Chapter 74: Years and Years

Wu Duo hurriedly followed, and said in his heart that this really doesn't seem like a new thing, but this is not a bird food jar, and it is definitely not an official kiln, since this is the case, it can't be a big leak.

"Why don't you speak?" Wu Dazhi said with a smile as he walked.

Wu Duo walked side by side with him and said what he thought in his heart, "Grandpa, this is an old object, but it is not an official kiln, nor is it a big leak." โ€

"I didn't say it's an official kiln, it's a big leak?" Wu Dazhi said, "Actually, this is a snuff bottle, but the lid is gone, and the mouth is relatively large, so it is used as a bird food can, no, the bird water jar is used." โ€

"Big mouth?" Wu Duo thought about it, too, it looked like it was a small mouth, but compared to a snuffbox, this mouth was big.

"In your yard, you have planted flowers and raised fish, and there is a bird, that is the fragrance of birds and flowers!" Wu Dazhi tilted his head and looked at the bird cage, "This bird cage is a little old, just go back and replace it, just remove this snuff bottle." โ€

"This snuffbox ยทยทยทยทยทยท" Wu Duo really didn't understand it, and it was not good to put his hand into the birdcage to try.

"Since it's a snuff bottle, it can't be Chenghua; during the Chenghua Dynasty, snuff hadn't entered Huaxia yet!" Wu Dazhi said, "It seems that not only do you not understand it, but the knowledge here is also lacking." โ€

Snuff is a foreign product, which only entered China in the late Ming Dynasty, and it was initially in the form of tribute.

Snuff bottles definitely came later.

"Grandpa, then you can give me some advice. Wu Duo grinned.

"In the late Kangxi period, there were many fine products in the folk kiln imitating Chenghua blue and white, among them, there was a snuff bottle that fell into the 'Chenghua year', which was the best of the best. Wu Dazhi didn't sell Guanzi anymore, "There is a significant feature of this kind of snuff bottle, that is, the word 'year' in it is written obliquely and grassy, which looks like a 'many' word." โ€

"I haven't really heard of it. "Wu Duo's theoretical knowledge of porcelain, although it is also rich, but after all, it is impossible to cover everything, and it is a thing of a folk kiln.

"This kind of snuff bottle of the Kangxi Dynasty, in the mouth of old players, is called 'many years'. Wu Dazhi explained, "Originally, the 'year' was written like 'many', which should be called many years, and should not be pronounced." However, this saying was called from Yanjing, so it was passed down in this way of pronunciation. โ€

"I see!"

"You probably don't have a lot of exposure to snuff bottles. Wu Dazhi continued, "I smoked snuff in my early years, so I know a little bit about snuff bottles. This 'many years', because it is a fine product of Kangxi imitation of blue and white, has been sought after to a certain extent, so there are many imitations in later generations, especially from the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China. โ€

Wu Duo listened and tried to recall. When I went to the market, I should have seen the blue and white snuff bottle with the bottom of the "Chenghua year", just because it was not a thing of the Chenghua Dynasty at first glance, and most of them imitated it and it was not good, so I didn't pay much attention to the details of the payment.

When I hear it now, I'm afraid that the "Chenghua Year System" I have seen is all the "many years" of imitating Kangxi in later generations.

And this one in the birdcage, regardless of the glaze, hair color, and painting, is very good, it should be something from the Kangxi Dynasty, but because it was determined that it was not an official kiln, it was despised and sloppy.

"This one, is a real 'many years' snuff bottle, although it is not a big leak, but I estimate that today's market, how can it be worth 100,000 yuan, right?

"I see. Wu Duo nodded.

"What do you know?"

"There is no size for picking up leaks, and there is little hatred when the book is used. โ€

"It's quite rhyming. Wu Dazhi nodded, "The line of antiques is broad and profound, and no one can do everything!

"I see. Wu Duo nodded again.

"What do you understand again?"

"You used to be a master, even if you weren't in the antique business, but you didn't know what had happened to make you feel resigned. So, you don't want me to get into the antique shop. However, now that I'm stuck in it, you can't pull me out, so you can only try to mention it as much as possible, so that I don't have to take detours!"

"Stinky boy! How good is your smart energy used in studying! If you were admitted to Yenching University or Huaqing University, would it be so difficult to find a job?"

"Isn't my Uncle Di a top student of Huaqing University?

"What is the result?" Wu Dazhi looked directly at Wu Duo, "You can't see people in life, you can't see corpses in death, you want to do the same?"

Wu Duo thought for a moment, "He may have climbed too high, or maybe something unexpected happened." I'm not that high-minded. Also, you look like Zhang Lao, isn't it good for a lifetime!"

"Childish!" Wu Dazhi snorted, "You only watch thieves eat meat, and you don't see thieves being beaten." Besides, what is Zhang Chengjin's background, do you know? If there is no one to protect him, he may not be able to get to where he is today!"

"I see. โ€

"You understand this third!" Wu Dazhi couldn't cry or laugh, "Come, let's talk about it." โ€

"Of the four masters of Jianbao Tianzihao, only Uncle Di has no background!

When Wu Dazhi heard this, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and then sighed, "Yes, it's true." โ€

Wu Dazhi didn't say anything more.

After the two went home, Wu Duo came to the courtyard, opened the birdcage, and released the thrush with his hand, and then removed the snuff box that was used as a water bottle from the birdcage.

The bird circled over the yard and then flapped its wings and flew away.

"You really let it go?" Wu Dazhi leaned against the door and lit a cigarette.

"Isn't that what you said about release?"

"If you say it's a release, maybe you'll be let go. โ€

"No, I guess if it doesn't survive it will fly back to the flower and bird market. Wu Duo said as he listened to the snuffbox.

It is indeed a snuff bottle of the Kangxi Dynasty, something from the folk kiln in Jingdezhen, where the imperial kiln factory is located.

"I hope so. Wu Dazhi looked up at the sky, "You said you were going to participate in an exchange meeting on the weekend, right? Then I'll leave next week!"

"So fast?"

"How long do you want me to stay? By the way, you have to go back for the Chinese New Year! โ€

"I'm definitely going back for the Chinese New Year. But you'll be staying for at least a month this time!"

"No, I still have something to do. Wu Dazhi waved his hand, "After eating at noon, I will go with you to meet your original landlord, didn't you say that he was good to you, and he also mentioned that I would meet after I came?"

"Yes. Wu Duo smiled, "It's just right, you also learn from him to maintain health." โ€

"What kind of life to raise? Isn't it just a set of rules for quitting smoking, quitting drinking, eating a balanced diet? If you can't enjoy your life if you are tied to your hands and feet, will you have any hair?"

"I took U!"
