The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

Since Xijiapan disappeared during the Republic of China, no one knew its true whereabouts for decades. Only the Republic of China made a copy of it to survive, but occasionally fakes appeared.

As Boss Ma said earlier, in a calligraphy museum of Little Devil, there is a bronze plate called "Xi Jia Pan".

In modern times, this little devil didn't know how many precious cultural relics had been plundered from China. At first glance, I thought that Xijiapan might have been looted by the devil.

However, some people have already verified that the bronze plate of the little devil and the Xijia plate preserved by the great collector Chen Jieqi in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China are two different things. The bronze plate in the hands of the little devil is simply a fake.

The shape is correct. The problem lies in the inscriptions. This is the advantage of having rubbings to survive: comparing the original rubbings with the so-called "Xijia plate" in the hands of the little devil, the result is clear and clear!

Fake!

Where did the real Xijia pan go?

In the United States.

If it weren’t for Zhang Nan’s intervention, it would have to be until 2010. A Chinese who loves Chinese traditional culture and has lived in the United States all the time. He found the Xijia plate at a small auction in the United States and bought it for a big price. A national treasure that has been handed down for nearly a thousand years and has been left for nearly a hundred years.

After three or four years, Xi Jia returned to China for display, causing a sensation in the industry.

By that time in 2016, Lian Zhang Nan had heard that the Xijia plate might be auctioned at China's domestic public auction. A group of experts estimated that it might sell for hundreds of millions or even more than 200 million yuan!

A bunch of wealthy people sharpened their knives, but before Zhang Nan, the soy sauce maker, saw the start of the shooting in the news, he headed back to 1986. Not to mention the Xijia plate, but the Jiaxi plate was temporarily gone with him. A dime relationship.

Boss Ma was shocked at this time, but Zhang Tiejun was not too surprised, and asked, "The authentic product went to the United States?"

He plays jade, and he doesn't feel very deep about bronze, let alone it's not him who got hit.

Zhang Nan heard it and said, "Well, the people below brought it to me. I asked some top domestic bronze experts to read it and compared the original rubbings. The authenticity is undoubtedly."

Where did it come from?

The "Treasure Hunt" program is really energetic. The Xijia plate was dug out from the corner of the corner through the audition, and it became Zhang Nan's collection with a smash of $200,000.

Speaking of this, Zhang Nan knocked on the bronze plate on the coffee table, "The sound is good, the workmanship is fine, and the patina is even better.

But looking at these inscriptions above, compared with the real one, the problem arises. "

Boss Ma listened carefully, but he paid a lot of money to eat this "baby", even if the ball is dead, it must be understood.

Seeing his inquisitive expression, Zhang Nan said here again: "I really can't tell how this package was made. Not to mention that the methods of counterfeiting are changing with each passing day, and many of the old-fashioned craftsmanship are secretive. We do it. Don't understand.

It is said that there were a lot of counterfeiters in the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, and this thing is not necessarily correct at that time..."

Because the authentic product is in your own hands, this is a domineering answer, but if you make a judgment, you have to say that you are ugly, otherwise it is a complete pretense, right?

"It's hard to say when the plate was made, but the inscriptions in it can be concluded to be forged. The method of corrosion should be used, at most decades.

Use nitric acid or ferric chloride to corrode. Follow the strokes and strokes on the surface of the plate. Most of the bronze inscriptions in the past two weeks are cast in one piece with the utensils, and there are fewer engravings.

If you use a knife, chisel, or a knife to engrave the fake characters, it will easily leave traces of the knife. If you use the corrosion method, this problem can be removed.

However, the corrosion method is not perfect. A carelessness will leave some flaws. For example, the strokes are too fat, or the strokes can’t come out. "

Speaking of this, Zhang Nan's eyes were already very close to the plate, pointing to the few inscriptions on the top, and said: "I think the inscription on this plate is based on the rubbings of the Xijia Pan Zhenming in the "Three Dynasties Ji Jin Wen Cun", but... .

You see, the "A" in the fourth line and the "Zu" in the tenth line are obviously a bit too corroded, and the strokes are not all out.

And the "Wujiang" in the thirteenth line is completely out of writing.

The thickness of the stroke is uneven when the strong acid is injected. However, it is rare to see the copy of the real inscription rubbings on the Xijia plate. If you don't have it, you can easily be fooled if you can't compare it.

Good things are hard to find, and sellers won’t wait for others. How can I find time to compare rubbings..."

These words are in the heart of Boss Ma.

"I'm the real one, I'll remember it after watching it a few times, so it's easy to distinguish it."

This is on demand, acquaintances, I will tell you when I am in a good mood.

""Three Generations of Ji Jin Wen Cun"?"

Boss Ma puzzled: What book is this?

Hearing this question, Zhang Nan said helplessly: "I said Boss Ma, we didn't know each other for a day or two.

You make a fortune by making bronzes. We never ask more about the origin of this object, and it has nothing to do with me.

Ancient cultural relics are selfish. Even if you don’t do it, other people will do it. No one can completely ban it.

However, relying only on my own experience and not reading more books and materials for reference can cause a lot of loss when you walk.

Our business is saying that it is not to open for three years, and to eat for three years, but it is not enough to take a glance!

Nobody’s money is brought by the wind, isn’t it..."

It is said that if the antique transaction goes wrong, according to the old rules, it would be bad luck. However, Zhang Nan does not think that Boss Ma is trying to deceive himself: Not only is it not guilty to offend himself, the big gold master, for an object, he cannot bear to deceive himself and be deceived again. The consequences of discovering the truth!

The old rule is "in terms of equality." If the status of the buyer and seller is too far apart, the ghost believes that it will be unlucky.

"...This "Three Dynasties Ji Jin Wen Cun" was compiled by Luo Zhenyu, the pioneer of modern Chinese agriculture and the founder of modern archaeology in the 1930s~www.wuxiaspot.com~ It contains more than four thousand rubbings of Shang and Zhou bronze inscriptions, nearly five. Thousand pieces, it is a collection of bronze inscriptions and rubbings of higher quality in the 1930s."

"Mr. Zhang, do you have the original of this book?"

Zhang Nan shook his head slightly and said, "I don't have it. My cousin has it, but you don't think about the original. I look hard.

In addition to the rubbings and catalogues in the original edition, there are vacancies in the descriptions about the shape, unearthed, description, collection, and textual research, and the classification is not appropriate.

In 1983, the Zhonghua Book Company published a new edition. At the end of the book is the "Three Dynasties Ji Jin Wen Cunzhen Zheng" by the modern ancient writing master Sun Zhicu, which discusses the relevant issues of the original book one by one, and also corrects some errors in the original edition.

What I am watching is also a new version. You can ask someone to buy it in the mainland. There should be a way to get it. "
