Chu Chen explained the process of removing the copper rust carefully, and said: "however, if you are going to clean the ancient mirror of mercury, you must think twice before you clean it. The thinner copper rust should be cleaned with vinegar, and the bigger rust should be cleaned. Otherwise, it's not so easy to destroy mercury. "
Qi Baofu and Fang Jinbo nodded repeatedly to show their understanding.
Later, Qi Baofu said with a smile: "it's better to listen to what you say than to read for ten years. But I'm a big old man. I can't learn to rust."
"I don't think you can learn or do it."
At this time, Qi Baofu's wife came over with a pot of fruit. She warmly welcomed Chu Chen and Fang Jinbo to eat fruit. Then she pointed to Qi Baofu and said, "look at you. Since you made this antique, you can't make any money. How much money have you lost?"
Qi Baofu said with a smile: "this study of antiques, at the beginning of the total tuition fees, do not believe you ask teacher Chu, is not it?"
"Don't think I don't understand anything." After listening to this, Mrs. Qi snorted: "it's normal for you to pay tuition fees, but let me ask you, how much progress have you made and how much money have you made?"
"This..." Qi Baofu was unable to speak after hearing this.
"Well, no more words. I think you'd better do business honestly. Don't play any antiques!"
Mrs. Qi sneered. Although Qi Baofu can make money and spend a lot of money on antiques, the quality of life at home has not deteriorated. But she bought a bunch of fakes for hundreds of yuan. It hurts to think about it. Of course, she won't give Qi Baofu a good look.
"I'll show you what a leak is!" As soon as Qi Baofu heard this, he was not happy. After that, he stood up and went to the room. After a while, he sat back with a box in his hand.
He opened the box and said with a smile, "this is the two sides of chicken blood stone seal material I bought for 3000 yuan, isn't it good?"
Before Chu Chen could observe it carefully, Mrs. Qi frowned and said, "Lao Qi, when did you buy this?"
Qi Baofu stopped and then said with a smile, "I bought it yesterday."
When Mrs. Qi heard this, she immediately looked angry and said, "you have already bought three things this month. How can you still buy them?"
After all, Qi Baofu was not strong enough to speak and said, "ah! It's hard to see good things. Can't you miss them? Just buy one less next month. "
Mrs. Qi said: "you didn't say that. As a result, what you bought is fake. Next month, you'll go your own way. You said you're not a man with a single spit and a single nail!"
Qi Baofu laughed awkwardly and waved: "OK, OK! Next month, if I don't keep my word, you'll be in charge of the family's money, right? "
Mrs. Qi took a deep breath: "well, this is what you said. Both Mr. Chu and Xiao Fang can testify. If you go back on it, I'll ask them to judge for me."
Qi Baofu patted his chest and said, "OK, I'll promise you this. You'll have a hundred hearts."
Speaking of this, he said with a smile to Chu Chen: "Miss Chu, I don't know what do you think of my two blood stones?"
"Let me see first."
"OK..."
Next, Chu Chen carefully observed the two materials one by one, and finally shook his head at Qi Baofu, who was smiling.
See this situation, Qi Baofu immediately silly eyes, after half a sound, he was eager to say: "teacher Chu, I this two chicken blood stone chapter material regardless of the design and pattern should be right, how can there be a problem?"
Fang Jinbo also feels some temptation to this conclusion. Just now, he has read the two chapters. Judging from his eyesight, it should be quite natural. It's not like a fake. How can Chu Chen say it's a fake?
Mrs. Qi also looks at Chu Chen and wants to hear Chu Chen's explanation. Although it's common for her to buy fakes from Li Baofu, no matter how much money she has, she wants to let 3000 yuan go.
Chu Chen said: "you say that the texture is right, because it's a" genuine leather false bone. "
"Dermal pseudobone?" The three were somewhat surprised by this statement.
Chu Chen nodded and said, "yes! To put it bluntly, it is the counterfeiter who makes up his mind on the chicken blood stone. He cut the real chicken blood stone into thin pieces with modern precision cutting machine, and then used modern high-strength chemical adhesive to stick them to ordinary changfossil or other stones, but they must be square cylinders, and the six sides are perfectly bonded, so that they can play a false and real effect. "
"In addition, if you cut the ordinary stone with better permeability into thin slices, and then paint the stone with bright red pigment, the chicken blood stone will be more beautiful and the cost will be lower. These two materials are really "ah!"
