The stipulated time for the party is seven o'clock in the evening. Of course, the party tonight is mainly to connect everyone's feelings. There is no hard and fast rule about the time. However, if the seniors are here, and you are still late, it will be a bit unjustifiable. . Seeing that the time was almost up, Chu Chen thought that no one would come again. Unexpectedly, just as he thought this, he saw a middle-aged man with a gentle appearance walking in with a smile on his face. Behind him was a man in his thirties. The young man was holding a brocade box in his hand. As soon as the middle-aged man came in, he bowed his hands to everyone: "I heard that the seniors are here to exchange their experiences today. I really can't help but come and listen. I hope you don't mind!" Uncle Wu, who was sitting next to Chu Chen, He quickly introduced to Chu Chen that this person was the organizer of this exchange meeting, Chai Pingle. At this time, I heard Yu Lao say with a smile: "Everyone here is a friend, Mr. Chai, you don't have to be so polite." Chai Pingle, as the organizer of this time, came to participate in an informal gathering. Push it out. Therefore, as soon as Yu Lao finished speaking, many people on the scene echoed and expressed their welcome. Although Chai Pingle was only responsible for the internal affairs of the company before, he is also a good person and knows a lot about antiques. Therefore, he became close to everyone in a short time. Seeing this situation, Chu Chen had to say "amazing". Most of the people present here are from the antique circle, or are related to the antique circle. After contacting each other, they began to chat about topics surrounding antiques, such as some gossip, market analysis, etc., which benefited Chu Chen a lot. . Finished chatting about surrounding topics. Everyone began to chat about some experiences in antique appraisal, although no one could speak out some of their unique skills. However, many of the experiences that require long-term observation have been very fruitful for everyone here. Especially Qi Baofu and Fang Jinbo, they are quite hungry. At the end of the exchange, Chai Pingle said with a smile: "Dear seniors, I got a square meter inkstone the day before yesterday. From the stone quality and other aspects, it looks very much like an authentic inkstone from the Song Dynasty. But after buying it back, I always feel that I have a question. Could you please help me, seniors?" "Oh?" Everyone heard that it is Mi Fu's inkstone. Everyone was interested. Mr. Xu had a bad temper and said directly: "It's all about talking and not practicing the fake moves. Since you said so, take the things out quickly! How can we know if it's true or false without seeing it with our own eyes?" Chai Pingle hugged him with a smile. After apologizing, he took out the brocade box from the hands of the young man who had just come in with him. After opening it, he took out a hand-made inkstone. Making a hand-made inkstone means hollowing out the bottom of the inkstone according to certain specifications. It forms a space with a low front and a high back. The front end is connected to the left edges on both sides, and the three sides form the inkstone feet, which are flat on the ground. Hands can reach in from the rear for easy handling. It is said that this form was created by Su Dongpo in the Song Dynasty. Because of its solemnity and practicality. It has been popular from generation to generation. Chai Pingle¡¯s square hand inkstone seems to be carved from the old pit stone according to the shape. It is upright and elegant, simple and elegant. An ancient poem is engraved on the back. Signed "Xiangyang Mifu", this inkstone looks deep in color. The patina is moist and has a strong ancient flavor. No matter how you look at it, it looks like a genuine product. Mr. Xu is an expert in antiques and miscellaneous items. After carefully looking at the hand-written Duan Inkstone, he said with a smile: "If this is really made by Mi Fu himself, then it is really a very rare treasure." Although Mi Fu He was a famous calligrapher and painter in the Northern Song Dynasty, but because he loved stones to the point of madness, he was called "Mi Dian" by people. Mi Fu and Su Dongpo were good friends. One time, Su Shi invited a guest. After three drinks, Mi Fu suddenly stood up and said to the host aggrievedly: "Everyone in the world calls me 'Mi Dian'. Today, I would like to ask Mr. Dongpo to be fair." So, am I a rebel or not?" Su Dongpo replied with a smile: "I follow the crowd." Suddenly the whole house burst into laughter. It turns out that these three characters come from "The Analects of Confucius? Zihan" and are the original words of Confucius. Su Shi implicitly hinted at Mi Fu: Look, even Master Kong has given you a verdict, who do you expect to "rehabilitate" you? Mi Fu¡¯s performance was indeed as his nickname suggests. He once brought a strange stone into his apartment to worship, and he dressed neatly and bowed to the stone, calling "Brother Stone" all the time. From this, we can also see how much Mi Fu loves strange stones. Of course, Mi Fu loves strange stones, and he has also made contributions in this regard. For example, the criteria for appreciating strange stones are "thin, transparent, leaky, and wrinkled", which was his first song. Precisely because Mi Fu loves stones so much, if this Fang Duan Inkstone is genuine, it is indeed as extraordinary as Mr. Xu said. When Chai Pingle heard what Mr. Xu said, he couldn't help but asked with some disappointment: "Mr. Xu??You mean, this Fang Duan Inkstone is a fake? Mr. Xu smiled and asked, "When did I say it was a fake?" " Chai Pingle was delighted when he heard this and asked quickly: "What do you mean? Mr. Xu gave Chai Pingle a calming gesture: "Why are you so