    This is a pair of yellow amber pendants. The quality is quite good, and the carving is also very good. There are three plump longans on a branch, and the magpie is perched on the branch. It is called "Good News Three Yuan".

    In the ancient imperial examination system, the first place in the provincial examination, the general examination, and the palace examination were Jieyuan, Huiyuan, and Zhuangyuan respectively. "Good news for three yuan" means that the consecutive rankings of Jieyuan, Huiyuan, and Zhuangyuan are good luck for those who participate in the imperial examination.  A message or congratulatory message.

    This pair of amber pendants is of excellent quality, coupled with skillful workmanship, it can be considered top-grade.  Meng Zitao didn't notice what was wrong with the pair of pendants at first, but because of Teacher Tang's reminder, he felt a little unnatural when he took a closer look.  But for a while I couldn't find what went wrong.

    Meng Zitao observed for a while, took out some tools from his bag, and studied them carefully for a while, then shook his head and said with a smile: "The author of these pendants is really high-level, and the skin attached to them can actually  It is so natural that it is difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, and the joining phenomenon can only be seen under a magnifying glass.¡±

    When saying this, Meng Zitao also lamented that the author was so thoughtful that he could think of such a method of forgery.

    During the formation process of amber, due to weathering, a darker skin is formed on the surface. Its pretty color can be used when processing carvings to make the work more vivid.

    For these two works, when the amber product has irremovable flaws during carving, or there are certain problems with the raw materials itself, natural stone skin is used to paste the skin on the flaws, such as a leaf, a flower, or  It is a small animal that makes the work "icing on the cake".

    Although this method can beautify the appearance of amber, it leaves artificial traces after all. Some people may be able to accept this improvement in beauty, but most Chinese people still prefer the purity of nature.

    Of course, as long as the merchants tell the truth about the product conditions, so that amber lovers can choose the one that suits them, that¡¯s okay.  However, there are always some profiteers who do this deliberately in order to make more money, or even know it without telling them. This kind of thing is quite a headache, and it is estimated that many people will be fooled by it.

    Fortunately, Meng Zitao believes that there are not many people who are as skilled in craftsmanship as this pair of pendants, otherwise many people will definitely be fooled.

    "That still can't get past your sharp eyes."

    Teacher Tang laughed, but was a little surprised in his heart. To be honest, he only noticed the skin problem after listening to his friend's advice. Although Meng Zitao also listened to his reminder, he could see it with his own eyesight.  His eyesight was also very good, but this also confirmed his guess that Meng Zitao should have studied in a famous family, which was why he took out this pair of amber pendants.

    Meng Zitao waved his hand and said modestly: "Where, if I hadn't been reminded by you, I might not have been able to tell."

    Speaking of this, he asked curiously: "Teacher Tang, do you know the origin of these pendants?"

    Teacher Tang said: "This pair of pendants was actually given to me by my friend. According to him, this kind of thing has appeared sporadically on the market, and many collectors have been fooled. Moreover, he also has an amber ornament with a sticker.  The craftsmanship of the leather is even more exquisite, the joint surface is very tight, leaving only a very small gap, which can only be seen clearly under a high-power microscope."

    "Fortunately, since the skin that exactly matches the carvings is hard to come by, what is currently seen on the market is that the skin is applied to the flatter areas of the carvings, which is easier to recognize. Speaking of which, various counterfeiting methods are changing with each passing day.  , if you don¡¯t visit the market often, it won¡¯t be long before you buy fakes as genuine ones.¡±

    At the end of the sentence, Teacher Tang couldn¡¯t help but sigh, and seemed quite worried about this form.

    Meng Zitao didn't care whether his emotions were true or false, and took over the words: "Speaking of which, I also learned about a method of forging amber not long ago. A special yellow wax is coated on the surface of amber, which can make it fake.  The color of the amber becomes more vivid but appears unnatural compared to the color of natural amber.¡±

    "However, it is worth noting that this kind of colored wax is not easy to detect with an infrared spectrometer, so it will slip through the net if you are not careful."

    Teacher Tang was a little surprised: "Is there such a way? How to identify it?"

    Meng Zitao replied: "If you have experience, you can gently push with the tip of a needle, and the yellow wax will shift or fall off. Darker yellow wax-enriched areas can also be seen in micro-cracks, pits, etc. on the surface.  "

    ¡°I see, thanks to you, I learned another skill today.¡±

    "me too."

    The two of them looked at each other and smiled, and then started chatting in random ways. Teacher Tang didn¡¯t tell her why he invited Meng Zitao over, and Meng Zitao didn¡¯t ask.??Everyone is just spending it to see who brings it up first.

    But in the end, Teacher Tang couldn't wait any longer and asked Meng Zitao to sit down first. He got up and went to the back room to get something out.

    The things were placed in a huge brocade box. Teacher Tang asked Meng Zitao to see it first. Meng Zitao was polite and opened the brocade box.

    "I saw a piece of jade inside, but its shape was a bit rare. It was a long-lasting jade.

