Chapter 10 Pottery Figurines of the Han Dynasty 2
Chapter 10 of the Han Dynasty Pottery Fiction 2
The terracotta figurines playing musical instruments are a kind of rap figurines in ancient China. The classics and a kind of "sing You Opera" performed by Confucian scholars. The performance forms include speaking, singing, music, and music. They are somewhat similar to modern comedy. The rap figurines are also called storytelling figurines; for the "sing You Opera", the actors are called | You. Therefore, the rap figurines are also called | You. Because | You are all dwarfs, so the rap figurines are also called dwarf guide figurines.
The boss picked up the entire pottery figurine from the colored plastic bag and put it next to it. It really can't be said to "take it". Because the pottery figurine is half a meter tall. The boss said very politely: "Mr. Tang. You will give the appraisal." The name of the man is the Ershu. The boss who has watched the "Prosperous Collection" program wants to deceive Tang Feng again. He probably thinks about himself.
"Haha. Don't be polite. I just take a look." Tang Feng spoke. He approached the pottery figurine and began to observe it closely. The shape of this rap figurine looked very similar to the characters in the comics. The head was big, small, thick and short, and the figure was uneven. He looked very funny. He sat on the ground and wore a soft cloth crown on his head. He wrapped a long scarf around his forehead and put a knot similar to the headscarf of northern Shaanxi farmers. His forehead was covered with wrinkles, squinted with eyes, and his expression was lively and harmonious. It was shining and holding a musical instrument in both hands; his lower body was wearing trousers, barefoot, and his right foot was raised outward. It looked cute. This was what Lin Muyu said.
When Tang Feng saw the shape of this pottery figurine, he knew that this was a Eastern Han Dynasty saying that the pottery figurines of the Han Dynasty were very different from those of the Qin Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty.
The terracotta figurines in the Qin Dynasty were mostly military materials. The Terracotta Warriors and Horses were the representatives. After the transition from the Western Han Dynasty, the ubuds and music figurines became the mainstream. The styling objects changed from soldiers and horses to dancers, servants, farmers and rap performers. | The most famous terracotta figurines in the Tang Dynasty began to develop into painted pottery was Tang Sancai.
After the appearance was broken, the wind began to observe the pottery's pottery. The surface of the pottery was mottled, the color was simple, and the dull gray color was slightly vermilion red. In terms of color, there was no problem. The color characteristics showed that this was a typical gray pottery. The production process of gray pottery was higher than that of red pottery; to give a simple example. The wall bricks commonly used in modern times are red bricks and red bricks, and the price of red bricks is lower than that of gray bricks. Because the strength of gray bricks is higher than that of red bricks.
But from the perspective of the overall process of the pottery industry, the production process of gray pottery is relatively simple. Its firing principle is: after the acacia carton is put into the kiln, it is burned with a reduction flame. The iron compound of the pottery carton is reduced to divalent iron to make the pottery carton look excellent. The firing temperature of gray pottery is generally around 80 to 900 degrees Celsius. Although the production process in the Eastern Han Dynasty could completely increase the firing temperature to above 1100 degrees Celsius. However, this will increase the cost and reduce the production rate and is not suitable for mass production.
Later, Tang Feng looked at the details of this pottery figurine carefully. There was no trace of connection, which means that this was a hollow whole. Anyone who has been playing the art of the pottery figurine should know that large pottery is hollow. Solid and easy to crack. Of course, there are still solid large pottery figurines. But they must be fired in sections before the connection is carried out. Tang Feng started to knock on the pottery figurine. It was indeed a hollow gray pottery with a hard texture. He nodded slightly. He could basically confirm that this thing was real. It depends on the price. He asked the boss: "How much does this thing cost?"
The boss smiled and said, "Are you sincere?"
Tang Feng also smiled and said, "It depends on you'|Is it sincere?"
"Mr. Tang. You are a person who knows the goods. I also offered a price randomly." The boss said seriously: "1 million."
"Do you want so much?" Lin Muyu, who had two modern pottery figurines on the window, walked over and asked.
Tang Feng continued, "Can you lose some?"
The boss said in a little embarrassedly: "This is what my friend got here to consign. If he loses 10,000 yuan, he will not sell it."
Tang Feng felt nothing. This is the disadvantage of going on TV. As long as it is something he likes, he can't imagine a bargain price. Seeing him considering the boss, he said, "Mr. Tang. You know the market more than me. This is a real thing. The price is naturally higher."
Tang Feng understood. The other party had already made it clear. He would not sell it at this price. He asked, "Where is your origin?" This is also a way to bargain. If the origin is not right, it is a black product. Naturally, the price cannot be determined based on the market conditions.
