Chapter two hundred and fifty fifth laughable and generous

Yao Weige prepared two antiques for Yu Lifei, one was a screen on the bed, one was written with a song of Li Bai's "Quiet Night Thoughts" and the other was accompanied by a picture. The painting was a scholar, in the room, with his hands on his hands, looking at the moon in the sky and pondering deeply. The other was a blue and white water mountain bottle, a typical Qing style. There were mountains, water, pavilions, courtyards, and figures, which were concise and clear, and the strokes were thinner. Those landscapes and figures looked a little weak.

"Boss Yu, show me these two things. If possible, give me a price. If I sell them, I won't sell them. You won't let me suffer any losses, right?" Yao Weige said. After that, he returned to the poker table and ignored Yu Lifei.

Yu Lifei didn't say anything. After he slighted his head, he put on the white gloves he carried with him. In the past, when Yu Lifei wore gloves, he had to break a small hole in his fingers, otherwise he would not be able to judge the authenticity of the object at once. But now, all his gloves are brand new. Not to mention that they are separated by gloves, even if they are separated by thicker things, it will not affect his judgment.

But after Yu Lifei put on his gloves, he did not get started immediately. He circled around the table and looked carefully at the screen on the bed. Li Bai's "Quiet Night Thoughts" was popular. The bright moonlight in front of the bed was suspected to be frost on the ground. He looked up and thought of his hometown.

When Yu Lifei saw this poem, he had a bottom in his heart. Looking at the bottom of the screen, it was engraved with the Chenghua New Year of the Ming Dynasty. Seeing this bottom of the screen, Yu Lifei showed a firm smile on his lips. He judged this screen on the bed entirely based on his own knowledge and was very happy.

Looking at the blue and white landscape bottle again, Yu Lifei looked carefully and put it down again. This Qingshui landscape bottle was real. But the year was wrong. With the knowledge he had and the clarity of the three-dimensional figures in his mind, he felt that this should be from the middle and late Qing Dynasty. Looking at the water and mountain paintings on it carefully, Yu Lifei was sure that this was a bottle from the Xianfeng period.

"Boss Yu, how are you watching?" Yao Weige saw Yu Lifei finishing his reading soon, sat next to Zhu Huiteng and asked with a smile.

"That screen on the bed is not accurate. The blue and white landscape bottle is a bit wrong and the price is not high." Yu Lifei said lightly.

"Oh, I don't know much, can you tell me?" Yao Weige said in surprise. These two antiques. He went to the antique market to invite people to see them. The bosses of several antiques said that these two antiques are from the ages. Why did Yu Lifei only look at them a few times and see the details?

"We have memorized Li Bai's "Quiet Night Thoughts" when we were young. In fact, the original text of this poem is not the version we are familiar with. In Hong Mai's "Ten Thousand Tang Quatrains" in the Song Dynasty, the original poem is "Looking at the moonlight in front of the bed, it is suspected to be frost on the ground. Looking up at the mountain moon, looking down at the hometown." In the Ming Dynasty, "Ten Thousand Tang Quatrains" was revised, and "Looking up at the mountain moon" was changed to "Looking up at the bright moon". In the Qing Dynasty, Shen Deqian's "Tang Poems of Tang" was changed to "Looking up at the bright moonlight in front of the bed". Then in Hengtang Tuishi compiled "Three Hundred Tang Poems" and revised and combined these two sentences together. This screen is signed below, "The Ming Dynasty Chenghua", and at that time it was still "Looking at the moonlight in front of the bed." Yu Lifei said with a smile.

"Really?" Yao Weige was explained easily by Yu Lifei. He understood as soon as he heard it. He put down the card and ran over. After looking at it, it turned out that the poem on the screen was compiled by Hengtang Tuishi during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. The signature on the base was in Chenghua, the Ming Dynasty. Isn't this the big deal about the world?

"Boss Yu, I didn't expect you to know a lot." Zhu Huiteng didn't go over and look, but he knew that what Yu Lifei said was definitely true. Yao Weige didn't know what he was worried about, so he actually used a fake to fool people.

"This is nothing, it's just common sense for antique identification. If you don't even understand these common sense, be deceived, lose some money and make small money, be ridiculed by people with your companions, and let those who make fake goods succeed, that's not worth the loss." Yu Lifei said.

"Yao Weige, if you don't know antiques, don't use these fakes to deceive people. It doesn't matter if you show your eyes in shame, we have no face." Zhu Huiteng said sarcastically.

"Mr. Zhu, I also slapped him. If I hadn't met Boss Yu today, I wouldn't have known that there would be such great knowledge in antiques." Yao Weige smiled awkwardly, and he naturally knew it. But he never expected that Yu Lifei not only knew that the screen was fake, but also could tell where the problem was. Even if he wanted to refute, there was no way to start. If he still denies it, it would be ignorant.

"After all, you are not a person in the antique industry, so it is normal to get to the point." Yu Lifei said lightly.

"Boss Yu, can you tell me about this knowledge? I will not make such low-level mistakes in the future?" Yao Weige's face rarely appeared on his face, and he said embarrassedly.

