Could the two small black bowls dug up from a small ruined tomb be national treasures? Although the name sounds quite powerful, Xiang Weirong still doesn't believe it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

As soon as he returned to the compound, Xiang Weirong took out two small bowls from his pocket and looked at the sun.

Although he was wearing plastic wrap, he slowly saw a little wayway.

"Interestingly, this bowl is like a layer of engine oil. As he spoke, he handed the bowl out of his right pocket to Zhang Nan.

Under the sun, the inside of the small bowl is like Xiang Weirong said, as if there is a layer of engine oil: the whole bowl seems to be covered with large and small light spots, and with different angles, those light spots are still changing.

The other bowl is much simpler: it's as if it had just been washed, it's shiny and smooth, and the most interesting thing is that there are two half-crossed golden leaves at the bottom of the bowl!

The transparency of the plastic wrap is good, even if it is separated by three or four layers, you can see the veins of the leaves at the bottom of the bowl!

"This is a wooden leaf appliqué bowl from the Jizhou kiln, and this technique has been lost today.

The two leaves are natural, and it is said that the leaves are corroded and pasted to the porcelain body, and then roasted in a kiln. After this is successfully fired, the leaf surface and veins of the leaves can be clearly left on the porcelain.

There are half-leaves and one leaf, and there are also two-leaf and three-leaf overlapping, which is a very rare variety.

It's magical, with clearly textured leaves floating on the black and shiny glaze, which is very interesting. ”

Zhang Nanyi said, the other two also came over, and the more they looked at it, the more interesting they felt: it was hard to imagine what the porcelain workers did at the beginning!

"These two small bowls are actually two tea bowls, and the Song people like to order tea and fight tea, and think that this kind of bowl is the best. ”

Zhang Nan's words made Xiang Weirong a little puzzled: drinking tea with a bowl with a black tone?

It's awkward to think about it - it's almost the same with a white porcelain cup, and it's not nothing.

Knowing the doubts of his brother-in-law, Zhang Nan said: "The ancients drank tea differently from us, and there were a lot of tricks, not with boiling water."

By the way, Shamili, it's a bit similar to how you drink it back home.

Before the Tang Dynasty, this tea was to boil the tea leaves with onions, ginger, dates, orange peel, dogwood, mint and other spices and ingredients, and after the water was boiled, the foam was removed to drink the soup.

In the Tang Dynasty, it basically became sencha: boil water and add a small amount of salt, wait for the water to be half boiled, pour in the tea leaves, boil and take water to drink.

And until the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, this tea drinking was not popular among ordinary people, and tea drinking began to be really popular in the Song Dynasty.

In the Song Dynasty, Wu Zimu's "Dream Lianglu" raised tea to the height of "seven things to open the door", saying that "those who can't cover people's daily lives, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar tea", and the overly elegant Song Huizong also wrote a book "Daguan Tea Treatise", that is, drinking tea. ”

Drinking tea and adding seasonings made Qiu Bo, who was planning to make a cup of white green tea for several people, a little awkward - holding a tea caddy in his hand, imagining the drinking method of the ancients in his mind, it was a little awkward to think about it.

However, Alyosha drinks both green tea and black tea, and if possible, he will add some milk and sugar to the black tea, but he doesn't feel much after listening to it.

Xia Mili, who went with him, didn't care even more: he used to drink milk tea in his hometown, and he and Alyosha had a common language. However, after being a soldier for many years, the conditions for maintaining the original habits were not maintained at that time, and this winter would often be a person holding a large tea jar soaked in white green tea.

Here Zhang Nan talked about the tea drinking habits of the Song people: the most common way to drink tea in the Song Dynasty was the tea ordering method - in the early Song Dynasty, the tea ordering method and the sencha method coexisted, but the sencha method was basically abandoned in the late Song Dynasty.

"The tea ordering method is to first grind the tea into a powder, and then screen out the tea powder with the right grain size. We generally try to preserve the original leaves of tea when we drink tea now, and the Song people are doing everything possible to turn tea leaves into minced pieces.

After the tea powder is made, put it into a suitable tea cup, pour the tea powder in the tea cup with boiling water, and stir and beat it with a bamboo tea whisk at the same time, until a bowl of tea soup is formed, which is like drinking coffee and milk powder today.

And this bucket of tea first originated in Jianzhou, Fujian Province, was originally a kind of competition for tea farmers to evaluate the quality and inferiority of new tea, and then with the introduction of tribute tea into the imperial court by the emperor, the black glaze Jianzhan has also become the standard tea set for the royal tea.

Black porcelain can set off the white tea soup and distinguish water marks, and was the favorite of scholars and literati at that time. In the Song Dynasty, the literati ruled the world, and the status of this black porcelain was still quite high. ”

As he spoke, he picked up the "Yao Chang Tianmu" and said, "But this may not be a Jizhou kiln, it may be a kiln product in Fujian Province." However, it is also possible that it is said that at that time, both Jiangxi and Fujian provinces were firing similar products. ”

Zhang Nan can be regarded as a porcelain expert, but the most refined only Ming and Qing porcelain and Yue kiln celadon, this black porcelain can only be regarded as a little understanding, and it is impossible to distinguish it at once.

"This Yaobian Tianmu bowl is more precious than the Jizhou kiln wood leaf applique bowl, and the firing has a great chance of firing, and the flare of this glaze fired at a high temperature will shine with a colorful halo under sunlight and a certain temperature condition.

It's beautiful, but it's not easy to fire. ”

When Xiang Weirong heard this, he said: "It was precious at that time, how could it appear in the stone tomb?"

"Hehe, now there are eight pieces of Chinese porcelain in the little devil that are designated as national treasures, and the top three are all 'Yao Changtianmu' tea cups that built kilns. Among them, the "Yao Chang Tianmu" in the collection of the "Seikado Bunko Art Museum" is also boasted by the little devils as the "world's first bowl".

The little devil thought that the bowl was given by God and boasted of being the supreme god, but in fact, those bowls were brought back by the little devil monks who came to China in the Song Dynasty, and it is said that they were taken away from the area of Tianmu Mountain.

Although the scale of the stone tomb was not large, the people who could afford to build such an exquisite tomb at that time, even if they were not officials with real power, they must be local tyrants, at least the kind at the level of Ximenqing.

A few little devil monks can get this kind of bowl, I guess if Ximenqing likes to drink tea, there should still be a way to get a few, and it is not strange to be a funeral object. ”

However, Ximenqing seems to have another official title, which is very common among local tyrants in the Song Dynasty, and the tomb owner may also have this official status.

said that the effect of Ximenqing is good: even if the people present have not read the original work, they have at least heard of it, and they have watched a few episodes of the 83 version of "Water Margin", and they can understand who Ximenqing is.

It's not that he has the ability to pick up girls, but Ximenqing's worth and identity.

"Would you like to wash it?"

Xiang Weirong asked.

"No, it's now in the warehouse for ten days and a half months. The soil has been isolated from the air for eight or nine hundred years, so let it slow down first, otherwise I'm worried that the glaze will blow up. (To be continued.) )
