The ink is in the shape of a cow tongue. The whole body is embossed with gold, and the whole body is covered with cloud and dragon patterns. There is a rectangular concave surface in the center of one side, and it is signed with two vertical six-character styles in the regular script of Yangwen, which is very light,
Tian held it in his hand and weighed it: "About 30 grams, this thing is not bad."
This is not a great deal, Mr. Lent asked: "Is this thing any way to come from?"
"This is Qinglin Marrow, one of the brand inks launched by the Mohist Mohist in the Ming Dynasty. It was originally created by Fang Yulu, and was usually made into a column shape. A pearl was embedded outside the mouth of Panlong, with the word "Shujin Qinglin Marrow" and the four-fold
Qian Sanfen, this is a famous ink-making artist, and it is easy to identify." After Luo Tian said that, after Yu Jun's translation, Mr. Lent showed a puzzled expression on his face: "Ink, aren't they all water-like
Is that? Why is this ink solid?”
Luo Tian smiled: "This ink is one of the ancient Chinese study supplies, it is a black pigment for writing and painting, and later it also includes red ink and various color ink. The main raw materials of ink are tobacco materials, glue, and Chinese medicine.
By grinding the ink with water, the ink used for writing a brush can be produced. The ink comes from ink, which is the earliest study tool used by the ancients. Ink grinding ink in ancient times was to grind this thing."
"Wei Jia Siyi's earliest writing of "Qi Min Yaoshu" describes the method of making ink. The chapter "Ink" in the Volume 16 of "Danqing" written by Song Yingxing in the Ming Dynasty, which uses oil smoke and pine smoke to make ink
The method is described in detail. The raw materials of ink smoke include tung oil, rapeseed oil, soybean oil, lard, and pine wood; among which pine wood accounts for nine-tenths, and the rest accounts for one-tenths."
"From making to the final production, there are also multiple processes such as glue, compounding, steaming and pestle, and there is a molding process. The engraving of the ink mold is an important process and an artistic one.
The creation process. The shapes of ink are roughly square, rectangular, round, oval, irregular, etc. The ink mold is generally composed of six blocks, front, back, upper, lower, left, and right, round or idol-shaped ink mold
Then only four or two boards are required to synthesize. Built-in ink agent, tightly press the hammer to smash the finished product. Most of the text is engraved on the side, so that it is easy to replace when reusing the ink mold. The appearance of the ink is diverse, and can be divided into the original color ink and lacquer clothes.
Ink, rinse gold ink, lacquer edge ink. This ink is rinse gold ink."
"The ingredients for ink making are different and often secretly. They usually include egg whites, fish skin glue, cowhide glue and various spices, medicinal materials such as lilac, purpura, Qinpi, Sumu, white sandalwood, Suhexiang, pearl, etc. Various ingredients are available.
There are more than a thousand kinds." Luo Tian said: "Because the ingredients of each ink make are different, people from all dynasties also have famous ink makers, including Wei Wei Dan of the Three Kingdoms, Zhang Yong of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Zhang Yu of the Song Dynasty, etc. It is worth mentioning
Li Tinggui from Huizhou, Southern Tang Dynasty, was originally named Xi, because the late Southern Tang Dynasty mastered the ink, and was given the surname Li. Li Tinggui's ink was made of pine smoke, pearls, dragon brain, white sandalwood, and fish glue as raw materials. The ink made of pine smoke, pearls, dragon brain, white sandalwood, and fish glue is as solid as jade. In the palace
It was used to draw eyebrows. By the Ming Dynasty, Li Tinggui was as precious as a treasure.
"Oh, then I am a famous artist?" Jin Chengxu asked impatiently.
"If it comes from a famous artist, then I would suggest that Mr. Lent break the example. If not, Mr. Jin will be disappointed." Luo Tian now knows that the two of them have joined forces to try him, so he simply tries his way slowly, and
If you don’t explain it at once, you need to keep it a little more behind closed doors.
Sure enough, Kim Sung-wook was so anxious that he was: "So yes, or isn't it?"
"Well..." Luo Tian said calmly: "Qinglinmei is one of the brand inks launched by the Mohist Mohist in Huizhou in the Ming Dynasty. It was originally created by Fang Yulu, and there were many imitations of it in later generations, so it is difficult to be true or false.
Distinguish.”
Jin Chengxu took a deep breath: "So is my square ink real or fake?"
Luo Tian had already figured it out in his heart. At this time, he picked it up and smelled it in a pretentious manner: "The truly wonderful ancient ink must be fragrant but not gorgeous, and there will be no irritating and violent fragrance or foul smell, which is what we Chinese people do.
It's quaint, well, this tastes pretty good, it seems real."
Like? Kim Sung-wook was so anxious that he scratched his head: "Is this like?"
"I think it's true. All famous inks are over a hundred years old. No matter what kind of gloss is used for the original production, after more than a hundred years, the damage of its collection, wear and erosion of the air,
The surface naturally shows an ancient color. The older the age, the older the color becomes. If there is no ancient, mixed and old, it is obviously the new one or the inferior one. Your ink technology is correct.
It can match the color and taste, and it is undoubtedly the authentic product.”
Luo Tian coughed gently: "This ink grinding is also very particular to the ancients in China. Use clear water. If there are impurities in the water, the ink grinding will be impure. As for adding water, the most
Do not use too much to avoid soaking the ink soft or splashing the ink, so as to add it gradually. Grind the ink evenly, grind slowly until the ink is thick. Use fresh and fresh grind.
Ink that has been left for too long is called Sumo, and Sumo is generally unavailable. After grinding the ink, take out the ink and do not place it in the ink pool, otherwise the glue will easily stick to the ink pool, and it will not be easily removed after drying, and it can be prevented.
It becomes soft and both sides suffer. You cannot expose it to the sun to avoid dryness. Therefore, it is best to put it in the box to prevent moisture and avoid direct sunlight and avoid dust. "
Jin Chengxu's face became unnatural, and Luo Tian pointed at a trace on his ink: "It seems that Mr. Jin had tried to use this ink, and it was not properly preserved and used, so his quality was lost."
"This..." Jin Chengxu finally nodded: "Once after finishing the grinding, I forgot to take out the ink and the glue stuck."
After hearing this, Luo Tian turned to Mr. Lent: "Mr. Lent, you know everything. I think it is clear whether the back door is open or not."
Rent nodded with a smile, and then shook his head gently. Seeing him like this, Luo Tian smiled: "Mr. Rent, the test is over, are you still satisfied?"
Yu Jun was stunned when he heard Luo Tian's words, not knowing what happened. Jin Chengxu knew it. Unexpectedly, Luo Tian pointed it out on the spot. He was a little embarrassed. He only coughed gently and Luo Tian glared at him.
Yu Jun: "Aren't you a translator? Just translate it according to the original words."
As soon as Yu Jun conveyed Luo Tian's words, Lent made a dull and dumb voice in his throat. He didn't know how to react for a long time. After a long time, he said something. Yu Jun immediately smiled after hearing it and turned to Luo Tian:
"He said he lost, and he was convinced."
Luo Tian had known that foreigners were also reserved towards the Chinese, or to capable Chinese, so for this kind of test, especially after he had obtained the chief appraiser of Sosby, there was obvious
Disrespectful attitude is an important reason why Luo Tian is serious. Now he heard Mr. Lent admit defeat with his own ears, and he felt very happy. He did not hide this pleasure and said to Mr. Lent: "When can I start working?
