Chapter 968 Fake

The man surnamed Zhang said, "How could it be imitated? Who can place such an exquisite and natural bronze tripod?"

Han Peacock sneered: "Even if the bronze ware placed in that small village is not an insider, do you know it? I think this bronze tripod can't be identified even if it is used for the carbon 14 identification. Otherwise, why are some bronze ware that are inherited and ordered can be sold at a price, and the others are not worth it? Why? It's because there are too many fakes, even if it is true, it cannot be sold at a price."

Han Peacock's words are not groundless, so the man surnamed Zhang who said it directly was speechless.

In this world, the fragments of genuine porcelain and fake fragments are glued together and become cultural relics that can be sold at a sky-high price. Scanning porcelain and clay pots with rays will turn them into antiques from thousands of years ago. A master's authentic Chinese painting, carefully uncovered into two layers, can be sold repeatedly at a high price...

The current counterfeiting process of cultural relics has indeed reached the extreme level of using everything. The counterfeiting ability of some craftsmen can completely win the Nobel Prize.

For example, one of the tough tricks of making fraud: use x-ray to shine porcelain, walk one way, 500 years, and another 1,000 years old. Of course, bronze ware is also very suitable here.

Many craftsmen in the market will use newly discovered porcelain fragments from the ground to complete the whole body according to the shape of ancient porcelain. Only the base or signature is real, and the others are fake. People often sell this kind of porcelain because it is difficult to identify, and many people are deceived.

The West has long conducted data research on Chinese ceramics. They found that through physical principles, data on the radioactive decay inside the instrument can be obtained, and this is used to judge how many years the instrument has been.

But the counterfeiters immediately kept pace with the times and developed the counterfeiting techniques to deal with them. They then added some rays to the instruments to deal with this kind of detection. There was a joke in the industry. They were going to go back to the Qing Dynasty, but after taking a long time, they looked back to the ancient times.

Since this testing method is a damage identification method. It requires sampling on porcelain and is destructive, the domestic cultural relics industry is still mainly based on visual inspection.

Identify the body, shape, glaze color, craftsmanship, painting patterns, patterns, etc. These indicators meet the requirements and can only pass the preliminary selection.

In addition to the splicing of new and old, there are many methods of counterfeiting of x-rays. For example, using emery to make scratches on the outside of the porcelain, and then adding a sense of historical oldness to this scratch; in order not to expose the inside of the utensil, fireworks must be used to burn and smoke...

It can be said that the thoughts are as far as you can. The fake copycats can go as far as you can.

Seeing Han Peacock telling some fake methods in the industry, the man surnamed Zhang's face was longer than a donkey's face.

"If Boss Han doesn't like these two heavy objects, then there will be no objection to these jade artifacts, right?" The man surnamed Zhang simply gave up and pointed at the jade artifacts.

Han Peacock smiled and said, "Of course there is no objection. This pile of jade is enough to give it to me. I just said it clearly. If those gold jewelry are not stepping stones, the price of one million would be too high. Now it is obvious that those gold jewelry are just gold jewelry and have nothing to do with antiques. So Brother Zhang is definitely embarrassed to accept my money for these jade jewelry."

If the golden-shelf jade sword and the ginger tripod were fakes, then the previous gold jewelry would not be antiques, but it was real gold after all. Therefore, although Han Peacock was expensive, he did not call him fooled, but he would not pay for the pile of jade artifacts.

The face of the man surnamed Zhang kept changing color. After a while, he said, "I gave these jade artifacts to you. Boss Han waited for a while. I still have some calligraphy and paintings here. Maybe Boss Han is interested."

As he said that, the man surnamed Zhang walked towards the ancient shelf, while Han Peacock held a jade and said, "Do you know how new jade turned into ancient jade? In fact, it is not difficult at all. He burned it first and then buried it in the earth, and hid it in the legs of lamb, such as the famous golden jade clothes.

A businessman made a golden jade dress with a pile of jade pieces, and received strong support from many top appraisal experts, "estimated at RMB 2.4 billion". He successfully obtained a loan of 1.2 billion from the bank until the incident broke out, and 900 million funds were wasted.

How did this 'golden jade garment' deceive many experts? The counterfeiter will first burn new jade with fire, causing cracks on the surface of the jade, then kill a dog, put the jade in the dog's belly, and bury it in the ground for a year.

Or cut the sheep's legs into a crack, hide the jade inside, and take it out a year later, and the jade will have a "blood spray". Jade or porcelain will become soft after being buried underground for a long time, and it will easily absorb the substance it comes into contact with. Therefore, many counterfeiters will burn the jade first, then burn the cotton to ashes, wrap it outside the jade, and the ash seeps into the cracks, and it will look like ancient jade.

In addition to the 'golden jade clothes', another joke in the field of fake cultural relics is the 'Han Dynasty jade stool'. Falsification is actually imitation, but we must also respect history and art. These two are fakes out of thin air. No one sat on the stool in the Han Dynasty, and they all sat on the ground. How could there be a jade stool? This is purely a material worship act driven by interests, and it is too irresponsible for history."