"Actually, I don't know much. Since you want to listen, I'll talk about it. Lu You has a song called "Shi Er", which is also known to everyone. The beginning sentence "Die" means that everything is empty", actually wrote "Die Yuan knows everything is empty". The original "Yuan" was the Yuan of New Year's Day. Because before the Ming Dynasty, "The original" and "Yuan Zhi" were written as "Yuan Lai", "Yuan Zhi", and the word Yuan was originally intended. Later, Zhu Yuanzhang hated the Yuan Dynasty and could not even see the word Yuan, so he ordered the "Yuan Lai" to "The original", which became the common usage now. After understanding this blind spot of knowledge, if someone took out antiques from before the Ming Dynasty, the word "Original" appears in it, and there is no need to do other identification, it must be fake.

There is another idiom called "Talking about War on Paper", which refers to Zhao Kuo's tyrannical talk and was killed in Changping for 400,000 Zhao troops. But think about it carefully, Zhao Kuo was a man during the Warring States Period. When was paper invented? The prototype of paper was just in the Western Han Dynasty, and when was it in the Eastern Han Dynasty that paper appeared in the true sense. In fact, the idiom "Talking about War on Paper" first appeared. It was connected to Zhao Kuo in the late Qing Dynasty, which was almost the Republic of China period. If you see an antique book mentioning the story of Zhao Kuo talking about war on paper, just throw it away, it is undoubtedly fake.

Previously, a pair of blue and white thermos in the Ming Dynasty appeared in the antique industry, which was very exquisite. The owner claimed that it was used by Zheng He, which really scared many people. But when the inscription of this thermos was revealed, as long as it was an insider, he would be very happy. The inscription reads "The imperial palace of Emperor Zhu Shidi of Ming Dynasty, Wu Ziqiu of the Sixth Year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty". Anyone with a little common sense in literature and history knows that Chengzu of Ming Dynasty is a temple name, and it will only appear after the emperor dies. How could it appear in the sixth year of Yongle?

Some people argued that the temple name might be prepared by the emperor during his lifetime? This is another standard blind spot for knowledge. In fact, the temple name after Zhu Di was Emperor Taizong of the Ming Dynasty. It was not until more than a hundred years later, when Emperor Jiajing was in power that Zhu Di's temple name was changed to Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty. Later generations used to call him Chengzu Zhu Di, but people at that time would never call him that." When Yu Lifei talked about these identification knowledge, he knew it.

"I have learned a lot of knowledge today. Boss Yu, your bottle is true, but the era is wrong. What era is that?" Yao Weige asked. He always thought that this bottle was from the Yongzheng period, but Yu Lifei said it was wrong. He now knows that Yu Lifei is actually very knowledgeable. Even if he wants to refute, he will not be able to say it casually, so as not to make a laugh.

"This involves some professionals. This bottle should be from the Xianfeng period. The reason for this judgment is that the characteristic of Xianfeng blue and white porcelain is that it is very thin and weak. During the Xianfeng period, no matter what you draw, it becomes powerless.

For example, when painting the same tree, the pairs drawn in the early Qing Dynasty were all strong and powerful. The trees drawn in the Xianfeng period were like backgrounds placed on the stands, and a piece of paper was inserted there, which was a half-dead tree. In Xianfeng period, a horse was painted very much like a horse that had just finished performing in a circus. It was wilted and had no vitality when it came out. The mountains drawn in the Yongzheng period were mountains, trees were trees, and animals were animals.

This was caused by the historical period at that time. Everyone knows that the Xianfeng Dynasty was not as good as the Yongzheng Emperor, and even the kiln workers knew that they were not as good as the ancestors now. They were not as good as Yongzheng, so they had to paint according to Yongzheng. Therefore, during the Xianfeng Dynasty, they imitated a large number of porcelains from the Yongzheng period, and all the "Yongzheng Year of the Qing Dynasty" were written below, and the ancestors' stamps were written, but not their own stamps." Yu Lifei said.

"Listen to your words is better than reading for ten years. Boss Yu, do you want this blue and white landscape bottle?" Yao Wei asked with a smile.

"The bottles in Xianfeng are not worth much money. The shop next to me is full of blue and white vases, all from the middle and late Qing dynasties." Yu Lifei shook his head gently and said. He was very alert to Yao Weige. He didn't know the origin of this thing, and he didn't want it.

"That's it." Yao Weige felt disappointed.

"Boss Yu, Mr. Zhu is very angry tonight, and he is not a farmer. Do you want to play a few games together?" Lin Xing said suddenly.

"You only deal four hands, and I don't know how to bet." Yu Lifei said with a smile.

"It doesn't matter. You can just do whatever hand you want, run freely, and you can't bet." Zhu Huiteng patted Yu Lifei's shoulder and said.

"Okay, I'll play for a while, are there any restrictions on betting?" Yu Lifei asked.

"There is no limit today, but my capital is insufficient, only 500,000 or 600,000 yuan, you have to make me afford it." Lin Xing said with a smile.

"Okay. Is there any order of this card handing over?" Yu Lifei asked again.

"The dealer gets the cards first, and others can get the cards as they like." Lin Xing said.

"I think this is good. The dealer will get the cards first. Is it okay to get the cards according to the size of the bet? Whoever sets the bet is bigger, let him get the cards first. Of course, the running ones do not count." Yu Lifei said with a smile.

"Okay, Boss Yu's head is full of inspiration, this idea is good." Although Lin Xing felt a little uncomfortable, what Yu Lifei said was reasonable and he could only agree with it.