    The …F is a utensil used by princes and nobles to wash and water water before holding sacrificial ceremonies and important ceremonial activities during the ancient Chinese fortnight; "Zuo Zhuan. The Twenty-Third Years of Duke Xi" (637 BC) has a record of "serving the …Fwo basin"  .  In the early stage, it was made of bronze.  After the Han Dynasty, gold and silver ware, lacquer ware, and jade ware appeared as drinking utensils.

    A silver coin was unearthed from the tomb of Liu Sheng, Prince Jing of Zhongshan during the Western Han Dynasty, unearthed in 1968.  This is a small pot with a long spout similar to this jade one. The body of the pot is oblate, has a handle, and has a lid. This silver utensil was finally confirmed to be used for pouring medicine into critically ill mute patients after repeated research.  "Pharmaceutical dispenser".

    In the medical literature "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" written by Zhang Zhongjing of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there are records of administering medicine to treat comatose patients.  This shows that as early as the Western Han Dynasty, the ancients were inspired by the shape of the water-carrying utensil "…F" and invented utensils for administering medicine to rescue seriously ill children who were silent or disobedient.

    The method of using this thing is to hold the patient's chin, use the long and pointed beak to pry a small gap between the patient's upper and lower teeth, and then lift the hand to pour the medicine in.  Among the medical instruments of later generations of traditional Chinese medicine, there are also silver, copper, porcelain and other similar medicine-filling vessels for pouring medicine into comatose patients.

    But to be honest, Meng Zitao had never seen a long flowing jade before. The body of this jade is in the shape of an oval flat pot, with a long and thin stream and a loop, and a button and loop on the cover, encircling the sole of the foot;  The length of the circumference is about 20 centimeters, of which the flow length accounts for almost half of the length. The thickness of the circumference wall is as thin as a piece of paper.

    The top surface of the cover button is embossed with a four-petal persimmon pedicle pattern in low relief, and the center of the persimmon pedicle pattern is engraved with a three-pointed cloud pattern on the negative line; the cover surface is decorated with a circle of negative line patterns; the cover is the head of a chi dragon.

    The body and the outside of the long stream are also decorated with a circle of negative lines; the hands are chilongs with double symmetrical hollow bodies occupying the mouth; the inside of the waist is plain without lines; the soles of the feet are slightly turned outward.

    ??The ancients used a whole piece of white jade to carve it carefully, with smooth lines, smooth polishing, and exquisite craftsmanship.  The colorful colors deep into the texture record the vicissitudes of more than two thousand years.  Meng Zitao could tell at a glance that this was an unearthed jade artifact that was of great significance to the times.

    However, this thing must have been unearthed quite a while ago. There is already a layer of patina on the surface, indicating that it must be a jade artifact unearthed from ancient times.

    Teacher Tang asked with a smile: "I guess I can recognize what this is, right?"

    Meng Zitao put the things back into the box and replied: "This is Changliu. There are more copper ones, but I have never seen jade ones before."

    "Oh, does that person think the door can't be opened?" Teacher Tang looked at Meng Zitao with a keen eye.

    Meng Zitao took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Well, it can only be said that benevolence is in the eye of the beholder, and wisdom is in the eye of the beholder. I wonder how much you want this thing to cost?"

    Teacher Tang smiled slightly. Since Meng Zitao asked that, the answer was obvious. He smiled and said, "Actually, there is another artifact down there. You can talk about the rest after you look at it first."

    Meng Zitao was originally a little curious as to why a small Changliu was placed in such a large brocade box. He took out the wooden board in the middle and found that inside was an even rarer artifact than the Changliu.

    This is a black lacquer disc, made of wood, divided into upper and lower parts.  There is a circular hole connecting the two plates in the center.  Six dots are engraved on the front of the upper plate, which are connected with the center hole of the plate to form the image of the Seven Stars of the North Dagger.  There are light cross marks across the circle, dividing the disk into four equal parts.  There are 365 small round holes densely drilled around the edge of the plate, none of which can penetrate.  The names and distances of the twenty-eight stars are engraved on the lower plate counterclockwise with unequal distances. The names of the stars are directly connected to the small round holes on the upper plate.

    In the 1970s, a similar piece of lacquerware was unearthed from the Han Dynasty Tomb of Xiahou Zao, Ruyinhou. The stars and distances engraved on the disk are consistent with the data and names recorded in "Gan Shi Star Scripture" and "Kaiyuan Divination Scripture". It is a new discovery in my country¡¯s astronomical archeology.

    Presumably this disc is from a similar period, but compared to the one discovered earlier, apart from being larger in size, this disc is in perfect condition and looks like it was made not long ago.

    However, Meng Zitao obviously would not simply think that it was a fake, because if it had been buried in a relatively closed environment, the preservation environment was good, and it had not been unearthed for a long time, it would behave like this.

    Moreover, when Meng Zitao saw this twenty-eight constellations disk, he felt that there seemed to be a mysterious force in the disk attracting him, but when he used his powers, there was no reaction. It felt like you  There is something clearly in front of me. I want to reach out and grab it but I can't. It's very frustrating.

    However, Meng Zitao knew that his intuition would not deceive him. In addition, judging from the various performances of the disk, it should be a genuine product.  As for the origin of this thing, based on Teacher Tang's other identity, it goes without saying which ancient tomb it should have been dug out of.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)??There is something clearly in front of you, but you want to reach out and grab it but you just can't.
