"You panting and panting, this sentence should come up and say. Yu Yao smiled, "If that's the case, I'll go, I won't cause you trouble, right?"

"No, there won't be a formation at the entrance, it's just a mechanism, I think, it should be a test of the mind. It's just that I was injured at the time, and I definitely can't crack it easily, so I hurried back. ”

"What the hell does it look like?"

"In the midst of the barren grass there is a stone tablet, and in front of the stone tablet is a square bluestone. This bluestone is full of cracks, and it doesn't look shallow, because weeds also grow in the soil. ”

"The stele?"

"Yes, it's not high, it's round and square-bottomed. Xiao Ying got up and picked up the notes and pencils placed on the hotel table, "It's not too late, I'll draw for you first." ”

After Xiao Ying drew it, he wrote eight words on the tombstone, a total of two lines, from right to left, one line of four characters:

Not nostalgia, Puming Guangde.

"Is this carved on the tombstone?" asked Yu Yao. This is a bit strange, because the general inscriptions are written vertically in columns, but this is written horizontally.

And these eight words, taken literally, roughly mean: there is no mind of who surpasses whom, but to spread and carry forward the light and virtue.

"Yes, that's the order. Xiao Ying said, and drew eight small circles on the base of the tombstone, also two lines, "I can only draw it in general, these eight protrusions have different shapes, they are generally round, and they seem to be able to be pressed down." ”

"I understand, these eight bumps correspond to eight characters, and only when you press them right, can you unlock the mechanism. ”

"You mean press in order?"

"Not necessarily. It may be to press all eight, or it may be one out of eight, and two out of eight······ There are all kinds of possibilities, but we have to look at it. Yu Yao groaned, "These eight words, I'm afraid they are not as simple as the literal meaning. ”

"Okay, then rest first and recharge your energy. ”

Then, Xiao Ying left Yu Yao's room, and the two rested separately.

The next day, Yu Yao didn't bother Xiao Ying, and walked around Jingliang County, during which he accidentally discovered a small antique market.

This cultural market is in a courtyard on the side of a small street, which looks like it was supposed to be a small factory, but now it is full of stalls, and several factories are locked, and I heard that they have been rented as warehouses.

Yu Yao walked in and walked around, mostly ordinary gadgets. However, as Yu Yao walked, he still found a blue and white jade pot spring vase, painted with fish algae patterns.

The hair color of this blue and white is okay, a little blue, but the glaze is blue and yellow, and the blue and white hair color is a little stuffy. At the same time, the fetal quality is loose, and it can be seen by looking at the bottom of the tire, not porcelain, sand bottom.

Yu Yao squatted in front of the stall, held it in his hand, and asked the price casually, the stall owner was an old man, and his front teeth were gone, "This is Yuan Qinghua!"

At this time, there was a man and a woman next to two onlookers, looking almost forty years old, like husband and wife, when they heard the old man say "Yuan Qinghua", the two couldn't help but look at each other, they both sneered, and the woman couldn't help muttering, "It turns out that Yuan Qinghua is so easy to touch!"

Yu Yaozi ignored them, and said to the old man, "I asked you what the price was, but I didn't ask you anything." ”

The old man was stunned for a moment, "Hey, young man, if you really know how to do it, I said that you should have a number, think about it first." ”

The old man spoke with a thick local accent, but he could barely understand it.

"I've got a number, you can make a quote. Yu Yao said again.

At this time, the two of them purely acted as spectators, looking at each other at the same time, with some curiosity on their faces, but more of a look of watching jokes.

"Four hundred thousand. The old man held out four fingers.

"It's high. Yu Yao immediately put down the jade pot spring bottle and got up, "This bottle is not worth this number." ”

The stall owner pursed his teeth, and because he heard that Yu Yao was a foreigner, he actually said directly, "I think you can't understand it, right?"

"The fine blue and white of the Yuxi kiln in the Yuan Dynasty is worth the number you said. This one is not a masterpiece. ”

At this time, the expressions of the two onlookers changed suddenly, and the man couldn't help blurting out, "So that's the case!"

Yuan Qinghua has both broad and narrow concepts. Most people only recognize the narrow concept, which is the positive type of Yuan blue and white burned from Su Ma from cobalt material.

But in a broad sense, the scope of Yuan Qinghua is very large.

Among them, there is a variety that has not been introduced before, that is, "Yunqinghua", which is mainly produced in Yuxi folk kiln.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, blue and white porcelain with Su Ma Liqing as the cobalt material was born, becoming the iconic peak of porcelain history. But at the same time, in some places in Yunnan, a kind of blue and white ore has also been mined, the color is very good, and some are even close to Su Ma Liqing, and many nearby kilns use this mineral material to burn blue and white ware.

However, the level of local mining and material selection is limited, and the processing level of the kiln is also limited, coupled with the rough tire quality, the glaze process is relatively backward, so the blue and white ware fired out is sometimes good and bad, and at the same time, because the glaze color is not white enough, it will also affect the blue and white color.

This is the "cloud blue flower" at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty. Because of various level problems, as Yu Yao said, the price has not been able to go up.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the "cloud blue and white flowers" were regarded as regional products, and the circulation at that time was not strong, and there were not many relevant historical materials; it was not until the seventies of the last century that a tomb was unearthed in Yunnan and a typical blue and white ware was found, and then it was gradually recognized.

Later, in the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty, Su Ma was out of file, and the color of other domestic materials used in the imperial kiln factory could not be compared with it, and new mineral materials were also being found. At this time, a new mine was discovered in Chuxiong, Yunnan, and the new ore material mined was actually very close to the ore used in the Yuxi kiln in the Yuan Dynasty.

After selecting some new ore for trial firing, the potters of the Imperial Kiln Factory found that the green material had a good color, and from then on, they began to accept the new material and transport it to the Imperial Kiln Factory.

This new mineral blue and white material is commemoratively called "Zhu Ming material".

After the Manchu Qing Dynasty destroyed the Ming Dynasty, "Zhu Ming Material" was changed to "Zhu Ming Material".

Previously, due to the lack of local professional and technical personnel, limited mining and beneficiation technology, and the use of this new mineral material by the Imperial Kiln Factory was not very sophisticated, there have been no amazing products.

Until the Kangxi period, after the pacification of the three times, the Imperial Kiln Factory sent a special person to Yunnan to supervise the mine, and at the same time optimized the purification and treatment process, repeated research, and finally burned the only "Cui Mao Blue" that can compete with Su Ma Liqing!

The pearl material is the most advanced and typical representative of Kangxi blue and white porcelain hair color, and is widely respected in the industry. And its predecessor, or origin, is the Yuxi kiln "Yunqinghua".

After Yu Yao finished speaking, the old man's stall owner looked up at him, "Since you said it's high, let's return the price." ”