"No matter where you come from, no one will remember it." The boss said something interesting. That means, don't worry. No matter whether it is a cat road or a dog road, he will never lose a penny until he reaches me.
Although the price of 10,000 is a bit expensive, it is still lower than the market. At the Chongyuan International Spring Large-scale Art Auction, the Eastern Han Dynasty rap pottery, which is slightly inferior to this pottery figurine, is estimated to be 00,000 to 1 million Hong Kong dollars. Later, for some reason, this pottery figurine was not successfully traded. No matter what, the price of the auction house can be said to be the most accurate market trend. Even if you buy it at a price of 100, you are unlikely to lose money.
But after Tang Feng found out the price, he began to fall in love. Antiques are a comprehensive discipline. Appraisal of antiques also has the ingredients of gambling. Tang Feng is now basically sure that this is the real product. He is not 100% sure. Since antiques have the ingredients of gambling, the settlers also have the mentality of gamblers. If the price of this rap pottery figurine is only 100,000 yuan, Tang Feng would buy it without hesitation. It was a small sale. But the current price is 1 million. The bet is increased and the report is reduced. Tang Feng, who was originally a little confident, was not cautious.
"You kid is still lying!" Tang Feng was considering that three strong men broke into the store. The leader looked fierce, but he was not fooling at all. Instead, he looked very funny. Because he was holding a rap pottery figurine in his hands. The strong man said fiercely: "You are very brave. You have deceived you, Mr. Shuo. You don't go outside to inquire. In the territory of Beijing, I have nothing to do except the central part. Does anyone dare not give Wang Tianshuo face?" This man really, at least he knew that he had no choice but to the central part.
The boss habitually held his glasses and said, "I said, brother, where is this?"
A person who has passed the book should change the past. I will immediately let you hear your call. I am here to return the goods."
Tang Feng felt very strange. Such a typical market hooligan could publish books. After reading Lin Muyu, who also published books, he realized that publishing books was not as difficult as she said.
Keep in mind the other party's situation of being kind to the person who comes. But the boss is very calm. Don't worry. Why do you want to return the goods?
"What else can you do!" Tian Shuo held the rap pottery figurine until now. He said, "Your thing is fake!"
"How could it be fake?" The boss took out his cell phone and said seriously: "Don't worry. This thing was sent here by my friend. I'll call him to come right away."
Wang Tianshuo said, "Okay, I won't make things difficult for you. But I'll wait ten minutes and ten minutes for him to come, so you can do it." Then Wang Shuo put the rap figurine in his hand on the tent. He first looked at the rap figurine in front of Tang Feng. Then he looked at Tang Feng and said, "Brother, don't look, I've seen it with an expert. This is a piece of terracotta figurine left by the old kiln site and grind it into powder - mixed with new clay. I almost fell for the new pottery that was remade into the kiln."
What Wang Tianshuo said is not without reason. This method of counterfeiting is very unethical. The counterfeiter first chooses genuine products with complete quality and expensiveness as a reference and then uses fragments of residual pottery with the same tire as the original device or directly destroys some ancient pottery with low economic value to obtain fragments and grind them again. Then mix the ratio of these ancient pottery powder and new clay and remade them into the kiln.
This method of counterfeiting is very clever. However, there are also flaws. Ancient pottery powder that has been burned once is called cooked pottery. New pottery that has not been burned is called "raw soil". There is no physical structure difference between cooked pottery and raw soil. However, the chemical structure is very different. This difference cannot be seen from the surface. However, after being burned into pottery, there will be no shrinkage rate. The pottery will basically not shrink or shrink very little. The difference in shrinkage rate will cause uniform particles to appear on the surface of the finished product. It looks like there is a special "rough" effect such as orange peel and pomegranate peel.
Tang Feng of course knew what Wang Tianshuo said about the counterfeiting method. His failure to hold it was also because of this. The problem is that the surface of this rap pottery has no "rough" effect as mentioned above. Its surface is only slightly flawed. The mottled and fall off naturally. This is a problem for a while. If its surface is very smooth, Tang is sure that this is the authentic product; on the other hand, if it is too rough, it is definitely falsification; but this slight flaw is difficult. Because these flaws are entirely caused by the buried soil environment. Looking back, if the value of this rap figurine is only 100,000 yuan, Tang Feng can completely ignore this factor. Feng’s suspicion is not because of the flaw itself. But because of the gambler’s attitude. It is like playing mahjong. You have a suspected cannon card in your hand. If it is a small mahjong worth a few dollars, you will play it without hesitation. You will recognize it without hesitation. But is this mahjong on the top of the box? Are you hesitating?
