Chapter 1054

Now that the bottom of the seal has been worn off, will it still be carved by Wu Changshuo? Obviously, the possibility of this situation is very low.

Later, Chu Chen observed carefully and found that although the seal could be confused with the real, it was a little worse than the side text in terms of aura.

Although it's only the seal that has a problem, this alone has a great impact on the value of the seal, and it's not just this. It's like adding to the cake, and it can't compare with the value of the seal when it's just worn off.

As for whether Huang Shanyi has bought a loss or not, it depends on whether he knows about it. If he knows, he should not lose. However, judging from his attitude of keeping improving in shopping, Chu Chen thinks that he is more likely not to know.

When Chu Chen gave the seal to others for appreciation, Huang Shanyi asked with a smile, "teacher Chu, what do you think of this seal?"

Chu Chen said with some Euphemism: "the material of the seal and the inscription on the side are needless to say, but it's a pity that the seal has been polished before."

"Polished?" Huang Shanyi was very happy at the beginning. When he heard the back, he was a little stunned.

Other people also heard this sentence and rushed to see it. Because of the high level of the people who polished it, they looked for a long time and found that the printing surface had been polished. So the question is, does Wu Changshuo feel that the carving is not good, intentionally, or is it polished off by later generations?

After thinking about it, we think that the latter one is more likely. First of all, as far as the quality of Fang Tian Huang is concerned, Wu Changshuo can't carve casually. Moreover, judging from the date on the inscription, Wu Changshuo was already a master of seal cutting when he carved the seal, so it was impossible for him to make such a mistake.

As a result, it is needless to say that most of the seals are re carved by later generations.

At this time, Jiang Jiachang asked: "Chu Shao, is this seal re engraved?"

Chu Chen replied, "I think it should have been engraved later, because the impression is not right. We can feel this by comparing the inscription on the side."

In addition to Ying Mingxin, who is not well versed in calligraphy and painting, other people can see it more or less.

Knowing the result, Huang Shanyi seemed a little inconceivable, but he couldn't help believing it, which made him somewhat depressed and said: "I really didn't pay attention to it. If I didn't find it now, I would have to suffer a dumb loss. But I haven't seen this before. "

Chu Chen said: "in fact, the seal is made by a famous person, the seal is worn off, and the phenomenon of printing money still exists is relatively common. For this kind of seal, some people will engrave what they want. In addition, some good people will add the same seal as the original. This kind of printing money is real and the seal is fake, which is very easy to be confused in the market. "

Zhao Qirui nodded and said, "I heard about this many years ago. Someone got a pair of Qi Baishi's seals. Unfortunately, the seal was worn off, but the money was really preserved. So he imitated Qi Baishi's style and engraved the seal on the original stone, which was sold to the cultural relics store. The cultural relic shop failed to see through and competed to buy it as genuine. In the end, it was seen by an expert. "

After listening to what Chu Chen and Zhao Qirui said, Huang Shanyi shook his head and sighed: "this kind of thing can't be prevented. It's a mistake. However, I don't know who rubbed off the original seal. It's really outrageous

"This kind of thing is more common."

Jiang Jiachang said: "just like a friend of mine, he bought a seal of Tianhuang at a relatively low price ten years ago. The Phoenix is carved on the button head and the word" wenzuo "is written on the side. This seal is an informal one. The name of the seal is a name he has never heard of

"Moreover, although the word" wenzuo "in BianKuan is similar to that of Shangguan Zhou, a famous painter in the Qing Dynasty, it is known from others that the word used in Shangguan Zhou is" wenzuo ". Since wenzuo has never been used before, he thinks that it may be the seal of an ordinary literati, which is of little value. So, my friend grinds his seal into a square one, and grinds off the seal, leaving only the margin

"The year before last, I went to his house with a seal expert, so he took out the seal and wanted to identify the stone. The expert asked him why he wanted to grind off part of the button head, and said that the button head was carved as Phoenix, and the carving technology was superb, so it should be everyone's work. It's a pity to grind it off."

"So my friend told me why. The expert was very sorry to hear that. He said that Shangguan Zhou's descendants sorted out his historical records, introduced Shangguan Zhou '

"My friend was too sorry to hear that. Fortunately, he left the word" wenzuo "on the margin. It's a chat..."

Chu Chen has heard many of the examples mentioned by Jiang Jiachang, and many people regret it.

