The way to seek jade begins with one's own heart. Sage of the past, Bede Yuyu. If there is no jade virtue, how can there be jade edge? Therefore, it is necessary to quit impetuousness and eagerness, and start from cultivating oneself. If he deliberately sells counterfeits for the sake of profit, he will violate the jade virtue and will eventually eat the evil consequences of it, and should be abstained from being a good friend.
However, the world is not ancient. Those who love jade are gradually multiplying, and their interests are trending, and those who are counterfeiters are like flies that chase stink, and they are endless. Therefore, in addition to cultivating the mind, those who are good friends must also have clear eyes. And the art of counterfeiting is a new day, so that my generation can not be defended, why not?
Jade head, shang, height 6.3 cm, the widest 2.6cm, the thickest 0 .8cm.
It is now in the Palace Museum
It is jadeite and has a white water on the surface. The cross-section of the instrument is slightly triangular, and the high relief is a figure of a human head. Human fusiform eyes, outstretched, thick eyebrows, large mouth, thick lips, large ears, long neck, crown on the head, crown decorated with shaded lines. The reverse surface of this device is smooth, there is a mortise on the lower part, and there are still half hole marks on the mortise, which may be originally embedded and tied to some kind of utensil.
Foolishness is not talented, it is difficult to understand many high-imitation techniques, but firmly believe that the true one is true, the false one is false, and the ancient jade is condensed by the essence of heaven and earth and the wisdom of the ancestors, how can the gods of heaven and earth be deceived? Those who pretend to be fakes must have something difficult to imitate, and if they can understand the essence of the ancient jade that is really difficult to imitate, then the truth and falsehood will also be self-justified.
Mu Shi surveyed the experience of previous people in knowing jade, carefully examined the samples of authentic and false ancient jade, and secretly believed that the following points were difficult to imitate ancient jade. If the brothers are contemplating with all their hearts, they will have something to gain.
First, the "phosgene" is difficult to imitate. The jade of the ancients, committed to the soil, has been for thousands of years, but once unearthed, it will appear on its own. Although it is decayed like a chicken bone, it does not lose its light. -- However, the term "light" is "light", its hua is in "light", and its essence is also in "qi". If the fog is like smoke, if there is nothing, it must be carefully observed. There is light and no breath, and the "thief" is lost.
Second, it is difficult to imitate "mature". The predecessors, such as the ripe old jade", are "like boiled radish in white water", which is quite image. The reason for the old jade is that due to the torment of the geography of the years, the jade muscle is relaxed, and the appearance is full of water and milk. It is difficult for any jade that has not been buried in the earth for a long time to achieve this. Only the imitation of "old material and new work", although it is no different from the old, it is necessary to examine its working ear in detail.
Third, the "skin shell" is difficult to imitate. The shell of ancient jade is formed by thousands of years of alternating cold and summer, water and soil erosion, and the ancient jade produced in different regions, although the age is similar, the skin shell is also different. Or water puddles, or dry pits, or sand pits, or alkaline soil, each has its own shape. In recent years, although the leather work has been greatly improved, it is not difficult to identify the discerning collector - or Qinfu, or dry skin, or discoloration, or divine injury.
Fourth, the "craft" is difficult to imitate. Nowadays, the high imitation, the relics are handmade, so it is no longer a good idea to only use "new workers" and "old workers" as yardsticks. However, imitations are the first to be used, so the hand can be learned, and the craft is difficult to put in place. Such as the portrayal of Liangzhu, the gossamer of the warrior, the Mao Dao of the Western Zhou, the polishing of the Red Mountain... For example, comparing the craftsmanship of the real product, the ugliness of the imitation is now present.
Fifth, the difficulty of "regulation" is to imitate. In the past of the Han Dynasty, the jade was exclusively used by the gods and emperors, and its rules were very strict, and its system was very strict. Today's counterfeiters imitate it according to the catalogue, but it is often out of place. Take Liangzhu as an example, pay attention to the delicacy and precision of the public number ancient jade insect genuine god-man pattern, but sigh the divine ear, many imitations, never get closer.
Sixth, the difficulty of "Shen Yun" is imitation. Form can be imitated, God is difficult to find. The ancient jade workers did it with all their devotion and exhaustion, or they were exquisite, or simple and generous, all of them were full of looks. Counterfeits, on the other hand, either chase after the form and forget their gods, and lose their restraints; or they pretend to change their gods and lose their ugliness.
The magic of the Red Mountain, the subtlety of Liangzhu, the charm of the Shang Zhou, the magnificence of the Spring and Autumn Period, the strength of the Warring States, and the peak of the two Han Dynasties. If you taste the artifact of a thousand years, you will not be deceived by XiaoXiao.
