After hearing this, Wen Haoyang also showed an angry look on his face and said, "you are too unreasonable. It's obvious that you don't pay attention to walking. How can you blame me? If you don't see what I'm taking, will I not see the way? "
Wen Haoyang was holding a 50 cm long paper box in his hand. From the way he carefully held the box, he should not even look at the road.
Chen Laiming said with a sneer, "it seems that the thing in my hand is very small. Besides, you hit me first, didn't you?"
Wen Haoyang said angrily, "I don't have perspective eyes. I will see you suddenly come out from the door. They are all adults in their 30s and 40s. Don't you know that you should be more careful at this time?"
At this time, Chen Haoming and Chen are caught off guard, but they don't know what happened.
Seeing that they were still fighting, Chu Chen stepped forward and said with a smile, "if you have something, let's go to my office to solve it."
After hearing this, Chen Laiming and Wen Haoyang were embarrassed and nodded their heads.
Chu Chen took two people to his office, during which he also made a presentation for both sides, but it was estimated that two people had some wrong eyes. Even if Chu Chen was in the middle conditioning, the two reaction was rather cold.
After a few words of greetings, they talked about their intention. In fact, we should all know that they came to ask Chu Chen to help identify things.
First of all, Wen Haoyang took the things out of the box and said, "curator Chu, please take a look at this blue and white four series can of Tang Dynasty for me."
After returning from Baozhou, Wen Haoyang kept in touch with Chu Chen on the Internet and often asked Chu Chen about antiques. Moreover, he was diligent and eager to learn from others. Chu Chen appreciated him more.
"Blue and white of Tang Dynasty!"
At this time, after listening to Wen Haoyang's words, Chen Laiming was stunned and suddenly burst out laughing: "you actually said you have Tang blue and white, it's so funny!"
Wen Haoyang sneered: "what happened to the blue and white of Tang Dynasty? Don't you know that blue and white porcelain first appeared in the Tang Dynasty? "
Chen Laiming said with exaggerated expression: "yes, there are blue and white wares in Tang Dynasty, but do you know how many complete blue and white wares were unearthed in Tang Dynasty? I remember you're just a working class, right? How much did you spend on it? "
Blue and white porcelain first appeared in the Tang Dynasty, but the production of blue and white porcelain in the Tang Dynasty was not mature, and with the decline of kiln mouth, it was once interrupted. But in any case, the blue and white of the Tang Dynasty also left a heavy mark in the history of ceramics.
The blue and white porcelain of Tang Dynasty was first discovered in the 1970s. In the archaeological excavation, the remains of blue and white porcelain of Tang Dynasty were unearthed one after another, which solved the dispute whether the "blue and white porcelain" first appeared in the Tang Dynasty or the Song Dynasty. Later, blue and white porcelain of the Tang Dynasty was found in many places throughout the country, but most of them were small pieces or fragments. There are only a few completers.
Because of this, Chu Chen also thinks that although Chen Laiming's words are not pleasant to hear, Wen Haoyang's economic strength will not be enough to buy a genuine product unless he picks up a leak or borrows money.
Wen Haoyang snorted coldly: "it's true or false. I'll know if I've seen it!"
With that, he put the blue and white of Tang Dynasty in front of Chu Chen.
When he saw the real object, Chu Chen was stunned, because the blue and white porcelain was really similar to the style of Tang blue and white porcelain.
This blue and white can has a straight mouth, a bulging belly and a circle of feet. The shoulder is decorated with four Jue series, the bow back looks back, the four claws are flat, and the tail is naturally drooping. There is a lotus paste between the Jue series. As a symbol of Buddhism, lotus appeared in many works of art in the Tang Dynasty, which is closely related to the importance of Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty.
The abdomen is still decorated with plastic decoration as Kaiguang, with figure pattern in Kaiguang and boy pattern in Kaiguang. Holding flowers and leaves, Kaiguang has a charming face. The sticking part of the can is smeared with cobalt blue material with flowing traces, which is consistent with the use and color of cobalt material in the three colors of Tang Dynasty in the same period. The color is clear and bright, simple and elegant, simple and straightforward.
Chu Chen has also studied several pieces of artifacts discovered in the mid-1970s at Jinling Museum. If this is a real one, it can be said that there is a major breakthrough in the research of Tang blue and white.
Seeing Chu Chen's solemn look, Chen Laiming was very surprised and murmured, "isn't it that the existence of blue and white in Tang Dynasty is controversial? What's more, the real objects are rarely found. Is it really a genuine one? "
Hearing this, Chu Chen raised his head and asked, "what's the dispute?"
