It turned out that the old librarian was proficient in calligraphy and painting, so he also studied the paper used for calligraphy and painting.

The old curator said that the paper used in this painting was a kind of leather paper that appeared in the north only during the reign of emperor Yongqian of the Qing Dynasty. Zhu Da was born in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. In particular, Zhu Da spent his life in the South and rarely came to the north. The most important thing is that when Zhu Da died, Kangxi was not dead. How could he use this kind of leather paper to paint?

Finally, the old curator decided that the painting was a very good high imitation. If there were no problems on the drawing paper, it would be difficult to distinguish the authenticity of the painting.

Grandpa didn't give up at first. He took the painting to his hometown and asked an expert from the National Palace Museum to give it a hand. At first, the expert didn't see the authenticity of the painting. When Grandpa said there might be something wrong with the paper of the painting, the expert asked a friend who specializes in paper to have a look, As a result, the answer given by the man was the same as that of the old librarian.

However, the expert also said that the painting of Zhu Da could be imitated so as to confuse the true with the false. It is estimated that it is also the handwriting of a master. If there were not the same authentic work in the world, the price of this painting would not be much lower.

At this point, Grandpa gave up. But grandpa never let outsiders move the painting, so he hasn't figured out who copied it.

A family handed down jade plaque was replaced with such a fake. Grandpa had nothing to say when he took this medicine.

Grandpa didn't take medicine before. He really took the medicine too badly this time. Not to mention the value of the family jade card, the key is that the old man is going to keep it for his son Li long. As a result, the jade card that has been handed down for three generations disappeared because of a hole

Grandpa was depressed for some time because of this. He didn't even go to the ghost market.

However, grandma was very good and had been silently caring for Grandpa. Finally, it took her more than a year to get out of the shadow.

Grandpa learned from the bitter experience, decided to stand up again wherever he fell, and began to ponder over the paper.

He spent money to buy a camera, and then every time he went to the ghost market, he took a camera with him. When he saw the ancient books and paintings, he photographed them on paper, and then studied the paper used in those ancient books and paintings. Later, Tianqu had its own antique market. More people gathered in the antique market, and grandpa had more opportunities to take photos. Sometimes Grandpa will buy some remnant pages of ancient books as samples.

In this way, from 1987 in the last century to 2010 in the new century before grandpa's illness, grandpa has accumulated a total of five such ancient books, ancient paintings, paper photos and samples, including thousands of paper photos and samples produced in different times and places. Yang Jing has been ordered by grandpa to read these five books frequently since she was a child, and I don't know how many times she has read them.

To make no exaggeration, if Grandpa's five books were seen by people in the industry, they would definitely be bought at a high price.

It is the most professional book about ancient books and paintings on the market. None of the five books made by grandpa is more detailed and comprehensive.

When Yang Jing was a child, Yang Jing heard grandpa talk about the matter of taking medicine.

Yang Jing clearly remembers that Grandpa summed up a sentence for himself: "how to play with antiques? First of all, you have to understand antiques. If you don't understand antiques, you will play with antiques, and eventually you will stumble. But the antiques industry in our country is broad and profound. You can never master everything, so you keep learning. Only by constantly learning to enrich yourself can you try to avoid drilling and taking medicine."

When Grandpa said this sentence, Yang Jing was only six or seven years old, but Yang Jing remembered it very, very clearly. It is this sentence that has been urging Yang Jing to keep learning.

In addition to these five books, grandpa also made many other types of books, such as porcelain and miscellaneous antiques. Although they are not professional books, they are more detailed than professional books. These books are basically Yang Jing's extracurricular books when she was a child, and Yang Jing read them not twice, but many times

Thanks to Grandpa's blessing, although Yang Jing has not received professional training in antique antiques since childhood, Yang Jing is also very proficient in antique antiques because he has a grandfather who can be called a folk antiques master.

Grandpa also found that his grandson looked up at the fake painting. The old man smiled and said: "Xiao Jing, I've told you many times. Since you want to step into this industry, you can't be afraid of taking medicine and playing with antiques. If you haven't taken medicine, you can't be a real expert. The so-called experts and professors slowly improve their level by taking medicine again and again."

After a pause, the old man took the book from his uncle with some difficulty, flipped it and continued: "the two pages in the book you picked up are a little different, and they are done so well. I doubt whether these two pages are song engraved copies, otherwise the man would not cover up the two pages in this way."

The old man's hand paused and said to himself, "well, it's here..." the old man compared page 6 of Huajian Ji with a photo in the book with a magnifying glass and studied it for a while. Grandpa shook his head disappointed.

The next time, Grandpa kept repeating this action and kept busy for nearly an hour. In the middle, the aunt asked grandpa to come over for dinner and was scolded by grandpa.

As long as grandpa is studying an antique stationery, he hates to be disturbed by others. Yang Jing and his uncle know the old man's temper, so they have never dared to mention dinner.

Suddenly, the old man patted the armrest of the chair excitedly and laughed loudly.

"That's right! If I'm not mistaken, the paper used in these two pages should be a kind of bamboo paper produced in Meizhou under Dufu road in the early Southern Song Dynasty! Xiao Jing, do you remember anything?"

Yang Jing said, "Grandpa, do you mean the seven histories of Mei mountain?"

Grandpa smiled, nodded and said: "That's right! If I'm not mistaken, the paper used in these two pages of books should be the paper used when Jing Du, Jing xianmeng, presided over the engraving of the seven histories of eyebrows and mountains! People all over the world know that the Song Shu engraving is precious, and the peak work of the Song Shu engraving is eyebrows. The seven histories of mountains. In the early Southern Song Dynasty, the Shu engraving was the best in the whole Southern Song Dynasty, and the Meizhou engraving was the best. But it's time Later, when Zhejiang and jianben came up, Shu's status gradually declined, mainly because it was too difficult to get in and out of Sichuan. In the Ming Dynasty, Shu's status was lower. However, in the Southern Song Dynasty, most of the bamboo paper used in Shu was a kind of bamboo paper locally in Meizhou, while in the Ming Dynasty, most of the paper used in Shu was Jiajiang paper. Here, these are Meizhou paper and Jiajiang paper. "

Grandpa said, pointing to the two samples in the book, "Look at the difference! Although the technology of Jiajiang paper was invented in the Tang Dynasty, it rose in the Ming Dynasty and Song Dynasty. Jiajiang paper was not famous. At least, as far as I know, the Yinmei and Shanqi history engraved by Jing Du, Jing Xian and Meng were not made of Jiajiang paper. Therefore, if my inference is true, these two pages of Huajian collection may be Song Shu Engrave. "

After a pause, the old man took off his reading glasses and smiled, "Xiao Jing, you may have picked up a big leak! If these two pages of flower collection are really Song Shu carvings, its value is immeasurable, especially the thin gold Song Shu carvings, which are really rare."

Yang Jing also smiled, "Grandpa, in fact, when I bought this book this morning, it was because I felt that these pages were not right, so I spent 10000 yuan to buy this book. Moreover, not only are these two pages wrong, but there are five pages in this book..."

Hearing this, Grandpa's mouth couldn't help opening wide.
