Chapter 275

After that, the three chatted for a while. Chu Chen took out the harvest before Longxi and put it in the master's custody. Of course, the night light is always full, and the gifts for the family are definitely not among them.

After enjoying it, Liu Laoxin said with a smile, "ah Chen, it's a great blessing for you to study. Every time you go abroad, you'll get something good. If you go on like this, you'll be able to open a museum soon."

Chuchen said with a smile: "master, thank you. If I have more collections in the future, I will open a museum according to your idea."

Liu said happily: "good! OK, I'm waiting for your museum to open! "

"I'm sure I won't keep you waiting!"

Then Chu Chen pushed the white jade brush wash to Mr. Liu and said, "master, this is for you. I wish you good luck and longevity."

Liu Lao Leng Leng, asked: "ah Chen, how do you think of giving me a gift?"

Chuchen said with a smile, "don't you like writing brush? I see this brush wash is very interesting. You can add some interest when you write. I don't know if you like it or not?"

"I like things very much. Anyway, you are a rich man, but I don't respect you." Said, Liu old mood joyful picked up the pen to wash to play.

At this time, Liu Qinshu stretched out his hand and asked, "ah Chen, where's my gift?"

Chuchen said with a smile: "sister Shu, your gift is being checked in, so I have to trouble you to wait for a few days!"

Liu Qinshu said happily: "OK! Then I'll just have a few days... "

After lunch, Chu Chen read for several hours in Mr. Liu's place. After that, he was taught by Mr. Liu for a while and left.

After turning around in his villa, Chu Chen contacted Zhao Qirui and drove to his company.

Under the leadership of the Secretary, Chu Chen came to Zhao Qirui's office.

However, in addition to Zhao Qirui, there is also a middle-aged man with a big stomach. At this time, they are sitting in front of the sofa, arguing over a white porcelain statue of Guanyin on the tea table.

As soon as Zhao Qirui saw Chu Chen coming in, he waved to him and said, "ah Chen, come and have a look. Is this civil servant really like that?"

But the middle-aged man took a look at Chu Chen, frowned and said, "Lao Zhao, is this young man your expert? You're too playful, aren't you

Zhao Qirui said with some displeasure: "why, my nephew is young, but is young not an expert? I tell you, my nephew is Liu Lao's close disciple, the level is leverage

The middle-aged man heard that Chu Chen was Liu Lao's close disciple, and his face became much better. However, he reacted immediately and said in surprise: "wait a minute! Lao Zhao, you said this is your nephew? The one from your sister's house? "

Zhao Qirui said: "nonsense, in addition to my sister's family, where I have nephew ah!"

The middle-aged man looked at Chu Chen carefully and said, "like, really like, after so many years, I thought I couldn't find it!"

Zhao Qirui said with a smile: "this is called the road of heaven and no man. Ah Chen, let me introduce you. This is my friend who has been playing since childhood. Zuo Lei. Just call him uncle Zuo. He even held you when he was a child!"

Chu Chen respectfully and left Lei said hello: "left uncle good!"

Zuo Lei exchanged greetings with Chu Chen with a smile and said, "Xiao Chen, I heard your uncle say that you are very good at identifying antiques. Please take a look at this Guanyin statue of he Chaozong for me."

"Who is the emperor?"

It is said that the statue of Avalokitesvara in front of him was actually a work of he Chaozong. Chu Chen was stunned at first, and then a little excited.

For those who are familiar with Dehua white porcelain, the name of he Chaozong can be said to be thunderous. He was a master craftsman of Dehua white porcelain during the Jiajing and Wanli periods of the Ming Dynasty. Most of his works were Buddhist figures such as Dharma, Guanyin and Luohan. He was known as the first person in religious sculpture art. His works were hard to find at that time.

However, he Chaozong attached great importance to the artistry of his works. He was not a mature work and was never easy to make. Therefore, his works handed down from generation to generation were few.

It is said that there are only more than 100 genuine products in the world, but there is still no exact number of them. Even Mr. Liu has only one Dharma statue. Now there is a Guanyin statue of he Chaozong. How can chuchen not be excited?

"Yes, it's the Guanyin statue of he Chaozong." Zhao Qirui said: "but I don't think this Avalokitesvara is the work of he Chaozong. It doesn't feel so old-fashioned."

Zuo Lei sniffed and said: "you said that if you are not old-fashioned, then you are not old-fashioned? Besides, can you tell that it's evidence of forgery? "

Zhao Qirui sneered: "I can't tell, but my antiques are not for nothing! Let's not argue. Let ah Chen know if it's true or not! "

"Yes! If it's true then, I'll see what you say! "

While they were arguing, Chu Chen carefully picked up the statue of Avalokitesvara on the tea table and observed it carefully.This time Chu Chen didn't use his powers. Even Bao Jue asked him to turn them off. This is because he felt that he always had Bao Jue on. Although it was helpful for picking up leaks and identifying, it also gave him less opportunities to exercise his eyesight.

