Zheng Anzhi waved his hand and said: "You have your own business, how can I let you join this person's organization, that organization, that organization all day long, that is not busy to death." Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info is just that I learned that half a month later, there will be a small private auction in the UK, there will be a firewood kiln, you help me to take a look, if it is genuine, then buy it. ”

"Are you talking about Zhou Shizong's firewood kiln?" Meng Zitao was very surprised.

Firewood kiln, so far a nominal term, has become a mystery through the ages, and no one can solve it. It is said that the firewood kiln was created for Chai Rong of the Later Zhou Dynasty, but there was no record at that time, even if there was not a word.

The earliest literature records can be found in Ouyang Xiu of the Song Dynasty, and from the Ming and Qing dynasties to the Republic of China, most of the documents are based on Cao Zhao's simple records and give full play to them.

For example, Liang Tongshu of the Qing Dynasty recorded in his "Examination of Ancient Kiln Ware": "The firewood kiln was burned by Chai Shizong in the Later Zhou Dynasty, and it was named after his surname Chai...... The firewood kiln is as blue as the sky, bright as a mirror, thin as paper, sound like a chime, moisturizing and delicate with fine lines. Legend has it that on the same day, he asked for porcelain, and Sejong approved it and said: "After the rain, the sky is clear, and the clouds are clear*** This color will be used for the future." 'Enough coarse loess, the fine color is different, and it is the crown of all kilns. ”

Although some people try to solve the mystery, in the end, because there is no physical comparison, most of them belong to one family's words and their own opinions.

So far, most researchers have denied its existence, but a few scholars believe that the firewood kiln is the fine blue and white porcelain of the Hutian kiln mentioned by the Song people, and this opinion has gradually been accepted by the general public. It is also believed that it may be a shadow celadon from the Central Plains. Those who think that it is a fine celadon of the Yue kiln generally cite the literature "Tan Hui" as the basis.

In addition, it is also said that the firewood kiln porcelain is the secret color porcelain, but because the secret color porcelain was unearthed in Famen Temple, this statement was ruled out.

Anyway, the perception of firewood kilns is still in confusion, and it is not certain whether there is a firewood kiln or not, because of this, Mencius Tao will be surprised, because since the master said so, he should be able to confirm the existence of firewood kilns, but why haven't he heard of it?

Zheng Anzhi said: "Some archaeological team members have found some special porcelain pieces before, which are in line with the records of firewood kilns in ancient books, and have made scientific identification, which can be affirmed in the period of the Five Dynasties, and are believed to be firewood kiln porcelain, but because the whole vessel has not been found, and there are few porcelain pieces, it has not been published." ”

As he spoke, he pointed to a small box on the table: "The thing is inside, you can take a look." ”

Meng Zitao opened the box, only to see that it was a piece of azure glazed porcelain, he took it in his hand and carefully observed, from the characteristics of this piece of porcelain, it conforms to the characteristics of the loess fetus, the tire is thin, the glaze is bright and fine, the azure color, full of large fine lines and other characteristics of the firewood kiln.

He gently tapped the porcelain piece again, and found that the percussion sound was like a chime, which showed that the carcass of the firewood kiln was firm, and the sintering temperature was relatively high, in addition, under the high-magnification glass, it could be seen that the glaze of the firewood kiln contained mineral particles such as red sapphire, and the glaze was smooth, without the orange peel like the Ru kiln, and it emitted a bright luster like a gemstone.

Under the 40x magnifying glass, there are no bubbles on the porcelain tiles, and 100 times the sporadic small bubbles can be seen, and the old ones have calcified on both sides and there are many colorless ones, indicating that in the long time of thousands of years, the open pieces are constantly generated and constantly changing.

In the end, Meng Zitao used his ability to make an identification, and the results also showed that this was very likely to be a real firewood kiln.

"How do you feel?" asked Zheng Anzhi with a smile.

Listening to Meng Zitao's detailed explanation of the results of his previous observations, he said happily: "Very good, I hope you can have good news when you arrive in England." ”

Meng Zitao smiled: "It should be." ”

"Then I'll transfer you 10 million dollars first, and if it's not enough, you can pay it first. ”

"That's enough money. ”

Zheng Anzhi shook his head: "If it is indeed firewood kiln porcelain, it is difficult to say." ”

Meng Zitao is right to think about it, now the firewood kiln porcelain has not found even a whole vessel, there is a way that rare things are expensive, not to mention this kind of precious porcelain, in RMB calculation, hundreds of millions are possible.

In the master sat here for a while, Meng Zitao also learned about some of the progress of recovering the return of cultural relics, in general, the situation is not optimistic, there are few successful cases, precious things can come back not much, "return" cultural relics in the middle of 95% of the general cultural relics in addition to the first, second and third level cultural relics, not precious cultural relics, precious things are placed in people's museums.

However, our cultural relics law stipulates that general cultural relics other than first, second, and third-class precious cultural relics can be circulated and exported, and they are sold.

In this case, Meng Zitao also had more than enough strength but was not enough, and thought angrily in his heart that when Xiao Likai had results, he must make a lot of money from foreigners, or exchange for those precious cultural relics that are not exported through legal channels is also a choice.

