The "Wangong bed" is staggering, and the "Wangong sedan chair" in front is even more exaggerated!

Wangong sedan chair, this kind of play can only be seen in Ningshaotai, in fact, it is the top sedan chair, which needs to be carried by eight people, also known as "eight sedan chairs". Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The sedan chair is divided into three classes according to the number of carved figures and the level of craftsmanship: one of the sedan chairs in the Yongcheng Exhibition Hall is the first-class sedan chair, and it is also the most luxurious sedan chair in existence.

The whole sedan car mortise and tenon structure is connected, without a nail, composed of hundreds of detachable flower plates, and there is no car door!

The sedan chair is carved in wood, and the bottom of the vermilion lacquer shop is decorated with gold leaf appliqués, which looks resplendent from afar, like a miniature palace!

The sedan chair adopts round carving, relief carving, openwork carving three craft techniques for decoration, carved with 250 figures, countless flowers, birds, insects and beasts, also called it "a hundred sedan chairs".

In addition to auspicious themes such as the blessing of heavenly officials, the unicorn sending children, the Kui Xing Dian Dou, and the dominance of the leader, there are also opera scenes such as "The Story of Huansha", "Tianshui Pass", "Iron Bow Edge", "Water Margin", "The Story of the West Chamber", "The Story of Jing Hai", "Picking up the Jade Bracelet" and so on...

"Eight sedan chairs, this is the level of the governor of other provinces in the Qing Dynasty. ”

It was Qiu Bo who spoke, and he still knew a little bit about history.

When Zhang Nan heard this, he said: "In addition to those top bureaucrats who can sit in an eight-lift sedan chair, in ancient times, only women could take an eight-lift sedan chair once when they got married, which is a half-pair of luan.

There is a legend here, it is said that in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, Song Gaozong, who had not long ascended the throne, fled to the front of a lake in the Ningshao Plain under the pursuit of the Jin soldiers.

Later, Song Gaozong sent a decree to search for the village girl to "save the driver" in vain, and in desperation, he ordered to allow the women of the Ningshao Plain to enjoy half a pair of Luan when they got married.

The special treatment of this half of the phoenix is to take an eight-lift sedan chair, on which the sedan can be carved and painted with a phoenix -- if it is changed in other places, it is arrogant and will be killed.

Of course, no one knew whether this legend was true or not, but the right of the bride to ride a sedan chair and the wedding parade ceremony in the old days was retained, and it slowly evolved into ten miles of red makeup before liberation. ”

"Ten Miles of Red Makeup" contains too many things, if the most exaggerated full set is assembled, it will not be able to fit in the huge exhibition hall!

“... In addition to these, at that time, there would be a large amount of land, mountains and forests to marry. The mountains and forests are also known as 'Chai Mountain', which means that even if you marry into your family, all the firewood that our daughter has every day is her own, and she doesn't have to be angry with her in-laws.

The woman's dowry is the daughter-in-law's own private property, and the husband's family has no right to embezzle it. Even if a woman dies, these dowries and land properties can only be inherited by the children born to the woman, and no one else has the right to obtain them..."

Listening to Director Nong's words, Zhang Nan interjected: "I heard that the most exaggerated ten-mile red makeup ended up with a coffin pressing the array, Director Nong, is there such a thing?"

Director Nong smiled and said, "Yes, some have coffins, which means that although the daughter is married, she is born, old, sick and dead, and her mother's family is all ready." ”

Yes, the coffins of a hundred years later were brought over at the moment of marriage, what else does the husband's family have to say?

......

In addition to the cannon and ten miles of red makeup, the Yongcheng Exhibition Hall also has a classic collection is the Yue kiln celadon, even the authentic secret color ware has - the Tang Dynasty, the five dynasties of the Yue kiln celadon kiln site of the top in Yuezhou, Huiji Shangyu, Yongcheng Cixi have the top kiln site, the fired celadon represents the highest level of celadon at that time.

And Zhang Nan's hometown of Yan County belongs to Huiji, just next door to Shangyu, very close to the core area of the Yue kiln, so there are a lot of unearthed Yue kiln porcelain, and there are many top goods.

