Chapter 802 Dean Sima's excitement and doubts (continued)

Since Dean Sima can become the dean of the largest museum in the country, he must have learned a lot. Therefore, after a while, he put away his shocked expression and became a little excited.

"Old Fei, I don't remember any ancient books mentioning the material used for the Liangliang Qin. Could it be that its material is so special that it can be preserved for two thousand or hundreds of years without much change?"

"I think it's the same!" Fei Lao nodded again and again: "Let's analyze it this way. First of all, the later generations gave King Zhuang of Chu a high evaluation. How good is the sound quality?"

"As for the guqin with such a good sound quality, how likely do you think it is to be made of paulownia and catalpa? And although paulownia and catalpa are popular materials for the guqin, it is not that there are no other materials that can be substituted, such as It has long been recorded that pine is used to make pianos."

"To sum up, I think the qin uses a special kind of wood, and it is possible that this kind of wood can last for a long time..."

The guqin in our country has always been mainly used for self-entertainment or as an accompaniment instrument for qin and songs, unlike the violin and other instruments in Western symphonies, which require a relatively uniform sound and timbre.Therefore, regardless of whether the palace or the folk are making pianos, they often use materials according to the location. For example, old materials or even bored materials that have been converted from millennium-old corridors or ancient houses. The wood is dry and has excellent sound transmission and resonance. Qin players often regard them as treasures.

Therefore, in addition to the commonly used tung catalpa, the wood of many ancient famous qin is also commonly used materials such as pine, fir, poplar, willow, catalpa, linden, mulberry, and cypress. It is said: "When it is dark and rainy at dusk, the voice is not silent."But no matter what kind of material is used, the requirement of wood must be that it is better for a long time.

Guqin is made of various materials, so the sound quality, timbre, and nature are quite different. For example, the pronunciation includes: clear, thick, loose, simple, etc., which are rich and colorful. It is indeed a major feature of our country's Guqin!
The "Mengxi Bi Tan" of the Song Dynasty said: "In terms of Qin, although they are all clear and solid, there are heavy voices and soft voices, and the material has five tones." From this, it can be seen that the material is closely related to the timbre of the guqin.

For example, Fei Lao said just now that pine is used to make qin. Qin Shuyin (Huan Ji) said: (Tang) Lei Wei did not have to use tung to make qin. In the event of a strong snowstorm, he went to Emei alone to drink, put on a coir hat, and entered the deep pine. If you listen to its melodious sound and cut it down, it will be better than a tung for a qin."

Chu Chen also knew something about the pine wood piano. Like before, he encountered an ancient house in the capital to be demolished, leaving behind a lot of wood. This kind of wood is usually mostly pine wood.Some qin makers will specifically choose this kind of wood qin. It is said that the sound of the made qin is loose, pure and strong.

"Mr. Fei, that means, this Guqin is likely to be a Liangqin?" Dean Sima said excitedly.

Fei Lao said with a smile: "Whether it is a qin or not, you have to use the instruments in your yard to identify it, and then repair it, and listen to its timbre. Only the instrument identification is definitely not enough!"

After all, instruments can only roughly judge the age of things. It is impossible to say that I can tell that this guqin must be a qin with a certain instrument.After all, the instrument is an auxiliary tool in the identification of antiques, which has its limitations. In the identification of antiques, the judgment of experts is still indispensable.

Then, Fei Lao joked again with a smile: "Sima, I've known you for so many years, why haven't I seen you so rough before!"

Dean Sima chuckled and said, "This is a guqin that is likely to be a zither, can I not be anxious? Besides, if I don't believe it, you don't need to be anxious!"

Fei Lao said with a smile: "Since everyone is impatient, then sign the agreement, you should study it quickly..."

Next, the three of them signed an agreement in great detail, mainly regarding the integrity of the guqin, and made many regulations. For example, when Dean Sima was doing research, he could not damage the guqin for convenience. etc.

Of course, since Dean Sima was asked to appraise, Chu Chen had to give some benefits. Specifically, Dean Sima did not ask for any funds, but asked Chu Chen to agree to exhibit the guqin in the museum for a period of time.Of course, Chu Chen would not have any opinion on this, and readily agreed.

In fact, if Dean Sima wanted to buy this guqin according to his original intention, it must be extremely difficult to buy an antique from Chu Chen. Don't think about it.

After signing the agreement, Dean Sima picked up the guqin, impatiently preparing to take it back to the laboratory for identification.

Seeing this situation, Mr. Fei stopped nagging, smiled and sent the two of them to the door.

After greeting Mr. Fei, Chu Chen said to the eager Dean Sima, "Dean Sima, are you here today by car?"

"Oh! When I came, I happened to be outside. A friend sent me here." Dean Sima replied.

"Your friend's car seems to have left when it arrived just now?"

"Yes!"

"Why don't I take you back, or you won't be able to get the Guqin."

"Row!"

After all, it is a valuable guqin, and it is not too convenient to take a taxi or squeeze the bus. Seeing what Chu Chen said, Dean Sima was not pretentious, and directly agreed.

Seeing that he agreed, Chu Chen took him to his car and asked as he walked, "President Sima, you said just now that Fei Yu used Lao Fei's appraisal certificate to make a fake certificate, so how could the other party do it?" You can see it right away?"

Dean Sima laughed when he heard that, and said, "Actually, this matter has something to do with you."

"It has something to do with me?" Chu Chen was a little confused by these words.

"Yes!" Dean Sima couldn't help but said, "Because your name is written on that certificate!"

Chu Chen couldn't figure out such an answer, he was dumbfounded and said, "How could there be my name... Oh!"

Seeing Chu Chen's dazed look, Dean Sima smiled and said, "How about it, figure it out!"

Chu Chen nodded. It is indeed possible that he has been on the Beijing Television Station's "Collection of the World", and the experts wrote his name.But Fei Yu clearly said that his things were appraised in March last year. At that time, he was still an unknown person. Let alone "Collection of the World", even in Panjiayuan, not many people knew him, and Fei Yu didn't know what it was. How long, it will write him up!
"You think it's strange!" Dean Sima shook his head and laughed, "The reason why this kind of thing happened is mainly because the person who gave the false testimony was your admirer, and he subconsciously wrote your name on it. Yu, how could he, an ignorant guy, know that you only appeared on the show in January..."
