 Heritage dean's embarrassment
dedicated to Chu Li Wang. Li Wang command Yujiang identification. Yujiang saw said: ; wait Li Wang died, King Wu came to the throne, Bian, and again the stone dedicated to King Wu. King Wu letting Yujiang identification, Yu Jiang said: He, also ordered the amputation of his right foot; Later, King Wu died, King Wen came to the throne. So, Bian, and then holding the stone, even in the Chu foot next three days and nights crying, tears shed, the blood cried out. King Wen, after hearing this, sent to go check, asked him: I am not sad for the loss of his legs, but sad as was the gem stone, the faithful people in as a liar, this is the reason I'm sad ah! , and she received a priceless piece of jade, then named ancient, its reasoning is not difficult to understand their feelings, but to someone tell you: this thing is still frequently occur in humans began to walk the moon today, would you believe me?
2006   4 early morning, ground Beijing North Third Ring Road at the Great Bell Temple relics market bustling as usual, crowded. A white-haired old man on crutches in a young man, accompanied by the slow pace to browse the rows of a wide variety of stall.
old man went to a booth selling bronze stop pace, pointing with his stick on a bronze sword to spread. stall carefully picked up on the ground that the production of fine bronze sword, his hands respectfully delivery to the old man. It seems old man is also a frequent visitor here, the vendors of his movements are able to understand.
buyers generally see things like Seven Questions asked eight vendors to the mouth of condoms by asking the wind, from which to further judge The authenticity of the goods and the price level. But this little old man had never asked, took bronze sword in his hand a weigh weigh, and then the sword carefully looked for a few minutes mm over 50 cm long, dark brown, full of carved blade dark diamond pattern, showing a little green rust, the last eight gold inscriptions legible wrong: Sword of the Yue unearthed, the famous scholar, when he was president of the Chinese Academy of cracked Mr. Guo Moruo post.
inner excited old man though, but still voice asked quietly: come? said the words, The dollar bought in 1800 that the bronze sword.
home, the old man and a careful study on this sword was found at the bottom side of the sword inlaid with lapis lazuli, turquoise trimmed with the other side, the hilt Also engraved on the 12 concentric circles. He took a few newspapers Diego into several layers, and then showed the blade lightly program, a wad of paper being cut uniform, revealing neat incision. old man proudly on family said: full buy.
Yue Jian, the relics of the Warring States period. According to Evil, pure Jun, Zhanlu, guts, Juque .1965 year, had Jingzhou (Jiangling old) from Lookout Mountain of One unearthed a handful of the Warring States Chu for the first time. At that time the archaeological report: sword 55.7 cm long, width 4.6 cm, hilt wrapped in rope, sword embedded grid pattern of blue glass on both sides, the blade covered with diamond Obscure, edge thin and sharp, fine, gorgeous styling. above the inscription, Gou) from the role of Jian (sword) .
Two days later, Beijing, starting a tabloid in the cultural sector can be regarded as Yue sword. The old man, took only 1,800 dollars, bought back a priceless ; this text to use the sword Yue wrong payment process, unearthed in 1965 in Hubei, Hubei Provincial Museum is hidden in the sword that the text is not wrong Yue Jin, from this perspective that the value of the previous Yue a sword more! Kim called the wrong. Adjunct Professor of History Department of Nankai University and other duties, is recognized as the identification of contemporary Chinese art world is one of the top-level authority of the master. Some media even described Mr. Shi Lao: Big identification expert. a heritage to his hands, a look that will tell you, he was identified as a national treasure l David r! for himself three days later, he held a small home will appreciate, and publicly announced to sword donated to the National Museum. Then, the old man was admitted to the hospital due to illness.
