After watching the fun, several people continued to visit the antique market. Even Wang Chao, who had always been lively and cheerful and generous, was not as confused as the husband he had seen before when he arrived here. In his words, he himself did not believe that he had the life to find a bargain. After working in the auction company for so long, he saw too many. Almost every collector sent to the auction felt that he was priceless. After being identified as a fake and imitated by the company's appraiser, he was still obsessed with it, saying that the auction company had no vision and did not recognize the goods, and there were many people who left angrily.

"But Zhou Xia, you are different. You are from a professional class and have been with Manager Liu for so long. If you are lucky, you will have a very high possibility of finding a bargain." Wang Chao also said to cheer Zhou Xia up.

Zhou Xia nodded as he said, "Luck is really important. Maybe he can really find a big leak and successfully repay the debt."

Wang Chaoze shook his head, looking like he was so angry that he was not ashamed of the iron. "What are you worried about? I owe Manager Liu, and she is more impressed. Besides, this is not your fault at all, so why should you take all the responsibilities on yourself..."

Zhou Xia smiled, she didn't bother with this topic, and she didn't miss the things on the stalls.

Wang Yanli and the others were picking and choosing in front. Chen Xiaojun seemed to have a fancy to an ancient jade and asked Zhou Xia to go over and help identify it.

When Zhou Xia passed, the middle-aged antique vendor was talking, "You have such a good vision. This is the Qing Dynasty Jade Guanyin that just opened the door."

Zhou Xia only glanced at the Jade Guanyin that Chen Xiaojun held in his hand, but did not get started. Then he asked him, "Do you plan to buy it for collection or wear it with you."

Chen Xiaojun said, "Of course I wear it with you. Don't you say that men wear Guanyin and women wear Buddha?"

Zhou Xia said, "This is true, but this jade Guanyin with a color is not suitable for wearing with you. You should know where this color comes from!"

"Of course I know..." Chen Xiaojun replied immediately, and then he was stunned.

If it is an unearthed jade, it will generally have a color of stain, like the one in his hand. This color of stain refers to the phenomenon in which the jade wareer comes into contact with water, soil and other substances in the environment for a long time, and naturally generated water or minerals erode the jade body, causing the color of the part or whole of the jade to change.

The jade wares are divided into many kinds, and they are also diverse, making it not easy to identify.

If it is an unearthed jadeware, it is usually used for burial. Many jadewares are eroded by rotten corpses, forming a stain on the surface and inside.

If you want to collect such jadeware, it is okay to wear it with you, but it is better to wear it with you. Just thinking that such jadeware has been buried with the body for hundreds of years, I will not feel too comfortable no matter how you think about it.

The ancient jade passed down from generation to generation is not bad, but the number of this kind is relatively rare. Generally, ancient jade is mainly unearthed.

After Chen Xiaojun recalled it, he quickly handed the jade to Zhou Xia, "That's right, just forget it if you wear it. Please show it, is it worth collecting?"

Zhou Xia took it and felt even more wrong. He was not optimistic about this Jade Guanyin at first, but now after playing with it, he felt that there were many problems.

Jadeware has always been shown in a warm image, but the jade Guanyin bought it, which gave him a bad feeling. It was very rough and felt quite dry to the touch. He carefully checked the material and found that it was not Hetian jade, but Qinghai jade. Qinghai jade is often used on the market to pretend to be Hetian jade, but the price is lower than Hetian jade. People who are greedy for cheapness can easily be deceived.

"Qinghai material." Zhou Xia said three words to Chen Xiaojun and laughed in his heart. Fortunately, it was not Russian jade, otherwise, it would be easier to identify.

Knowing that this is Qinghai jade, it is naturally easier to identify. The large-scale mining and circulation of Qinghai jade was in the 1990s. Before that, most of the jadeware was Hetian jade.

Chen Xiaojun immediately understood that this means that the antique vendors said that the Qing Dynasty Jade Guanyin was completely nonsense. If you really believe in anything, you can't believe their mouths. The stories they made up were very round and very clear, but the things were wrong, and they were all useless.

"Then this color is fake!" Chen Xiaojun asked Zhou Xia.

Zhou Xia nodded, "There are many antique techniques, so I won't tell them one by one. If you wear them with you, it's not as terrible as you think, but it's almost the same. Anyway, it's all kinds of chemical methods to greet the jade."

As far as Chen Xiaojun knows, the counterfeiting methods of this antique jade are rich and colorful. Some are made of hydrofluoric acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, etc., some are coated with sodium hydroxide and burned with fire, and some are alkaline and used. The chemicals used in them are all left in the jade. If they need to be worn close to the body, they will not only fail to have the effect of "people raise jade, jade nourishes people", but they will easily cause a series of diseases.

"In addition to the material itself, you can see that the carving and knife skills are also relatively rough, and there is not much structure. You can barely see that it is a Guanyin shape, and there is no charm or temperament at all. Even if it is really a jadeware from the Qing Dynasty, it has no value for collection. There is no need to waste time and energy on such jadeware." Zhou Xia continued.

Chen Xiaojun nodded to express his education.

There are many techniques for identifying ancient jade. The characteristics of jade artifacts of each era are different. Only by making identification based on the characteristics of each era and combining specific situations can we achieve accurate identification. The so-called ancient jade circulating on the market is actually not very valuable for collection, and most of them are faked by antiques.

Zhou Xia also gave Chen Xiaojun a suggestion, "If you like jade and want to wear it close to your body, you might as well buy new jade."

Chen Xiaojun said a little embarrassedly, "I also know that the new jade is good, but isn't it ridiculously expensive at this price?"

Wang Yanli and Wang Chao also had a clear expression. Whoever played with antiques collected? If he didn't know that Hetian jade had been fryed to the sky, he would have no shame to say that he had been in this industry.

As Hetian jade was mined, the number of collectors increased sharply. Coupled with the speculation of various speculators, a good piece of Hetian jade seed material is calculated in grams, and it is not expensive per gram, which is much higher than the genuine Warring States and Han Dynasty ancient jade.

Old is worse than new, and crazy stones are truly staged in the Hetian jade industry.

Zhou Xia smiled and said, "Real quality Hetian jade must be expensive, especially the seed material that can reach the collection level without carving. The price will not fall even if it falls. However, Hetian jade with average quality has artistic value after being carved and processed, and the price of such jade will not be too expensive. Now it has returned to the taste of rationality. If you really like jade, you can consider buying a piece to wear with you. If you expect it to appreciate, then forget it."

Chen Xiaojun nodded and said yes, but Zhou Xia also reminded him that fakes are everywhere on the market now, even the ancient jade with low value is like this, let alone the Hetian jade that is sold in full swing. It is not easy to buy the real Hetian jade now.

Chen Xiaojun said that he would ask Zhou Xia to help him for reference at that time, but Zhou Xia did not reject him, and said that he would follow him to open his eyes.

After all this trouble, Chen Xiaojun's ancient jade was not completed, but he gave them some popular knowledge, which is why they like to go shopping with Zhou Xia. Zhou Xia is a righteous person, never hides his own personal information, and does not hide any experience from them, and he himself does not think there is anything to cover up.
