Chapter 130: Cloisonné Enamel (Chapter 5: Asking for a Monthly Pass)

Wu Machuan introduced it to his family, and also took out the Nanhong pendant, and gave it to his wife like a treasure.

The people in the live broadcast room suddenly discovered that such a man is sometimes quite cute.

Hu Yang took Andy and Xiaoli and greeted them politely, saying that they were disturbed.

When Wu Machuan's family heard this, the pendant was worth about 10,000 yuan, wasn't it about the same price as gold? They were slightly surprised, and they also remembered that it was left by the previous people.

"Sit, sit, sit, what are you doing? The old man immediately took out some dried fruits, biscuits, snacks, etc., and greeted them.

The elderly are always so hospitable, which is a traditional virtue of the Chinese.

There is a saying: those who come are guests!

Then, be entertained.

What's more, according to Wu Machuan's words, these people are here to help take a look at the old objects in their house, whether they are worth anything or not, they are appraisers.

When I was in the ancient street just now, Hu Yang bought some fruits and the like, and he couldn't come to the door empty-handed, right?

"Do you smoke?" Wu Machuan's father also stopped his work, washed his hands, took out a pack of cigarettes, and asked.

Hu Yang and Andy hurriedly waved their hands, indicating that they would not smoke it, so they were welcome.

"It's not good to smoke, it's healthy, and it saves money. Wu Machuan's father praised.

Wu Machuan's mother glared at him: "Do you know that you are healthy and save money, and you still smoke? let you quit, as if I was going to kill you." ”

The middle-aged man smiled and thought: Is this more uncomfortable than killing me?

It seems that strict wife control will be inherited, terrible!

Wu Machuan's wife Xie Yunting was full of joy, and looked at the pendant for a while, she liked the color very much. However, she heard that men wear Guanyin and women wear Buddha, so she still gave the pendant to her husband.

"This is Guanyin, you wear it yourself. ”

Wu Machuan always wanted to give good things to his wife, and said, "There is no such thing as this kind of exquisiteness, right?"

The old man nodded: "Yes, there is exquisiteness." ”

The old people are more traditional people, and they think that some of the rules passed down from their ancestors are better not to change, and they should pay attention to what they should pay attention to.

Seeing Wu Ma Chuan looking at him, Hu Yang smiled and said: "Whether you are particular or not, in fact, it is not too important, the important thing is that you are happy."

Men wear Guanyin, women wear Buddha! This is a tradition left over from ancient times.

The homonym of Guanyin is 'official seal', in ancient times, men are the best choice to be officials, and men wear it to please the meaning of a good mouth, hoping to be able to be named on the gold list, and glorify the ancestors. Moreover, the man's personality is relatively impatient, Guanyin has a gentle temperament, and wearing Guanyin can add a stability.

This also has something to do with our traditional Chinese ideology and culture of reconciling yin and yang, and now our younger generation may not pay much attention to this kind of thing. ”

The "female Buddha" hopes that women will be less jealous and cautious, have a big belly like Maitreya Buddha, and be more tolerant.

After Xie Yunting heard this, she even stuffed the Guanyin pendant into her husband's hand: "Then you still wear it, we don't want to be prosperous, just be safe and smooth." ”

This is also the most common desire of ordinary people.

When a guest came, the little guy was completely liberated, and immediately reached for the remote control, turned up a TV station to watch the bear infestation, and watched TV while munching on biscuits with relish.

As long as you have a child in the family, you will find yourself in love with cartoons.

"Homework done?" Xie Yunting glared, educating children at home, she has always played the role of playing blackface.

The old man said to help: "Let him watch for a while! ”

Therefore, the elderly and children are usually a pair. When they get into trouble, it is not unreasonable for children to seek refuge from their grandparents first.

The little guy got the support of his grandfather, and he immediately had no fear.

Xie Yunting was speechless, feeling that in this family, she was like a wicked person. This is also the case every time I take my child back to my parents' house.

"Brother Hu, wait a minute, I'll turn things out. Wu Machuan said.

After speaking, he asked his grandfather again: "Grandpa, which ones are handed down by the old lady?"

The old man followed in and found out the things in his memory together.

Wu Machuan's grandmother and mother were talking to Hu Yang, and they asked if Hu Yang and Hua Tsai had a girlfriend or something, and they had the intention of introducing girls.

Hu Yang is okay and can deal with it, Andy was defeated in an instant, and his face was red when asked. Only Xiaoli snickered beside her.

It seems that women in China have to talk about this kind of topic when they meet.

"Yangcheng is good, there is still a car and a house, let's stay for a few more days! In the past two days, my aunt will help you find a few good girls." Wu Machuan's mother said.

With such good conditions, it is not difficult to find their girl from Quanzhou, so she wants to be this matchmaker.

Hu Yang couldn't help but panic, pretended to be calm, and said regretfully: "My aunt has a heart." However, we still have some places to go next, and time is of the essence. Next time, I would like you to arrange it next time when you have a chance. ”

Fortunately, Wu Machuan quickly walked out with two or three things first, and the poplar was released.

