Following Xiao Ran's words, there was an uproar in several live broadcast rooms.
"Isn't this nearly perfect brush washer from the Ru Kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty? Is it a later imitation? If it is an imitation, when was it copied?"
"No way, I think this Ru kiln brush washer is no worse than those Ru kilns from the Northern Song Dynasty collected by major top museums. It's so beautiful that it's so mesmerizing!"
Everyone started talking and expressing their opinions.
The next moment, Xiao Ran smiled and explained:
"The reason why I said this treasure does not seem to be a brush washer from Ru kiln in the Northern Song Dynasty is of course for a reason, and it is not just nonsense."
"The performance of this Ru kiln brush washer that you see now is the effect of the searchlight. In addition, it is under the live broadcast lens. It is somewhat different from what I saw with my own eyes!"
"If you take this treasure to the ground and appreciate it under natural light, the look and feel will be different."
"Next, I will analyze the characteristics of this Ru kiln brush washer, and you will understand why I say this!"
Following his words, several live broadcast rooms immediately fell silent.
Everyone took screenshots and enlarged the picture in unison, making their own appraisals while looking forward to Xiao Ran's analysis so that they could learn and verify it!
After a pause, Xiao Ran continued:
"Everyone knows that the Ru Kiln in the Northern Song Dynasty has become famous all over the world since the day it appeared. It represents the highest level of Chinese ceramic art and the highest level of ancient Chinese aesthetics!"
"Since the Song Dynasty, people in all dynasties have been imitating Ru kilns, trying to recreate the glory of the rain and the sky, but they have never reached the level of Ru kilns in the Northern Song Dynasty!"
“Among all the counterfeited Ru kilns of the Northern Song Dynasty in the past dynasties, the level of counterfeiting in the Yuan Dynasty was the worst, with not many decent Ru kiln porcelains left!”
"The second was the Ming Dynasty, where the standard improved a lot. Among the Ming imitation Ru kiln porcelains that have been handed down to the world, there are many good things that are worth a lot of money! "
“The highest level of counterfeiters of Ru kilns in the Northern Song Dynasty were produced in the three dynasties of the Qing Dynasty, that is, Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong. Among them, the Ru kilns imitated during the Yongzheng period are the most outstanding, and they are almost like the real ones!”
"This situation occurred because Yongzheng ascended the throne in the middle age and proclaimed himself emperor. In the previous forty years, he devoted himself to studying and meditating on Buddhism, forming a deep and restrained mind."
"He also accumulated profound cultural heritage and artistic accomplishment. Yongzheng's aesthetics was far higher than that of Kangxi and Qianlong. This is reflected in the production of porcelain. Yongzheng preferred the soft and elegant style."
"The restrained nature of Song porcelain is exactly in line with Yongzheng's temperament. Because of this, Yongzheng copied a large number of Song porcelain during his reign, including many Ru kiln porcelain!"
"It can be said that the imitation Ru kiln porcelain produced during the Yongzheng period is of the highest quality among all the imitation Ru kilns of the Northern Song Dynasty. Of course, the value of the Yongzheng imitation Ru kiln is also very high!"
After listening to his introduction, everyone has a certain understanding of the history of counterfeiting Ru kiln porcelain, and is no longer in the dark!
At the same time, everyone was amazed by Xiao Ran's strong strength.
In everyone's eyes, he is obviously omniscient and omniscient!
At this moment, Xiao Ran suddenly changed the subject.
“But what’s fake is fake. Even if the imitation Ru kiln porcelain from the Yongzheng period is of higher quality, it can’t compare to the real Ru kiln from the Northern Song Dynasty.”
"That's why the Ru Kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty is so precious and has become the pinnacle of ancient Chinese ceramic art, unparalleled!"
"As for the Ru kiln brush wash in front of me, I believe everyone has guessed that it is a counterfeit Ru kiln porcelain from the Yongzheng period. It is the most successful imitation of the Ru kiln from the Northern Song Dynasty in history!"
"Let's take a look at this imitation brush washer from Ru Kiln in the Northern Song Dynasty. The shape, glaze color, and crab claw pattern openings and other features are almost exactly the same as the Ru Kiln in the Northern Song Dynasty. There are no flaws!"
"However, what makes it different from the Ru kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty is that the glaze of this Ru kiln's brush wash is even, smooth and translucent, with mostly brown eyes, and it lacks a bit of subtle and quiet flavor."
