Since President Sima was able to become the president of the largest museum in China, he certainly had a lot of experience. Therefore, after a while, he put away his shocked expression and turned a little excited.
"Mr. Fei, I don't remember any ancient books mentioning the material used for Raoliang Qin. Is it possible that its material is so special that it can be preserved for several thousand years without much change?"
"I think so, too!" Fei nodded: "let's analyze it like this. First of all, the later generations have highly appraised King Zhuang of Chu, but such a character is fascinated by an Guqin. How good is the sound quality of this Guqin?"
"How much do you think it is possible to make Guqin with such good sound quality, which is made of Tung wood and catalpa wood? In addition, the material used for Guqin is Tung wood and catalpa wood. Although it is popular, it is not that there are no other materials to replace. For example, it has long been recorded that the Guqin is made from pine. "
"To sum up, I think the raoliangqin uses a special kind of wood, and it is possible that this kind of wood will not rot for a long time..."
The Guqin in our country has always been mainly for self entertainment or less accompaniment musical instruments. Unlike the violin and other musical instruments in Western symphony, it requires a relatively unified sound tone. Therefore, whether it is made in the court or in the folk, it is often made from local materials. For example, the old materials or even the rotten materials from the thousand year old galleries or ancient houses are dried, and the sound transmission and resonance are excellent.
Therefore, in addition to the wood of Tongzi, the wood of many ancient famous Qin is also commonly used in pine, fir, poplar, willow, catalpa, Tilia, mulberry, cypress and other materials. Some of them have Tongzi on the surface and bottom, which is called "Chunyang Qin". It is said that "when it is cloudy and rainy at night, the sound is not silent.". But no matter what kind of material is selected, the requirement of wood is definitely long.
There are many kinds of Guqin materials, so there are great differences in sound quality, timbre and nature. For example, the pronunciation is clear, thick, loose, simple and so on. It is rich and colorful. Each Guqin has one sound and different timbre, which can satisfy everyone's hobbies. This is indeed a major feature of Guqin in China!
Meng Xi Bi Tan of Song Dynasty says: "although the words of Qin are clear and real, there are heavy and light tones in them, and there are five tones in the material". It can be seen that the material is closely related to the timbre of Guqin.
When you hear the music of the zither, you will never forget that the music of the zither is so melodious.
Chu Chen also knew something about making musical instruments from pine wood. For example, before he met an ancient house in the capital to be demolished, he left a lot of wood, which was generally made of pine wood. It is said that the sound is loose and pure.
"Fei Lao, that is to say, this Guqin is probably a Raoliang Qin?" Dean Sima said excitedly.
Fei said with a smile: "in the end is not raoliangqin, still need to use your hospital's equipment identification, and then repair it, listen to its timbre is OK, just equipment identification is certainly not OK!"
After all, the instrument can only roughly judge the age of things. It's impossible to say that if I use any instrument, I can judge that this Guqin must be a Raoliang one. In the final analysis, the instrument is an auxiliary tool in antique identification, which has its limitations. In antique identification, expert judgment is indispensable.
Then Fei laughed and joked: "Sima, I've known you for so many years. Why didn't I see you so rough before?"
President Sima said with a smile: "this is probably a Guqin around liangqin. Can I not be anxious? Besides, if I don't believe it, you won't be in a hurry! "
Fei said with a smile: "since everyone is in a hurry, sign the agreement. You can study it quickly..."
Next, the three signed an agreement in great detail, mainly on the integrity of Guqin. For example, when Dean Sima was doing research, he could not damage Guqin because of convenience, and so on.
Of course, since President Sima was asked to identify, Chu Chen had to give some benefits. The specific president Sima didn't ask for any funds. He just asked Chu Chen to allow Guqin to be exhibited in the museum for a period of time. To this, Chu Chen certainly won't have what opinion, very readily agreed to come down.
In fact, if President Sima's original intention is to buy this guqin, but it must be extremely difficult to buy antiques from Chu Chen. If this Guqin is really around Liang Qin, he must not even think about it.
After signing the agreement, Dean Sima picked up the Guqin and was impatient to take it back to the laboratory for identification.
Seeing this, Fei stopped nagging and sent them to the door with a smile.
After greeting Fei, Chu Chen said to Dean Sima, "Dean Sima, are you here by bus today?"
"Oh! When I came, I happened to be outside. My friend brought me here. " President Sima replied.
"Your friend's car seems to have left when it came just now?"
"Yes
"I'll take you back, or you can't take Guqin.""Yes
After all, it's a valuable Guqin. It's not too expensive to take a taxi or take a bus. When Chu Chen said that, Dean Sima didn't show any affectation, so he agreed directly.
Seeing that he agreed, Chu Chen took him to his car and asked: "Dean Sima, you said just now that Fei Yu was making a fake certificate with Fei Lao's identification certificate. How could the other party see it immediately?"
President Sima laughed and said, "in fact, it has something to do with you."
"It's about me?" Chu Chen was a little confused about these words.
"Yes President Sima could not help but said: "because your name is written on that certificate!"
Chu Chen couldn't think of such an answer. He was stunned and said, "how can I have my name Oh
Seeing Chu Chen's sudden appearance, Dean Sima said with a smile, "how about it? I want to understand it!"
Chu Chen nodded. He had been on Beijing TV's "collection of the world", and it is really possible for experts to write his name. But Feiyu Mingming said that his things were identified in March last year. At that time, he was still a nobody, let alone the collection of the world. Even in Panjiayuan, there were not many people who knew him. Feiyu didn't know how long his brain was, so he would write him down!
"It's strange!" Dean Sima shook his head and said with a wry smile: "the main reason why this kind of thing happened is that the fake witness is your admirer. He subconsciously wrote your name on it. As for Fei Yu, how can he know that you are only on the program in January..."
