Chapter 110: Painting the pot inside
Yang Bo laughed, chatting with strangers, but it made him feel very relaxed, "Many people say that. ”
The old man laughed, "Since you say that, it's probably because you're doing a good business?"
Yang Bo smiled and did not speak.
The mutton soup is rich and has a strong smell, but when you drink it, the soup melts, bringing a warm feeling.
Yang Bo often feels cold in his stomach because of his irregular diet in the past two years, and the mutton soup has a warmth, which dispels this cold at once.
The old man quickly drank a big bowl and said to Yang Bo: "Let's go, let's go have a cup of tea and go to the oil!"
"Good. Yang Bo answered, and the two walked towards the teahouse.
The teahouse was small, with no more than three or five tables, but there were all kinds of tea sets on the table, and the old man greeted the boss and began to boil water.
Taking advantage of this time, the old man took out a snuffbox from his pocket, put it on the table, and said to Yang Bo: "Young man, I have a snuffbox here, you can help me break the generation!"
Yang Bo nodded lightly and took it.
Snuff bottle is a snuff bottle, small and exquisite, can be held in one hand, the late Ming and early Qing dynasties came from the West, and soon in all walks of life is the fashion, and quickly integrated into the Chinese artistic style, the development of ingenuity of all kinds of snuff bottles.
The snuff box in front of me is made of amber, and the transparent outer wall shows a simple landscape painting, which looks like a god and elegant style.
Although it is painted from the outside, this snuff box is actually the craft of painting inside, that is, painting on the inner wall of the snuff box, which requires a very strong process.
The brilliance in front of Yang Bo's eyes converged, and it was quickly formed, and the aperture was formed, which was about the Jiaqing year!
Yang Bo was shocked, put down the snuff bottle, and looked at the old man, "The amber snuff bottle, the landscape simply outlined in the mural, looks like a freehand, very meaningful, this snuff bottle has a good origin." ”
The old man boiled water and was making tea, when he heard Yang Bo's words, he suddenly looked up at Yang Bo, shook it gently, lowered his head and continued to make tea, but said on his mouth: "Sketch in simple strokes, sometimes it will be more powerful, the young man has good eyesight, my surname is Gui, Gui Rongjiu." ”
"My surname is Yang, Yang Bo. ”
Yang Bo looked at Gui Rongjiu and saw that he was concentrating on the water cup, and the bright green tea flowed down like a waterfall and poured into the snow-white porcelain cup.
"Mr. Gui, I don't know if you want to make a move with this snuffbox?" Yang Bo asked.
Gui Rongjiu's movements stopped abruptly, and he looked up at Yang Bo again, "Oh, you are actually interested in this snuff bottle? You must know that most of the snuff bottles in China are beautiful in pictures, meticulous and delicate brushstrokes, and this freehand inner painting pot is not very popular!"
Yang Bo shook his head, "I like this inner painting pot with a classical Chinese freehand style, it looks very Chinese-style, or can you give it to me?"
Gui Rongjiu looked at Yang Bo with interest and laughed, "How much can you give that young man?"
Yang Bo thought slightly, "Twenty thousand." ”
Gui Rongjiu smiled lightly, and did not rush to refuse, but looked at Yang Bo, "Twenty thousand yuan is also a good price, young man, if you really buy it at this price, you will lose it!
"If you don't lose it, let's talk about it separately, why don't you sell it to me first?" Yang Bo looked at the other party.
Gui Rongjiu pointed at Yang Bohaha and laughed, "Young man, it seems that I underestimated you, I looked away, you just say it, do you see it?"
Yang Bo put his hand on the tabletop and tapped his index finger on the tabletop, "This snuff bottle is the Jiaqing year of the Qing Dynasty, and the age is not too early, why don't you sell it to me?"
Gui Rongjiu poured the tea and brought it to Yang Bo, "It seems that the sentence that a hero is a boy is right! The young man has extraordinary eyesight, and he can indeed eat this line of food, if you really want to buy it, give me 300,000 yuan!"
Yang Bo laughed, knowing that he couldn't pick up the leak, it was like a puzzle, both of them knew the answer to the riddle, but they still wondered if the other party would not be able to guess.
"Old Gui, is this Gan Huanwen's inner painting?" Yang Bo asked, his tone was also respectful, Gui Rongjiu had already confirmed his strength.
Gui Rongjiu nodded, "That's right, this is the earliest known inner painting pot!"
Yang Bo nodded lightly, the two of them have been playing dumb riddles, it is because Yang Bo saw the name Gan Huanwen on the inner wall of the snuff bottle, which has to mention the origin of the inner painting pot.
Legend has it that during the Jiaqing and Daoguang years, a small official from other places went to the capital to report on his work, stayed in the temple, and used a cigarette stick to scrape the remaining snuff in the snuff bottle because the snuff was almost finished. A monk in the temple saw that the cigarette stick left a lot of scratches on the inner wall of the pot, which had a sense of line in Chinese painting, so he expanded it into the technique of painting the pot inside.
However, according to later expert research, the inventor of the inner painting pot was not a monk, but a young painter in the south during the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, Gan Huanwen. Gan Huanwen poured small steel balls, quartz sand and a small amount of water into the pot and shook it, grinding the inner wall into fine lines to make the pigment easy to adhere, and then dipped the color with a bamboo pen with a curved hook to paint on the inner wall in reverse, thus forming the technique of inner painting.
The reason why Yang Bo wanted to buy it was because he guessed that this in-painted snuff bottle was likely to be the earliest one, but he didn't expect that Gui Rongjiu would already know about it.
Because of this matter, Gui Rongjiu's eyes were full of appreciation when he looked at Yang Bo, and the two chatted about snuff bottles, which was quite speculative.
When Yang Bo received Luo Yaohua's call, it was already nine o'clock in the evening, and he was still chatting with Gui Rongjiu.
Yang Bo said where he was, and Luo Yaohua quickly rushed over.
After Luo Yaohua sat down, he was stunned and looked at Gui Rongjiu with wide eyes, "You are Teacher Gui?"
Gui Rongjiu looked at Luo Yaohua and nodded lightly.
Luo Yaohua was a little excited, stood up, and shook hands with the other party, "Hello Mr. Gui, I have been watching the "Treasure Hunt" program since it was launched. ”
Gui Rongjiu laughed, "I really didn't expect to meet a little fan here." ”
Yang Bo was a little puzzled, he didn't understand what the other party was talking about, because he didn't watch TV.
Luo Yaohua also saw the confusion on Yang Bo's face, and explained, "In June this year, CCTV launched a treasure appreciation program, called "Treasure Hunting", if you don't watch TV, you may not know very well. ”
Yang Bo said "oh", he really didn't know about this matter, but when he thought of the program held by CCTV, Gui Rongjiu could participate, and he must be an extremely powerful figure.
"I'm old, Yang Bo is deeply hidden!" Gui Rongjiu shifted the topic to Yang Bo.