Chen Laiming scratched his head and said with a smile, "this is what a friend told me. He said that there are five elements in the identification of blue and white porcelain. First, high temperature white porcelain body; second, high temperature pure transparent white glaze; third, cobalt oxide is used as the raw material of blue and white porcelain; fourth, the plain pattern is painted with brush; fifth, transparent glaze is applied on the pattern, and the underglaze is fired at high temperature."
"There are only two things that can be confirmed in the blue and white of Tang Dynasty, that is, using cobalt as blue and white and underglaze color. There is some controversy in other areas. For example, the body is not white enough and the soil is not pure; some objects are coated with makeup soil, not high-temperature transparent white glaze; many underglaze patterns are "blue color" at most, not paintings, and so on. Of course, these are all from my friends. I don't have any research in this field, and I don't know whether it's right or not. "Hearing this, Chu Chen said with a smile: "I've heard what you said, but I don't think your friend has made it clear. Now you give the definition of blue and white porcelain, which is aimed at the mature blue and white porcelain or directly from the blue and white porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty. Maturity must be a process of emergence, formation and gradual development. For example, an adult pig is called a pig. Isn't a newborn pig called a pig? "
"Er..." Chen Laiming was speechless after hearing Chu Chen's words, but Wen Haoyang's face showed a proud look.
Chuchen laughed and said, "let's get down to business. Mr. Wen, can you tell me the origin of this thing?"
Wen Haoyang nodded and said: "this blue and white porcelain was a few days ago when I went to my aunt's house in the countryside. My uncle heard that I usually buy antiques. He told me that there was a family in the village who had an old object and found it after taking me there. It was not expensive. At that time, I didn't know which dynasty it belonged to. I just thought it was very old-fashioned and bought it."
"After coming back, I checked the materials carefully and found that it was Tang blue and white, but I'm not sure. That's why I want you to have a look."
Although Wen Haoyang didn't say the price, if his words were true, the four series can should not be expensive, which made Chen Laiming next to him look envious. If it was genuine, Wen Haoyang would have picked up tens of millions of big leaks.
"If we want to prove whether it's true or not, we should first know the characteristics of Tang blue and white."
Chu Chen nodded and explained: "judging from the blue and white Tang porcelain pieces unearthed now, the blue material is rich in color with crystal spots. It is low manganese, low iron, copper and cobalt material, which should be imported from central and Western Asia. The quality of the tire is coarse and loose, it is beige gray, and the sintering degree is poor. The bottom glaze is white and yellowish, and the enamel is coarse. Make up soil between the body and glaze. "
"The blue and white wares of the Tang Dynasty are mainly small pieces, such as Fu, Wan, can and cap. Except for one can with fish and algae patterns, the rest are all with flowers and plants patterns. Among them, flower and grass patterns can be divided into two categories: one is typical traditional flowers, most of which are small flowers such as carnation and plum blossom; the other is typical Arabic patterns with scattered leaf patterns in geometric figures such as rhombus. "
"From this point of view, combined with the more unearthed sites of blue and white porcelain in Tang Dynasty, it can be proved that blue and white porcelain in Tang Dynasty is mainly for export."
Hearing this, Wen Haoyang seemed a little uneasy. He asked urgently, "if you say so, curator Chu, the blue and white of Tang Dynasty, which is decorated like me, is actually made of hysteria?"
Chu Chen shook his head: "it's not true. After all, we don't have many blue and white paintings of the Tang Dynasty. We can't be sure how many kinds of decoration techniques there are. Therefore, although it is different from the blue and white of the Tang Dynasty unearthed in the past, the key is whether its body, glaze and green material meet the requirements of the blue and white of the Tang Dynasty. "
Wen Haoyang quickly asked: "is that in line with or not?"
Chu Chen shook his head regretfully: "I'm sorry, although this thing is similar to the blue and white of the Tang Dynasty in other places, it's said that the hair color of the blue and white of the Tang Dynasty has crystal spots, but it doesn't, plus here So I think it should be just a fake. "
Hearing this result, Wen Haoyang feels very disappointed. Although Chen Laiming has no expression on his face, in his eyes, he sees a trace of schadenfreude, which makes Chu Chen feel disgusted at Chen Laiming.
Originally, because Chen Laiming was suspected to be a member of CAI Jianxuan's Gang, Chu Chen had a bad first impression of him. In addition, just now Mingming was just an accident, and the main responsibility was still on Chen Laiming. However, Chen Laiming has been reluctant to give up. As a result, Chu Chen's impression of him is even worse, and now he is even more disgusted.
Wen Haoyang said with a bitter smile: "fortunately, the price is not expensive. It's only a thousand yuan. It's time to buy a high-quality handicraft."