Seeing something, Hu Yang smiled: "It seems that your family used to be really a big family." ”

He picked up one of the objects as if it were a slap on the wrist and fingers stretched out.

"What is this?" Andy wondered.

As soon as Brother Hu saw this thing, he said that Wu Machuan's family used to be a big family, and it was definitely not an ordinary thing.

"The pen holder, to be precise, is a cloisonné enamel pen holder. Hu Yang replied.

I saw that this frame is in the shape of a mountain, with a mountain cliff pattern on the top, a sea sea pattern on the bottom, a swastika pattern in the middle of the glaze, and an oval base with copper gold-plated chisel flowers below.

"This kind of thing, in ancient times, was also a treasure, and the poor could not afford it. ”

Listening to Brother Hu's words, Wu Machuan's family had bright eyes and happy faces. Although their family's small life is quite passable, it is not good.

At the very least, the house is noticeably narrower now. When the child grows up, he has to vacate the room, which is a problem that Wu Machuan and other adults often think about.

Buying a house?

Their housing prices in Quanzhou are not low, about 10,000 yuan, and a hundred or dozens of square meters, which is millions, but there is not so much deposit.

If there is something valuable in these old objects, it is the best.

Hu Yang told them that the pen holder is also one of the important treasures of the study, which has been valued since ancient times, and many of them are works of art.

Cloisonné enamel is a traditional Chinese handicraft, belonging to one of the varieties of enamelware, generally referring to copper tire cloisonné enamel, also known as "cloisonne".

"Porcelain, or metal?" Andy was a little confused.

Enamel porcelain, which he often hears about, is porcelain. But now Brother Hu is talking about copper tires, it's a bit messy. If it is made of copper, can it still be considered porcelain?

"It's not porcelain, it's two concepts, not the same. ”

In essence, porcelain is clay fired, and the core of cloisonné enamel is copper. It is made of thin flat copper wire, pinched out various patterns on the copper tire, and then filled the colorful enamel dots in the pattern, which is made by firing, grinding and gilding.

Although they both have the word enamel, they are not much related to each other.

There are two theories about cloisonné enamel, or cloisonné, and there is no unanimous opinion.

One theory is that cloisonné was born in the Tang Dynasty, while the other theory is that Kublai Khan of the Yuan Dynasty introduced it to China from West Asia and Arabia during his expedition to the west.

However, there is one thing that is recognized by the academic community:

During the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, it was the advantages of Chinese cloisonne production technology, and it was raised to a new level, reaching a glorious stage, and the word "cloisonne" was born.

Here, we have to sigh that during the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, a lot of fine art was really born, such as Xuande furnace and so on.

There is a phrase in the antique world called "Yongxuan Shengshi". It is the reputation of antique people for the three dynasties of Yongle, Hongxi and Xuande in the Ming Dynasty, which created a prosperous situation for 33 years.

The "Yongle Grand Canon" that everyone saw before, the sweet white glazed porcelain of the Yongle period, the Xuande furnace in the Xuande period, etc., are all artistic business cards of that era.

It can be said that it was a golden age of highly developed art.

During the heyday of the Ming Dynasty, the strong national strength, prosperous economy, and revival of culture all shone brightly through the remaining cultural relics.

"It's a pity that it wasn't produced in the Ming Dynasty, but a cloisonné enamel from the Qing Dynasty. ”

As far as he knows, cloisonné enamel is better than the products of the Ming Dynasty, all the products of the Ming Dynasty, its material is translucent and not magnetic, and the big green color, its translucency is more powerful than other colors.

Its properties are slightly the same as glass, its color is like oil green jade, red is like Changhua's chicken blood, purple is like dark old amethyst, blue is similar to blue glyph, and white is like clotted fat.

Although the style of cloisonné enamel follows the norms of the Ming Dynasty, the fine glaze of the cloisonné is not as good as that of the Ming Dynasty. ”

It was the emperor of the Qing Dynasty who wanted to imitate the artwork of the Ming Dynasty, but found that some of the superb craftsmanship of the Ming Dynasty had been lost, and the things made were a little less tasteful.

It's like cooking, people have an extra condiment, and the dishes they make naturally taste better.

"How much is that worth?" Wu Machuan asked.

His family is concerned about how much it can be worth, which is also what normal people want to know.

Worthless antiques, no matter how much you talk about them, will not be taken seriously and will not attract attention.

In recent years, the price of cloisonné has generally been getting higher and higher. In the past, a work almost 50 centimeters tall usually sold for 70,000 or 80,000 yuan, but now it costs hundreds of thousands of yuan.

Some royal productions are even more expensive, even in the Qing Dynasty, they have sold tens of millions, or even more than 100 million works.

"Your pen holder, about 600,000 yuan! Mainly this is a folk thing, and it can't be linked to celebrities, otherwise it would be more than a million to say the least. ”

But even so, in ancient times, such a pen holder cost dozens of taels of silver to get it.

Therefore, Hu Yangcai said that Wu Machuan's family used to be a big family.

Wu Machuan and the others were already ecstatic, and 600,000 was far beyond their imagination.
