Chapter 76: Do You Understand?
"Worker?" Yu Yao said in his heart, the more he listened, the more confused he became, could it be that the grimace spent money, not the ancestor of the Zhong family, but Zhong Qiansu got it unintentionally?
"Isn't it strange? Zhong Yu was not born at that time, and you don't know how to understand it at your age, there are only workers and peasant cadres, how can there be any antique dealers and antique markets!"
"So he wants to do this, purely out of interest?"
"Exactly, I don't know if he wants to do it or not. ”
"And this picture?"
"Back then, Chenguang Ceramics Factory, as far as Zhong Qiansu and I had the best work, I obeyed him for everything else, but there is one thing, my Chinese painting foundation is slightly stronger than his. Although I paint on ceramics with a sketch brush, I can afford to put it down. Back then, we learned a little bit from each other. ”
When the lame man said this, his eyes were a little confused, "We have been working in a workshop together for several years. Then, one day in the early eighties, he took this picture and asked me how I was doing. ”
When Yu Yao saw the appearance of the lame man, his heart suddenly moved. This lame man can say this to himself, and I'm afraid it's not all because he doesn't want to owe himself! This kind of thing is backlogged in my heart, and sometimes I need a reason for catharsis.
At the same time, his eyesight may make the lame man feel that he is not only a qualified listener, but also may be able to break through some doubts by the way.
According to what the lame man said, he didn't actually know what the Yuan blue and white jar was, and the most precious one was Yongxuan blue and white, but he felt that this jar shape was a bit rare.
Not surprising at all. Although Yuan Qinghua is now famous, it has actually been studied for a short time.
During the Republic of China, there was a pair of dragon pattern elephant ear vases flowing out of the country, in addition to the ornamentation, there are also words, including the words "to the eleventh year". In the fifties, it was discovered by an American named Pope, which led to large-scale research.
Since then, there has been a saying of "the most positive type of Yuan blue and white", which generally refers to the use of imported Su Ma from the blue and white materials and rich ornamentation of the Yuan blue and white.
In fact, there was blue and white porcelain in the Song Dynasty, but it was very ordinary and rough, and many blue and white porcelain in the Yuan Dynasty were the same.
Even if it is the "most positive type Yuan blue and white", most of them are dragon patterns, flower patterns or something, such Yuan blue and white, there should be hundreds of existing pieces.
However, there are too few large-scale Yuan Qinghua with character story pictures!
Later researchers suspected that this was not a product of the Yuan Empire's control of the Fuliang Porcelain Bureau, because in the later period of the Zhizheng era, the porcelain had been occupied by Zhu Yuanzhang, and the Yuan blue and white with character story pictures were very likely to be only available during the period of Zhu Yuanzhang's control, so it was so distinctive and rare at the same time.
Therefore, even if there are people in China who study it during the Republic of China, it can only be an individual case.
The lame man said that in the early eighties, there had been a lot of research on the Zhizheng type of Yuan blue and white abroad, but the country was far behind, and only a few experts and top collectors knew about it. As for some scattered antique markets that have just emerged in China, there are even fewer people who know about them.
It is said that when the blue and white jar of Sangu Thatched House Yuan first appeared, it was traded as blue and white in the Ming Dynasty.
As a result, Zhong Qiansu told me that this is a big pot of Yuan blue and white flowers! He also told me what is called the most positive type Yuan blue and white flowers, and also said that this kind of picture with character stories is definitely a medium superb. ”
After hearing this, the lame man was stunned for a while, and only asked for a long time, "Where did you know this?"
Zhong Qiansu thought for a while before replying, "Mainly listening to the radio, do you know the country of Turkey? There is a Topkapi Palace, and there are dozens of Yuan blue and white fine products!"
The lame man asked again, "Then the content of this picture was also heard by you from the radio and then painted by imagination?"
Zhong Qiansu was vague, "It's not all, you just say how the painting is, right?"
The lame man looked at the picture, and when he was realistic, "It's a good painting." However, it's easy to draw on paper, but it's much harder to draw on a big jar!"
Zhong Qiansu nodded, "I'm just drawing and playing." ”
The lame man thought for a while, and then said: "How can you say this picture? In terms of the ancient meaning revealed in this painting, you have already surpassed me!"
Zhong Qiansu seemed very happy after hearing this, "Then you stay and figure it out, you taught me so much before, so I'll give it to you!"
At that time, the lame man really liked the picture on this picture, so he accepted it. However, Zhong Qiansu then instructed, "The relationship between the two of us, that is, you, you must not transfer it to others!"
The lame man naturally agreed.
However, from beginning to end, Zhong Qiansu did not mention whether he would make such a big pot.
Later, Zhong Qiansu and the lame man left the ceramic factory one after another.
After the lame master made high imitation porcelain, he learned that Zhong Qiansu and his younger brother Zhong Qiansheng, that is, Zhong Yu's father, had started an antique business.
But their business is very secretive.
Although the lame master and Zhong Qiansu were in the same porcelain capital later, they saw very little, but they only heard Zhong Qiansu talk about it in a chance meeting.
Moreover, the sources of the lame man are mixed, and I also heard that the Zhong family seems to have close contacts with many people in the rivers and lakes.
As for Zhong Yu, he has studied with Zhong Qiansu since he was a child, and his eyesight is also very good. Zhong Yu often visits the market, only entering and not leaving, and has the name of "Ghost Market Zhong Kui".
After saying this, the lame man paused for a moment, and then asked slowly:
"Do you understand?"
"I seem to understand two things. ”
"Good. ”
The lame man said, holding down the armrest of the chair and standing up, he took two steps but stood still, "Your eyesight is so amazing to me, so I can't help but want to ask you a question." ”
"The lame man wants to ask, if you make another thing from Xingyao Dayingku and solve the two problems I said, can I still distinguish between the old and the new?"
The lame man nodded, "Talking to smart people is indeed labor-saving." ”
"Now, no. ”
"Are you an answer?"
"Doesn't count?"
"Count?"
"Eh, lame man, I'm just talking to you about it, so why take it seriously. ”
The lame man stopped talking, walked to the door, and opened the door directly.
Yu Yao followed the lame man back to the living room, Lao Zhou and Pu Jie got up, and Lao Zhou said, "Let's go?"
But the lame man said, "You two, what do you want to buy?"
"I'm already very grateful to the lame master for being able to see it!" Lao Zhou responded with a smile. Pu Jie said, "I listen to them. ”
Yu Yao immediately spoke, "Excuse me, I'm leaving!"
"Ah Fu, send it off. ”
After leaving the lame man's courtyard, Yu Yao remained silent. He didn't expect that he just wanted to see the top-level high-imitation color of the porcelain capital, but he stumbled into it and learned so much information.
Xingyao white glaze pot brought out, the lame man said very clearly. But about Uncle Zhong Yu, the lame man said it very vaguely, but Yu Yao listened carefully and loved to ponder, and he did understand at least two things.
