The revealing method is a method of hiding treasures, and it is still popular today, but it is very troublesome to do, and few people use it anymore.
The so-called hidden method is to disguise ancient things as modern imitations to protect the disguised things.
In ancient times, some people obtained treasures that they should not have, or treasures that they could not protect, but they were not willing to give them up. In order to preserve such treasures, they used disguise methods. They turned good things into bad and ancient things.
Things become modern, so that others won't keep an eye on them, and the treasures can be kept safely.
It was under such circumstances that the hidden method came out. I don’t know exactly who invented it, but one thing is certain. The hidden method already existed as early as the Tang and Song Dynasties, and was even more popular in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. As for modern times,
, as the laws have become much more complete and there are more ways to preserve items, fewer people use this method.
Mr. Liu knew about the hidden method, but he had never seen anything tampered with using this method. After Mr. Zhou reminded him, he took a closer look at the Xuande furnace and finally discovered something was wrong.
"Xiao Li, you are amazing. You can find such things. It seems that we will never accept it!"
After understanding it, Mr. Liu exclaimed loudly. Mr. Zhou agreed with this. Without Li Yang's repeated reminders, he probably would not have discovered that this was a Xuande furnace that used the hidden method.
"Don't say that, it's just luck!"
Li Yang's face turned slightly red. This was the first time he heard about the hidden method today. He had never known it before. However, he would not take the initiative to say this, otherwise he would have to explain how he discovered the mystery of this stove. Picture
Cause trouble.
"Luck, we also want luck like yours!"
Mr. Zhou rolled his eyes. The Moon Shadow Lamp, the Xuande Furnace that was concealed by the invisible method, and the high-grade jadeite that he got from the stone bet before. Even they were a little jealous of Li Yang's luck.
"Mr. Zhou, do you think this Xuande furnace can reach Xuande Dynasty?"
Liu Lao sat up straight and his face became a little serious. Something that can use the hidden method is definitely not bad. Things that were concealed in the late Qing Dynasty should at least be used in the Ming Dynasty. The general Xuande furnace in the Ming Dynasty does not seem to need this.
To cover up, only a very small number of authentic Xuande stoves from the Xuande Dynasty would be coveted, and only those who could not use this method would be used to protect them.
Zhou Laoqing shook his head and said: "It's hard to say now. You need to remove the cover up to see it, but I guess it is probably something from the Xuande Dynasty!"
Now even Mr. Zhou is very optimistic about this Xuande furnace and hopes that it can be a treasure of Xuande Dynasty.
Wu Xiaoli's eyes widened. She didn't expect that there was something wrong with this Xuande furnace. The Xuande furnace of Xuande's dynasty was definitely a good treasure. I really don't know how Li Yang found it.
Ouyang Liang was dumbfounded. For an auction company manager, he understood better what the Xuande stove of the Xuande Dynasty was. It was absolutely impossible for such a thing to fail in the auction, and it would definitely fetch a sky-high price.
"Xiao Li, can you take off the disguise of this Xuande furnace now and let us see its true face?"
Mr. Liu turned to look at Li Yang again and said expectantly. Mr. Zhou seemed even more anxious than Mr. Liu. He was even more eager to know whether this Xuande furnace belonged to the Xuande Dynasty.
Li Yang's face showed a rare rosy look, and he smiled bitterly: "Mr. Liu, I also really hope to see the true appearance of this treasure as soon as possible, but I don't know how to get it to remove the disguise.
!”
Li Yang is telling the truth this time. He has a way to remove the disguise, but there is no guarantee that it will cause damage to the Xuande furnace itself. Li Yang has identified this Xuande furnace as belonging to the Xuande Dynasty. Any damage will make people feel distressed.
.
Mr. Liu and Mr. Zhou looked at each other, and suddenly they laughed together. Their laughter was very hearty.
"Haha, Xiao Li, finally there is something you don't know? Haha!"
Mr. Liu laughed happily. Li Yang's behavior all the time made them depressed. A junior who was younger than their grandson actually kept suppressing them in the place where they were most proud. This made the two elderly people
Very unhappy, now I finally see that Li Yang also knows something.
But this is normal. If Li Yang really knows everything, then they might as well go home and take care of their great-grandson and leave the world to these young people.
"We know a little about how to remove camouflage. It is difficult to disguise, but it is not difficult to remove camouflage. All you need is the tools. If you agree, we will remove the camouflage right now!"
There was still a smile on Mr. Zhou's face, but his tone was much more comfortable than before. Mr. Zhou felt the same as Mr. Liu. Seeing Li Yang's incomprehensible look made them very happy.
"Okay, since you know the method, I'll trouble you!"
Li Yang nodded immediately. It didn't matter if he was laughed at by the two seniors, not to mention that they weren't really laughing at him.
Mr. Zhou nodded, called two staff members accompanying him, and asked them to go out and buy some things.
While the two of them were out shopping, Mr. Zhou and Mr. Liu took a closer look at the Xuande furnace, and the more they looked at it, the more they sighed.
In less than twenty minutes, the two men walked in with a washbasin and several bottles filled with liquid. Seeing these things, Mr. Zhou immediately stood up and took the things himself.
