Wealth

"It's absolutely impossible. Our department also has a specially-appointed appraisal master. This chapter was uploaded by netizens, and the Internet hereby declares that" the middle-aged people insisted that Fan's bronzes must be genuine.

Previously, the security department in Shanghai received a report saying that someone was carrying a number of national treasure-level bronzes and that they were about to come here to do business with criminals overseas. The middle-aged people took it seriously and sent the ones they trusted the most. The subordinates fully controlled, and found Zhang Mao's whereabouts in the first time, and found his backstage by following the vine.

It's just that the middle-aged man didn't think that his backstage was actually Fan Wuyi, which is strange.

The middle-aged people know about Fan Wuyi's wealth. How could anyone who would come to ask for his opinion personally by the vice premier sells national treasure-level cultural relics for this little profit? Isn't that not easy to find by yourself?

But if you say that these artifacts are fake, then it’s a bit difficult to explain. It’s hard to say that the experts in the appraisal that I hired, and the domestic experts in the study of bronzes from Shang and Zhou Dynasties, can be considered to be a mixed bag. Isn't it?

"I think this is good, you might as well invite your appraisers over to study the authenticity carefully, or how about returning my innocence?" Fan Wubing suggested.

"Okay, I'll let them over." The middle-aged man agreed. As long as the authenticity and provenance of these bronzes are confirmed, what else can Fan Wubing have to say? Although he has a good relationship with the upper echelon, he should explain this kind of thing, right?

Fan Wubing went on to say, "No, I'll go to you for the appraisal, so that people don't know that I'm the one who is in charge here. After it's passed on, there will be no way to do it again."

Of course, the middle-aged person has no objection to this. In fact, he is also worried that Fan Wubing will not cooperate. Given his special status, it is really inconvenient to deal with him directly. At this time, Fan Wubing proposed to the Ministry of Security to do it. Identification is naturally the best.

So the group packed up all the bronzes. A few large items were packaged carefully and then carried out by the security department. Fan Wubing and Zhang Maolu went to a secret stronghold of the security department along with the middle-aged people. They waited for the identification experts. Rush over.

A few people were idle and had nothing to do. Fan Wubing drank the tea from the middle-aged man while talking to Zhang Maolu. "Actually, I don't know much about bronzes. Although I know some, they are very superficial. If you show up today, how about you tell me about it?"

Zhang Maolu said with a smile. "President Fan's words are a bit too modest. Others don't know you. I don't know yet."

There are a few security departments in the house. At this time, I heard two people discussing bronze ware. Can't help but surround themselves. There are ready-made bronze wares in the house. There are also ready-made local industry insiders. Naturally, it is necessary to learn.

Say it again. The smuggling of cultural relics here in Shanghai is also quite serious. The security department often comes into contact with similar cases. Although the appraisal experts are always asked to make a conclusion of authenticity. But if you know a little bit more. It is also beneficial for future work. Yeduo doesn't press down.

The middle-aged people are also deliberate to test the standard of Zhang Maodi. So he said. "It just so happens that we also have a batch of smuggled cultural relics that were seized last month. How about you come and see?"

After getting a positive answer from Zhang Maodi. The middle-aged people let people bring three or four bronze wares. Laid out one word.

Fan Wuyi took a look. There is a forty-centimeter-high bronze tripod. There is also something like a food box. There are knobs on the lid. Tigers and dragons are not what Tao looks like. There is also a chime. It's rusty.

After all, Zhang Maolu is a connoisseur of fraud. I saw this thing and laughed, "This is typically made in Xi'an. There are a lot of bronzes unearthed in Shaanxi, and there are more fake farmers. You have the same style of these pieces, and they are undoubtedly fakes."

"You can even see where the fraud is?" a security staff member asked curiously.

Zhang Maolu nodded somewhat reservedly. This kind of pediatrics is really not difficult for him. At best, he uses these artifacts to literacy literacy for everyone.

There are many schools of bronze fraud. But the mixed ones are more famous. There are just a few places, namely, made in Suzhou, made in Weixian, made in Xi'an, and made in Beijing. Their main characteristics are. Suzhou uses better materials. When smelting and casting copper, some silver is often added to make the ground of the bronze ware appear silvery white. Their imitation objects are mainly Shang and Western Zhou wares. The raw and cooked pits are omnipotent, and the carvings are fine. , The decoration is smooth, the inscriptions are lifelike, and the works are widely spread.

There are an endless stream of master craftsmen in Weixian, who are good at carving patterns and inscriptions. Most of the artifacts made are in the shape of cooked pits, but the walls of the artifacts are thick, heavy and pressed.

