Chapter 98 Valuable imitation

"I didn't say it!" Chen Wenzhe didn't want to admit it.

"I have said it, and the netizens in the live broadcast room can prove it. Besides, if it doesn't work, let's just watch the video replay!"

"Okay, I said, what's going on? Did you really let me eat it? You know, this plate from Emperor Kangxi of the Ming Dynasty is in the collection of the Jinling Museum. Did you really let me eat it?"

"Uh, is there really such a thing?"

"Why not? When the report just came out, a large number of imitations appeared on the antique market, all of which were made in the Kangxi year of the Ming Dynasty. If it hadn't been like this, how could that little boss still be so cheap on you?"

"Huh? Are you saying that the little boss knows the tricks?"

"Of course he knows. He also thought it was a counterfeit made during that period. Otherwise, why not hide it like a treasure?"

"This thing feels like a wrong version of RMB! It's very interesting that things are rare and valuable!"

"Get recognized by the world, and your achievement value will be increased by one!"

...

Finally hearing about the improvement, Chen Wenzhe expressed that he was very satisfied and that this was the effect he wanted.

Live broadcast is really a good thing, otherwise, where would he go to collect wool?

He wanted to see how many achievement points he could accumulate today.

"Tell me about this Chenghua porcelain. It's all right. I'll reward you, so I won't kill you by swallowing the porcelain!"

Li Qingtian was very proud. Unexpectedly, the thing he picked up casually was actually the same item in the collection of a top domestic museum. Who could he show off to?

All the netizens in the live broadcast room were shocked.

What else can you do if you find something missing on Taobao?

"Is this Chenghua porcelain authentic? It was given by the little boss. If he finds out, will he be so angry that he vomits blood?"

Holding the blue and white plate, Li Qingtian's eyes shone.

"Those are vulgar characters, which are simplified characters. They have been around for a long time, especially among the people. A large part of the simplified characters we use now are the original vulgar characters. Therefore, when simplified characters appear on ancient porcelain, you

Don’t be surprised, of course, not all porcelain with simplified Chinese characters written on it is a good thing.”

“It still depends on your eyesight!”

"Well, if you don't have eyesight, you won't recognize something good if you encounter it. However, luck is also important!"

Chen Wenzhe looked at Li Qingtian with strange eyes. He seemed to have a strange physique, just like Zheng Yu.

Chen Wenzhe went to the antique market by himself and never found anything missing.

But following others, it is very strange that you can pick up the mistakes, who can you tell me about this?

After this incident, Chen Wenzhe was not in a hurry to leave. He followed Li Qingtian and watched him keep showing off.

It can be said that Li Qingtian made three stops in one step. This time, he stopped in front of a stall specializing in selling copperware.

Chen Wenzhe was not interested, so he followed from a distance. There was another pile of national treasures. He almost vomited when he looked at these things.

"Boss, how much does this copper kettle cost?"

"Eight hundred!"

"Eight hundred? So expensive? Where is this small cup?"

"This is the Bronze Lord, eight thousand!"

Li Qingtian was speechless. The Bronze Jue was smaller and actually more expensive.

"I just look more beautiful. Are these really national treasures? The boss is cheaper."

"It can't be cheap. These are high imitations, so they are worth the price!"

The boss's tone was very cold, which aroused Chen Wenzhe's interest, and he finally saw that Li Qingtian was frustrated.

I took two casual steps and looked at the stall owner. His high imitation products were sold so confidently?

Copperware that can sell for 800 yuan should be high-quality. Is this boss so confident?

"Huh?" I was in the mood to watch the excitement, but I didn't expect to see something good in the blink of an eye.

Not to mention other things, Chen Wenzhe has also reached the level of expertise in distressing bronze wares. After all, his basic distressing has been upgraded to expertise.

This gave him a professional level in making everything old.

This is an analogy. For example, bronze ware, in addition to basic utensil manufacturing, is mainly buried in flooded soil, which is water rust, natural aging, and soil rust.

Chen Wenzhe is truly expert in these old-fashioned methods.

He can't see the signs of wear on something, so it's naturally extraordinary!

Chen Wenzhe could tell that the bronze was complicated to make and relatively heavy. It especially had a charm that made him like it more and more the more he looked at it.

He had seen too many traces of chemical bites, and this one was obviously not aged by such low-end means.

This is modern high imitation, there is no doubt about it.

It is probably because of this that this treasure has been kept until now, otherwise it would have been bought by someone long ago.

Although Chen Wenzhe couldn't see any flaws, he knew that bronzes with such complicated craftsmanship would definitely not appear here randomly.

Since it is an imitation, what does it imitate?

After adjusting the focus, Chen Wenzhe took a photo.

Direct image search, although the search accuracy was not high, he still found the genuine product.

There is nothing difficult, just look for the national treasure and you will be right.

Chen Wenzhe could tell that it was a statue. In ancient times, the statue was a wine vessel, used for drinking.

The wine vessel, which is very complicated to make and reaches a height of thirty to forty centimeters, was definitely a very important vessel in ancient times. Once something like this is unearthed, it is a national treasure.

Sure enough, Chen Wenzhe had the right idea, it was a replica of a national treasure.

This thing is called He Zun. It is a bronze made by a noble named He. It is a real national treasure that is prohibited from leaving the country.

He Zun is a very famous sacrificial instrument from the early Western Zhou Dynasty. It was unearthed in 1963.

So, this must be an imitation.

Back then, a farmer in Xishan discovered this bronze vessel in his yard.

Then it was sold to the local scrap collection station at a "high price" of 30 yuan.

Later, an expert from the local museum discovered the bronze artifact.

Although he was unable to identify the cultural relic at the time, he still accidentally bought it back for 30 yuan.

More than ten years later, experts found an inscription on the bottom of the bronze vessel, including the word "China".

This is the earliest occurrence of the word "China" in historical records.

Due to various other reasons, He Zun was listed as a national first-class cultural relic and banned from overseas exhibitions.

This is a bronze from the early Western Zhou Dynasty in China, with a height of 38.8 cm, a diameter of 28.8 cm, and a weight of 14.6 kg.

It has a round mouth, a prism, a long neck, a slightly bulging abdomen, and high round feet.

There are exquisite high-relief animal face patterns on the abdomen and feet, and the horn ends protrude from the surface of the vessel.

There are four door edges on the sides of the body, with a thick shape and exquisite craftsmanship.

These are not the key points, the key point is the inscriptions cast on the inner bottom.

There are 12 lines and 122 words in total. It describes the story of King Cheng inheriting the legacy of King Wu and building the eastern capital of Chengzhou.

This is consistent with ancient documents such as "Shang Shu·Zhao Gao" and "Yi Zhou Shu·Du Yi", and has important historical value.

This thing is now stored in the Baoji City Museum, so what appears here is definitely a replica, because it was impossible to cast two pieces of this thing during the Western Zhou Dynasty.

However, just because it is a replica, does not mean it has no value.
