Xiuyan jade is one of the main jade varieties widely used in China's past dynasties. Xiuyan antique jade is the imitation of ancient jade. Because the cultural value of Xiuyan jade products may far exceed the value of the jade itself, some people tried to make Xiuyan jade products into fake ancient jade. When making Xiuyan antique jade ware, on the one hand, they would try their best to imitate the shape of the jade ware, and on the other hand, they would make the jade ware old. The common methods of making old jade included "smoking", which would produce a layer of ash on the surface of the jade to simulate historical deposits. Some of them would even dye some parts of the jade before smoking it to imitate the ancient jade's color, and then smoke it to cover the color with smoke. In addition to smoking, there was also acid corrosion. The acid used included weak acid (such as plum apricot dried liquid) and super strong sulfuric acid. Due to the different degrees of acid corrosion, some Xiuyan jade that had been corroded would show an effect similar to the "chicken bone white" in the unearthed ancient jade. In order to make the old effect more realistic, the counterfeit generally chose Xiuyan jade with cracks and impurities. This kind of jade had rough texture, uneven hardness, and different depths of color. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
If you want to process antique jade, the following are some aspects to pay attention to: ** 1. Imitation of appearance and decoration ** 1. ** Song Dynasty Antique Jade ** - During the Song Dynasty, the economy was prosperous, and the trend of collecting rose. The shape of the antique jade was closer to the jade of the Han Dynasty. The decorative patterns were slightly more mature than those of the previous dynasties, and the style was soft and smooth. For example, in the Southern Song Dynasty, there were many imitations of the Han Dynasty jade wall, because jade wall was a symbol of the royal family and status in the Han Dynasty. Moreover, due to the change of dynasties and tomb robbing, there were many jade walls passed down to the world. 2. ** Ming Dynasty Antique Jade ** - The imitation ancient jade of the Ming Dynasty was rough and hard, not exquisite enough. The shape and style of the imitated utensils were obviously different from the ancient jade, and the style was also different. 3. ** Qing Dynasty Antique Jade ** - Most of the jade imitations from the Qing Dynasty belonged to the Shang Dynasty or before. The antique jade had many similarities with ancient jade in terms of shape, pattern, decoration, and style, but it was more exquisite in details. For example, many Qing Dynasty jade articles were engraved with Qianlong's poems, which could be used to judge that they were imitation jade articles from the Shang Dynasty. 4. ** Antique jade from the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China ** - During this period, the situation in China was unstable, and the antique market was chaotic. A large number of antique jades appeared, and the imitation technology was very high. However, many of them were forged from low-quality jade and sold at a high price. ** 2. Old and colored ** 1. ** Color ** - The jade ware could be cooked with rainbow grass juice, soy sauce, black vinegar, etc. to turn it red, sauce, and black. 2. ** Oil extraction method ** - Old extract oil: Legend has it that the rainbow grass in the mountains of Gansu was pounded into juice, mixed with a little Sal Almiphoria and stirred evenly. After soaking the new jade, it was baked with fresh bamboo branches. The grass juice seeped into the jade texture and appeared chicken blood red. - New extracted oil: suitable for stone jade with more stones and poor quality. Red wood chips or black wood chips were selected and put into water. After soaking the stone jade, it was baked with fire. The juice was immersed in the jade texture, and the stone part appeared red or black. 3. ** Other ways to make old things ** - Ash extraction method: Use chestnut charcoal ash and silver saltpeter to boil the jade. The surface of the jade will produce white fog or tiny pores, similar to the ancient jade that has just been unearthed for thousands of years. It could also be mixed with jade and iron filings to make it rust into an orange color. - Fake limestone (imitation of "chicken bone white"): The jade was baked with fire to make it white, similar to lime. However, the jade made by this method had fire cracks, but the real ancient jade did not. - Sheep Jade: A small piece of jade was stuffed into the wound on the leg of a live cow or a live sheep. After sewing it up, the blood soaked into the jade for several years, pretending to be the red silk in ancient jade. However, this kind of jade did not have the warmth of ancient jade and appeared dry and astringent. - Dog Jade: Kill the dog, cut open its abdomen, put the dog's blood into the jade and sew it up. After burying it in the ground for several years, take it out. There will be blood spots on the jade, but compared with real jade, it has the color of new jade and carving marks. - Plum jade: Choose loose jade, such as jade or jade skin with heavy stone nature, and cook it many times with thick dark plum water to make it appear water soaking marks. Then use the oil extraction method to color it to imitate the waterhole ancient, but it is not as natural as the real ancient jade. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

At that time, due to the prosperity of life and the return of traditional "thoughts", the trend of using jade and other materials to imitate ancient artifacts rose. This trend reached its peak during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. There were three types of antique jade ware in the Qianlong period: one was in the form of imitation, that is, using bronze ware or ancient jade as the blueprint to carry out complete imitation; the second was to change ancient jade according to new ideas; the third was in the style of imitation.

