Chapter 60 National Treasure Is a Fake ""(1/2)
The white mist filling the eyes indicates that the "treasure light" in the exhibition hall is strong and there are many treasures in the exhibits.
At that moment, Jiahao became very energetic. Although the treasures that Boss Jin was going to auction were not directly related to him, at least he could appreciate them up close and feast his eyes on them.
As soon as Jiahao, Mr. Zheng and others stepped into the door of the exhibition hall, someone secretly noticed them. It was Mr. Qi and his group who were standing in the crowd. At this moment, Mr. Qi stared at Deng Deng with a sinister look.
Old man, his eyes full of resentment.
"Third Master, they are here!" A middle-aged man next to him whispered in Third Master Qi's ear, "I have already found out that the "Twelve Albums of Qiu Ying" that Boss Jin withdrew from the auction is "Jian Baozhai"
The new boy exchanged it for a sword. It is said to be a magic weapon, a Seven-Star Sword inlaid with eight dazzling gems. Third Master, the more you look at it, the more complicated it becomes!"
"The group named Deng had already planned it!" Qi Sanye said in a deep voice, "He knew that I also wanted the authentic work of Qiu Ying, so he intercepted it in the middle of the road. I didn't expect that they would be behind it.
It is despicable and shameless to join my army!"
He gritted his teeth and stared at Mr. Deng with an increasingly cold gaze.
"What should we do?" the middle-aged man asked with a frown.
"What else can we do?" Mr. Qi said angrily, "You still expect Deng to spit out that thing?! Even if I want it, even if I give him 10 million, he will never sit down with us.
Let’s talk! It’s so strange, what’s the background of that kid? He keeps making strange moves, and he’s been ruining our good deeds lately!”
A glimmer of light flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes and he said: "Third Master, is this difficult to handle? I have a way to find out all his details!"
"Well, let's find a way to find out." Mr. Qi nodded solemnly, "But be careful and don't alert them. It seems that the two old men named Deng and Deng value him very much.
Although these old guys are very old, they are still not easy to mess with. They have a great reputation. The eldest son-in-law named Deng has a military background, so he cannot come openly for the time being. He can only play coquettishly with them. If he openly communicates with them
If we go against them, then they can deal with us openly. If we want to be in the antique business, we can’t be too ostentatious!"
"Yes, I understand, Third Master." The middle-aged man nodded solemnly in agreement.
At the same time, Jiahao followed the flow of people watching the exhibition to the booth. At this time, there were already many people visiting the exhibition, and the surroundings were noisy and lively.
At this time, Jiahao did not pay attention to any collection, because he had to make some selections first. After all, due to the energy relationship of the detector in his head, he could only detect three pieces of radiation by replenishing the energy with household electricity for one night. "
The origin of the antique "Baoguang", and he really wanted to know about the national treasure that he and Lin Haitao had discussed before, which was the "Zhang Fei Plum Vase", so he couldn't waste the only three opportunities and had to wait until he finished reading it.
We will talk about the ins and outs of the Plum Vase later.
"Haitao, where is the 'Zhang Fei Plum Vase'? That thing should also be on display, right?" Jiahao suddenly asked.
Lin Haitao replied with a smile: "There must be! Let's look for it first!"
Then the two of them shuttled through the crowded crowd looking for the "Zhang Fei Plum Vase". Soon Lin Haitao exclaimed: "Here, Brother Yao, look, isn't that just a plum vase?!"
It’s exactly the same as the one on display!”
Following the direction pointed by Lin Haitao, Jiahao glanced at it and saw a large, colorful bottle of exquisite beauty placed in a glass display cabinet with a password lock. The bottle was at least more than 20 centimeters high.
There are various patterns painted on the glaze, giving people the first impression of solemnity and mystery.
"Brother Yao, have you seen it?" Lin Haitao said with beaming eyebrows, "That is the legendary 'Zhang Fei Plum Vase'! It is the finale of this auction. It can be said that you come to 'Tianyun Villa' to participate in the auction.
More than half of the people who attended the meeting came just for that thing! Mr. Deng also likes it very much. I think he will also bid at the auction tomorrow. It’s just hard to say whether he can buy it. I like it.
There are really too many big bosses for this treasure, and the competition is fierce!"
"It turns out that Mr. Deng came here for the 'Zhang Fei Mei Ping'. I hope he will be rewarded by then." Jiahao suddenly realized.
As they talked, the two approached the display cabinet and took a closer look at the exquisite plum vase.
