    When Chu Chen said this, Wu Ke interrupted with a smile: "Achen, what you said is wrong. I once heard the teacher who taught me Guqin say that the reason why the Republic of China or some of the traditional crafts  When making guqin, broken lines appear because the gray tire they used is not good. They use tile ash, so of course there will be broken lines. ¡± Tile ash can be found everywhere, and it is used in combination with raw lacquer.  The gray tire is entirely due to production cost issues, so many folk Guqins are made with this gray tire.  Especially after the Ming Dynasty, tile ash appeared more and more, and it was even more common in the Qing Dynasty. Its characteristic is that the sound is easy to loosen, and the paint ash is easy to fall off, so collectors do not like this kind of piano.  Chu Chen laughed and said: "What you said is indeed true, but what I mean is that the causes of broken lines are complicated, mostly related to the paint tire processing during the production process and the later storage environment, so we should analyze it in detail and not mention it at once  The turtle pattern is said to be very old. You have to know that some of the broken patterns on some ancient guqins are still fake. " "Is the pattern broken or fake?" Wu Ke found it incredible when he heard about it.  Chu Chen smiled and said: "As long as there is benefit, of course someone will find a way. Moreover, forging broken patterns has already happened in ancient times. There are many ways, such as baking with fierce fire, and then using ice and snow to stir it up.  Make it crack; or use egg white to soak into the ash to paint, steam it in a retort, and then air-dry it; or use gypsum to make the ash base and bake it, etc. Some people even use a knife to carve it. " "However, it is like appraising antiques.  The same, fake ones are fake. There is still a big difference between real and fake broken grains upon careful observation. The tail of real broken grains disappears naturally and the peaks of the grains are like sword blades; while the fake broken grains are catalyzed by cold and heat or with a knife.  The process of engraving and waiting will inevitably be unnatural and have flaws." Hearing Chu Chen's explanation.  Wu Ke quickly stepped forward to observe and found that the lines on it were probably not caused by humans. This made her very excited and said: "Achen, these lines should be formed naturally. Then when was this Guqin made?  "It shouldn't be too short, right?" Chu Chen nodded: "Short is not short, but it is not easy to judge the specific production time of this piano based on the pattern. Generally speaking, although the turtle pattern is the most valuable, according to the  According to records, it was only formed in ancient times, but it is not clear how old it is. " "That's it!" Wu Ke looked a little disappointed when she heard this. She looked at the surface of the piano again and found that there were still holes on both sides.  The other patterns were broken, and the spirit was lifted again.  Pointing at the pattern, he asked: "Achen, is this a niu-hair break?" "Yes, this is indeed a ox-hair break, but it was only formed in the Middle Ages. In fact, the oldest pattern break should be this one!" said  Then, Chu Chen pointed at a broken pattern on the head of the piano.  Wu Ke could see that the shape of this pattern was round and clustered like plum blossom petals.  He said in surprise: "This is the plum blossom break." Chu Chen nodded and said: "Yes, it is the plum blossom break. Generally speaking, the plum blossom break is the oldest in its formation. Ancient books say that the plum blossom break will not grow for thousands of years, so this  When the guqin was made, it must have been at least a thousand years old." Wu Ke looked a little excited and said: "That means that this guqin must have been made in the Northern Song Dynasty at the latest, and it was probably a Tang qin.  !" Chu Chen said with a smile: "It's certainly possible to say it's Tang Qin, but why do you have to think it's Tang Qin?" "Aren't you talking nonsense? Tang Qin is valuable!" Wu Ke said matter-of-factly.  The ancients often talked about a person¡¯s talent and cultivation through qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, and qin is the first of the four arts and the first of the eight tones of traditional Chinese music.  Because of the cultural status given to the guqin by the ancients, although the collection of guqin is now only considered a niche, the price is not low.  Not to mention Tang Qin or Song Qin, as early as 1998, an imperial Dongtian Xianlaiqin made in the Ming Dynasty was estimated to be as high as 1.2 million to 1.5 million, which shows the value of a good Guqin.  As for the Tang Qin, Chu Chen had really never heard of it until now, but he felt that if it was a Guqin with good sound quality and a certain reputation, the price would definitely not be cheap.  Chu Chen was indeed right about this. A year later, in 2003, a piece of Wang Shixiang's old Tang Dynasty "Great Sage's Sound" guqin was auctioned for 8.91 million yuan.  A world record for auctions, when this "Great Sage's Legacy" piano appeared again after nine years, the price increased nearly 12 times.  ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT OUT OF THE WORLD, an imperial qin from the Northern Song Dynasty, the "Song Shi Jian Yi" qin, set a world record for musical instruments at auction.  At that time, Chu Chen also discussed this matter with his friends. Everyone felt that the price of more than 100 million was still a relatively cheap price.  Why do you say that?  You must know that this and the "Song Shi Jian Yi" Qin were the imperial Qins of Emperor Huizong of the Northern Song Dynasty. Compared with the market situation of Chinese calligraphy and painting at that time, Qi Baishi's calligraphy and paintings could already be sold for 400 million yuan. Zeng Gong, one of the eight great masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties, was  A small piece"Bureau Affairs Notes",.  Do you think the value of a piece of calligraphy written by Zeng Gong can be compared with a piece of Qin used by the emperor at that time?  So from this point of view, everyone thinks that the price of Guqin is still cheap.  As for the auction record, everyone disagrees with it. If the piano in front of Chu Chen now appears on the auction market,  Of course, this is something for later, let¡¯s not mention it for now.  After hearing what Wu Ke said, Chu Chen smiled and said: "You are really a little money fan!" "I am a money fan, you have an opinion!" Wu Ke made a face at Chu Chen.  Chu Chen smiled and said: "Of course I have no objection. The higher its value, the happier I will be. However, why do you only regard it as Tang Qin? Can't it last longer?" "Still?  How long will it take?" Wu Ke looked a little surprised and said: "You mean, is this piano made in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, or the two Jin Dynasties? As for the two Han and Three Kingdoms, it should be impossible. How can any wood be preserved?  A long time? Besides, the wood that has been stored for such a long time will definitely become loose. How can this piano be so heavy?" As she said this, she weighed the weight of the piano and found that it was indeed not light, and then knocked on the surface of the piano.  , and found that from the sound point of view, there was no feeling of crispness at all. This not only made her think that this piano could not be made further than the Tang Dynasty, but she even had some doubts about whether it was a piano from the Tang Dynasty.  Chu Chen said: "Judging from the material of this piano, it does not look like it was very old, but the materials in ancient times were more abundant than ours at this time. Who knows how they processed it. Maybe the makers at that time found a way to  What¡¯s a way to preserve the piano for a long time?¡± (To be continued)
