Rebirth 93: Break off the engagement at the beginning and marry Bai Fumei

Hearing Jiang Huan's question, Jiang Guangtai took a sip of water from his teacup and signaled Chen Yang to talk to Jiang Huan.

"The reason is very simple. The ink used in ancient paintings has a certain oiliness in it. As time goes by, an oil film will form on the surface of the ink."

Chen Yang looked at Jiang Huan and explained to her seriously, "Although we can't see or touch this oil film, it does exist. And as I said just now, old ink has a hard texture and dark color. The protection of this layer of oil film forms a blocking effect on water droplets. Although it does not completely separate the water droplets from the ink marks and prevent them from being immersed in the ink, it at least plays a certain blocking role in a short period of time."

"So that's it!" After hearing what Chen Yang said, Jiang Huan nodded and thought about it.

Jiang Guangtai continued to add, "Under normal circumstances, as long as there are calligraphy and paintings that are hundreds of years old, there will be an oil film on the ink marks. This method was often used by old gentlemen in our time, but it is almost no longer used."

"Such a good idea, Second Grandpa, why don't you use it anymore?" Jiang Huan asked Jiang Guangtai doubtfully from the side.

This method is so good. It only takes a drop of water to detect whether it is old. Why doesn't everyone use such a good method?

Jiang Guangtai glanced at Jiang Huan, snorted slightly, and said angrily, "Why not? You are just a framer. Tell me why? You can't even figure it out?"

Jiang Huan frowned and scratched his head beside him. He couldn't figure out why? It is a very useful method, but why do people abandon it?

Chen Yang looked at Jiang Huan and couldn't help but feel like laughing. This little girl was quite cute.

"Appraisal of calligraphy and painting, what should be appraised first?"

Hearing Chen Yang ask himself, Jiang Huan raised his head and looked at Chen Yang. Does this guy think he doesn't understand anything? Who doesn't know such a simple question?

"Of course, we must first identify the ink, style, charm, signature font and format of the calligraphy and painting itself, and the characteristics of the seal and seal cutting!" Jiang Huan looked at Chen Yang and said unconvinced.

Chen Yang smiled and snapped his fingers, "Wrong!"

In fact, what Jiang Huan said is not wrong. This is what most antique collectors look at first. They read the chapter first, and then study the calligraphy, style and characteristics.

"Wrong?" Jiang Huan opened his eyes and looked at Chen Yang, "Then what do you want to see first?"

Chen Yang crossed his legs and leaned on the chair. He suddenly remembered that the elder Jiang Guangtai was still there, so he put his legs down, "Of course, read the paper first!"

"Look...paper!" Jiang Huan understood instantly and slapped his head fiercely. What happened to Zitian!

When you get a calligraphy and painting in your hands, you don’t need to look at anything else. Look at the paper first. If the paper is right, it’s almost right; if the paper is wrong, it’s useless even if you have the right calligraphy, right chapter, right painting style, and right charm.

Can Ming Dynasty painters use Qing Dynasty paper? Can I use paper from the Tang Dynasty? A painter in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China would not be able to use paper from the early Ming Dynasty, nor could he use modern paper, so if you first look at the paper you use, you can definitely make the same difference.

But if you encounter those times when the two eras were connected in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, then it’s a different story.

"Modern people mainly look at the paper when appraising calligraphy and paintings," Chen Yang continued beside him. "Experts generally have no doubts after confirming that there is nothing wrong with the paper."

"Then your grandfather's time was different. When Jiang was young, there were still people who could find paper from the early Republic of China or the late Qing Dynasty, so they not only had to identify the paper, but also the ink."

After hearing this, Jiang Guangtai looked at Chen Yang with approval. Not only was this kid very capable, he also had a great brain. Jiang Huan's thinking was fixed in the form just now, but he jumped out directly.

"This is the only way to identify whether there is an oil film on the ink," Jiang Guangtai put down the tea cup and said to Jiang Huan, "And now, every authentic work is very precious, and dripping water is very risky, so it is not a last resort. At that time, no one would be willing to use this method to verify the authenticity of an ancient painting."

Jiang Huan nodded, indicating that he understood. A few people sat and chatted. Song Qingyun and Jiang Guangtai talked about tomorrow's meeting. Jiang Guangtai said that he actually didn't want to go. Counterfeits appear every year, and as the antique market improves, there are more and more counterfeits.

