Chapter 622: Low-level mistakes

The jade stool was filled with a stream of light, looking white. Judging from Jin Muchen's experience, this must be the unique pearl treasure spirit of the treasure.

However, the pearlescent flashing on the jade stool did not have a heavy breath like the real antiques he had seen before, but instead seemed a little terrified.

This made Jin Muchen feel a little strange. If this is the case, according to his judgment, this jade stool is also a treasure, but it is not a real antique.

At this time, when I was looking at the carving work on the jade stool, the knife technique was also very simple. The image of the jade carved dragon carved on it was very simple and smooth. If you look closely, many lines were actually carved with one knife.

After carving the entire dragon, it only took eight swords to complete the carving of the whole picture. Such knife skills made Jin Muchen feel extremely surprised.

You should know that in Chinese history, the only thing that can be so concise and clear when carving is the only Han Badao of the Han Dynasty.

Speaking of Han Badao carving, it was the top carving technique of that dynasty, and ordinary craftsmen could not make such carvings.

This is a state of returning to the essence and simple way that requires decades of experience to be accumulated.

In the dynasties after the Han Dynasty, although people still like jade at that time, people at that time were no longer as obsessed with the simplest state of greatness and simplicity as the Han Dynasty people.

When jade was developed to the most mature Qing Dynasty, people at that time liked the jade that was more complicated and exquisitely crafted.

The standard for evaluating jade in the Qing Dynasty was to see whether the carvings were complex enough and whether the pattern design was fine enough. This was also the main reason why the jade carving masters in Suzhou were famous all over the world in that era, because the jade carving masters in Suzhou at that time were indeed skillful enough and the design was novel enough.

The jade dragon carving work on this jade stool seems extremely simple, but this simple carving work reflects the grand atmosphere of the jade stool with the simplicity of the way.

If he only looked at the carving work of the jade stool, Jin Muchen asserted that this was definitely a high-end handicraft with top-level workmanship. As for whether it was an antique, it was difficult for him to make a conclusion.

At this time, Lao Luo, who had been standing beside him, looked at him with a smile, without saying a word, interrupting his appreciation process.

"Lao Luo, haven't you said before? There is a rule on your Zhucheng, that is, good jade is not fake. I see that the material of this jade is not made of Hetian's mutton fat white jade, but it can be regarded as a top-level jade. And if it is carving, it is definitely a top-level carving, but this jade stool doesn't look like an antique no matter how I look at it, it's strange..."

When Lao Luo heard Jin Muchen say this, he couldn't help but look up and looked at him seriously for the first time, as if this was the first time he was a real person. Then he asked Jin Muchen a little curiously.

"Boss, I have a question. Why did you determine that this jade stool is not an antique?"

Jin Muchen looked at Lao Luo and saw that the expression on his face was very complicated. On the one hand, he had a few points to take the exam, and on the other hand, he had a few points to curious look. It seemed that this guy really didn't know.

"Hehe, if you just look at the color and carving, then you will definitely be fine with this stool. This stool has a dignified and elegant posture, and carved many dragon patterns and flower ornaments. The carvings of these dragon patterns are very simple and elegant, with a sense of simplicity. Such knife skills. You can think of the carving techniques of the Han Ba ​​Knife in the Han Dynasty at a glance. Moreover, the white gray skin and rust color on the stool are enough to show that this stool is a treasure buried underground for thousands of years. Just looking at these characteristics, I am afraid that someone will already think that this is a jade stool that has just been unearthed from the Han Dynasty. And looking at the dragon pattern carving on the stool, many people may think that this stool should be used by royal relatives in the Han Dynasty."

When Jin Muchen said this, Lao Luo nodded frequently because when he made this stool, he was considering these key points.

You should know that in recent years, jade wares from the Ming and Qing dynasties have become a mess and there are many fakes. In addition, jade wares from the Ming and Qing dynasties have small pieces of only tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of yuan. However, no one is willing to use white jade for fakes for mutton fat that cost more than one million yuan, so he is disdainful to make those white jade for hundreds of thousands of yuan.

That's why I racked my brains and thought of making a fake ancient jade stool from the Han Dynasty. In his opinion, with his carving and fake craftsmanship, as long as the stool is made and put on the market in the future, it will definitely be the kind of good thing that can be sold at a sky-high price.

