"I know some of the reasons for this." Guan Guokang said: "My master and Zhang Huoni were still familiar with each other at the beginning. My master said that Zhang Huoni actually didn't take profit too seriously. He made those fakes. In fact, it's all because of interest. ""If it's not for profit, then it's for fame?" Chu Chen asked. Guan Guokang nodded: "Yes, Zhang Huoni likes others to praise his works, but he is not very good at dealing with people. His personality is like what we call a nerd, so he added " His logo was used to attract others' attention. Later, he found that this method worked very well, so he continued to put his logo on every piece of his work. " Chu Chen nodded clearly. , but he was still a little strange: "Then why do Zhang Huoni's descendants still abide by this rule?" "I'm not sure about this. Maybe Zhang Huoni has some rules?" Guan Guokang replied. Chu Chen thought about it. Just like many people still abide by the rules passed down by their ancestors, Zhang Huoni may have had some inheritance. "Old Qian, I wonder how you are going to deal with this?" Guan Guokang asked. Mr. Qian said helplessly: "What else can we do? Let's do it step by step. Mr. Liu must have started investigating the source of this matter. We can only organize people to investigate the relevant collections in our association first." It's clear." Guan Guokang frowned and said, "Old Qian, this is a bit too grand, and the business will definitely be affected." "No way!" Mr. Qian shook his head and said, "There will indeed be some losses in the short term. , but compared with the depression of the entire industry, everyone must know what is more serious. Fortunately, Zhang Huoni is only interested in high-end porcelain. If someone ignores the overall situation, it will be smaller. I can say I'm sorry." "In fact, doing this is also an offending thing. As the saying goes, killing someone's wealth is like killing their parents. It is estimated that Qian, young and old, will not use some thunderous methods. However, for the sake of the entire industry, Mr. Qian no longer cares about his own reputation. He has to get this done no matter what. For this. Chu Chen still admired him very much. "Okay, I strongly support this matter, and I will obey your arrangements as an old man." Guan Guokang nodded. Mr. Qian chuckled, and then said to Chu Chen: "Xiao Chu, I wonder if you can lend me this glazed red jar for a few days. After all, there is no basis for what you say. With this thing of yours, I can get more "Persuasiveness." Chu Chen quickly said: "Mr. Qian, you can take the things. After all, I am a member of the industry. I should do what I can. If there is anything I can do to help, please Just tell me." Qian Lao said happily: "Xiao Chu, your eyesight is so good, you will be able to help me when the time comes." Since then, Chu Chen has been following the expert group formed by the association. Wander among various antique markets in Beijing. The results of the investigation also made Mr. Qian and the others happy but worried. The good news is that most of them have nothing to do with high imitations of Zhang Huo Ni, but the worry is that two of them are imitations with the "Huo Ni" logo. Among them, one is a Yuan blue and white fish and algae pattern small jar, and the other is a Qing Kangxi enamel figure amphora. Both of these are valuable treasures. The total loss is estimated to be nearly 20 million. When the owners of the things learned that they were fakes, they all turned pale with shock. Chu Chen couldn't bear to look at that miserable look. But apart from these two unhappy things, Chu Chen felt that his life these days was very nourishing. Not only did he see many coveted porcelains, which made him hooked, but he also learned many things from books. No identification experience. Of course, there is only a young man like Chu Chen in the expert group. No matter how low-key he behaves, he still attracts the attention of others. Of course, at first, when everyone heard that Chu Chen was Mr. Liu¡¯s disciple, they just thought he was here to gain some experience. However, as his solid basic skills and his amazing eyesight gradually revealed to everyone, In front of him, this contempt gradually turned into admiration. Finally, everyone admired him because he identified a Qianlong famille rose nine-peach celestial sphere vase from the Qing Dynasty that looked very fake. That was the last day of appraisal by the expert group. After a morning of appraisal, basically all the treasures had been appraised. However, when it was time to eat, another senior collector brought a Qing Dynasty Qianlong pastel nine peach celestial sphere vase. In fact, in addition to having an impact on some antique businesses, appraisal activities like this one also have a negative impact on antique shop owners and senior collectors.That said, it is also a rare opportunity. You must know that none of the members of the expert team are mediocre. Except for Chu Chen, they are all renowned masters of appraisal. If you can get their approval for hiding the weapon, the value of the hidden weapon will also double. Because of this, although some people were reluctant at first, but attracted by the general trend and the benefits, they still gave up their concerns and took out the treasures in their stores or collections. Originally, the owner of the Qianlong Pastel Nine Peach Celestial Ball Vase from the Qing Dynasty liked to keep a low profile, so he did not want to take out the pastel vase. However, under the persuasion of an old friend, after thinking for a long time, he decided to take out the pastel vase. The colored vase was taken out for expert