On the other side, Mr. Liu actually sat there and made some tea. He just put a little too much tea leaves, and the tea leaves accounted for more than three-quarters of the cup.
Mr. Liu first poured some mineral water into the basin, and then poured the liquid in the bottles into the basin in different proportions. Li Yang didn't know what was in these bottles, but he smelled the smell of alcohol.
Mr. Zhou carefully brought the Xuande stove over, took out a new towel, lightly moistened it, and carefully wiped it on the Xuande stove. Mr. Zhou had to look carefully every time he wiped it, and then
Then pour out more or less the liquid in the bottle.
After wiping the same place for a while, Mr. Zhou put away the bottles, carefully put the Xuande stove into the basin, and began to wipe the whole place.
After each wipe, some thin things will peel off from the Xuande stove, slowly revealing the real copper body inside.
After scrubbing everything, Mr. Liu handed over the tea he had just brewed. Mr. Zhou took out the brewed tea leaves, placed them on the body of the Xuande stove and rubbed them gently. After a while, the body of the Xuande stove changed.
The color is deeper and the copper color is natural, giving people a dazzling beauty.
Only then did Li Yang know that Mr. Liu made tea to remove the disguise on the Xuande stove. Just now, Li Yang thought that Mr. Liu liked to drink strong tea and brewed it for himself. He sighed that Mr. Liu's taste was really strong and there were so many tea leaves.
You can also drink it.
After more than half an hour, Mr. Zhou carefully took out the Xuande stove, wiped every bit of it carefully with a clean towel, and finally placed it gently on the table.
Mr. Liu and Mr. Zhou glanced at each other, and both of them could see the excitement in each other's eyes. The Xuande furnace in front of them was indeed an authentic Xuande furnace of the Xuande Dynasty. After removing the disguise, the Xuande furnace was
All performances are consistent with the characteristics of genuine products.
"This is the real Xuande stove!"
Wu Xiaoli was in a daze and murmured that she had seen many Xuande furnaces, but none of them could compare to the shock that the one in front of her brought to her.
"It is indeed an authentic Xuande furnace. Look at the bottom mark. You really didn't expect that the person who pretended to do it even covered up the bottom mark!"
Mr. Liu picked up the Xuande furnace, sighed softly, turned over the furnace body, pointed to the six-character regular script payment at the bottom and continued: "The bottom payment of the authentic Xuande furnace actually has secret marks, and these secret marks have been concealed.
So we didn’t pay much attention at first!”
Mr. Liu took a breath and said: "Currently, a total of three characters have been found to have hidden symbols on the inscriptions of Xuande furnaces. The first one is the word 'Ming' in the Ming Dynasty. The characteristic of the character 'Ming' in the authentic Xuande furnace is 'sun'."
"Speaking of the moon, nod your head." Take a look. Is there an opening on the upper right side of the "日" character in the word "明"? Is there a small corner formed by the lower bend of the "month" character?"
Wu Xiaoli on the side hurriedly leaned over and looked at it carefully. This clear character was really a little different from usual. Mr. Liu probably wouldn't notice it if he didn't say it. However, Li Yang already knew this, so he was not surprised by it.
"The second secret mark is on the word '德'. The characteristic of the word '德' is 'the heart is crossed and the four are traveling, and the two board the boat and the waves are flying.' The regular script '德' on this Xuande furnace has these characteristics.
feature!"
Mr. Liu pointed at the word "virtue" again, and Wu Xiaoli found that the cross in the heart of the word "virtue" was indeed gone, connected with the four, and there was still an edge on the left side.
"The third secret sign is the word 'Nian', which means 'the wind blows the willow tree at the beginning of the year'. Tree is the same pronunciation for vertical. The vertical part of the character 'Nian' on the authentic Xuande stove is a little curved, so that's why it has such a meaning.
Inside!"
After Mr. Liu finished speaking, he straightened the Xuande stove and handed the Xuande stove to Mr. Zhou.
After Mr. Zhou took it, he sighed softly and said: "I have collected several versions of Xuande furnaces, but there is not one authentic Xuande furnace. I was lucky enough to see an authentic one at a French auction a few years ago, but it was a pity that it was sold out.
A foreign buyer took it away, and I regretted it for a long time. But the Xuande furnace in front of us is in better condition and more completely preserved than the one in France. It can be called a national treasure!"
Mr. Zhou's eyes seemed a little moist as he spoke. The staff next to him hurriedly came forward and handed Mr. Zhou a towel. Mr. Zhou wiped his face and drank another cup of tea in one breath. His excitement slowly calmed down.
"Yes, to be able to be preserved in such a complete way, the disguise of the hidden method is indispensable, but more importantly, I met Xiao Li. Even if we two bad old men saw this Xuande furnace, I am afraid they will continue to let it go.
It’s covered in dust!”
Mr. Liu said with a sigh, and glanced at Li Yang as he spoke. Mr. Zhou nodded fiercely, with a look of gratitude in his eyes. These old people all have special feelings for the inheritance of ancient culture.
