    After that, the three of them chatted for a while, and Chu Chen took out the harvest from Longxi and gave it to the master for safekeeping.  Of course, the glow-in-the-dark cup and gifts for family members are definitely not among them.  After admiring it, Mr. Liu smiled and said: "Achen, you are really blessed with good studies. Every time you go far away, good things will be delivered to your door. If this keeps up, you will be able to open a museum before long." Chu Chen laughed.  He smiled and said: "Master, I accept your auspicious words. If I have more collections in the future, I will open a museum according to your wishes." Mr. Liu said happily: "Okay! Okay, I will wait for your museum to open.  "I won't keep you waiting any longer!" With that said, Chu Chen pushed the white jade Buddha in front of Mr. Liu and said, "Master, this is for you. I wish you a long life."  As you wish!" Mr. Liu was stunned and asked: "Achen, why did you think of giving me a gift?" Chu Chen said with a smile: "Don't you always like to write calligraphy? I think this brush wash is very interesting.  "Yes, I can add some spice to your writing. I wonder if you like it?" "I like this thing very much. Anyway, you are a rich man, so I won't do it, master." As he said this, Mr. Liu picked up the pen and washed it happily.  Start playing around.  At this time, Liu Qinshu stretched out her hand and asked: "Achen, where is my gift?" Chu Chen chuckled and said: "Sister Shu, your gift is being checked in, so I have to trouble you to wait for a few days!" Liu Qinshu said happily  : "Okay! Then I'll give you a few days" After lunch, Chu Chen read at Mr. Liu's place for a few more hours. After that, he was tested by Mr. Liu for a while and then left.  After walking around in his villa, Chu Chen contacted Zhao Qirui.  I drove to his company.  Led by his secretary, Chu Chen came to Zhao Qirui¡¯s office.  However, besides Zhao Qirui, there was also a middle-aged man with a big belly in the office. At this time.  The two of them were sitting in front of the sofa, arguing about something in front of a Dehua white porcelain Guanyin statue on the coffee table.  As soon as Zhao Qirui saw Chu Chen coming in, he quickly waved to him and said, "Achen, come and take a look. Is this statue of a civil servant real?" But the middle-aged man glanced at Chu Chen, frowned and said, "  "Old Zhao. Is this young man the expert you are talking about?" Zhao Qirui said with a somewhat unhappy expression, "Why, my nephew is young, but is he not an expert?"  My nephew is a close disciple of Mr. Liu, and he is very good at it!¡± The middle-aged man¡¯s face became much better when he heard that Chu Chen was a close disciple of Mr. Liu.  But he reacted immediately and said in surprise: "Wait! Old Zhao, you said this is your nephew? The one from your sister's family?" Zhao Qirui said: "Nonsense, besides the one from my sister's family, where else can I have a nephew?  " After hearing this, the middle-aged man looked at Chu Chen carefully and said: "It looks like it. After so many years, I thought I couldn't find it!" Zhao Qirui laughed and said: "This is called Tianwu.  The Road to Absolute Talent, Achen, let me introduce to you. This is my friend since childhood, Zuo Lei. You can just call him Uncle Zuo. He even hugged you when you were a child. " Chu Chen greeted you respectfully!  Zuo Lei said hello: "Hello, Uncle Zuo!" Zuo Lei smiled and exchanged greetings with Chu Chen, and then said: "Xiao Chen, I heard from your uncle. Your ability to appraise antiques is very good, please trouble you.  Help me take a look at this Guanyin statue by He Chaozong. "He Chaozong?" Chu Chen was stunned for a moment when he heard that the Guanyin statue in front of him was actually the work of He Chaozong.  ??For those who are familiar with Dehua white porcelain, the name He Chaozong can be said to be like thunder.  He was the master craftsman of Dehua white porcelain during the Jiajing and Wanli years of the Ming Dynasty.  Most of his works feature Buddhist figures such as Bodhidharma, Guanyin, and Arhat. He is known as the first person in religious sculpture art. His works were hard to find at the time.  " However, He Chaozong attaches great importance to the artistry of his works. If they are not mature works, they will never be fired easily, so there are few of his handed down works.  It is said that there are only more than a hundred genuine pieces in the world, but there is still no accurate figure as to the specific number.  Even Mr. Liu had only one statue of Bodhidharma. Now there was a statue of Guanyin of He Chaozong in front of him. How could Chu Chen not be excited?  "Yes, it's He Chaozong's Guanyin statue." Zhao Qirui said: "But I think this Guanyin statue is not the work of He Chaozong. It doesn't feel that old-fashioned." Zuo Lei scoffed and said: "If you say it's not old-fashioned, it's not old-fashioned.  Say it again??Other than that, can you give any evidence that this is a fake?  " Zhao Qirui sneered and said: "I can't tell you, but my antiques for so many years are not in vain!  Let¡¯s not argue, Achen will know if it¡¯s true or false after seeing it!  "    "OK!  If it is true then, let me see what you say!  " While the two were arguing, Chu Chen carefully picked up the Guanyin statue on the coffee table and observed it carefully. This time Chu Chen did not use his powers. Even Bao Jue had him turn off the power. This was because he felt that the old  It was to turn on the treasure sleeper, which was helpful for picking up leaks and identification, but it also cost him some opportunities to exercise his eyesight. And he happened to find that the treasure sleeper could be turned off after the power was upgraded, so he decided to do so.  