Chapter 297: Tiananmen Square and the Sun

For the appraisal of cultural relics, experts are not omnipotent. In fact, in many respects, compared with experts, counterfeiting can be said to be as good as the law. This chapter is provided by the net to read online

Counterfeiting this thing is a bit like researching viruses or Trojan horses. It is a trick that is popular all over the world. Once everyone understands this method of counterfeiting, it will not be so easy to fool people in the industry. It is natural to deceive ordinary people. It is enough, but in front of professionals who have anti-virus and anti-trojan horse tools, this kind of counterfeiting technology is like a paper tiger, which can be broken at a glance.

But if the cost method you use is unknown to others and the effect is very good, then congratulations, this is like the shock wave virus raging, everyone will be recruited.

"What are you laughing at?" The three old men were a little unhappy.

In terms of cultural relics appraisal, they are already well-known domestic experts. How can others question the authority of the appraisal?

After coughing, the middle-aged man pointed to the donkey and said to the three experts, "This friend claims to be a colleague, and said that he made these things himself. I can't be sure whether it is true or not, so I invite the three of you to come to me." Identify it."

After hearing this, the three old men began to look up and down Zhang Maolu, thinking that this person is not too old, how dare he boast such a big mouth? If these bronzes are fake, where are the originals?

Generally speaking, it is far more difficult to create a new bronze ware out of thin air than to imitate an ancient object that has been excavated. The three experts couldn't believe that Zhang Maolu was able to weave the patterns of these bronze wares by himself.

Moreover, the utensil with an inscription of more than two hundred characters, the style of the times, the structure of the font, and the grammar of the vocabulary are all quite satisfactory. It is not only innovative, but also conforms to the records on the ancient books. It is really the most powerful discovery in history. How could it be someone else made it out of thin air?

The bronze wares of Shang and Zhou Dynasties have always been the favorite of Jinshi archaeologists. Since the Song Dynasty, many scholars have been fond of studying these bronze wares with inscriptions, and they have made great achievements until now. As many Shang and Zhou bronzes were unearthed successively, the research on this aspect is also being perfected.

The inscriptions on this artifact can basically be recognized by the three experts. Through the analysis of it, we can see the complete titles of the kings of the Zhou Dynasty, which is completely consistent with Sima Qian's description in Shiji. Artifacts are of great significance to the archaeological and historical academic circles. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are cross-age discoveries. How could they be fake?

Fan Wubing and Zhang Donkey sat there smiling. Only the two of them know about this.

At that time, the shape of the map was drawn by Fan Wubing from his memory.

He only remembered a rough idea of ​​the inscription on it. The two deliberately referred to the unearthed artifacts. and ancient literature. Such an inscription, which is quite satisfactory and has more unique historical value than the previous land relics, was produced. As for the casting method. It is the ground pottery model casting method used to cast bronzes in the Shang and Zhou dynasties. Although this method has long been lost. But Fan Wubing knew that there was a bronze casting site from the Western Zhou Dynasty under the rocky ground. And it is also clear about the general process. So the two of them got Tao Fan out together. Then I went to the market to buy a large number of ancient copper coins at a low price. Cast bronze. After the bronze ware is made. First use a jade carving machine to polish the inner shell. After the outer wall of the utensil is very thin. It feels like the real thing.

Then it was mixed with acid and copper shavings to paste the whole body of the bronze ware. Then put it in a clay kiln that can be heated for drying. After about a week to two weeks. This thing is done. Bronze ware was made in this way. The rust color is solid and does not leak. Even fan lines and fan marks can be imitated.

Of course this is not the end. Many experts in identifying antiques know it. The green rust on the bronze ware is easy to imitate. Erythema is difficult to do. The imitation erythema is light in color. Poke it off with a hard object.

The erythema on the Shang and Zhou bronzes is hard and firm. Not easy to get off. This is also the most difficult technical difficulty for many counterfeiters. Because most appraisal experts. It is by looking at the erythema to distinguish the true from the false.

Fan Wubing's idea was rather damaged. He asked Zhang Donkey to buy a worthless broken bronze with red spots from the graveyard price. Then remove the erythema. Then use machinery and equipment to dig trenches on the bronze ware that I made. Finally, use military superglue from Russia to stick the red spots on it.

This military super glue is strong and not afraid of fire. You can burn it with a knife and scrape it with a knife. This red spot grew on the bronze ware, as if it was born from the bronze ware. According to the method provided by Fan Wubing, Zhang Maolu made these dozens of bronze wares, which really shocked the appraisal experts.

