Seeing everyone looking at him, Meng Zitao cleared his throat and said, "Let's start with this jade medal called 'Bangs Playing with Toad'. The knife work on this jade medal is graceful and smooth, and the movements between the knife and the knife are clean and neat." , no stagnation, the use of lines is appropriate, the characters are vivid and accurate, and the layout is clever and reasonable."
"Generally speaking, the jade plaque is vivid and full of joy. It vividly tells the story of the bangs playing with the golden toad in the folklore. The jade quality is also high-quality Khotan white jade. It should have been produced by the Palace Building Office during the Qianlong period. It is a high-quality product. Conservatively estimated, the current market value is around 350,000 yuan.¡±
After listening to Meng Zitao¡¯s story, Feng Jiming smiled and was very satisfied with Meng Zitao¡¯s explanation.
Seeing this situation, Zhong Yanuo snorted coldly, with a look of disdain on his face.
Feng Jiming was about to confront him when he heard Meng Zitao make a brief comment on Zhong Yanuo's jade, saying: "Although this jade plaque is remarkable in terms of jade quality and carving work, in terms of In terms of Qinse, there are some problems."
Zhong Yanuo was startled when he heard this and asked hurriedly: "What's the problem!"
Meng Zitao said: "If I read it correctly, there is a difference between the clear color of jade and the real thing. The normal clear color on jade is generally distributed from the surface to the inside, with a sense of layering, agility and transparency. It looks very natural and comfortable. However, artificially dyed jade is dull and attached to the surface, with two layers of skin on the inside and outside, and no sense of hierarchy"
Zhong Yanuo couldn¡¯t wait to say: ¡°Why do I think it¡¯s so natural? Maybe you¡¯ve seen it wrong!¡±
Feng Jiming sneered: "Why is someone so anxious? Don't you even have time to wait for Teacher Meng to finish speaking?"
Zhong Yanuo said with a cold face: "None of your business!"
Feng Jiming smiled: "Hey, aren't you talking nonsense? It's none of my business, why am I sitting here!"
Shu Ze saw that the two of them were quarreling again, so he tried to smooth things over: "Okay, don't argue, can we let Zi Tao finish what he said first?"
Shu Ze¡¯s words still have to be listened to, but of course Zhong Yanuo and Feng Jiming don¡¯t have a good look on each other.
Meng Zitao shook his head secretly, and continued: "In addition to the unnatural color of this jade, the opaque color is also a problem. Of course, some ancient jades are opaque, but the edges and edges of this jade are opaque. The layers are also very clear, not as blurry as artificial dyeing.¡±
"In addition, there is another situation in the color of ancient jade. After the substances that enter or come into contact chemically react with the jade components of the ancient jade, the new substances formed can easily break away from the jade body, causing the ancient jade to be damaged. This image is called erosion or erosion.¡±
"In terms of style and other aspects, this jade is from the Yuan Dynasty. The authentic one has a history of more than 600 years. Generally speaking, only highly active or acidic and salty substances can be used for such a long time. It can penetrate the jade skin and enter the jade, and other substances can only be attached to the surface. But if it is this kind of substance, the jade cannot only have this bright color, and it cannot be corroded"
Meng Zitao pointed to a slightly corroded spot on the jade and explained to everyone that in short, according to normal circumstances, such a situation is generally impossible.
Zhong Yanuo refused to admit defeat and said: "I don't think what you said is wrong, but you also said that this is a general situation. Maybe I have a special reason?"
Meng Zitao felt that Zhong Yanuo was a bit unreasonable, but he didn't take it seriously. He pointed to the white Qin next to the yellow Qin on the surface of the jade plaque and said: "The layer above is similar to the white frost on grape skins, and is called lime. Qin, if the lime Qin is light, it will form a thin gray-white or blue-gray film on the surface of the jade, which takes four to five hundred years. In severe cases, the jade will begin to turn red, like a child's face, which is called ' It takes more than a thousand years to make baby noodles."
"The inside of this jade is already red, and it belongs to a relatively heavy lime. However, it has only been less than 700 years since the Yuan Dynasty. According to science, it is impossible to form such a heavy lime. In addition, the real Lime Qin, if you apply water to it, the Qin color will disappear, but after the water dries, the Qin color will appear again. Is it true or false? Let's give it a try."
With that said, Meng Zitao was about to get some pure water to try. Unexpectedly, Zhong Yanuo said with a gloomy face that there was no need to try. Then, he said goodbye to Shu Ze and stood up to leave.
