Previously, the two old men mentioned the changes in ancient porcelain caused by mercury and gold.
Also, they mentioned the earthy aroma and the specialness of the wine vessel.
Chen Wenzhe doesn't understand these things, but he understands ancient tombs, and he also knows what kind of ancient tombs and what kind of ancient porcelain can appear.
For example, some special porcelain, such as sweet parallel imports, should be similar to the porcelain they mentioned before, right?
Sweet parallel imports refer to the fact that ancient porcelain has been buried under the water table all year round. The water quality is not acidic, not alkaline, and not bitter. It is called sweet water and nourishes the porcelain. When it is unearthed, it will look like new.
Only by observing and considering the point of view that aging will inevitably occur with time can we find the basis for the identification of ancient porcelain. However, sometimes this idea is wrong and it depends on the situation.
Most people really don’t know much about this kind of thing.
Chen Wenzhe was very familiar with the changes in the situation in the tomb, and he knew very well that the appearance of sweet parallel imports must be the cause of the tomb.
When it comes to tombs, especially the environment of ancient tombs, Chen Wenzhe knows more. After all, he is a professional.
For example, a fire pit is one that has not been opened and is well sealed.
When the hole is opened, a stream of gas will escape. This gas will make a "boom" explosion sound when exposed to Daguotou dry cigarette smokers.
According to modern scientific analysis, it is methane gas, not a "treasure gas".
The things that come out of the fire pit are called "fire pit goods".
The porcelain unearthed in this pit is as new as ever. It has a soft texture when you hold it in your hand. After a few minutes, it becomes hard after being blown dry by the wind.
Excessive force will leave finger marks on the glaze, which will be extremely difficult to clean afterwards.
In the late Qing Dynasty, only one of hundreds of fire pits could be encountered.
In the Republic of China, there were still people in the industry who could identify such goods.
Then there are the most holes, which refer to the ones that have been opened in history and the gold and silver have been taken away.
The remaining porcelain is worthless, difficult to sell, and should not be taken away, which is called "dirty goods".
This kind of porcelain is mostly fine porcelain, which is called fine porcelain.
Large items are often damaged artificially, and such items also have their own specific characteristics.
In the early days of liberation, there were still people who could recognize it.
Since there is a hole, there must be a hole.
It was opened hundreds of years ago and the organic matter inside is no longer identifiable.
There are usually only ceramics and a few small miscellaneous items inside. The porcelain from the rotten pit is called "rotten pit goods".
The characteristics of crappy goods are relatively obvious, and they are also the most popular type, and they have a large number of related vocabulary.
Such as: soil qin, tree root spots, grass root hairs, yellow water spots, smelly dry black, earthy aroma, dirty air, old sour spots, water marks, mercury qin, glass glue, peeling spots, floating wax, century-old wax, tendon vomiting
Lines, stains, crab claw lines, etc.
Chen Wenzhe may not know about other things, but when it comes to unearthed fake goods, he is really professional.
At this time, Chen Wenzhe had begun to understand some of the knowledge he had learned through the two old men.
It turned out that there were some antique features that he didn't know about, but now he also knew what caused them.
Since we are talking about cheating, Chen Wenzhe would like to say more in order to attract more attention.
After all, this kind of knowledge is not very useful now. After all, if you use it, the country may give you a silver bracelet for free.
Therefore, there is no need to keep this kind of knowledge secret.
Since we are talking about scams, let’s be clear. For example, the two biggest categories of scams are definitely dry pits and water pits.
A dry pit refers to an area that has not been flooded and is usually located in a high geographical location. What comes out of it is called "dry pit goods" or "northern goods", and its characteristics are also different.
Inside the broken bubbles of dry pit porcelain are yellow water spots.
But inside the broken bubbles of rotten porcelain, there is smelly dry black.
Puddles correspond to dry pits, which are those that are below the groundwater level all year round, and what comes out of them is called "puddle goods."
This jargon is used to identify the approximate geographical location of an excavation.
Of course, the most important thing is the unearthed things, especially porcelain. As long as it is made from puddles, it has various characteristics.
It's like opening a awn piece, which means that after watering, the glaze cracks again and the flakes lift up. When you touch it with your hand, it feels like touching the awn.
After a few months, it closed again on its own, like a flat surface.
If you put it in water for a few years, take it out again, the awns will bloom again.
Linru porcelain and ice porcelain are the best.
There are also living awn slices. After the awn slice is opened, if dirt enters the gap, it is called dead awn slice and will not open or close again.
The living mango tablets are clean and can be opened and closed again after being soaked in water.
Porcelain in puddles has various characteristics mainly due to poor handling. Porcelain unearthed in such puddles requires professionals to handle it.
But how professional can some tomb robbers be?
Therefore, quick-drying flakes appear. After ancient porcelain comes out of water, it is not dried slowly and is exposed to wind and sun. Porcelain that should not be flaked will also flake.
However, because the film is dried quickly at the same time, the color of the film pattern is consistent.
The shrinkage seam is small to distinguish it from other opening forms.
Some people have imitated this feature, but the imitation is too different.
In fact, these are minor problems, the big problem is that the porcelain is damaged.
For example, take-off injuries occur when the porcelain has been rotted for a long time and all the glaze has been stripped off.
Undressing injuries are often accompanied by characteristics such as powdery hair and deglazing, making them easy to identify.
"Boss Chen is very knowledgeable!" Mr. Zhou said with emotion.
Whatever he said, young Chen Wenzhe could actually pick up a few sentences.
Although he didn't say much, he hit the point every time, which showed that he really understood.
This is not easy. He can know so much after decades of accumulation. Where is Chen Wenzhe? Bowen Qiangji?
"Repair the old as before. If you want to repair the porcelain, you really need Boss Chen's knowledge." At this time, Wu San said with a smile.
Mr. Li looked down on Wu San a little, and he said directly: "Such a nice thing to say? We study the characteristics of ancient porcelain just to make it look old? Speaking of this, I really remembered something.
Boss Chen just said so much, we also need to respond a little bit, for example, needle-shaped Glauber's salt, unearthed porcelain, cannot be washed and dried in the shade. After one month, needle-shaped Glauber's salt will form, and the porcelain from the Tang Dynasty is the most obvious."
Hearing what Lao Li said, I was a little unconvinced!
"When it comes to distressing, we need to study the various characteristics that appear on ancient porcelain under the influence of time. We all know the general characteristics. We in Jingzhen pay more attention to some details, such as watermelon frost, tofu flowers, etc."
At this time, Lao Zhou was not to be outdone. He also saw that Chen Wenzhe was really familiar with all kinds of scams.
Only then did he remember that he was also a master archaeologist.
Therefore, Lao Zhou looked at Chen Wenzhe a little strangely. He even wondered if this kid really dug a lot of ancient tombs?
Chen Wenzhe didn't know what Lao Zhou was thinking. When they talked about the details, he was a little numb.
It’s not that I don’t know, it’s that the original research wasn’t enough.
For example, Chen Wenzhe has definitely heard of watermelon frost, but he has never paid much attention to it.
Therefore, he did not interrupt at this time, but listened, and listened very seriously.
Because these are really practical information, knowledge that Chen Wenzhe had no access to before, and even secrets.
