The man surnamed Zhang asked: "How could it be an imitation? Who could place such a beautiful and natural bronze tripod?"
Han Kongque sneered and said: "Even if you are not an insider, you know about the bronzes placed in that small village, right? I think that even if this bronze tripod is subjected to carbon 14 identification, it is impossible to identify anything. How about why the bronzes are there?"
Some of the items that have been passed down in an orderly manner can be sold at a high price, but others are worthless? Why? It’s because there are too many fakes. Even if they are real, they cannot be sold at a high price."
Han Kongque's words were not groundless, so the man surnamed Zhang was speechless.
In today's world, genuine porcelain fragments and fake fragments are glued together to become cultural relics that can be auctioned for astronomical prices. Scanning porcelain and earthen pots with rays can turn them into ancient relics from thousands of years ago, an authentic Chinese painting by a master.
Carefully peel it into two layers and sell it again at a high price...
Today's counterfeiting of cultural relics has indeed reached the point where every possible means is used. Some craftsmen's counterfeiting abilities can compete for the Nobel Prize.
For example, one of the worst tricks for counterfeiting is to use
Many craftsmen in the market will use the newly unearthed porcelain fragments from the ground as a basis to complete the ancient porcelain shape into a complete body. Only the bottom or the inscription are real, and the others are fake. People often sell this kind of porcelain.
, because it is difficult to identify, many people have been deceived.
The West has long conducted digital research on Chinese ceramics. They found that through physical principles, the data on radioactive decay inside the appliance can be obtained to determine how old the appliance has been.
But the counterfeiters immediately kept up with the times and developed counterfeiting techniques to deal with it. They then added some rays to the equipment to deal with this kind of detection. There is a joke in the industry that it was supposed to go back to the Qing Dynasty, but the time of the irradiation
After a while, I saw the results. It was back to ancient times.
Since this testing method is a destructive identification method. It requires sampling on the porcelain and is destructive, so the domestic cultural relics industry still mainly relies on visual inspection.
The porcelain will be identified from its body, shape, glaze color, craftsmanship, painting pattern, style, etc. Only when these indicators meet the requirements can it pass the preliminary selection.
In addition to splicing old and new, and
Smokey…
It can be said that as far as thoughts go, so far can those who make fake copies go.
Seeing Han Kongque talking about some of the fraud methods in the industry, the man surnamed Zhang's face was longer than that of a donkey.
"If Boss Han doesn't like these two important items, then there won't be any objection to this pile of jade, right?" The man named Zhang simply broke the jar and pointed at the pile of jade.
Han Kongque said with a smile: "Of course there is no objection. This pile of jades is just a gift to me. I made it clear just now that if those gold ornaments are not a stepping stone, the price of one million is too high, and now it is obvious
, those gold ornaments are just gold ornaments and have nothing to do with antiques, so Brother Zhang must be embarrassed to accept my money for these jade articles."
If the Golden Scabbard Jade Sword and the Jiangding Ding were fakes, then the previous gold ornaments could not be antiques, but they were real gold after all. Therefore, although Han Kongque said they were expensive, he did not complain about being fooled, but he did not
I will pay for that pile of jades.
The face of the man surnamed Zhang kept changing color. After a while, he said: "These jades are gifts from me. Boss Han, wait a moment. I also have some calligraphy and paintings here. Maybe Boss Han is interested."
With that said, the man surnamed Zhang walked towards the archaeological shelf, while Han Kongque held a jade in his hand and said, "Do you know how new jade can be turned into ancient jade? In fact, it's not difficult at all. First burn it, then bury it in the ground, and hide it in the sheep."
In the legs, such as the famous jade clothes with golden threads.
A businessman used a bunch of jade pieces to concoct a jade dress with gold threads. He received strong support from many top appraisal experts and "estimated it at 2.4 billion yuan," and successfully obtained a 1.2 billion loan from the bank.
The water floated.
How did this 'Jade Clothes with Golden Threads' deceive many experts? The counterfeiters would first burn the new jade with fire to cause cracks on the surface of the jade, then kill a dog, put the jade article into the dog's belly, and bury it in the ground.
One year.
Or cut a slit in the sheep's leg, hide the jade inside and sew it, and take it out after a year. The jade will have "blood Qin". Jade or porcelain will become soft if buried underground for a long time, which is easy
It absorbs the substances it comes into contact with, so many counterfeiters will burn the jade first, then burn the cotton into ashes, wrap it around the jade, and the ashes seep into the cracks, giving it the appearance of ancient jade.
In addition to the 'Golden Jade Clothes', another joke in the field of cultural relic counterfeiting is the 'Han Dynasty Jade Stool'. Forgery is actually imitation, but we must also respect history and art. These two are just fakes out of thin air. No one sat on the stool in the Han Dynasty.
, they all sit on the floor, how come there is a jade stool? This is purely an act of money worship driven by profit, and it is too irresponsible to history."
Although the man surnamed Zhang left the room, Han Peacock and the others were always under his supervision, so Han Peacock’s words fell into his ears without missing a beat. When he heard Han Peacock’s words, the face of the man surnamed Zhang changed.
