    Just as Meng Zitao was about to continue talking, Lu Jinde's wife Weng Meichen refuted it first: "Nonsense! What about smell and feeling? According to what you said, antique appraisal can distinguish authenticity by just smelling it? Isn't that blind?  You can also identify antiques, what a big joke!"

    "Hey, I wonder who stipulated that the authenticity of antiques cannot be judged by taste?" Meng Zitao felt that this woman was a little unreasonable, and why was her reaction so big? Did she buy this bronze mirror?

    Meng Zitao¡¯s guess was correct. Although Weng Meichen did not spend money on this bronze mirror, she did make the decision to buy it. Now that she heard that there was something wrong with the bronze mirror, her reaction was of course the biggest.

    Seeing that his daughter-in-law was still arguing, Lu Qingpeng became a little angry: "Do you know how to be polite? Are you so uneducated in front of guests?"

    "This bronze mirror is considered authentic by Teacher Jiang Guanshan. Is this person even better than Teacher Jiang?" Weng Meichen said weakly. At this time, her face turned a little pale because she suddenly thought, why doesn't my father-in-law have something else?  Meng Zitao was brought out to test this bronze mirror. Did he also think there was something wrong with this bronze mirror?

    Meng Zitao said calmly: "Not to mention that I don't know the teacher Jiang you are talking about. Eye-piercing is common in the antique industry. No expert can 100% guarantee that he will not do eye-pricking. Including me, the Jiang you are talking about is  It is normal for teachers to make mistakes occasionally. Therefore, no matter how reputable an expert in identifying antiques is, they still have to rely on evidence in the end."

    Since ancient times, there has been a saying of "eye science" in the appraisal of cultural relics, which relies on eyesight and the conscience of the industry.  However, in the face of huge interests, moral constraints pale and powerless.  Especially under the craze of national collections, appraisals often become "uncertain" due to many factors such as money, favors, and face.

    ??In the beginning, an expert¡¯s certificate was proof of authority.  Later, certificates were flying everywhere, and an appraisal certificate could be issued for tens of thousands of yuan. It was also quite common to even directly issue fake certificates and share the money with others.

    Meng Zitao didn't know who Jiang Guanshan Weng Meichen was talking about, nor what his level was, but he was certain that there was no well-known expert in China with this name. As for the Xiangjiang antique world, although he didn't know much about it, the top  There are only a few people in the area, and Jiang Guanshan is obviously not among them.

    Therefore, whether this Jiang Guanshan really has the ability, or he just talks about it, only those who have met him will know.

    Lu Qingpeng nodded and said, "Mr. Meng, please continue."

    "OK."

    Next, Meng Zitao gave a comprehensive explanation of this bronze mirror in terms of material, shape, craftsmanship, coating, etc.

    Lu Qingpeng listened attentively, applauded gently at the end, and said with a smile: "Mr. Meng spoke very well, very well, and he deserves to be Mr. Zheng's disciple!"

    "Thank you." Meng Zitao replied politely.

    Lu Qingpeng turned his head and said: "Meichen, remember not to listen to any bias in the future. Especially for such valuable items, you should ask more experts to judge."

    "Yes." Weng Meichen agreed awkwardly. At the same time, she also had a lot of resentment towards Meng Zitao, and she was even more dissatisfied with Wei Gang. As for the reason, she just thought that if Meng Zitao hadn't come over, she wouldn't  Such a shame.

    When Meng Zitao pointed out the problem with the bronze mirror just now, Lu Jinde had already taken out the pieces of porcelain to be identified one by one.

    Meng Zitao took a look and found that these pieces of porcelain were almost all small fine products. If calculated based on the market value of genuine products, their total price would be nearly three million.

    Lu Qingpeng said with a smile: "I would also like to ask Mr. Meng to help me take a look. If Xiaolu and the others were not deceived, forget it. Otherwise, there must be an explanation."

