Chapter 938

Chu Chen took the plate into his hand and observed it carefully. The shape and glaze of the plate, as well as the treatment of the "rust spots", were indeed characteristic of the Yongzheng period.

But just as I said just now, there were no conditions and examples to imitate the blue and white of Yuan Dynasty in Ming and Qing Dynasties. Can the above points and the Yuan Dynasty style at the bottom prove that this is the blue and white of Yuan Dynasty imitated by Yongzheng? This is obviously impossible.

So Chu Chen took out a magnifying glass and began to observe the bubbles in the glaze of the dish.

Chu Chen thinks it is very important to see the bubbles on the surface of porcelain with a magnifying glass. If you master them well, you will get fewer imitations.

Some experts deny bubble analysis. Chu Chen thinks that he has not made great efforts to study it. Seeing bubbles is like seeing the book of heaven. He is at a loss in the clouds. The most convenient way is to deny it. But there are many people who will study diligently and find a way to see through the book of heaven.

To see the new and old bubbles, we must compare them by age and variety, such as blue and white in Yuan Dynasty, blue and white in Su Mali, blue and white in Yuan Dynasty, and blue and white in China. We can't compare the bubbles of porcelain of various categories and ages. If we compare them together, there will be no comparability and we will see flowers in the mist.

If you want to be successful in analyzing bubbles, it's easy to find. As long as you have a magnifying glass or a microscope, and as long as you have porcelain pieces for specimens, it doesn't cost much, but it takes a lot of effort. At the same time, it's very boring. If you don't have perseverance, you can't really find a reason.

In addition, the use of bubbles to identify authenticity is not necessarily a test of bailing, and with the improvement of science and technology, as well as the recovery of technology, it is possible to imitate the same bubbles as the real products.

However, Chu Chen immediately saw the authenticity of the dish in front of him, because the method of making the bubble was similar to that of the bottle he had seen in Ningyi. Therefore, it is needless to say that the maker must be Gu Gongyi.

You see chuchen put the plate back, just want to ask the authenticity of the plate, but see chuchen go to one side, take out the mobile phone to call.

The reason why Chu Chen called Gu Gongyi was that he wanted to ask if there was a mark on the plate. Another main reason was that he wanted to ask what was the matter with the plate. Gu Gongyi clearly said that the GAOFAN he made, which didn't leave his own money, except Ning Yi's bottle, had all been put away by himself What's going on?

Gu Gongyi was quite surprised when he heard the news. He said that he did make such a plate in December last year, but he put it away. How could it spread to the outside world? So he told chuchen the secret he left behind, hung up the phone and hurried home to check.

Chu Chen put away his mobile phone, then went back to his original position. Xiang Facai asked: "Mr. Chu, I seem to have heard you mention this plate on the phone, don't you?"

"Just a moment."

Chu Chen was not in a hurry to answer. He picked up the plate and looked at it. Then he said, "now I can be sure that this plate is really made by my friend."

After listening to Chu Chen's reply, Lao Chang said with disbelief: "boss Chu, have you made a mistake?"

"Please look here..." Chu Chen directly pointed out that Gu Gongyi deliberately left behind the secret, it is a "Gu" word.

Seeing this secret note, Lao Chang directly showed an expression as if he had seen a ghost. Duan Xuefeng and Xiang Facai were also amazed.

Duan Xuefeng tut said: "brother Chu, your friend is really excellent. You have done so well in secret."

Chu Chen just smiles and doesn't say much. Gu Gongyi will imitate Tang Sancai from time to time in the future. For safety, he doesn't want to let Gu Gongyi come into everyone's view.

At this time, Xiang Facai asked with a smile, "Lao Chang, what are you going to do about this?"

In the face of such a result, Lao Chang could only smile bitterly, and he could only blame himself for it. He clearly heard that there was no imitation of Yuan blue and white from Ming and Qing Dynasties to the Republic of China. However, he bought the plate because of his greed for cheap goods and his mind of fluke. Finally, he met Chu Chen, the insider.

"What a bad time!"

Lao Chang sighed in secret, and then he was distressed, because in his hand, except for a heavyweight thing, everything else was just a few trinkets, which was not worth a few money at all. If Xiang Facai was compensated with these things, Xiang Facai would not be satisfied, and it would probably cause his anger.

However, he already has a subordinate for that heavyweight thing, and the other party will come in a few days. If Xiang Facai is given the money, what about the subordinate who has already made a reservation?

The old man was always thinking about it and could not make up his mind for a moment. However, when he saw Xiang Facai, who was smiling on the surface but was actually covetous, he gritted his teeth and was ready to pass the pass first. As for the old man, it was a big deal to sell him something else and give him a little discount.

"Mr. Xiang, I'm really sorry. I've also made eye contact with this thing. Well, I still have a picture of pine and crane in Xugu. It's just the price..."Xugu was a famous flower and bird painter in the late Qing Dynasty. Together with Ren Bonian, Pu Hua and Wu Changshuo, Xugu was known as the "four outstanding artists of Shanghai school in the late Qing Dynasty". When Xiang Facai was surprised to hear that he often had his works, he immediately asked, "is Xugu's pine and crane painting?"? Is it true or not? "

Lao Chang vowed: "it must be true. After I bought it, I asked XXX and XXX to identify it. If you don't believe me, you can call them to ask."

The two people that Lao often said are also famous experts in calligraphy and painting appraisal in Beijing. Therefore, we believe in what Lao often said.

Xiang Facai said: "I said Lao Chang, since you have such a good thing, why don't you know to bring it earlier so that we can enjoy it?"

Lao Chang said with a bitter smile, "it's not that I don't take this painting, but that I've already found my family. He will come soon."

Xiang Facai waved his hand and said, "well, don't talk too much. You'd better go and get the painting and let's enjoy it first."

