Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Since the bottom surface of this seal has been worn away, will the seal on the seal surface still be engraved by Wu Changshuo?  Obviously the likelihood of this happening is very low.  ¡° Later, Chu Chen observed carefully and found that although the seal seemed to be fake, it was a little worse than the text on the side in terms of charm.  "Don't think it's just a problem with the seal. This alone has a huge impact on the value of the seal. And not only this, it's like superfluous. It's not as valuable as the seal if it's simply worn away.  As for whether Huang Shanyi suffered a loss, it depends on whether he knows about it. If he knows, he should not lose money.  But judging from his attitude of striving for perfection when buying things, Chu Chen felt that it was more likely that he didn't know.  When Chu Chen gave the seal to others to appreciate, Huang Shanyi smiled and asked: "Teacher Chu, what do you think of this seal?" Chu Chen said tactfully: "Needless to say, the material of the seal and the inscription on the side.  It's a pity that this seal has been polished before. "Polished?" Huang Shanyi was quite happy at first, but when he heard the next thing, he was a little stunned.  Others also heard this and hurriedly came over to take a look. Since the polishers were relatively advanced, they looked at it for a while before they realized that the printing surface had indeed been polished.  Then the question arises, did Wu Changshuo feel that the carving was not good, did he do it intentionally, or was it polished off by later generations?  Everyone thought about it and felt that the latter possibility was more likely. First of all, given the quality of this square field yellow, Wu Changshuo couldn't have carved it casually.  Moreover, judging from the date on the inscription, it was when Wu Changshuo carved this seal.  He is already a master of seal cutting, so he definitely cannot make such a mistake.  Needless to say, the result is that the current seals were probably re-engraved by later generations.  At this time, Jiang Jiachang asked: "Master Chu, is this seal inscribed again?" Chu Chen replied: "I think it should be inscribed later. Because the look of the seal is wrong. Let's compare it.  You can feel it from the inscriptions on the side. "Except for Ying Mingxin, who is not very accomplished in calligraphy and painting, everyone else can more or less see this.  Got the result.  Huang Shanyi looked a little unbelievable, but he couldn't believe it when the matter was put here. This made him somewhat depressed and said: "I really didn't pay attention to this matter. If I hadn't discovered it now, I probably would have been left dumb. However,  , I have never encountered this situation before. " Chu Chen said: "Actually, it is quite common for seals made by famous artists to have their seals worn away but the stamps still intact.  Some people will engrave what they want on the seal. In addition, there are some good people who make up the seal with the same seal as the original, which is very easy to be confused in the market.  "Zhao Qirui nodded and said: "I heard about this kind of thing many years ago. Someone got a pair of Qi Baishi's seals. Unfortunately, the seals were rubbed off, but the seals were really preserved. So, this person imitated them.  Qi Baishi¡¯s style was to engrave seals on the original stone and sell it to the cultural relics store. The cultural relics store failed to identify it and finally bought it as an authentic one.¡± After hearing what Chu Chen and Zhao Qirui said,  Huang Shanyi shook his head and sighed: "It's really hard to guard against this kind of thing. I accidentally caught it. However, I don't know who erased the original seal. It's such a waste of natural resources!" "This kind of thing is more common, right?  "Jiang Jiachang said: "Just like a friend of mine, he bought a Tianhuang seal at a relatively cheap price ten years ago. The button head was engraved with a phoenix and the side part was inscribed with 'Wen Zuo'.  Two characters. This seal is not very regular, and the name on the seal is a name he has never heard of. " "Moreover, the word "Wen Zuo" in the margin is similar to the name of Shangguan Zhou, a famous painter in the Qing Dynasty.  , but I learned from others that the character used by Shangguan Zhou was "Wen Zuo", and I had never seen him use Wen Zuo, so I thought it might be a seal owned by an ordinary scholar and not of much value, so my friend made it himself.  "The seal was ground into a square shape, and the seal was also worn away, leaving only the edge." "The year before last, I happened to be visiting his home with a seal appraisal expert, so he took out the square seal.  When he came out and wanted to identify the quality of the stone, the expert asked him why he wanted to grind off part of the button head. He said that the button head was carved with a phoenix and the carving craftsmanship was superb. It should be the work of everyone. It was a pity that it was worn away like this. " "So,  My friend told me the reason. The expert was very regretful after hearing this. He said that the descendants of Shangguan Zhou compiled his historical records and introduced that Shangguan Zhou was named Wenzuo, and he also wrote Zuo. He also said that Shangguan Zhou had many times.  When he was making a seal, he signed "Wen Zuo". The two characters "Wen Zuo" on the margin of my friend's seal are the same as those recorded in historical materials. It should be?This is a seal made by Shangguan Zhou for his friend.  " "My friend regretted hearing this. Fortunately, he left the word 'Wen Zuo' on the side note as a way of comforting himself" Chu Chen has heard of many of the examples Jiang Jiachang mentioned.  , and many people regret it. In fact, there are three aspects to collecting seals, namely: material, engraving, and text (including seal and inscription). If one of these three aspects is good, there will be a certain collection.  value; if both or three are good, the better. In addition, when collecting old seals, the important thing is not to wear off the seals and edges easily, because no matter what, it is always better to collect them authentically.  If the seal is worn away, in addition to destroying the integrity of the seal, the historical value shown on it will also be lost. Jiang Jiachang continued: "Except for the seal, everything else about this seal is relatively perfect. The big deal.  Mr. Huang, you can also erase the seal and re-engrave it with the content you like.  As long as the person doing it is highly skilled, the overall aspect should not be affected much.  "    "never mind.  " Huang Shanyi shook his head and said with a smile: "Actually, I grabbed this seal when I was a guest at a friend's place a few days ago and thought it was good" When he said this, he saw the housekeeper come in and whispered to him  Huang Shanyi gave a few instructions to the housekeeper, and then said to everyone: "Cao Cao is really here. My friend is here now.  Ever since I snatched his seal, he has been trying every means to get it back. If he knew there was something wrong with this seal, he wouldn't know how depressed he would be.  " After discovering that this was the case, everyone also lamented Huang Shanyi's good luck. As for his friend's depression, that's for sure. Whoever found out that there was something wrong with something he loved would not be in a good mood. During the chat, Huang Shanyi's  The friend hurriedly walked in. This man was about the same age and figure as the celebrity named Zeng in Xiangjiang. After Huang Shanyi's introduction, Chu Chen learned that his name was He Lihang. In fact, He Lihang, Jiang Jiachang and Ying Mingxin were also there.  We all know each other. After all, just like in Beijing, the antique circle is not big. In addition, the area of ??Haojing is relatively small. Generally speaking, everyone with the same name is familiar with it. After a few words, He Lihang saw the seal on the table.  , his eyes seemed to be shining, and then he ran to the table in three or two steps, grabbed the seal, and then, as if he were treating a loved one, gently rubbed his face on the seal, and looked  Everyone didn¡¯t know what to say. After a while, when He Lihang didn¡¯t stop, Huang Shanyi said with a bit of laughter: ¡°I said, Lao He, it¡¯s just a seal, you don¡¯t have to be so exaggerated, right?  " He Lihang didn't care about this: "This feeling is incomprehensible to a collector like you who aims at investment.  " Having said this, he finally came to his senses: "Hey, you are a little strange today. I have been calling you for the past two days, but you just don't agree to return the seal to me. Why are you so confident that I can get it today?  In?  Seeing that He Lihang had such deep feelings for this seal, Huang Shanyi didn't know whether he should tell him about the problem with the seal. Seeing that Huang Shanyi seemed a little hesitant, He Lihang felt strange, but he didn't think much about it, let alone  I thought there was something wrong with his seal. Then, he put the seal away carefully, then took out a box he brought and opened it and said, "Here, I brought you several seals this time.  Most of them were carved by famous artists in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Take a look and think of it as a ransom for this seal.  " While talking, Chu Chen and the others looked into the suitcase and saw a lot of seals inside, and they were made of various materials, including copper seals, wood seals, stone seals, jade seals, etc., and they were also in various shapes.  , there are animal-shaped seals, follow-up seals, square seals, round seals, etc. Huang Shanyi looked very curious and picked up a beast-shaped seal. This seal was made of copper, with mottled surfaces and green copper embroidery spots in parts.  , with a strong ancient meaning. The Yin Niu is an auspicious animal, with its chest held high, its eyes wide open, its ears swung back, its beard curled, its mouth tightly closed, and its expression solemn and solemn.  Upturned, the whole body is decorated with strips of geometric patterns using staggered silver techniques. The style is simple and elegant. Huang Shanyi thought this square seal was very good, so he asked: "What seal is this?"  " He Lihang said with a smile: "This is the one-yuan seal that I finally found for you.  ¡± What is ¡°charging¡±? Charging, also known as ¡°charging¡±, ¡°monogram¡±, ¡°signing¡±, etc., refers to signing or drawing some kind of mark on an official document or contract as a sign of trust. Seal is a kind of  A unique seal form, which is different from the jade seals, cast seals and mud seals of the Qin and Han Dynasties, and also different fromThe main difference between the seals of the literati school after the Qing Dynasty and them lies in the different characters on the seals.  During the Qin and Han dynasties and the Ming and Qing dynasties, the main printed characters were seal scripts. In the Yuan Dynasty, apart from seal cutting by literati represented by Zhao Mengfu and others, the popular regular script scripts were mainly used for printing.  "Choose for me?" Huang Shanyi looked a little surprised after hearing this.  He Lihang said: "Of course, you will know just by looking at the seal." (To be continued)
