far, we have basically summed up two points."

Dean Sima explained: "The reason why this guqin is so well preserved, first of all, except for the years overseas, we think that its previous owner took great care of it. This is why this guqin is well preserved. A determining factor so far.”

"There is another factor, but the wood used for this guqin is very special. It is somewhat similar to sycamore wood, but judging from the results of the instrument, it is not the same. And even now, the density of this wood is higher than that of the phoenix. Many woods today are so high, I can't even imagine how dense this wood was more than 2000 years ago!"

Mr. Liu immediately asked, "Could it be a mutated sycamore tree?"

Dean Sima agreed: "We also think so, but there is no similar record of this kind of wood in the world, and I doubt whether it is an isolated case. It is precisely because of this unique wood that this The thousand-year-old Guqin has been preserved intact until now."

When it came to the end, Dean Sima's eyes were full of fire, but at the same time he was very disappointed. It would be great if such a national treasure could be confiscated!