But unexpectedly, the young man in front of me who had never seen him in front of me could tell at a glance that the stool was a fake, which made him very confused. Where did his mistakes come from?

And Jin Muchen answered his questions and answered his questions next.

"In fact, the stool was broken because of the shape of the stool. Look at the stool, your back is one meter high and your legs are fifty centimeters high. Such a stool is completely the standard of ancient Chinese Hu stools. You must know that before the Tang Dynasty, such a stool had not been introduced to China. In the Tang Dynasty, because the Tang Dynasty controlled the Western Regions, controlled the Silk Road, strengthened its connection with the Middle East and Europe, Western-style stools were passed through which merchants were spread to China and became popular. So your stool was broken because of this form."

After hearing Jin Muchen's explanation, Lao Luo suddenly realized it and slapped his head. It turned out that the problem was here?

When he was in Xiangjiang, his family was not in good condition and he didn't go to a good school. Of course, he didn't have much work to study at school. So after graduation at noon, he went to an antique shop to work as a friend.

Later, when he came to the mainland, although he learned a lot of knowledge about counterfeiting antiques, he really knew very little about the history of ancient China, which led to the misunderstanding in front of him.

In this way, if it was really as this young man said, in the Han Dynasty, there was no stool, then all the one hundred million he invested in the early stage were wasted. When he thought of this, Lao Luo felt distressed when he didn't come, and then he asked Jin Muchen to arrive unwillingly.

"Boss, did you really have no stools during the Han Dynasty?"

"Actually, it cannot be said that there is no such thing as stools. In fact, they have been in our country. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when the countries were still fighting with chariots, the stools had already appeared as seats for combatants on the chariots. This is reflected in the small copper chariots and horses unearthed that year. In the museums in Chu Province, there are now small copper chariots and horses from the Warring States Period on display. The combatants of the copper chariots and horses were sitting on chairs. Later, there were horse stools, mainly because of the assisting equipment of the cavalry when they were on horseback. They could trample on horseback when they were on horseback and could sit on them when they were dismounted. However, at that time, the stools were mainly found among the people, and were generally used by ordinary people when they were working or resting, and the princes and nobles at that time were the princes and nobles at that time. They don’t sit on stools. They usually sit on the ground when they meet. People with noble identities will add a backrest behind them. This is what they think is the embodiment of their identity. This situation continued until the Tang Dynasty. It was not until this modern Hu stool was introduced to China and became popular all the time. The princes and nobles began to use Hu stools. So your stools were wrong in form just. If you make the legs of the stools shorter, it would be consistent with the characteristics of those wet stools in the Han Dynasty. However, the Han emperors at that time did not have the habit of sitting stools. So if you take out this stools and fool those outsiders, it would definitely be enough to show off your stools..."

After hearing what Jin Muchen said, Luo opened his eyes and learned more about the history of the Han Dynasty in China. However, when he thought about it, he couldn't help but feel a little more heartbroken.

Damn, I spent a lot of money to build this stool. If it is ruined, then I will lose a lot.

When Jin Muchen saw his expression, he knew what he was thinking at this time. So he moved his heart and asked him with a smile.

"Why, Lao Luo, how much did you spend in total when you made this stool?"

"Hey! Don't mention that the stool is just the material, which is the best jasper material I bought from Russia for hundreds of thousands of yuan. Then the format of this stool, I went to a friend's house and specifically followed the format of a Ming Dynasty Taishi chair he collected. After I came back, I used the Han Badao technique to carve it one by one. At the beginning, I spent more than a year just to make this stool, and then I spent a lot of time and materials to make this thing old... I originally thought that after I made it, this thing would be seamless and I would definitely be able to sell it for a good price. But I didn't expect that you had discovered this big loophole before you could take it? I might be losing money now..."

Old Luobi said with a wry smile, shaking his head repeatedly. Obviously, he did not expect that his carefully designed "The Emperor of the Han Dynasty's Emperor' would make such a low-level mistake...

When he thinks of this, Lao Luo will inevitably feel unpredictable disappointment. After all, this is not only because of money. Although the stool is a fake, it is also a work he carefully created. (To be continued.)