There was a chaotic pale white light lingering on the plum vase. As soon as Jiahao focused his eyes on it, the aura automatically gathered in front of his eyes and started to show the "movie".
It didn't take long for Jiahao to see the story of the plum vase. From its creation to its final collection, almost every major turning point had not escaped Jiahao's eyes.
"Hey, how could it be like this? It's wrong!"
After reading them one by one, Jiahao's expression suddenly changed, and he couldn't help but mutter to himself.
"Brother Yao, what's wrong?" Lin Haitao, who was standing next to him, immediately noticed this detail and asked casually.
Jiahao immediately came to his senses, shook his head and said, "Oh, it's nothing!"
At the same time, I was thinking: "There is something terribly wrong! This is not 'Zhang Fei Mei Ping' at all! Everyone has been deceived!"
The national treasure he was looking forward to so much turned out to be a fake. In addition to being surprised, he was also disappointed. In an instant, the ancient vase in front of him seemed to be incompatible with the legendary "Zhang Fei Plum Vase" and completely incompatible with it.
But Lin Haitao and the others were unaware of it and regarded the heavily beautified plum vase as a national treasure. At this moment, the people watching around the display cabinet were amazed and admired.
Suddenly, Mr. Zheng and Mr. Deng gathered around and looked at the large vase that looked antique.
"The important weapon of the country is well-deserved!" Mr. Zheng was heard praising loudly.
Mr. Deng also said: "Yes. This plum vase is exactly the same as the one we saw in the capital before! There are different opinions about the 'Zhang Fei plum vase', but most of them still hold a positive attitude, and the current one is not to be missed.
, it is very likely to be the real 'Zhang Fei Plum Vase'. In any case, ancient porcelain from the Three Kingdoms period is very rare. In fact, it doesn't matter whether it was used by Zhang Fei or not."
"Mr. Deng, why is the 'Zhang Fei Mei Ping' so valuable?" Jiahao asked suddenly. When he asked this question, his eyes flashed and he was thoughtful.
Deng Laowei replied: "We have studied the 'Zhang Fei Plum Vase' before and know that its surface contains various ancient cultural symbols. The upper part of the plum vase retains the cloud pattern under the sky, the middle of the vase retains the four-season chrysanthemum pattern, and the outside of the vase retains
It is also like eight sunflowers with buds in them. Eight rotating suns remain in the lower part of the vase.
The exterior of Zhang Fei's plum vase resembles the eight-sided golden sun ring from the Jinsha site, while the eight lotus petal patterns that remain on the lower part of the vase also resemble eight pairs of hands holding up eight golden suns, implying that the Eight Suns have landed and the Eighth Uncle bows to their hands. China
In ancient times, there was a theory of the Nine-Sun Sculpture. Why are there only eight suns? Does it mean that General Zhang Fei has ascended to heaven? The more mysterious an antique is, the more interesting it is to collect. This is why antiques like the 'Zhang Fei Plum Vase' are so sought after.
The reason is that playing with antiques is actually playing with ancient art and culture, and antiques are the crystallization of ancient culture and art."
"Oh, is that so?" Jiahao seemed to understand something and nodded gently, "I understand."
According to what Mr. Deng said, once the halo of "Zhang Fei Plum Vase" is lost, the plum vase in front of you will become a general thing. What everyone admires is Zhang Fei, and it is the memory of General Zhang Fei. They want to restore the old days of Zhang Fei's golden war and iron horse.
The heroic feat of swallowing up mountains and rivers in bloody battles and protecting the country.
However, Jiahao knew the origin of the plum vase, and he was sure that it had nothing to do with Zhang Fei. It might be an imitation, but the craftsmanship was superb and it was undoubtedly a high imitation.
Despite this, Jiahao did not mention anything unusual about the "Zhang Fei Plum Vase". Now even if he points out in public that it is a fake, not many people will believe him. How can it be said that something that many experts have unanimously identified is a fake?
Just crack down on fakes.
But if Mr. Deng has to spend a sky-high price to take the photo tomorrow, Jiahao will find a way to give him a hint. If Mr. Deng gives up chasing the photo, then he doesn’t need to make any comments. He doesn’t want to show his face, let alone offend powerful people.
The mysterious boss - Mr. Jin!
Next, Jiahao and Lin Haitao went to inspect other exhibits. Jiahao selected the two antiques with the strongest "Baoguang" quality for inspection first.
The first piece is also a piece of porcelain. According to the video records, it is a piece of porcelain from the Ming Dynasty. It is in the shape of a gourd and the glaze is undoubtedly blue and white.