In fact, the collection of seals can start from three aspects, namely: material, sculpture, text (including seal and money). If one of these three aspects is good, it will have a certain collection value; if both or all of them are good, it will be better.In addition, when collecting the old seal, it is important not to easily wear off the seal and the margin. No matter what, the original flavor of the collection is always better. If the seal is worn away, the historical value of the seal will be lost except the integrity of the seal.

Jiang Jiachang went on to say: "except for the seal, the other aspects of this seal are relatively perfect. No matter what, Mr. Huang, you can also grind off the seal and re carve what you like. As long as the craftsman is high, the overall aspect should not be affected much. "

"Forget it."

Huang Shanyi shook his head and said with a smile: "in fact, I came to visit my friend a few days ago, and I think it's good to get this seal..."

Speaking of this, the housekeeper came in and whispered a few words to him.

Huang Shanyi gave a few orders to the housekeeper, and then said to everyone, "it's true that Cao Cao is coming. My friend has come now. Since I robbed him of this seal, he has been trying to take it back. If he knows there is something wrong with this seal, he doesn't know how depressed he is

It turns out that this is the case, and everyone laments Huang Shanyi's good luck. As for his friend's depression, that's for sure. If someone finds something wrong with his beloved, he will not be in a good mood.

During the chat, Huang Shanyi's friend came in in a hurry. He was about the same age and figure as the star with the surname of Zeng in Xiangjiang. After Huang Shanyi's introduction, Chu Chen learned that his name was he Lihang.

In fact, he Lihang, Jiang Jiachang and Ying Mingxin also know each other. In the final analysis, just like the capital city, the circle of antiques is not big. In addition, the area of Haojing is relatively small. Generally, people with names and surnames are familiar with it.

After a few words of greeting, he Lihang saw the seal on the table. His eyes seemed to be shining. Then he ran to the table in three or two steps, grabbed the seal, and then rubbed it gently with his face as if he were treating a beloved. Everyone didn't know what to say.

After a while, seeing that he Lihang didn't stop, Huang Shanyi said with tears and laughter, "I said Lao he, it's just a seal. You don't have to exaggerate, do you?"

He Lihang does not care about this: "this kind of feeling with you this kind of collector for the purpose of investment does not understand."

Speaking of this, he had some reaction: "well, you are a little strange today. I have been calling you for the past two days, but you just don't agree to return the seal to me. How can you trust me to get it today?"

Seeing that he Lihang has such deep feelings for the seal, Huang Shanyi doesn't know whether he should tell him if there is something wrong with the seal.

Seeing Huang Shanyi's hesitation, he Lihang felt very strange, but he didn't think much about it, let alone think that there was something wrong with his seal.

Then, he put the seal carefully, then took out a box he had brought, opened it and said, "here, I brought you several seals, most of which were carved by famous artists in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. If you think it's OK, it will be the ransom for this seal."

As they spoke, Chu Chen looked into the suitcase and saw that there were many seals in the suitcase. They were made of various materials, such as bronze seal, wood seal, stone seal, jade seal and so on. In addition, there were various shapes, such as animal seal, button seal, shape seal, square seal, round seal and so on.

Huang Shanyi looked very curious and picked up a beast shaped seal button. The seal is made of copper, with mottled surface and green copper embroidery spots in some parts. It has a strong ancient meaning.

Yinniu is a auspicious animal. It has a straight chest and head, eyes wide open, ears back, curly beard, mouth closed, and a solemn and solemn manner. Auspicious animal's trunk is straight and powerful, its tail is stretched back and curled up, and its whole body is decorated with strip-shaped geometric patterns by silver inlaying technique, with a simple and natural style.

Thinking that the seal was very good, Huang Shanyi asked, "what kind of seal is this?"

He Lihang said with a smile, "this is the yuan seal I managed to find for you."

What is "stamp"? Charge, also known as "charge", "Monogram", "charge", etc., refers to the signing or drawing of a certain mark on an official document or contract as a basis of trust.

Seal is a unique seal form, which is different from the jade seal, casting seal and seal clay in Qin and Han Dynasties, and also different from the literati school seal after Ming and Qing Dynasties. The main difference between seal and them lies in the different characters.

In the Qin and Han Dynasties and the Ming and Qing Dynasties, seal characters were mainly used for printing, while in the Yuan Dynasty, in addition to the literati seal cutting represented by Zhao Mengfu, regular script was mainly used for printing.

"Choose it for me?" Huang Shanyi was surprised to hear this.

He Lihang said: "of course, you can see the seal."
