Traveling across the heavens starting from the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 9 Teachings from Mr. Chen
Leave the 'Shengwenxuan' antique store.

To the left, or to the right.

Li Huaian stood on the street with some hesitation.

Finally, after taking another look at the white porcelain basin in his hand, he chose to turn left.

Just like the antique shop owner said.

Spend 200 yuan.

It’s not bad to gain more knowledge and learn something.

Besides, it's not expensive either.

On the way to the museum opened by Mr. Chen.

Li Huaian's hands were not idle. He used his mobile phone to check some information about Mr. Chen. According to the antique shop owner, Mr. Chen can be found on the official website of the country and the official website of Donghai Province. data of.

There are also many related official news introductions online.

It is indeed true.

Mr. Chen is a well-known researcher in the national archaeological community and has often participated in and presided over archaeological activities in many countries.

It is also quite famous in the collecting world.

These strengthened his decision to go to the museum.

We walked in the antique street for 100 meters.

Finally found the museum.

Li Huaian looked up at the name of the museum.

"It's really called 'Hide and Play Museum'. It's an interesting name."

Verified the information about the name of the museum that I found on my phone.

Li Huaian walked into the museum.

"Sir, do you want to visit or appraise it?"

"Identification."

Li Huaian expressed his intention to the museum staff.

"If you want to appraise something, you need to inform him first. Our museum charges for appraisal. Each appraisal requires an appraisal fee of 200 yuan."

"The appraisal fee needs to be collected first."

"It just so happens that we can provide identification services today."

The staff explained.

"it is good."

Li Huaian expressed his understanding.

These antique shop owners have told him, and they also learned about it when they checked information related to Mr. Chen on their mobile phones.

Besides, there are also notice boards placed in conspicuous places in the main hall of the museum.

Pay the fee.

The staff took Li Huaian from the main hall of the museum into an aisle and came to the door of a studio.

"Excuse me, Mr. Chen, someone needs identification."

After the staff member finished speaking, he signaled to Li Huaian that he could go in, then turned around and left, returning to the main hall of the museum to continue working.

Li Huaian walked into the studio.

Inside the house, Mr. Chen was sitting at the table, holding a porcelain bowl and looking at it carefully, writing down some words on his hand from time to time.

He looked at the furnishings in the house again.

There are a lot of porcelain, scrolls, and books.

The whole house is messy but not messy.

"Sit down, you can put things on the table."

When Mr. Chen heard someone entering the room, he raised his eyes and pointed directly to the opposite side of the table.

During this period, he had no intention of putting down the porcelain bowl in his hand.

Li Huaian took two steps to the table and sat opposite Mr. Chen. At the same time, he placed the porcelain in his hand on the table. Without saying a word, he opened the waste paper on the porcelain to reveal the porcelain inside.

"Celadon plum vase with closed mouth?"

"Correct."

When he came to the museum for appraisal, Li Huaian did not take the white porcelain water bowl again. To be cautious, he found an opportunity on the way there and exchanged it for this celadon plum vase with a closed mouth from a private warehouse.

Do it.

It can be regarded as wanting to verify it from the side again.

Even he has already figured it out in his heart.

I still want to confirm the reason why these porcelains brought back from the Tang Dynasty world are not real.

"Young man, could you please tell me where this piece of porcelain came from?"

Mr. Chen had no intention of picking up the celadon plum vase on the table, and was still playing with the porcelain bowl in his hand.

"Mr. Chen, I collected this from someone."

This time Li Huaian had a different explanation.

Mr. Chen stopped what he was doing and said with a smile: "It seems that you are still young. Are you new to antiques? If you don't have much money to spend, then you should treat it as a lesson."

"Ah."

Li Huaian nodded and said: "Mr. Chen, I am also new to the industry. I liked this piece of porcelain very much when I saw it, so I spent tens of thousands of yuan to acquire this piece of porcelain."

A few words of dialogue between two people.The authenticity of this celadon plum vase with a narrow mouth was confirmed.

but.

Li Huaian didn't intend to leave just like that.

"Mr. Chen, can you tell me why this piece of porcelain can be seen at a glance as a closed product instead of an open product?"

Come here.

The money was also paid.

If you don't learn something, it would be a loss.