Xi'an also pays attention to inscriptions, not only fake inscriptions, but also some real objects without inscriptions, in order to increase their value. What I did the most was weighing and measuring utensils, such as Qin Zhaoban, Qin Liang, etc., which probably had something to do with the base area of ​​the Great Qin Dynasty where they were.

The bronze wares made in Beijing are mainly made in Shang and Zhou Dynasties. They are more exquisitely decorated with exquisite shapes and realistic rust spots, especially the ancient black lacquer and the ancient green lacquer, which can be accurately represented. After all, it is at the feet of the emperor. It is not so easy to make a living by mixing the mouth. Without some real skill, it can't be done.

"Like these appliances, the style and structure are relatively simple, and the technical content is not high, but they have been buried under the ground for a little more years. They look like genuine products. Although this is a stupid way, it is sometimes a matter of control. Land. However, what Xi’an makes are replicas of some unearthed cultural relics. Unearthed utensils cannot be made. Therefore, as long as you have more research on bronze wares, you can basically find familiar places on these utensils and distinguish the authenticity. It's easier too." Zhang Maolu refused to say more about the details. After all, these are the basis of a mixed meal. To put it mildly, it means that knowledge changes destiny!

Newly cast bronzes are generally more important than genuine ones. Counterfeit or imitations are buried in the ground for a shorter period of time. Unlike bronzes that have undergone slow corrosion for thousands of years, the authentic ones have undergone corrosion and oxidation, and their ground surface expands slightly, resulting in specific gravity. Decline, while fake castings do not have this process, they appear heavier.

On the other hand, the bronzes that have been corroded deeply underground, the copper is already mineralized, so the sound is mostly turbid. But if it is a bronze ware buried in an extremely dry and pure soil layer, the percussion sound is also very good.

The bronze ware cast by ancient Kuaifan has a good surface finish, and the decoration is even subtle. There are few temperature holes on the surface, and there are fewer shrinkage holes caused by copper liquid injection. However, the fake artifacts cast by modern methods often show some blisters on the surface, and some even produce casting defects such as shrinkage holes.

A few people here pointed and talked for a while, and then the appraisal experts were invited. There were three old men in their sixties. This is naturally understandable, without decades of research. It is unlikely to be an expert in cultural relic research.

After several old men came over, they didn’t say much nonsense. They immediately began to study the bronze wares brought by Fan Wubing and Zhang Maolu. Originally, they were very excited when they saw the pictures and materials of these equipments. The preliminary identification was The real thing, now that I saw the real thing, of course I have to study it carefully.

After all, for their experts who study ancient cultural relics, seeing the newly discovered ancient bronzes is like a wolf that has been hungry for three years and has seen a lamb. Even the people from the security department can't respond to them when they talk to them. Without exception, the three old men slapped and beat, touched and buckled, smelled and licked on the bronzes, the action seemed a bit inelegant.

"What can this thing smell?" a staff member asked inexplicably.

Zhang Maolu explained, “Most of the bronzes in Shang and Zhou Dynasties were copper-tin-lead alloys, and when struck with your hands, the sound was clear and crisp. Because they had been buried in the soil for thousands of years, there was an earthy smell, and the newly unearthed bronzes had a stronger smell. But the fake artifacts after Song Dynasty were mostly brass, and they were not oxidized or oxidized for a short time. When tapped with hands, the sound was slender and turbid, and there was no earthy fragrance, but there was sweaty smell. This is due to the use of chemicals for counterfeiting. For example, artificial ground or artificial rust such as acid salt sand, although buried for many years, still has an acid smell."

An old man who was being identified heard the words, looked up at Zhang Donkey, nodded and said, "That's right." Then he continued to lower his head to study the things under his hands.

After tinkering for a while, the three old men discussed for a while, and then solemnly said, "After our unanimous determination, these bronzes cannot be identified as fakes."

Can't be considered a fake? What does it mean? The middle-aged people naturally felt a little confused~www.wuxiaspot.com~ so they asked, "What does it mean that the three masters cannot be identified as fakes?" There is no precedent before, and after research, we haven’t found any known counterfeit methods to appear on these appliances. Therefore, although we cannot immediately confirm that these are genuine products, we cannot conclude that these appliances are fakes." An old man Said.

Now the middle-aged person understood, "You mean, you can't verify the authenticity?"

The three old men nodded embarrassingly and admitted this statement.

In fact, the authenticity of cultural relics depends to a large extent on knowledge and extensive knowledge, but when you suddenly encounter a device that has never been seen before, you will be a little helpless. After all, there is no experience to learn from. At that time, the experts would feel a little bit blinded. What's more, the fraud technology Zhang Maolu used this time was indeed unused before.

Fan Wubing looked at Zhang Maolu and smiled, thinking that this time the work is very beautiful, and experts can't identify the authenticity.