The portable appraisal of jewelry, jade, antiques, calligraphy, and paintings could start from the following aspects: ** 1. Jewelry Appraisal ** 1. ** Basic Observation ** - In terms of appearance, check if the cut shape of the gem is neat, and if there are any flaws or scratches on the surface. For example, the accuracy of the cutting ratio of a diamond had a great impact on its quality and value. - Color was also an important factor. The color distribution of natural gemstones often had certain characteristics. For example, jade, the color tone, concentration, and distribution of green needed to be carefully observed. The color of A-grade jade was natural, while the color of dyed jade might be too bright and unnatural. 2. ** With the help of simple tools ** - You can use a magnifying glass, and a magnifying factor of about 10 times is more suitable. Through a magnifying glass, one could observe the inner body of the gemstone. Different types of gemstone had their own unique characteristics. For example, natural rubies may have thread-like or needle-like rutile-like impurities inside, while synthetic rubies may have regular geometric shapes. - For jade-like jewelry, you can also use a strong flashlight. He illuminated the jade from different angles to observe the light transmission of its internal structure. Like Hetian jade, high-quality Hetian jade had uniform light transmission and delicate internal structure, while some inferior or fake Hetian jade might have loose structure and poor light transmission. ** 2. Jade Appraisal ** 1. ** texture and feel ** - He touched the jade with his hand and felt its texture. The texture of the real jade was warm and delicate, and it had a greasy feeling. Fake jade may feel rough or too smooth (after special chemical treatment). - Generally speaking, natural jade was denser and heavier than some imitations of the same size. 2. ** Identification Points ** - As mentioned before, observe the patination of the shell. If the unearthed jade was not washed, there might be soil and iron rust stains on the surface. After playing with jade for a long time, it would have an oily texture and a translucent patina. - For jade articles with a faint color, one had to carefully identify the source and characteristics of the color. The true color was natural, while the artificial color might be too bright or the border too clear. For example, the color produced by soaking in chemical potions often had a pungent smell, and the distribution of the color on the surface of the jade was unnatural. ** 3. Antiques (mainly porcelain, bronze, and other miscellaneous antiques) appraisal ** 1. ** Appearance and Styling ** - As for the porcelain, he observed its shape. Different dynasties had different typical shapes. For example, during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, there were unique shapes such as pipa zun and horseshoe zun, and during the Yongzheng period, there were Shuanglu zun. By comparing the shape of the artifact, one could determine the age range of the artifact. - The bronze ware depended on its decorative patterns and style. In the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, the bronze ware was mostly decorated with the patterns of Taotie and Kuilong, which were solemn and simple in shape, while the bronze ware in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period gradually became delicate and more diverse in shape. 2. ** Patterned skin ** - The patina of porcelain was reflected in the change of glaze. The new porcelain had a strong glaze, while the old porcelain would gradually lose its luster after years of corrosion and wear. - The shell of bronzeware was mainly caused by the phenomenon of copper oxidization. Under long-term corrosion, the bronze would turn from golden yellow to dark yellow, dark yellow, brownish-yellow, black, green, and so on. The grain size, density, and cohesion of the rust were also the basis for determining authenticity. ** 4. Calligraphy and Painting Appraisal ** 1. ** Style and brush strokes ** - For the artist's work, one had to be familiar with the characteristics of the painting style of each period. For example, Zhang Daqian's early, middle, and late painting styles had obvious changes. Observing the smoothness of the brush strokes in the painting, the brush strokes of the original were often natural and smooth, while the imitation might have flaws in the connection of the brush strokes and the change in weight. 2. ** Paper and Ink ** - As for the paper, pay attention to whether the historical traces of the paper are natural. Old tricks such as yellowing, damage, and wrinkles were easy to see through. The aging marks on the real ancient calligraphy and painting paper were even and natural. - The color of the ink was also crucial. Ancient ink had a unique fragrance, while modern imitation ink might have a slightly pungent smell. At the same time, he observed the layering and smudging effect of the ink color. The artist's ink habits during creation would be reflected in the original, and it would be difficult to completely imitate it. 3. ** Seal and Inscription ** - The artist's seal was an important basis for identification. The font, shape, engraving method, and the color and texture of the ink needed to be studied carefully. Sometimes, the imitators might have similar styles, but when they used the seal, they would reveal flaws due to the subtle differences in the ink or seal. - The font style, writing content, and the position of the inscription could also provide identification clues. For example, the handwriting of different artists in different periods might have different styles and characteristics. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
