Distinguishing the Genuine from the Fake Jade in Yunnan

To distinguish the authenticity of the Qi family's cultural jade, one could start from the following aspects: * * I. The key points of distinguishing jade pieces ** 1. * * Hole and shape ** - If the hole of the authentic product was a pipe drill, the outer ring would be cut square and round. This shape was simple and natural. However, it should be noted that the characteristics of drilling holes and cutting a square to get a circle may be copied, so it cannot be used as the only basis to judge the authenticity. 2. * * Cracks and color ** - The real thing was often full of cracks, which broke into the skin and seeped into the skin. However, when there was a phenomenon of accompanying seeping, if there was a single crack without seeping, it needed further investigation and could not be rashly determined. 3. * * Jade Sand Scar Solution ** - The micro-image of the real drilled wall could see the ancient characteristics of the jade sand mark, but if the jade sand mark showed that the patina was not obvious and thick, it was difficult to determine whether it was patina after sand or later manual grinding. At this time, it was necessary to judge carefully. 4. * * In terms of plaque ** - The real thing was corroded and eroded. The key was whether the plaque was in a "natural state". For example, the plaque on the jade wall had different states in different areas. If the plaque at the edge of the drilling wall was in a complete natural state, and this kind of soil plaque was often accompanied by crystals, which was beyond the reach of human technology, it could basically be judged as true ancient. * * 2. Common Points of Distinguishing Jade Artifacts ** 1. * * In terms of jade materials ** - The jade materials used in the Qi family's jade ware were mainly local jade from Gansu and Qinghai, as well as Hetian jade from Xinjiang. The ratio was roughly 70% local jade and 30% Hetian jade. If the jade material was completely different from the jade material commonly used during the Qi family's cultural period, it was very likely to be an imitation. 2. * * Craftsmanship ** - For example, the jade and jade rings of the Qi family culture were relatively large in diameter, some of which were more than 30 centimeters in diameter; the inner holes were mostly drilled by the pipe drilling method, and the shape of the inner holes in the profile was close to the shape of "U" and "V"; the jade walls were mostly uneven in thickness, and some jade walls and rings had cutting marks on them. In terms of jade congs, there were different shapes and types of jade congs in the Qi family culture area. The tall jade congs were relatively poor in quality, and the jade materials used contained greater stone properties. The shorter jade congs often had fine quality and exquisite workmanship. If the jade ware's craftsmanship was far from the typical craftsmanship of the Qi family culture, it was necessary to doubt its authenticity. 3. * * Overall Style ** - The Qi family's jade ware had a unique sense of beauty. It presented a simple, masculine beauty and a solemn feeling. If the style of a jade piece did not match this feature at all, it might be an imitation. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

The authenticity of Moutai could be identified through many aspects. First, he could observe the packaging of the Moutai liquor. The outer packaging of the real Moutai liquor was exquisite. There was a concave groove at the connection between the top layer and the side, which looked more layered and three-dimensional. The fake Moutai, on the other hand, did not have this concave groove. It was directly folded over. Secondly, he could observe the spray code of the Moutai wine. The production date of the real Moutai wine was not continuous, and the lower one-third of the code was broken. However, the production date of the fake Moutai was continuous, and there was no obvious broken belt. In addition, he could also observe the Flying Fairy logo of Moutai. The vertical lines on the Fairy logo of the real Moutai were the same width, but the fake Moutai was not. In addition, the plastic cap of the Moutai wine was also an important aspect to identify the authenticity. The plastic cap of the real Moutai was small at the top and large at the bottom. Three places on the red dot jumped away. When the light shone on it, the invisible words Guizhou Moutai could be seen. The rubber cap of the fake Moutai was generally the same size from top to bottom. The red dots were continuously bright. The words Guizhou Moutai were either not printed or blurred, so it was not very clear. In short, by observing the packaging, marking code, trademark, and plastic cap, one could distinguish the authenticity of Moutai.

Based on the information he had, he only knew that there was a book called " Yin Shang Jade Appreciation and Fake Identification: Research and Exploration of Yin Shang Jade Artifacts ".

Just based on the information that the jade was 14 centimeters long, it was impossible to determine whether it was real jade or not. To determine the authenticity of a jade artifact, one needed to combine many factors, such as texture, color, clarity, texture, hardness, and so on. Different types of jade (such as Hetian jade, Xiuyan jade, etc.) had their own characteristics, and there were various jade imitations on the market, which required professional testing methods (such as optical testing, density testing, etc.) or professional appraisers to accurately judge. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

The famous jade in Yunnan was the jade from Myanmar, Jadeite. Because Yunnan was close to Myanmar, Myanmar jade was mostly circulated to the whole country and even all over the world through Yunnan, so it was often used to be called Yunnan jade. Ruili, Yunnan Province, was one of the sources of jade. It was only 25 kilometers away from Myanmar. It had the largest and earliest deposit of jade, Luojiazhai, and also the world's famous "hometown of jade."

It was one of the sources of jadeite and had many jadeite-related resources. For example, Ruili had the largest and earliest jadeite deposit, Luojiazhai, which was also known as the "hometown of jadeite". The natural jade raw stone produced there was called "Yunnan Jade". Ruili's Nannuo was a type of raw jade. There were many types and rich colors. Green was the top grade, and it had high clarity and delicate structure. Mengban was named after its location in Mengban Township, Ruili City, Yunnan Province.

There were nearly 1,000 jade mines in the surrounding mountainous areas, and its jade production accounted for more than 80% of the national production.

The colors included white, cyan, pink, and pale yellow. Kunming was also rich in jade resources. Kunming jade was delicate in texture, pure in color, and natural in texture.

Appraising authentic jade was a process that involved many aspects of knowledge and professional judgment. First of all, the identification of jade must start from its basic elements. Generally speaking, the name, era, origin, specifications, preciousness, expert valuation, appreciation space, collector, and other information of the collection were required. In the specific identification process, the basic knowledge of the specific shape, process characteristics, specifications, function, and texture of the jade ware was analyzed first. For example, the age and value of the jade could be inferred from the carvings and patterns. Some experts determined that it was Lantian Jade and had a history of more than 4,000 years by observing the carvings and patterns of the jade. Secondly, they had to consider the artistic level, scientific value, and cultural value of the relics. Jade articles of different eras had their own unique artistic styles. For example, the jade articles of the Han Dynasty had their own characteristics in terms of artistry, difficulty of carving, and requirements for materials. The peak of the jade articles of the Han Dynasty had unique craftsmanship standards in certain types. In addition, the source was also an important factor. If it was a family heirloom, its source was relatively clear, but if it was bought from the market, like the antique market, it needed to be more cautious because the market was mixed with good and bad people. For example, there was a woman who bought a jade pendant at the antique market for 500 yuan. She thought it was a treasure. After the expert's appraisal, although the carving was exquisite and the market price could reach 500,000 yuan, it was an ancient burial item. This reflected the risk of buying jade in the market. When appraising a treasure, the expert would use his own professional knowledge and experience to make a comprehensive judgment on the jade. They had authority in the antique shop. If the expert identified it as authentic, then the possibility of it being authentic was very high. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
