Instead of looking at the three complete vessels, they took the petal fragments to study, which is the habit of real archaeological researchers?

Before Zhang Nan could speak, he saw Chen Jianghua carefully touching the surface of the fragment with his hand, and then raised his head and said to himself: "Mr. Zhang, the teacher's judgment theory is right!"

The tone is excited!

Chen Jianghua's teacher, of course, is not the one who taught him physical education, although judging from the action of this guy who was anxious to go to the main deck just now, he was agile, and the physical education teacher should have taught him well.

It's Nongbosheng.

"Curator Nong, what theory?"

Zhang Nan was puzzled.

Chen Jianghua didn't have any embarrassed expression on his face, he still looked excited, probably like letting people share his joy, and he didn't even pay attention to others and didn't know the cause and effect of the incident at all.

After reacting, he always had to explain, got up and said: "The teacher has studied the blue and white porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty for a period of time before, but unfortunately there are too few sample specimens that can be referred to, and he has not been able to make a complete academic report.

The teacher thinks that the Yuan Dynasty is the most positive type, which is the blue and white of this kind of export..."

"Jiang Hua, I know what the supreme positive type is. ”

Zhang Nan couldn't help but interrupt him: Big brother, let's talk about the point, what theory? Don't hang people's appetites, okay!

"Oh, that's right: the teacher thinks that the blue and white porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty is different from all the later official kiln porcelain, and the top high-end product is not an ornamental ornament, but a plate for eating!"

When Zhang Nan heard it, he was a little embarrassed: this is a "big contrarian theory", which completely violates the consistent traditional understanding of Chinese porcelain!

Saucers, soup spoons and other small pieces are not counted, in the traditional sense, the low-end of daily utensils, high-end furnishings, ornamental utensils, which can be distinguished from the output, process quality.

The plates and bowls are all daily utensils, and here is the lowest end of the bowl, then the plate, and the upper part is the ornamental ware such as vases.

This is the case in all dynasties, how did it come to the blue and white porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty, how did the most high-end products become plates?

Why, it can't be its turn, right?

Zhang Nan's mind turned, and such a thought popped up in an instant: "Mongolians have alternative values?"

Yuan Dynasty, alternative! It's really different, it's so unreasonable that it's unreasonable.

For example, toilet paper in the bathroom...

Cai Lun made paper, but until the Southern Song Dynasty, almost no one used paper in the toilet, of course, there may be exceptions for the royal family, nobles, officials, and rich people who have too much money to go.

Why?

It's not because you're poor and can't afford it, but because paper is used to write, copy, and print the books of the sages, and you take it to wipe your ass?

Beware of drowning in saliva!

The Mongol army is coming, and the people with scimitars and bows and arrows don't tell you any sage teachings, and this paper is just right to wipe your buttocks.

Then, starting from the Yuan Dynasty, the Chinese people slowly bid farewell to bamboo and wood pieces.

Could it be that the Mongolian ruling class of the Yuan Dynasty was not happy to look at porcelain, and must raise the status of the plate to the highest?

Zhang Nan was also curious, and asked, "How does Curator Nong judge?"

"Quality. ”

As he spoke, Chen Jianghua handed the porcelain piece in his hand to Zhang Nan - this one is not a businessman, he is not a researcher.

"You look at the fetal quality of this porcelain plate is very tight, from the cross-section, it can be said that it is better than the official kiln of the Ming and Qing dynasties!"

Zhang Nan also saw the section just now, it is very thick, it can be one centimeter, but even if it is so thick, it is still very delicate, and there are no bubbles and cracks at all.

Chen Jianghua said here, bent down again, and carefully picked up a huge blue-ground white-flowered phoenix with a patterned rhombic plate. Place it upside down on a leather sofa.

According to the current research, this Yuan Dynasty to the positive type of blue and white can be roughly divided into large jars, plum bottles and other large bottles, large plates and daily small utensils.

According to the teacher's analysis, the large jar and large bottle are either wine vessels or storage vessels of the Islamic and Lan worlds, which can be confirmed by some Middle Eastern frescoes preserved in the 14th century.

The teacher thinks that when firing and practical, there is nothing to do with the loose tire quality of these two types of supplies, so now you can see that there are many holes in the tire where the bottom of the large jar and bottle is exposed.

At the beginning, the teacher went to several museums with Yuan Qinghua and got started, so he made this discovery. ”

As soon as he arrived here, Zhang Nan said: "It's true that you say this, there is a positive Yuan Qinghua Wei Chi Gong in my old family who rides the Savior picture jar alone, and the porcelain tire at the bottom is really not as dense as the official kiln of the Ming and Qing dynasties." ”

The big jar that Heng County got from the county, there is no need to hide it, and any reason can be made public, even if it is said that when he was on a business trip in Gui Province, he bought it from the street for 5 yuan.

After digging it out, it was thrown into the corner of the back alley as rags, and no one cared about it for 7 years, who will remember it.

It's more likely that unless you take the initiative to make it up, no one will ask at all.

As soon as Chen Jianghua heard Zhang Nan's words, he didn't ask about the big pot: in his opinion, it was normal for Mr. Zhang to have any collections, but it was because there was too much money.

At this time, Chen Jianghua turned the plate upside down again, touched the plate and said: "Look, Mr. Zhang, this glaze is very smooth, and there are almost no brown eyes."

If the tire is coarse and loose, as the temperature rises during firing, the gas trapped in the cracks of the porcelain tire will begin to move, and some bubbles that rush out of the glaze will form brown eyes at the moment they blend into the outside world.

The looser the fetus, the more brown eyes there are, and the official kiln has fewer or even no brown eyes than the private kiln, because its fetal mass is tight, and there is almost no gas left in it.

When the Is-Lan world eats, the owners of this kind of blue and white plate are basically princes and nobles. Daily necessities during meals, especially when entertaining guests, the blue and white plates on which the food is placed are even related to the face of the host.

If there are too many brown eyes on the glaze, it will not only look rough on the utensils, but also accumulate dirt after a long time, which is unsightly and unhygienic.

In addition, the "Zhizheng Yuan Blue and White" is basically an export item, even a high-priced customization, which can be done in accordance with the requirements of customers, and can be done at any cost. ”

Zhang Nan listened and watched, and found that he had stopped, and he didn't know how to say a word, so he didn't think about Chen Jianghua and said: "The teacher has also studied too many fragments of Yuan blue and white fired at the kiln..."

"Yuan Qinghua has a lot of kilns?"

It was the first time Zhang Nan had heard of such a thing.

Chen Jianghua nodded, "There are many, Jiangxi Province, Fujian Province and Inner Mongolia and other places, this origin is different, the kiln mouth is different, and the fetal quality is relatively coarse and loose in the plate fragments of Su Ma Liqing, but this situation is extremely rare."

However, they are all fragments, which cannot be put together at all, and the complete plate has not been found, and the complete academic report cannot be published, but because the vast majority of the fragments are relatively close and the production is also very sophisticated, it is almost difficult to find brown eyes on the glaze of this Yuan Dynasty blue and white plate. ”

At this point, Chen Jianghua smiled and said: "The advance payment is traditional, and the production process of this large plate is the highest grade in all the most positive ware, and it is really the top product." ”
