As the saying goes, "chaotic gold, prosperous collection", from ancient times to the present, collecting is a way of life for people. Nowadays, with the continuous improvement of the national economic level, collecting has become a part of the life of senior professional collectors down to ordinary working class. With the rapid development of the collection market, many problems have also come, in this collection market, a little carelessness may lose nothing. The antique collection industry tests the eyesight, and since ancient collections, there are leaks and eyes. Professor Li Zongyang, member of the Beijing Municipal Cultural Relics Appraisal Committee, associate researcher of Wenbo and famous porcelain appraisal expert, made the following analysis on porcelain appraisal.
"In fact, this porcelain identification is very easy, it is not a difficult thing, what is so difficult?" As long as you really learn it well, it won't be difficult. Talking about the authenticity of porcelain, Li Zongyang bluntly said that collectors have three major misunderstandings.
Li Zongyang
First, it is easy to believe the story, obsessed with and convinced of the storytelling. "I have seen too many such people, in the field of identification, some bosses spend tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of things to buy are fake, not a single old." Even if there is one piece of the Republic of China, it is a pity that there is no one. Li Zongyang lamented for these people, "These people don't pay attention to learning, and they listen to stories." How many generations of this porcelain in the story, grandpa was an official in the palace, and even more said that grandpa's grandfather was a eunuch in the palace, can it be faked if he stole it? None of these stories can be believed. ”
Second, it is easy to believe in irregular reference books. Don't refuse to learn to appreciate knowledge in order to save trouble and money, or even if you read, you can choose informal, non-professional books to read. This is dangerous. Some books are "copied books", some people who write books do not understand porcelain appreciation at all, the knowledge written is biased, according to this so-called theory to study, not only can not achieve the purpose of distinguishing the age of porcelain and authenticity, and the result can only be "more and more biased", so that often the real product as a fake, the fake as a real product.
Third, learn TV programs as formal training courses. Now the national collection fever has also spawned many collection treasure TV programs, for which Li Zongyang said that TV programs can be watched, but it cannot be used to replace formal training courses. In order to truly master the method of porcelain counterfeiting, it is necessary to systematically and comprehensively learn formal knowledge. "Treat it like a course in school, rather than casually and piecemeal listening to other people's opinions."
Li Zongyang identifies porcelain
"I agree with the porcelain water depth. The so-called depth of the water is nothing more than too many people who are 'flickering', and it is impossible to prevent it, and the end of being fooled is very tragic, and it can ruin the family. But I don't agree with the porcelain identification water depth, the porcelain knowledge itself is not deep, compared with the study of high technology, porcelain knowledge is too simple. ”
Li Zongyang revealed that the identification of porcelain can not be afraid of trouble, he pointed out that the porcelain of each dynasty has its own inherent style and characteristics, to grasp these one by one to remember, there is one aspect of the appraisal is not right, you have to think twice. Although this learning process is boring, it is also necessary to persevere. "Don't be afraid of trouble, keep the features you need to master in your head, and identify the authenticity of porcelain on any occasion, it's as simple as that." Li Zongyang said. Li Zongyang reminded collectors to eat every bit of knowledge thoroughly, not just learn a little bit of skin to be satisfied, or credulously believe in some so-called "tricks" to go to Taobao. Porcelain identification itself is a slow work and cannot be done overnight. Eyesight is accumulated through continuous learning, continuous consolidation, and continuous practice. See more, listen more, compare more, think more, and finally be cautious.
Li Zongyang is an expert collector
As for which aspects to learn, Li Zongyang said: "From the aspects of porcelain tires, porcelain glaze, color, ornamentation, modeling, and style recognition, there is no problem. "Each piece of porcelain is analyzed from these aspects, it seems troublesome, in fact, when the application is not skilled at the beginning, beginners may also need one observation after another, but when the use of proficiency, experience, will automatically and quickly distinguish from all angles, do not deliberately, but not troublesome."
"It is necessary to know what is 'true' first, which is the premise, in order to distinguish what is 'false'."
When talking about the development of the porcelain market, Li Zongyang said that the artificial speculation in the porcelain market in recent years has become obvious, such as the phenomenon of fake auctions on the auction field, such as some categories of porcelain whose price has been higher than its value, "even if there is a certain value, it will not be high." In the long run, high ancient porcelain should occupy a certain position in ancient porcelain. The market price will be reflected, but it is still far from reaching the height of high ancient porcelain. Li Zongyang believes that although the current auction company and the Tibetan community are relatively biased towards Ming and Qing dynasty porcelain, there is little publicity for high ancient porcelain, but high ancient porcelain is old, and has its unique artistic charm, whether from the perspective of cultural relics or history, its value is relatively high, and sooner or later it will be valued by the majority of collectors.
On October 18th, Henan Art and Large-scale Sea Selection Treasure Appraisal Activity was grandly held! Mr. Li Zongyang, a member of the Beijing Municipal Cultural Relics Appraisal Committee, will visit the Art and Art Museum to identify collectors, solve doubts and doubts, and welcome the active participation of collectors.