Before his rebirth, Zhang Nan liked Yue Kiln very much, and this time he visited the exhibition hall, the wooden "Ten Miles of Red Makeup" was actually a lively look, because he didn't play with wood and didn't understand.

The main thing is to see the celadon: the top "secret color porcelain" in celadon has only been used once before he is reborn, and it is a slag bucket, which is the treasure of a friend.

The slag hopper, which originated in the Jin Dynasty, was used to hold spit. If it is placed on the dining table, it is specially used to hold food residues such as meat, bones, fish bones, etc., and the small ones are also used to hold tea residues, so they are also listed in the tea set.

My friend's slag bucket is a large one, and it is obviously used to hold scum such as meat, bones, fish bones, etc., and to put it bluntly, it is a spittoon.

Secret color porcelain, secret color porcelain, in fact, is the most fine in the Yue kiln celadon, a special porcelain to pay tribute to the imperial court, the texture and color are like ice and jade.

As for what kind of color the "secret color" refers to, people used to have different opinions on this, but in April this year, 13 pieces of Yue kiln celadon ware were unearthed in the Tang Dynasty underground palace of Famen Temple Tower in Fufeng County, West Qin Province: on the account that records the royal family worship utensils of Famen Temple, this batch of porcelain is indeed recorded as "porcelain secret color" - that batch of "secret color porcelain" except for two pieces of blue and yellow, the rest of the glaze is blue, crystal and moist, as clear and turquoise as the lake.

Secret color porcelain, royal special: a royal spittoon, if it is not a good relationship, Zhang Nan can't see it from his friends!

How much is it worth?

It's not super expensive, 800,000. But that's the price my friend bought from Tufuzi.

What is the selling price?

People don't sell it at all!

In the auction market of later generations, there will sometimes be the so-called "secret color porcelain", the price is millions at every turn, but compared with the batch unearthed in Famen Temple, in fact, it is not a secret color porcelain at all, at most it is a good boutique in the celadon of the Yue kiln.

And the slag bucket that Zhang Nan has seen is completely comparable to the batch of secret color porcelain in Famen Temple in terms of craftsmanship and color.

It's a pity that Zhang Nan can't appreciate that artifact anymore, but fortunately, there is one in the Yongcheng Exhibition Hall!

Here, all the porcelain he looks at in the exhibition hall can be seen, and the agricultural curator and staff will definitely give this face.

......

A group of people walked to the porcelain exhibition area, skipping the original porcelain, until the Yue kiln porcelain exhibition area.

"Curator Nong, can I get my hands on that secret color porcelain holding pot?"

Several glass display cabinets here were locked, and Nong Bosheng said with a smile: "Xiao Zhang, you really know how to pick things, this is the best secret color porcelain melon holding pot in the country, unsurpassed." You can get started, but be careful. ”

Curator Nong is very confident, because he has this self-confidence -- there are two pieces of secret color porcelain in the exhibition hall, which can be regarded as fighters in secret color porcelain! One of them is this holding pot, and the other is also on the side: lotus leaf tray.

"Don't worry, if something goes wrong, I'll pay 100 million. ”

Of course, the two of them are joking, they are both connoisseurs, and of course they will not take things out recklessly.

Here, the director of the agricultural curator said to a staff member: "Xiao Wang, go get the mat." ”

"Yes, Curator. ”

The key to the display cabinet was in the hand of Director Nong, but he didn't move for the time being, but chatted with Zhang Nan.

After a while, the man returned: holding in his hand an old thick cotton quilt, presumably folded in half.

Zhang Nan looked at it and smiled: "Haha, Director Nong, your insurance measures are really good!"

Putting the pot on such a thick quilt is difficult to come up with.

The director of the agricultural curator personally opened the cabinet, untied the two transparent fishing lines used to fix the exhibits, and carefully took out the secret color porcelain melon holding pot of the Yue kiln and placed it on the double-layer quilt spread out on the ground.

The "tall porcelain" on display in the museum is reinforced with fishing lines - Jiangnan Province is not in the seismic zone, but every few years, the faint impact of an earthquake hundreds or thousands of kilometers away can sometimes be felt.

A plate is no problem, this pot is still reinforced with insurance, so as not to shake it slightly.