At one time, a black-faced man hurriedly ran in. Although he was big and thick, he looked very honest and didn't look like a fierce person. When the shop owner saw him, he immediately patted his thigh and said, "Why did you come? You're so anxious!" Tang Feng could see that the shop owner was calm on the surface and was actually very panicked inside. When he said this, he was trembling. This was a brief vent of fear for more than ten minutes. No wonder Wang Tianshuo acted so vulgar when he was a "literary man". He had to stop being a "cultural man". He even broke up his small shop. Don't forget. There were two strong men around him who were eyeing him.
"What am I?" The black-faced man looked puzzled.
"You're so embarrassed to ask?" said the shop owner: "Look | You're using the rap figurines you sent to sell. The people are fake!"
"Who the fuck said it's fake! Can this be'?" said the black-faced man, movingly: "He is looking for a slap!"
Bar."
"This" The black-faced man glanced at Wang Tianshuo with his eyes. He glanced at the two strong men beside him. His tone immediately softened. He said, "This is definitely not fake. I swear to the sky!"
"Well." Wang Tianshuo nodded and said, "It's true that you swear. There are still words written in front of Tiananmen Square. Long live anyone you have seen? "The rogue is educated and is not afraid of traveling all over the world. Look at what he said, shocking but implicitly.
The shop owner began to draw a clear line. He said, "The things are yours. Do you do it yourself?"
Here comes to you." The black-faced man was very depressed. The scholar met a soldier. He said it was reasonable, not only that he had not forgotten to emphasize his point of view again. He said, "But this thing must be true. I want to tell a lie. I am the fucking grandson!"
Wang Tianshuo said dissatisfiedly: "As you like this, I'm still with you? I swear that this is not considered to be your evidence."
"You won't believe anything I say now. But there is no way." The black-faced man pointed at the next door and said loudly: "The Cultural Relics Research Institute is right next to you. Let's use it for identification together. If it is 1 million, I will refund you the appraisal fee of 10,000 yuan. But, the black-faced man paused for a moment before continuing: "But is the result true?"
He agreed immediately. Anyway, he would not suffer any loss.
He was applauding Tang Feng and his praise. Whether it was based on the color texture or type, these two rap figurines must be from the same era. They can share the results by identifying them. Whether they are true or false, they will be invincible.
He went as soon as he said that, Wang Tianshuo walked out of the store with the black-faced man. Wang Tianshuo's two followers also walked out with them. Lin Muyu asked Tang Feng, "Will we go?"
"Go." Tang Feng nodded and said, "Just watch the fun."
"Yes." Lin Muyu nodded and turned her hand to Tang Feng. Tang Feng took her hand. The two walked out of the store together.
With the deepening of institutional reform, the Cultural Relics Research Institute gradually began to transform to market-oriented. This Cultural Relics Research Institute undertakes external appraisal business. There are no problems in the procedures. Soon, a few people walked into the research institute's door.
The staff of the Cultural Relics Research Institute were very enthusiastic | and they explained that the black-faced man paid 10,000 yuan in advance for the identification fee. Wang Tianshuo held his rap pottery figurines and followed the staff into the laboratory to take samples.
Cultural relics experts rely on their own knowledge and vision and accumulation
|Identification of cultural relics. Compared with cultural relics experts and cultural relics research institutes, they not only master these conventional identification methods, but also have unparalleled resource advantages that cultural relics identification experts have. They can retrieve any data required from the databases of major scientific research institutions across the country; they can also conduct scientific identification and analysis through high-precision identification instruments such as refractometers and fluorescence meters, thermal conductors and chemical composition analyzers; and they also build large spectroscopy laboratories and thermoluminescence laboratories. These expensive cutting-edge scientific and technological equipment can provide people with more intuitive identification conclusions.
The most commonly used scientific and technological technology for identifying ceramics internationally is thermoluminescence technology. Thermal lightening technology determines the absolute year of the cultural relics by observing the spectrum of different thermoluminescence generated by objects under the action of rays. At present, thermoluminescence cultural relics identification technology has been widely used by major museums and famous auction companies in Europe and the United States. The identification conclusions of thermoluminescence identification technology can also be used as evidence of quarrying approved by courts.
Of course, science and technology are not omnipotent. Otherwise, the cultural relics identification industry will no longer exist. Thermal light detection cannot identify old tires and add colored porcelain after adding colored porcelain; using special paint as a layer of fake to cover the new and old tires can also deceive thermal light. But this method is easy to be seen by experts. Therefore, scientific testing is ultimately inseparable from artificial eye-catching. In addition, high-precision scientific instruments have several major disadvantages. First, the cost is high; second, the pleasure in the appreciation process is less than the pleasure of the appreciation process; third, and most important. Scientific identification requires sampling. Improper operation will destroy the loss of the cultural relics themselves. Of course, it is much easier to sample the exquisite instruments and rap pottery figurines. After a while, Wang Tianshuo came out of the laboratory. Everything is ready. A few people are waiting for the final identification conclusion.
