golden ear

Chapter 173
The reason is that after the RB invading army occupied our land, they used all means to collect exquisite art treasures handed down from China for thousands of years.Naturally, this kind of thing was resisted by the entire Chinese collectors and art circles at that time, but most of them were powerless and powerless, and they could not compete with the powerful, tyrannical and cruel RB army at that time.So at that time everyone got together and thought of a way, which was to fake.

The person who came up with this trick at the beginning was a kiln worker named Zhou from the Imperial Kiln Factory who came out of the Imperial Kiln Factory of the Qing Dynasty. This person's ancestors were craftsmen of the Royal Kiln Factory for several generations. .

In ancient Chinese history, although craftsmen and artists possessed superb skills, their social status was not very high, only a little better than that of the lower class.Children are also unable to study, take the imperial examination to become an official, and can only be a craftsman from generation to generation, father to son.

Therefore, these people are generally not from rich and noble families, guarding the kiln factory, it is inevitable to guard and steal.Steal some porcelain and sell it to subsidize the family.As a craftsman of the Royal Kiln Factory, the stolen porcelain is naturally a royal tribute.Of course, they will not take those perfect tribute porcelains, just those porcelains that are slightly flawed and ordered to be destroyed are enough for them to benefit endlessly.

Of course, these tribute porcelains are too ambitious to sell, so many of them are left in the hands of some kiln workers.It even exists as an heirloom.

Later, the news that the Zhou family had a collection of rare porcelain reached the ears of the RB people, and soon the RB army came to the door, threatening the lives of Zhou's family and forcibly demanding these porcelains.However, the porcelain left by these ancestors is worth thousands of gold, and the artisans are naturally unwilling to hand over the heirlooms left by these ancestors at the risk of their lives to RB people for nothing.But the lives of his family members had to be saved. After thinking about it, this person came up with a way to cheat!
Relying on the kiln firing and porcelain making skills handed down from his ancestors, the imitation products fired by this person are almost the same as the real ones. After asking someone to make them old, he handed over the batch of fake porcelain to RB people.Not only the treasures passed down from the ancestors were preserved, but also the lives of the family members were saved, avoiding a catastrophe.

This person is also somewhat chivalrous, and when his acquaintances also encountered this situation, he did not hide his secrets, and secretly passed on this method.Later, word of mouth spread, and more and more people received this favor, and everyone thought it was a good way.

At the beginning, the method that was only circulated among the skilled royal porcelain makers slowly spread to the painting and calligraphy circles and collection circles at that time.Even Qi Baishi, Xu Beihong, Lin Fengmian, the well-known masters of traditional Chinese painting at that time, all followed this way and preserved a large number of artistic treasures of the Chinese nation. "

As for leaving a mark on the work, it is a rule, and those who are capable generally think highly of themselves.In addition, when making these fakes, in order to be able to hide the truth from the RB people and save the lives of the family members.So even though it is a counterfeit, everyone puts extra effort, and the things they make are naturally the best of the best.Such a good thing must be left with a mark to facilitate future identification.

These works with the word "Zhou" inscribed are also called Zhou Fang, but they only appeared during the Anti-Japanese War, and basically disappeared after the country was liberated.So now more than 90.00% of things are in RB, and only a few are still in China.

The old man sighed and said: "Since you know the origin of Zhou Fang, let me tell the truth, I am the heir, and it is not accurate to say that I am the heir. This is the forgery that my ancestors participated in back then, and the craftsmanship has been passed down, but I just imitated calligraphy and painting. Nothing else."

Wu Tianyuan moved in his heart and said, "Do you have any other works?"

The old man took out three more paintings, one for Shi Tao and two for Yun Shouping, all of them were famous people. Wu Tianyuan looked at them for a while, and his level was no worse than Tan Jing's!
Wu Tianyuan looked at the dilapidated house. The grandpa and grandson were not living well, and tentatively said: "It is also fate that the old man met today. I admire your craftsmanship, I don't know..."

The old man suddenly said loudly: "Don't say any more! This time Xiaoling carried me to Boss Wu's shop, mainly because she was curious if you were as amazing as you said on TV? Here is money, intact, but if you let me Go fake, I'd rather go to jail!"

