"Plum Garden Appraisal" is a realistic suspense novel that integrates cultural relic appraisal, technological ethics and family inheritance. Young treasure appraiser Ming Xuan returns to the century-old Plum Garden with his father's legacy and an advanced spectrometer, and launches a "60-day technological treasure appraisal bet" with his conservative grandfather Ming Jian. However, he is accidentally involved in a counterfeiting mystery that spans thirty years. From Panjiayuan's crackdown on counterfeiting to the confrontation at Liulichang, from the dispute over the authenticity of plum vases to the pursuit of Dunhuang fragments, Mingxuan, with the help of Su Wan, Lin Kun and others, gradually uncovered the shocking conspiracy of Song Chengyue, the president of the Cultural Relics Appraisal Association, to monopolize and forge facts in the name of "eyesight authority." The work is guided by real counterfeiting methods such as "old tires with new glaze" and "AI high imitation", and cleverly weaves emotional symbols such as "plum blossom earrings" and "enamel colored watches". In the collision of technology and ophthalmology, the work asks: What is true? What is the heart? When data meets temperature, when tradition embraces innovation, it is never just technology that protects cultural relics, but also the original intention of "keeping integrity and innovating".
