Chapter 710: What Happened in the Early Years
Zheng Anzhi looked at this pair of Jun porcelain three-legged wash, and his eyes were full of admiration and love: "The diameter of this kind of three-legged wash is generally in the early 20s, and the diameter of this is as high as more than 40 centimeters, I have only encountered it once before, but unfortunately the three-legged wash was damaged by accident, and it is a pity to think about it!"
It turned out that more than 20 years ago, Zheng Anzhi went on a business trip to a city in the west, and went to the local area after work. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Zheng Anzhi was already in a high position at that time, and when he went out, he was accompanied by a special person, knowing that Zheng Anzhi was very interested in ancient porcelain, and took him to a family.
When he got there, he said what he meant, and the head of the household took out a three-legged wash, which was about the same size as Meng Zitao's pair.
Zheng Anzhi was very excited when he saw this three-legged wash, but he was also an old man in the end, he was silent on the surface, just watching silently, and casually asked about the origin of the thing.
The head of the household said that this thing was given to their family by Emperor Xianfeng at the beginning, and it has been passed down from generation to generation.
Zheng Anzhi is noncommittal, who knows if something is rewarded?
After a while, the head of the household asked a little impatiently, "How much do you think this pot is worth?"
Zheng Anzhi heard the layman's words asked by the head of the household, and knew that the head of the household should not know much about things, so he put the initiative in his own hands and asked, "How much do you want to sell?"
The head of the household said, "You are a big man, and I don't want your money, as long as you can let us live in the building." ”
"You want a house?"
"Yes, I want a house, or I'd rather keep it myself. The head of the household said categorically.
This is not difficult for Zheng Anzhi, he pondered for a while, and then agreed.
However, the house was not so easy to handle, and it took two days before they completed the transaction.
Because the three-legged wash is related to his own house, the head of the household does not dare to take it out, and in the end, the transaction is completed at the head of the household.
Zheng Anzhi took the three-legged wash and was ready to go back, but as soon as he came out of the house, an accident happened, a young man hit him hard, and directly knocked the box containing the three-legged wash out of the distance, the lid was broken, and the three-legged wash inside was directly broken into countless pieces and scattered all over the ground.
Zheng Anzhi was distressed when he saw that it was broken, and hurriedly went to tie the pieces, and the young man had already taken the opportunity to escape.
However, the young man was still found afterwards, and after listening to his explanation, he was actually instructed by someone, and he continued to understand and learned that there was an antique dealer from Xiangjiang who had already taken a fancy to this three-legged wash, but he did not buy it because of the conditions of the head of the household.
When he learned that the three-legged wash was bought by Zheng Anzhi, he thought of this idea, and he himself had already returned to Xiangjiang in advance and went abroad.
After talking about the cause and effect of the incident, Zheng Anzhi said angrily: "The situation at that time was a bit special, if it were now, even if he ran to the ends of the earth, I would arrest him back!"
Meng Zitao also said angrily: "This kind of person is too hateful, if I encounter it in the future, I will definitely give you old anger!"
Zheng Anzhi waved his hand: "Forget it, more than 20 years have passed, who knows if he is still alive, and he no longer knows what he looks like, so he can only stop it." ”
At this time, the middle-aged man said, "Old Zheng, you should repair that three-legged wash, right?"
"The repair is repaired, but because it is too badly broken, the impact is also very large. ”
Thinking of this, Zheng Anzhi was a little distressed, and then said with relief: "I always thought that the three-legged wash was unique, and I will never see the same complete vessel in the future, but I didn't expect to have such a surprise today, and the workmanship of this three-legged wash is better than mine." ”
Meng Zitao looked at the master's tireless playfulness and said with a smile: "Master, why don't you put this pair of three-legged washes here?"
Zheng Anzhi smiled and shook his head: "Just let me study it for a few days." ”
"Okay. ”
After discussing the pair of three-legged washes for a while, Zheng Anzhi remembered that he had not yet introduced the two sides.
The middle-aged man's name is Lu Ye, a businessman, and he is also very interested in antiques, because most of the business is overseas, and he has been buying all kinds of antiques overseas, mainly miscellaneous. The news of the firewood kiln porcelain was brought by him.
Lu Ye introduced the situation of the firewood kiln porcelain: "I got the news in advance because I frequented the auction house and was their regular customer, but the appraisal conclusion over there said that the porcelain was a Jun kiln. But I don't think it's right, some features don't look like Jun kilns, but like firewood kilns. ”
At this time, Meng Zitao asked, "Mr. Zhang, are there any photos of the lots?"
Lu Ye shook his head: "No, it was a relatively private auction, I was able to see the real thing in advance, it was already a friend's relationship, and it was impossible to take pictures." And I can't even use a magnifying glass, and I can't see the details. ”
"Can't even use a magnifying glass?" Meng Zitao felt a little unreliable.
Lu Ye said: "In fact, it is similar to our domestic black market auctions, although it can be identified by customers, but the means are limited. It's just that his things have some origins, and there is a chance to pick up leaks, so they are still very popular. Well, let me give you a description of what that porcelain looks like. ”
After listening to Lu Ye's description, Meng Zitao felt that the porcelain was very similar to Jun porcelain, and it was similar to the firewood kiln, and if he didn't see the real thing, he couldn't figure out whether it was true or false.
