Zhou Xia knew very well that if he had no archaeological appraisal system, if he dared to come to Taobao in the calligraphy and painting market, he would definitely be dead. The appraisal of Wu Changshuo's works alone would torture him to death.

It still has to rely on systematic identification. He will follow the study and carefully understand it.

At the same time, he was also very curious whether Xu Yaohui was ignorant and fearless, or did he believe in him in particular? For outsiders like them, the water here is too deep.

When he was thinking about it, the system had already made an identification, "The creation of the item was from 1919 AD."

Could this peony picture be really the original work of Wu Changshuo?

Zhou Xia rubbed his eyes and couldn't believe it. Damn, the chance of producing authentic products is too high! Previously, he was overjoyed to have a genuine product from Pan Tianshou's "Orchid Stone Picture" at Lao Wang's house, as if it was a pie falling from the sky. Now, Li Weiguo has another genuine product from Wu Changshuo? These unscrupulous merchants took the wrong medicine today and turned into a living Lei Feng together?

Zhou Xia felt that things were definitely not that simple.

He naturally had reasons for doubt, because even if the painting was really in 1919 AD, that is, the time mentioned on the picture was not necessarily written by Wu Changshuo himself.

When he was still alive, many imitations appeared in Wu Changshuo's works. In addition to Wu Changshuo's own busy with social engagements, he authorized his relatives to write for students. Some people often took a fake to his house while he was taking a nap and asked his housekeeper to stamp Wu Changshuo's common seals, bells and oceans.

To accurately identify, you need to be particularly familiar with Wu Changshuo's style during each period. At least, like now, you need to have a deep understanding of Wu Changshuo's paintings, especially the style of inscriptions, in 1919, when he was 75 years old.

Since Zhou Xia did not specialize in studying the Dharma before, even if he temporarily crammed and added some knowledge, it was still far from enough. If he could understand the styles of all the masters of famous masters in a short period of time, then he would not be a human being, but a god.

I only regretted that I had little time to use the book! Zhou Xia suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart. This is awesome, such an appraisal is too difficult, is there any?

But when things are approaching, no matter how difficult it is, he has to bite the bullet.

Zhou Xia would not complain that the identification results given by the system were too simple, and that the age judgment of systematic preparation could be judged. If anyone who works in this industry was afraid he would wake up from a dream, there was nothing to be satisfied.

This will be the time to really test him.

Zhou Xia tried to reason and analyze logically, and then combined the situation of this painting to identify that this was the original work of Wu Changshuo. It was a writer for other disciples, or simply a imitation of foreigners of the same era.

Fortunately, Zhou Xia still remembers that the most important thing to identify Wu Changshuo's works is to look at his calligraphy inscriptions.

Wu Changshuo was immersed in his life, and he copied and wrote calligraphy for decades. Without decades of effort, it was not easy to imitate his calligraphy.

Moreover, in 1919, Wu Changshuo had reached the level of transformation, whether it was a method, he had mastered his writing skills, turned his mind to turn his mind, and swallowed the momentum of ancient and modern times. That was inevitable.

Zhou Xia guessed that Wu Changshuo was already old at that time, so he probably didn't have the energy to paint himself. Such a picture of rich peony is obviously a work for socializing, so he should be left to his disciples to draw.

Moreover, Zhou Xia carefully observed the above inscriptions at this time and felt that the brushwork seemed a bit stiff, and the brush was stagnant and blocked, and did not have the charm of Wu. The brushwork was deliberately manifested as heavy-duty, which led to excessive ink use and excessively insufficient, which seemed very "stagnant". The degree of this was the most difficult thing for imitators to grasp.

As for the seal, Zhou Xia could not find any fault. This is also easy to explain. It is very likely that the butler of the Wu family collected the money and printed it privately. Moreover, Wu Changshuo was given an imitation for him at that time, and he also gave the inscriptions on it.

Anyway, Zhou Xia’s final identification result was.

This painting is better not to be touched. Even if it is recognized by Wu Changshuo, it can only be considered a defective product. It is definitely not suitable to buy it and throw it into your own hands. It is better to stay away from it.

After reaching such a conclusion, Zhou Xia felt that he was sweating all over.

With an archaeological identification system, it was still so difficult for him to do an identification.

Everyone can understand those who have been collecting all their lives, spend all their property, and finally don’t even have a genuine product.

Zhou Xia felt relieved. At this time, he also found that he was too concerned about identifying the authenticity and gains and losses. Logically speaking, he should be like Su Xiaoru now, with a purely learning attitude. Seeing that she has always been happy, she feels rewarding if she can learn more.

At this time, she was looking at another work by Lu Yanshao.

