Chapter 193: Concealing the Sky and Crossing the Sea (Part 2)
"Qin Feng, do you think this is not an ancient jade handed down from ancient times? I think it is very beautiful. Dad takes it with him to play with it every day..."
Unlike others who focused on Mr. Qi, Wei Hanfei had no interest in the 70-year-old man. Her attention had always been on Qin Feng.
In addition, she and Qin Feng were standing together, so even if Qin Feng spoke in a low voice, Wei Hanfei heard it. She is a straightforward girl, and she didn't understand, so she naturally asked on the spot.
Although the tea room is not small, there are only two or three people talking all the time. As soon as Wei Hanfei made a sound, everyone immediately looked at her and Qin Feng.
"Hey, why doesn't this girl understand human nature at all?"
Hearing Wei Hanfei's questioning, Qin Feng couldn't help but cry bitterly in his heart, but he didn't know that Wei Hanfei had grown up abroad since he was a child, and he always spoke straightforwardly.
"Hey, Qin Feng, are you a student majoring in cultural relic identification and restoration at Peking University?"
Hearing his daughter's words, Wei Hua couldn't help but be startled. He just asked Li Ran casually and knew that this major was newly opened this year, which means that all students in this major are just freshmen.
If he were an old student who had studied in this major for several years, Wei Hua might care about Qin Feng's opinion, but it had only been a month since he had entered school, and even a talented person would not be able to master some of the skills in cultural relic appraisal.
Qin Feng nodded and said honestly: "Yes, I just listened to Teacher Qi's class a few days ago. Teacher Qi's class was very helpful to me."
"Qin Feng, I think you should study piano. Learning antique appraisal is a bit unqualified. This can't be learned in a day or two..."
Wei Hua accompanied his daughter to many concerts by famous artists around the world. He could tell that Qin Feng was very talented in piano playing, even better than his daughter, who had studied piano for more than ten years.
Learning to appreciate cultural relics requires a long process of accumulating knowledge and experience. It does not mean that you can identify fakes just by seeing a few real objects.
The nature of this industry is similar to that of traditional Chinese medicine. The older you get, the more popular it becomes. If nothing else, even if you randomly pull an old man from the street to sit with Qin Feng to participate in an on-site treasure appraisal meeting, no one will be willing to give him an item.
Qin Feng went to identify it.
Therefore, Wei Hua's words were indeed out of good intentions to remind Qin Feng that instead of hanging around in the antiques industry, he felt that Qin Feng had a better future in music.
Before Qin Feng could speak, Mr. Qi said: "Xiao Wei, do you know how many people have applied for the cultural relic identification and restoration major at Beijing University this year?"
"I don't know." Wei Hua shook his head. How many people from Beijing University study this major? What does it have to do with him?
"Only eight in total!"
Mr. Qi said with some disappointment: "This also shows that after we old antiques are gone, there will be fewer and fewer people to fill our vacancies."
After a pause, Qi Gong said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "There are only eight of us, and you want Xiao Qin to change his major. I asked you, are you deliberately angry with me, the old man?"
"How dare I, Mr. Qi, please don't be angry. You are a national treasure. I can't explain to the country if I'm so angry."
When Wei Hua heard this, he quickly looked like he was begging for mercy. He knew that the old man in front of him was open-minded and could joke around. If he talked to him seriously, the old man would not like it.
"What national treasure? This guy, don't take yourself too seriously..."
The old gentleman curled his lips, pointed to his head, and said: "I am not as tall as the sky, and my mind is not as broad as the earth. I am just an old man who has half of his body buried in the earth."
Qi Gong's words made everyone in the venue laugh. From these words, they could all hear the old man's broad mind. Think about it in relation to themselves, isn't it... they sometimes take themselves too seriously?
.
Qi Gong waved to Qin Feng and said: "Young man, come... tell me, why do you say that this jade is not an ancient jade handed down from ancient times? This habit of making judgments before you get started is not good!"
Although he was criticizing Qin Feng, the old man handed over the toy in his hand. In the circle, he was always known for his gentle temper and his love of supporting younger generations. Even if Qin Feng put forward opinions that were contrary to his own, the old man still smiled.
of.
As soon as Mr. Qi finished speaking, Li Ran also said: "Qin Feng, you haven't been in class for a few days and you haven't been taught by a teacher. If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense."
Li Ran knew that the teacher had strict professional requirements, and was afraid that Qin Feng's random comments would make the teacher angry, so he winked at Qin Feng while talking.
"Brother Ran, it's okay to look at it, right?"
Qin Feng raised his eyebrows. If Li Ran hadn't said this, he might have admitted that he was talking nonsense and put the matter aside, but Li Ran's words involved his teacher, which made Qin Feng not to take it seriously.
stand up.
Qin Feng has always believed that if the master is willing to join the world, based on what he has learned, his achievements will be much higher than the old man in front of him.
But the fact before him was that one was a master respected by thousands of people, and the other was an unknown old man who died alone in a mountain village. Therefore, in front of Mr. Qi, Qin Feng also had some thoughts of vindicating his master.