It's directly green.
However, with the idea of selling as much as possible, the man surnamed Zhang directly took out a wooden box, which contained some books and papers. Of course, there were also some scrolls, but not many.
Listening to the man's footsteps, Han Peacock spoke again: "Speaking of counterfeiting, the counterfeiting methods of calligraphy and painting are very sophisticated. For some famous paintings and foreign cultural relics, counterfeiters will carefully peel off a master's original work in two layers and treat it as two paintings.
sell.
The calligraphy and painting that can be peeled off into two layers must be originally written on two layers of rice paper. The first layer can be sold at a high price, but the stamps and ink marks on the second layer have been blurred, and the value has been damaged. The price will not be as high as the first layer.
So high.
Many people make fake calligraphy and paintings by copying, for example, the word "十". If it is a genuine calligraphy, the ink mark at the intersection of the horizontal and vertical lines must be heavier than other places. Use a flashlight to shine it from the back, and you can clearly see the difference.
But if it is a copy of the fake, the counterfeiter usually just traces the outer frame first, and then fills in the colors. The ink mark where the two strokes overlap is not special. For example, Zhang Daqian is a master in making fake paintings. During the Anti-Japanese War, there was a Wu, Han Tibetan
My family went to Chongqing to find Zhang Daqian. When he came back, he said: I never dare to buy calligraphy and painting again, his fake ones are too real.
There are also real paintings with fake inscriptions, fake paintings with real inscriptions, calligraphy and paintings copied with a special printer, using projection as an intermediary to copy the original works of the master...
There are countless counterfeiting methods in the calligraphy and painting industry. Although fakes are everywhere, as long as the buyer is not greedy, no matter how clever the counterfeiting is, it will be useless. Many people are deceived because they are greedy, thinking that they will understand everything after reading this book or watching some TV series.
In fact, the knowledge of cultural relic collection is very profound.”
"Mr. Han is really an expert, why don't you show me these calligraphy and paintings to see if they are fakes." The man surnamed Zhang grunted and threw the box directly into the hall.
No matter what Han Peacock thinks, since he has the confidence to let him see it, he will take a look. Although it is his first time to see this guy named Zhang, Han Peacock has no good impression of him, so it is not cheap to hold him.
Taking advantage of the bastard's thoughts, he squatted down directly to see if there were any surprises inside.
At this moment, footsteps came again from outside: "Zhang Cheng, are you at home?"
As soon as the voice came, several people walked into the room. Han Kongque looked up and saw that they were acquaintances.
"Are you kidding people again by using the junk your grandfather made? I say, even if you are cheating, you should also get something that is in good condition and not very famous, like this golden sheath and jade sword, something as conspicuous as this.
Even a fool wouldn't be fooled if he knew a little bit about it." A middle-aged man walked in and immediately saw Han Peacock squatting on the ground, flipping through a book.
Just like what he said, the golden sheath and jade sword were so conspicuous, but Han Kongque ignored it, so he must have known it was a fake, so the middle-aged man didn't leave any room for his words, and he was not afraid of ruining Zhang Cheng's business.
Zhang Cheng smiled bitterly and said: "Uncle Zhao, please be polite. These things are all treasures left by my grandfather. Why did they turn into tatters when they got into your mouth?"
"Forget it, I won't talk about you kid. If you have this time, you might as well contact me a few more customers. This time I have friends coming to Yangcheng. Please introduce a few reliable ones. They are all big names in the home furnishing industry.
"Here, don't bring out those crooked things to waste our time." Zhao Dayou looked at Zhang Cheng and said as if he hated iron.
Zhang Cheng said: "There are indeed a few Ming and Qing Dynasty furniture around, but the prices are not low. As long as they are genuine, they are not cheap. After all, over the years, even a fool will become smarter after being deceived too many times.
"
"As long as the price is not too outrageous," Zhao Dayou said.
Zhang Cheng smiled bitterly and said: "It's just that the price is too outrageous to keep it until now. Otherwise, can those good things still be kept till now?"
"That's right, that's why I came to you, kid! As long as they really want to sell, the market price is there, my friend can just add some price and buy it, so that the people you know won't suffer.
But if you ask for a high price, you don’t really want to sell. You are a professional in this area, so you can help me more. I think who here really wants to sell something? You must know that as long as the matter is done, it will be easy.
Yours." Zhao Dayou said.
After Zhao Dayou finished speaking, he wanted to pull Zhang Cheng away, but this time Zhang Cheng did not move. It turned out that this was not the case.
"What? You don't want to live anymore? If Uncle Zhao hadn't helped you, you would have starved to death without anyone taking care of you." Zhao Dayou looked at Zhang Cheng doubtfully.
Han Kongque stood up, and the two women who were blocked by him were also exposed.
"Mr. Han?" Zhao Dayou looked at Han Peacock and said in surprise.
Han Peacock nodded and said with a smile: "Brother Zhao?" (To be continued...)
