Chapter 2603: Foreign commentators
He is worthy of being the founder of the Lin family. Both his vision and knowledge are superior to others. He has indeed learned something.
Later, Lin Ran continued to explain why they needed to plunder cultural relics.
"When others ask, they just say that these porcelains were obtained from China's business."
"For example." Lin Ran and the others had already entered the exhibition hall and stopped in front of a porcelain from the Qianlong official kiln.
This is a vase with white flowers and branches. In Lin Ran's impression, there is no recorded cultural relic at all.
But judging from the shape and painting, this kind of thing is also a priceless treasure.
Once it appears on the Chinese auction market, this vase cannot be sold without billions.
Many rich people must have been fighting to get this treasure, but now it is placed in a glass display case in a foreign country.
"I probably understand." Fang Yuan sighed. He was not stupid. He just didn't understand what Lin Ran meant.
The Eagle Kingdom plundered Chinese cultural relics mainly to confuse concepts.
For example, the Qing Dynasty porcelain in front of them can be said to have been bought from China.
In this way, others will think that they started doing business with China in the Qing Dynasty.
During the Qing Dynasty, there was indeed contact between them. After all, navigation technology was very developed at that time.
But moving forward.
For example, they also said that the porcelain of the Tang Dynasty was bought from China. At that time, people would mistakenly believe that as early as the Tang Dynasty, the Eagle Kingdom had already been spending and growing on this land.
This set is very shameful, but it is very useful.
Because there are not many people who have the ability to think independently, they often only receive information from the media.
Especially a country like Eagle Country that is good at exporting culture.
Lin Ran saw that Fang Yuan understood what he meant, so he stopped explaining, and the two of them continued walking forward.
This exhibition hall is not large in area. Although the cultural relics collected in it are not as good as those in the museum, there are still many rare antiques.
They stopped in front of another tall porcelain bottle.
This porcelain, which is as tall as a human, had no idea how much effort was put into making it in the first place. The dragon pattern on it makes it clear that it is a collection of the royal family, but now it has become a trophy for others.
The expression on Fang Yuan's face was a little gloomy, "Dragon pattern..."
Lin Ran came to his porcelain and checked it.
The level of craftsmanship of the porcelain in front of him was not particularly high, but he could understand it after seeing the dynasties below.
It is a dragon pattern pot from the Yuan Dynasty.
Looking closely from the side, the glaze color looks a bit yellowish brown. This is not a color that can be used by civilians. It is obviously a royal product.
On the business card under the porcelain, there is a note - the dragon pattern pot of the Yuan Dynasty.
Even in the Poreton State Exhibition Hall, it only says about the dynasty and not about being from China. This is a shameful thing.
However, Lin Ran felt that they were quite capable and could actually determine the age of the porcelain.
Lin Ran was a little itchy because he had never seen this cultural relic before.
With Fang Yuan by his side, there is no need to worry about anything happening.
It's a pity that I can't distinguish it by hand, otherwise I can see more detailed information. Now I can only use the secret technique of treasure appraisal to find out through the glass cabinet.
"It's really disgusting." Fang Yuan said, "This piece of porcelain..."
Fang Yuan originally wanted to discuss the porcelain in front of him with Lin Ran. Although it said dragon pattern pot from the Yuan Dynasty below, there was no basis for it. He wanted to discuss with Lin Ran whether it really belonged to the Yuan Dynasty.
He has always felt that foreigners cannot tell the difference between Chinese dynasties at all, and displaying them is just a gimmick.
It is claimed to be Yuan Dynasty porcelain, but in fact it may be an imitation of Qing Dynasty. I think these merchants are thick-skinned and can do anything.
But when he saw Lin Ran closing his eyes and touching the glass cabinet, he swallowed the rest of the words and just looked at Lin Ran blankly.
In just ten seconds, Lin Ran's appraisal was over.
"It's really porcelain from the Yuan Dynasty." Lin Ran sighed. It turned out to be a dragon pattern pot produced by the Longquan kiln of the Yuan Dynasty.
As an official kiln in the Yuan Dynasty, Longquan kiln did not exist for a long time and was later destroyed by angry people.
Fang Yuan originally wanted to discuss ownership with Lin Ran, but when he saw Lin Ran's conclusion, he immediately came back to his senses.
He nodded and agreed with Lin Ran's statement.
"Hey, what a pity." Fang Yuan looked at the dragon pattern on it, "I never thought that the dragon pattern that represents the royal family would one day become a prisoner." Fang Yuan sighed with emotion.
In his mind, the dragon pattern is synonymous with royalty.
"No." Lin Ran said.
If other people had such doubts, Lin Ran might not bother to pay attention to them.
But Fang Yuan is now the leader of the treasure hunting club, and he still has the intention to cultivate him.
As long as Fang Yuan can study hard, he can become an expert in archaeology. He has a certain ability to rob tombs. If he can learn the skill of appraising treasures, his future will definitely be unlimited.
Lin Ran decided to develop his ability to identify porcelain first.
Lin Ran said: "The dragon pattern is indeed a noble pattern, but not all dragon patterns are exclusive to the royal family."
"Oh?" Fang Yuan looked at Lin Ran. This was the first time he heard this statement.
After all, he grew up abroad and didn't know much about the history of China.
Before going to the ancient tomb, the treasure master will send him a copy of information related to the ancient tomb so that he can avoid the traps inside.
In fact, it had nothing to do with the agency. Fang Yuan relied solely on his personal strength to ignore the traps in the ancient tomb and even some monster abilities.
At the level of simply cracking the mechanism, not to mention Lin Ran, I'm afraid even Meng Xing can't compare.
Lin Ran explained patiently: "Actually, before the Yuan Dynasty, dragon patterns could appear on clothes as civilian decorations."
“This regulation actually came into being only after the Yuan Dynasty.”
"It's actually very simple to determine which era the dragon pattern belongs to."
"You can tell roughly what period it was from by the shape of the dragon pattern."
Lin Ran seemed to have returned to the time when he was a docent in a museum.
Dragon patterns rarely appear on clothing, but they are common on porcelain.
During his time working at the Palace Museum, Lin Ran had appreciated no less than [-] pieces of porcelain and was a true porcelain appraisal expert in China.
It's not just Lin Ran himself. As long as he works as a student for a period of time and passes on part of his experience to his disciples, it won't be long before his disciples will also be regarded as experts in the industry.
This is Lin Ran's status in the Chinese cultural relic appraisal community. He is only higher than Mr. Xu, but he never mentions these false names to others.
Lin Ran was talking to Fang Yuan, so that he didn't notice that when he was explaining, because he spoke so vividly, he attracted the attention of many people around him.
