Chapter 174: Chapter 174 Liao Xuexue’s Appraisal

With these two points, she now has some persuasive power among the small team at Jiang City Riverbank.

As a result, the group of old men suddenly closed their mouths, all curiously looking at Liao Xuexue.

Including Elder Liao himself, many of the old men couldn’t believe that this nearly rough object could be blue and white porcelain.

Hence, Elder Liao, who just treated this object as a pickling jar, shamelessly asked, "Xuexue, could this thing really be blue and white porcelain?"

Liao Xuexue nodded, trying to calm the shock in her heart: "Not only is it blue and white porcelain, but this item might also be from the Tang Dynasty, because at the bottom of the vase, there is a Tang Dynasty stamp engraved."

"Although it is in ancient Tang Dynasty script, I’ve studied history; the four big characters under the vase..."

"Great Tang Prosperity!"

Liao Xuexue squatted down, pointing at the bottom of the vase, slowly speaking.

Elder Liao gasped in surprise, "My goodness, Xuexue, are you saying that this thing Ye Chen fished up is actually an antique?"

Liao Xuexue nodded again.

At the same time, she cleared her throat and began to explain to everyone as an archaeologist.

"Moreover, judging from the craftsmanship of this blue and white porcelain, it can be determined that this is a blue and white porcelain vase made in the early Tang Dynasty."

"In the early Tang Dynasty, the craft of making blue and white porcelain was not yet perfected, which is why it looks so rough."

"Although the vase has some chips, for an item that is a thousand years old to be preserved like this is already quite remarkable!"

Hearing this, Elder Liao and the surrounding crowd were even more astonished.

Everyone was flabbergasted.

Only now did they realize that the thing Ye Chen fished up is actually from the Tang Dynasty!

The live stream room also heated up at this moment.

Previously, some audience members were discussing how extraordinary this item was, and it could possibly be an antique.

But at that time, discussions were mixed, and the words of those few viewers didn’t catch much attention.

But now, the vase was ashore and closer to the camera.

And Liao Xuexue had also spoken out.

The viewers in the live stream room were incredibly shocked, expressing their opinions on the bullet comments.

"Oh my, could it be that this girl is telling the truth?"

"It must be true; I am from Jiang City University, and Liao Xuexue is our university’s top student in the history department."

"I remember this girl; she is Elder Liao’s granddaughter. Last time at Seyves Reservoir, when Teacher Ye fished up the handgun and hand grenade, she was the one who explained it to everyone. She also mentioned that she had researched history."

"Maybe the netizens don’t have much concept of Tang Dynasty artifacts, let me explain a bit, up until now, the Tang Dynasty is over a thousand years old, and only 32 pieces of Tang Dynasty blue and white porcelain have been discovered and preserved well, stored in museums. This girl said this blue and white porcelain is from the early Tang Dynasty, so the early Tang Dynasty started around 618. If she is correct, this blue and white porcelain could be over fourteen hundred years old!"

If previously the viewers in the live stream room were unsure about the thing Ye Chen fished up.

Now, after Liao Xuexue spoke, their tone became much more confident.

According to common sense, a person’s recognition of an unfamiliar object usually depends on the impressions and views of others.

Just like Ye Chen’s blue and white porcelain vase, because many people saw those patches of mud on the exterior of the vase, it led to it looking more and more like a broken vase.

If everyone was discussing that this object is blue and white porcelain, is an antique, then the recognition of this object would slowly become that of so-called blue and white porcelain, an antique.

The same was true for the group of people on the shore.

Especially the owner and his wife, they had already gathered around.

At this moment, the owner’s wife remembered that she had casually mentioned earlier that Mr. Ye might catch something valuable.

Could it be that what was caught was indeed a treasure?

However, after staring at the object for a while, the owner’s wife felt somewhat astonished.

If this thing is indeed an artifact, the owner’s wife recalled that she had never seen a relic in such a dilapidated state in her memory.

Of course, the owner’s wife usually didn’t have the opportunity to come into contact with artifacts.

The artifacts she knew were mainly from treasure appraisal shows on TV.

Those treasures, regardless of their authenticity, at least appeared sleek and shiny.

This, on the other hand, looked nothing like those; it was just a broken bottle, covered in mud and moss...

Moreover,

She and her husband had been leasing this fishpond for many years, and had never come across anything like this.

She had heard of people unearthing treasures before, but catching a treasure from the water,

that seemed a bit far-fetched no matter how she thought about it.

Yet, it was none other than Mr. Ye Chen who had caught this treasure!

Isn’t this Ye Chen famous for catching outrageous items?

Thinking of this, the owner’s wife felt that anything caught by Mr. Ye could indeed have a chance of being a real treasure...

At this moment, the owner’s wife was still closely examining the vase.

Old Liaotou, standing nearby, couldn’t help but say with a puzzled look: "Xuexue, are you... sure this thing is an antique?"

After Old Liaotou finished speaking, the crowd around turned their attention to Liao Xuexue.

Liao Xuexue nodded and said, "Yes, this is my field of study, but I also can’t rule out the possibility that it is a modern counterfeit."

"Looking at the material, it definitely is Tang Dynasty blue and white porcelain."

"The blue and white porcelain from the early Tang Dynasty had many fine cracks due to the less advanced kiln technology at the time, and these fine cracks look like the patterns you see when glass shatters."

"This special pattern is called ’glass pattern’, and this glass pattern is representative of the craftwork of blue and white porcelain in the early Tang Dynasty..."

"So..."

At this point, Liao Xuexue became somewhat excited.

"If this blue and white porcelain vase is authentic, then it might very well be an artifact from over fifteen hundred years ago!"

Boom!!!

Hearing Liao Xuexue’s words, everyone present was shocked.

Old Liaotou was especially taken aback and incredulously said, "Xuexue, are you saying this thing has such a long history?"

"To think it’s a treasure from over fifteen hundred years ago..."

Watching her grandfather’s incredulous expression, Liao Xuexue pointed to the characters at the bottom of the vase that resembled hieroglyphs and said,

"Look at these characters; these are Tang Dynasty Chinese characters. Although they look quite different from our modern Chinese characters, they are documented in historical records."
