Antiques with golden eyes

Netizens in the Shengshi Collection live broadcast room were all enlightened by the question raised by [Crickets are not as handsome as me].

The barrage immediately gave a thumbs up.

Many people have also said that they have thought about this problem many times, but they just can’t figure it out.

It stands to reason that even if the quality of a painter's works is somewhat different, the price difference should not be tens of millions.

Shen Yu picked up the microphone at hand and thought for a moment before saying, "Generally, the price of famous calligraphy and painting is based on landscapes, figures, flowers, birds, bamboos and stones.

"Fish, insects, animals, fruits and vegetables are relatively cheap.

"Paper, that is, drawings on paper, are more expensive than silk because they are easier to preserve.

"In addition, the larger the painting, the more valuable it is.

"Vertical scrolls are more expensive than hand scrolls, and hand scrolls are more expensive than album pages, etc.

"Also, works by painters in their later years are more expensive than those in their youth.

"The more celebrity seals, inscriptions, and collector's seals on a calligraphy and painting, and the more times it is included in records, the more valuable it will be. The more distinguished the person who has collected this painting in the past, the more valuable it will be.

"There is also the condition of the painting. For example, if the body of a painting is bitten by insects and rats, the value will plummet.

"No matter how good the restoration skills are, it will more or less lose some of the charm of the original work, such as full color, and no matter how good the painter is, it will not be as good as the original artist.

"On the other hand, if the silk paper is neat and complete, and people will want to collect it at a glance, then the price will definitely be high.

"The above are things that need to be considered one by one when pricing a painting.

"But the most important thing is eye contact. What is eye contact? It means that a person particularly likes a painting after seeing it.

"I really want to buy this painting, no matter how much money I spend, this is the most important thing, more than anything else."

Shen Yu took another sip of water after talking about this: "That's roughly what it means. For example, I really like Tang Yin's figure paintings.

"Some collectors don't like scrolls, but like albums or fans. They put them by their bedside and look at them every day before going to bed. This can't be said to be wrong."

A series of thumb barrages came out from the live broadcast room...

The audience was no longer stingy with their applause.

[Crickets are not as handsome as me]: "Thank you, experts, for clarifying my doubts. What are the differences between the vertical scrolls, hand scrolls, and albums you mentioned?"

Suddenly, something changed on the big screen.

[Little shrimp in the antique industry]: "The handsome guy just now was too verbose, so the host asked me to ask a question. Now it's my turn."

Although his name is Xiao Xiami, he is a veteran. He is a 92-level VIP live broadcaster. He has been promoted from VIP level 1 to level 92. It would be impossible to even think about it without a reward of one million yuan.

Superstar Live has three live broadcast APPs. In addition to Superstar, the two most popular live broadcast APPs, Tianyin and Wuwu, also belong to Superstar Culture.

And it is common to all accounts under it.

When Shen Yu saw the other party clearly, he realized that it was a middle-aged fat uncle. He only heard the other party clear his throat, "Expert Shen, how do you distinguish the red seal and the white seal on this calligraphy and painting?"

Shen Yu, who knew antiques, answered casually: "Zhu Wen Seal, because the seal is engraved in the sun, the words on the surface of the seal are raised. This kind of seal is dipped in ink mud and the words printed on the paper are red, so it is called Zhu Wen."

"The white text seal is the opposite. When carving the seal, the characters are concave. When the seal is used for sealing, the characters on the seal cannot be dipped in the ink pad, so after printing on the paper, the parts of the characters are blank, hence the name white text seal. ”

[Xiao Xiami in the Antiques Industry]: "I have heard of these, but I just can't tell them apart? People usually say thick, white and thin vermilion, does it mean that the vermilion seal is thinner?"

Shen Yu quickly explained: "You can't use thickness to distinguish. You must know that thick, red, and thin white also exist. In this way, the first friend mentioned Tang Yin, so I will talk about Tang Yin's two seals, and then you can search and compare. .

"These are the two seals that Tang Yin commonly used. His 'Tang Yin Private Seal' is a typical white seal.

"And the 'Liu Ru layman' is Zhu Wenyin.

"You can't learn these things just by listening to them. You have to actually see them and learn them. Take your time."

Antique Street Xiao Xiami: “Thanks for the expert’s advice!”

Shen Yu smiled and showed eight teeth: "You're welcome." Then he sat down because he felt that it was impossible for the third netizen to ask him any more questions.

Song Jiajia faced the big screen and promptly reminded: "The third friend can ask questions."

The big screen flashed slightly, and then a very energetic young man in a suit and leather shoes appeared in front of the camera.

Shen Yu was slightly startled when he saw the person coming.

He never expected that this so-called "Please call me Mr. Xu" netizen would actually be Xu Duofu.

