When the audition began, to Liu Dong's surprise, but also reasonable after thinking about it, most of the people holding various antiques in their hands chose to side with Mr. Huo and the others.
In the queue in front of three old men.
Even if a few occasionally walked up to Liu Dong, after seeing him sitting in the back, who was so young, they would probably complain a few words, then go back and line up again.
Liu Dong, who lamented the deep-rooted concept in Chinese people's minds of young people that they are "talking the talk but not doing the work". He could only hold his chin with his left hand and look at the scene in front of him in boredom: "I am too idle to die, but I am too tired to die of exhaustion"!
Sitting next to Liu Dong was Mr. Zhu. At this moment, the old man was so busy that he was hitting the back of his head. But occasionally when he was drinking water, he looked at Liu Dong who was leisurely and almost falling asleep. The old man couldn't help but feel a little jealous.
Logically speaking, young people are energetic and should work more than old guys like them. How can we let him be so relaxed? Is there any reason for this?
so……!
"Liu Dong, you need to identify this for him!"
Without asking whether Liu Dongtong agreed, Mr. Zhu directly pushed the blue and white Ruyi'er flat pot in his hand to Liu Dong's desk.
"Hey, how could you do this!"
The middle-aged man in a dark blue down jacket saw that he had finally been placed in line, but before he could even wait for the appraisal, he was actually pushed aside by the appraisal expert in front of him, into the hands of a young man who was only a few years older than his son?
How is this possible!!
"Don't worry, the man who is showing you something is named Liu Dong. Although he is young, he is now one of the top antique appraisal experts in the country. Especially in the appraisal of porcelain. He has very profound attainments. Moreover, he is also
The director of the Yuanming Museum in China, you can never go wrong if he shows you something, don’t worry!”
After finishing speaking, Mr. Zhu waved his hand and motioned for the middle-aged man to go over and not block the people behind him.
"Yuanming Museum? Director?"
The middle-aged man looked at Liu Dong in surprise.
He is no stranger to the Yuanming Museum. During this period, the name of this museum often appeared on TV, radio, and newspapers.
"This thing of yours can only be regarded as a handicraft, not an antique. Take it back!"
When the middle-aged man who was looking at Liu Dong suspiciously, considering how much appraisal skills he had, heard this, anger suddenly appeared on his face.
"I asked you whether you know how to authenticate. This blue and white porcelain of mine was handed down from my ancestors. It is authentic Qianlong blue and white. If you don't know, don't talk nonsense!"
"Qianlong blue and white flowers?"
After a slightly sarcastic smile, Liu Dong picked up the blue and white porcelain on the table again and said: "Since I am sitting here today, let me tell you why it is just a handicraft... First of all, what is the complete history of your porcelain?"
The name should be called 'Blue and white lotus pattern Ruyi'er flat kettle', the shape of the vessel is quite regular. However, the patterns and lines on the flat kettle are unevenly dense. If there were craftsmen from official kilns in the Qianlong Dynasty who produced such defective products.
Then there are only two outcomes for him: Either he smashes it to pieces, or he gets dragged to have his head looked at."
"Look at the glaze color. The blue and white porcelain of the Qing Dynasty used domestically produced green materials instead of suma-li green, so the characteristics of the fired porcelain are 'stable, thick and calm'. Look at this blue and white flat pot again. The glaze color is floating.
It is on the surface and has not penetrated into the tire at all. The main reason for this feature is that it does not use natural green materials, but chemical green materials, and the time will not exceed 20 years!"
"Looking at the ring feet again, the ring feet of porcelain in the Ming and Qing Dynasties were cut out layer by layer. When touched, they are round and smooth. In terms of identification, there is a special term to describe this kind of ring feet, called 'loach back'
'!As for this flat pot, I guess if I touch it a few times, my fingers will be scratched!"
"Finally, I saw a 'Qianlong blue and white tangled lotus pattern Ruyi'er flat kettle' in the Palace Museum. It was a treasure of the imperial kiln. There are absolutely no two identical imperial kiln vessels in the world! Because every imperial kiln piece is unique.
The emperor ordered it to be burned! Do you understand?"
After finishing speaking, Liu Dong put the porcelain in his hand on the table and said, "Take it back. Although it is not an antique, it can still be regarded as a handicraft. If you put it at home, it will be a sight to behold!"
"Oh, thank you!"
After thanking Liu Dong awkwardly, the middle-aged man quickly picked up his blue and white flat pot on the table, turned around and left in a hurry. His slightly hunched back looked a bit embarrassed no matter how you looked at it! Of course, he was inevitably disappointed.
"Liu Dong, that's good!" Mr. Zhu took advantage of his free time and smiled.
"Hey, this is nothing! Anyone with some experience in identifying the flat pot just now will know that it is a fake!" Liu Dong responded.
His words were not considered self-effacing, because the blue and white flat pot just now was so crudely made that it could not even be considered a high imitation. It could only deceive ordinary people, but it could not pass the eyes of insiders.
"Um!"