Unless he intends to pick something up, Baojue will be closed for the rest of the time. He Chaozong's works place great emphasis on the portrayal of characters' expressions. He often places characters in specific environments to express themes.  At the same time, he also absorbed the strengths of sculptures of the past dynasties, especially the painting style of the Tang Dynasty that expressed Buddhist statues, making the statues of Guanyin and Bodhidharma have the charm of the Tang Dynasty. The images are dignified, solemn, approachable, and rich.  The statue of Guanyin in front of you has the creative style of He Chaozong. Guanyin has a kind and dignified face, and the pleats of her clothes are simple and flowing, clear and natural. At first glance, it seems that this statue has a complex and beautiful shape, which combines the pleats that Dehua Kiln is good at.  The realistic technique is used vividly. The glaze color of this statue looks like ivory white, and the texture of the body is relatively delicate and white. The glaze surface is thick, which is very similar to the carefully selected porcelain clay and glaze used by He Chaozong. In addition, there is something behind the Guanyin statue.  The gourd-shaped seal script "He Chaozong" does not look particularly clear, which is also the same as the identification of the authentic Dehua porcelain. Whether it is a masterpiece cannot be determined based on the seal.  The seals of Ming and Qing porcelain carving masters have a certain format. Therefore, you must be familiar with the seal formats of different masters. Moreover, the seals of real masters often appear blurry. If you encounter a work with a special format and very clear seal, then  It needs to be treated with caution. After looking at several characteristics, this Guanyin statue is very similar to He Chaozong's work. But then Chu Chen shined the Guanyin statue into the light, and the authenticity of this statue was immediately revealed.  Chen breathed a sigh of relief and put the Guanyin statue back on the coffee table. Seeing this, Zuo Lei quickly asked: "Xiao Chen, how is this Guanyin statue?"  " Chu Chen shook his head slightly and said, "I can't tell what's going on!  "    "ah!  " Zuo Lei was shocked when he heard this. And Zhao Qirui laughed and said: "What, I said it was a fake!  " "It's impossible to be fake.  "Chu Chen shook his head and said. "What should I say?  "When the two of them heard what Chu Chen said, they both asked in unison. "Then let me talk about my views.  "Chu Chen said: "Actually, there is a little trick to identify Dehua porcelain. We know that Dehua porcelain is divided into early and late periods. We use Kangxi as the boundary. Dehua white porcelain before Kangxi, if it is greeted during the day,  When viewed through light, pink appears inside and outside its body.  " "If it is made after Kangxi, the inside and outside of the womb will reveal bluish white when viewed through light. It is worth noting that all ancient Dehua white porcelain, regardless of its thickness, should be transparent when viewed under light or light. If it is opaque,  It's a fake.  This is an important basis for determining the authenticity of Dehua porcelain.  " Having said this, Chu Chen carefully picked up the Guanyin statue on the table, let the two of them look at it in the light, and said: "Look, the inside of this Guanyin statue is bluish-white, and it is transparent.  " After seeing it, Zuo Lei frowned and asked: "In other words, this is a high imitation of the Qing Dynasty!  " Chu Chen nodded and said: "I think it should be like this. In addition to what I just said, regarding the characteristics of the Dehua porcelain glaze, generally the glaze in the early Ming Dynasty is white and slightly red, like a baby's face.  In the mid-Ming Dynasty, the glazed surface was white with a slight tint of yellow, just like the teeth of an adult African elephant, with a tint of yellow.  " "As for the glaze from the late Ming Dynasty to the early Qing Dynasty, it is white and slightly tooth-white, just like the appearance of lard when it solidifies.  After Kangxi, the glaze began to turn white, and some glaze collection areas appeared bluish white.  If you look at the glaze area of ??this Guanyin statue, although the author has handled it well, you can still see that it is slightly bluish-white.  "Hearing this, Zhao Qirui asked: "Then could this thing be a modern imitation?  Hearing this, Zuo Lei glared angrily and said: "You guys, you are really adding insult to injury. This is no longer the real thing. You still say it is a modern imitation. What are you thinking about!"  ¡±  Seeing that the two were quarreling again, Chu Chen quickly said: "This should be an old imitation from the Qing Dynasty. If it is a modern imitation, it usually uses a new process of grouting and one-time molding. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties,  , The green body is demoulded and generally decomposed into three parts: head, body and base, and each part is cut into two front and rear pieces respectively. " "Because it is made by molding, the height is generally more than ten centimeters, except for those with a height of more than ten centimeters.  The head, hands and other parts are inserted outside after the mold is closed. The inner bottom should be hollow and have obvious connection marks. If it is found that the inside is hollow and the bottom is sealed flat or small holes are opened after being flattened, it must be a modern injection molding.  Imitation of pulp molding.¡±