At the same time, Tang Feng had been explaining to Lin Muyu what the problem was. Although he had already explained it thoroughly, Lin Muyu still had a slight understanding. She asked Tang Feng: "What if the counterfeiters do not mix new clay and use cooked pottery powder to make the embryos and fire it?"
Tang Feng smiled and touched her face. He said, "Follow, the stickiness of cooked pottery powder is not mixed without being mixed. New clay pottery will deform. New is to play a role in a frame." The process of adding cooked pottery to new soil is not only used for counterfeiting, but also for repair. It is also used for firing purple clay pots.
Although the thermoluminescent pottery identification technology also has flaws, the results can still be accepted with Tang Feng’s previous eye examination. The identification process is not very long. It is less than an hour before. The identification results come out.
The black-faced man almost snatched the appraisal report from the worker. It clearly stated on it: It was identified by the pyroluminescence laboratory of the xx Cultural Relics Research Institute in Beijing. The firing date of this rap pottery figurine is 100 years, 1900. It is indeed a gray pottery figurine in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Laboratory sampling location: the back of the rap terracotta figurine, back and right leg. Identification certificate number: c10
He was very interested in handing over the appraisal certificate to Wang Tianshuo and said, "How is it?"
"I, Wang Tianshuo, said I will pay the appraisal fee." Wang Tianshuo was very happy and took out a stack of unopened RMB from the old cowhide bag and handed it to the black-faced man. He said, "Brother. I'm sorry, but I can't blame me. If you want to blame, you can only blame those domestic beasts that have died of living food and polluted the land."
The black-faced man also said generously: "Relationship. I never listen to those bricks farts."
Walking out of the door of the Cultural Relics Research Institute, Feng said softly to Lin Muyu beside him: "Muyu, go to the car first."
Lin Muyu glanced at Wang Tian and whispered to Tang Feng: "Is there any danger?"
Tang Feng smiled and said, "Can I still be afraid of them by fools? Don't worry, I'm in the car."
"Then be careful." Lin Muyu nodded and separated from Tang Feng to prepare to pick up the car.
He said he was not worried. But Tang Feng was really afraid of something unexpected, he speeded up and returned to the store first. As soon as he walked into the door, he said to the gentle boss: "Boss. I have asked the rap terracotta figurines just now. How can I pay the bill?" Tang Feng regretted that he didn't take it directly just now. When he came back, he said he wanted to buy it. The boss would not be unable to guess the result. If he took advantage of the situation and robbed the price, he would suffer a loss. After all, the transaction was not successful. Dong was still the boss. He had this autonomy.
But the boss didn't do this. He smiled and moved out the rap pottery figurine and said to Tang Feng: "You can swipe your card and cash. It depends on your convenience."
Tang Feng said, "Then swipe the card." He took out his bank card and handed it to the boss. The boss took the credit card and walked towards the Pos landline in the store. It is inevitable to avoid bulk transactions when operating antiques. It is very good to have Pos machines in this place. Tang Feng didn't believe that this was really a bad guy who came here to consign.
Of course you have to add when you go out'|Be careful. Tang Feng looked at the rap pottery again carefully to prevent it from being dropped. Soon, the boss came over with the Pos machine. He handed Tang Feng the bank card and the Pos machine together to ask him to enter the password. Tang Feng had some time to press the password. Wang Tianshuo walked in. He looked at Tang Feng and said bluntly: "Brother, can this thing be given to me?"
Wang Tianshuo relied on his superiority to Feng. There were two followers who could be straightforward. But Tang Feng didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble. He forced a smile and said, "Hehe. Brother. You have one. You don't need to joke like this with me, right?"
Wang Tianshuo also laughed dryly. He said, "Hehe, brother. Of course, it is better to have a couple than to have one. Do you think so?"
Yan's threat, boy. You can do it.
Tang Feng said this, but he was not idle. He turned his head and quickly entered the password. After entering the password, he handed the Pos machine back to the boss. The boss knew very well that silence was the truth of gold. He took the Pos machine silently and walked towards the landline just like usual.
Soon, there was a crackling sound from there. The transaction was successful and the signature could take effect. Wang Tianshuo said with some displeasure: "It seems you are unwilling to give me Wang Tianshuo face?"
