Antiques with golden eyes

In the room, all eyes were focused on Zhang Qiyun like a spotlight, but Zhang Qiyun seemed not to notice and calmly walked towards the square table where calligraphy, paintings and porcelain pieces were placed.

Walking to the table, he first took a deep breath, and then skillfully put on a snow-white glove on his hand. Then, he stretched out his hand and gently and carefully lifted up a corner of the calligraphy and painting.

This seemingly simple action is actually the crucial first step in identifying calligraphy and painting: distinguishing paper and silk.

This is the way an insider would start.

His professional performance and focused and serious expression made many industry leaders, including the Dongjiang Collection Association, secretly nod their heads, and their impression of this young man became a little better.

The paper was light gray and worn, and it had obviously not been reframed for a long time.

However, its fibers are evenly fine and can absorb ink smoothly. Zhang Qiyun, who is experienced in it, concluded at a glance that it was mulberry paper.

Seeing this, his heart moved, and his knowledge reserves about this type of paper quickly flashed through his mind.

Chupi paper is a special paper for Song Dynasty paintings, and it is also the best among Song papers, representing the pinnacle level of papermaking technology in the Song Dynasty.

"Huh? Could it be an authentic painting from the Song Dynasty?" This thought flashed through his mind.

Then, the more he looked at it, the more he thought it was possible. This painting has the unique charm of the Song Dynasty painters, both in terms of paper quality and painting style.

"Don't take it lightly. There are many people who are blinded by this kind of unknown painting. Even masters who have been practicing for decades are blinded by it. You still have to observe it carefully!"

Anonymous paintings are difficult to identify.

Except for the five words "Spring Mountain Travel Picture", this painting has neither inscription nor poems written by other famous people.

And "travel" is also an extremely grand theme in ancient paintings.

The so-called travelers refer to all kinds of travelers walking in the mountains.

This includes caravans, scholars on spring outings, students rushing to take exams, and officials who are on their way to their posts.

The travel maps of the Song Dynasty are particularly famous.

Just like Fan Kuan's famous "Traveling in Streams and Mountains", it can be said to be the ancestor of travelling.

The reason is not complicated either.

In the Song Dynasty, the economy was developed, goods exchanges were frequent, and carriages and horses were transported between famous mountains and rivers, leaving behind many exquisite calligraphy and paintings.

This "Spring Mountain Travel" depicts a caravan of mules and horses with dozens of people moving slowly along the river.

Although it is spring, everyone in the caravan is still wearing thick leather jackets.

But since the word "spring" is written, it is natural to answer the question.

The ice in the river has melted, and several fishing boats are casting nets for fishing. The busy figures contrast with the sparkling water, forming a picture of fishermen working with a sense of life.

Not far away, there are several beautifully built houses scattered in an orderly manner. The adults are drying rice, children are laughing and playing around, the old man is drinking tea leisurely, and a few domestic dogs are lazily basking in the sun.

The whole picture gives people a sense of tranquility and beauty like a paradise.

There are not too many dazzling techniques in the painting, but the tranquil and leisurely feeling is vivid on the paper, making the viewer feel as if they are immersed in the painting and feel the unique peace in the painting.

After appreciating the calligraphy and painting, Zhang Qiyun turned his attention to the wood kiln porcelain piece.

He picked up the porcelain piece and flicked it lightly with his fingers, then immediately put it down again. He quietly placed his hand on the porcelain piece and felt its texture carefully.

The scene was extremely quiet, except for the slight breathing of everyone, there was no other sound.

About three or four minutes later, Zhang Qiyun took out the bright flashlight and high-power magnifying glass he carried with him and began to carefully examine the glaze color, texture, opening and other details of the porcelain pieces.

His eyes are focused and sharp, not missing any tiny detail. If nothing else, his confident aura alone is enough to intimidate people.

Finally, while everyone was waiting anxiously, Zhang Qiyun broke the silence. "Get paper and pen!"

The sound is not loud, but it is very clear in a quiet room.

Soon, someone quickly delivered pens, inks, paper and inkstones.

Zhang Qiyun picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, and then moved the brush quickly. In a short time, he wrote a calligraphy and painting appraisal basis.

After handing the paper to Li Bufan, his eyes returned to the wood kiln porcelain shards on the table. He cleared his throat first, and then told the many big guys watching about his identification basis, "Seniors, this piece of tile is broken."

I don’t think it’s broken porcelain from a firewood kiln.”

As soon as this statement came out, the scene was filled with murmurs.

Lin Qingzhi narrowed his eyes and smiled, with a trace of imperceptible sarcasm flashing in his eyes, "Oh? I wonder what is your basis for identification, Xiao Zhang?"

Zhang Qiyun rubbed his nose habitually and said unhurriedly: "First of all, the firewood kiln is just a legendary thing and has always been full of mystery.

"Folklore has it that because the cost of firing the wood kiln was too high, after Zhao Kuangyin wore the yellow robe, some people wanted to restart the wood kiln, but they were immediately stopped by Zhao Kuangyin.

"Because it cost too much to make a wood kiln, and there was already a Ru kiln at that time. With limited resources, there was no need to restart the wood kiln. Therefore, wood kilns have almost become extinct since the Song Dynasty.

"You can think about it. It is really hard to believe that objects that were extinct in the Song Dynasty suddenly appear here.

"Furthermore, it is said that Chai Kiln's "Baoying shoots the eyes, but the light can catch the arrow", which means that the luster of Chai Kiln's porcelain is so bright that it can reflect the gaze, and even seems to be able to block arrows.

"Although this porcelain piece also has a good gloss, it is far from the standard of the legendary wood kiln.

"Based on the above two considerations, I think this porcelain piece is not authentic from the Chai Kiln."

After everyone listened to Zhang Qiyun's analysis, although there were whispers, as industry leaders, they all knew that they should not reveal their attitudes easily before they were completely sure.

Even though they felt that what Zhang Qiyun said made sense, and even began to re-examine their understanding of the firewood kiln and their judgment of the porcelain piece, they still remained calm on their faces and would not show it easily.

After all, before the coffin is finalized, if you say the wrong thing, you are likely to be slapped in the face!

On the contrary, the audience in the live broadcast room agreed very much with Zhang Qiyun's analysis. Comments were posted one after another: "I feel like what this little brother Zhang said makes sense!"

"The more knowledge you have, the more professional you will be. It's hard to refute the results of this appraisal!"

"It's broken. He said these things first. It's hard for Expert Shen to handle!"

At this time, Zhang Qiyun stood aside confidently and looked at Shen Yu.

Everyone's eyes unconsciously shifted from Zhang Qiyun to Shen Yu, ready to wait for his appraisal.

Little did they know that just now, Shen Yu had already looked at this piece of porcelain using his special ability of appraising treasures.

When staring at the porcelain piece, a dazzling golden light instantly condensed out.

It's a full ten inches long!

One inch of precious light represents a hundred years, and the precious light emitted by this porcelain piece at this moment is ten inches, which means that it has experienced a thousand years of precipitation.

There is no doubt that it was the Chai Kiln built by Chai Shizong and Chai Rong.

Moreover, this porcelain piece is exactly the same as the three-legged brush wash in my collection, both in color and ice cracks!

"Is this the legendary luck?"
