Gloves are needed to identify cultural relics, which is basically the routine of cultural relics identification TV series. Ma Boyong's Close Contact with Antiques of Mahjong, which is famous for its elegant writing style, made a wish to identify precious porcelain with white gloves. In fact, according to Ma Weidou's years of experience, wearing white gloves is divided into occasions. In other words, most people who wear gloves to identify cultural relics are pseudo-experts, and their motives are mostly to fool laymen. Ma Weidou said, I don't wear white gloves when I identify cultural relics. Ma Weidou said so, also is not fooling people. You can watch the video of Ma Weidou identifying cultural relics. You seldom wear white gloves.
Wearing white gloves may be a very simple thing for many people, but in terms of collection, identification is no small matter. After all, for ordinary people, a cultural relic may be the guarantee of a person's life, and mistakes in identification will make people lose everything. Therefore, cultural relics appraisal must be cautious. Ma Weidou said that in the process of identifying cultural relics, especially porcelain with smooth surface, it is forbidden to wear white gloves. There is a lot of knowledge here, and the porcelain itself is very smooth. Wearing white gloves will reduce the friction between the surface of porcelain and gloves, and it will fall to the ground if you are not careful.
Therefore, in the antique industry, there is basically no hard requirement for all appraisal categories to wear white gloves. Based on this judgment, Ma Weidou pointedly pointed out that those who wear white gloves for cultural relics appraisal are basically pseudo-experts, whose main purpose is to fool laymen. Ma Weidou also pointed out that when appraising cultural relics in antique shops, it is usually required to wear white gloves to appraise calligraphy and paintings and ancient jade wares. This is mainly because the surface of calligraphy and painting has become very fragile after a hundred or even a thousand years. If you don't wear white gloves, the sweat stains on people's hands will cause irreversible damage to precious calligraphy and painting.
After painting and calligraphy, let's talk about Gao Guyu. Everyone estimates that they are worried again. When appraising high ancient jade wares, it is required to keep the basic form of the cultural relics themselves. In order to achieve this goal, you must have gloves. After all, the price of a genuine piece of high ancient jade is hundreds of thousands, which is precious! Ma Weidou emphasized that two categories need white gloves, but other appraisal categories don't. If we use white gloves to identify non-calligraphy and painting and high ancient jade utensils, it is very likely to be posturing, which is what we call a pseudo-expert.
Ma Weidou said what others were afraid to say, and spoke bluntly about the hidden rules of wearing white gloves in antique shops. It's hard to tell the authenticity of an antique shop. It is not so much for identification as for identification of people's hearts. Ma Weidou still belongs to the kind of expert with conscience compared with his peers. As the saying goes, "I don't wear gloves when appraising cultural relics. Most people who wear gloves are pseudo-experts and fool laymen", so I am called Mr. Ma. What do you think of what Ma Weidou said about wearing white gloves?
