Extremely charming life

Gao Shaoyu knew that Zheng Taihua had begun to train himself with heart, so he didn't dare to be careless immediately, but he was also confident, and he absorbed the basic anti-counterfeiting skills of the short man yesterday, so he quickly had his own judgment in his mind.

"The flowing glaze of Ding porcelain is often in a strip shape, like weeping tears, also called tear marks, and tear marks appeared on Ding kiln porcelain in the Northern Song Dynasty. Such characteristics did not exist in the Tang Dynasty and even the Five Dynasties, so this should be the white phoenix head fired by the Ding kiln in the Song Dynasty Pot." Gao Shaoyu still looked carefully and made his own judgment.

"Is that Southern Ding or Northern Ding?" Zheng Taihua nodded and asked with a smile.

"The surface of the white phoenix-head pot is decorated with patterns, and the decoration techniques include scratching, engraving, and printing from the early Northern Song Dynasty to the late Northern Song Dynasty. I took a closer look and found that the white phoenix-head pot should be the latter's printing method." After Gao Shaoyu took a look, he didn't hurry up, as if he had a plan in his chest.

"Printing began in the middle of the Northern Song Dynasty and matured in the late period. The printed patterns are all layered, clear, complex and not chaotic. The main theme is flowers, with peonies and lotus as the most, followed by chrysanthemums. There are also broken branches, and the pattern is symmetrical, very delicate and exquisite, with the delicacy and powdery air of a woman." Gao Shaoyu nodded with a smile and said: "Business girls don't know the hatred of subjugation, and they still sing flowers across the river. They are so extravagant and lustful. Lao's decoration method is only the Southern Song Dynasty, which did not think about returning to the country after crossing the river, and it was made by the Ding kiln in Jingdezhen, so it is Nanding."

"Yes, Xiao Gao, you know how to use historical sources to distinguish the origin and authenticity of porcelain. It seems that you have not been lazy these days." Zheng Taihua's eyes lit up, and he nodded happily.

"The more I learn in the antique industry, the more I realize that what I know is far from enough, so I can only work hard." Gao Shaoyu nodded seriously, even though he had obtained the basic anti-counterfeiting skills, he also found that it was not enough.

"You are still young, and you still have great opportunities for growth." Zheng Taihua encouraged with a smile, looked at the first chai kiln porcelain vase, and then looked at the white phoenix head pot: "the chai kiln bottle is gone!" Bottom line, it will take some time to fill in the gaps. After all, the tiles from the firewood kiln are very valuable, and the technique of burning paper is also very complicated. Let’s put it aside for now. As for the spout of the white phoenix-shou pot, it is not difficult to repair. I know someone who knows the firing technique of Ding Kiln."

Gao Shaoyu's face beamed with joy. If he could fill in the gap, he would be very happy.

Then began to look at other calligraphy and painting works, and then the mood of the two of them was not as good as it was at first, and they both looked heavy, because the damage of calligraphy and painting works was far more serious than that of porcelain.

"Fortunately, the damage to the seven-character poem fan is not too serious, and it is relatively easy to repair." Zheng Taihua sighed, but pointed to a picture of fairy osmanthus made by Emperor Qianlong next to him, then shook his head and said: "More than half The area is completely wasted, but fortunately the paper used for painting by Emperor Qianlong’s imperial brush has been specially treated, and the high-quality rice paper was selected, so it was not completely wasted, which is also a fluke.”

"Do you want to use the method of exposing?" Gao Shaoyu frowned suddenly.

"Unfolding is one method, but this area has obviously been soaked in water. I am worried that the rice paper will be glued together. It is still very difficult to uncover the upper layers and restore the whole picture below." Zheng Taihua said solemnly. "Are you sure you want to give it a try?"

"More than half of it is useless, so let's expose it." Gao Shaoyu nodded and said.

"Okay, it's more troublesome to unframe it. I will find someone to help, and the result will be there in about two or three days." Zheng Taihua nodded and said, finally looked at another scroll, and wiped it with his hands suddenly. He frowned.

Gao Shaoyuhu's face brightened, it seemed that his guess was right, this painting was really weird, and he brought this painting back to Juan because of his trust in Zhang Chu Laozi.

Because the heavy feeling that this painting gave him was relatively obscure, even now it was faintly visible, and he didn't understand the reason at the time, but after absorbing the basic anti-counterfeiting skills, he also found that the surface seemed to be tampered with.

"It's interesting, it's a stacked picture." Zheng Taihua touched his chin suddenly and nodded.

Gao Shaoyu also stared at the past. It was rare to see Zheng Taihua being so cautious. He was also very interested in this painting. It is rare to encounter overlapping pictures in antique shops, and it is an exciting thing to encounter one.

Overlapping pictures is a very advanced technique. It is based on the original calligraphy and painting with special pen and ink. Therefore, the two paintings are on the same layer of paper, and it is difficult to disassemble them later.

"Drawing a set of paintings can't be done by just uncovering a page. It has been completely fitted together, so it is difficult to uncover." Zheng Taihua nodded and said, looking at Gao Shaoyu suddenly: "Xiao Gao, what do you have?" opinion?"

"This painting was specially processed by someone on the original work. There is a feeling that the mountains are not mountains, and the water is not water. It should be the so-called stacking technique in the antique industry."

"When I first got it, I thought it was an old Qing Dynasty Luopin's sparse shadow cross-slope map, but after a closer look, I found that it is not that simple."

Gao Shaoyu glanced at Zheng Taihua, found that after he signaled himself to continue talking, he said in a deep voice: "Finally, I found that part of the layout in the scroll is different from Luo Pin's style. Luo Pin is a student of Master Jinnong. He draws figures, draws Landscapes are especially famous for painting ghosts, so even if his flowers are thick branches of plum blossoms with sparse shadows and horizontal angles, they often reveal a ghostly color, mainly dyed with thick ink, and the atmosphere is very gloomy and deep. .”

Gao Shaoyu pointed to a few thick plum blossom hairpins, and then pointed to other areas and said: "Manager Zheng, look at these places, there is no Luo Pin style at all, more of a strong and open momentum, It doesn't look like that kind of obscure and ghostly style, so I guess there is something weird in this painting, it should be two paintings, two authors, using overlapping painting techniques to cover part of the scroll."

"That's right. Calligraphy and painting is a very profound ability in terms of style. Xiao Gao, I have to think highly of you. You can see so thoroughly. It seems that you have been in the antique industry for many years. It seems that after a few years Then I can retire and let you be the treasurer of Bao Renxuan." Zheng Taihua raised his eyebrows suddenly, showing excitement, as if he was more happy than discovering an antique treasure.

Scarce antiques are as precious as potential antique talents. Discovering one may be a turning point in the rise and fall of an antique shop.

Why are good and bad antique shops in modern times so fast declining? It’s not that there are no good items, things are always in circulation, and there are no less.

The only thing missing is a good treasurer who understands antiques.

In ancient times, the shopkeepers trained by antique shops were all 30-year apprentices, 50-year attendants, and [-]-year assistants. They spent more than [-] years in their teens, and only when they were almost [-] years old did they have the opportunity to become the big shopkeeper of a shop. Therefore, while the big shopkeeper of the antique shop has a good reputation, he has also gone through a lot of sweat and hard work.

Nowadays, people are too hasty, so there are fewer and fewer good antique shopkeepers.

"Manager Zheng, you praise me too much. I still have a lot to learn." Gao Shaoyu shook his hand humbly and said.
