Foreword:
"Don't do evil even if it's small, don't neglect doing good if it's small." This sentence was left by the ancients and is a warning to future generations not to do it. If you do evil things, you will still receive retribution. Each of us should face the world with a kind heart.
Deliberately forging cultural relics in order to gain profits
Many people nowadays always trade for their own benefit to get some good things, and some even do it for money. He also did illegal things and deliberately made lies to deceive others. We can often see on the Internet that many people go to treasure appraisal programs with items in their hands to distinguish the authenticity from the fake, always worried that the cultural relics in their hands will be fake. Of course, it is normal to have such concerns. After all, there are always some people who deliberately fake things in pursuit of money.
Although some cultural relics are fake, strictly speaking, the work itself is real, but it is easy to have some defects in details, and even some collectors have been neglected. It is a treasure in itself. After some detailed processing by the forger, one cultural relic can be turned into two, or even three or four. In this way, it can be doubled instantly, and the original money paid for a cultural relic can be harvested into more money. This is an alternative way to cheat money.
One becomes two, and both become real
Ma Weidu is a very knowledgeable person in contemporary times, who can even distinguish the authenticity of objects with his eyes. He had appeared on the show before, saying that what he admired most were those who could fake cultural relics. They could reveal a painting in two and both became authentic. Many years ago, the famous writer Deng Youmei wrote a novel "Looking for Painting Han", which told the story of an authentic painting being revealed and split into two, and both paintings were sold as genuine. Of course, the novels are all fake plots, but in fact, in the real world, such things also exist.
In fact, not everyone can reveal a famous painting in two. This method is also very wonderful. Not only does it have to deceive collectors, but there are also many restrictions that need to be considered. , the most important thing is that the paper must be a propaganda folder, which was mainly popular in the Qing Dynasty. Those painters in history have been painting for many years, so their arms are very strong. When painting, they can penetrate the ink from the surface into the paper, and even after peeling it off, the original work can be seen. Most of the paintings that can be revealed as two are the works of famous masters such as Qi Baishi and Wu Changshuo. After all, they didn't use too much force when painting, and they wouldn't leave much of a mark after they unveiled the painting.
The technique of uncovering paintings is so clever that it is difficult for ordinary people to do it
In gongbi, they cannot achieve the effect of penetrating the paper backing, so calligraphy is more likely to be sold separately. In fact, many years ago, many people chose calligraphy when giving gifts, but after thinking about it, they decided that it was really a waste. In order to be able to give away his calligraphy and save some face, he hired an expert to cut his work into two pieces and sell both pieces as if they were genuine. However, the biggest limitation of unveiling paintings is the seal on the surface. Famous masters will leave their own seals on their works, just lightly stamping their names. Therefore, once the work is unveiled, it needs to be touched up, so flaws will be exposed.
This alternative method of fraud is rarely used by anyone now. After all, if you don't pay attention at all, the original work will be destroyed directly. If it gets to that point, the gain will outweigh the loss. Nowadays, many methods of counterfeiting calligraphy and paintings have gradually emerged. In addition to copying, there are also various methods such as computer copying and one-to-one restoration. It has to be said that with the gradual increase in technological content, many people have been deceived by fakes.
Summary:
Art fraud is something that every collector hates. Although it cannot change the existence of those counterfeiters, there is still hope that in the future, , there will be no more counterfeiting methods, so as to reduce people's losses and prevent people from being deceived.
