    "Hehe, lucky! Lucky!" Xiao Guo looked very proud. In their circle, he was the latest to enter the industry. Usually, everyone else has more or less valuable collections, especially at their age.  The eldest one, the last time they communicated, brought out an authentic piece from the Kangxi official kiln, worth millions.  This made Xiao Guo envious, and at the same time he imagined that he would have the opportunity to get a priceless weapon. Of course, with the little money he had, if he wanted to buy such a valuable weapon, he could only rely on picking up missing items.  .  In the antique market, people say every day that so-and-so has missed something, but the reality is that there are only a few who have picked something up, and the streets are full of people who have missed something. Although Xiao Guo is full of thoughts about picking up things, he also has a reputation for knowing himself.  The possibility of leakage is low.  However, as the old saying goes, you can't stop luck when it comes. What surprised Xiao Guo was that he didn't expect that he would encounter such a good thing when he returned to his hometown this time. How could he let it go?  ¡°And today I met my collector friend by chance, so Xiao Guo couldn¡¯t wait to take out the things, share the joy in his heart, and at the same time impress his friends.  "Hey!" At this moment, Xiao Guo's oldest Tibetan friend suddenly let out a light sigh.  "Brother Zhang, what's wrong?" Xiao Guo asked hurriedly.  "There seems to be a crack at the bottom of the jar!" Brother Zhang said, pointing to a place at the bottom of the jar.  Everyone came forward to take a look and found that it was exactly what Brother Zhang said. There was a crack of about three centimeters at the bottom of the jar, and there was some black liquid-like substance attached to half of the crack. They didn¡¯t know where it came from.  When Xiao Guo saw this, he said with some disapproval: "Hey! I have seen this a long time ago. It was precisely because of this crack that I returned the 300,000 yuan. Otherwise, it would have cost at least 500,000 yuan! And from this  Judging from the characteristics of the cracks, they are typical of the Yuan Dynasty artifacts from the porcelain capital area!" "That's right!" Brother Zhang nodded.  Then he said: "However, if this jar has this crack, its value will be reduced." Xiao Guo laughed and said: "After all, this crack is relatively small. Although it has some impact, no matter what, it will double my funds.  It should be possible!" "Xiao Guo, you are too small-minded. No matter what, you can't just make double the profit" The others laughed.  Chu Chen, who was standing next to him, shook his head secretly. This blue-glazed white dragon jar had already been lost to his grandma¡¯s house, so he still wanted to make money?  Of course, since we were not relatives, it was impossible for Chu Chen to say such offending words, so he stood up and prepared to leave.  However, these people were not so focused now. As soon as Chu Chen stood up, he caught their attention.  At the beginning.  Everyone was still wondering when there was a young man among them, but after a while, Brother Zhang suddenly showed a puzzled look on his face, and then he said with some hesitation: "Excuse me. Are you Teacher Chu Chenchu?" Chu  Chen smiled and nodded: "I am Chu Chen." "Oh! I didn't expect it was you!" Brother Zhang quickly stepped forward and shook hands with Chu Chen enthusiastically: "I read every issue of "Collection of the World", you  He is my favorite expert on this show!¡± Others present did not remember who Chu Chen was at first when they heard ¡°Collection of the World¡±.  Then I compared Chu Chen's appearance and then I thought of it.  Isn't this Chu Chen, the youngest in the show and very discerning!  So.  Chu Chen was about to say a few words of humility when others gathered around him and greeted Chu Chen enthusiastically.  After everyone chatted lively for a while, Xiao Guo rolled his eyes, and then said with a smile: "Teacher Chu, it's not easy to meet an expert like you. If it's convenient for you, can you help me take a look at mine?"  "As mentioned before, even if the items on the antique market are authentic, whether they have been authenticated by experts or not, the value of authentic items that have been authenticated by experts is often higher.  Now that he finally met Chu Chen, Xiao Guo must seize this opportunity.  Chu Chen saw that Xiao Guo's clothes looked very ordinary, and the 200,000 yuan was probably all his family's savings. This made him somewhat hesitant, but in this scene, he couldn't do it without talking about it, so after a while, he said:  "Then let me take a look first. I didn't look too carefully just now." "It should, it should!" Xiao Guo nodded repeatedly. He felt that Chu Chen's performance was the attitude that an expert should have. It can't be said that he didn't get started.  Can you tell the truth clearly?  Isn¡¯t that nonsense!  In fact, Chu Chen used his superpower to see through this blue-glazed white dragon jar before, but the appearance still needs to be sufficient.  Ten minutes passed like this? Then he said: "Let me say a few points first. If there is anything wrong, please correct me." Then, he pointed to the bottom of the jar and introduced: "First of all, as this gentleman just said  That way, the texture of the carcass, the shape of the foot ring, the knife marks on the base, and the burn marks on the base are all very authentic. I think there is nothing wrong with judging from the bottom of the jar. It is an authentic product from the Yuan Dynasty." Hearing this, Xiao Guo's face changed.  