Chapter 148: The Copper Bowl

"Do you want to take the beggar's things?" Ye Qiushuang couldn't help but complain.

Huang Lao smiled, looked at Zhao Tianming, and didn't speak, this copper bowl that fell, I don't know how the beggar came from, it looks quaint, and the bowl body has an ancient pattern, it always feels like it's not an ordinary object.

He doesn't care if it's a beggar's thing or not, as long as it's a good thing, that's fine.

Zhao Tianming took it, in fact, when he first saw it, he also felt that it was an antique.

The color of this copper bowl is very yellow, and he guesses that it should be an object after the Ming and Qing dynasties. Bronze has a very important position in China, even if the iron-making technology is mature, the large use of iron tools still cannot completely replace the role of copper in life.

Just to identify the color of the bronze ware, we usually believe that the bronze ware before the Warring States period was all bronze ware of copper-tin-lead alloy. The greater the tin content, the lighter the gray color of copper.

The bronze ware from the Shang to the Warring States period is pure and pure, and there are very few grains of sand. Song imitation copperware, the alloy composition is copper, tin, lead and a small amount of zinc, the copper color is yellow and red.

The Ming and Qing pseudo-ware contains very little tin, while the lead and zinc components increase, and the copper color is yellow, but the Ming Dynasty pseudo-ware color is yellow and white, and the Qing Dynasty pseudo-ware color is yellow and translucent.

Therefore, to identify the authenticity of copper, it is also necessary to look at the quality of the copper exposed at the foot, mouth edge and bottom.

Zhao Tianming flipped over, saw the bottom of the copper bowl, and there was still a style, and he was shocked to see the words that had been slightly worn.

And Ye Qiushuang and the others also saw those words, and their hearts all jumped.

"Xuande Bronze?"

The bronze ware of the Ming and Qing dynasties was fundamentally different from the previous bronze ware, and brass was used at the beginning, which was different from bronze. The use of brass casting utensils, starting from Ming Xuande, hence the name of Xuande furnace.

During the Yongxuan period, the "Imperial Supervisor" was established in the palace.

In the Ming Dynasty, the imperial supervisor was a designated department for the royal court to make utensils. The same department was called the Office of Manufacturing in the Qing Dynasty.

Due to the Mongol rule of the Yuan Dynasty, the Han culture of the Song Dynasty was interrupted, but it was restored in the Ming Dynasty, especially in the early Ming Dynasty, and the tracing of the Han culture of the Song Dynasty was particularly strong. Therefore, in the early Ming Dynasty, Han culture began to recover vigorously, and incense culture was one of them.

After Xuande Zhu Zhanji ascended the throne, he felt that the ritual utensils used before were rough, and in order to carry forward the cultural cause of the Han Dynasty, he asked the "imperial supervisor" to make a new batch of Ding Yi, including incense burners, smokers, square tripods, incense bottles, and large tripods......

These were later called Xuande furnaces, or Xuantong.

And those Xuande bronzes, usually have the seal engraved Xuande year number, for example, "Ming Xuande year", "Xuande year", "Xuande year", "Xuande" and so on.

The one in front of you is known as the Xuande Year System.

"Isn't it?" Ye Qiushuang thought about something, and immediately rushed out and chased after those beggars.

"Hey, where are you going?" Zhao Tianming couldn't help but shout loudly at her back.

Ye Qiushuang didn't answer, that speed was really fast. She caught up with one of the beggars, kicked them, and snatched a copper bowl from their hand.

"You were scolding me just now? bastard!"

The beggar looked confused, when did he curse someone? Seeing this crazy woman robbing him of his belongings, he thought that she was going to smash people with a copper bowl.

Such a large piece of copper, smashing people is definitely immortal and sheds skin.

He didn't say a word, he didn't even bother to put down the cruel words, and almost ran away with a roll. An old bowl, thrown away, thrown away. Don't look at them just now, they seem to be very imposing, but no one wants to be targeted by the police.

Ye Qiushuang turned over the copper bowl and found that there were also four words "Xuande Year", and immediately smiled.

She didn't catch up for no reason, and I had the impression that there was a beggar holding a similar copper bowl that made her do it on purpose.

Zhao Tianming and the others looked at this scene, dumbfounded, and said secretly: Is this okay?

Ye Qiushuang beckoned Zhao Tianming and they left here first, and after everyone walked away, they compared the two copper bowls and found that they were a pair, almost identical.

"You also rob the beggars' things?" Lao Huang couldn't help but say.

This sentence is similar to the sentence that Ye Qiushuang scolded him before!

"Don't you take one too?"

"I'm picking it up, you're robbing it, how can you do it?" Lao Huang's eyes glared, and his gaze fell on the other copper bowl from time to time, a little hot.

Ye Qiushuang is not a fool, can he see that this old man is worried about her treasures?

"Don't beat it. ”

"Girl, these copper bowls are a pair, you can give them to me! "Lao Huang is really excited. It's rare to knock down a pair, get all of them, and brag about it in the future.

You know, this is the Xuande bronze ware of the Ming Dynasty! How precious it is, almost everyone who plays with antiques knows it. They are almost impossible to find in the folk, and there are many of them in museums.

"Jun" is also an industry word, antiques, antiques, it is elegant, always talking about buying and selling, it seems very tacky. Therefore, some people usually call it "turn", "let", "even" and so on.

Ye Qiushuang glanced at him with contempt: "Otherwise, you transfer it to me, I will definitely not let you suffer." ”

"How about 200,000?"

"Are you kidding? I'll give you 500,000 and you transfer it to me. Ye Qiushuang saw that this old guy still wanted to pick up the leak, so he looked down on this old guy even more, and his heart was too dark.

The women beside Lao Huang looked at the two copper bowls in astonishment, and one shouted 500,000 yuan? And people are still unwilling to sell them? Is this the legendary antique?

……

The two began to fight each other, and anyone could see that both of them wanted to swallow the two treasures for themselves.

Those beggars, if they knew that their begging belongings were so valuable, I am afraid that they would never want to be beggars again, right?

Zhao Tianming looked at it for a while, Xuande bronze ware, Xuande furnace is more famous, and bowls are really rare.

Xuande bronze ware opened a generation of bronze precedent, the ancient copper alloy technology of our country to the extreme, is unprecedented and unprecedented, its historical significance is far-reaching.

The charm of culture and art has infected generations of dignitaries, literati and scholars, from emperors and generals, businessmen, to ordinary people, all of whom have been impressed by the charm of Xuande bronzes. Xuande bronze is of excellent and fine copper, and a strange luster can be found in the dull place.

There is also a paragraph of literacy, its font structure is rigorous, neat and standardized, coherent, strong and powerful, the calligraphy of the time after the casting of the handwriting.

Those who know that period of history know that after these bronzes were cast, the kiln was closed and not cast, and Xuanzong died seven years later. Later, many of them were destroyed due to various reasons such as war.

Therefore, it is very rare and extremely valuable, and it can be described as one of the treasures in the art of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhao Tianming browsed the information from the ancient mirror, and said secretly: No wonder, I see!