As for putting it on the ground and looking at it on the table, it is safer to start it, and the premise is that the person who is not in his seventies or eighties can't walk - he has to squat, or simply sit on the ground and get started.

After the things were put away, the agricultural curator squatted and introduced: "This melon holding pot is 25.8 cm high, 11 cm in diameter, and 8.4 cm in bottom diameter. In 75 years, it was unearthed at the site of the Tang Wharf in the urban area and Yilu, and the excavation was accompanied by the remnants of the Tang Dynasty Yunhe Shou character bowl with the words "two years of Dazhong". At the same time, there is also a secret color porcelain lotus leaf pothole. ”

Zhang Nan motioned to the people on the side to stay away and squatted down.

Squatting to get hands on the porcelain is most afraid of someone nearby, in case you bump into someone to come to a big horse to party, it will be lively.

This piece holds a pot with a flared mouth, a long neck, sloping shoulders, a melon-edged belly, a short hoop foot, and a multi-prismatic long flow and curved flat ribbon-like handles on the shoulders and neck. Because you can watch it, you can clearly see that the whole tire is dense, and the glaze is blue and yellow and moist!

The best of the best!

After seeing enough, the pot was put back on the quilt, and then the agricultural curator carefully put it back into the display case and reinforced it with a fishing line.

There was no need for Zhang Nan to say anything, the director of the agricultural curator took out the lotus leaf pot in the same display cabinet and put it on the quilt for Zhang Nan to see enough.

The object is 6.6 centimeters high, 11.8 centimeters in diameter, and 6.6 centimeters in bottom diameter. It is a tea set in the Tang Dynasty, composed of a cup and a holder: the cup is open and five lacks lotus shape, the arc belly is embossed with five edges, and the foot is circled.

It resembles a stretched lotus leaf, slightly rolled up on all sides, shallow abdomen, and circled feet.

The tray is combined, the whole vessel is like an unearthed lotus leaf holding a blooming lotus flower, the fetal quality is fine, the glaze is moist and dripping, it is a treasure in the secret color porcelain of the Yue kiln!

In Zhang Nan's eyes, if you look at the firing quality of the porcelain itself, it is a grade higher than that holding pot!

After reading and putting the two things back, Zhang Nan sighed with emotion: "Director Nong, it's a pity, such a good thing can only be seen." ”

"No! Besides, don't say that you can't get the secret color porcelain abroad, don't worry about our two pieces here, first-class cultural relics, don't even think about it. ”

"Haha, just talking. At present, I really haven't seen a secret color porcelain auction outside, and I will definitely go to see it, but I don't think it can compare to these two of you.

Nowadays, the secret color porcelain in some museums is simply bragging, and there are more sheep heads selling dog meat at auction outside, these two are genuine!"

It's all about touting, but it's also true.

Of course, the people in the exhibition hall like to listen to it - everyone wants their exhibits to be first-class.

There are a lot of porcelain in the kiln here, from the earliest products of the Eastern Han Dynasty to produce the kiln, through the Three Kingdoms, the two Jin Dynasty, the Southern Dynasties, the Tang Dynasty, until the Song Dynasty, the representative of more than 1,000 years are: creation, maturity, development, prosperity and decline, these several large passages of the history of the kiln porcelain can be clearly seen in the exhibition hall.

Director Nong also introduced all the way - they were the only ones in the exhibition hall, and the administrator Xiao Wang simply closed the door.

Zhang Nan likes to go to museums, and as a collector, he has to learn all his life, and the museum is one of the best places to learn.

The layman looks at the excitement, and there is a real expert named the director of agriculture who has a detailed introduction and answers to all questions, not to mention the laymen like Alyosha, and even Zhang Nan, an expert, has benefited a lot.

For example, the Yue kiln is broken, regardless of the age of the unearthed tombs, the agricultural curator can judge from the artifacts themselves, and even if Zhang Nan has been a native master and a collector, this level is not as good as that of the agricultural curator.

"Curator Nong, do you have any research on Jin Wen?"

This exhibition hall is almost over, and Zhang Nan asked Nong Bosheng in private.

"It's okay, I know the common ones. Why, do you have an inscription to identify? Anytime. ”

Director Nong is very straightforward, but Zhang Nanke is about to hide it. (To be continued.) )
