459. Chicken Flying Dog Jumping (monthly pass 151+)
When he was about to enter the house, Du Dayuan once again copied the small box containing the gems on his wrist. He looked very cautious and did not take it off even when he entered the house.
When he got home, Li Du poured the prepared juice and coffee for several people, and then took out the pastels he brought back from Page.
Seeing these porcelains, the three of them didn't bother to drink the drinks, so they took one of them and looked through them.
Hans was waiting for them to come to a conclusion, but Li Du didn't care. He knew that these things were fake.
Sure enough, after tasting the three of them, they gathered together and discussed in a low voice for a while. Ma Cheng raised his head and said, "Xiao Li, you may be disappointed."
Hans said in a lost voice: "What's wrong? Are there any problems with these porcelains?"
Ma Cheng sighed, and did not answer directly, but said, "In this way, let me tell you two about the pastel."
Li Du nodded and said, "I hope to hear the details."
Ma Cheng said: "Pancai was first created in the Jingdezhen Imperial Kiln Factory in the late Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty and was popular in the Qing palace court, so there was a saying of "The Secret Collection of the Qing Palace".
"The real pastel uses colorful raw materials, mixed with some glass white, and uses its turbid effect to make the color look soft and elegant."
As he said that, he raised a plate to show the two of them: "Look here, the patterns on this white-glazed porcelain plate include alum red, lake green, ochre and other colors. Is the color slightly more intense?"
Hans asked hesitantly: "Is there any?"
Ma Cheng smiled again and said, "Okay, continue to say that the color of pastels is soft and elegant, but its patterns are often rough, the materials are roughly ground, and the surface of the porcelain is peeled."
"The reason for this is that when porcelain is baked, it is necessary to bake colors in a low-temperature furnace fire, so that the colored materials and glaze are not closely combined after melting, which is the characteristic of Kangxi pastels."
"But when you look at these porcelains, how can they peel color? The baked ones are very good. The colored materials and glaze are combined very closely and beautifully, but they are too beautiful!"
Speaking of this, he paused and said, "Do you know why I kept using Kangxi pastels to explain? In fact, there were Yongzheng pastels later, and the style had nothing to do with what I said."
Hans shook his head, and Li Du nodded: "There are words made in the Kangxi period under the plate."
Ma Cheng smiled and said, "Yes, the words on this plate illustrate its age, but it happens that from this point, it can also be seen its identity as a counterfeit, and there are its flaws here."
The Qing Dynasty was the culmination of the history of Chinese porcelain making, and its porcelain making level reached an unprecedented peak.
Influenced by the strict feudal rule system and the historical tradition of porcelain making, there were certain conventions on the inscriptions of official kiln porcelain and folk kiln porcelain in the Qing Dynasty.
Among them, the Kangxi Dynasty lasted 61 years and the most common patterns were found, but the official kiln styles were mostly made in the six-character two-line or three-line blue and white regular script styles, and only in the late period there were a small number of seal script styles.
In addition, the common stem and branch year periods in the early period are common, such as the Zhonghetang system of the Kangxi Xinhai, etc.
Ma Cheng told these antique knowledge once again, and when Li Du and Hans nodded to show their understanding, he continued to speak.
"You see, what is written on this plate? 'Kangxi Year system', this way of writing is quite irregular. If you want to write, you have to write the four words "Kangxi Imperial System".
"Even if there is an official kiln that dares to write this, then look at these four characters, what is the style of them? Blue and white regular script! From this we can see that these porcelains were fired in the early stages of Kangxi."
"However, looking at its handwriting, the fonts in the early Kangxi Dynasty were wide and thick, with thick strokes, and obvious pauses. But what about here? These four characters are elegant and elegant, which is not very consistent with the real history."
"If you continue to look closely, there will be more problems. The four points of Xi are used to use straight or smooth points. What about here? Reverse points! This is not possible. Literary inquisition is popular in the Qing Dynasty. If you do this, people will be considered to be a ruthless person and you have to be imprisoned!"
"Look at the word "Nian". Among the authentic products, the three horizontal lines of this character are shorter, the third horizontal lines are longer, and they are tightly up, and the one vertical line is longer. But what about the plate? The three horizontal lines and the two horizontal lines are too far apart!"
Du Dayuan pushed the computer to them. There was an auction page on the computer, and there were a group photo of several Chinese people, including three of them.
Li Du said in surprise: "What is this?"
Ding Xiaofeng looked at it and smiled and said, "Old Du, you made a mistake. This is the news photo we had on the Los Angeles Spring Auction a few months ago. Why did you show them this?"
Du Dayuan quickly switched the page and smiled bitterly: "Phoenix just asked for our promotional photos. I found one of them from the Internet and sent them, but forgot to switch back."
The newly appeared page is a PPT, which contains many photos of porcelain from the Kangxi period, including close-ups of the signature handwriting.
Du Dayuan said: "You can compare these signatures and look at the signatures on these porcelains. You should be able to see some problems."
Hans couldn't understand, so he looked at Li Du, who smiled bitterly and said, "They were right, these things were fake..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a knock on the door suddenly sounded outside the door.
Ding Xiaofeng, who was closest to the door, went to open the door. As soon as he opened the door, someone suddenly grabbed him and pushed him towards the wall, shouting sternly: "Police, don't move!"
Ding Xiaofeng's face suddenly turned pale, and his legs became soft and almost slipped down the wall.
At the same time, Ma Cheng and Du Dayuan also changed their expressions and they all stood up subconsciously.
Du Dayuan swept the small box in his hand, and the coffee cup was swept down on the table, causing chaos!
Several policemen walked in, and then the female policeman who was holding Ding Xiaofeng was stunned: "Uh, who are you? Oh, sorry, I caught the wrong person."
Li Du was shocked and angry and shouted: "Luo Chuan, what are you doing?"
The female policeman who took action was naturally a rosy skirt, and only she was so childish and loved to joke around so much.
When Li Du asked, an embarrassing expression appeared on her pretty face and said, "Sorry, sorry, I thought you opened the door and wanted to joke with you. Are these?"
Li Du quickly went up and helped Ding Xiaofeng up in a state of embarrassment and apologized repeatedly: "I'm sorry, Teacher Ding, I'm really sorry. This is my landlord, and she is also our compatriot. She is not easy or heavy in doing things. I'm really sorry!"
Ding Xiaofeng waved his hand quickly and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I am just shocked by her."
Ma Cheng and Du Dayuan supported Ding Xiaofeng from both sides and said, "It doesn't matter Xiao Li, Teacher Ding is timid, probably scared."
Luo Chuan could understand Mandarin, so he apologized again. The other policemen were affected and apologized with her.
There was a police colleague here, and Li Du couldn't show her face to prevent her from coming to Taiwan, so she asked in a low voice: "What are you doing? How about coming back at this time?"
Luo Chuan also whispered: "Come back for lunch, we happened to investigate a case around here, I just wanted to invite them back for dinner. Who knows that so many of you are at home."
