Just thinking about it, the mobile phone rang again, and it was Xie Zhihao calling, "I'm sorry Boss Yu, the picture was sent by mistake!

"You came to Jiangzhou for this thing?"

"No, I came to Jiangzhou mainly to meet a friend and talk about something. I only received a photo of this thing last night. ”

"Boss Xie has a wide range of roads, and he also has friends in Jiangzhou. ”

"It's not from Jiangzhou, it's this friend who is also coming to Jiangzhou, and it just so happens that I'm in the mainland again. Xie Zhihao coughed dryly, "The boss of the two of us screamed, it's so uncomfortable, I'm a little older than you, you call me Lao Xie, I call you Xiaoyu, how about it?"

"Okay, Lao Xie, then you don't have to send it, I'll invite you to dinner at noon. ”

Now that he has met, he has come to Jiangzhou again, and he can't say that he can't do all the friendship of the landlord. This person has good eyesight, and he is doing this business on Hong Kong Island, and he has more friends and easier to walk.

However, the things on the photos that Xie Zhihao didn't send over, obviously wanted Yu Yao to help with the palms, and now I don't know who the owner is, so I can't say anything rashly for the time being, so it's better to talk in person.

At noon, Yu Yao booked a private room in Jiang Shangyue and invited Xie Zhihao to dinner alone.

"That's right, the friend who went to Bikong Temple with me yesterday is from Yangcheng, and he was originally going to come to Jiangzhou with me, but he went back in a hurry last night. This photo and the contact information of the owner of the goods were sent to me by him, and the business was originally to be negotiated by him, but now he has become an intermediary. ”

Xie Zhihao said, holding his mobile phone, and called up a set of photos, "Your eyesight is amazing to me on the stall in the porcelain capital!"

"I see. You came to meet a friend from out of town. And your friend who was incense with you is coming to discuss a business, and you two are going to come together, and when he is in a hurry, you will take the business. Yu Yao smiled, "How good it would be if he didn't have to go back to Yangcheng in a hurry! ”

"I won't let you slap your eyes in vain!" Xie Zhihao pushed his glasses and laughed.

"I didn't mean that. I'm afraid that I know the owner of the goods here in Jiangzhou, and if I do, it may not be convenient to meet. ”

"So let's take a look at the photos first!"

Yu Yao didn't speak anymore and looked at the photo.

This is a white porcelain statue of Bodhidharma.

"Dehua kiln?" Yu Yao opened his mouth when he saw the first photo.

"That's right, I mainly study the official kilns of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and there is really no research on this Dehua kiln, but I can't waste food because of choking. I didn't expect God to help me too, you are in Jiangzhou!"

Dehua kiln is a folk kiln, which has existed since the Song Dynasty, but it was very famous at that time. After the Ming Dynasty, there was a huge development, the most important reason is that the Ming Dynasty Dehua kiln appeared a unique white porcelain Buddha statue.

The white porcelain Buddha statues in Dehua kiln are different from ordinary porcelain, because they mainly rely on carvers rather than painters. The porcelain sculpture is exquisite, and the fusion of glaze and porcelain is also very strong, so it reflects a strong sense of sculpture.

There are more than a dozen photos provided by Xie Zhihao, including the front, the back, various details, and close-ups.

This white porcelain statue of Bodhidharma shows Bodhidharma crossing the river with a reed. Bodhidharma's expression is vivid, his eyes are blazing, his ears are long and drooping, and he stands barefoot on a branch of reeds, surrounded by waves. The combination of the base and the waves is natural, but not dignified.

Bodhidharma's clothing patterns are also depicted in place, the lines are simple but full of changes, smooth flipping, natural and powerful.

Just looking at the pictures, there is also a sense of expressiveness.

Yu Yao nodded slightly, and finally looked at the style.

The style is located at the bottom of the back, which is a gourd-shaped seal with a small three-character seal inside:

He Chaozong!

"He Chaozong?" Yu Yao looked at Xie Zhihao, "Your friend is generous enough, such a big deal, just let it go to you?"

Xie Zhihao's small eyes flashed, "You can't say this clearly." I'm careful, isn't there still your help!"

Yu Yao's meaning naturally implies that your friend doesn't want to trick you, right?

Sometimes the term friend is a confidant, and sometimes it is just a title.

Xie Zhihao is also an understanding person, and he responded vaguely, meaning that he was not defenseless.

Don't blame Yu Yao for thinking so. He didn't see the real thing, and he couldn't conclude it for the time being, just looking at the photos, but He Chaozong's white porcelain Buddha statue is genuine, and if you bring one out, it may exceed 10 million.

He Chaozong lived in the Ming Dynasty from Jiajing to Wanli, and his craft was a primary school, and he was born in Dehua. Dehua not only has many porcelain kilns, but also has the inheritance of clay sculpture and wood carving art.

He Chaozong's porcelain sculpture works absorb the characteristics of clay sculpture and wood carving art, and at the same time, he is familiar with the characteristics of porcelain clay, and also masters the technology of firing porcelain, completing a milestone creation.

When He Chaozong was young and learning art, he once followed his predecessors to make clay Buddha statues for the temple, and he was particularly good at this. Therefore, He Chaozong's main works are white porcelain Buddha statues, among which the Bodhidharma statues and Guanyin statues are the most representative.

It can be said that the great development of Dehua kiln in the Ming Dynasty, He Chaozong played an irreplaceable role. It is not an exaggeration to call it the first person to make a Chinese porcelain Buddha statue.

His white porcelain Buddha statue is not only excellent in sculpture and artistic, but also "white" is unique.

First of all, he is very particular about the choice of porcelain clay, using a kind of soil near Dehua Chengguan, called "Guanyinqi", but also after many times of washing and refining and even aging and decay; at the same time, the glaze modulation and glazing are also very particular, after firing, the white is slightly yellow, similar to "ivory white".

This kind of "white", known as "Chinese white" overseas, has since become the classic inheritance of Dehua kiln; although it is difficult for later generations to reach the level of He Chaozong, it is also approximate.

He Chaozong, the sect of the grandmaster.

"Have a glance?" Xie Zhihao asked softly when he saw Yu Yao finish reading.

"If you just look at the photos, you can't feel a lot of things, and you can't say for sure. But at least from the overall shape, there is indeed a glance!" Yu Yao took advantage of the situation and lit a cigarette, "If you can have such a thing, you don't want to take a big shot, I want to make a private ·····"

Xie Zhihao said with a smile, "It's relatively complicated to go through the auction. And now many people go to auctions, in fact, to wash gold. ”

Yu Yao groaned.

"How about it, Brother Xiaoyu, you help me palm my eyes, and the commission is indispensable. ”

"You haven't told me who the owner is?"

"Of course you'll have to tell you! ”

"I promised you, if this person is inconvenient to meet, won't you have to regret it?"

"Of course I understand the rules! Let me tell you first, if you know each other, and then look at the depths, you really don't think it's okay, then naturally you can't go to meet. ”

Of course, Yu Yao also wanted to see such a good thing with his own eyes, "Okay! ”
