Fang Rujian took Zhou Xia and Fang Xue to the study, where he collected many works by Bada Shanren...

Seeing Fang Rujian taking out their treasured works, Fang Xue also said to Zhou Xia, "It's up to me that I can only see so many works of Bada Shanren at once! Professor Zhu and the others are really biased."

Zhou Xia only smiled, Fang Rujian smiled beside him and said, "You will not come to the door after you have finished watching it."

"Where is that? Didn't I come today?" Fang Xue muttered.

During the time of speaking, Fang Rujian took out all the works they collected, signed by Bada Shanren.

Zhou Xia has been paying close attention to him and counting it carefully. There are ten works in total.

At the current price of Bada Shanren's works, if these works are all genuine, then the value will be over 100 million.

However, Zhu Xiufang just said that these works are a test for them, and there are naturally genuine and imitations among them.

At this moment, Zhou Xia and Fang Xue didn't say much, just looked at the painting.

At this time, Zhou Xia held a more and still had an appreciation attitude.

Even Zhu Xiufang has the intention to test his true level.

As for Fang Xue, she had appreciated her when she came here before. Now she only needs to identify a few pictures she has never seen. The workload is much easier than Zhou Xia.

At this time, Fang Xue naturally would not cheat for him, and Zhou Xia did not mention this at all. He had an archaeological identification system in hand. No matter how well you imitate it, he could not escape his ignorant eyes.

Of course, Fang Xue and the others didn't know about these.

Fang Rujian looked at Zhou Xia with great relief, no pressure, and even looked full of confidence. He thought in his heart that Zhou Xia bought the "Blood Crying Cuckoo" and it might be really the authentic product of Bada Shanren. However, he would not have time to go out to read it now, and Zhu Xiufang was eager for it when the news came out of the Tiandi Auction Company. In fact, she was quite interested in any Bada Shanren's works. If possible, she would rather collect all Bada Shanren's works.

Fang Rujian is also quite confident in the ten works of Bada Shanren collected by his family.

Although he is not a professional professional, he has been practicing Zhu Xiufang, who has been a majoring in appraisal of law works for so many years. Not to mention anything else, he has learned the ability to appraise his skills and is beyond ordinary people's eyesight.

According to the general routine, it is much better than a young man like Zhou Xia.

Fang Rujian naturally knew that it was not easy to identify these works most accurately, especially for Zhou Xia, who was not a professional in calligraphy and painting appraisal.

During the chat, he also learned that Zhou Xia's main focus was on miscellaneous porcelain and jade, and Chinese works, and it was a bit difficult to get started.

Fang Rujian was also very curious. With Zhou Xia's half-baked level, how could he find such a leak and buy the earliest works of Zhu Da, the Bada Shanren.

Apart from saying that he is lucky, there seems to be no more reasonable explanation.

Fang Rujian, in the attitude of helping Zhu Xiufang inspect his disciples, carefully observed Zhou Xia's appraisal situation.

The first painting Zhou Xia identified made Fang Rujian very happy. Fang Rujian was the clearest, and the difficulty of appraisal of this painting was really difficult.

However, Fang Rujian was also surprised to find that Zhou Xia was in a very fast state. After getting the painting, he immediately started to do an appraisal. His method was also more special, probably similar to his appraisal of porcelain and jade. He first worked hard from the era of paper and ink.

Fang Rujian couldn't help but nodded, secretly proclaiming himself good in his heart. He had to admit that this was a stupid method, but for someone like Zhou Xia who is not specialized in calligraphy and painting, but has a considerable foundation for appraisal, this is also the most effective method.

At least, Zhou Xia's attitude towards appraisal is quite right, which is much more pleasing to those young people who have achieved a little bit of awesomeness and are arrogant.

In addition, Zhou Xia was also well prepared for a set of equipment. He not only carefully observed the places with ink marks, but also even the places with blank space, from his hands.

Fang Rujian could see that Zhou Xia wanted to identify whether it was a printed copy.

Fang Rujian and Zhu Xiufang generally do not collect the printed replicas, which is suspected of reducing their collection taste. But Fang Rujian was not angry, but was a little relieved. Zhou Xia was able to treat the appraisal works with such a correct attitude, which shows that he was indeed doing the appraisal with great care.

As for Fang Xue, Fang Rujian was too familiar with her. She also followed the old routine and conducted the appraisal step by step, so he didn't pay much attention to her.

Fang Rujian really wanted to see the final appraisal result, that is, this "Mohe Tu", which will be identified by Zhou Xia as genuine or imitation.

This work has been stumped by Fang Xue before. I don’t know what Zhou Xia’s performance will be. Fang Rujian will wait and see.

