    Chu Chen and others walked into the gymnasium from the side door. Although it was only 7:50 at this time, seeing so many collectors, everyone would not stick to the rules at this time. The host directly announced today's treasure appraisal.  The event officially begins.  "Hula", the treasure holders holding various things in their hands quickly ran towards the experts. Thanks to the broadcast of last night's program, a long queue quickly formed in front of Chu Chen.  The first treasure holder on stage was a young man of about thirty years old. He held a bronze Buddha statue and placed it in front of Chu Chen. He said, "Teacher Chu, please take a look and see if there is anything hidden in this Buddha statue of mine."  What kind of treasure are you carrying? " Chu Chen was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood that this person should have attended the event yesterday afternoon, but his behavior still made him dumbfounded. Although Wang Xiangong said jokingly last night  , in the future, someone will definitely pay special attention to the utensils in the Duzhongtang, so he really didn't expect that one would appear today.  Chu Chen said into the microphone: "Sir, I'm sorry, I only appraise porcelain and jade. Your Buddha statue is made of bronze. Please go to Teacher Yu's place for appraisal, okay?" Seeing what Chu Chen said,  The man looked back at Yu Renpeng's long queue, and immediately said with a sad face: "Teacher Chu, you see it's not easy for me to queue up, so just do it for me and help me identify it!" "Hey! Before you get in line,  Why don¡¯t you first check what category you¡¯re appraising? Why don¡¯t we continue to appraise it if you¡¯re taking so long to do it?¡± ¡°Yes! Yes! Your time is precious, isn¡¯t our time  ¡­¡± For a while, the people behind started talking, blaming the young man.  Chu Chen saw the look on the young man's face that was about to become angry, and said quickly: "Okay, okay! I'll help you take a look" The young man brought a gilt bronze Buddha statue in the style of the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, but  As soon as Chu Chen took it in his hand, he immediately felt that the Buddha statue was lighter. After carefully looking at a few details, he found that it was just a modern fake.  Chu Chen looked up at the treasure holder and asked: "Sir, can you introduce the origin of this Buddha statue?" The young man quickly said: "I bought this in the antique market." Chu Chen heard him say this  Xin, muttering secretly, couldn¡¯t he have bought it yesterday afternoon?  But even if he bought it yesterday afternoon, he couldn't care about it, so he asked: "I would like to ask, how much did you spend on this Buddha statue?" "The man who sold it to me said that he was from the countryside.  The old man's house asked for 50,000 yuan, but I paid 2,000 yuan. "Mr. Chu, is there something wrong?" Chu Chen was speechless for a while, and then said, "Sir, do you know if this person  The Buddha statue is really from the Xuande period. It is worth at least three million." The young man immediately understood what Chu Chen meant and hesitated: "Is it possible that this is a Qing Dynasty imitation?" Chu Chen shook his head.  He said: "This Buddha statue of yours is machine-made and chemically aged." "Ah! Why?" the young man asked with some distress.  "Let me talk about a few points!" Chu Chen explained: "First of all, the copper used in ancient Buddhist statues is relatively pure and heavy, especially the thickness of the cast objects. Imitation gold and bronze Buddha statues generally have impure copper and are light in weight. Use  Alloy material. Your Buddha statue is relatively light and cannot reach the weight of ancient bronze Buddha statues. " "Secondly, ancient Buddha statues were placed on Buddhist altars for worship, and have endured the fire and sun of the world for a long time, especially those gilded with gold.  The surface of the bronze statue is dark, and the light reflected back by the sun is very dazzling. ¡°And because the Buddha statue has been enshrined and fumigated for a long time, the smell of fireworks can be clearly smelled.  It has been buried underground for a long time, and you can smell mold and decay. But your Buddha statue smells of chemical corrosion, which proves that it is a modern imitation." "Finally, let's talk about it.  In terms of craftsmanship, due to the limitations of ancient production techniques, the cast Buddha statue must be processed with meticulous sculpture techniques, and the processing marks on the expression, clothing, and base are clearly visible. However, the surface of your Buddha statue has very regular processing marks.  It should be polished using modern mechanisms." Having said this, Chu Chen concluded: "So, your Buddha statue is probably a modern fake. I hope you will pay attention to it when you go to the antique market in the future.  One point, even if this kind of Buddha statue is a genuine replica, you can't buy it for two thousand yuan. In addition, I would like to say that the situation like yesterday was relatively rare, and it is generally difficult to encounter it"  "Thank you, Teacher Chu. I will pay attention to it in the future." The young man said to Chu Chen?The reply was very satisfactory. After thanking him, he took the things and left. As for whether Chu Chen's reminder had been remembered in his heart, only he knew.  