people did not expect: History of the old hospital, the National Museum donated his David was returned to the news published by the media, the whole nation is in an uproar, to the light Xianghuo of both. former director of Hubei Provincial Museum, Conservation Technology Association of China vice chairman of Bank of China, Chen saw the sword in the picture , said: Seal Act inconsistent with the birds; hilt is very rough, diamond-shaped concentric circles with the sword body casting Obscure level is very low. Chen Bank of China that in recent years, both in Zhejiang and Hubei Jingzhou sword Goujian generic business, which sword is obviously false, it is estimated the market at least 500 or more now. including the current Provincial Museum curator Dr. Wang Hongxing, including, most heritage experts in Hubei Province in support of Mr Bank's view that the repurchase of Shuqing Shi Yue the sword is a fake.
this, the history of old always believe their own eyes, he said, his life has had several such experiences, some people bought cheap artifacts from the start is not promising for the experts, and even was rejected, but later time-tested, proven true. as he took the age of 15 cents bought two paintings authentic Feng Chia Chiu, and when I finished college to spend three to five dollars to buy the portrait of Genghis Khan, countries already donated, were the National Museum as a heritage collection. for Chen Bank of China, who did not see the sword of their own kind, only on a photo to determine the sword for the fake of argument, the history of the old is very angry He believes that every cultural worker, should hold the state and the nation responsible attitude, cherish the valuable heritage resources, every thing of value, not touched upon on the negative or positive, the conclusion to be scientific, to withstand the test of history. He also repeatedly told you that the sword of the casting, Qian Bao, wrong payment process, and identified it with the year they participate in Hubei that unearthed the Goujian sword, Zhejiang and Hubei Jingzhou imitation The sword Goujian repeated, mutatis mutandis, that can not be fake.
this matter, Ms. Shi Laode Miss Xia even have a grievances, she told reporters: countries, there is no profit-making ideas, so not worthwhile to fraud hh see an old woman selling the hands of jelly has a plate, took a look, is what the early Ming Dynasty, Guan ah, say to buy down, people want 5 dollars. They both get so much money not to scrape together the two one five, buy into an acquaintance at home continue to march, dedicated to take home after the end of the Forbidden City. It is smooth, there are many times people do not recognize the first not received, and later confessed collected, and finally became the national level cultural relics, is an example of Genghis Khan Yaopai started when someone sent Museum of History does not recognize, do not. then the history of old and let someone else to get it back, and now in the National Museum collection! The resolve to write a poem his depressed: Revenge of King Gou Jian the more wrong, the world of the rare, or someone thought it was fake goods, poetry to answer to. ratio, adding people to read a fraction of the total a bit sad. Whether this Ironically, that is a tragicomedy.
no one would have thought, the history of the old generation of this poem has now become the master of the must document the heritage for.
2007 年 11 月 7 am, Shuqing Shi old due to heart disease outbreak, permanently closed his pair was called dare to believe that it is well known, the history of Chinese art world is always the old generation, one of the few classes of highly educated, high experience, high contribution of the old one of the experts. his life Kam Po numerous, but never without possessing their own, bought artifacts donated to the state. Despite last donation before death failed, I believe that this life will not bear a grudge for the elderly Huodataiduo. Even so, read the old must document the history of poetry, the reporter or the heart can not help but sorrow and grief: if the sword is indeed the real thing, is not the state and the individual history of the old unfair? if the sword is fake, why not come up with some more scientific, more people can avoid the errors of human nature and identification to express the world what?
reporter noted: after the death of the elderly, there have been several museums and cultural sector counterparts on the The identification of well-known in his school's achievements not mentioned, the reporter on this quite a bit uneven, but also save a bit worried: had still unclear why the Kam people? people still unknown, why Kam matter?
dean of the contributions of a cultural way so difficult for ordinary people more difficult. The following artifacts to tell the story of the other donations, more people have mixed feelings.
who suffered a Xianbao
NING Chao, Australian Chinese, was born in Liaoning, grew up in Beijing. He was the 20th century, the former Soviet Union 60 years studying and learning of geological exploration, after graduation to catch up with the Cultural Revolution, was lost to Beijing to live instruction qualifications, thus living in Xinjiang region deep forests, where hiding, hunting, farming firewood read, and personally delivering their two children to the world, personally for the child survival remove a cow to have a Cesarean two sons. , NING Chao family moved to Australia, and obtain local citizenship, as overseas Chinese. (Fig. 64)
Today, NING heritage sector in China has become a super-celebrity, not because the legend of his own actions, but from him for almost two decades with the donation Po incident.
