Chu Chen went on to explain: "as for why I said that the taste of the cup was added later, there are three main reasons. One is that the gold powder filled in the engraving is dark, which should be made of copper and other materials. This color was not found in the artifacts of Daoguang period. "
Second, the style of "Guang" and "Zhi" in the four character seal script is not the same as that of the same year's edition. The character "Zhi" is too biased and appears cramped. The word "Dao" and "Nian" are loosely spaced. The last point is that the knife marks are relatively new. Compared with the car marks on the bottom of the cup, the new and old ones are more obvious. "
Speaking of this, some friends may ask, since it is the real product of Guangxu year, what's the need to add a gift to it?
In fact, the reason is simple, just like the imitation of official kilns with folk kilns, it is just to add a little value. This situation is not uncommon in the current antique market, and many careless buyers are fooled by it, which also needs special attention.
"That's right..."
After listening, Mr. Liu and Yu renpeng nodded. Just at this time, Dean Sima and Mr. Fei came in together.
"Oh, what are you looking at, baby?" When Dean Sima saw the wine cup in chuchen's hand, he thought it was a good thing again, and his eyes immediately seemed to emit light.
Seeing this, Mr. Liu said with a smile, "ah Chen, let Sima appreciate the treasure in your hand."
Chuchen passed the cup with a smile, and Dean Sima couldn't wait to see it. However, as soon as something came into his eyes, his face was disappointed. What kind of treasure is this? It's just an ordinary Ivory cup in Guangxu year.
President Sima's mood was adjusted quickly, and immediately he showed the look that a professional should have. However, when he saw the appreciation at the bottom of the cup, he said with heartache: "it's really outrageous, outrageous!"
The reason why Dean Sima said this is also because the value of the cup may be increased by the addition of engraving. But in fact, after the addition of engraving, the value will decrease.
As the old saying goes, a good pot of porridge is destroyed by a mouse excrement. It's not so serious, but it means the same.
Yu renpeng also said in disgust: "it's true! If you want me to say that many antiques are destroyed by such fools. "
"Today's people are greedy for profits!" Old Liu shook his head and said, "let's not talk about this. Has the identification result of the Guqin of Sima and ah Chen come out? What happened? "
President Sima said to Chu Chen with a smile: "boss Chu, you must know the meaning of the four Guqin. It's not too much to call such a precious cultural relic a national treasure. Since it's a national treasure, it's necessary to show it in front of people to realize its due value. Look..."
Hearing this, Yu renpeng was confused and asked, "master, what are the four Guqin? Does younger martial brother have such a treasure? "
"You'll see if you go on." Old Liu said with a smile.
President Sima's mind is the heart of Sima Zhao. Everyone knows it. Chu Chen certainly can't agree to such a request, and he has a very legitimate reason.
"Dean Sima, to tell you the truth, I'm already preparing for the private museum. Now the site of the museum has been decided, and I'm preparing to decorate it. Moreover, I will set up a laboratory for the study of cultural relics and prepare to use the most advanced equipment in the world, so... "
When President Sima heard this, he was immediately dumbfounded. Since chuchen is going to set up a private museum, what's the use of what he said just now? Moreover, chuchen is going to purchase the most advanced equipment in the world. In addition to the fact that his technicians may be very talented for a while, chuchen has no advantage over chuchen.
Moreover, with Chu Chen's identity, it is extremely easy for Mr. Liu to help find some talents.
Thinking of this, what else can Dean Sima say? He said with a bitter smile, "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 bag and put it away. Then he asked Chu Chen to check whether the Guqin was in good condition, and then he said with a little excitement: "boss Chu, first of all, I want to congratulate you, and at the same time, I want to thank you for letting our national treasure return to our ancestors!"
"Dean Sima, do you mean it's really a Raoliang Qin?"
Although Chu Chen has basically confirmed the authenticity of Rao liangqin, he is still very excited to hear the affirmative reply from President Sima.
Some friends may be a little strange about this, but don't forget that this is Raoliang Qin, one of the four famous ancient Qin. The span of time from its production to the present is more than 2600 years. It's a miracle that the ancient Qin is still so well preserved after so many years.
For such a miracle, even if Chu Chen had already tested his powers, he still thought it was incredible. How could he not be excited and happy when he got a positive reply from Dean Sima?"What? Master, did I hear you right? Younger martial brother just said, "it's Rao Liang Qin?"
At this time and here, not only chuchen felt very excited, but Yu renpeng beside him was stunned. His first reaction was whether he had heard the wrong thing or not.
"Yes
At this time, Mr. Liu was also very excited. He simply replied and asked, "Sima, when you used the instrument to test, did you find out how this Qin was well preserved from more than 2600 years ago to now?"
"So far, we have basically summed up two points."
President Sima explained: "the reason why this Guqin is so well preserved is that, first of all, except for the years abroad, we think that its former owners and everyone took great care of it. This is a decisive factor for the good preservation of this Guqin to the present."
"there is another factor, but the wood used in this Guqin is very special, and it is somewhat like Wutong wood, but it is different from the result of the instrument. And even now, the density of this kind of wood is higher than many of today's wood. I can't imagine how high the density of this kind of wood was more than 2000 years ago! "
Liu old asked immediately: "is it a variant of Wutong wood?"
President Sima agreed: "we feel the same way, but there are no similar records about this kind of wood in the world. I doubt whether it is an isolated case. It is also because of this unique wood that this thousand year old Guqin has been completely preserved until now. "
Speaking of the end, Dean Sima's eyes are fiery and at the same time very lost. If only such a national treasure could be collected, how nice it would be!