But the other thing didn’t matter, Jiahao was shocked when he saw it, and he said in surprise: “This is the real good thing!”
"Brother Yao, are you interested in bronzeware?"
Seeing Jiahao staring at a piece of bronze in the glass display case for a long time, Lin Haitao couldn't help but ask.
Jiahao came back to his senses and said in a very calm tone: "I am not particularly interested in it anymore. I just think that the shape of the bronze vessel is rather strange and seems different from the ordinary bronze tripod."
Lin Haitao replied with a smile: "Didn't you see it written on the sign? 'Han Dynasty Chiseled Gold Yi' is a bronze Yi."
Regarding the word "Yi", Jiahao only knew "Yi people", but did not know that there were so-called "Yi" bronzes in ancient times.
After reading the ins and outs of that bronze vessel just now, Jiahao felt very surprised, because that thing was not from the Han Dynasty. From the video records, it can be seen that it was a bronze vessel from the Chunqiu and Warring States periods, and it had experienced more history than the Han Dynasty.
To be long lasting.
In other words, Boss Jin and the others made a mistake in their appraisal, mistaking a bronze from the Warring States Period for that of the Han Dynasty. Although the two eras are not very different, there is something different.
In Jahao's view, incorrect dating is the most basic misjudgment of an antique. If the judgment is wrong at this juncture, then the direction will be lost, and it is easy to misestimate its true value, which may be underestimated or overestimated.
And pushing things back in time often underestimates the original value of antiques.
In other words, Boss Jin and the others made a mistake. They said it was a bronze from the Warring States period but it was from the Han Dynasty. Isn't this an obvious underestimate? The bronzes from the Autumn and Warring States periods and the previous periods are much better. The famous bronzes from the Shang and Zhou dynasties
Isn't the "Simuwu Ding" a typical bronze vessel? It represents the most glorious era of the bronze smelting and casting industry.
Therefore, it is conceivable that for two bronzes with similar shapes, the one from the Warring States Period should be more valuable than the one from the Han Dynasty.
"Bronze Yi?" After pondering for a moment, Jiahao asked doubtfully, "I have never heard of it before. What was this kind of thing used for at that time? It was also used for sacrifices, right?"
Lin Haitao replied: "Yi is an ancient vessel for holding wine, and 'Yi Ding' is also commonly used to refer to the sacrificial vessels commonly used in ancient ancestral temples. This Yi Ding should not be an unearthed cultural relic, but an antique that has been passed down from generation to generation.
.It's a good thing, with a neat shape, and it also reflects the superb gilding craftsmanship of ancient times. It is a relatively rare bronze ware.
"The 'gilding' mentioned on the introduction board is to gild the sculptures. Gilding is a metal processing technology, also known as 'gilding'. It is a gold amalgam synthesized from gold and mercury, which is coated on copper.
The surface layer of the vessel is heated to evaporate the mercury, so that the gold is firmly attached to the surface of the bronze vessel and does not fall off. It is said that this technology had already appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but gilt bronze vessels of that period were very rare, and gilding was called "gilt bronze" in the Han Dynasty.
It is 'gold painted' or 'yellow painted', which is more common at this time. The Yi bronze tripod we see now is a typical Han Dynasty bronze tripod."
"Oh." Jiahao nodded slightly and asked casually, "Then if you encounter a gilt Yi from the Warring States Period, would it be more valuable?"
"That's of course. Things are rare and valuable. Bronze wares from the Warring States Period are inherently valuable. Some are national treasures and cannot be measured by price." Lin Haitao smiled and nodded, "But I have never seen it before.
I have seen with my own eyes a gilt bronze tripod from before the Han Dynasty. The word "gilt" appeared relatively late. As far as we know, the word "gilt" was first seen in "Ji Yun" revised by the Song Dynasty. It said, "U.S. dollars are called gilt". This is
This shows that the gilding process on bronzes was not common before the Han Dynasty, but many unearthed cultural relics prove that the gilding process existed during the Warring States Period, and the technology was quite mature."
"But now you have witnessed it with your own eyes!" Jiahao sneered secretly, "You are really ignorant! The bronzes of the Warring States Period are placed in front of you and you still say you have never seen them before!"
After hearing Lin Haitao's words, Jiahao already knew something in his mind. He knew that the bronze tripod in front of him had an extraordinary origin and might be a big leak for him. Of course, this situation was not used for picking up leaks in normal times.
If you want to get something you see at an auction exhibition, you have to participate in the auction and compete with others.
