Chapter 160

Now seeing that Chu Chen is so happy to learn from her, she is excited. At the same time, she is determined to learn this aspect well and not let Chu Chen down

"Brother, I think you are so careful. This azure glaze round wash is not the famous Ru Guan kiln, is it?"

"Xiao Lan, you guessed it well. This round wash is from Ru Guan kiln."

"Really Although there has been some speculation, but hear Chu Chen's affirmative answer, Chu Yulan face also can't help but show a surprise, can't help but want to have a look.

"Brother, can I have a look?" Chu Yulan asked weakly.

"Ha ha, what's wrong with that." Although things are indeed more precious, but Chu Chen is not cautious, for Chu Yulan's request, immediately nodded down.

"Thank you, brother!"

Chu Yulan answered sweetly, and then asked Chu Chen for a pair of gloves. After putting them on, she began to pick up the circular washer and observe it carefully. After a while, her face gradually changed, her brow slightly wrinkled, with a bit of admiration, surprise and obsession, and finally her face with a trace of doubt

"Brother, I wrote in my book that the utensils of Ru kiln are made of fragrant ash, but how can I not see it?"

Chuchen said with a smile: "Xiaolan, you are observing carefully, but you have to know that this round wash is Ru kiln porcelain which is" full of glaze and full of fire ". It has no exposed part, and even if the pad burned Ru kiln porcelain has exposed part, we can see now that it should be" copper bone "

"Ah? What is "copper bone" Chu Yulan asked with some silly eyes.

Chu Chen explained to her: "there is a description of" copper bone "in Zhao Ruzhen's antique guide," the unglazed one is called copper bone, because its soil is mixed with metal, it is light red, quite like sheep liver. " "Therefore, there is often a place without glaze, whose color is like the fetal bone of sheep liver, which was popular at that time. It is quite beautiful for the existing phenomenon, so we attach great importance to it."

"Why did it become" copper bone " Chu Yulan asks curiously.

Chuchen said with a smile: "in fact, this is very simple. We know that the porcelain bodies of song Ru kiln are all gray white, different in depth, and are similar to the burnt incense ashes. Therefore, it is commonly known as" incense ashes ". This is true, but this definition is only very correct in the Northern Song Dynasty and in the short term after."

"After more than 900 years of history, the dust, soil and other substances in the surrounding environment are easy to react with the surface of the fetus. This kind of" fragrant gray fetus "has also changed from the surface phenomenon to the intrinsic essence. Its unglazed surface has become" copper bone ". This phenomenon is a trace left by years, and it is quite difficult to imitate."

"Xiaolan, you also know that a complete piece of Ru Guan porcelain is very rare now, so what we generally call" xianghuitai "is just the conclusion drawn from the observation of the new section of Ru Guan porcelain, so you must be careful when you encounter Ru Guan porcelain in the future."

"For example, the next time you meet a piece of Ru kiln porcelain, regardless of the boast of the seller, as long as you see that the wear and tear on the ware body is" Xianghui tire ", you should be careful when you buy it. This situation is probably fake."

After listening to Chu Chen's words, Chu Yulan couldn't help showing a sudden look.

"Brother, what you said is very good, but what you said is not written on the book I bought. Is the book I bought wrong? How should I choose such books? "

Chuchen said with a smile: "right? Let's not talk about him first. How did you buy books at the beginning?"

"I just choose those thick and comprehensive books. As long as the publishing house has no problem, I will buy them." Chu Yulan some embarrassed said.

"Xiaolan, if you just want to know something or be a beginner, it's not wrong to choose books like this. However, if you want to study deeply, such a large and comprehensive book is certainly not enough. Because the ceramics of each era have their own characteristics, even before, during and after a period will be different. "

Chu Chen explained: "it's like enamel in Qianlong period. Because Emperor Qianlong had a special preference for pastel, there were pastel and enamel works in the middle and late period. Therefore, if we want to study ancient ceramics, it is not enough to read only one book. We should read more books and make more comparisons, and summarize the common characteristics of the works of the same period according to the description of the works of the same period in each book. "

"Of course, not everything in every book is correct. Some of them are due to the limitations of the times, and some of them are due to the author's poor skill in this book, which leads to incorrect writing."

"For example, in the late Qing Dynasty, Chen Yuanxin's" the Jade Age "is undoubtedly a good book, which has a great influence on the ancient jade industry, and its insights are beyond the reach of scholars in previous dynasties. But because of the limitations of the science of his time, some of his knowledge is undoubtedly wrong from our modern point of view. "

"A book like this is very good, but it has some mistakes, so when we read it, we should use our brains more to avoid being affected by it."

Seeing that Chu Yulan nodded thoughtfully, Chu Chen continued: "of course, if you want to learn the knowledge of antiques well, it's not enough to read books. We have to look at the objects. As a new scholar, if you don't have a master to lead you, you'd better not go to the antique market at the beginning. The first place to go is the museum. ""In this way, you can use the museum's exhibits with the exact date of excavation or with orderly circulation as the standard tools in the identification, and then compare them one by one in the antique market. In this way, I believe your level will be improved soon. "

"Finally, if you see a fake, if you're not in a hurry, don't put it aside in a hurry. Instead, you should carefully observe the forgery techniques of the fake. It's also a better way to identify antiques."

Chuchen this words, let chuyulan listen to repeatedly nod.

"Brother, thank you for telling me so much."

"Oh, you're welcome. It's just my little experience. By the way, Xiaolan, did you come in just now? " Chu Chen asked.

Chu Yulan quickly replied: "Oh, brother, I want to ask you, what will be arranged later."

"There's nothing to do today. I want to worship my father later, and then we can go back to Beijing."

Hearing this, Chu Yulan said, "this Brother Can I go with you? "

"This..." Chu Yulan's request really embarrassed Chu Chen. He didn't really know much about it.

"I'd like to express my thanks to my parents if I want to see them," he said

Chu Chen thought about it. After all, going to the grave is just a kind of feeling in memory of his ancestors. Moreover, it can be regarded as the fulfillment of his father's long cherished wish for many years, so he nodded and agreed