"A thousand dollars?" Chen Laiming was puzzled and said: "it's not right. Just by the appearance of this thing, the producer has spent a lot of effort, which means that its cost is not low. In this case, why did the seller sell it for only a thousand yuan? Didn't he calculate the cost?"
After listening to these words, Chu Chen and Wen Haoyang were stunned. This is really against common sense. Fakes are made to sell money, especially this kind of high-end fakes. They say it's just to earn Kung Fu money. No one will believe it if they are told it!
In contrast, there are two possibilities for Wen Haoyang to lie to others.
Thinking of this, Wen Haoyang opened his mouth, some didn't know what to say. After a while, he said with a bitter smile: "curator Chu, I swear that I bought this thing from my little aunt village."
Chen Laiming said sarcastically, "do you mean that the person who sells your things is a fool?"
"You..." Looking at Chen Laiming's sarcastic appearance, Wen Haoyang is also a little angry, but when he speaks, his mobile phone rings.
"What? Uncle, would you say that again? "
Wen Haoyang shows his intention to Chu Chen, then answers the phone next to him. After a while, he looks surprised, and walks back to his original position quickly.When the handsfree function of the mobile phone was turned on, Chu Chen heard a middle-aged man's voice coming from the mobile phone, and the other side said, "well, old man Shen told me that he wanted to buy back the jar he sold you."
"Why?" Wen Haoyang asked.
"He said that his son didn't let him sell it. He made a mistake. He also said that if you give it back to him, he can give an extra 1000 yuan. Well, do you agree? "
"Er..." Wen Haoyang looked at Chu Chen, indicating that he did not cheat Chu Chen.
"Hao Yang, you don't see old man Shen's face and nose beaten by his son. Your aunt and I both feel pain when we look at him. I think it's OK for him to pay more than 1000 yuan. Of course, if that jar is really a treasure, we don't have to give in. "
"Uncle, did he say why his son put the jar there?"
"Yes, his son didn't tell his daughter-in-law when he was shopping. He put the jar in old man Shen's place temporarily because his daughter-in-law blamed him. He left in a hurry and didn't explain clearly. Old man Shen thought it was ok, so he sold it to you."
Hearing this, we all understood what was going on. Wen Haoyang was also relieved. He immediately agreed to do it. After a few more words, he hung up.
Put away the mobile phone, Wen Haoyang laughed: "I say, nine times out of ten is wrong!"
Chuchen smiles and nods. He still appreciates Wen Haoyang. If today's events can't be explained, his impression of Wen Haoyang will definitely be reduced by a considerable score. Now that he knows the truth, his mood will be much better.
"Curator Chu, please help me to have a look at my things."
At this time, Chen Laiming put the things he brought in front of Chu Chen with a smile on his face.
To tell you the truth, if Chu Chen had not promised Chen Laiming that he would help him identify things, it would be strange that he would agree with Chen Laiming based on his impression. But since he had agreed, it would be inconvenient for him to refuse.
Chen Laiming brought two things. One of them was the three palm lock. It didn't look very impressive, but it was an authentic one in the late Qing Dynasty. Because of its poor appearance and simple production, it was just an ordinary copper lock. Although it had some collection value, it was not high.
Another thing is a pink pagoda.
As mentioned earlier, all the royal families of the Qing Dynasty believed in Buddhism, and Qianlong, the emperor of the Buddha's heart, had six ceremonies and five ceremonies in his life. It took decades to complete the carving and printing of the Han and Manchu sutras.
In addition to the traditional gold and copper materials, the porcelain treasures of Tibetan Buddhism made by imperial kilns in the capital of porcelain are quite unique and exquisite. They are amazing in number. They are extremely prosperous for a time and have never been seen in a generation.
The painted Pagoda in front of us is the best representative of the porcelain ware of Qianlong. Only Qianlong owned it. It can be divided into two types: one has Buddha in its four corners and the other has no Buddha in its four corners. The pagoda brought by Chen Laiming is the latter one.
For example, the upper part of the pagoda is a gourd Ruyi top painted with gold and pearls; the top of the canopy is decorated with pink flowers, and the surrounding of the canopy is painted with blue and auspicious clouds.
The main body of Xumi seat is decorated with yellow ground pink lotus pattern, and the shoulder, shin and seat steps are decorated with rolled grass pattern, inverted lotus petal pattern, covered lotus petal pattern, Hui pattern, round bead pattern and flower decoration belt And so on, it can be said that the painting is exquisite, the color material is exquisite, gorgeous and brilliant, showing the solemn and gorgeous royal temperament.
In terms of painters and other aspects, this pagoda has to be said to be a treasure. However, because of the speculation about Chen Laiming's identity, Chu Chen felt that something was wrong as soon as it came into view.
