Chapter 80: Storytelling

The rape field is not very acidic, and the blue-glazed amphora dug up on the first day has been exposed to the air since it was unearthed, and the glaze layer of plum green has not changed in any way, which makes Zhang Nan completely relieved. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although I know that this batch of baby porcelain should not have a "dandruff" situation, but now I am not sure with my own eyes, this is still a little unsure.

On the other side, there is a question that has been circling in Guan Xingquan's head: who are these porcelains originally?

Because Zhang Nan said: When these porcelains are buried, almost all of them are new, although many of them are practical utensils, but they are all at the level of official kilns!

And it's very interesting, like that lotus-shaped lid jar, it is the top level in the imperial kiln!

The official kiln is the official kiln, which arose in the Southern Song Dynasty. The official kiln is also divided into two types: the imperial kiln is specially paid tribute to the emperor, and the official kiln is actually run by the official family, not only for the government, but also for a very small part of it will be sold to the people - for example, the officials of Zhishi, after returning home and retiring, can go to the official kiln to buy the porcelain they need, and even customize a batch of fire.

For example, the construction of a large mansion and ancestral hall will require a large number of porcelain, and it cannot be too much, and the officials who have some ability will go to the official kiln to burn a batch.

Of course, if an incumbent official wants to do something, he will do the same.

However, the porcelain of the imperial kiln is not sold by any government and private people, and now people generally refer to the two kilns as official kilns.

And many things can not be fired in the kiln: many of the shapes, patterns, colors, etc. in the porcelain fired by the official kiln are used by the emperor and the royal family, such as the bright yellow and dragon and phoenix patterns in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and this kind of porcelain is not allowed to be fired in the kiln.

And even if the official kiln porcelain has failed to be fired and has defects, it has to be smashed to prevent outflow!

I knew these things about Xingquan before, and later Zhang Nan said: Stay by the side of an antique connoisseur, and I understand it.

When the porcelain was raised, Guan Xingquan found that some of the porcelain had dragon and phoenix patterns on it, which according to Zhang Nan's statement: in the Southern Song Dynasty, this must be a tribute kiln, that is, an imperial kiln.

But it seems that there was no king in the Southern Song Dynasty here, and it seems that even if the emperor gave the imperial kiln to his brothers and nephews, they should not appear here!

Moreover, when he was in the "research base", Guan Xingquan found that there was an inscription of "Fengxianglou Qian Xin" on a bronze vessel, what is the situation?

While waiting in the hotel, the two of them were studying the problem.

......

Zhang Nan will clean an extremely rare Southern Song Dynasty Longquan kiln blue glaze Cong porcelain bottle, such a porcelain vase dug out a total of 2 pieces, the diameter of 8 cm, the diameter of the foot 8 cm, the height of 27 cm.

Round mouth, square body, convex horizontal and vertical stripes on each side, small circle feet, mouth and foot are the same size.

White tire, plum green glaze, raised stripes glaze slightly lighter, no glaze at the end of the ring foot, light vermilion.

In the Southern Song Dynasty, the Cong-style bottle was made of porcelain for furnishings in the shape of an ancient jade, and the people who would like antiques.

Zhang Nan's hand in this Longquan kiln Cong bottle, the dignified and simple shape of the jade cong and the warm and subtle glaze of Longquan porcelain are perfectly combined, the ice is clear and jade, elegant and noble, and the glaze color is appropriate, and the ancient rhyme is repeated.

And Zhang Nan knows that these are also the only two Cong-style bottles dug out of the cellar in the world, and other genuine Southern Song Dynasty products on the market are also extremely rare, either hand-me-downs, or dug out of ancient tombs by extreme chance.

As for the jade, it is a kind of inner circle and outer square cylinder-shaped jade, a kind of ritual vessel used by ancient people to worship the gods, which first appeared in the third phase of the Xuejiagang culture in Qianshan, Anhui Province about 5100 years ago.

In the middle and late Neolithic period, jade cong appeared in a large number in the Liangzhu culture in Jiangsu-Zhejiang area, the Shixia culture in Guangdong Province, and the Taosi culture in Jin Province.

Of course, the heirloom jade cong did not start to be handed down from four or five thousand years ago, but was dug up hundreds or thousands of years ago, and it should be a good thing at that time.

"It is definitely not easy for someone who can use porcelain for furnishings at this level!" Zhang Nan said while playing with the bottle in his hand.

As soon as he heard Zhang Nan's words, Guan Xingquan, who was cleaning a green glazed lotus petal pattern lid cup, said: "Do you say that 'Fengxianglou Qian Xin' is the original owner of these things?"

"It's hard to say, unless he's a relative of the emperor. ”

"I buried it when I was fleeing, and I can't be wrong about that. According to common sense, the cellar method of the Song Dynasty was generally brick or stone cellars, and these things were obviously buried directly by digging a pit.

Although the things were placed in a very orderly manner, it was still possible to judge that their owners did not have much time, and must have made a knot in a hurry in a desperate situation, and then fled in a hurry, and embarked on the road of no return.

Combined with the analysis of the time and place of the Song-Mongol War, the burial time of these things should be in the Duanping period of the Southern Song Dynasty, that is, around 1235. ”

"How do you do that?"

In 1234 AD, the Mongol Empire launched a war to destroy the Southern Song Dynasty, and in the 45 years until the fall of the Southern Song Dynasty in 1279, the city of Xichuan Rongcheng was captured by the Mongol army three times.

I remember that in 1231, Tuo Lei led the troops to attack Xichuan, saying that it was a way to attack gold, not to massacre the residents of Rongcheng. Not to mention other places, the thousand-year-old city of Rongcheng has only been left with no people, and the remains in the city have reached an astonishing 1.4 million! The Han people have been exterminated!"

"Is that Torre on TV?"

Guan Xingquan stopped what he was doing, stood up straight and asked Zhang Nan.

"Just the year before last, the one in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was only a catty-tow mine.

According to the statistics provided by scholars from the history of the Song Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, after the massacre of Xichuan by the Mongols, the population decreased from 13 million to between 600,000 and 800,000!

Especially in the Xichuan Rongcheng Plain, after this blow, the thousand-year-old prosperity and ancient civilization form are almost gone!

I can't remember how many years that war fought, but Sui N is not far from Rongcheng, and it is estimated that this is the time, this batch of porcelain should be buried, and people will die!

The inscription of 'Fengxianglou Qian Xin' can be the shop number or house number of the porcelain owner, but this is just a guess on my part. ”

Saying that, Zhang Nan picked up a bowl with white glaze printed entwined branches and peony petals on the bed, and said, "It's very interesting to add this!"

Let's call this mysterious porcelain owner 'Fengxianglou master' for the time being, he may have opened a money bank, and at the same time operated a porcelain business, and he must have a strong government background.

And he must be a rich man, and the fact that he owns so many precious porcelain is proof of this: some of this grade of porcelain was even more expensive than the same weight of gold at the beginning!"

"It's probably more expensive than gold now. ”

"Yes, mostly! How many do you choose?"

Guan Xingquan's face was disdainful, and he didn't bother to pay attention to Zhang Nan, so he said: "Take it back as a rice bowl?"

"Hehe, it can really be used as a rice bowl, these 985 pieces of porcelain alone should not have been used. ”

"Don't go too far, go on. ”

If you don't interrupt, this Zhang Nan can continue to pull it crookedly!
