Because this picture of Guiguzi descending the mountain can be regarded as a very famous painting.

But it's really rare to want to draw well.

In addition to the display on the paintings, this piece is also very famous in terms of the painting patterns of blue and white porcelain.

After all, this original is a piece of porcelain that has been recorded in history.

This is a piece of blue and white porcelain from the Yuan Dynasty.

Yuan blue and white Guiguzi descending the mountain picture jar, the real product is the blue and white porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty, the main decoration is the Guiguzi descending the mountain, describing the story of Sun Bin's master Guiguzi in the repeated requests of the envoy of the Qi State, Su Dai, promised to go down the mountain to rescue the famous generals of the Qi State, Sun Bin and Dugu Chen, who were trapped by the Yan State.

Chen Nanshan remembers clearly that this blue and white porcelain was sold for 14 million pounds at the auction of Chinese ceramics, crafts and export crafts held at Christie's 15 million pounds after commission, which is equivalent to about 230 million yuan, setting the highest auction record for Chinese art in the world at that time.

This is a replica of that jar from fifteen years ago.

Xiao Zhang's current state is almost indistinguishable from the real thing.

It was 2005, and the fact that this price was able to be auctioned is a testament to the value of this piece of porcelain.

As a family of blue and white porcelain, Chen Nanshan himself is quite familiar with this porcelain.

Even I have imitated it myself on weekdays.

But it has never reached the level of Xiao Zhang.

This Guiguzi descending blue and white porcelain jar is 27.5cm high, 21cm in diameter, 33cm in abdominal diameter, and 20cm in foot diameter.

The plain bottom is wide and the feet are wide, the mouth is straight and the neck is short, the lips are slightly thicker, the shoulders are rounded, the shoulders are gradually widened, the abdomen is gradually closed, and the bottom is slightly skimmed.

The blue and white pattern is painted with imported cobalt material, which is divided into four layers, the first layer of the neck is decorated with water ripples, the second layer of the shoulder is decorated with entwined branch peonies, the third layer of the abdomen is the theme of Guiguzi downhill decoration, and the lower part of the fourth layer is the deformed lotus petal pattern inside the painting Chenbao, commonly known as the eight big yards.

Chen Nanshan is really too familiar.

Xiao Zhang's pattern is as if it is genuine, and the details are too well handled.

Chen Nanshan knows this legendary piece of porcelain very well.

Because the Guigu downhill pattern on this genuine jar is a gem in the blue and white porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty.

The pattern is Guiguzi sitting in a car pulled by a tiger and a leopard up and down the mountain.

The story comes from the Yuan Dynasty print "Le Yi Tuqi Seven Kingdoms Spring and Autumn Collection", which shows the story of Sun Bin being imprisoned by Yan during the war between Qi and Yan in the Warring States Period, and his master Guiguzi went down the mountain to rescue his apprentice.

The vivid patterns on the jars, the delicate workmanship, and the work of painters rather than craftsmen make the jars uncommon for blue and white porcelain.

The same Yuan blue and white Jinxiang Pavilion picture jar was also auctioned at Christie's in Hong Kong in 2005 for a high price of 49 million yuan.

The scene painted on the jar comes from the famous playwright Wang Zhongwen of the Yuan Dynasty "Meng Yuemei Writes Hate Jinxiang Pavilion", which shows the tortuous love story of Chen Gui and Meng Yuemei, a talented and beautiful woman in the Tang Xuanzong period.

Although the stories of the subjects in the two cans are different, the height and diameter of the objects are roughly the same.

The neck and shoulders are also painted with similar ornaments.

It's a pity that the mouth of the Jinxiang Pavilion picture jar has been repaired, and its value is much lower than that of Guiguzi descending the mountain.

Most of the decorative patterns of Yuan blue and white porcelain are peonies, bamboo and plums, dragon patterns, lotus patterns, flowers and birds, etc., therefore, the appearance of historical figures and stories on blue and white porcelain is more precious.

It can be seen from this that this genuine Guiguzi descended the mountain at that time.

Although the other jar is a little less valuable because of the repair.

But the difference in value between the two is four or five times greater.

Chen Nanshan sighed at the intricacy of Xiao Zhang's pattern painting.

In Chen Nanshan's memory, the pattern of the original product is also so ordinary.

Even a lot of the color details are quite reasonable.

Chen Nanshan carefully looked at Xiao Zhang's blue and white porcelain jar, and said: "Looking at the pattern, Guiguzi is sitting in a car pulled by a tiger and a leopard, leaning forward slightly, his demeanor is calm, extraordinary as a fairy, showing his demeanor of strategizing and winning thousands of miles away, beautiful, beautiful, really realistic!"

After a pause, Chen Nanshan continued: "The two foot soldiers in front of the car are holding spears to open the way, a young general is heroic, riding on horseback, holding the battle flag, writing the word Guigu, Su Dai riding behind the palace, full of momentum, smooth characters, details in place, Brother Xiao Zhang, this painting can be called a classic!"

Chen Nanshan then commented: "This line of people and the mountains and trees and stones really constitute a spectacular and beautiful landscape character painting, the whole blue and white pattern is colorful, the picture is full, sparse and dense, the main and secondary are distinct, integrated, the characters are portrayed smoothly and naturally, full of charm, the mountains and rocks are dyed heartily, the pen is fine, very perfect, you must know that the real painting is not from the hand of the craftsman, but from the hand of the real master, Brother Xiao Zhang, your imitation of the master's painting can be said to be a must!"

That's a very high review.

Of course, it is enough to see the excellence of this genuine Guiguzi descending map!

And the subtlety of the painting.

I am afraid that this high price is also because of the subtlety of the painting.

Xiao Zhang belongs to the kind of person who can grasp the essence.

The main power of this jar is on this pattern, so Xiao Zhang also put a lot of effort into the pattern!

Chen Nanshan sighed: "Brother Xiao Zhang's jar is just like what Mr. Sun Yingzhou said that the porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty is quite fine, and Brother Xiao Zhang has burned this porcelain imitating the Yuan Dynasty out of the soul." ”

Xiao Zhang said with a smile: "Brother Nanshan, don't hold it, I also have some special feelings for this jar, and the reason why I chose this piece to be fired is also because of the particularity of its pattern." ”

After a pause, Xiao Zhang continued: "The theme of this jar is very peculiar, and of course, the peculiarity of the subject matter is more important to reflect the protagonist in the picture story, that is, Guiguzi. ”

"You must know that this Guiguzi is different in history, has always been a rather mysterious figure, in the history of China, there is indeed Guiguzi and his people, Guiguzi is a patriot in the middle of the Warring States Period, the date of birth and death is unknown, he traveled around the world in his early years, long in rhetoric, good at giving advice, and wants to seek news to reach the princes, but because of bad luck, the career is not obvious, and then in order to achieve the words of the family, independent sect, he lived in seclusion in the Guigu Valley, wrote books and said, widely accepted disciples, and taught according to his aptitude. The name of his seclusion is called Guigu, because of his self-named Guiguzi, he is also known as Mr. Guigu. Of course, this ghost does not refer to ghosts and treachery, but to strange and secretive, and superhuman wisdom. Xiao Zhang said with a smile.

"So I have some special feelings for this jar with a unique theme, if I can say that my imitation can reach the level of the master of the year, this is absolutely impossible, there are still differences in many subtleties!" Xiao Zhang is very humble at this point.