"These so-called experts, do you think they really want to control those fakes? Hmph!" Jiang Guangtai snorted coldly, "The more fakes there are on the market, the happier they will be, so that the real things in their hands are valuable! "

Jiang Guangtai even broke the news that there are one or two experts who have absolutely nothing to do with counterfeit pints. Otherwise, those who are cheating can fake the real thing?

While several people were chatting, Jiang Guangzheng came down from upstairs, still holding Chen Yang's painting in his hand and a small piece of yellow silk in his other hand.

Jiang Guangtai and Jiang Guangzheng nodded to each other, which was regarded as a greeting between the brothers. Jiang Guangzheng put the things on the table and motioned to Chen Yang and others to see for themselves.

"What is this stuff?"

I saw a piece of yellow satin placed on the table, with embroidery threads of various colors embroidering a pattern on it, including mountains and water. It looked more like a map, but it was incomplete.

Several people gathered around the portrait and map to study it. Whether it was the paper used for the portrait or the piece of yellow satin, the era matched it, but what exactly did it mean?

"Could it be Shi Dakai's treasure map?" Jiang Guangzheng said from the side with a hoarse voice.

Shi Da opens the treasure map! Hearing this, Chen Yang's eyes lit up. This was very possible, and judging from the age of paper and silk, it was also consistent. If this were true, it would be incredible.

Hearing what his brother said, Jiang Guangtai shook his head, frowned and said, "I don't think it's possible."

Then he pointed at the portrait, "Although the paper and silk materials used in this portrait are consistent with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom period, look at the embroidery thread on it. This is the most common embroidery thread. It will last for decades. If it were not for protection, Okay, it’s probably been disconnected a long time ago.”

"Moreover, look at this piece of satin. It is high-quality satin. It was used by the royal family in ancient times. He, Shi Dakai, is a Wing King. How dare he use such a thing?"

Jiang Guangzheng also expressed his opinion. Shi Dakai was interviewed and came out of the mountain at the age of sixteen, commanded thousands of troops at the age of nineteen, and was awarded the title of King of Wings at the age of twenty. With such achievements, can he be willing to be a prince?

At that time, Hong Xiuquan used Wei Changhui in Nanjing to kill Yang Xiuqing's entire family. Shi Da, who learned the news, went back to mediate. But Wei Changhui not only refused to accept Shi Dakai's mediation, but instead killed Shi Dakai's family and more than 20,000 of his followers in Nanjing.

In order to take revenge, Shi Dakai mobilized tens of thousands of frontline soldiers to fight back to Nanjing to avenge his family and subordinates. Hong Xiuquan was afraid that the matter would cause too much trouble, so he only chopped off the head of Wei Changhui, which was regarded as an explanation to Shi Dakai.

"If it were you, would you be able to get over it?" Jiang Guangzheng asked his brother, "I think it should be from this time on that Shi Dakai had the idea of ​​overthrowing Hong Xiuquan and ascending to power. Otherwise, why would the Qing soldiers pursue him so closely? Instead of returning to Nanjing, he went to Sichuan instead?"

Jiang Guangtai agreed with his brother's statement, but his refutation was about Sichuan Liu Xiang. At that time, Liu Xiang had already found the location of these treasures and secretly dispatched more than 1000 engineers to (Anshun Field) to excavate the Shidakai treasures.

After the engineers dug into the mountain wall, they discovered three cave doors sealed with Sanhe soil and lined with stone strips. Because the caves were very strong, the engineers sent by Liu Xiang only dug out the first two doors, which had gilt bronze vessels, gold foreheads, and The excavation of the third large cave was blocked by Chiang Kai-shek.

Liu Xiang originally wanted to wait for things to calm down and continue digging, but he was sent by Chiang Kai-shek to fight against Japan soon after, and the treasure digging was abandoned.

"It is said that Chiang Kai-shek later sent Dai Li, but because the landslide changed the landscape, he could no longer be found. In the end, Chiang Kai-shek had no choice but to ask Dai Li to withdraw."

Speaking of this, Jiang Guangtai took a sip of water and said, "Later, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were still people looking for these treasures, but everyone returned without success."

As he spoke, Jiang Guangtai glanced at Chen Yang and saw that Chen Yang was frowning, looking at the silk and satin on the table, thinking carefully about something.

Why does the landform above feel so familiar to me, but I can't remember where it is for a while?