Speaking of which, the Northern Song Dynasty Jun kiln has a very close relationship with the Later Zhou Chai kiln. Legend has it that during the Northern Song Dynasty, the firewood kiln was burned, and the firewood kiln craftsmen tended to burn porcelain.
Due to the complexity of the process of firing the "firewood kiln", the cost of firing is too large. In order to make a living, the craftsmen of the "firewood kiln" went to the complex and simplified, and only used compound glaze and ordinary techniques to fire. It greatly saves the cost and time of firing.
Because it was a monochrome glaze at that time, it was all over the world. Therefore, the multi-color glazed porcelain fired by "Jun kiln" was very popular as soon as it entered the market. After continuous innovation of the craftsmen, the color of "Jun kiln" is more gorgeous and charming, and since then, the reputation of "Jun kiln" has been greatly shaken.
This statement was once very recognized, but in fact, the Jun kiln began in the Tang Dynasty, flourished in the Song Dynasty, and developed into a unique Jun kiln system in the Jin and Yuan dynasties.
But it is not right to say that there is no relationship between the two kilns of firewood and Jun, because the two do have a relationship of absorption and integration. On the one hand, Yang Zhai is a famous kiln in the country at that time, and has a very solid foundation for firing; on the other hand, the firewood kiln craftsmen tend to Yangzhai, and will apply the firing technology and technology of the firewood kiln to the Jun kiln, so as to further improve the firing level of the Jun kiln, which is also where the essence of the firewood porcelain of the Jun porcelain absorbs the "rain over the sky".
Therefore, it can be said that the firewood kiln of the Later Zhou Dynasty has been integrated into the Jun kiln, and the Jun kiln has entered the Song Dynasty on behalf of the firewood kiln, and further carried forward in the Yuan Dynasty.
But because of this, the Jun kiln that has just begun to fuse must have similarities with the firewood kiln, so it is also difficult to identify them, especially when there is no physical object now.
Because of security issues, although he wanted to help, Meng Zitao couldn't go abroad now, so he was more than willing to do this matter.
Zheng Anzhi said: "Zitao can't go abroad now, I will arrange for Xiaowei to go with you, and then you can act at the opportunity." ”
Lu Ye nodded and said, "Okay." ”
…………
The next day, Meng Zitao set off for Pingzhou, this time he took He Wanyi with him, firstly, because he was not worried about her, and secondly, he also wanted to make up for the regret of not being able to go abroad.
The two of them first took a plane to Yangcheng to meet Shu Ze, and Shu Ze also brought Sima Yuelan with him to be He Wanyi's companion.
Shu Ze said: "Let's go to my friend's place for an autumn breeze first, and then go to Pingzhou, you see it's okay, right?"
Meng Zitao smiled: "We listen to your arrangement, as long as we can play well." ”
"Alright, let's go. ”
Shu Ze waved his hand, took everyone into a business car, and set off to the outskirts of Yangcheng.
There was a lot of laughter and laughter along the way, and soon, everyone came to a villa area with beautiful mountains and rivers.
The business car stopped at the door of a villa, and when everyone got out of the car, they saw a fat man of more than 200 pounds coming up.
Shu Ze smiled and hugged the fat man: "I said fat man, why are you getting fatter and fatter, I'm really worried that you will die in bed one day." ”
The fat man's name is Xun Suo, and he laughed and scolded: "Go, there is nothing good to say!"
"Don't you keep saying that when the peony flower dies, it's also romantic to be a ghost. Shu Ze joked with a smile again.
Xun Suo patted his stomach and said with emotion: "That's when I'm young, now I'm old, and I'm a little powerless. ”
He Wanyi asked in a low voice when he heard this, "What did he say?" ”
Meng Zitao snickered and said the original meaning, making her blush and take a sip.
Then, Shu Ze introduced: "Let me introduce you, this is my good buddy Meng Zitao." ”
Xun Suo was very enthusiastic, and went up to hug Meng Zitao: "Aze's brother is also my brother, and in Yangcheng, even if you come to me, I will definitely arrange medical food, housing and transportation." ”
Meng Zitao also smiled and said a few polite words.
After introducing each other, Xun Suo took everyone into the villa, and after some observation, he came to the living room.
Shu Ze looked around, saw an ornament in a corner of the living room, and laughed again: "I said fatty, why did you put this thing out in a grand manner?"
Everyone looked in the direction Shu Ze pointed, and Meng Zitao saw that there was something that looked like a woman's buttocks on the long table, and after He Wanyi and Sima Yuelan saw it, they both secretly scolded "pervert".
Xun Suo laughed and said, "I see that you just don't know it, do you think it's carved out?"
"Isn't it?" Shu Ze walked over with some curiosity.
"Of course not, this is actually a sea coconut unique to Seychelles, and it was a souvenir I brought back when I traveled there some time ago." ”
"Really?" Shu Ze was a little skeptical, took out his mobile phone and checked it, but he didn't expect this to be the case.
