Chapter 1508: Professional tricks to lure people into a trap
Chen Wenzhe couldn't make an accurate judgment because he didn't see other Buddha statues, but it was almost the same!
"Those Buddha statues are all in the manufacturing factory, why don't we go over and take a look?"
At this time, Chen Xingchen, who had been following, spoke again.
Li Jinli no longer felt so proud. He waved his hand and said, "Let's go and take a look at those Buddha statues. I have found many experts to authenticate them."
Although I trust my boss, what if something happens?
This is the general mentality of those guys in the antique shop who take pills to blind their eyes.
Chen Wenzhe also wanted to see it, but wasn't there a precious rubbing of the Six Horses of Zhaoling?
"The rubbings you bought were not also bought from the counterfeiting factory in Yangluo, right? What do you think? That's where counterfeiting is!"
Chen Wenzhe was a little helpless. Is this Li Jinli floating?
"Boss, I was followed by several experts from the Forbidden City!"
Looking at Li Jinli with an ugly face, Chen Wenzhe didn't know what to say.
Don’t experts from the Forbidden City need to pay attention to it? Even though they follow it, they still say it’s good.
However, people who are in the antique business, even if they see 100% treasures, they will still say that they are not sure.
Even if I see a fake one, sometimes I have to say that I can’t see it accurately, but it feels good.
As for whether it's accurate or not, shouldn't they give you a little guidance and let you guess on your own?
You guess it's true, but experts can't say for sure it's true!
This is the routine used by some unscrupulous experts to lure people into a trap.
There are even some so-called experts who rely on modern news networks and even TV treasure appraisal programs to package them.
These people have become famous by deceiving people from the beginning. Can you believe them? They can’t trick you to death!
"No way, it's too attractive. They are all classic Buddha statues from the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties!"
In the end, Li Jinli could only accept his bad luck.
Fortunately, he sought stability and did not offer a high price.
Now think about it, did the people who competed with him really give up the competition in the end because of Yi Niantang's reputation?
I'm afraid not necessarily! Now imagine that there are flaws and pitfalls everywhere.
But at that time, I was just confused by the ghost and couldn’t see through it!
Chen Wenzhe couldn't say anything, while Li Jinli was reflecting.
As for Chen Xingchen, this shouldn't add insult to injury.
So, the car fell into silence.
As for the rubbings of the Six Horses of Zhaoling, it seems that they are also in Chen Xingchen’s hands?
They are all routines, and they are all movie stars.
The trajectory of Chen Wenzhe's activities today should have been determined by Li Tianqiang, Li Jinli and Chen Xingchen.
Since everything is in the manufacturing factory, Chen Wenzhe doesn't have to say anything, he just needs to follow these guys around.
When they arrived at Yi Niantang Factory, as the car drove in, Chen Wenzhe saw the huge Buddha statue in the yard.
Don't tell me, these Buddha statues really look like that.
However, as long as you are knowledgeable and can see a little bit, you can distinguish the authenticity.
Countless fakes of Buddha statues have been made throughout the ages, but as long as you catch a few flaws, you can quickly identify their authenticity!
In recent years, with the changes in collection concepts, Buddha statues, with their unique artistic shapes, profound cultural connotations, and rich physical relics, have become important works of art for many people to invest in, manage their finances, and cultivate their character through collection.
Therefore, it has become very popular in the collection and auction market, and its price has also been rising.
Under the temptation and drive of economic interests, some lawless people also took the opportunity to get involved, fabricate and sell counterfeit goods, and make huge profits.
As a result, the Buddha statues on the market are so mixed that it is difficult to tell whether they are authentic or fake.
This makes many collectors and investors afraid and discouraged.
Therefore, how to identify the authenticity, age, style, subject matter and value of Buddha statues and other professional techniques have become a focus of concern for many Buddha statue collectors and enthusiasts.
There are many ways to forge Buddha statues, and the tricks are constantly being updated.
But no fake product can escape the words "soft lines and sweet expressions".
No matter which experience is used during identification, the problem can be solved as long as one or two major flaws in the counterfeit are grasped and the critical point is pointed out.
Many experiences can also be used to draw inferences and draw inferences.
The key is to have the awareness to detect counterfeiting, to pursue problems relentlessly, and to be strict rather than lenient.
Don't deceive yourself and others, find steps for fakes, and cut your feet to fit the shoes, otherwise the truth will eventually come to light.
Obviously, Li Jinli was deceived. He had preconceptions and thought that he could buy with confidence after being confirmed by experts.
The subconscious mind thinks it is genuine and thinks that it is picking up leaks, so many obvious flaws are invisible.
In fact, it is relatively easy to identify the authenticity of Buddhist statues in the past.
Because Buddhist statues in each era have their own styles and characteristics.
This is the focus when identifying Buddha statues. When you understand the focus of a Buddha statue, the age of the statue will be revealed.
For example, the identification of Buddhist statues during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties is not difficult as long as you understand the characteristics of the era.
Early Buddha statues had high buns, either polished or braided.
But there is no snail hair. The snail hair appeared relatively late, only after 500 AD, and became popular in large numbers after that.
The Buddha statues and Buddha handprints in the Sixteen Kingdoms period are all meditation seals, because early Buddha statues were not used by believers to seek wealth and have children, but were objects of meditation for monks.
There are also Buddhist statues from the early Northern Wei Dynasty, such as those from the Sixteen Kingdoms period, most of which were unearthed in Su, Ning and other Yellow River basins.
In the past, few people could recognize such statues, and they could be obtained in the antique market for a few hundred dollars, but now fakes emerge in endlessly.
For example, there are many modern imitations of the gilt bronze seated Sakyamuni Buddha from the first year of Taihe in the Northern Wei Dynasty.
Buddhism developed in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and many famous Buddhist statues appeared.
The styles of Buddhist statues in the Northern Wei Dynasty can be roughly divided into those before the capital was moved and those after the capital was moved.
The Buddha statues cast before the capital was moved retain a strong influence from the styles of Buddhist statues in the Western Regions and Liangzhou areas.
In the 18th year of Taihe, that is, 494, after Emperor Xiaowen Tuobahong moved the capital to Yangluo, the Northern Wei Dynasty began to completely imitate Han culture.
At this time, the clothing style of Buddha statues appeared in a style that was not shoulder-length.
It is not a right-shoulder coat. The coat has a low-hanging collar and a wide belt on the chest. The right collar rests on the Buddha's left hand, and the belt flutters smoothly.
This was the attire worn by the southern scholar-officials at that time, and was called the Baoyi Bodai style.
Among the classics are the painted and gilded Buddha statues in the Northern Wei Dynasty. The Buddha statues at this time were relatively thin, so-called thin and clear.
Therefore, when we see this kind of skinny Buddha statues with robes and broad belts, we can judge that their era is after 500 AD.
At present, authentic Northern Wei Buddhist statues are almost invisible on the market.
The Northern Wei Dynasty Buddha statues in front of Chen Wenzhe were not just one, but they were all classics.
For example, this is a gilt-bronze standing statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva from the first year of the Northern Wei Dynasty (AD 504).
It is very rare for such a Buddha statue to be handed down and even enter the market. How can there be several of them at once?
