Shenhao Starts With Antique Treasure Appraisal

What Li Tianming said made Yang Taiping a little impressed. It was quite impressive to be able to make a judgment on this piece of porcelain in such a short time.

However, looking back, it is not surprising that since Li Tianming was a student of Tang Kangshi, he knew some basic knowledge related to antiques.

At this time, Yu Xiu had an idea and said: "Expert Li, if you say that the craftsmanship of this porcelain is not good, it means that the owner of this tomb is of low status."

When Yang Taiping heard this, he glared at Tianxiu.

This kind of problem is not something that an appraisal expert can easily come to a conclusion about.

Determining the age and status of the owner of the ancient tomb is a matter for archaeologists.

As for the appraisal experts, they are only responsible for appraising the age, material, and degree of treasure of the burial objects, as well as whether they are worthy of being displayed in a museum.

Of course, there are some talented people who know the "187" method of appraising old objects and have research on archeology themselves, so that's a different matter.

As for Li Tianming, at such a young age, even if he has some understanding of these old objects, his knowledge is mostly very superficial.

It would be too difficult for him to judge the identity of the tomb owner.

After all, Li Tianming was the person invited by Professor Chen, and Yang Taiping didn't seem to be making too much of a fuss. He was about to say something to calm the atmosphere when he heard Xing Tianming speak.

"Judging from this piece of porcelain... it definitely has no style."

With that said, Li Tianming picked up the porcelain and showed everyone the bottom. It was indeed blank.

Song Yunqiao felt very surprised. When she took notes just now, she really didn't notice this problem.

How did Li Tianming discover it all at once? No, he didn't pick it up and look at it just now. He just relied on guesswork.

Li Tianming put down the porcelain and gathered around the long table. After scanning the funeral objects on it one by one, he slowly said: "Although there are many funeral objects on this table, there are many types and quantities.

But they are all ordinary things, and nothing too precious. It can be seen that this is a thin burial. "

"But the scanty burial does not mean that the owner of the tomb is a poor person. On the contrary, he should be a wealthy businessman, probably one of the richest in the world.

"What do you mean?" Yu Xiu sneered and said, "You can't just guess."

Song Yunqiao also felt that there was something wrong with Li Tianming's logic. Since he was a wealthy businessman, why would he choose to be buried lightly?

It seems that this Li Tianming is not a careful thinker.

Li Tianming did not pay attention to Yu Xiu, but said to himself: "In many dynasties in China, the wealthy people of Han, Tang, Song, Yuan and Qing all practiced lavish burials. The objects before Qin were completely different from those on the table. Different, so there is only one dynasty with thin burials, and that is the Ming Dynasty."

Yang Taiping raised his eyebrows: "You mean, this is the tomb of the Ming Dynasty?"

To be honest, Yang Taiping has been busy with rescue excavation work and has not had time to think carefully about the age of the tomb.

However, according to Yang Taiping's past experience, it is more likely that this ancient tomb is indeed a Ming Dynasty tomb.

"To be precise, it is a merchant tomb in the Hongwu period of the early Ming Dynasty." Li Tianming came to the final conclusion.

Song Yunqiao was startled. He didn't expect that Ji Tianming could even determine the specific dynasty period.

But, is this really right?

Yu Xiu was the first to jump out and sing the opposite.

"I'm just curious, how do you know this is a merchant's tomb or from the Hongwu period?"

Li Tianming said lightly: "Because of that piece of porcelain, the body of this porcelain jar is blue and white, which is the characteristic of blue and white porcelain.

Li Tianming pointed to the surface of the porcelain and said: "The color of blue and white tends to be black and dark, and the decoration is simpler, tending to be light and plain. This is improved from the rich and full-style decoration of the Yuan Dynasty, which was the style of the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty. Characteristics of blue and white porcelain."

"As for why it is said to be a merchant, it is even simpler. This porcelain jar has no signature and the workmanship is relatively poor. It is a product of a private cellar, which shows that the owner of the tomb was wealthy but not in the officialdom."

"If he was an official in the imperial court, he must have used high-quality celadon from the official cellar with a signature, so the tomb of the Hongwu merchant is the most reasonable explanation."

What Li Tianming said was powerful, convincing, and more importantly, well-founded and logically clear.

Others were stunned when they heard it.

If you are an outsider, you just think Li Tianming has a good accent. As for whether it is true, "I don't know."

But the people present were all experts, archaeologists who stayed with historical objects all day long. Of course they knew that what Li Tianming said was not wrong at all.

Not only that, in a very short period of time, just by scanning the funerary objects here with a pair of eyes, you can come to such a conclusion. It is simply an expert among experts.

Only then did Yang Taiping realize that the people recommended by Professor Tang Kangshi were really capable and not idiots who relied on connections to get by.

Of course Chen Nan knew Li Tianming's strength, and he laughed and said: "How is it? Isn't this young man surprising?"

"Awesome, really awesome." Yang Xiuping patted Li Tianming on the shoulder and said, "Then I can rest assured, I'll leave this to you."

Yang Xiuping then said to Song Yunqiao and Yu Xiu: "Xiao Song, Xiao Yu, you two cooperate well with Expert Li's work."

Song Yunqiao came back to his senses and nodded quickly.

Looking at Yu Xiu again, he had a depressed expression, as if he wanted to have a big meal but ended up eating a few mouthfuls of shit.

Li Tianming didn't care about the feelings of these people. He had already confirmed the work content with Chen Nan in advance.

It is nothing more than to clearly identify and record each funerary object from its shape, material to age and value.

"Who among you two will take the record?" Li Tianming asked.

Song Yunqiao looked at Yu Xiu and said, "I'll do it."

Li Tianming took a look at Song Yunqiao and found that he was quite handsome and had a good figure.

Song Yunqiao looked at Li Tianming's eyes and understood what he was thinking, and his face turned red.

"Can we start now? Expert Li."

Li Tianming smiled and saw some white gloves on the table, so he put them on with both hands.

Yu Xiu watched with cold eyes. He still did not believe that Li Tianming would be a good candidate for learning.

Li Tianming picked up a few broken beads and observed them carefully.

"This is amazing. The material is Asian rhino horn. It is an old Buddhist bead from the early Ming Dynasty. Although it was not valuable in the Ming Dynasty, if you get it in an auction house now, it will cost at least 600,000 yuan."

Li Tianming picked up another black jar: "Although this jar looks like a clay jar, it is actually a glaze jar. The difference is that the glaze jar has a dense body and a single-color rough glaze on the outside.

The pottery pot has a crisp texture. "

"Why?"

When Song Yunqiao heard this, he quickly looked at the previous records and found that he indeed remembered it as a clay pot.

This Li Tianming is so amazing, he can even guess the mistakes she, Song Yunqiao, made.

He is simply a monster!