appraisal, because after a long period of research and appreciation, a question lingered in his heart for a while. During the appraisal process over the past few days, Chu Chen was the first to handle every item. There was actually a reason for this. Because he was afraid that if there was a very realistic fake and these old-timers couldn't see the weirdness in it and took it as real, then he would be in a dilemma. The antiques industry is very particular about connections. If you can¡¯t even do basic human sophistication, then don¡¯t even think about making a name for yourself in this industry. If Chu Chen overturns these old-timers' conclusions when they think the things are genuine, it will not only show that he is powerful, but also slap these old-timers in the face. In doing so, let alone saying that he is paying attention to connections. In the antique world, even in the workplace, there are only four words that can be sent to him: "unreachable". This is also the fundamental reason why Chu Chen insists on doing every appraisal for the first time. Although doing so may easily lead to being regarded as a standout, it is still better than being disliked by the seniors. After the collector brought the pastel nine-peach celestial sphere vase to the table, Chu Chen began to appreciate it seriously. The celestial ball vase is a kind of large-scale porcelain used for palace display. It is a porcelain shape deeply influenced by West Asian culture. It began in the Yongle and Xuande years of the Ming Dynasty. It looks like a celestial ball, so it is called the celestial ball vase. During the Yongzheng and Qianlong dynasties of the Qing Dynasty, the antique style was prevalent, and Hongli loved precious porcelain and elegant vessels. Therefore, celestial vases began to become popular again. The celestial sphere vase in front of you has a white body, a glaze as pink and moist as snow, and the glaze is integrated into one body. The repair is extremely regular. Using pink, green, white, brown and other colors, use the boneless painting method to draw a peach tree and a rose on the bottle body with alternate shades and clear layers and a rich three-dimensional effect. The peach trunks are strong and strong, with 9 flat peaches on the branches. The fruits are full and the branches and leaves are lush. Next to the tree are roses, light and pretty. The bottom of the bottle has the six-character inscription "Made in the Qianlong Year of the Qing Dynasty" in blue and white seal script. Pastels are also called "soft colors" and are a variety of overglaze colored porcelain. The so-called overglaze painting is to paint on the glaze of the fired plain ware, and then bake it in the kiln at a temperature of 600 to 900 degrees Celsius. The general method of painting pastel porcelain is to first draw the outline of the pattern on white porcelain fired at high temperature, then use arsenic-containing glass white as a base, and then apply the pigment on this layer of glass white, and use a clean pen to lightly paint the pastel porcelain. Gently wash out the colors according to different shades, so that the petals and the characters' clothes have a sense of light and dark. Due to the opacification effect of arsenic, the glass white has an opaque feeling. When combined with various colors, it will produce a powdering effect. The red color will turn into pink, the green color will turn into light green, the yellow color will turn into light yellow, and other colors It also turns into an opaque light tone, and the amount of it can be controlled to obtain a series of tones of different shades, giving people a pink and soft feeling, so this kind of overglaze color is called "pastel color". In the expression technique of pastel, it progresses from flat filling to light and dark washing and dyeing. In terms of style, its layout and brushwork have the characteristics of traditional Chinese paintings. Since the Qianlong reign, pastels have almost completely replaced five colors in the field of colored porcelain. Although the quality of pastels at this time was not as beautiful and elegant as that of the Yongzheng period, the decorative techniques became increasingly complicated, the shapes were rich and diverse, and the modeling techniques were even more refined, whether it was large display porcelain with a height of more than one meter, or small Rings and snuff bottles ranging from a few centimeters to several centimeters are all very regular in shape and rarely appear to be flattened or crooked. What¡¯s more worth mentioning is that the novel and exquisite carved porcelain was created during the Qianlong period. Various types of carved bottles include revolving neck vases, revolving heart vases, Jiaotai vases, set vases, crown frames, and various revolving foot bowls. The variety of expressions is unmatched by other eras. At first glance, this celestial sphere vase gave Chu Chen a very good feeling. The texture of the vase was very fine and moist, the glaze was firm, as smooth as fat and jade, smooth and flawless, and the mouth and bottom of the vessel were also covered with turquoise. Green glaze. This kind of turquoise green glaze has a unique feature of Qianlong pastels. The turquoise green glaze is very light and smooth, and the glaze surface is like porridge skin. Because it is a low-temperature colored glaze, the glaze surface often has small flakes. This feature first appeared during the Qianlong period and continued to be used until the late Qing Dynasty. In addition, the pastel color of this celestial sphere bottleIt is used very well, accurately showing the color and texture of the object it is imitating, which can be described as lifelike.