Qi Baofu sat down and said with a wry smile: "now that technology is developed, there are many ways to make fake. In the past, even if they came up with such tricks, they were more than willing but less powerful."Chu Chen nodded and said, "that's true. Let's take the jade now. We should know that jadeite is valuable, and the jadeite with good water head and wonderful color is even more valuable. When profits are high, some people turn their attention to jade counterfeiting, and even use the latest technology. "
"Don't customers like the crystal clear jadeite? They use the ultrasonic technology to put the jadeite in the water, and the ultrasonic generator is also put in the water, using the vibration of the ultrasonic wave and the erosion of water molecules. Within a few days or several kilowatts of electricity, a large bucket of jadeite carvings will be polished, crystal clear, and even if it turns out to be a hard stone, it will shine like a gem. "
"Besides, don't customers like emerald green? They use the most advanced laser technology to type colors in. You can type any color you want and as many colors as you want."
Hearing this, everyone was very surprised. Fang Jinbo asked with an incredible face: "can laser still have such a function? Isn't chicken blood stone also allowed to be counterfeited like this? "
Chu Chen replied: "it's true. Now some people have used this method to make chicken blood stone. However, the chicken blood stone and jadeite made by this method will be less and less color in the jadeite after a period of time, and the chicken blood stone will turn black."
"Think about it, some people happily spend a high price to buy back a piece of green jade, or a piece of high-quality chicken blood stone, which was originally intended to maintain and increase the value, has now become a stone, and their anger can be imagined."
At last, Mrs. Qi said indignantly, "these people are so immoral. They will be punished sooner or later."
Qi Baofu turned his lips and said, "they care about what retribution is not. As long as they can make money, they can think of all kinds of heresies and heresies. And now the social atmosphere is like this. Many people are not ashamed but proud. It's impossible for us to manage it with our personal ability."
Everyone nodded yes.
Qi Baofu said with a smile: "forget it, let's not say it's a wet blanket, Mr. Chu. Next, please help me to have a look at my collections."
Mrs. Qi said, "what's good about your things? Except for a few things, which one is not fake?"
"If you say that, what if you miss the net?" Qi Baofu also knows that those are not good things, but the probability of this thing is uncertain, in case of any miracle?
Mrs. Qi said with a sneer, "if you still miss the net, just rely on your" babies "with a strange smell?"
Qi Baofu chuckled and stood up and said, "I'm talking to you about the piano to the cow."
Mrs. Qi sneered: "OK, I have nothing to say with you. Just remember what you said just now."
"Don't worry, I can't forget..."
Qi Baofu waved and took Chu Chen and Fang Jinbo into his collection room.
After entering the room, Qi Baofu complained: "my family is really nagging all day long, and she's bored to death."
Chu Chen and Fang Jinbo look at each other and smile. To say that Qi Baofu is a good man, he is too devoted to antiques. Moreover, he is not self-conscious. He knows that he has a low talent in this field, so he puts money into it all the time. He is too stunned.
However, it is not convenient for them to talk more about this kind of thing at the moment. They can only find an opportunity to persuade him slowly, hoping that Qi Baofu can spend less money.
At this time, Qi Baofu said: "Mr. Chu, I bought the things in this room these years. Although most of them have been broken into fakes, I can't bear to throw them away. Anyway, no matter what, they are also works of art."
Chu Chen looked around for a moment and found that with his eyesight, he could also see that these were all fake. Moreover, Qi Baofu said that they were works of art, and he already praised them, because there were many things that were hysterical products.
Although he didn't know Qi Baofu for a long time, Chu Chen felt that he was quite congenial with him, and Qi Baofu's character was also good, so he told the truth: "Lao Qi, the things you have here are really not good. To be honest, it's not very likely to happen in case of this."
Qi Baofu's eyes flashed a look of disappointment. However, he had expected this for a long time, so he said: "these are all put on the surface. They are really not good things. I still have a few pieces in my box. I'll go and get them."
With that, he ran to a camphor box in the corner and searched for it.
At this time, Chu Chen said to Jinbo, "although the things here are basically fakes, it's really an opportunity for you to learn. If you can understand these fakes, you can suffer less losses in the future."
After hearing this, Fang Jinbo nodded and said, "teacher Chu, I'll have a look now."
"Well..."
When Fang Jinbo was there to observe the forgeries, Qi Baofu took some things and went away.
Putting things on the table, Qi Baofu took out a scroll and unfolded it. He said, "Mr. Chu, among these things, I like Liu Yong's calligraphy best. Moreover, I have compared it with the original one in terms of shape and meaning. I think it should be a real one."It's said that it's Liu Yong's work. Fang Jinbo puts down his things and runs over.
