    Chu Chen often saw situations like what Yan Lao said in the market. The stalls of these vendors were very simple. There were several plastic baskets on a piece of plastic sheet, in which were placed oblong, olive-shaped, pale fruits.  Brown fruits, and another basket contains smooth, textured and polished oval pendants. Of course, the Buddhist music being played is indispensable.  ¡Ñ As Mr. Yan said, the price of a bunch of Bodhi seeds is generally not very expensive, and while these vendors are busy polishing them, they continue to introduce consumers to the "eye-opening" products that can be purchased for a few yuan to dozens of yuan.  "Pearls" (actually small pearls, turquoise, garnet, etc.).  Like Yan Lao's bracelet, in addition to Bodhi seeds, there are also a few turquoise stones. The overall look is indeed pretty, but the real value Chu Chen said euphemistically: "A Bodhi seed bracelet like this  It's okay to wear it on a daily basis." Mr. Yan immediately understood the meaning of Chu Chen's words. He said, "You mean, this bodhi seed is actually worthless?" Chu Chen said, "  When we discuss whether it is worth money, we must first know what this bodhi seed is." Yan Lao asked: "Then what is this? Isn't it a bodhi seed?" Chu Chen shook his head and replied: "Those on the market.  The products commonly known as "Bodhi seeds" can be said to be confusing, and the variety is dazzling. However, the so-called "Bodhi seeds" that I know of have more than 30 varieties. The common ones are Thousand-Eyed Bodhi, Phoenix Eye Bodhi, Rudraksha, and Longan.  "But in fact, these so-called 'Bodhi seeds' sold on the market are not produced from the Bodhi tree, but are a collective name for the fruits of many common tree species." "Ah!" Hua Lao looked very surprised after hearing Chu Chen's explanation.  He quickly asked: "In that case, why do these people call it 'Bodhi Seed'?" Chu Chen smiled: "Of course it is to attract attention, and this name caters to the cultural and aesthetic needs of some collectors.  If there is a gimmick, it will be easier to sell. " "Since it is a fruit, it should be very cheap, right?" Mr. Yan is more concerned about the price.  Chu Chen nodded and said: "It's indeed cheap. Let's talk about Thousand-Eyed Bodhi, the lowest-priced variety. You can buy a pound for a few dozen yuan. However, because there are so many people making it, they sell it cheaper, so the actual sales  The profit is not considerable. Therefore, merchants often make money not by the bracelet itself, but by matching the beads. Of course, no one can tell whether the gems are genuine or fake, so the profit is naturally huge.  Where are the beads on this bracelet?" Mr. Yan asked quickly. As Chu Chen said, the beads on the entire bracelet are the most valuable. If there is something wrong with the beads, he will lose money.  It's only a few hundred dollars more, but no matter who encounters him, he won't feel comfortable.  Chu Chen said with a smile: "I want to congratulate you on this. The two turquoise stones on your bracelet are not only genuine, but also of outstanding quality. Not only did you not lose money, you also made a profit." "Ah!" After hearing this result,  Mr. Yan couldn't help being a little dumbfounded. After a while, he quickly asked: "How much are these two turquoises worth?" Chu Chen thought for a while.  Said: "The factors related to the price of turquoise include many factors, each of which has a certain impact on the price, the most important of which include the color, texture and size of turquoise. But just the color of turquoise includes blue  Color turquoise, light blue turquoise, blue-green turquoise, green turquoise, foam, etc. "The best quality ones are blue or dark blue like your two turquoises.  According to the texture, it is also divided into transparent turquoise, block turquoise and wire turquoise. Among them, the more opaque or slightly transparent, the better the quality, and the higher the price. ¡± ¡°There is also a distinction based on gloss.  It is glossy. Of course, the higher the gloss, the better. Based on the above conditions, the international gem industry divides turquoise into four grades, from grade one to grade four, of which grade one is the best.  These two turquoises are first-grade. Although they are not small, they are worth several thousand yuan in total." Hearing the result, Mr. Yan was extremely surprised. Mr. Hua smiled and said: "Old Yan, you are lucky.  It's so good that you can get such good things even if you buy a bracelet. Next time I go shopping, I have to take you with me." Mr. Yan laughed and said, "I asked you to bring it with you when I went shopping.  I, you old guy, have always refused, and now I won¡¯t go if you ask me.¡± Mr. Hua puffed his beard and said with a glare: ¡°How dare you! Besides, I¡¯m doing this for your own good, even though you are a professor in the history department.  , but antiques are not something you can play with if you are good at history. If you don't believe it, show the jade you bought to Director Chu. " Mr. Yan said with a smile, "Just take a look.  Maybe I'm lucky and the result is not as bad as you said"  With that said, he carefully took out a jade Huang from the box and placed it in front of Chu Chen.  This jade huang has a brownish-yellow color all over its body, and its edges are carved into an undulating wavy shape.  The left and right ends are perforated, and both sides are decorated with drum nail patterns, arranged evenly and neatly.  The whole vessel has a unique shape, fine production and regular decoration.  After Chu Chen observed it carefully, he said: "The carving of this jade is really good" "Well, I was right!" Mr. Yan laughed triumphantly.  Old God Hua said calmly: "What's the rush? Director Chu hasn't finished speaking yet. Continue listening." Chu Chen smiled slightly and asked: "Mr. Yan, when you bought it, it was based on the jade of the Zhou Dynasty.  Did Huang Lai buy it? " "Yes, isn't it?" Mr. Yan looked a little nervous again.  Chu Chen shook his head: "This is indeed not the shape of a jade huang from the Zhou Dynasty. It looks a bit like an imitation from the Ming and Qing dynasties. But the color on it is wrong, and the craftsmanship should have only appeared in recent years, so it should be a modern piece."  "Imitation." Mr. Hua pointed at Mr. Yan with his finger: "Look, I told you to be careful when buying things, but you didn't listen." Mr. Yan glared at him: "You old guy.  , I think you are a little gloating!" Mr. Hua said helplessly: "Look, I have wronged someone again, I am doing this for your own good!" "It's weird for me to believe you!  Said in disbelief.  At this time, Chu Chen said with a smile: "Actually, the material of this jade Huang is quite good, and the color on it can also be removed. Mr. Yan, you can take care of it after you go back, whether you play with it or collect it.  " Mr. Yan didn't expect that there would be a bright and beautiful scene, and he seemed very excited and excited. He quickly asked Chu Chen how to remove Qinse, and Chu Chen also explained it in detail.  Hua Lao shook his head and laughed. My old friend is really lucky. Not to mention the accidental leakage, and the eye-opening, there is not much loss, to be honest.  He was really envious.  After Chu Chen took care of it, Mr. Hua carefully took out the item he wanted to identify, but it was a small blue-glazed bowl.  Mr. Hua carefully placed the bowl in front of Chu Chen and said: "Director Chu, this is a small blue-glazed dragon and phoenix pattern bowl from the Yuan Dynasty that I bought some time ago. I would like to ask you to help check the authenticity." Chu Chen  He nodded solemnly, then put on his gloves and carefully took the bowl into his hands.  I saw that the entire bowl was covered with blue glaze, and the glaze color was pure and bright.  It is as crystal clear and dazzling as sapphire. From this point of view, it is indeed the characteristic of Yuan Dynasty blue glaze.  Look at this bowl. The gold color inside the bowl depicts dragon patterns, and the gold color on the wall depicts phoenix patterns.  The image is vivid, the lines are smooth, and the painting is extremely magnificent.  As mentioned earlier, the preciousness of blue-glazed porcelain in the Yuan Dynasty was mentioned.  The blue glaze and gold-painted utensils are even more precious.  The reason why blue-glazed gold-colored wares are valuable is due to the firing process.  The blue-glazed vessel is first fired at high temperatures, and then gold-colored patterns are painted on the glaze.  It is baked at a low temperature. Because it is painted on glaze, and because the adhesion of the gold paint is very low, it is very easy to fall off.  Just like this bowl, the gold color used to depict the dragon and phoenix patterns has almost fallen off, which makes Chu Chen feel quite regretful. Of course, if the gold color had not fallen off, Chu Chen would definitely doubt its authenticity first.  But apart from the fact that most of the gold color fell off, this small bowl is still very worthy of recognition. After Chu Chen carefully observed it, he only felt that the deglazing of this porcelain was really good, and some of the good ones were impeccable.  "Wait, it's impeccable?" Just when Chu Chen was full of praise for this thing, he suddenly realized that something was wrong, because based on the craftsmanship of the Yuan Dynasty, if you want to say it is extremely exquisite, it is definitely okay, but  To be impeccable would be too much.  Thinking of this problem, Chu Chen quickly observed the small bowl carefully again, and finally discovered that this utensil was a bit "too good", thus losing the characteristics of the times that Yuan porcelain should have.  