Chapter 41: Shadow Blue

"I'll get in touch later, aren't we going to visit the market tomorrow······?"

Before Lao Huang finished speaking, he was interrupted by Yu Yao and Lao Zhou in unison:

"Lu Ji porcelain shop?"

Then, Pu Jie also ran to the door, "Lu Ji porcelain shop?"

"Is Lu Ji Porcelain Company famous?" Lao Huang looked surprised, "It seems that you all know it." ”

"Come on, come on, take a look at the fist products of Lu Ji Porcelain Company. Pu Jie led Lao Huang into the room.

Lao Huang entered the room with a puzzled face, and it wasn't until he took a closer look at this pastel olive vase that he suddenly realized, "It turns out that you were killed in this Lu Ji porcelain shop······ The latter word didn't come out, but he smiled awkwardly, "It seems that this Lu Ji porcelain is unreliable!"

Although Lao Huang can't be completely sure of the authenticity, Hong Xianci is pitiful after all, and coupled with Pu Jie's tone, he also knows that he was slaughtered.

"It's unreliable, since someone introduced me, you call to make an appointment, and I'll meet this Boss Lu tomorrow. Yu Yao said.

Lao Huang nodded, "Okay, as long as you accompany me, I have the bottom in my heart." ”

In the evening, Yu Yao was the east, and invited the four of them to rub together in a big restaurant in the porcelain capital, and they all rested early.

At four o'clock in the second year, the four of them got up. On Mondays, there is a ghost market in the Chenguang Road antique market, which usually opens at four o'clock.

The hotel is near the market and the four walked there. First ate a bowl of beef offal noodles in the breakfast shop on the street, and then came to the front of the tall archway of the Chenguang Road antique market.

Below the archway is the entrance to the market, and there are stalls on both sides of a long street. There is more than one street in the market, but it is not wide.

There was silence all around, but the market was already lit up. There are lights from street lamps, lights from advertising light boxes, and lights from simple table lamps set up on stalls. Most of the people who visit the stalls also have a flashlight.

"Good guys! Ghost markets and ghost markets, they used to be all black and blind, but now they are flashing and shining. Lao Zhou sighed.

Although these lights do not illuminate the market, the transaction is certainly not in the dark and dark to ask questions over and over again.

"Keep pace with the times!" Old Huang said, "The ghost market in the past, it was really unsightly, but now it is just a trading environment!"

The origin of the word ghost market is different, in short, it is not the same as the light.

In this, there are things of unknown origin, such as ghost goods from tomb robbers, and thieves from stolen goods, so I chose to trade when it was not dawn, and after the incident, I broke up in two, and no one knew anyone.

In addition, at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, there were many royal and noble gentlemen in the capital, who took the good things of the family out to sell for money;

These also don't want people to see the true face, which is the most suitable in the ghost market.

Today, there are not so many things to do in the ghost market, it is basically an antique market that opens in advance, borrowing the name of the ghost market and the environment that is not bright, there is just a gimmick.

However, there are also profiteers who take the opportunity to sell fakes and take advantage of the opportunity to deceive, because the light is not as bright as the sun, and it is not very bright.

The ghost market on Chenguang Road is not only open in the early hours of the morning, but will continue until almost noon. Most of the day on Mondays is the busiest in the market. Some stall owners will save up for a week's worth of goods and wait for the day to pour them.

There are players, vendors, and students from the Ceramics Academy. There are even tourists who come to play, although they don't know anything about it, and they all join in the fun.

The four of them walked into the ghost market, and the time was already half past four. The weather was very cold, Lao Zhou and Lao Huang were old, and their firepower was insufficient, so they rubbed their faces with their hands from time to time.

The horns of the tricycles hauling goods, the voices of people coming and going, and the steaming heat of the morning cars flowing under the street lamps all make this ghost market not "ghost" at all.

There is also a stall on the street that specializes in selling flashlights, and the four of them didn't have one before, so they bought one each.

"It's hilarious enough. Pu Jie said casually when he paid.

"It's not as good as before, and the antique market has been sluggish in recent years. But the stall owner in his twenties pouted and said, "No way, you listen, even the tourists who visit the lights are muttering to each other: Don't believe that there is something real in the stall!"

Yu Yao smiled, "There are so many sources, I still don't believe that there is really no one!"

"That's it. The stall owner actually gave a thumbs up, "As soon as you hear this, you know that you are an expert." ”

The four of them walked around slowly. However, even after visiting a few stalls, Yu Yao didn't find anything that fit his eyes.

It wasn't until I walked for most of the street that I found a small porcelain bowl with a shadow blue on the stall of a man with a Mediterranean hairstyle, which looked like something from the Southern Song Dynasty.

Yingqing, there are also people called Yingqing, no matter which one it is, it is not difficult to see that it is a little shiny.

Shadow celadon, in the Song Dynasty, was produced by Raozhou kiln. Raozhou kiln, the kiln site is actually in the porcelain capital.

The Fuliang Porcelain Bureau of the Yuan Dynasty and the Imperial Kiln Factory of the Ming and Qing Dynasties are familiar to many people. But in fact, the porcelain capital has long had a kiln mouth, which can be roughly traced back to the Eastern Han Dynasty, but it is all coarse porcelain;

In the Song Dynasty, the porcelain of China was mainly celadon and white porcelain; This kind of bluish white, with a slight bluish.

Shadow celadon also has a characteristic, that is, the carcass is very dense and thin. This is related to the production of kaolin in porcelain, such a high-quality porcelain clay, which can be described as unique in China. "Heavenly Creations" commented that the shadow celadon is "plain muscle and jade bone".

Shadow celadon was produced in large quantities throughout the Song Dynasty. And many porcelain players know that the appearance of shadow celadon directly "sniped" another thing in ancient China, causing its industry to stagnate.

This kind of thing is glass.

The history of glass in China is actually very early, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and the Han and Tang Dynasties were also very prosperous. If you visit the museum and see glassware, you will find that there are glass bottles and glasses at those times, which are not much worse than modern craftsmanship.

But why was the Song Dynasty discontinued? It was because a large number of dense and light shadow celadon appeared.

It can be roughly compared, first of all, porcelain is relatively tough compared to glass, and it is not so easy to fry and break. Moreover, the heat conduction of glass is stronger than that of porcelain, and when you pour a cup of hot tea, the porcelain is still warm when the glass cup is hot. Finally, for very practical reasons, the cost of shadow celadon is lower than that of glass.

In this way, in the Song Dynasty, the shadow celadon sent the glassware to the "guillotine". The Song Dynasty was broken, and the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties were not continued. Although some were produced in the Qing Dynasty, they were not practical tools, and mainly colored glaze for ornamental use.

Only when the yield is large can this effect be achieved. However, the so-called large output was only at that time, and there was not much left of the shadow celadon of the Raozhou kiln in the Southern Song Dynasty that could be completely transmitted to today.

This small bowl on the stall, if it is genuine in the Southern Song Dynasty, the value will not be low.

Yu Yao stretched out his hand and grabbed it, and as soon as he started to take a closer look, the stall owner with a Mediterranean hairstyle spoke, "Look at it, let's talk about it first, it's not noisy, this is reserved for Brother Zhong, and he can't go out if he can't look at it." ”