Next, Chu Chen started to get busy, because many of the people who came today are collectors who really like collecting antiques. Even if they are not satisfied with the appraisal results, they can basically listen patiently to Chu Chen¡¯s explanation. In this way, the speed  Not to mention the speed, it was also very easy for Chu Chen and others to identify it.  And because Chu Chen and others are very strict, even if they are not sure, they will ask other experts to help determine. Therefore, from yesterday to now, basically there is no wrong identification of anything. This also makes some people who want to fish in troubled waters simply cannot  There is no opportunity to hide the truth.  In this way, as time went by, it was already 10:50 in the morning, and today's treasure appraisal activity came to an end. Although there were still many people outside who wanted to come in, due to the control of the staff, the venue was still excluded.  There are not many people left.  Suddenly, Guan Guokang, who was appraising the porcelain, said to Chu Chen: "Everyone, can you put down the things in your hands and help me look at these two things" Everyone was slightly stunned. Guan Guokang is a very experienced veteran in the antiques industry.  , except for a few fakes made by "Zhang Huoni" that stumped him, there were really few pieces of porcelain that he couldn't identify. This made everyone curious and quickly stood up and walked over.  .  The two things Guan Guokang mentioned are the blue and white unicorn-patterned platters from the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, and the blue and white tangled branches pattern jars from the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty.  The large blue and white plate has a rhombus-shaped mouth, a shallow arc belly, and a circle foot.  The heart of the plate is painted with a unicorn pattern. The unicorn, together with the phoenix, turtle and dragon, are called the four spirits and represent auspiciousness.  Decorated with a wave pattern around it.  The shallow arc of the abdomen is painted with peony patterns, which is rich and delicate.  The edge of the mouth is still a circle of sea water waves.  The shape of this vessel is dignified, upright, petite and exquisite, which is different from other plum vases with plump shoulders and narrow feet.  The shoulders and foot walls are painted with banana leaf patterns, and the belly is painted with four lotus flowers. The foot is stepped and concave. The double circle has double lines of regular script "Made in the Xuande Year of the Ming Dynasty". ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ? ? ??????? ?? ?? ¡° It is already rare to see one such artifact. Now that two have appeared, most experts are shocked.  "Old Wang, what do you think of these two things?" As mentioned before, among the on-site experts, the ones who are more proficient in porcelain include Guan Guokang himself, Wang Xiangong and Chu Chen, and Yu Renpeng has also done research on this.  , because Wang Xiangong was sitting next to him and had already seen the plum vase and was carefully observing the market, so Guan Guokang first asked Wang Xiangong's opinion.  Wang Xiangong put down the twenty-fold magnifying glass in his hand, then frowned slightly and said: "Most of the bases of Xuande plates and bowls have edges, and the inner walls of the bases are chipped outward from top to bottom, so they cannot be used with hands.  But the inner wall of the bottom of this large plate is vertical, and the ridge of the foot is rounded like the back of a loach. This situation should be a characteristic of Yongzheng's imitation of Xuande.  The body and glaze look the same as the blue and white porcelain of the Xuande period, and the performance of the blue and white is also in line with the characteristics of Subo mud green. I am a little confused about this situation." Guan Guokang nodded, which was one of the reasons for his hesitation.  , although the fact that the base is different is already a big flaw, for this reason alone, this market cannot be sentenced to death. At most, it can only be said to be a suspected imitation.  "What about this plum vase?" Wang Xiangong replied: "I don't see anything wrong with the plum vase, but I always feel that something is wrong. Of course, this is just a personal idea." Guan Guokang frowned  , not only did Wang Xiangong have a bad feeling, he also felt that there was something wrong with this plum vase, but he couldn't find a reason why it was wrong. In this case, he was just making it at "Zhang Huoni"  I've encountered several fakes.  This made him wonder whether these two items were also the works of Zhang Huoni.  "Teacher Guan, these two pieces of porcelain were given to me by one of my business partners against my account. After I got them, I also showed them to several experts and teachers from our Shimen. Most people said that these two pieces are genuine. Only  Sun  , judging from his dress and behavior, this person should also be a successful person.  Sure enough, the staff next to him quickly introduced: "Mr. Niu is a member of our Shimen Collection Association and the chairman of XX Group." Guan Guokang nodded, and then asked: "Mr. Niu, are you still presumptuous?"In a word, I wonder how much your two items cost?  "The value of two treasures like this is definitely not low, but if the value of the original owner's mortgage is low, it would be a bit doubtful. "Five million RMB!  " Hearing this, Guan Guokang frowned again, and then said. "If the thing is real, it is worth the money.  "
