Chapter 85: If you want to have a good dream, you must rely on a good pillow
Originally, Wu Duo thought that Ge Liang would come up with something strange.
As a result, what he took out was porcelain.
A porcelain pillow.
Typical Cizhou kiln porcelain pillow.
The name Cizhou kiln is actually given by a foreigner, this person is called Hobson, a ceramic expert who studies China, and only named Cizhou kiln in the early 20th century.
Originally, Cizhou kiln was the largest kiln system in the Northern Song Dynasty, but there was no very accurate and systematic record.
Because the historical materials of the kiln mouth of the Northern Song Dynasty were written by the Southern Song Dynasty, the north was occupied by the Jin State at that time, and the Southern Song people knew too little.
It was not until the Ming Dynasty that the Cizhou kiln was expounded in the famous "Gegu Yao".
Later, the "Jingdezhen Pottery Record" also said that "magnetic clay" was the raw material for firing porcelain at that time, and this mistake directly led to the porcelain with Chinese characters in the Wa Kingdom and the Korean Dynasty, which was made into "magnetic ware".
The biggest difference between Cizhou kiln and other folk kilns is that it has a lot of kiln mouths in the north, so many that it is difficult to count clearly. Although the "C county" used to be named is in Hebei Province, there are also several core kilns, but many other kilns have not been specifically divided, so a large number of similar northern kilns were simply called Cizhou kiln system.
The porcelain pillow that Ge Liang took out is white ground and black flowers, which is also a typical decorative technique of Cizhou kiln.
And it's written on it.
There are words on it, which is not a sign, or purely decorated with words, and it is the main pattern, large characters.
This porcelain pillow is about 25 centimeters long, 20 centimeters wide and 15 centimeters high, with a simple floral pattern on the side, and on the pillow facing upwards, there are eight large characters:
If you want to have a good dream, you have to rely on a good pillow.
The black characters on the white ground are written on the tire, and the outside is covered with a layer of transparent glaze, which is fired.
In fact, the tire of Cizhou kiln is not very fine and not very white, and the reason why there is such a black and white effect is because the tire is coated with a layer of makeup soil.
Cosmetic clay is a process creation invention of Cizhou kiln. To put it simply, makeup clay is equivalent to a layer of white powder. Putting on a foundation first for makeup on a person's face is similar to makeup.
Of course, if there is good porcelain clay, who still uses makeup clay, so this process was gradually abandoned.
"Seniors, I am a little white in antiques, but I have studied a lot of magic weapons, this 'good dream' porcelain pillow has a very strong atmosphere, and it is definitely not something new. Ge Liang smiled slightly, "I want to ask everyone to break the dynasty first, and then I will further talk about the wonders of this 'wonderful pillow'!"
Then, everyone present stepped forward to see it one after another.
Luo Yuze was the first to go up, he greeted Wu Duo but didn't wait, he was the first to go to the round table.
"Master Ge, this porcelain pillow can't be padded in the coffin, right?" Luo Yuze stepped forward and looked at it, grinning.
Nowadays, the understanding of the porcelain pillow of Cizhou kiln is more comprehensive, and in the early years, many people believed that the porcelain pillow of Cizhou kiln was a funeral item under the head of the dead.
And the porcelain pillow is too hard, and the pillow is not comfortable.
Cizhou kiln porcelain pillow does have a large number of unearthed, but the heirloom is not nothing, and through some ornaments and words can also be determined, mainly living pillows.
However, some porcelain pillows accompany the owner to sleep before his death, and they are indeed placed in the coffin after his death.
As for the hard pillows, they are not seen today, but they were very common in ancient times. There are even police pillows, which are a round piece of wood, and some have a bell. Makes it easy for you to wake up and hard to sleep.
Sima Guang, who smashed the cylinder, used a police pillow to win time for him to write "Zizhi Tongjian".
Ge Liang was not annoyed when he heard Luo Yuze say this, "You are a master, you can see for yourself." ”
Wu Duo then stepped forward and took a general look at it first. This porcelain pillow, Wu Duo can still see that it has not been in the soil, it should be a heirloom.
Because everyone wanted to watch it, Wu Duo just looked at it briefly, and immediately put his fingers on it and listened.
After Wu Duo withdrew his hand, he saw that Zhang Lao was beside him, so he took a step away and made a gesture of please.
"You seem to feel good!" Luo Yuze asked beside Wu Duo as he walked back to his seat.
"This thing is indeed from the Northern Song Dynasty, and it is a heirloom, but it is ······" Wu Duo groaned.
"But what?"
"Sit down. ”
At this time, Hu Yunde and Chen Yongjun were still at the round table, and only Wu Duo and Luo Yuze were left at the Eight Immortals table.
"But this thing has a very special feeling, could it be that you can really dream if you have a pillow?" Wu Duo continued after sitting down.
"This Luohan head, big fool!" Luo Yuze pouted, "I see, he is also an antique dealer, but his methods are more clever." People sell antiques, focusing on the vintage and artistic value; Look, you're on the cover! Wait and see, and later he will make a fuss about the 'good dreams' and 'wonderful pillows' of the porcelain pillow, saying that the pillow can help sleep and so on. ”
"You seem to be familiar with this kind of routine, huh?" Wu Duo smiled.
"Everything is the same, don't you just want to sell it for more money?"
"But I felt pretty comfortable. ”
"This is the authentic Cizhou kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty, and it is a heirloom, can it be uncomfortable?" Luo Yuze raised his eyebrows, "Many people here are old, I'm afraid they don't sleep well, I think he can sell it at a high price today." It's high, it's really high!"
This porcelain pillow from the Cizhou kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty is considered to be something that opens the door, so there is no controversy at the scene. Everyone will read it quickly, and everyone will be in place.
Ge Liang heard that everyone had no objections on the side, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, slightly complacent but slightly tense.
"Seniors, in terms of the value of antiques, I won't get an axe. The next thing I'm going to talk about is a special useful feature. This porcelain pillow, according to my research, is of great help to improve sleep effect and sleep quality because of the long-term benign sleep breath circulation!"
Ge Liang said, raising his right index finger and swinging it slightly, "This is not nonsense. Don't look at me as a feng shui practitioner, but I also like to explore scientific truths in everything. Here, it is related to the magnetic field of life, but there is no definite theory of the system at present. However, I have personally verified that I can sleep very comfortably with this porcelain pillow······"
Ge Liang said above, Luo Yuze sneered below, and whispered to Wu Duo, "Look, he will propose who is interested in it later, and he can try it tonight!"
Wu Duo also smiled, and said in his heart that Luo Yuze's mind in this area really can't be compared.
Sure enough, Luo Yuze was expected, Ge Liang proposed who was interested in "trying to sleep" tonight, and said that he had been carefully cleaned and disinfected before coming.
This porcelain pillow itself, if it is auctioned, is also something that has the potential to rush to millions. It's a bit bold to ask someone to just "try it out". However, all of the people present here are people with heads and faces in the circle, and Ge Liang is not without calculations.