Liu Yong, together with Ji Yun and he Yao, is known as the three main naves of the Qianlong Dynasty. It is said that Liu Yong is extremely intelligent and upright. He has the title of "Liu Luoguo" among the people. However, whether Liu Yong was really a Luoguo in history, and whether he once won the first prize, there is no conclusive historical evidence to test.
Liu Yong is a famous master of calligraphy in the Qing Dynasty. His calligraphy started with Dong and Zhao, and then spread all over the Jin, Tang and Song Dynasties, especially Su Dongpo, Yan Zhenqing and Xiaokai. The book points are short and thick at the plump part, and strong at the thin part. The end of the word is introverted and unsophisticated, but never congested. The composition is light and heavy, smooth and graceful.
The overall style is implicit and reserved, pure as Taiji, solemn and quiet in appearance, with the staunchness of a great scholar and an old minister, and frivolous without talent and arrogance. It seems that it contains all kinds of things and is unpredictable and profound, and it is respectful. Because he liked to use thick ink, he was called "Prime Minister of thick ink".
This work is excerpted from the poetry of fengyuetang. It is full of cursive brushwork, thick and thin. It is smooth and upright. It is vigorous and vigorous in absorbing the strokes of the Tang Dynasty. The pattern of wax paper is also very exquisite, especially its meticulous writing. It really looks like Liu Yong's style.
In addition, the seal and seal on the paper also look like genuine products. However, as soon as the work came into view, Chu Chen gently frowned, because the work seemed to lack some spirituality.
So Chu Chen took out a magnifying glass and looked at it word by word. Then he checked the paper and other aspects.
"Lao Qi, have you never appraised this painting before?" Chu Chen put away the magnifying glass and asked.
Qi Baofu said with a bitter smile: "you know my eyesight. I don't dare to be identified by others. If it's true, it's easy to say, if it's false..."
Chu Chen shook his head: "Lao Qi, you are completely hiding your ears and stealing the bell. If it's true, it's not true. Even if you don't identify it, what should it be?"
Qi Baofu said with a smile, "I know that. I'll let you have a look."
Chuchen laughed and said, "OK, I'll talk about paper first."
"It's over!"
Seeing that Chu Chen actually started talking about the paper, Qi Baofu felt a thump in his heart. It seemed that his calligraphy work might have been sentenced to death. He cried and said, "you say."
When Chu Chen saw Qi Baofu's expression, he knew that he should have guessed the result. In fact, the reason why he started with the paper was that he hoped Qi Baofu could increase his knowledge in this aspect and stop making eye contact easily. If you are a friend, you have to take care of it.
He said: "generally speaking, the old color of old paper and silk should be natural, peaceful and clean, and the positive and negative colors should be even and transparent with clear texture. The new old color looks hot, uneven color, paper and silk surface is not clean, texture is not clear, and fluff. The old color of genuine paper is generally brown, yellowish brown and light gray
"When you smell the real old paper and silk, you can feel the smell of sun dust and smoke. When you smell the new and old colored paper and silk, you can feel the pungent smell of pigment and glue gas... "
Chu Chen spoke for five or six minutes, and told them the way to identify whether the paper of calligraphy and painting was old or not. Finally, he said, "Lao Qi, do you think the paper of your calligraphy work is old or not?"
Qi Baofu studied and sold the paper according to the methods mentioned by Chu Chen just now. After checking the paper, he said dejectedly, "this paper should be made of old paper."
Chu Chen patted Qi Baofu on the shoulder and said, "the way is to take a cut and gain wisdom. I hope you won't lose on the same things in the future."
Qi Baofu slightly perked up, arched his hand to Chu Chen and said, "thank you, Mr. Chu."
Chu Chen waved his hand: "they are all friends. Don't be so polite."
"Miss Chu." At this time, Fang Jinbo, who was standing nearby, gave a call.
"What's the matter?"
"Well, I've seen Liu Yong's real work in an elder's room before. I feel that the calligraphy style and artistic conception of this calligraphy work are almost the same. What's the matter?"
"Yes When Fang Jinbo said that, Qi Baofu immediately reflected that the reason why he thought this work was an authentic one was also the result of the comparison with the authentic one in the museum. Now, due to the reason of paper, it is proved that it must be a fake, but what about the style and artistic conception?
Chuchen said with a smile: "among the methods of calligraphy forgery, there are many that can achieve this level. There are two methods that can achieve this effect. One is" uncovering two layers "..."
Then he explained to them what "uncovering the second layer" was, and then said, "however, because of the paper, Lao Qi's work is definitely not" uncovering the second layer ", so I think it should use the method of" slide drawing "
"Slide painting? Do you mean that this painting is painted? " Both Qi Baofu and Fang Jinbo think it's incredible.
