My system is not decent

Chen Wenzhe once saw an old copy of Ouyang Xun's "Jiucheng Palace Liquan Ming" in the antique market.

At first hand, I can only feel that the inscriptions of Weng Fang Gang, a great Jinshi family in the Qing Dynasty, are very powerful, but the old version of "Jiucheng Palace Liquan Ming" is extremely dull, not the original extension.

Later, it was found that the inscription and postscript of Weng Fanggang on this book was cloned from the inscription and postscript of Weng Fanggang on "The Monument of Huadu Temple".

The postscript of the original inscription has Weng Fanggang's seal "Su Zhai Mo Yuan", while the fake postscript on the table copy of "Jiucheng Palace Liquan Ming" has no Weng Fanggang's seal.

Whether rubbings are collected by celebrities will also affect the price of rubbings.

Therefore, counterfeiters often forge some seals of identification and collection on rubbings, so we should also pay attention to this.

Forged collection seals of past dynasties are often stamped at one time.

The color of the seals of different people in different eras is the same, which is contrary to common sense.

In addition, the forged seals are often of poor seal cutting level.

Now many people will buy some inscriptions to practice calligraphy.

Especially for those rich people who have money and leisure and want to cultivate their sentiments, it is easier for them to be fooled.

For these people, they are very confident in what they bought, and they don't think that the rubbings they bought may be fake.

In fact, no matter what your social status is, how can the antique shop cheat you, or how will you cheat.

The above-mentioned counterfeiting methods are relatively easy to identify.

If it is made by ancient people, it will be more difficult to identify.

After all, whether it is technology or the butcher knife of time, it will increase the difficulty of identification.

But Chen Wenzhe has more research on ancient technology.

There are many ways to falsify ancient inscriptions, mainly including re-engraving, re-engraving, and fake engraving.

Of course, there are also embedded wax filling, dyeing to fill the old, and fake inscriptions.

In modern times, it is necessary to add modern technology, so that there are photocopying and zinc plates, scraping, repairing, inking, matching, seals, ink gas and decoration falsification, etc.

Chen Wenzhe picked out the ones with obvious mistakes while looking at them. He picked them out directly.

Also, the ones that are particularly famous.

Because now Chen Wenzhe found out, don't post too much here, not all of Ouyang Xun's works, but also other celebrities' works, which is very exaggerated.

For example, the Yishan Monument, which is a fake inscription, is very distinctive.

Of course, sometimes it is not genuine, and it does not mean that it is worthless, especially some ancient fakes.

It's like a Yishan stele in Chen Wenzhe's hands. The rubbing method is very old, and it should be re-engraved.

Re-engraving and re-engraving refer to the re-engraved version because the original has been destroyed or lost long ago.

Because the original stone does not exist and the rubbings are extremely rare, this kind of original has become an orphan, or even not handed down at all, so the value of the reprint cannot be underestimated.

However, there are often more than one kind of reprints, and the time is sequential, and the quality is also divided into good and bad.

For example, in Qin's "Yishan Monument", it is said that it was overthrown by Wei Wu, and the people in the city burned it but did not pass it on.

Du Fu once said: "The stele of Yishan was burned by wildfire, and the inscriptions on Zaomu are distorted."

It can be seen that there were copies in the Tang Dynasty, but unfortunately they were not handed down.

Only Xu Xuan's copy south of Zheng Wenbao in August of the fourth year of Song Chunhua's reign has survived to this day.

This copy was re-engraved in Chang'an, and later copies were made of the Chang'an version in Shaoxing, Pujiang, Jiangning, Qingshe, Shuzhong, Zouxian and other places.

Others include Cao Quan Stele and Shi Chen Stele.

Although the inscriptions are still there, but because of the distance and inconvenience of digging, or because of the loss of Yujimo Lake due to the age, the stele dealers still re-engraved the original stones, which are called reprints.