Lu Yanshao is a rare master of landscape painting in the contemporary Chinese painting world. He has profound skills, profound talent and extraordinary creativity. He has created a unique artistic style of contemporary landscape painting and reached another peak of landscape painting art. His landscape painting creation has a great influence internationally and is known as "Northern Li and Nanlu" together with Li Keran.

Lu Yanshao's works are also very popular at auctions. Although the highest transaction price is over 100 million like Li Keran's works, the highest is more than 60 million, and the average price of the works is quite high. In the Donghai market, it is especially popular and popular.

Of course, with such a vast market, there will naturally be no fewer fakes. It is impossible to count how many private transactions are. At the auction alone, more than 16,000 works signed by Lu Yanshao participated in the auction. How much moisture is there in this, a discerning person can tell at a glance.

But everyone has the illusion in their hearts that they have good eyesight. No matter how many fakes there are outside, as long as they take pictures and collect the authentic ones.

At present, this work by Lu Yanshao can be seen from the inscription. In March 1980, Lu Yanshao wrote it on Xizi Lake.

In the works in 1980, Zhou Xia would first identify whether paper and ink have reached the generation, whether it is a print replica, etc., which are the most basic things.

Su Xiaoru next to her was almost used to it.

After these basic work was completed, Zhou Xia identified the painting from the artistic perspective.

Originally, the identification of legal works is not like they are now, holding a magnifying glass and taking a few glances, and then relying on their subjective feelings to draw conclusions. They need to be cautious and detailed arguments, reviewing the information from multiple parties, and especially carefully comparing and analyzing them to draw the final conclusion. Works that need to be identified must be consistent with the recognized authentic works, that is, works that have been made "standard instruments" by everyone, and their styles are consistent.

But now, if they come out to buy things, it is impossible for them to study them carefully for three or five days.

Because I don’t know what kind of work I will encounter, the preparations of several people are not done enough. For example, nowadays, several people are a little confused. Although Lu Yanshao is very famous and very popular in the East China Sea, Xu Yaohui and others have not studied his works very carefully before. When they meet at this time, they are naturally a little confused.

Su Xiaoru has experienced this feeling of touching an elephant even more, but she is not in a hurry, because she has gained experience by learning and she doesn’t expect to eat a big fat man in one bite, and immediately becomes a senior appraiser like Zhou Xia. With Zhou Xia and the others doing the appraisal, Su Xiaoru can more deeply understand the huge pressure that Zhou Xia has to bear, a senior appraiser with an annual salary of one million.

Xu Yaohui, however, had a bit of a retreat. Li Weiguo was carefully appreciating the "Orchid Stone Picture", and they could discuss some things softly. After carefully reading the two pictures, Xu Yaohui also whispered to Zhou Xia, "This is really a layman watching the fun, and an expert watching the tricks, but I still can't see too much, so I came here, especially Lu Yanshao's "The Picture of the Clouds in Ten Thousand Valleys" which seemed to be real. Zhou Xia, you said, did I choose the wrong direction? You should play with porcelain and jade honestly."

Zhou Xia smiled and said, "Uncle Xu is too worried, just think that we are here to learn. Whenever we study, there is a gradual process. If we are not sure, we should not buy it. Many of Lu Yanshao's works are collected in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and the number of mainland China is actually not large. If this work is returned from Hong Kong and Taiwan, it cannot be judged as genuine. After all, we are not very familiar with it. The possibility of being a fake is also quite high. There are many experts there, and it is also the most common thing to deliberately send imitations to the mainland."

"Then senior brother doesn't like this painting!" Su Xiaoru asked.

"Yes, I always feel that this painting is still somewhat subtle and Lu Yanshao's style. It is not grand enough. Lu Yanshao is a top master in landscape paintings. He created his own school. In the 1980s, it was the most impressive moment when he reached the pinnacle. Whether it is temperament or writing, he would not look very restrained. Although I didn't see the original work, I feel that it is still a little different from his style. The counterfeiters also took advantage of our unfamiliarity with the paintings and made articles on it. They actually have it in their hands.

The authentic ones, but as long as they don’t release the authentic ones, such high-quality imitation works can be hidden from most people even if they have some minor shortcomings. Whether they are on auction or private circulation, they can make a big profit." Zhou Xia could only answer this way. In fact, he used a system to appraise the painting and learned that the painting was created in 2000 AD, rather than 1980 AD. Relatively speaking, it is much easier to appraise the painting with a systematic one, because the time is not up to date, so it must be a fake.

"Uncle Xu, are there really many imitations circulating in Hong Kong and Taiwan? "Su Xiaoru is a studious child, so she asks if she doesn't understand.

Xu Yaohui nodded and said, "If there are too many, it is not only returned from Hong Kong and Taiwan. Many collections that are returned from overseas are actually made out of the mainland and then refuted. Then we don't need to consider this painting. In addition, the one by Wu Changshuo looks quite real. What do you think?"...)