    "I will definitely do my best." Meng Zitao smiled and nodded, thinking to himself: "That's nice to say, that store has been closed down. Do you have the ability to catch the owner?"

    Then, Meng Zitao picked up a plum vase and found that there was something wrong with this first piece of porcelain. It was the high-imitation glaze used in the green material of the porcelain.

    "However, the next two pieces of porcelain are genuine, which is actually normal. If you bring them all fakes, the chance of being discovered will definitely be high. He is not a one-time deal, so he definitely can't do it so blatantly.

    Lu Jinde brought a total of five pieces of porcelain of various types, three of which had no problems and two of which had problems. However, the value of one of the fake porcelains was the sum of the three genuine ones. In other words, the other party adopted a strategy of focusing on the big and letting go of the small.  , which is also the most common among various types of scams.

    Meng Zitao put down the last piece of porcelain and was about to speak when the servantThere are many patterns based on grapes, and their meanings are also the same "auspicious fruit" nature.  However, the situation is different when it comes to blue and white porcelain from folk kilns.  During the Hongwu, Yong, and Xuan dynasties of the Ming Dynasty, grape patterns were almost invisible on folk kiln porcelain.  It was not until the beginning of Chenghua that grape patterns appeared in large numbers on folk kiln porcelain.  "

    "The grape patterns in folk kilns are very different from those in official kilns. They no longer highlight the auspicious appearance of grape fruits, but emphasize the branches, leaves, fruits, vines and other aspects of grapes. Obviously, the grape patterns painted in folk kilns  , the meaning is no longer the auspicious 'good luck', but something new. This can be confirmed by the relevant objects. You don't know it because you are completely ignorant!"

    Lu Qingpeng asked curiously: "Why is this?"

    Meng Zitao explained: "Actually, this is related to a historical figure named Yue Zheng."

    Yue Zheng, whose courtesy name was Jifang, had a rough life.  In the imperial examinations held in the 13th year of Orthodoxy, Yue Zheng ranked first in the Hui Examination and third in the Imperial Examination.  He was an upright official, bold and outspoken, and served as a cabinet bachelor.  Later, he was demoted for offending Shi Heng and Cao Jixiang, and was even exiled for a time.  It was not until the early years of Chenghua that Emperor Xianzong of the Ming Dynasty was reinstated and became an official again.  Yue Zheng loved painting, and was especially good at painting grapes. He once wrote an article "A Theory of Painting Grapes".

    Meng Zitao continued: "Yue Zheng summarized the meaning of grapes in "The Theory of Painting Grapes". From the characteristics of grapes' stems, joints, branches, leaves, vines, fruits, flavors, bends and extensions, etc., it was compared to a gentleman's conduct as a man and as an official.  Due moral character. Since Yue Zheng's 'grape theory' came out, grapes have become the image representative of 'gentlemen' and had a huge influence on the society of the Ming Dynasty. Many literati expressed their 'gentleman' feelings by painting grapes."

    "Grape patterns were widely used on folk kiln porcelain in the mid-to-late Ming Dynasty. It should be said that it has a lot to do with Yue Zheng's 'grape theory', and it also symbolizes a gentleman. The characteristics of these folk kiln grape patterns are the branches, leaves and vines of grapes.  , fruits, etc. are painted more fully, just to express all aspects of the gentleman's character mentioned in Yue Zheng's "Grape Theory"."

    What Meng Zitao said was reasonable and well-founded, and Xue Wenguang was also a little short of words, but in order to redeem himself, he found another reason: "You also said just now that during the Hongwu, Yong, and Xuan periods of the Ming Dynasty, grape patterns were almost not seen on folk kiln porcelain.  That¡¯s not to say there aren¡¯t any.¡±

    Meng Zitao sneered and said: "Thank you for telling me, what is the image of the grape pattern on this porcelain plate? It was basically developed from the folk kiln porcelain after Chenghua. Are you a god who can get the later patterns?"  Going to use it in the early Ming Dynasty?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
