    Things were done and it was noon. Since it was troublesome for Huang Shanyi, it was appropriate to invite him to a meal, and Huang Shanyi happily agreed.  Afterwards, everyone walked out of the office and prepared to go to the restaurant.  At this time, Huang Shanyi saw a brocade box in Ying Mingxin's hand and asked, "Mr. Ying, what you are holding is the high imitation you mentioned, right?" When Ying Mingxin nodded to confirm,  He continued: "Can you give me some insights later?" Of course, Ying Mingxin would not disagree with this, so the group of people walked to the private room of the restaurant, and after ordering, Ying Mingxin  Things were taken out.  Huang Shanyi was a little surprised at first when he saw that it turned out to be an exquisite and unusual blue and white jar with a cover depicting the Tiger and the Stream from Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty. After he looked at the blue and white jar, he asked in disbelief: "Is this really a fake?  Seeing Huang Shanyi look at him, Chu Chen explained the flaw again, and then Huang Shanyi completely believed it.  However, what Chu Chen didn't know was that his explanation not only made Huang Shanyi believe in his judgment, but also made Huang Shanyi look at him with admiration. Of course, because they only knew him for a short time, it would be difficult for Huang Shanyi to completely believe him for the time being.  Less than.  Huang Shanyi¡¯s attention returned to the porcelain in front of him. He remembered that Ying Mingxin had said before that this kind of porcelain had been discovered several times before. When he thought about the porcelain collection at home, he couldn¡¯t help but feel worried.  "With such superb imitation technology, I won't be able to master it, right?" Huang Shanyi thought, feeling very uneasy when he saw Chu Chen.  He thought of a simple and effective solution, although he didn't know what Chu Chen's overall appraisal level was.  But there must have been special research on this kind of porcelain, and it was this kind of porcelain that he was worried about now.  Just ask Chu Chen to help identify it.  So, he quickly asked with a smile: "Teacher Chu, I wonder if I can ask you a favor?" When Huang Shanyi asked, Chu Chen knew what kind of favor he wanted to ask him, and he agreed to it.  It's nothing, but this afternoon he originally wanted to appraise Jiang Jiachang's porcelain from the sea, should he postpone it to tomorrow?  Seeing that Chu Chen seemed a little hesitant, Huang Shanyi said quickly: "Teacher Chu, I'm not in a hurry. You can go after you're done." At this time, Jiang Jiachang smiled and said that he was not in a hurry. The reason why he said this was,  It was also for Chu Chen's sake. Favors are the hardest thing to repay. Chu Chen just owed Huang Shanyi a favor, and it was undoubtedly the best choice to pay it back immediately.  Moreover, his porcelain from the sea will not break if left there, so why not do it if it is convenient for Chu Chen?  Since Jiang Jiachang said so.  Chu Chen agreed to the matter.  Huang Shanyi was very happy about this and expressed his gratitude.  After enjoying a sumptuous lunch, everyone took a car to Huang Shanyi¡¯s mansion.  The area here is larger than Chu Chen's villa.  The layout and decoration of the courtyard are all in Chinese style, and the same is true for the interior decoration.  Huang Shanyi is quite hospitable. He first invited everyone to drink tea for a while.  After chatting for a while, he stood up.  He took everyone to a room next to the study.  Chu Chen saw several cabinets such as antique shelves placed in the room, with many antiques and artworks placed on them.  Among them, porcelain accounts for the largest proportion, with about twenty or thirty pieces.  Although the number is not large, they all look like high-quality products and national treasures. Everyone can't help but salivate after seeing them.  Regarding everyone's reaction, Huang Shanyi also felt a little proud. He said with a smile: "My collection philosophy is to rather lack than to overfill. I would rather spend more money to buy a rare antique. Even if it is not a complete item, I will not buy low-end items."  Zhao Qirui nodded in agreement: "I quite agree with this. When we buy antiques, we should buy high-quality cultural relics with artistic value." Ying Mingxin asked: "Can't we buy lower-grade antiques?" "It's not that we can't buy them.  , but it depends on what you are buying it for.¡± Zhao Qirui said: ¡°If it is for hobbies and research, then it is definitely okay to buy low-end antiques. If it is for collection and investment, it is better to buy high-quality antiques.  It¡¯s better, not to mention the rapid appreciation, because it¡¯s more popular and easier to sell. For more details, it¡¯s self-evident who the professionals are.  Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Chu Chen said with a smile: "Actually, when buying collections, it is generally best to meet the three criteria of 'authenticity, fineness, and wonder'. Reality refers to genuine products, and fineness refers to fine antiques, which means historical value and artistic value.  Relatively high-end antiques are rare because they are rare. This is the law of market transactions. Between those that exist in large quantities and those that are rare, the rare ones should be bought first. ¡±   "In addition to these three points, when we buy antiques, it is best to choose antiques with strong usability from the past to the present" Ying Mingxin asked curiously: "What are antiques with strong usability from the past to the present?" Chu Chen said: "Those are the ones.  