anxious? There are so many people at the scene who haven't watched. What kind of communication is it if I say it?" " Chai Pingle gave a bitter smile. The thing belongs to him. Of course he is anxious to know the result, but today is mainly about communication. No matter how anxious he is, he can only wait. " Although there are many people sitting here, some of them are interested in the inkstone. I was not very good at appraisal, so I just looked at it with others. Therefore, more than half an hour later, the Fangzhao inkstone came back to Mr. Xu. Mr. Xu looked around and asked with a smile: "What do you think? How about Fang Inkstone? You young people, please talk first! " The young people Mr. Xu mentioned were those under forty years old. Together with Chu Chen, there were six of them. Except for Chu Chen who wanted to keep a low profile and newcomer Fang Jinbo, the remaining four looked around and were all silent. There is nothing I can do about it. The people present are all the top people in the antique circle. If I say something wrong, I will be embarrassed. ¡°You guys! All of them are cowards! "Xu Lao smiled and cursed, and then said: "Xiao Chu, you are the youngest here. You go ahead and speak first. Be bold. It doesn't matter if you are wrong. No one is born with the ability to identify. " His name was already called. Of course, Chu Chen couldn't shirk it, so he said: "Then I will say a few words. If there is anything wrong, please correct me. First of all" Having said this, he stepped forward, took the inkstone in his hand, explained it, and then said: "So, both in terms of the format and craftsmanship of the inkstone, it is in line with the characteristics of the Song Dynasty. In addition, there are The patina and old smell make this square inkstone really look like the real thing" "It looks very similar? Hearing this, Mr. Xu interrupted Chu Chen and asked: "Xiao Chu, do you mean that this is a fake?" " Chu Chen nodded and said: "That's true. Of course, if you insist on saying that it is a replica, it's okay. After all, it is very rare to make it so realistic. " At this time, Chai Pingle frowned and asked: "Teacher Chu, I would like to ask, why do you judge it to be a fake? " "Because of its inscription and signature. " Chu Chen explained: "The characteristics of Mi Fu's calligraphy are stable but not vulgar, dangerous but not strange, old but not dry, moist but not fat. The inscription on the square inkstone seems to have met these four requirements, but if you look closely, But it has no shape and no meaning. It is impossible for this to be the original work of Mi Fu. In addition, the same is true for signing. " After Chai Pingle heard what Chu Chen said, he looked left and right and felt that the word was no different from an authentic painting of Mi Fu in his home. He really didn't know whether Chu Chen was right or not. This is what Yu Laoxiao said. Then he said: "Mr. Chai, please stop reading. With your calligraphy and painting appraisal skills, you will definitely not be able to see the spirit contained in Mi Fu's calligraphy. " After hearing what Mr. Yu said, Chai Pingle could only smile bitterly. It seemed that his inkstone was indeed a fake. Mr. Xu was very satisfied with Chu Chen's answer and asked with a smile: "Xiao Chu, besides Apart from what you mentioned, what other discoveries have you made? " Chu Chen replied: "Apart from the inscription, the biggest flaw of this square inkstone is its material. " "Material? "Chai Pingle was a little puzzled by what he said to Chu Chen, because no matter how he looked at it, he felt that this square inkstone should be made from old pit materials. There should be no problem in this regard. Chu Chen nodded and said: " Although the material of this square inkstone looks like old pit material, it is actually a newly discovered inkstone in recent years called Shapu stone. " " Shapu stone? Chai Pingle was very surprised. He had never heard of Shapu Stone before. Yu Lao said: "Yes, the color of this stone is a bit similar to the stone in Laokeng or Mazikeng, and it has some of the characteristics of Laokeng." Stones unique to inkstones include fish brain jelly, banana leaf white, blue and white, and even stone eyes. If you don't observe and compare carefully, it is difficult to tell the authenticity from the fake. I was almost hit in the eye by using Shapu stone as a Laokeng inkstone in the past. " "Actually, this kind of Shapu stone is very good. Good stone can also be used to make an inkstone that has been handed down from generation to generation. Many inkstone masters also use this material and label them as new Hang Tsai inkstones. Everyone can accept them, and the price is quite high. But some people just like crooked ways and sell them as old traps. " "Yeah, I was tricked by Shapu Stone a few years ago! "A man in his mid-thirties said angrily: "Shapu material is good, and the color is very similar to Duanxi stone, so it is wrong to sell Shapu material to customers as pockmarks and pits in a certain place. piecesVery normal thing. I didn¡¯t know much about this material before. The Mazikeng and Kengziyan rocks I bought were all Shapu materials. I was defrauded of 500,000 to 600,000 yuan by those profiteers! "Some people may ask, in this case, why doesn't the man return the goods? In fact, the reason is very simple. Since they sell it openly, how can they not have any back-up? And once the money is in the hands of these profiteers, it will be extremely difficult to return the money. . ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? these? these? the? stones,? the? stones, the goods are in? this situation, they are short of money and they have no money, these people are just trying to prevaricate with nonsense such as that the material was collected from a new pit.
