Zhao Hanyan said with a bad smile: "You are from small-leaf rosewood, so you don't have to be afraid of being embarrassed. Although it has no characteristics and has denser brown eyes, if you remove the Buddha's head, it will not be a Buddhist bead."
"Of course I know that Buddhist beads have a specific number, and I don't believe in Buddhism, so I removed one so that it can be used as a pure decoration." Han Xing said.
When Han Peacock took a look, he saw that the beads were not of very good quality and could only be of ordinary grade, and there were black veins on them. This was probably the main reason why Han Xing was reluctant to take them out.
He had just laughed at Zhao Hanyan because of this, so naturally he didn't want to expose what he was eyeing in front of Han Kongque.
Han Kongque didn't say much. He just pointed at the string of Buddhist beads and said, "It's not a big problem with the red sandalwood. Didn't you find anything? Look at the beads I just carved. Are they similar to this string of Buddhist beads?"
Seeing them nodding, Han Kongque continued: "This is because their materials are almost the same. They are all materials close to the roots and the periphery of the annual rings. This is the so-called root material and sap material. It is an ordinary material. Its advantages are density and density.
Yes, the disadvantage is that the brown eyes are more obvious, the oiliness is lower, and there are slightly more dark veins.
This is not the most important problem. Even compared to my beads, this string of beads is not as good as mine. As long as you are careful, you can see that this beads is oval, not too round. You know what is the reason for this.
Is it? It’s definitely not because of the engraver.”
Seeing the two of them shaking their heads, Han Kongque could only say helplessly: "These things must be recorded in the book. As long as you pay attention, it is common sense that you can know. The reason why this string of beads becomes oval is because,
This material has not undergone natural drying or drying processes before being made.
The wood was not dried in the shade and was still wet when making the beads, so after the beads came out, they were pulled into an oval shape due to internal tension. This is irreversible and there is no way to change it. Of course, it doesn't matter if it is not too round, anyway.
You don't use them as Buddhist beads either.
Also, if you buy Buddhist beads, you don’t necessarily have to worry about Buddhist rules. Although Buddhist scriptures require that the beads used for chanting need to be regulated, such as 13+1 beads, or 18+1, 108+1 beads, etc.
But this is not too important. If it were not regulated in this way, wouldn't it be convenient to recite it? Wouldn't it be called a rosary or a Buddhist bead?
Buddhism is a very tolerant religion. As long as you are dedicated to the Buddha, you can weave a small wreath of weeds and flowers and hold it to recite Buddha's name. Moreover, the bracelet does not have to be made of Buddhist beads. In modern society, bracelets are more
It is purely decorative and does not need to follow Buddhist regulations."
Han Xing was a little frustrated: "I knew there were problems a long time ago, but I didn't expect the problems to be so big and numerous."
I was only thinking about the black tendons just now, but I didn't realize that this string of beads was actually made of root wood or sap wood. What's even more speechless is that the wood was not dried in the shade when it was made. From here, I also know that the merchant
What a rush for quick success.
Zhao Hanyan had a deeper feeling: "I really learned a lesson. Now I understand what our professor said, no matter how much we learn from books, it is better to go out and take a look in person. It is the same string of beads, but each string is different."
different."
Han Kongque said: "You still need to read more books. But after reading, you need to learn and apply them, and you have to be attentive. Can't you see the characteristics I see?
Regarding Han Xing’s string of beads earlier, he also said that the color is very beautiful and why it is so beautiful. As long as you think about it carefully, you will know that it is because it is new.
There are also black ribs, new small-leaf rosewood bracelets, the color is red, it is unlikely to appear deep purple, the color of the old material red sandalwood, so if you see black ribs, don’t think you have missed it, you have encountered the old material small-leaf rosewood
If you really think so, it would be even more embarrassing."
When Han Kongque said this, Han Xing and Zhao Hanyan immediately blushed, as they seemed to think so.
You must know that the old material of small leaf rosewood bracelets and the current new material of small leaf rosewood bracelets are completely different prices, and they had never heard of black ribs, and of course they had never seen them.
They only know more information about small-leaf rosewood than ordinary people, and they can identify which materials are small-leaf rosewood. But if they are asked to analyze and identify what kind of small-leaf rosewood is good, they will be blind.
Seeing the looks of the two of them, Han Kongque knew that he had guessed correctly, so he said: "It is learned to pay attention to everything. As long as you are serious, you will not make such mistakes. Make bold assumptions and verify carefully.
This is not only useful in identifying small-leaf red sandalwood. This kind of attitude towards life is the best in the entire identification industry. In addition, every piece of art must be viewed with a skeptical heart.
If you want to go further in the appraisal industry, you must change your mentality. You cannot be like ordinary people, thinking of picking up the missing items on Taobao when you encounter something and only see its advantages.