When Zhou Xia first saw this painting, he felt a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

However, he didn't think much about it. He felt that it would be better to speak with facts.

When I was using paper and ink to identify the age of this painting, the careful Zhou Xia discovered some clues.

This painting of "Mohe Tu" is not original in the original frame.

However, it was not mounted in recent years. Based on the traces of paper and the mounting techniques, Zhou Xia judged that the last mounting time of this painting should have been in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China.

Once the works like Bada Shanren are reframed, there is a lot of articles to do here.

Zhou Xia also studied it carefully and found that the paper and ink of the original painting itself was still in the era.

This means that this painting is most likely the original work of Bada Shanren.

However, Zhou Xia carefully observed and found that there seemed to be traces of adding some of the lotus leaves in this painting, because the tones of these inks are extremely subtle than most other inks.

In order to make the most accurate identification, Zhou Xia made the most detailed observation from multiple angles and different light conditions. He found that as he expected, this painting was also added by traces of later generations.

What's going on?

Zhou Xia suddenly felt a little confused.

Who did this!

This is simply a waste of resources!

Zhou Xia doesn't quite understand.

Why, someone is tampering with this!

Zhou Xia thought quickly, but he didn't think of the reason, but by chance, he recalled the reason why this painting looked familiar.

This also requires the hidden benefits brought to him by the archaeological identification system and the benefits brought by the significant improvement of memory remind him that he had seen the works of Bada Shanren online.

However, the original work of this painting is treasured in the Bada Shanren Memorial Hall.

However, Zhou Xia had never been to the Bada Shanren Memorial Hall and had never seen the painting with his own eyes.

He had to recall the general details of the photos he had seen online.

It is similar to the painting in front of you, and it also has the simplicity, boldness, loftyness, and magnificence of the works of Zhu Da, Bada Shanren.

Zhou Xia immediately mocked himself, since it was a imitation, these details would naturally be well made, and it would not be surprising to look exactly the same.

Although I have never seen the authentic works of the Bada Shanren Memorial Hall, it does not have a particularly big impact on Zhou Xia's appraisal work. For him, the collections of the memorial hall may not be true. Experts also have some clues, and sometimes they will use high-quality imitations to replace them.

Zhou Xia worked hard from other aspects to find flaws.

Although this painting has traces added by later generations, it cannot be denied that this painting is a imitation.

The techniques of fake calligraphy and painting works are quite colorful.

Sometimes, a fake master is just making a fuss about the broken painting. Or, simply divide a painting into two halves and then complete the other parts. This kind of half-true and half-fake works are passed down, which is really uncommon. If you want to say that it is fake, there are real things in it, there are fakes.

Forgers, they sell one painting as two for the best interests. But for the calligraphy and painting works themselves, it is a huge damage.

Zhou Xia was also considering this possibility. Is this painting half true or half false?

The answer is no.

Because Zhou Xiazai observed it carefully, he did not see it, and the painting had traces of being divided into two halves.

No matter how skillful a fake master is, he will always reveal some traces.

Moreover, based on Zhou Xia's artistic cells that are not particularly talented, this painting is exactly in line with the style of Zhu Da, the Bada Shanren.

But he still faced the previous problem. These two paintings that are exactly the same as those in the Bada Shanren Memorial Hall. Who is the real and who is the fake?

Or both are fake.

Or, there is another possibility that both paintings are real.

Zhou Xia was thinking about this possibility in her heart.

Actually, it also exists.

Zhou Xia was considering that with Fang Rujian and Zhu Xiufang's identification level and vision, ordinary imitations would definitely not be able to see them.

Zhou Xia was also considering whether he had omissions in some places.

At this time, Zhou Xia didn't really want to use the system to make an identification. He vaguely felt that he had the possibility of a breakthrough. However, it seemed that he could not catch it.

I lowered my head and thought hard, but I couldn't get the result.

Zhou Xia planned to put it on for the time being. Anyway, there are ten paintings here, and maybe a flash of inspiration will make him find some clues.

So Zhou Xia simply raised her head and first saw how Fang Xue's identification was.

He found that Fang Xue's face was also very serious, as if the work she identified was quite difficult. Although a work is true or false, it is 50% likely to be authentic or fake, but the appraisal of calligraphy and painting is an extremely rigorous and cautious knowledge and cannot be treated as a joke.

Seeing Zhou Xia's frowning look, Fang Rujian was still wondering whether this was too difficult for him, a newcomer.

As soon as he thought this, he saw an extremely bright smile appearing on Zhou Xia's face. He seemed to have thought of something...