"OK, ok..." Old Chang nodded, but stood still.

Seeing this situation, we really can't understand what's going on with Lao Chang. When Xiang Facai was quick witted, he immediately figured out the relationship between them. He laughed and scolded, "you guys can rest assured. I won't take much advantage of you."

"Good..." With a promise to make a fortune, Lao Chang hurried out to get things.

When Lao Chang walked out of the gate, Xiang Facai sneered, "this guy has a lot of heart. If he doesn't want to be bothered, I have to break his old bones."

Duan Xuefeng nodded: "indeed, Lao Chang can only believe 10% of his words. When the painting comes, you should be careful and don't follow his way."

When Xiang Facai heard this, he immediately remembered that Chu Chen mainly focused on porcelain and jade. Besides, calligraphy and painting are the most difficult to identify among the many categories of antiques. Can Chu Chen do it? Thinking of this, he couldn't help worrying.

When Chu Chen saw Xiang Facai's look, he soon figured out what he thought and said, "Mr. Xiang, my master has also introduced to me in detail the characteristics of Xugu's calligraphy and painting, and he has several Xugu's works. I still have some experience in identification."

Xiang Facai felt relieved and said with a smile, "Mr. Chu, you don't have to say much. No matter what, I won't believe you!"

Chuchen smell speech slightly modest a few words, heart way, just like you just now, believe your words just strange!

After chatting a few words, Lao Chang came in with a painting and calligraphy box.

After clearing the table, Chang took the painting out of the box and spread it out. We quickly looked at the painting.

Xugu learned from the ancients, but not from the ancients. He insisted on originality and won a high reputation with his courage and wisdom. He became one of the outstanding painters of "Shanghai school" in the late Qing Dynasty.

This picture of Mei he fully reflects the characteristics of Xu Gu's pen. Mei Shu began to write in light ink with a wet pen, and then with a dry pen to add a tick. The lines were intermittent and frustrated. The strokes were full of vitality, vigorous and loose embroidery, forming a delicate charm. The plum blossom is sketched with a round pen. Its petals look like pearls and jade. It is naive and simple.

Crane uses pen to write head and tail feathers in thick ink. The color of the painting is light, but the color of heding is bright red, which makes the whole painting colorful, simple and thought-provoking.

, however, as like as two peas in the picture, Chu Chen could not help but be shocked when he saw this picture. The picture was even more than 90% of the content of the picture of the pine crane, which was collected by Liu Lao. The layout was even the same, and even the content and location of the bell print were the same.

You said that the topic recognition is the same as the bell seal, but the position is the same. That's too much. As like as two peas, it is quite impossible to create a picture, which is accidental and not duplicator. The two works will be exactly the same except in some places.

Therefore, it goes without saying that one of the two works is a fake. Of course, with his own master's insight, Chu Chen certainly tends to think that the painting in front of him is a fake.

So Chu Chen took out a magnifying glass and carefully observed the painting in front of him, and soon found the flaw. Finally, he came to the conclusion that this painting is not a mere fake, but a "two-layer exposure".

What is "exposing the second level"? In fact, it is a kind of artifact of ancient calligraphy and painting, which is mostly done by mounting masters. Because the heart of painting is divided into two layers, and the heart of painting is the soul of life paper, so it is also called "hunzi". The rest is "hunzi" who can confuse the true with the false.

Before the "operation", the forgers often read the Xuan paper used in calligraphy and painting first. Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Xuan paper has been commonly used in calligraphy and painting. With the rapid development of flower and bird painting, as well as calligraphers and painters like to use thick pen and ink, freehand brushwork techniques, so the Ming and Qing dynasties used thick paper, namely "rice paper". The so-called "Jiaxuan", that is, Chongxuan, is two layers of Xuan paper, such as "yubanxuan". This kind of paper has good toughness. It's easy to make thick, but hard to make thin.

In addition, when making rice paper, first make a very thin layer, and then add layers as needed. So there are two or three layers of ordinary rice paper, and there are as many as four or five layers of rice paper. Because Xuan paper can be easily rendered with ink, almost every layer can be soaked, so once the famous calligraphers and painters in Ming and Qing Dynasties were in the hands of merchants, some merchants often tried to uncover the second layer.In addition to paper, counterfeiters also need to see the ink thickness of the original painting and calligraphy. Because the method of "uncovering the second layer" is divided into two parts, it depends on whether the original works are thick in pen and strong in paper. Therefore, paintings and calligraphers who prefer to use thick ink in their life are often victims of "uncovering the second layer", such as the modern "Shanghai style" calligraphers and painters.

Jiao's side ink is very popular in his works.

In addition to the above two points, but also look at the full picture of the original.

Because there are a lot of fibers and other impurities in rice paper, some of the ink in the original works will certainly show that there will be gaps in the inking of the life paper due to the blockage of fibers and other impurities. This is often reflected in the more or less linear gaps in both the flowers and leaves and the postscripts, which makes the original works have a sense of vagueness, but it does not affect the performance of calligraphy and painting The artistic conception of the world.

In addition, the ink in the original has its own shade. Once the second floor is uncovered, this is what the painting is supposed to do in front of us. Maybe there are some places that are not as strong as the paper. Therefore, these places are not the same as the original.

After reading this painting, Chu Chen secretly praised it. Just now, he said that the counterfeiter must be familiar with the artistic conception of the original work. After "exposing the second layer", he should beautify the second layer.

The author of this painting can be said to be a master of this art. If Chu Chen hadn't seen the original painting for a long time, he would have thought that this painting was the true work of Xugu, because it was too similar in terms of brush and artistic conception.

It's a pity that "exposing the second layer" is a method of painting and calligraphy forgery. No matter how good the forger's painting is, we can't deny the fact that this work is a forgery.
