Shen Yu stopped when he heard the sound, turned around and looked at Song Jiajia, with a trace of doubt on his face.
Song Jiajia smiled and said: "Teacher Shen, you haven't given a valuation to this jade bottle yet?"
Shen Yu suddenly realized something in his heart, but his face remained calm, "The price of this jade bottle is too high. For the sake of safety, it is better not to disclose it.
"And Teacher Zheng likes the jade bottle very much. I believe that with his financial resources, he will definitely give this little sister a top-end price higher than the market price."
In fact, Shen Yu couldn't estimate the price of this jade bottle. After all, the most expensive jade in his store is just a pair of white jade bracelets worth hundreds of thousands.
This jade vase would definitely not be sold if it didn't cost 18 million, so I simply passed it on to Zheng Congyuan.
Song Jiajia showed admiration, and a look of appreciation flashed across her eyes.
Shen Yu felt that he had nothing to do, so he continued to walk towards the expert table. At the same time, he also made up his mind that the thing to be identified next must be porcelain. Regardless of whether Fatty Lin could see it or not, he would not help anymore. Anyway, I have already helped him once.
Unexpectedly, Song Jiajia called out to him as soon as he took two steps.
Song Jiajia explained: "Mr. Shen, the number of online netizens in today's live broadcast room has exceeded 200,000 in record time. Everyone wants to ask you some questions about appraising calligraphy and painting ancient books. Can you spare some time? Can you give some answers to netizens on the spot?"
Shen Yu understood that this was a good show and he had to return to the show by himself!
There was no dissatisfaction or any hesitation. Shen Yu said angrily: "Since Tibetan friends want to ask questions, I will try my best to answer some doubts for netizens and save Tibetan friends from taking some detours."
Soon the live broadcast room screen appeared on the big screen.
The first netizen’s online name is quite interesting, it’s called [Drive a tractor for a joyride].
However, he gave the camera to a painting on the wall of his home. In the picture, the mountains are painted in gorgeous colors, the dyeing techniques are skillful, the clouds and mist are filled like a fairyland, and there are a few hermits leisurely outing in the mountains, far away from the worldly world and enjoying themselves.
Shen Yu reminded aloud, "This netizen can only get a rough look at the live treasure appraisal. If you want to appraise calligraphy and paintings, you'd better come to the scene."
[Take a tractor ride]: "Master Shen, I heard that a master of counterfeiting in ancient times could peel off a famous painting into several pieces, which is what is called "peeling off the second layer" in the antique circle. When he re-framed it and sold it, Every one of them can be mistaken for real, and it is difficult to identify them easily. Is this true?"
Shen Yu thought for a moment, "Before answering this question, I would like to ask you a question. Suppose you received a commodity inheritance.
"Then you are faced with two choices. One is to sell the goods directly and get 1 million 100%.
"There is another way to reprocess this batch of goods. The advantage is that the profit is doubled, but the disadvantage is that if the goods deteriorate, you will not get a penny. Which one do you choose?"
[Driving a tractor for a ride]: “Of course it’s the first one, it’s safe, but the second one is easy to get into trouble, and the gain outweighs the loss.”
Shen Yu said with a smile: "So you have got the answer. In my opinion, there is no such thing as exposing one's own painting, even if the owner of the painting is a master forger.
"Because a famous calligraphy and painting is valuable no matter which dynasty or generation it is in. The cost of uncovering an ancient painting is too high, and it is far better to repaint a fake one.
"Furthermore, I have seen framers repairing ancient paintings. Even if one frame is peeled off into two pieces, the ink and brushstrokes of the entire painting will be much lighter. You can tell at a glance that something is wrong, let alone peeling off several layers.
"As for silk paintings or ordinary rice paper, there is no possibility of uncovering the paintings. You have to be careful when touching them."
[Take a tractor ride]: "But why do so many people say it can be revealed? To be honest, after I bought this painting, I saw another one exactly the same elsewhere."
Shen Yu didn't think twice and answered casually: "This is not difficult to understand, because what you bought is probably a fake. In fact, many people don't know much about ancient paintings, and they think of ancient paintings too simply.
"An ancient painting can be passed down for hundreds of thousands of years. It is no longer a piece of paper, but multiple pieces of paper pasted together.