first saw NING Chao, Ping An Avenue, in the north of Beijing, a courtyard house is divided. courtyard is small but very clean, simple furnished house , in addition to the short opening set in the case of several long pieces of porcelain on a few, almost no something else. the owner was not tall, silver hair, although has over seventy years old, gray hair on the temples, but still hale and hearty, very talkative. Our subject of course, has created a hubbub in the cultural sector ancient ceramics, and accumulated a number of collections in the local claim to be a little known literary family. benevolent grandfather, a local temple several large donor.
presided over the temple to escape civil strife caused by foreign aggression hurried retreat, going home from the Temple, bearing in mind my grandfather over the years a large number of financial aid they will hidden in the temple for many years to two bottles of blue and white cloud dragons both hands like ears. That When China has no blue and white r l per the title, plus two bottles that are plainer and color, many people are taboo, fear of bad luck. But for the kind monks, grandfather can not refuse, in turn donated the monks of a pen travel expenses to return home, leaving the bottle, but did not put them home, but stay in the family shrine. Nevertheless, and both the blue and white bottle of the unique shape and decoration, or especially by my mother's favorite. When my mother married, because she's like, this big bottle of it as a dowry to accompany her was into my father's house.
they would only treat it as a general view of the Qing Dynasty blue and white porcelain, very smooth to run the exit procedures.
Yuan blue and white unprecedented reputation. my mother saw in the press, the British pair of Hob Johnson found with inscriptions like the Blue & White Vase Yunlong photos, to realize that their own possession of the 70 years that two young very valuable vase, it will discuss with me: Since it is a national treasure, can donate them to the National Palace Museum, also home to prove that our old Ning is patriotic. the whole family are in favor of the views of the old lady.
Ten years later, the old lady had the students would like to become a last wish, this object vase return from Australia to China, but so far still hold in my home, gave the Forbidden City, people do not! ? amplifier like this element of domestic and rare blue and white! people do not give reasons, only one declined to be expert in private that his name, said that two bottles of shape like ear-aliasing, blue and white Condition well hh the sensible, he wondering: this thing is true, can not just one or two people have the final say to you! So he tossing back and forth every few days, more widely identified aspects of the famous relics go home, so that they are close to the kind of views. home in Nanjing, the reporter saw a 50 archaeological and heritage of Chinese antiquities experts and scholars identified the signatures, the same as these two yuan blue and white vase given identified. in the signature experts, there are many aspects of the dean of cultural identification and the top level figures, such as: Deputy Director of National Heritage Commission to identify Shuqing Shi, Palace Museum, the famous ceramics appraiser Lee Ji Yan, Li Huibing and so on. (Fig. 65)
some say over NING a bad name is a good thing, really hard. Why? not why do people have outlaw, Ben procedures go, you want to grant a piece of land to play golf, even if illegal, the line ah, tomorrow for the grant on everything chant! you grant land to build kindergartens, homes for the elderly, I'm afraid to work with children's age until the last nursing home! course, this is a blind analogy with NING over it exists does not matter. We'd see the name What good ideas, but also Zeyang children toss.
traditional eye identification in order to find more reliable than solid evidence, NING over and bring his two bottles of blue and white elephant ears began his technology Identification of the trip. He went to the University of Wollongong, Australia Institute of Earth Sciences, Shanghai Institute of Ceramics Chinese Academy of Sciences, Fudan University, Shanghai Institute of Modern Physics (Lee Laboratories), Institute of High Energy Physics, Chinese Academy of nuclear analysis room, Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory and other units, with their two bottles of blue and white elephant ears, a series of tests.
