Lin Yue pointed to your head and said, "The authentic product reflects soft and bright light under the light. The counterfeit is very dull and rigid, the first impression of the authentic product is very clear, while the counterfeit is indeed dull."

  He Chang nodded and said, "You can see these explanations, which means you are careful and have a good understanding. Looking at the color is indeed a good way to distinguish between genuine and fake products, but it's not an absolute method. Only poorly made ceramic colors are poor, while high-quality imitations are almost indistinguishable from genuine ones. Now, I'll tell you about the characteristics of bean green glaze. In the future, I will introduce various ceramics' characteristics according to their dynasties, from ancient to modern. If there's something missing, we can go outside to find it. If we encounter fake ones, that's even better, so you can learn more about counterfeit knowledge. Now, counterfeiting technology is highly advanced, and identification experts must keep up with the times. I only explain things once a day, if you don't understand, ask; if you don't remember, go back and check the materials, no note-taking allowed, use your brain to memorize!"

  Lin Yue nodded seriously and took down all the words Old He had said.

  He Changhe was very satisfied with Lin Yue's reaction, and then pointed to the authentic bean green glaze ear bottle and began to speak:

  "Bean green glaze is a type of celadon glaze that originated from the Longquan kiln in the Song Dynasty. Bean green and Dongqing were originally one category, but later developed their own characteristics. Before the Ming Dynasty, bean green glaze was slightly yellowish, while during the Qing Dynasty it became more purely green. The glaze color is a pale yellowish-green, with a glossy surface that is weaker than powder blue or plum green."

  "In the Ming dynasty, the bean green glaze was stable and calm, with a basic tone of blue-green with yellow flashes. The blue color was lighter than before. In the Qing dynasty, the bean green glaze was light and soft, with shallow colors like lake water and deep colors like green with yellow flashes. The glaze surface was thick and condensed. At the same time, various colors were applied to the glaze and fired again in the kiln, making the porcelain more beautiful and charming. In the mid-Qing dynasty, bean green glaze was also used to outline decorative patterns on a white body, which was then fired in the kiln to create raised decorations. The transparency of bean green glaze is not as good as that of white glaze, so the effect of blue and white porcelain with bean green glaze is not as good as that of colored glaze on top of bean green glaze."

  He Ge paused for a moment and said to Lin Yue, "There are some things you don't understand yet. Just remember them for now and I'll explain later so you can compare. Think about what was discussed earlier too. Ceramic knowledge isn't linear, it's like a complex network. You must learn to use it comprehensively."

  Lin Yue, who was still troubled by professional vocabulary, nodded immediately after hearing the words, and reviewed what He Chang said earlier, and then searched for data on those several enamel-colored names.

  He Changhe then picked up the pieces of broken porcelain and pointed to the surface of the porcelain, saying: "What you said earlier is correct. The glaze appears to be not very transparent, it's quite turbid. And this blue color looks dull and lacks vitality, and it's too thick."

  As he said that, he picked up another piece of broken porcelain and Lin Yue saw that it was actually the bottom of a bottle.

  He Changhe turned the bottle upside down, revealing the inscription "Qianlong Year of the Great Qing Dynasty" on the bottom. He pointed to the inscription and said: "This inscription is loose in body and weak in brushwork, giving people a feeling that it was written casually, with a strong sense of decadence. Take a look at this." As he spoke, he put down the shard of porcelain and tilted the genuine article, revealing the inscription on the bottom to both of them: "This one was printed directly before firing, with each stroke very standard, without any feeling of dragging or hesitation."

  Lin Yue nodded in agreement, indeed as He Changhe said, the pattern at the bottom of the bottle was a part of the bottle itself, refined and powerful.

  Afterwards, He Changhe put the genuine bean-green glazed ceramic ear cup back in its original place and then took out several bean-green glazed ceramics for Lin Yue to see, asking him to identify the characteristics of bean-green glaze based on the ceramics. Lin Yue listened only once and surprisingly got it all correct, leaving He Changhe both astonished and deeply relieved.

  After Dou Qing finished, He Chang and saw that Lin Yue had a good grasp of it. So he didn't care whether Lin Yue could digest it or not, and went on to talk about the development of Qing dynasty porcelain and various glaze colors until 8 o'clock in the evening.

  For dinner, the two were together again. This meal was treated by Lin Yue, and he naturally wouldn't be so rude as to let his teacher treat him, nor would he say anything about going Dutch. It's a matter of course for an apprentice to treat his master to a meal. He Chang also enjoyed the food that Lin Yue had ordered.

  Fan Jianhe often gave the key to Rong Le Xuan to Lin Yue, letting him go to Rong Le Xuan every morning this month to help with business. Anyway, there are prices on the antiques, so Lin Yue naturally knew how much to sell them for, and at the same time, he could also practice his eloquence.

  A meal for two people eating together in harmony, this has made Qin Yaoyao who was waiting at home for Lin Yue very anxious.

  Back in his rented house, Lin Yue just realized that his phone had run out of battery and automatically shut down. He was greeted by Qin Yaoyao, who was furious like a mother tiger. Looking at the full table of untouched food and Qin Yaoyao's slightly pale face from hunger, Lin Yue felt both heartache and warmth in his heart. He comforted Qin Yaoyao for half an hour before calming her down, then he went into his own room, not forgetting that he still had to practice his sword skills, which was crucial to achieving his dreams.

  Just like last night, Lin Yue finished the incense and turned off the lights, then took the knife and chopped at the incense with a "whooshing" sound. Every time he chopped, he quickly adjusted the angle, but no matter how he adjusted it, except by chance, not one chop hit the mark.

  The intense practice made Lin Yao's right arm ache again, this time the pain was unbearable when one-third of the incense stick had burned. Although it was hard to bear, Lin Yao still endured it, he felt that his arm was getting more and more painful with each knife cut, and when the entire incense stick had finished burning, Lin Yao had already reached the verge of fainting. After seeing the last bit of red light disappear, Lin Yao's vision went black, and he fell heavily to the ground, before even hitting the bed his snores immediately filled the entire room.

  The next day, Lin Yue was woken up by Qin Yaoyao again. When he got up in the morning, he felt that his mental state was much better than before, although his right arm still had a sore feeling, but it was no big deal.

  During breakfast, Qin Yaoyao asked Lin Yue what was going on these past two days and why he had been getting up so late. Lin Yue told her about his ceramics learning, saying that he was tired, but didn't mention the fact that he had been chopping xiang with a knife at night. If ordinary people knew that he spent every night in his room chopping xiang with a kitchen knife, they would definitely think he was crazy.

  Qin Yaoyao listened to Lin Yue's words and then entrusted him to take good care of his body. Lin Yue also showed concern for Qin Yaoyao in a few sentences. A moment passed in the midst of their caring words.
