Chapter 96: The Story

Wu Duo didn't expect that what he heard this time was much more surprising.

Fortunately, what he has always heard in his "listening" is not the sound of speaking, but a special melody, which can be automatically transformed into language content in his mind. So it's much shorter than listening to the "words".

Even so, Wu Duo still attracted everyone's attention.

When he put down the garlic bottle, many people cast strange eyes.

"What's the matter, Xiao Wu, do you have any new discoveries?" Zhang Chengjin asked first.

"This should be the Jun kiln of the Jin Dynasty. Wu Duo exhaled slowly.

"And what's the matter with this inscription? This is engraved on the porcelain before it was fired. Lu Yuanfang asked closely.

Without waiting for Wu Duo to answer, Ning Yuanqi said again, "You mean, there is no possibility of high imitation in the late Qing Dynasty?"

Zhang Chengjin, Lu Yuanfang, and Ning Yuanqi, these three people actually represent three points of view, and the question is the embodiment of the point of view.

Zhang Chengjin believes that it conforms to the characteristics of the Jun kiln of the Jin Dynasty, but he can't explain why there is an inscription like the official Jun of the Northern Song Dynasty, and he wants to solve this doubt reasonably.

Lu Yuanfang's director is lacking in calligraphy, painting, and porcelain, and everyone says that he basically believes in the Jin Dynasty Jun kiln, but there is still a trace of the fantasy of the Northern Song Dynasty Guanjun in his mind.

Ning Yuanqi believes that this may be a high imitation of the late Qing Dynasty, because technical problems have led to the dissimilarity.

However, there are three points of view, and the answer only needs one point, and that is why the lettering appears.

Wu Duo heard the reason why the lettering was written, but he didn't know what to say.

This time was very different from the previous ones, and there was so much to hear.

Exactly, he heard a "story".

Everyone must agree that the background of this story is said, but the story itself is really difficult to find evidence······

In the late Northern Song Dynasty, during the Battle of Song and Jin, the Song Dynasty lost the north and could only move its capital to Jiangnan and became the Southern Song Dynasty.

The Jin Dynasty controlled the north, and naturally also controlled the location of the kiln site of the Jun kiln.

At that time, most of the Jun kiln craftsmen, especially the excellent craftsmen, moved south.

From the Northern Song Dynasty to the Southern Song Dynasty, the southward migration of the craftsmen of the major kilns was also the beginning of the shift of the center of gravity of the porcelain industry in China from the north to the south. Prior to this, most of the famous kilns were in the north, but after the Jin Dynasty, the southern porcelain industry began to flourish, and during the Ming and Qing dynasties, Jingdezhen became the undisputed center of the porcelain industry.

In the Jin Dynasty, although most of the Jun kiln craftsmen moved south, the production of Jun kiln was not completely interrupted. And, with the intervention of the Jin Dynasty, the revival began again.

However, after all, the excellent craftsmen are almost gone, so the level of Jun kiln has dropped significantly for a while.

At this time, the Jun kiln was a complete private kiln, but the intervention of the Jin Dynasty was very strong, and the historical materials mentioned the high-pressure policy to restore the production of the Jun kiln and improve the level of porcelain making.

In any case, it is impossible to burn porcelain like the Northern Song Dynasty Guanjun again, so there is a clear difference between the Jin Dynasty Jun kiln and the Northern Song Dynasty Guanjun.

And what Wu Duo heard was the story of a Jun kiln porcelain master.

This person's surname is Song, and his name is Song Jiu.

Song Jiu's father was a Jun kiln craftsman, and in his generation, after his father died, his brothers also became Jun kiln craftsmen.

When moving south, because the old mother was seriously ill and couldn't withstand the bumps, the brothers all left, and only the youngest Song Jiu stayed with the old mother.

Song Jiu's porcelain-making techniques were taught by his father and brothers, and he had not yet learned them thoroughly, so he was interrupted.

However, Song Jiu was very good at learning, and under the rule of the Jin Dynasty, he studied while practicing.

At that time, in order to restore and improve the production and level of Jun kilns, the Jin Dynasty also mobilized craftsmen from the Dingyao and Yaozhou kilns in the north. From these craftsmen, Song Jiu also absorbed the porcelain-making skills of other kilns, and tried to add carving, relief and other techniques when making Jun kiln porcelain.

Song Jiu's level is getting higher and higher. Although it is impossible to achieve the kiln discoloration that "permeates the whole body" of the Northern Song Dynasty Guanjun, it has been able to control the distribution of kiln discoloration patches. And the highest level that the Jin Dynasty Jun kiln can present is only this extent.

Because Guanjun of the Northern Song Dynasty once engraved "one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight and ninety", and Song Jiu's name has the word "nine" in it, he will carve a "nine" on some of his proud works.

This pan garlic bottle is his proud work.

The embossing of cockaches on conventional garlic bottles is also an innovation made by Song Jiu by applying the skills of other kilns.

There were a small number of carved and embossed artifacts in the Jun kiln of the Jin Dynasty, and Song Jiu should be one of the founders.

Song Jiu was just a folk craftsman, and there was very little historical information about the Jin Dynasty, so his name has not been handed down.

At the same time, the number of his personal proud works is not many, and it is certainly even rarer that it can be passed down to the present day after 800 years.

This piece engraved "nine" Jin Dynasty Jun kiln cockroach garlic bottle, the origin is roughly like this.

However, this "story" cannot be a plus for this Jin Dynasty Jun kiln garlic bottle, because there is no way to verify.

Moreover, there is still controversy about this garlic bottle, even if it is a Jun kiln of the Jin Dynasty, at most it can only increase its value because of the relief carving.

Wu Duo thought about it, and didn't know how to say it, so let's not talk about it for now, "I just have a personal opinion, it should be the Jin Dynasty Jun kiln." As for the lettering, it may just be a whim of the craftsman. ”

As soon as he said this, Zhang Chengjin and the others did not ask any more questions, but the discussion about the garlic bottle did not stop, and most of the people gathered around the round table.

"This exchange meeting, the exchange effect is really good!" Wu Duo sighed in his heart, and quietly withdrew from the discussion circle and returned to the original Eight Immortals table alone.

Just about to sit down, he saw Ning Shuang coming over.

Ning Shuang's smile was like a flower, and Wu Duo was a little confused, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just want to ask, why didn't you say it when you saw something?"

"How do you know what I'm seeing?"

"When you hold a garlic bottle, you have a story in your eyes. Ning Shuang stroked her hair, "I don't like to beat around the bush, I came to ask you because I had participated in the archaeological project of the Jun kiln site in the Jin Dynasty, and I had also found the engraved Jun kiln at that time!"

"Well, you should tell me, but guess what I see?"

"It's not that I don't say it, it's that I can't say it. Because it is just a broken piece of porcelain, and the carving on it is just a vertical road, then it may be a broken defective product. Ning Shuang explained, "When I saw the word 'nine' today, I suddenly felt that the vertical path on the porcelain piece could also be a painting of a certain character." However, it still cannot be used as a credential. ”

After Wu Duo heard this, he couldn't help sighing, "Actually, I can't say it." ”