Chuchen has seen many of these pagodas before, and some of the lowest ones are more than 40 centimeters in height. Chuchen estimates that this pagoda is only about 30 centimeters. This is the first time he has seen it.
Second, the luster of the pagoda is not right, and there is something wrong with the handle. After careful observation of several details, the traces of CAI Jianxuan's craftsmanship should not be too obvious in Chu Chen's eyes. It is self-evident who made it.
"Is that the only way?"
Chuchen sneered in his heart. Originally, he thought that the trip to Baozhou was too strange. It shouldn't be so simple. The reason why he didn't start at the beginning is that he still wanted to hang a big fish for a long time. However, after such a short time, he was really disappointed to close the net.
"What do you think of these two things, curator Chu?" See Chu Chen put down the things on the hand, Chen Laiming quickly asked.
Chu Chen shook his head slightly: "I can't see this pagoda accurately."
"Ah! No way After listening to the results given by Chu Chen, Chen Laiming's face was stunned.
Seeing this, Chu Chen felt a little funny. He thought that Chen Laiming's failure to be an actor was a great loss to the country. Now, it seems that his acting skills can kill most of the actors.After a while, Chen Laiming cried and asked, "Mr. Chu, please comment on my pagoda."
Although Chu Chen had already determined that Chen Laiming was acting, he didn't want to tear his face with Chen Laiming for the time being, so he pointed out several flaws. In fact, he had planned to point out all the flaws, but after a while, he suddenly had an idea. What if Cai Jianxuan was going to use him to make up for the shortcomings of the craft?
As the old saying goes, it's the enemy who knows himself best. Cai Jianxuan's level of counterfeiting is almost the bottleneck. It takes a lot of energy to improve it. For people like Cai Jianxuan, it's not terrible to spend energy. What's terrible is that they don't know where they are wrong.
In this case, Chu Chen's comments are likely to play an important role, but it's hard to say. Maybe just because of Chu Chen's words, Cai Jianxuan broke through a difficult problem that he couldn't solve for a long time.
Maybe it was for this purpose that CAI Jianxuan arranged a very clumsy situation.
The more he thinks about it, the more he thinks about it. Although Cai Jianxuan is about to be arrested, he will never do this kind of behavior.
After listening to Chu Chen's explanation, Chen Laiming seems very disappointed. He doesn't even ask about the authenticity of the three palm lock, so he cleans up his things and says goodbye to Chu Chen.
After Chen Laiming left, Wen Haoyang shook his head and said, "this man is not very polite, but he is also very pitiful. He wants a lot of money for such a thing, isn't he?"
"If it's genuine, there should be hundreds of thousands." Chu Chen nodded, because it was related to CAI Jianxuan, he didn't say anything to Wen Haoyang.
Wen Haoyang didn't care much about Chen Laiming either. Next, he asked Chu Chen about some problems in the blue and white of Tang Dynasty. This attitude made Chu Chen think of himself when he had the chance to study, and his favor for Wen Haoyang also increased a lot.
Until noon, Chu Chen invited Wen Haoyang to have a light meal in the canteen of the museum. Don't think it's poor here. The chef Chu Chen invited is not simple. Wen Haoyang almost swallowed the delicious food.
After dinner, Wen Haoyang and Chu Chen leave happily, and Chu Chen drives to his antique shop to welcome song Jun.
Originally, Song Jun said that he would not arrive in the capital until the evening, but at lunch time, he called again and said that all difficulties had been ruled out. Now he is boarding at the Shanghai airport and will arrive in Beijing in the afternoon.
When they came to the antique shop, Zhu Dafu and Zhao Xueyi also arrived.
Zhu Dafu said with a smile: "Xiao song really is, not only half a day's time, do so rush why, things will not drop, his temperament is a bit too anxious."
Zhao Xueyi said with a smile: "to be a master in a certain field is often because of the perseverance in his heart. If master song is not like this, I would be surprised. In addition, don't say that you won't be like this when you meet something you like! "
Zhu Dafu said with a smile: "what you said is also reasonable. It's a pity that I didn't become a master. Otherwise, it's not enough to let Mr. Liu snatch Xiaochen as an apprentice. It's a pity for my whole life!"
Chuchen quickly said with a smile: "Uncle Fu, although you are not my master, you will always be my respected teacher, but you just have to pay homage to my teacher."
Zhu Dafu laughs: "I'm comfortable with Xiao Chen's words..."
Joking for a while, under the leadership of the clerk, the dusty Song Jun appeared in front of everyone.
"Song..."
As soon as everyone was ready to say hello, Song Jun said to Chu Chen in a hurry: "where's your Tianqing clay? Show it to me quickly..."
