    Reader note

    I learned to identify soil from my grandfather when I was twelve. The soil from Han tombs smells burnt, from Tang tombs it smells sour, and from Song tombs it smells of camphor wood. Items from water-damaged sites have a layer of "watery bone" to the touch, while those from dry-damaged sites don't. The patina on genuine artifacts is warm from the inside out, while the patina on fake artifacts is cold and floating on the surface. I can tell the kiln and era of any porcelain piece I've handled without even looking at it; just by lifting it, touching it, and tapping it. This skill was passed down by Master Jiao and is called the "Twelve Methods of Identifying Counterfeits." I combined it with my experience in the herbal medicine shop and transformed it into the "Four Methods of Observation, Smell, Inquiry, and Palpation"—observing the complexion, smelling the odor, inquiring about its origin, and feeling its pulse. Like medicine, genuine artifacts have a deep, sinking quality; fake artifacts have a superficial, floating quality. I've included this skill in this autobiography. How to identify the fish-scale pattern in the fill soil of Han tombs, how to interpret the net-like mud marks in the mounds of Tang tombs, how to excavate the porcelain mounds of Southern Han Dynasty, how to touch the porcelain recovered from Song and Yuan Dynasty shipwrecks, and from which angle is the safest to drill into a sand-filled tomb—I've written everything I can. There are some things I haven't written. For example, the jade seal my grandfather brought out of the tomb of the King of Nanyue in 1948, engraved with four symbols. I've researched it for decades; I've seen it on the bottom of Southern Han Dynasty porcelain jars, in Song Dynasty tomb inscriptions, on stone pillars on the seabed of Yangjiang, and on the stone platform base of the underground lake in Shunde. It appeared from the Baiyue era to the Qing Dynasty and doesn't belong to any known writing system. Another example is the stone structure submerged forty nautical miles off the coast of Yangjiang. My grandfather wouldn't tell me what it was. He said: "Some things are better left unsaid." I didn't listen.