But to be honest, based on Chu Chen's experience, he was not too sure about this, because there were so few blue-glazed porcelains in the Yuan Dynasty, and the production was so lifelike that it was hard for him to make a decision at the moment, so he could only use  After getting the superpower, it turns out it was indeed made a few months ago.  Regarding this result, Chu Chen also frowned a little. Who is so powerful? There won't be another Cai Jianxuan, right?  Or is this thing really made by Cai Jianxuan?  After pondering for a moment, Chu Chen asked Mr. Hua to wait for a moment, and then called Yu Renpeng and others over.  This is because although he saw the problem with this piece of porcelain and the superpower also gave results, he could not find a convincing reason for the moment, so he could only work together.  After a while, Yu Renpeng and others came over, including the porcelain appraisal consultant invited by Chu Chen.Guan Guokang.  After everyone exchanged a few words, Chu Chen briefly explained the reason for inviting them over.  Hearing that this was the case, everyone was very curious, and then they observed the things one by one, and the result was that everyone had a look of contemplation on their faces.  "Director, what is your opinion?" Du Yile asked.  Chu Chen said: "I think, except for the golden color, this thing is so perfect that it is so perfect that it is somewhat divorced from the actual situation. But it doesn't deviate much, which makes it really difficult for me to make a decision." Everyone nodded.  He agreed, which made Mr. Hua nervous. As mentioned before, complete blue-glazed vessels from the Yuan Dynasty are very rare, with only about a dozen in the world.  The blue glaze with gold is even more precious and rare. Therefore, he spent a lot of money to buy this small bowl. If it was a fake, he would burst into tears.  At this time, Guan Guokang said: "Actually, have you ever thought about it, this thing is too new." Hua Lao heard this and said quickly: "It should be okay if it is newer. Maybe it was originally buried deep or sealed  The better the cellar, the better the preservation." Guan Guokang nodded and said: "What you said makes sense, but don't you think it's strange? If it's like the two situations you said, how could this gold color be like this?  So much of it fell off? " After hearing this, everyone reacted. If you want to say that it is perfectly preserved, why did the gold color fall off so badly?  And when the gold color is peeling off so seriously, how can the utensils be still so new and it is difficult to find the patina?  Mr. Hua said weakly: "Maybe it's because it was improperly stored after taking it out, so it happened?" Yu Renpeng shook his head and said: "The situation you mentioned does exist, but let's not talk about anything else.  "It doesn't seem like the gold on this small bowl has fallen off in a short time. Isn't this a contradiction?" "Uh" After hearing this, Mr. Hua didn't know what to do.  As the saying goes, what is fake cannot be true, and what is true cannot be fake. Especially for the relatively rare porcelain varieties of the Yuan Dynasty with blue glaze and gold color, it is difficult for imitators to get the real thing in hand for reference, so they can only imitate it by comparing it with the catalog.  Therefore, in everyone's discussions, more and more problematic areas have been found.  By the end of the discussion, the authenticity of this small bowl was self-evident, but the maker¡¯s superb imitation technology still made everyone sigh.  Guan Guokang said: "Like the blue-glazed utensils of the Yuan Dynasty, I started to find imitations coming out in the 1990s. Common plates, plum vases, large jars, bowls, bowls, etc., most of them are fakes, and a few of them are fakes.  "In the beginning, the imitation of these things was not good. The counterfeiters lacked general historical knowledge and cultural literacy, and the level of imitation was limited. Anyone with some practical experience can see the problem.  , but the situation has been very different in recent years. Those people have used the most advanced high-tech means to focus on restoring the original manual drawing steps. " "Modern kilns such as electric and natural gas are no longer used, and they are all using pine.  Wood-fired kiln, and the last time I met a kiln owner who specialized in imitating Yuan Dynasty porcelain, he actually invested a lot of money and hired technicians and experts with high salaries to strictly control the quality. The blue-glazed porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty was very realistic. I  It¡¯s hard to tell whether it¡¯s genuine or not at first glance.¡± Hearing this, Du Yile said in surprise: ¡°No, if these things appear on the market, wouldn¡¯t many buyers suffer?¡± Guan Guokang shook his head with a smile.  He shook his head and said, "How could something he spent so much money on making be easily put on the market?" Du Yile said in surprise, "What else should I do? Does he still keep it for himself to appreciate?"  "(To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