He smiled immediately, and his joy was beyond words.  However, Chu Chen's next introduction was a little difficult for him to accept.  "But I also noticed that there was a circle of transverse fractures near the bottom of the jar body. Obviously this fracture should be the connecting part of the body." Chu Chen said: "You must know that the porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty, especially  This kind of jars are all hand-drawn and molded. Since the 'Macang soil' used at that time had low plasticity, one utensil needs to be made in sections because the drawing process is on a high-speed rotating "wheel".  , moving from bottom to top, so the insertion site is usually at the waist, shoulder or shin of the object. This is an abnormal phenomenon. "Hearing this, everyone quickly looked at the bottom of the jar.  In the past, it was discovered that there was indeed a circle of less obvious seams. This immediately made Xiao Guo's face change, and the other people's brows also began to frown.  Chu Chen continued: "There are two colors of glaze on this jar. The background color is blue glaze, and the dragon pattern part is white glaze. Its ancient production process should be to first dip the prepared green body into a blue glaze.  Then carve the dragon pattern, then remove the blue glaze on the pattern and fill it with white glaze. " "But I noticed that the blue glaze on this pot is uneven in color, which is a common "dipping glaze".  This is a phenomenon that cannot occur with craftsmanship, and can only occur with "glaze blowing" or "glazing". In addition, the joint part of the bottom foot and body glaze is uneven and jagged, which also shows that it is not a "glaze dipping" process, otherwise it should be.  Smooth and flat ring-shaped traces. " "The bottom glaze of the porcelain capital of the Yuan Dynasty uses the "glaze dipping" process, not the "glaze coating" process, and the "glaze blowing" process.  It only appeared after the Qing Dynasty, and it is completely wrong to appear here. " Speaking of this, Chu Chen saw that Xiao Guo's face seemed to be green. Regarding this, he could only sigh secretly, and then  Said: "I also noticed that there were exposed parts of the bottle at the junction of the white glaze and the blue glaze. The exposed fetal bones were white, and the whiteness was extremely high, which formed a clear contrast with the color of the base. Obviously the body of the jar  It is a different kind of porcelain clay than the one used for the bottom of the jar. The bottom of the jar is made of Macang clay from the Yuan Dynasty, and the jar body is probably made of modern kaolin clay. " "In addition, there are cutting and polishing marks on the outer wall of the foot ring, I think this jar.  It should be a new work from Lao Di. " Chu Chen's explanation is reasonable, and the jar looks the same as what he said. In this case, there is really no possibility of this jar being brought back to life.  This made Brother Zhang and the others feel very uncomfortable, and they also expressed sympathy for Xiao Guo. After all, in this era, for ordinary people, two hundred thousand is really not a small amount.  It is very likely that the hopes of Xiao Guo¡¯s family are pinned on this blue-glazed white dragon jar.  But the reality was so cruel, and his hopes were dashed in an instant. This should be a big blow to Xiao Guo.  Just when Brother Zhang wanted to comfort Xiao Guo and said that if the family had difficulties because of this, they could help as much as they could.  Xiao Guo's reaction was extremely fierce. He snatched the jar from Chu Chen's hand, put it in the box, and left in a hurry.  As he walked, he said loudly: "What a bullshit expert! If your eyesight is not good, just don't say anything!" After all, they are Tibetan friends together, and Xiao Guo's performance made Brother Zhang and others somewhat embarrassed.  After a while, Brother Zhang said with a wry smile: "Teacher Chu, I'm really sorry. Xiao Guo is still young, and his family's conditions are relatively ordinary. I guess he can't accept this reality for a while. I hope you can forgive him. Wait a moment.  I will definitely bring him here to apologize to you! " "It doesn't matter. I am also a young man and I can understand his thoughts. Whoever it is would not feel better if he got such a big eye!" Chu Chen waved his hand.  , indicating that he doesn¡¯t mind.  Being young and with poor mental endurance, it is not surprising that he behaves like this.  "Teacher Chu, you are so magnanimous!" The young man in his mid-twenties gave Chu Chen a thumbs up, and then said: "Teacher Chu, can you tell me how the jar was made?  "Yes!" Chu Chen smiled and nodded: "The counterfeiter should first find the base of a Yuan Dynasty artifact, and then make a jar body according to the size of the foot ring.  The parts can shrink by the same proportion during the glaze firing process. The pot body before glazing needs to be fired until it becomes porcelain, and then the lower part of the pot body can be cut with a grinding wheel according to its diameter.The outer walls of the foot rings are matched with each other.  " "Since the entire object has been porcelain before glaze firing, only the "glaze blowing" or "glaze coating" process can be used.  And because the porcelain body loses water absorption, it is difficult to apply the glaze evenly, so the blue glaze on the jar is unevenly colored in one dark and light area" (To be continued, please  Search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