As for any fake product, it is natural that the more similar it is, the better it is, and the more authentic it is, the better. Therefore, you can always find advantages in those fake products, because people imitate them based on these advantages.
The more highly imitated something is, the more advantages it has, but no matter how many advantages you find, it is not the essence of appraisal. Appraisal is to let us discover shortcomings.
Even if this thing has ninety-nine advantages, as long as it is wrong in one place, it will not be considered a mistake. But as long as there is such a trace of uncertainty, you have to be careful to verify it.
You can ignore all its advantages and just find one mistake. No matter how good it is, as long as there is one thing that is definitely wrong, it is a fake. As long as you understand this and do this, you will not be too
It might hurt your eyes."
Han Xing sighed and said: "I know, ordinary people just have learned some identification knowledge, and they will run to the street to pick up leaks, because they know what characteristics are consistent with the characteristics of genuine products.
What they see is what the book says about the authenticity, so they all go for the authenticity. So when they see an item that matches the authenticity record in the book, they think it might be an item.
Authentic.
If they can find a few more advantages, they may think that this is the real thing. If they find that the price is not too high, they will only focus on picking it up.”
"Yes, that's why there are so many fakes in the antique shop and they can still be sold." Han Peacock said with a smile.
Han Xing's face was already sweating: "I have been shopping in the antique street recently, and I really have this idea. I saw many high-end imitations, which look like real ones. Fortunately, my elder brother once told me that those are high-end imitations.
Otherwise, I would probably buy it."
"I would rather buy a fake that looks real than a real one that looks fake. This is not just about the cheapness of the fake, but also a mentality. Choosing genuine products from fakes and choosing fakes from genuine products will have completely different results.
Yes, you won’t suffer any loss if you buy everything as fake.”
Zhao Hanyan said: "What the boss means is that when we do appraisals, we must be suspicious of everything. No matter what it is, we only look for the shortcomings, regardless of the advantages. As long as we can't find any shortcomings, this
Is there a high chance that something is genuine?”
"Yes, that's what it means, but you have to have confidence that you can find the shortcomings as long as they are there. If you don't have any skills, you won't be able to find the shortcomings of anything.
Therefore, it is still very beneficial to read more books. Just like Han Xing, he has read a lot of books and memorized a lot of things, but his mentality is not right.
If you use the mentality I just mentioned to re-evaluate the bracelets you bought, you may find the shortcomings I just mentioned. In this case, you will still pay a high price, and you will see that they all have shortcomings.
Bracelet?" Han Peacock continued to educate the two of them.
"Brother, how much is this string of Buddhist beads worth?" Han Xing asked coquettishly.
Han Kongque said: "As for the price, due to the large size, around 500 yuan is not bad."
Han Xing was speechless, and Zhao Hanyan almost laughed. Han Xing bought it for 20,000 rupees. When converted into RMB, it was almost 2,000 rupees. Now it is only worth 500. Han Xing lost much more than himself.
Seeing Zhao Hanyan like that, Han Xing's face almost turned green, but since he was already embarrassed, he might as well learn more: "Brother, how can I buy a good small leaf red sandalwood bracelet? What's the best way to play with it after buying it?"
"Let's just say that your new string has bright colors, which means that the beads have just been made not long ago and have not oxidized yet. After a period of natural oxidation, the color will become darker. This plate is very good after it is ready.
It doesn't matter whether the small-leaf red sandalwood has stars or not. The important thing is the density. For a diameter of 2.0, about 60 grams is considered a common product, about 65 grams is considered a fine product, and about 70 grams is considered a top quality.
But it also depends on the appearance and workmanship, whether the materials are the same, along the grain, whether the holes have been patched, whether there are cracks, and then the texture and fluorescence. The most common place for bracelet problems is the Buddha head tee. This is important.
pay attention.
In addition, when it comes to handicap playing, don’t rush to get started when you first start playing handicap. It is best to wear pure cotton gloves and play handicap for about a month, and just play for 1-2 hours a day.
Then let the beads oxidize naturally for one to two weeks, and then play with the glove plate for a week. You can basically get started. You can use the hand plate directly or wear gloves depending on what you like.
It is worth noting that not only the surface of the beads should be plated, but also the holes must be plated, otherwise the coating will be inconsistent and it will be ugly. The purpose of this is to make the surface of the beads have a shallow layer of coating, even if it is stained with oil and
For sweat and the like, just wipe it with a cotton cloth and it will be back to its original state."
"Sweat, I didn't expect it to be so troublesome to buy a small-leaf rosewood bracelet. Not to mention the density and workmanship, you have to confirm whether it is made of the same material. You also have to check the small holes along the grain. You also have to pay attention to whether they have been patched and whether there are any.
We don't know whether the cracks, lines and fluorescence are normal. It would be weird if we didn't get tricked." Han Xing was sweating to death.