Most of the reprinted editions were hastily carved, most of the engravers were illiterate, there were many errors in the strokes, and the original stele still exists, so they are almost worthless.

After Qianlong and Jiaqing of this kind of engravings, many types of stone carvings, wood carvings, gray paint, mud wall carvings, etc. came into being.

Among them, tile ash is mixed with raw lacquer, or clay plate making is the most popular.

Because it is light on profit and heavy on carving, it is easy to re-carve. Although it is more crude than wood and stone carvings, the most circulated and listed.

The titles of the reprinted editions range from the Qin and Han Dynasties to the four mountains and cliffs.

Often only [-] or [-] copies of the withered version are expanded at a time, and there are also more than a dozen copies, and the version is damaged.

Therefore, the initial extension can still guarantee the quality, but later it will be completely different.

These are not the most exaggerated, the most exaggerated should be works like Wang Xizhi's Preface to the Holy Teaching and the Preface to Lanting.

Some counterfeiters, based only on the information in books, fabricated texts, written and engraved, which are called fake engravings.

Because the counterfeit engraving is fabricated without any basis, it is better to copy the engraving, which is worthless.

In order to deceive people's trust, fake engravings often lie that they were unearthed in a certain place in a certain month.

Some deceive people with rubbings, and some simply sell stone carvings together.

For example, "Yingling Zhili Stele", "Zhang Feili Ma Ming", "Tao Hongjing Epitaph" in Han Dynasty are such fake carvings.

What Chen Wenzhe is holding now is not the inscriptions of the Han stele, these should be fakes.

However, it must be of some value if Li Tianqiang can collect them here.

These should be fakes from the Ming Dynasty, because there were so many fakes in this period.

There were quite a lot of fake Han monuments in the Ming Dynasty, but because the calligraphy looks very similar, it is easy for inexperienced people to believe that they are genuine.

It can be said that no matter ancient or modern, as long as there is interest, there must be someone who forgery.

Since there are fake works by Wang Xizhi here, naturally there will be works by Wang Xianzhi.

Chen Wenzhe flipped through it, and quickly picked out two books, one was Wang Xianzhi's "Jiangzhou Tie", and the other was Wang Xianzhi's Luoshen Fu Thirteen Lines.

These are obviously unlikely to be authentic.

From these inscriptions, it can be clearly seen that there are many problems.

But if there is no problem, it can only be concluded based on the reputation that it cannot be genuine, and there are quite a few such works.

Of course, it has been verified by the ancients, and there are many that are considered to be fakes.

Because since the middle of the Qing Dynasty, textual research has been very popular.

Dinghai Fangruo also wrote "Essays on School Monuments", which is dedicated to researching the age of calligraphy and painting damage on famous steles.

For example, "Lujiang Taishou Hengfang Stele" in the Han Dynasty, based on the fact that the word "Jiang" in the stele is not damaged, it is judged that it was extended in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties.

The "Ma Ming Temple Stele" of the Northern Wei Dynasty has not yet been broken, so it can be inferred to be a rubbing before Daoguang.

Forgers should use their own judgment to insert wax into the damaged characters or breaks of the original stele to fill in the old extensions. The method of forgery is even higher.

Therefore, all old rubbings are found to be weak and suspicious in the textual research, or if the ink and paper are not old enough, and the color is unorthodox, one must be cautious.

Without careful study, it is difficult to draw conclusions.

By this time, Chen Wenzhe was already a little dizzy.

This kid Li Tianqiang really dared to accept him.

Not to mention those steles, but these inscriptions, as long as there is one genuine product in it, no matter how much you pay, you should not lose money.

But, is this possible?

Seeing piles of rubbings, Chen Wenzhe simply threw the copy of Wang Xizhi's Lanting Preface on the ground.

Turn your head to look at other steles, there are few steles, so let's take a look first!

what is this?Just looking at it for a while, Chen Wenzhe was a little surprised.

The stone tablet hidden here seems to be more famous.