"The real Ru kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty has a thick and devitrified glaze, a warm and smooth surface, and few brown eyes, giving people a restrained, reserved, warm and jade-like beauty."
"This special beauty that is unique in the world is the most precious thing about the Ru kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty. It is precisely because of this that I am sure that this is a Yongzheng imitation Ru kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty."
"Obviously, this Yongzheng imitation of the Ru kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty is based on the brush washer of the Ru kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty, but it is tangible but not spiritual. If you look closely, it is actually a typical Yongzheng style!"
After hearing this, everyone no longer had any doubts about Xiao Ran's appraisal conclusion and the provenance of this Ru kiln porcelain.
The next moment, many appraisal experts in the live broadcast room spoke one after another, affirming Xiao Ran's appraisal.
"Xiao Ran, what you said is so wonderful. You gave everyone a lesson on how to identify imitation Northern Song Dynasty Ru kilns. It's very good!"
"Since you know so much about imitation of Ru kiln from the Northern Song Dynasty and Yongzheng imitation of Ru kiln, you can't make a mistake. It seems that this is indeed a Yongzheng imitation Ru kiln from the Northern Song Dynasty!"
Mr. Shan from the Forbidden City said with admiration.
Immediately afterwards, an old man from Shobo continued to say:
"It's reasonable and well-founded. Xiao Ran, your online appraisal is really wonderful and it opened everyone's eyes!"
"Since you think this is a Yongzheng imitation of Ru kiln from the Northern Song Dynasty, then don't run away!"
"But even so, this is a very precious and rare treasure. We must protect this Ru kiln porcelain!"
As soon as he said this, someone in the live broadcast room already started asking about the price of this Ru kiln brush washer.
"Give me an estimate, Xiao Ran. What is the estimate of this Yongzheng imitation Ru kiln brush washer?"
"If the valuation is right, I am ready to sell everything to get this treasure!"
"Stop dreaming, this is Yongzheng's imitation of Ru kiln from Northern Song Dynasty, and it is a masterpiece. It must be at least several million, or even tens of millions, in value."
Listening to everyone's discussion, Xiao Ran smiled and shook his head.
“It is too early to tell the valuation of this Yongzheng imitation Northern Song Dynasty Ru kiln brush washer”
"Let's talk about the valuation of this treasure after I bring it safely to the ground."
"The exploration of this level is not finished yet, let's continue the exploration."
As he spoke, he squatted down.
Then use your right hand wearing a stab-proof glove to gently wipe away the dust and moss on the fourth step.
In a moment, the dust and moss on the fourth step had been wiped away.
It can be seen that the four Chinese characters of Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing are engraved on the four square bricks on this step.
Moreover, the order of these four Chinese characters has been disrupted, and the square tile with clear inscription is on the third one from right to left, not the last one.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Ran couldn't help but chuckle.
The next moment, he smiled and said:
"This guy Lu Qinzhai is very insidious. He placed an almost fake Yongzheng imitation Northern Song Dynasty Ru kiln brush wash here to confuse people who break into this place."
"In addition to the genuine Ru kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty, imitations of Ru kiln porcelain were made in the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, which greatly increases the difficulty of identification, let alone in such an environment."
“If a visitor can’t recognize this Yongzheng imitation Ru kiln brush washer and thinks it is a real Ru kiln from the Northern Song Dynasty, or thinks it is an imitation Ru kiln porcelain from the Yuan and Ming dynasties, that’s the end of it!”
"Fortunately, my vision is pretty good. I didn't mistake this Yongzheng imitation Ru kiln brush washer. It should be no problem to pass this level, but there will definitely be more challenges next."
Having said that, he still took a closer look at the four square bricks on the fourth step.
After confirming that his judgment was correct, he stepped out with a heavy police shield and stepped on the square brick with the word "Qing" engraved on the fourth step.
Needless to say, nothing happened.
Seeing this scene, everyone let out a sigh of relief and immediately relaxed a lot.
Everyone admired Xiao Ran's vision and judgment.
Next, Xiao Ran walked down two more steps and came to the sixth step.
On the left wall of the seventh step below, a square niche appeared again.
In this niche, there is a rusty bronze cup with two inscriptions seemingly engraved on it.
But the terrible thing is that most of the two inscriptions seem to be covered by rust.
Seeing this scene, everyone was dumbfounded.
"Holy shit! This bronze cup is covered with patina. How can I identify it?"