At this time, Feng Jiming asked: "Hey, does what you said before still count?"
Zhong Yanuo looked at Feng Jiming and said expressionlessly: "I, Mr. Zhong, am not capable of playing such a rogue role. From now on, our past affairs will be wiped out. From now on, you can go your own way.He said angrily: "You can't even be friends if you act like this."
Shu Ze laughed and said: "I know you are a very loyal person, but I can't let you suffer. Besides, I have never thought of making money from your jade. If it weren't for some of the finished products, I would use them as favors. Otherwise, It won¡¯t be a problem if I help you sell it on your behalf.¡±
Meng Zitao said resolutely: "Forget it, it's not like you don't know the origin of this piece of jade. I'm very satisfied with being able to sell it for so much. Don't mention anything else, otherwise I will definitely get in trouble with you."
Sima Yuelan said: "Zitao, please don't refuse this, otherwise he will feel uncomfortable and ask me from time to time, how could he make such a mistake. If you agree to him, you can teach him a lesson."
Meng Zitao also knew that Shu Ze would show signs of perfection obsessive-compulsive disorder in some aspects and pursue perfection too much, so it was difficult for him to accept the error of judgment in this matter, and that was why he thought of compensating Meng Zitao more. to make up for his mistakes.
In fact, it was completely unnecessary for Meng Zitao, but thinking about Shu Ze's feelings, he still agreed.
Seeing Meng Zitao agree, Shu Ze suddenly felt relaxed and started talking and laughing again.
When lunch was almost over, Meng Zitao took out the statue of the longevity star in black jade. Shu Ze liked it very much after seeing it and thought it would definitely satisfy his grandfather.
After asking someone to send the money to Meng Zitao, Shu Ze said: "One of the photographers I introduced is still abroad and will take a flight back at night. How about we go to the other photographer's place first?"
"Are their places far away?"
¡°It¡¯s about half an hour¡¯s drive.¡±
Meng Zitao and He Wanyi discussed it and said, "In that case, let's go together tomorrow to avoid having to make a trip later."
"it's up to you."
Shu Ze didn¡¯t care about this, so everyone started chatting in random directions.
"By the way, I forgot one thing."
Shu Ze patted his forehead lightly and asked Meng Zitao, "Zitao, can you restore calligraphy and paintings?"
Meng Zitao said: "This cannot be generalized. Restoring calligraphy and paintings is difficult and easy. It depends on whose painting it is, how well it is preserved, etc. Only by understanding these issues can we know whether it can be restored and what the effect will be."
Shu Ze said: "If it is a huge painting, the preservation condition is indeed not very good, but to what extent it is, you have to see it in person to judge."
"What did you say?! Ju Ran's painting!" Meng Zitao's eyes got a little bigger when he heard this, looking very incredible.
Juran was a native of Zhongling. The exact year of his birth and death has been difficult to verify. It is only known that his main activity period was from the end of the Five Dynasties to the beginning of the Northern Song Dynasty. He was first a monk at Kaiyuan Temple in Zhongling, and later became famous because he was good at painting landscapes. He became a treasured guest of Li Yu, the later master of the Southern Tang Dynasty.
After the fall of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Li Yu surrendered to the Song Dynasty, and Ju Ran followed his master to Bianliang and lived in Kaibao Temple. Later, he painted murals in the north of the Yutang of the Academy of Sciences, which won praise from both the government and the public, and became famous in the Central Plains. In the history of painting, he is known as the four great masters together with Jing Hao, Guan Tong and Dong Yuan, and he has made great contributions to the development of landscape painting in my country.
However, after all, Ju Ran lived from the end of the Five Dynasties to the beginning of the Northern Song Dynasty. It has a history of more than a thousand years. Even paintings from the Song Dynasty are very rare in the market. Most of the ones that can be passed down to future generations have entered large museums. They are on the market. Once a painting from the Song Dynasty is unveiled, it is often sold at a high price or even a sky-high price, not to mention that it is from the late Five Dynasties to the early Northern Song Dynasty and is a work by the great painter Ju Ran!
Because of this, Meng Zitao was very surprised.
Shu Ze said: "I actually didn't believe that it was Ju Ran's work at first. But after I saw it, I realized that the whole painting is full of mountains, dense ridges, winding roads, dense structures and majestic scenery. It is very likely that it is indeed the work of Ju Ran. It is an authentic work of Ju Ran.¡±