Meng Zitao went home to pack his luggage and received a call from the photo studio, saying that he asked them to watch the sample.

Meng Zitao thought to himself, in the end, the money given is more, and the efficiency of the photo studio is much higher, so he called He Wanyi and told him about it.

But just as Meng Zitao was about to go out to pick up He Wanyi, he received a call from Hu Yuanliang again, saying that his friend had won four flower god cups, he looked at it, but he was a little uncertain, and the process of his friend getting the flower god cup was a little bizarre, so he wanted to ask Meng Zitao to go over and have a look, and his friend was waiting in the store now.

The flower god cup is a complete set of seasonal wine utensils fired by the imperial kiln factory during the Kangxi period, each set has a total of twelve, representing different months, each month is equipped with a kind of monthly flowers, next to each inscription five words, seven words of poetry, the end of the "reward" word seal seal, has always been known as the Kangxi Dynasty porcelain treasures.

"Tao Ya" praised: "Kangxi December flower wine glass, a cup of flowers, blue and white, colorful, very thin texture, baht two self-light." …… If you want to make do with the December flowers, it will be difficult to be honest. The value of blue and white is not very much in the balance. ”

In the auction market, the Flower God Cup is undoubtedly the most popular among buyers, often fetching high prices, and at the current market value, four Flower God Cups are worth at least one million.

He Wanyi said on the phone just now that she still has some things, and it is estimated that she will have to wait a while before she can leave, and it doesn't matter if Meng Zitao waits, but now that he has something, he called He Wanyi again and said.

When Meng Zitao came to the antique shop, he saw Hu Yuanliang and the others were looking at the four cups on the table intently, and they were still discussing from time to time.

Seeing Meng Zitao come in, Hu Yuanliang got up and made an introduction, his friend Sun Qingzhe is also a young man in his thirties, very gentle, and seems to be a scholar. And his current position is also related to culture, he is a columnist, and he usually likes antiques and the like, but his level is only average.

Meng Zitao looked at the four Flower God Cups and looked really good, so he asked, "Mr. Sun, is it convenient to tell me the origin of these four Flower God Cups?"

Sun Qingzhe said: "Of course you can, in fact, I still feel a little apprehensive when I look back on it now, and I feel that I may have been fooled. ”

It turned out that yesterday afternoon, Sun Qingzhe saw a middle-aged man setting up a stall on the side of the road, with a cloth button on the ground and a small cup.

As soon as he saw this, Sun Qingzhe knew that this was a trick to guess the number of melons in the bowl, guess the number of melon seeds or raisins in the bowl, and guess the double amount of the winning bet. This is a scam that used to be very common, only here it has been replaced with a cup.

At that time, Sun Qingzhe thought disdainfully, this kind of old-fashioned deception is actually taken out to meet people, who will be fooled?

However, Sun Qingzhe looked around and found that only this middle-aged man was setting up a stall, and there was no one else around, which was a bit abnormal.

Generally speaking, this kind of scammer who deducts the bowl and guesses the number, there will definitely be a few accomplices next to him who deliberately bet money to guess the number in the bowl to win money for onlookers, and then the scammer's accomplices are instigating people who are itchy and greedy to play when they see the winnings.

For example, a deceived person sees 2 pieces in the bowl and bets 50 yuan, but when the cheater opens the bowl, it becomes 3, because the cheater still has one in his finger when he opens the bowl, and when he opens the bowl, he drops into the bowl as soon as he loosens his hand.

Then, the deceived person was unwilling to lose 50 and took out 100 to play again, this time he saw 2, he said it was 3, and when he bet money, he also checked the cheater's hand and turned out to be one after opening the bowl, and he lost again! It turned out that the cheater took one with his finger when opening the bowl.

Some people may think that this kind of fraud is too low-level, how can someone be fooled, but in fact, just like the constant telecom fraud, there will always be people who are deceived because of greed.

Getting back to the point, Sun Qingzhe saw that there were no liar accomplices around, and the place where the stall was set up was too remote, and it was not the time to get off work, so there were few people to watch at all, and even if someone passed by, they basically took a look and left, and no one tried it.

"Is this liar a fool?" Sun Qingzhe thought, and his heart also raised his curiosity, so he walked over to take a look, but when he saw the cup, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he subconsciously felt that this cup was extraordinary.

Seeing the "Kangxi Year of the Great Qing Dynasty" at the bottom, as well as the word "reward" on the cup, Sun Qingzhe almost exclaimed, this is the Flower God Cup!

Sun Qingzhe hurriedly walked over, chatted with the stall owner, and then found a reason to pick up the flower god cup, only to see that the wall of this cup was as thin as paper, the glaze was like jade, and the color was elegant. The outer wall is painted with blue and white magnolia flowers in February, and there is also the inscription next to the poem "Jin Yingcui calyx with spring cold, there are several kinds of yellow flowers", and the word "reward" is printed at the end.

This is exactly the same as the flower god cup in his memory, and it should be the real thing.

"Feng Shui is passed on in turns, and when you come to my house this year, it seems that I am going to pick up the leak!" Sun Qingzhe thought happily.