"If you want to uncover the painting and get the core of the painting, you must uncover the backing paper. After uncovering the backing paper, you must also uncover the life paper. After hundreds of years of adhesion, the life paper has been integrated with the core of the painting. What you get after peeling it off is often A pile of debris.
“Even if you are highly skilled, you still face many follow-up problems.
"Everyone can think about it. If you uncover the painting, what will you do with the inscriptions, poems and seals on the painting?
"You have to put the seal in the original place, but it can't be completely overlapped. Nowadays, with microscopes, if the seal is slightly wrong, it will be smashed in your hand."
[Driving a tractor for a ride]: "You just said you can't do it, do you mean that others can do it? Or does this situation exist in terms of technology?"
Shen Yu looked solemn: "Nothing is absolute. It is possible that ancient framers got greedy and peeled off the surface of calligraphy and paintings, thickened them and gave them to customers, and then left the second layer to fake them again.
"However, this kind of thing is very rare, because once it is discovered, it will be impossible to gain a foothold in the industry, and it is not easy to mess with anyone who can collect famous paintings. If it is not done well, you will lose your wealth and life."
The second netizen is called [picking up leaks and picking up money]. He is relatively shy and only asks questions in text, "Teacher Shen, as far as I know, there are three ways of saying "antiques", "antiques" and "antiques". I don't know which one. Which statement is more standard?"
Shen Yu: "Dong Qichang said this in his "Thirteen Theory of Antiques", "Miscellaneous ancient artifacts should be called 'antongs'.
The so-called "bone" means to take the flesh and rot it and preserve the bones, which means to preserve the essence of the past.
Dong Qichang believed that appreciating the calligraphy, paintings, porcelain, jades, etc. left by the ancients can cultivate one's moral character and is the behavior of a gentleman.
After that, people called precious antiques "antiques".
Some people feel that bone characters are unlucky, and they have gradually turned into antiques.
"Antique", "Antique", and "Antique" all have the same meaning. You can call it whatever you like.

Pens, inks, paper and inkstones, ancient jade from the Qin and Han dynasties, calligraphy from the Jin Dynasty, paintings from the Tang and Song dynasties, the five famous kilns, and official kilns from the Ming and Qing dynasties, these are all treasures left to us by the ancients."
The third netizen is called [Lao Wang loves collecting]. He is a middle-aged man in his fifties with extraordinary bearing. He should be in his collection room. The room in the camera is full of calligraphy and painting porcelain.
Facing the camera, he smiled and took out an ancient book, "This book is the Qing Dynasty's printed version of "Journey to the West." Teacher Shen, can you tell me what other names are there for ancient books besides the printed version?"
In the camera lens, the book has been bitten by insects and is tattered, and the paper is still somewhat moldy. Although Shen Yu did not see it in person, the musty smell must be very strong and pungent, because the middle-aged man also frowned.
Shen Yu didn't think too much and answered casually: "After the birth of paper, books were originally manuscripts, which were books copied by hand. It is said that the earliest surviving manuscript in the world is "Three Kingdoms" copied by Chen Shou of the Jin Dynasty.
After that comes the engraving.
After the invention of woodblock printing, there was no need to copy books one by one, just engraving them, and the price of books became cheaper.
The engraving version is also called the publication version, the engraving version, and the engraving version.
According to the place where the books are engraved, they are divided into three categories: official editions, family editions, and workshop editions. They can also be subdivided into prison editions, factory editions, government editions, and academy editions
The earliest extant engraved version is the "Vajra Prajna Paramita Sutra" engraved in the ninth year of Xiantong in the Tang Dynasty, that is, 868 AD.
The third is rubbings, which are easier to understand. They use paper to copy the words on the inscriptions, tablets, and seals.
The fourth is rare books. What are rare books? They refer to ancient books that are rigorously collated, beautifully printed, and have no typos.
Generally speaking, ancient books written before the Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty can be called rare books.
The fifth is the solitary copy. The solitary copy is also easy to understand. It is the only one in the world, including but not limited to books, manuscripts, inscriptions, rubbings, etc.
The sixth is the fragmentary version, which literally means an ancient book that is incomplete.
The classification of ancient books is roughly the above."