"Why did the fat man come to join in the fun?" Shen Yu muttered in his heart.

Xu Duofu only asked his question after saying hello to all the audience, the audience in the live broadcast room and the audience in front of the TV.

He asked about a piece of jade knowledge, that is, the color of ancient jade.

The jade knowledge must have been answered by Zheng Congyuan, Boss Zheng.

I saw Lao Zheng slowly closing the folding fan in his hand, and then picked up the microphone at hand.

The big screen is split-screen, showing shots of Zheng Congyuan and Xu Duofu at the same time.

In this comparison, Zheng Congyuan's sales are much better than Xu Duofu's, which can be said to be full of literary and artistic style.

He was born with thick eyebrows, big eyes, fair hair, and today he wore a long gown and a pair of rimless glasses. No one would object if he said he was a university professor.

This gentle and elegant appearance made Zheng Congyuan burst into warm applause before he could even open his mouth.

Shen Yu secretly thought that Boss Zheng must add a chicken leg to his costume designer. No matter who sees this outfit, he must praise it. He must be an educated person.

Zheng Congyuan quickly hugged the audience and then bowed deeply.

"Hello netizen, what problem do you want to know about the color of jade?" Zheng Congyuan asked Xu Duofu politely.

As soon as he said these words, Shen Yu understood immediately.

After a long time of fuss, the fat man came to Zheng Congyuanzhuang.

The two of them pretend to be really similar. The other side calls Teacher Zheng respectfully, while the other side calls netizens affectionately.

You must know that these two people have known each other for at least three to five years. They don't say they eat and drink every day, but they will definitely sit together and have a few drinks every month, and they pretend not to know each other on the show.

Life is like a play, it all depends on acting.

The more Shen Yu thought about it, the more he wanted to laugh, but he couldn't. Although the camera was shown to Zheng Congyuan, there was a live broadcast on the Internet, so he had to unscrew the thermos cup and take a sip of tea.

Xu Duofu said very respectfully: "I want to know if the color of ancient jade can be faked?"

Zheng Congyuan said casually: "That's natural. As we all know, Yuqin refers to a colored substance in jade, usually in the form of filaments. It is the color change formed by the interaction between the trace elements of the jade itself and the substances in the soil.< /p>

"There are many kinds of jade colors. Generally speaking, yellow Qin is called Tu Qin, green Qin is called Tong Qin, purple-red Qin is called Xue Qin, and black Qin is called Mercury Qin, also called black lacquer ancient.

"Most of them can be faked. For example, Xueqin and Tuzin can be made together.

"It is said in "Complete Collection of Antiques" that animal blood is mixed with some kind of loess to make mud, then put it in a jar, and then bury the jade in it. Over time, rust and blood will appear on the jade. Traces."

Xu Duofu asked again: "I don't know how to distinguish such fake ancient jade?"

Zheng Congyuan's face was solemn and serious: "It's very easy to distinguish. The magic is one foot high and the road is high. The color of ancient jade is mostly deep into the texture of the jade, that is, the inside of the jade. It looks very natural from the outside to the inside.

"Fake things are just superficial. No matter how powerful the counterfeiting technology is, it is not as good as natural. An expert can tell it at a glance.

"Here I would like to remind everyone that if it is an ancient jade with a clear color or rust on the surface, try not to buy it.

"First of all, many ancient jades handed down from ancient times have pulp coating, and blood qin, earth qin, copper qin, cinnabar qin, and mercury qin are obvious. Most of them are the artifacts dug out by tomb robbers in the tombs. Even if you buy it, it will be troublesome. .

"And jade is not necessarily the so-called ancient jade.

"I can responsibly say that all real jade is ancient.

"Because it takes hundreds of millions of years to form jade, do you think there is any difference between the jade mined in the Han Dynasty and the newly mined jade today?

"The answer is no difference!

"Compared to the time it took for jade to be formed, one or two thousand years really doesn't count. It's just that it was later carved into the finished product.

"So no matter how much you love jade, since you have waited for hundreds of millions of years, is there still a gap of one or two thousand years? Do you think this is true?"

Wow!

The applause from the audience was like thunder.

The live broadcast room is also full of likes.

"Yes, it takes hundreds of millions of years to form jade. Is there still only one or two thousand years to go?"

"That's right, it's disgusting to think about the ancient jade that's bloody and rusty. Why do you want that thing?"

"Yes, a gentleman is like jade. Even if we like jade, we can't buy it from a grave."

"That's right, jade nourishes people. It's best to keep jade yourself."

"Thank you, Teacher Zheng. I really benefited a lot today!" Xu Duofu looked extremely impressed.

Seeing this, Shen Yu secretly sighed. It would be a pity for Fatty not to become an actor with his acting skills.