University of Wollongong, Australia, Institute of Earth Sciences, made of porcelain dating tests, the conclusion is: to determine which one is had made 800 years ago, and the other contains material not suitable because the TL tests without result; (Figure 66)
Shanghai Institute of Ceramics, Chinese Academy of test reports are objective data, a large tribute to : blue and white elephant ears Yunlong transparent glaze bottles of elemental calcium were significantly higher than the element potassium content, chemical composition consistent with the Yuan Dynasty blue and white transparent glaze; blue compound with trace elements arsenic, which, and the Yuan Dynasty blue and white usually imported cobalt porcelain, which is consistent with trace element arsenic; blue and white blue and white bottle, Yunlong elephant ears compound, the element manganese content was slightly lower than the content of elemental iron, blue and white compound may be using the imported and domestic mixture of the two cobalt (Blue and White did the late Yuan used a translation of element analysis of tire tests, the first conclusion is vague, after the lapse of 10 months, in line with their responsible attitude to science, through a series of meticulous experiments over again NING wrote that two conclusions bottle observations: Huaci to be high, but taking into account the experimental data reported in the literature too little, blue and white need to do further on the yuan more in-depth testing research. To this end, we and the Jingdezhen Ceramic Institute of Archaeology, Liu Yuan, who co-operation of Jingdezhen unearthed Yuan blue and white for a more systematic testing, the use of experimental methods and conditions the same as before, all samples were 32, are kiln porcelain pieces, including five of Ming Hongwu Qing flowers, to observe the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty and Ming porcelain process continuity. The results showed that a considerable number of samples, the AI2O3 content was similar to the above. copies of test reports are in this age of two bottles of elephant ears made more specific to add. In short: NING that two blue and white Super Yunlong is really like the Yuan Dynasty porcelain vase.
Chinese Academy of Sciences Institute of High Energy Physics, using non-destructive synchrotron radiation X-ray fluorescence analysis (SRXRF) on NING super collection of a pair of blue and white cloud dragons were tested as the vase, and with the Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain excavated from the site of chemical composition element contrast, the conclusion is: than the low zinc and iron. Then, he will notify the Palace experimental results, and in the or not, do not say why. NING Super heard only in privately told him: of porcelain of different laboratory tests are laboratory technicians, laboratory procedures are different, different instruments are selected, which may lead to a lot of errors, the result is not convincing. ; screw will say to respect science, which passed, you still do not admit it. It is not unreasonable to speak of it? too, fight it, NING quit altogether over all the work in Australia, in Beijing, bought a house stay , not to put on a pair of his blue and white elephant ears that two yuan to send bottles palace dogged posture.
heard this thing was privately wondering: What is the name rather than defective? element Ge Ming blue and white of the market price out there, a large blue and white Yuan jar to shoot two billion, which sold two large bottles for how much money you? even sell you a how have Chengsi generations! China's Yuan blue and white porcelain people want to get to sell abroad could not find the door, can not get out, you NING super booing, India from abroad to fight the fire to get back, people, White Lai to entanglement, which is sort of a kip singing opera? not fake!
no matter how people say, how to look, we have this head of black hair turned white hair, he almost became poor by the rich. He went to Britain, Turkey, and several more blue and white collection of the National Museum of dollars for physical inspection, visited the country all Yuanqing Flower of experts and scholars do have experience and use their existing expertise, ongoing testing and research a variety of data, and finally wrote the eloquent, millions of words long, weighing tens of kilograms of Yuan blue and white works and published, become the private collection of Yuan blue and white areas quite well known people. recently published , you can live another rich, comfortable life, to do so, Why? to the state. 300 pieces of porcelain, but also in abroad. unclear, said unknown thing, if you jump out of an existing role as the spectator think of, is choose to believe that the experts still believe the Forbidden City you do? hh but they are not gods, they go wrong! Palace bought the wrong artifacts, accept donations fake joke there? say, I am now beyond their differences with the matter itself is meaningless, but is related to how a nation responsible attitude to history and culture of their own major! our ancestors created the Yuan blue and white, why he died, said only foreign museums, our nation made no real thing, not fine it? Are the people is to use the Song Dynasty hold rice bowl dishes for vegetables, so that the Song Dynasty tea cup tea cup to drink? Is the Yuan Dynasty porcelain kiln firing only for foreigners? The market price has not yet formed, and why so now you have to be a channel dedicated to black children go? With the joint signatures of 50 experts, there are several equipment test results, you're also able to sell the bottle on how tens of millions, or billions, right? The story seems finished, but from another perspective, not any finished, because other people still alive because his mother's dying wish has not achieved, more importantly, he is already bound to the Chinese cultural identification, some authority, some kind of format, challenged certain unspoken rules. But in a While difficult to see the smoke, but full of suspense, full of the excitement of I only Shuqing Shi, NING Chao, Sirs, and other similar actors has expressed admiration for the patriotic enthusiasm, but they want to donate things for the authenticity, it can not afford to make irresponsible remarks. At the same time, I also respect those who respect science, believe in truth, holding integrity of the Chinese cultural gatekeepers Germany, for their rich traditional culture of the motherland and purity made a significant contribution. However sake of discussion, I do have doubts about: Why is no one agency has the ability to donate the two the authority to make convincing conclusions matter? case donated by the two old thing really is a block study ;, the heritage of the Accreditation System in China is a big mockery (this satire in the history of previous donations of old have been there more than once before), is eye study , how to assure the world it?