Mr. Zhu smiled and nodded, then glanced at the long queue in front of him whose tail was nowhere to be seen, and frowned slightly.
But after the corner of his eye glanced at Liu Dong who was doing nothing, the old man quickly remembered the scene just now. He rolled his eyes and said loudly with a smile on his face: "I told you not to wait in line here.
Ah, go to the side and queue up!"
"Hey, why do you always...!"
Before Liu Dong finished speaking, Mr. Zhu continued to speak loudly: "Don't think that Mr. Liu Dong is young, but he is now the director of the Yuanming Museum, a special expert of the Palace Museum, and a member of the Chinese Painting and Calligraphy Association.
, a member of the China Jade Carving Association, his ability in antique appraisal is much better than that of an old man like me!"
Well, in order to reduce the pressure on himself, the old man even gave Liu Dongan the title of ‘Special Expert of the Palace Museum’!
More importantly, the other party did not give Liu Dong a chance to refute!
"Yes, yes! In terms of appraisal ability alone, Mr. Liu Dong is the strongest among the four of us. Don't miss such a good opportunity!"
Obviously, Mr. Huo, who also looked down upon the leisurely Liu Dong, also echoed.
Soon, Geng Mingchang also joined the ranks of instigators.
Faced with the concerted efforts of the three elderly people, Liu Dong, who was alone at home, could only bear it and smiled bitterly!
However, despite the instigation of the three old men, there are still only a few people who actually line up in front of Liu Dong to seek his appraisal. It is estimated that except for those who know something about the Yuanming Museum, most of them will have some trust in Liu Dong.
Most ordinary people remain silent.
When it comes to antique appraisal, people are still more likely to trust the older generation who seem to have more experience.
In this regard, other than lamenting that they were tired while Liu Dong was young and free, the three old men had no good solution.
Only Mr. Zhu, who was close to Liu Dong, saw that Liu Dong was free and gave him something to appraise. Repeatedly, Liu Dong gradually became a little busy.
Obviously, every time he appraises an antique, his professional and accurate answers are winning him the trust of more and more treasure appraisers.
"Lao Zhu, Lao Geng, and Xiao Dong, you three should put aside what you are doing and let's take a look at this painting together!"
Just when most of the morning had passed and the appraisal was almost coming to an end, Mr. Huo, who was sitting on the left edge, suddenly said in a high and cautious tone.
Upon hearing this, Liu Dong, who had just finished appraising a Ming Dynasty boxwood statue of Guanyin, immediately stood up and walked over. Zhu Hongjun and Geng Mingchang followed closely behind.
As a result, the three of them were stunned when they saw the horizontal axis landscape painting that was more than one meter long and about 60 centimeters wide in front of Mr. Huo!
"This is Tang Yin's "Picture of Jinshan Scenic Spots"?" Zhu Hongjun said in surprise.
"How can this be?"
Although Geng Mingchang was surprised, his face was more doubtful.
Among the three of them, only Liu Dong stared at the scroll on the table without saying a word.
As four people who specialize in antique appraisal and are fond of collecting, they are all familiar with the headless koan about Tang Yin's "Jinshan Scenic Spots" that was lost in the dust of history during the Republic of China period.
But it was precisely because they knew that when they saw this ancient painting, they were already 80% inclined to believe that it was a fake.
However, their rigor as appraisers did not allow them to make an immediate conclusion.
"Old Zhu, you are an expert in calligraphy and painting appraisal. Come and take a look at this painting!" With that said, Mr. Huo stood up and made way for Zhu Hongjun.
At this time, Mr. Zhu was not polite. After sitting down, he took out all his "guy things". When he put on his glasses, picked up a magnifying glass and began to study the calligraphy and painting inch by inch, he saw next to him
All three people fell silent.
Perhaps because this scene is rare, Gao Xin, the director of the treasure appraisal program, specially ordered the camera to be brought over.
However, the four people, who were mainly attracted by the paintings on the table at the moment, paid no attention to him. They didn't say much.
But as the time went on and the people in front were motionless, the treasure appraisers queuing up behind naturally became agitated. It was natural for them to make loud noises to vent their dissatisfaction due to their low quality.
However, in this closed space, the noise is extremely loud due to the obstruction of the surrounding walls. More importantly, the noise can distract people's energy and cause serious interference.
Therefore, Mr. Zhu, who couldn't bear it anymore, raised his eyebrows and raised his head with an angry look and said to Gao Xin beside him: "Director Gao, please invite all the irrelevant people out. The appraisal is over this morning. Let them come back in the afternoon.
"
"This... Mr. Zhu, it's only half past ten, isn't it too early to end it right away?" Gao Xin looked confused.
"There are still two days to come, why are you in a hurry! Come on, let them all go!" The old man waved his hand impatiently, and without waiting for a reply, he lowered his head again and immersed himself in the appraisal of the painting.
They did not say hello to Liu Dong and the others. Liu Dong and the others were not surprised by this. Anyone who really likes antique collection and appraisal will do so when they encounter particularly precious works of art, or works of art that they are not sure of.
This virtue.
