Chapter 34 Paul invites you to watch the game
Hearing his old friend's sigh, Wang Defa suddenly lost his composure. Is there really something wrong with this painting?
He quickly put on his glasses, took out a magnifying glass, and examined the painting carefully.

The reliability of calligraphy and painting authentication relying solely on the naked eye and experience is very limited, and it is also difficult and hard to be convincing, so the industry will use auxiliary tools for identification.

For example, a magnifying glass or even a portable video microscope can magnify tiny things to clearly see the material of the rice paper, the depth of the ink, the details and strength of the seal and other information. Experienced ancient painting and calligraphy enthusiasts can judge the age, discrepancies and authenticity of the calligraphy and painting based on this information.

In fact, this thing is indispensable for the identification and appreciation of other antiques, and it has almost become a standard.

It took Wang Defa a long time to discover the problem. It was indeed a fake.

Wang Defa turned his head and couldn't help but praise: "Xiao Lin has good eyesight! How did you find the flaw?"

"This……"

To be honest, asking Lin Yuan to comment is purely forcing him to do something that is out of his control.

You have to know that in the antique business, you can't just read a few books and learn some theoretical knowledge and then roll up your sleeves. It requires daily accumulation and a lot of contact with real objects. But even then, you will often be fooled.

So, even if Lin Yuan knew that the painting was fake, he couldn't be sure exactly where it was fake!
On the other hand, he had not yet found any books on calligraphy and painting, so he wanted to find fault with it, but he didn't know where to start.

Therefore, the blacksmith must be strong himself!
"Speak boldly, it doesn't matter if you say something wrong." Uncle De also encouraged.

Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, Lin Yuan pointed to a place and said, "This place looks a little weird, but I can't tell why."

"Isn't this obvious?" Wang Dehua raised his eyebrows.

"Xiao Lin's eyesight is still good." Uncle De praised.

Lin Yuan felt a little embarrassed. He didn't expect that he would just point casually and actually hit the flaw.

Afterwards, Uncle De told Lin Yuan that in the appraisal of ancient calligraphy and paintings, the appraisal of Dong Qichang's calligraphy and paintings has always been an unavoidable focus and difficulty.

The "focus" is on the huge number of forgeries. Some historical materials have recorded that "fake books are everywhere in the world", "fakes are numerous", and "there are so many forgeries that they are almost mixed with pearls", so it is called "Ran Dong".

The "difficulty" lies in the high level of forgery skills. They are able to "mix pearls with fakes" to such an extent that even Dong Qichang's close friend He Sanwei often made mistakes: "They always thought that I did not paint for them, so the paintings I got were all fakes." This adds a lot of difficulty to the authenticity analysis of Dong Qichang's works.

Then, Uncle De pointed out that there was an inconspicuous flaw in this painting.

Just then, Lin Yuan's cell phone rang, and it was his uncle.

"Hey! Uncle...Okay, I'll be back right away."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yuan said goodbye to Uncle De and Uncle Wang.

When Lin Yuan got home, he found Henry and Paul were both there. At this moment, they were discussing today's schedule.

Seeing Lin Yuan coming back, they both stood up and greeted him.

"Brother Lin, what are your plans for today?" Henry asked.

Lin Yuan shook his head: "No."

"Do you like watching basketball games? The Warriors are playing at the Chase Center today," Paul suggested.

Chase Center is the Warriors' new home arena, replacing the original Oracle Center.

Paul did some research before coming here. He learned that American professional basketball games are quite popular in China, and the Chase Center is in San Francisco, so it doesn't take long to get there.

During college, there was a basketball enthusiast in Lin Yuan's dormitory. In addition to playing basketball, he also loved watching NBA. As long as he had time, he would not miss any live broadcast of the game. If he really couldn't watch it, he would also watch the video to make up for it. Lin Yuan was dragged to watch many live broadcasts of the game, which made people's blood boil.

Nowadays, when you come to the United States, it seems like it would be nice to be able to watch the game in person in the stadium!
“Is it still too late to buy a ticket?”

Paul slapped his chest hard and said, "It's just a small matter. Why do we need to buy tickets? When we get to the stadium, we can just go in directly."

Oh my goodness! It seems there is someone inside!

After so many years here, my uncle is no stranger to the most popular sports in the United States, such as American football, baseball, basketball, etc. In his opinion, if he has that much time, he might as well find some fun on his own.

The uncle waved his hand and told Lin Yuan and the others to go and have fun by themselves and not to worry about him.

Half an hour later, Lin Yuan and his group arrived outside the Chase Center.

Paul first went forward and talked to the staff standing at the door, then waved to Lin Yuan and Henry.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan and Henry walked over.

The three of them entered the stadium unhindered.

Inside the stadium, the Warriors logo can be seen everywhere.

In addition, there are large murals of Warriors legends in the stadium, including Barry, Attles, Mullin, Nelson Sr. and Davis.

The Warriors' two ancient superstars, Chamberlain and Thurmond.

The three most important people in the Warriors era: Curry, Kerr and Durant.

Paul told Lin Yuan that the entire Chase Center, both inside and outside, was almost entirely covered in high-tech, with various upgraded LED lights interlaced to create a unique landscape.

Whenever night falls, the entire Chase Center seems to be sublimated under the illumination of these lights. The perfect fluid-like lines under the illumination of the lights are as magical as being in a colorful ocean. Every evening, many people will stop to sightsee and take pictures.

In particular, the murals on the wall that were treated with special lighting appeared vividly at this moment, and the people in the paintings seemed to come alive, lifelike.

Paul also told Lin Yuan that there is a special exhibition hall in the venue for fans to appreciate the team's history and artwork.

The game hadn't started yet, so Paul and Henry took Lin Yuan to visit the special exhibition hall inside.

It displays historical information about the Warriors, the NBA careers of the Warriors' major players, championship trophies, etc.

As he was walking, the portraits of the players hanging on the wall suddenly attracted Lin Yuan's attention. He noticed that the treasure hunting instrument was emitting light spots of a bright color.

It can be seen that these portraits are of great value.

In fact, these portraits were created by top American painters and were of great collection value. However, Lin Yuan knew nothing about this and was surprised.

At this time, a person dressed in a doll costume walked to the center of the exhibition hall and said loudly: "Everyone, the limited-time gift event has begun. With your admission ticket, as long as you answer a question correctly, you can receive a commemorative gift. The quantity is limited, first come first served."

The so-called commemorative gifts are all Warriors peripherals, such as signed jerseys, photos, posters, etc.

Hey! This is...