What's more important is that this "ancient jade" was made by Qin Feng. I'm afraid no one in the world knows the mystery inside it better than him.
Rubbing the toy with his fingers, Qin Feng felt an extremely familiar feeling in his heart. This piece of jade was just carved by him a few months ago, and it seemed to have his body temperature on it.
"Huh? Xiao Qin, tell me quickly."
Qi Gong's eyes lit up when he saw the movement of Qin Feng's fingers across the jade, because only Pan Yu's experienced hands could make this movement so natural.
Moreover, Qi Gong had always felt that there was something wrong with this piece of jade, but he couldn't see any flaws, but now he wanted to hear Qin Feng's opinion.
"Teacher Qi, this jade is indeed an ancient jade, but it is not a heirloom jade!"
Qin Feng opened his mouth and everyone was stunned. Everyone present was an expert. This jade has thick paste and natural color. Judging from its appearance, it has been played with for at least one or two hundred times. How could it not be a heirloom jade?
Only Mr. Qi's face showed a thoughtful expression. After thinking for a moment, he said: "Xiao Qin, do you mean Lao Yu Xin Gong?"
"Old jade and new workmanship" is a jargon in the antique world.
You must know that ancient jade is extremely valuable and can cost tens of thousands, so the business of antique jade has been booming with the peaceful and prosperous times since the Song Dynasty. The use of old jade to imitate old jade is the most difficult to identify among antique jade.
In the Song Dynasty, scraps from Han jade were used to imitate Han jade. Most of the connoisseurs' mistakes or mistakes were related to the techniques of old jade and new workmanship. This phenomenon has been going on for nearly a thousand years.
After hearing the conversation between Qin Feng and Mr. Qi, Wei Hua frowned and said, "Xiao Qin, but there is nothing wrong with the jade pattern on this piece of jade?"
Wei Hua is an expert in jade appreciation. He knows that the easiest way to identify old and new jade is to start with the jade pattern.
The jade pattern was formed by the magma flow of jade millions of years ago or even at the same time as the earth. It is layer by layer with very clear edges.
Generally speaking, from the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties to the Ming and Qing dynasties, jade with pure texture was used, and jade materials with natural jade patterns were almost not used. When making jade, they must be removed first. On this toy piece, there is no jade.
There is such a problem.
"The old jade I'm talking about refers to the reprocessing of finished jade."
Qin Feng shook his head and said: "This toy piece should be a damaged ancient jade, which was made into the shape of the reclining Buddha after being skillfully processed...
Mr. Wei, the jade pattern you just mentioned is correct, but the order of old jade, old workman and laoqin is wrong. A jade article should have this jade material first, then the jade workmanship, and then the Qin Sheng, right?"
Before Wei Hua could answer, Qin Feng pointed at the ancient jade and continued: "This jade is different. From this place, you should be able to see the cross-section of the jade and the clear color. I just discovered it...
"
Qin Feng naturally knew that the things were made by himself. The flaw was only the size of a pinhole, and it was hidden deep in the hollow inner wall. Even the pickiest appraiser would find it difficult to see it.
This piece of ancient jade was originally a relief toy piece with a flying dancing girl on the surface. It has a very unique shape. If it is in good condition, its value will be much higher than the current piece of jade.
It's just that it has been buried underground for too long. This jade seems to have come into contact with more than one mineral, causing a large number of black spots to appear on the front. In some places, it has penetrated very deep. Even if it is polished, it cannot reveal its original appearance.
coming.
The reason why ancient jade is rare and precious is that some of the bright colors appear in places where they should not appear. However, except for the center part of this jade, the quality of the surrounding jade is very good.
After thinking for a long time, Qin Feng decided to give the jade a secondary processing, which is very common in the antique industry.
It's just like some people cut some jade pieces of poor quality into pieces and cut them into jade pendants. Originally, they could only be sold for a thousand or eight hundred dollars, but after being divided, the value immediately increased a hundred times a thousand times.
Qin Feng used this technique. He used exquisite carving techniques to completely hollow out the area destroyed by Qinse, making it look like a reclining Buddha. However, at this time, the paste of the jade was destroyed.
Qin Feng really put a lot of effort into this. He asked Xie Xuan to buy a calf for more than 6,000, made a hole in the thick skin of the cow's butt, put the ancient jade in, and then asked Li Tianyuan to rush in when he had nothing to do.
Walking in the yard with the cow.
After more than a month of this, the new workers' positions were already as thick and thick as if they were from another world. This was also a unique secret method taught to Qin Feng by Zai Shi. The effect of the patina produced by this method was enough to be worth it in one year.
A thousand years ago.
In addition, the material of this jade is ancient jade. If Qin Feng didn't tell it, I'm afraid no one would be able to see his concealment method. It makes sense that Mr. Qi can't see it.
of.
"**, I'm such a mean-mouthed person. I've never seen a faker expose his tricks in public."
Explaining the fakeness of this piece of jade, Qin Feng couldn't help but have a ridiculous feeling in his mind. Other counterfeiters would try their best to cover it up, but he was afraid that everyone wouldn't be able to tell that this was an old piece of jade that was newly made. Objects. (To be continued.