Awaken the common saying surreal. As Chinese relics experts continue to be a dazzling array of glasses smashing modern arts and crafts, a castration of the authority of the origin of the cultural lost market value, inevitably fall into a state of anarchy, many perverse, absurd bursts of events staged in the cultural circle.
hit the daughter of a super contribution for the rectification of names
NING Yuan blue and white are not isolated incidents, across the country almost every year a similar situation has occurred. as long as it comes to Yuan blue and white, Of course, this argument does not face to face, usually only by publishing articles or media interview, take a few relevant words.
between the two camps a few years ago if only the occasional , then after 2004, has developed into two camps against the group. In recent years, have sent Vice President of National Institute of Ancient Ceramics, Museum of Chinese History Research Fellow, China Institute of Cultural Relics Identification of members of the Committee of Experts know Li Yan, the former State Expert Appraisal Committee member Sun Xuehai, Ray from the cloud, Zhao Qingyun, Marvin W et al. (Fig. 67)
the In his speech during the meeting an astonishing burst of dramatic scenes: A private collector in talking about civil society does not recognize the existence of expert Yuan blue and white, the angry and raised his collection of one yuan a large blue and white cans, hard hit the concrete floor, that is to punched tiles, so that the presence of experts at the scene of the Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain glaze meets the basic features. It was reported that the body in the field of ancient ceramics researcher Lee Palace Banquet known expert on the broken tiles After the birth of soil identification exclaimed: title, the scene of this tragic passion coverage. the hit, but also deeply stimulating experts and collectors have been bad blood of the nerve, in his speech the next meeting, we unanimously to strongly criticized the Only 300 yuan over the world blue and white porcelain , and the number of cases in which the object identified by the experts agreed on the spot closed, the joint signature, issued by the certificate of authenticity.
The blue and white Yuan seminar on folk heritage lovers, is nothing short of a proud and inspiring swearing . Although many experts have dismissed after, regarded as Expert support from the not as expected, private collectors, as they expect, , credibility decline, coupled with the domestic stock market very active and took away most of the funds of individual investors, resulting in blue and white Yuan into the trough in the auction market at home and abroad, riding on a bench, even if there are high turnover of the auction Shuqing Shi, Li knows feast, Sun Xuehai and other well-known experts, also continues to Turkey and other countries invited expert to carry the Blue & White a few lines in the international community recognized the Yuan blue and white research. The first meeting of this kind in the study session, except to continue to seek well-known experts from the private collection with the meta-blue and white object to the public to promote.
before, journalists have accepted the invitation of the organizers of the meeting, did not take place due to physical reasons. After the collector, according to several friends about participating, although the meeting by the Shanghai Municipal Government in funding for support, but he is still time-consuming and costly and laborious, and ultimately nothing. Why? The reason is simple, insider, he thinks the move is to protect the homeland of the precious heritage of the feat can be an outsider, not only this meeting .. .