"It's all my fault, don't arrest my grandpa, arrest me!"

Excited, Xiaoling pulled Wu Tianyuan and begged, "At worst, I'll give you a part-time job, and I'll just pay off the debt!"

"Don't get excited, listen to me!"

Wu Tianyuan and Wang Jun looked at each other, and said with a smile: "There are rules in the antique business, and it's shameful to drill eyes. Can I deny this? Don't get excited, old man. Since your ancestors have experienced that period of misery, is it possible that your craftsmanship is wasted like this? "

"What do you mean?"

Seeing the puzzled look of the old man, Wu Tianyuan said in a low voice, "I want to continue to deceive little RB with your paintings!"

At present, Wu Tianyuan briefly talked about the cooperation with the Shanzhong family, even including the process of using Tan Jing to imitate Yasuda last time, the old man's blood boiled when he heard it.

"Good boy, I didn't expect that although you are not a descendant of Zhou Fang, you have already walked ahead of us!"

The old man was excited, grabbed Wu Tianyuan's hand, and tremblingly said: "My grandfather has no great skills in his life, and he told me to inherit his career when he died. If he can deceive RB once, it will be regarded as good deeds. Unfortunately, I have never had a chance..."

"Isn't this a ready-made opportunity, old man, I am a member of the country, and Wu Tianyuan is working for the country, you can rest assured about that."

Wang Hong took out her ID card, and the bright five-pointed star convinced the old man completely, and she became even more excited.

"Do you think this is good? I have a museum, let's go there to talk first. I still have a lot of Tan Jingfang's seals in my hand, all of which were made by Hu Jing, and it will be more helpful to you in the future."

"You still have Hu Jing's seal, let me see it!"

Without further ado, the old man took Xiaoling to the museum and went through all the exhibition halls, especially the Old Summer Palace. Tears welled up in the old man's eyes.

"You kid is really proud of your ancestors! From now on, my old life will be yours!"

Wu Tianyuan hurriedly stopped and said, "It's really nothing. If you don't mind me, I will arrange a place for you in the future, and I will copy the original works in the museum for you. As for the future use, don't worry, if you have the opportunity, you will not waste it."

"Okay, with Hu Jing's seal, so many authentic works, my paintings are more sure!"

Wu Tianyuan asked Sun Yuyao to help buy a two-bedroom apartment nearby, and arranged for the grandpa and grandson to live in it. Except for them, this matter was strictly kept secret. In the future, a few high imitations would be released regularly to deal with little devils.

After Wu Tianyuan arranged everything, he brought three paintings to Mr. Ouyang for appraisal. If he could even fool him, he would be invincible!
"Strange! This painting is so strange!"

Old man Ouyang looked at it for a long time, and was very confused: "At first glance, it is the real product of Dakaimen, but after looking at it for a while, I always feel a little strange! But I can't figure out what is wrong, but my intuition is that there is something wrong with this painting!"

Wu Tianyuan asked: "What do you think is wrong? Seal? Inscription?"

"I can't tell! It's mainly the seal, this..."

Mr. Ouyang was really scratching his head. He told him that there was a problem with his decades of intuition, but if he really said one, two, three and couldn't tell clearly, he really encountered a problem.

"Boy, tell me quickly, what is the origin?"

Wu Tianyuan smiled and told the story, including his idea of ​​using Zhou Fang to deal with the RB people. Old man Ouyang frowned, and after a while he said, "Zhou Fang still has heirs? This brother Nangong is very good, if not There is something wrong with the seal, even I have to punch it!"

"Now that he has the seal of Hu Jingfang's celebrity of all dynasties, isn't that even more powerful?"

"Boy, I warn you!"

Old Man Ouyang said seriously: "You have a museum now, integrity is the most important thing, many people are watching your every move, you must be careful about deceiving people! I have no objection to your dealing with the little devil, it is rare to have this opportunity, but every time you make a move, you must be cautious. If everything passes through my eyes, or if I go directly to Nangong Mingyuan, I must be absolutely sure!"