Although the man surnamed Zhang left this room, Han Peacock and the others were always under his surveillance, so Han Peacock's words fell into his ears without any leakage. When he heard Han Peacock's words, the man surnamed Zhang's face turned green.

However, with the idea of ​​being able to sell a little bit, the man surnamed Zhang directly brought out a wooden box with some books and papers inside. Of course, there were also some scrolls, but not many.

Listening to the man's footsteps, Han Peacock said again: "When it comes to fraud, it means that the counterfeiting methods of calligraphy and painting are sophisticated. Some famous paintings and foreign cultural relics counterfeiters will carefully remove a master's original work into two layers, and can be sold as two paintings.

A calligraphy and painting that can be uncovered into two layers must be written on two layers of rice paper. The first layer can be sold at a high price, but the stamps and ink marks on the second layer have been blurred, and the value is damaged, and the price will not be as high as the first layer.

Many people copy fake calligraphy and paintings, such as the character "Ten". If it is an original work, the ink marks will definitely be heavier than other places when crossing horizontally and vertically. When you use a flashlight to shine from the back, you can clearly see the difference.

But if it is a copy of a fake, the counterfeiter usually just draw the outer frame first and then fill in the color. The ink marks where the two strokes overlap are not special. For example, Zhang Daqian was a master in making fake paintings. During the Anti-Japanese War, a Wushu collector went to Chongqing to find Zhang Daqian. After returning, he said: I will never dare to buy calligraphy and paintings again, and his fake ones are too real.

Also, real paintings plus fake signatures, fake paintings and real paintings copied with special printers, using projection as an intermediary to copy the original works of the master...

There are countless methods of counterfeiting in the calligraphy and painting world. Although counterfeits are flying all over the world, as long as the buyer is not greedy, no matter how clever the counterfeiting is, it is useless. Many people are deceived and think that they will understand it by reading this book and watching a series. In fact, the knowledge of cultural relics collection is very profound."

"Mr. Han is really an expert. Why not show me these calligraphy and paintings to see if they are fake?" The man surnamed Zhang groaned and threw the box directly into the hall.

Han Peacock didn't care what he thought. Since he was confident to let him see, he would take a look. Although he had the first time seeing this guy named Zhang, Han Peacock had no good feelings for him, so he held the idea of ​​not taking advantage of the bastard and squatted down to see if there were any surprises inside.

At this moment, footsteps came from outside again: "Zhang Cheng, are you at home?"

As soon as the voice came, a few people walked into the room. Han Peacock looked up and saw that he was an acquaintance.

"You kid is using the rags your grandfather made to deceive people? I said, even if you are lying, you will still make some good-looking things and are not very famous. Such conspicuous things like this golden-shelf jade sword, even if a fool has a little understanding, you won't be fooled." A middle-aged man walked in and saw the Han Peacock squatting on the ground and flipping through the book at a glance.

As he said, the golden-shewn jade sword was so conspicuous, but Han Peacock ignored it. He must have known it was a fake, so the middle-aged man did not leave any room for speaking, and was not afraid of messing up Zhang Cheng's business.

Zhang Cheng smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle Zhao, speak a little bit, these things are treasures left by my grandfather. Why does it turn into rags when it comes to your mouth?"

"Forget it, I won't say you boy. If you have this time, why don't you contact me more customers. This time I have friends coming to Yangcheng and you will introduce you to a few reliable ones. They are all big shots in the home furnishing industry. Don't take out those evil things to waste our time." Zhao Dayou looked at Zhang Cheng and said with a look of regret.

Zhang Cheng said: "There are actually several Ming and Qing furniture around, but the price is not low. Now, as long as it is real, there is no cheaper. After all, over the years, even if you are fools, you will become smarter if you are cheated too much."

"As long as the price is not outrageous, it will be done." Zhao Dayou said.

Zhang Cheng smiled bitterly and said, "It's just that the price is too outrageous to be kept until now, otherwise those good things can be kept until now?"

"That's right, so I came to find you boy! As long as they really want to sell, the market conditions are there, my friend will buy it with some price, so that you can't lose the people you know.

But if you ask for a price all over the place, you don’t really want to sell it. You are a professional in this regard, so you can help more. I think, whoever really wants to sell things here will definitely know that as long as things are done, you will be able to get something out of it.” Zhao Dayou said.

After Zhao Dayou finished speaking, he wanted to pull Zhang Cheng away, but this time Zhang Cheng did not move. It turned out that this was not the case.

"Why? Don't want to live a life anymore? If Uncle Zhao hadn't pulled you, no one would care if you starved to death." Zhao Da looked at Zhang Cheng with confusion.

Han Peacock stood up, and the two women who were blocked by him were also exposed.

"Mr. Han?" Zhao Dayou looked at Han Peacock and said in surprise.

Han Peacock nodded and smiled, "Brother Zhao?" (To be continued...)