"I didn't expect you, a young man, to know the terminology of the antique trade."

"This is not good. You are young, don't be like an old fritter, and speak words that are incomprehensible. This is not conducive to the development of the industry."

reminded me

Xu Shi saw that Li Huaian was curious about knowledge.

Mr. Chen's identity is also that of an archaeological researcher, and the teaching soul in his heart has begun to trouble him. Not many young people like to learn this nowadays.

So he placed the porcelain bowl in his hand next to the celadon plum vase with a closed mouth.

"Look at the difference between these two pieces of porcelain?"

heard.

Li Huaian carefully observed the porcelain placed on the table.

a little.

just opened his mouth.

"Mr. Chen, this piece of porcelain doesn't look as old as the porcelain bowl next to it."

Mr. Chen nodded and said: "The porcelain I just placed was from the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. The shape of yours is from the Tang Dynasty. There are hundreds of years between the two porcelains. Why is this porcelain from the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty? Does the porcelain bowl look older than your Tang Dynasty celadon plum vase?"

Li Huaian was puzzled.

"This is why this piece of porcelain of yours is fake at first glance."

"It's too new. The new one dazzles your eyes. It's called a thief's light in the antique industry."

"To put it bluntly, one looks like an old man and the other looks like a young man."

then.

Mr. Chen pointed to the porcelain bowl.

"If your celadon plum vase is real, the feeling between the two porcelains should be reversed. This porcelain bowl from the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty should look like a young man, and your celadon plum vase from the Tang Dynasty should look like a middle-aged man. Young people."

"After more than 1000 years from the Tang Dynasty to the present, your celadon plum vase with a narrow mouth has no sense of historical vicissitudes at all."

"Also, pick up this celadon plum vase and put it to your ear to listen."

Mr. Chen gestured to Li Huaian.

Li Huaian also obediently picked up the celadon slim plum vase, put it to his ear and listened carefully.

At this time.

Mr. Chen also put down what he was doing, stopped talking, and kept the room relatively quiet.

After a few seconds.

Li Huaian's eyes lit up and he said, "Mr. Chen, I just heard the plum vase in my hand seem to ring. It was very clear, just like the sound of a wind chime. It was very nice."

Mr. Chen smiled and said: "I heard it, that's right."

"In the Ming and Qing dynasties, as well as before the Yuan Dynasty, due to the technical reasons for firing porcelain at that time, as well as the differences in the cognition of craftsmen, the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the fired porcelain was large when the kiln was opened, causing the porcelain to suddenly collapse. When exposed to the outside world, many cracks will occur instantly, and when these porcelain cracks, they will make a sound like wind chimes."

"There is a saying in the antique industry that money cannot buy a sound. This sound is the sound you just heard."

"The sound produced by this kind of porcelain is the pattern on the porcelain, which is also called opening."

“During the Song Dynasty, many famous porcelain-firing kilns based their creations on this phenomenon and produced many unique split-piece porcelains with cracks.”

While speaking, Mr. Chen stretched out his hand to signal Li Huaian to hand him the celadon slim plum vase.

"It's just that your celadon plum vase made a little too much noise. During the time the two of us were talking, it probably made five or six sounds."

"The real celadon of the Tang Dynasty has almost cracked itself after more than 1000 years of precipitation."

"If you want to hear a cracking sound, it depends on the chance."

"Sometimes, when you are sleeping in the middle of the night, you may hear a sound in the middle of the night."

Mr. Chen took the celadon plum vase with a closed mouth, looked at it, flicked the mouth of the vase with his finger, listened to the sound, picked up the magnifying glass at hand, and examined the vase carefully.

Study for a while.

After confirming the celadon narrow plum vase in his hand.

Mr. Chen laughed and looked at Li Huaian.

"This celadon plum vase of yours is a bit interesting."

"It turned out to be a reburned object."

"Perhaps judging from the material of this piece of porcelain, you spent tens of thousands of yuan on it, but you did not lose money by buying it. It is a rare modern re-fired imitation of the Tang Dynasty Yue kiln celadon plum vase with a narrow mouth."

"If you meet someone you like, you might still make money."

Relapse of fever?

This left Li Huaian confused for a moment.

"Mr. Chen, what does relapse mean? Why do you say it's not a loss?"