Ancient works of art that are wearable, playable, suitable for display and decoration, and can be hung for viewing. For example, jade pendants and jade plaques that can be worn for decoration are of higher value than jade items such as jade belt hooks. ¡±  Nodding to express understanding, Chu Chen continued: "In our antique jargon, 'porcelain is not worth a penny if it has lint,' 'porcelain has burrs on its edges, and is not worth half a penny.' 'If you want it, just accept it intact.' This is also a common concept among everyone."  However, this is also a relative term, otherwise there would be no saying that "even if you have a fortune, it is not as good as a piece of Jun porcelain." "In our antique market, famous porcelain with first-class appearance is limited in quantity and expensive.  Those high-grade, slightly damaged porcelains are rare, and even severely damaged 'fine porcelain' and high-end porcelain specimens have become high-priced and sought-after items on the market. A low-end complete Republic of China porcelain is not as good as a piece of high-end porcelain.  "This also shows that people have a high awareness of artistic value. Therefore, when buying antiques, we should put artistic standards first among low-end complete objects and high-end residual objects.  You should give priority to buying exquisite remnants. For example, a high-end remnant is like a piece of dragon scale, and a low-end remnant is like a pig. Everyone should know which one to choose, right?¡± Hearing this, everyone chuckled a few times and said to Chu.  Chen¡¯s analysis is also relatively acceptable.  Of course, they are all wealthy people, so they would only buy residual equipment when they have no other choice.  Next, Chu Chen helped identify the porcelain, while Huang Shanyi led others to appreciate his collection and introduced relevant data and stories from time to time. Everyone listened with interest.  In fact, when Huang Shanyi bought these porcelains, famous experts helped to appraise them, and there were more than one. Therefore, the possibility of making mistakes was very low. He asked Chu Chen to appraise them just for peace of mind. After all, he spent so much money, and in his heart  If you have any doubts, you must clarify them, otherwise you will feel uncomfortable holding them in your heart.  After carefully appreciating each piece, Chu Chen found that there were no fakes among them, but he felt that the trip was worthwhile when he could see so many precious porcelains at once.  Seeing Chu Chen coming over, Huang Shanyi quickly asked nervously: "How is it?" Chu Chen smiled and shook his head: "I think they should all be genuine." Huang Shanyi was also very happy after hearing Chu Chen's answer.  He quickly expressed his gratitude to Chu Chen.  Chu Chen waved his hand, indicating that it was just a matter of effort. At this moment, he saw a Tianhuang seal placed on the ancient shelf in front of him. This seal looked pure and rich in color, yellow with red, and as clear as ice.  , vaguely exudes the aura of a king, and in terms of material, it is a rare and good seal.  It was rare to see a Tianhuang seal made of such excellent material. Chu Chen was also a little happy. He pointed at the seal and asked, "Mr. Huang, can I appreciate this seal?" Huang Shanyi followed Chu Chen's gaze.  He walked over and said with a smile that it was no problem.  Chu Chen stepped forward and carefully took the seal into his hand. The seal was in the shape of a regular square, slender and exquisite, with perfect proportions.  The lines in the stone are clear and the silk is like brocade. Because it is completely raw and has no workmanship, it shows the spiritual quality of its texture.  There is an inscription engraved on one side of the plain wall, with the seal of "Changshuo Wu Jun" at the end of the book.  In addition, the inscription on the seal surface is the four characters "Jiji Xiaozhu" in seal script.  Seeing that Chu Chen was very interested in Fang Tianhuang's seal, others gathered around. When they saw the signature, they were all a little surprised. They didn't expect that this was the seal carved by Wu Changshuo.  Wu Changshuo was a famous painter, calligrapher, and seal engraver in the late Qing Dynasty. He was an outstanding representative of the "Houhai School" and was known as the "Four Masters of the Shanghai School in the Late Qing Dynasty" along with Ren Bonian, Pu Hua, and Xu Gu.  His seal script and Shigu script were first influenced by Deng Shiru, Zhao Zhiqian and others, and he later integrated and adapted them when writing "Shigu".  His seal cutting often shows the characteristics of majestic yet charming, clumsy yet simple, ugly yet beautiful, ancient and modern, changing and righteous.  Taking Ding and Yi from the top and Qin and Han from the bottom, they creatively used the "obtuse angle" carving knife to combine the cutting and punching techniques of Qian Song and Wu Rangzhi to seal seals.  His seal cutting works can show vigor in beautiful places, magnolia in smooth places, and skill in inadvertently.  His works are also highly sought after by the world.  Chu Chen couldn¡¯t put it down at first, and had an urge to buy it. However, when he carefully looked around the seal surface, he found that there seemed to be signs of wear and tear, which made him a little confused.  Many new Shoushan stone collectors will do this. When an old seal comes into their hands, they will rub off the engraving on it, because it is not their name after all.It doesn't make any sense.  In fact, if you really get an ancient seal, it is best not to rub off the seal and edges easily to avoid regrets later.  Of course, in addition to the fact that it is not their own name, some people may wear off the seal and engrave the content they want because they don't like the content on it. But this is the seal engraved by Wu Changshuo, so why bother to wear it off?  Woolen cloth?  Moreover, this also raises another question (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!?¡­