He discovered that baojue could be turned off after the ability was upgraded, so he decided that baojue would be turned off all the time unless he planned to pick up the leak.

He Chaozong's works put great emphasis on the depiction of the characters. He often put the characters in a specific environment to express the theme, and the characters are vividly depicted by him. At the same time, he also absorbed the advantages of the sculpture of the past dynasties, especially inherited the painting style of the Buddhist art of the Tang Dynasty, which made the Guanyin, Dharma and other statues have the charm of the Tang Dynasty. The image is dignified, solemn, approachable and full of human feelings.

This statue of Guanyin in front of us has the creative style of he Chaozong. Guanyin has a kind and dignified face. Its pleats are simple and flowing, clear and natural. At first glance, it looks complex and beautiful. It makes full use of Dehua kiln's pleats realism.

The color of the glaze looks like ivory white, the texture of the fetus is delicate and white, and the glaze is thick, which is very similar to the characteristics of he Chaozong's porcelain clay and glaze.

In addition, there is a gourd shaped seal script "he Chaozong" behind the statue of Guanyin, which is not particularly clear, which is the same as the real one.

In the identification of Dehua porcelain, whether it is the work of a master or not can not be determined only by the seal. The seal of the Ming and Qing porcelain carving masters in Dehua has a certain system. Therefore, we should be familiar with the seal systems of different masters.

Moreover, the seal of a real master is often vague. If you encounter a special seal and a very clear work, you need to be careful.

After looking at several features, this statue of Guanyin is very similar to the work of he Chaozong, but then Chu Chen welcomed the light of the statue of Guanyin, and the authenticity of the statue was immediately revealed.

Chuchen sighed and put the statue back on the tea table.

Seeing this, Zuo Lei quickly asked: "Xiaochen, how about this statue of Guanyin?"

Chu Chen shook his head slightly and said, "I can't see it!"

"Ah Zuo Lei was shocked when he heard about the speech.

But Zhao Qirui said with a straight smile, "well, I'm talking about a fake."

"It's not enough to be a fake." Chu Chen shook his head and said.

"What do you say?"

Two people listen to Chu Chen so say, all coincidentally asked a sentence.

"Then I'll talk about my opinion."

Chu Chen said: "in fact, there is a little secret to identify Dehua porcelain. We know that Dehua porcelain can be divided into early and late periods. We take Kangxi as the boundary. If Dehua white porcelain before Kangxi was exposed to light in the daytime, its inside and outside of the fetus would be pink."

"If it was made after Kangxi, the inside and outside of the fetus should be bluish white under the light. It is worth noting that all ancient Dehua white porcelain, regardless of its thickness, should be transparent under the light or light. If it is not transparent, it is a fake. This is an important basis for judging the authenticity of Dehua porcelain. "

Speaking of this, Chu Chen carefully picked up the statue of Guanyin on the table and asked them to look at it in front of the light, saying:

"you see, this statue of Guanyin has a bluish white color in the fetus and is transparent."

After seeing it, Zuo Lei frowned and asked, "that is to say, it's a high imitation of Qing Dynasty."

Chu Chen nodded and said, "I think it should be like this. Apart from what I said just now, the characteristics of Dehua porcelain glaze are generally reddish white in the early Ming Dynasty, like a baby's face. In the middle of Ming Dynasty, the enamel was white and slightly yellowish, just like the teeth of African adult elephants

"As for the glaze from the late Ming Dynasty to the early Qing Dynasty, it is slightly white in white, especially when lard solidifies. After the reign of Kangxi, the glaze began to turn white, and some glazes appeared bluish white. If you look at the glaze collection of this statue of Avalokitesvara, although the author has dealt with it very well, you can still see that it is slightly bluish white. "

Hearing this, Zhao Qirui asked, "is this a modern imitation?"

Zuo Lei glared at the speech and said, "you are really a real loser. I'm not a real product any more. You still say it's a modern imitation. What kind of heart do you have?"

Seeing that they were bickering again, Chu Chen quickly said, "this should be the old imitation of Qing Dynasty. If it's the present imitation, it's usually a new process of grouting in one step. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the green body demoulding was generally divided into three parts: the head, the body and the base, and each part was cut into two pieces

"As it is made by closing the mold, the general height is more than 10 cm. Except for the head, hand and other parts which are inserted after closing the mold, the inner bottom should be hollow with obvious connection marks. If it is found that the inside is hollow and the bottom is sealed flat or the hole is opened after sealing flat, it must be an imitation of modern grouting technology. "