But there are also disadvantages in doing so, that is, there are many patterns on the body of the bronze ware, and it is a bit difficult and labor-intensive to plant red spots on these patterns.

But Zhang Maolu himself is a little cautious. The more difficult it is to deal with, the more delicate it is, because there are convex and concave spots on the pattern, it is inconvenient to plant red spots, and the ancient bronzes have been buried in the soil for thousands of years. Whether there is erythema is determined by the composition of the exposed chemicals, and we will not specifically pick erythema where there is no pattern. For this reason, he also specially studied some famous Shang and Zhou bronzes that had been unearthed, and after learning the scriptures, he finally made them perfect.

Most of the buyers have invited experts to look at them. The fellow masters who are interested in collecting, if they see these red-spotted bronze wares, they must carefully observe the whole body of the bronze wares. If the bronze wares are covered with red spots, but there are no patterns, it will definitely arouse suspicion.

Of course, they definitely cannot explain this method to the experts, but in order to prove that these things are fake, Zhang Maolu is also holding back, and now it is time to reveal the secret, "I want to know the truth , you only need to get a stronger white newspaper, and then pat it in that container, and the result will come naturally.”

The three old men felt a little strange, what kind of identification method is this?

However, the staff were more enthusiastic. They immediately found a white newspaper, and stuffed it into the container according to what Zhang Donkey said. After patting and knocking for a while, they took out the white newspaper and said, " It's done, it's dirty, what can you see?"

The three old men also came over and studied on the paper for a long time, and there was no problem. After all, there are not too many tricks on the inner walls of these utensils. They just look dirty. a ball

Donkey Zhang chuckled, then took the white newspaper over, and asked a person next to him, "Is there any equipment for viewing X-ray films in the hospital?"

It turned out that people really have this kind of equipment here, probably used to watch some movies when analyzing the case.

So Zhang Mao asked someone to put the white newspaper in front of the light source, and it turned out that something was wrong right away.

Immediately, everyone in the room was stunned, and then they couldn't laugh or cry.

That dirty white newspaper, on the graphics reflected by the light source, actually showed a child's graffiti-like ** shape, and an abstract red sun. This kind of thing can't be understood as accidental phenomenon.

Could it be that the ancients would still come up with such tricks? What is even more infuriating is that there is a line of indistinct words crookedly under the **** graphic, which is "made

One of the old men snatched a piece of white newspaper with his face blushing, and took a picture of the inside of another bronze vessel for a long time, and then put it on the light source. The graphics that appeared this time were the same, but not exactly the same. , but generally it is this thing, there are **, there is the sun, and there is "bsp; after trying a few times, the old men are ashamed to try again. It is the four major genres that are beyond the reach.

Now the middle-aged people in the security department have nothing to say. Fan Wubing and Zhang Maolu really proved that these utensils are fakes in a ridiculous way, so naturally there is no harm to the national interest. The situation has changed, as for what they can exchange for from overseas, it really has nothing to do with others.

The three experts were warned by the middle-aged man not to publicize at this time, and then left.

"Okay, Mr. Fan, I'm really sorry. This time the matter is too big. Dozens of national treasure bronzes are enough to shake the whole world. Otherwise, I wouldn't bother you." The middle-aged man Some helplessly looked at Fan Wubing and said to him.

"It's okay, actually I should tell you in advance, it's not shameful to lie to foreigners." Fan Wubing said with a smile, "It's just that I don't want too many people to know about it, otherwise I will It doesn't work."

The middle-aged man nodded and assured, "Don't worry, there is no problem here." Then he added, "The gang you contacted is an international cultural relics smuggling group, and it is very large. If there is a chance, Play harder."

Fan Wubing laughed and said, "You don't have to worry about this, I just wanted them to bleed, how could such a good opportunity be missed?"

People from the security department helped Fan Wubing repackage these things, and then sent them back to New Silk Road Entertainment Company by car.

Fan Wubing said to Zhang Maolu, "The group that can be sent by the security department to nail the nails is definitely not ordinary. For this transaction, we will reduce the number by half and keep it as a backup. Otherwise, if they want to take advantage of others, It's still a bit of a hassle."

"Understood, I will deal with it carefully." Zhang Maolu nodded and accepted Fan Wubing's suggestion.
