Chapter 282 Accurate Dating (700 Monthly, Monthly Pass)
Among the crystal products discovered throughout the ages, many are made of colorless transparent crystal, and some are amber-colored.
However, no matter which one, even in modern times, it is difficult to imitate by hand.
For example, when the Hangzhou Museum opened in 2002, the museum tried to ask glass factories to make replicas of artificial crystal cups. After hard work, several companies still refused because they "cannot make it."
As for the crystal wall in front of us, we don't talk about cutting or drilling, just polishing, and the technology is extremely superb.
You must know that Chen Wenzhe is a master of polishing skills, and he still has some experience in polishing mirrors.
Therefore, just by looking at it, he could tell that it was a hand-polished product.
In addition, the cutting of the inner circle was in line with the characteristics of the Warring States Period. He generally confirmed that this was a crystal wall from the Warring States Period.
The reason why I think it is not from the Han Dynasty is mainly because of the craftsmanship. The craftsmanship of the Han Dynasty is definitely more advanced than that of the Warring States Period.
However, although many people still used jade bis in the Han Dynasty, they were certainly not as popular as when they first appeared.
It is definitely not easy to make a crystal wall.
Besides, Chen Wenzhe also has a pair of dragon and phoenix jade pendants from the Warring States Period in his hand. By comparing the pair of dragon and phoenix jade pendants, Chen Wenzhe can see that the cutting and drilling techniques of this crystal wall belong to the Warring States Period, not the Han Dynasty.
This is the benefit of being well-informed. Having seen the craftsmanship of the Warring States Period, now when you see the works of the Warring States Period, you will have a general idea.
Coupled with the confirmation of polishing techniques, Chen Wenzhe could easily identify that this was a crystal wall from the Warring States Period 2,500 years ago.
Looking at the crystal wall as smooth as jade and as transparent as glass, Chen Wenzhe still felt a little emotional. If this thing fell into the hands of an ordinary person, who would value it?
It must have been treated as a glass product. I think Fan Jiaxuan must have been very proud after getting it, right?
He raised his head and glanced at Fan Jiaxuan. Sure enough, he was looking at everyone with his head held high at this moment.
"Xiao Chen? What did you see?"
"The Warring States Crystal Wall is perfectly preserved and very rare!"
"Haha, no wonder you dare to open an antique shop, you have such good eyesight!" Fan Jiaxuan was even more proud.
One aspect of this exchange meeting is to seek help from peers. This is a real exchange.
Another aspect is to show off.
How can I walk at night in brocade clothes after I have obtained a treasure?
You must take it out and shock your colleagues, so that you can feel proud after picking up the leak!
"I can tell it's a crystal product. Whether it's from the Warring States period or not is another matter!" Professor Li couldn't stand it anymore and directly attacked Fan Jiaxuan.
"If you can't see it, it just means you have poor eyesight!" Fan Jiaxuan said disdainfully.
"Haha, you are a bit like the National Treasure Gang!" Xiao Xiangqi laughed.
Fan Jiaxuan quit: "Although this is a plain crystal wall, you can still see a lot of things through some details. If you are joking, forget it. If you are serious, then I will really look down on you.
.”
"Xiao Chen, tell me!" Li Mingsheng still trusted Chen Wenzhe the most.
Chen Wenzhe said: "There is nothing to say. From the shape point of view, it is very similar to the glass used at home, but please note that this is a natural crystal. I believe Professor Fan has done various appraisals.
This is qualitatively different from artificial amorphous bodies. There are many large pieces of natural crystals even now. I believe that with the manufacturing technology at that time, it should not be difficult to polish them into the shape of jade."
"Still not getting to the point!" Xiao Xiangqi said with a smile.
At this time, Mu Kairong said: "The craftsmanship is definitely from the Warring States Period, and it has aged well enough. There should be no doubt about it."
"Have you seen the craftsmanship of the Warring States Period? Why not from the Han Dynasty?"
Mu Kairong stopped talking. This was an argument. These things can only be speculated.
If you really say that, then why is it not from the Spring and Autumn Period? You must be sure that the craftsmanship of the Spring and Autumn Period is not as good as that of the Warring States Period?
Maybe a person from the Spring and Autumn Period was better than many craftsmen from the Warring States Period?
After hesitating for a moment, Chen Wenzhe said: "I have seen the craftsmanship of the Warring States Period. It should be a mature craftsmanship during the Warring States Period. It could not be achieved during the Spring and Autumn Period. Although it was achieved during the Han Dynasty, it would take a lot of effort to make one.
Accessories that are too popular don’t seem to make sense.”
"Jade was also very popular during the Han Dynasty!" Li Mingsheng gave Chen Wenzhe a look and asked him to show off.
"You also said that it is a popular jade. This is a crystal wall. Crystal is more troublesome to make than a jade. The most important thing is that the cutting, drilling and polishing marks on it are all in line with the characteristics of the Warring States Period."
At this time, Professor Li felt something was wrong, and Chen Wenzhe was too confident.
"You don't have a jade from the Warring States Period in your hands, do you?"
Before Professor Li said anything, Mu Kairong also noticed something.
I have to say that although this professor looks dull, his reaction skills are first-rate.
Chen Wenzhe said with a smile: "There is no jade, but I accidentally received a pair of dragon and phoenix jade pendants from the Warring States Period."
"Good boy, you really have a lot of good things in your hands." Fan Jiaxuan said with some admiration.
"What good luck!" Zhen Xiwen, who was next to Mu Kairong, finally couldn't help but muttered.
Mu Kairong glanced at him sideways and said: "This is not luck, but strength. Not only the jades from the Warring States Period are on the market, but also the ancient jades from the Hongshan Period are everywhere. They are also very common. How many have you found?
Authentic?"
Li Mingsheng also said at this time: "This is really not luck. If you don't have an understanding of the craftsmanship of the Warring States Period, how can you make mistakes? Just like today, if you don't understand Siliu, you can identify this piece through the jade of the Warring States Period.
The crystal wall is an antique from the Warring States Period?"
"Who knows if the pair of jade pendants are from the Warring States Period? If the pair of jade pendants are not correct, this crystal product cannot be accurately dated!" Zhen Xiwen said unconvinced.
Fan Jiaxuan glanced at this kid blankly. It took a long time to get the crystal wall in his hand, and he didn't just find a few appraisals at the scene.
If he wasn't very sure that this was an ancient relic from the Warring States Period, would he show it off?
Obviously, other professors also thought of this, so everyone simply ignored Zhen Xiwen.
"Xiao Chen, you can't just let Lao Fan show off, you can also bring something out so that we can learn more about it." Xiao Xiangqi said with a smile.
"Yes, the celadon glazed double dragon wash that was broken in the hall earlier is not simple." Mu Kairong also said in a joking manner.
"Professor Mu is really powerful. I really made it up based on the shape of the brush."
Chen Wenzhe really admired the professor at this time. From the mobile phone protective case, he could also think of a pen washer!
