What made Yang Jing and Wang Jiazan a little dumbfounded was that there were so many people who came with Cai Yi.
There are about 30 people, young and old, who crowd the already small room, and there are still people who have not squeezed in.
"I'm really embarrassed, Lao Lu, this guy saw that I was going to configure that special solvent, and he wanted me to be thorough about everything, but as soon as I told him about your bottle, this big mouth said it all, and it turned out that all the people in the courtyard were fine" Cai Yi apologized to Yang Jing in a low voice while fiddling with those bottles and cans.
Of course, Yang Jing didn't say anything, but Wang Jiazan smiled and asked in a low voice: "Uncle Cai, are your staff here idle all day long!"
” "Nonsense!"
Cai Yi glared, then lowered his voice to the minimum and said: "You can understand it yourself, don't make noise when you go out!"
” Wang Jiazan and Yang Jing glanced at each other and smiled quietly.
The Palace Museum is very large, and there are many functional departments in it, after all, this is the largest museum in the country, and the deputy ministerial-level unit of the Eight Classics, and the director of the museum is usually the vice minister of the Ministry of Culture, and the level is quite high. is like Cai Yi, although he is the director of the Ancient Porcelain Research Institute, he is a high-ranking official at the department level.
It's just that the vast majority of the staff in the museum are career editors rather than civil servants.
There are many employees in the museum, and there are hundreds of internal and external security personnel who can contact tourists, not to mention internal personnel like Cai Yi who specialize in the study and restoration of cultural relics.
There are more than 100 people in the museum who are associate research librarians and experts with above positions.
Others, such as the staff of the business department who are in charge of the treasury key and the curatorial department, as well as the people from the departments of credit, education, journals, service centers, etc., plus the students brought by those experts, there are more people.
It seems that the people who come to Cai Yi's office now are some experts from the institute and their graduate students or doctoral students, who have come to see how this porcelain is counterfeited and how Director Cai has removed the camouflage of porcelain.
This situation is extremely rare even in the Palace Museum, and it can be done by Director Cai himself, which is enough to show that the grade of this porcelain is very high.
Even if Cai Yi looks at the entire Palace Museum, he is one of the best in ancient porcelain.
There aren't many porcelains that can be used by him personally.
After Cai Yi fiddled for a while, he said to Yang Jing: "Yang Zi, today's situation is very rare even in our museum, I want to take this opportunity to explain it to those students."
The things that our ancestors have passed down need them to continue to pass on, and the more knowledge they know, the better. ” Yang Jing nodded with a smile and said, "Uncle Cai, it's good for you to look and make a decision."
In fact, I hope that your students will learn more from you. ” Hearing Yang Jing's agreement, Cai Yi smiled, then stood up, clapped his hands and said loudly: "Everyone, yesterday I was fortunate to see a genuine Qianlong blue and white porcelain that had been forged in the hands of a junior.
I saw this kind of porcelain once more than 20 years ago."
Cai Yi immediately explained to these people in the house the Qianlong tea glaze Ruyi ear halberd olive bottle he encountered when he went to Jinling to participate in the ancient porcelain exchange meeting in 1994.
Even if this matter is placed in the circle of experts, it can be regarded as a grand event, and although several ancient porcelain experts in the room have heard of it, they have never experienced it themselves.
As for those students, they haven't even heard of it.
"Now, this Qianlong blue and white five-bat holding longevity ear bottle is almost the same as the situation of the Qianlong tea glaze Ruyi ear halberd olive bottle back then, you can take this opportunity to observe and learn.
Xiao Liu, you take a look at this bottle first.
Xiao Zhao, Xiao Wu, Xiao Li, and a few of you, all take a look at this bottle together.
But you have to name the characteristics of this bottle. ” Hearing Cai Yi's words, a young man about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, wearing black rimless glasses, stood up, put on gloves, picked up the bottle and looked at it carefully, and several other young people also came up.
In fact, Cai Yi's on-site teaching method is a bit bad, after all, he has already told the authenticity of this bottle, so those students will naturally be biased.
But this can't be helped, who made Cai Yi's colleague have a big mouth and tell this matter in advance?
However, with this bottle, it is possible for these students to witness with their own eyes how a genuine blue and white porcelain with a wide open door is counterfeited and how it is undisguised, which is also a rare learning experience for these students.
These students are also the owners of the goods in their stomachs, after all, they can learn from these experts, and their own level of antique identification and restoration must not be low, otherwise these experts will not take them.
This kind of on-site learning lasted for nearly two hours, and more than 20 students read the bottle one by one and talked about it again and again, and the time spent was naturally short.
The big gathering here of the Middle Ancient Porcelain Research Institute even attracted the attention of the dean.
The biggest boss of the Palace Museum happened to be working in the museum today, and after hearing that there were on-site teaching activities here, he also rushed over to observe the scene.
However, the big boss came and went quietly, and walked with a smile on his face when he left.
When the big boss is gone, the atmosphere on the scene is even more lively.
In this case, Cai Yi began to teach everyone on the scene how to mix that solvent.
This kind of forgery is actually a skill that these ancient porcelain experts and those future ancient porcelain experts should master.
As the saying goes, more art is not pressing, and learning more things is beneficial to anyone.
When the solvent was blended, Cai Yi put the Qianlong blue and white five-bat Shouguan ear bottle into the basin containing the solvent in front of everyone, and let the solvent soak the entire bottle.
After soaking for about twenty minutes, Cai Yi took out the bottle with gloves, and before he wiped it with a dry cloth, the naked eye could see that there were a lot of oily things on the surface of the bottle and began to slowly drip down the surface of the bottle.
When Cai Yi wiped the inside and outside of the bottle with a clean cloth, a brilliant Qianlong blue and white porcelain was immediately presented in front of everyone.
