Chapter 175: The Feeling of Passing Ten Billion

"When I was studying business that year, no one gave out books, no one gave special classes, and it was all up to me. The shopkeeper has to stand aside and listen to the business, antiques, and customers chatting and talking. ”

Speaking of this, the old man raised his left hand and quipped: "Once I lit a fire and a cigarette for the old-timers, I was fascinated by the listening, the whole matchbox was on fire, and I didn't dare to throw it when my fingers were burned, and until today my left thumb is still missing half a piece of meat, which is unforgettable!"

Lu Chenglong, who was next to him, stood up, filled the old man with tea, and said with a smile: "I also heard that in order to test his eyesight, the master often gathered everyone together, took down a cultural relic from the shelf, and asked everyone to write the name of the era to him." If you are wrong, you will say: You have eaten for nothing!

The three of them laughed, Geng Lao remembered the past, and said with deep feelings: "Suffering losses is a blessing, don't underestimate dirty work and tiring work, pay attention everywhere is learning." ”

"The inventory and settlement of goods in the store, the change of accounts and article numbers are all good opportunities to get in touch with familiar cultural relics. In particular, cleaning, wiping cultural relics, moving, and experiencing the feel of various cultural relics. Now an official kiln is casually hundreds of millions, think about the thousands of treasures in the treasury back then......"

Su Yuan smiled and said nothing, the older generation identified everyone as hard and studious on the one hand, and they should be grateful for meeting a good time. A large number of cultural relics of the liberation of the Republic of China flowed into the people, and the treasures that the emperor and the prince could play with in the past had the opportunity to see, which can be called the golden age.

Including Ma Weidu, who opened the first private museum, he has achieved his current achievements because of the good times, and of course personal efforts are also essential.

"If you want to talk about your master, you can definitely call it a porcelain master!" Geng Lao Zhengse said: "During the work in the Palace Museum, once Mr. Sun put the official kiln of the Song Dynasty, the Ge kiln, the Ru kiln porcelain and many imitations of the Ming and Qing dynasties together, he turned his back, others disrupted the order, and then he closed his eyes, turned around, and only touched it with his hands. ”

"There are very few porcelain unearthed from the tombs of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and even fewer with dates, and the shape does not have a relatively fixed standard like the porcelain of the Tang and Song dynasties and earlier. ”

"The Ming and Qing dynasties are not long, and the varieties of porcelain are complex and continuous, so the identification of Ming and Qing porcelain has its own particularity, and it is very difficult to accurately determine it. ”

"Mr. Sun took the official kiln porcelain of the Ming and Qing dynasties as the standard, compared the characteristics of different dynasties with different eras, and after research and induction, the identification was mentioned to the theoretical senior engineer and then used to guide the identification practice, laying the foundation for the scientific identification of Ming and Qing dynasty porcelain, and he deserved to be the first person!"

"Don't look at Mr. Sun's family wealth, but his life is very simple, he wears plain clothes on weekdays, three meals a day is extremely simple, and he only eats two taels of pig's head meat every week. ”

"I still remember that every year during the Spring Festival, I made sugar gourds for the children to eat. But in order to acquire the peerless treasures of the Chengdai Doucai Sanqiu Cup, a throw is 40 gold bars, and that year in the capital of the best eight in and eight out of the courtyard is nothing more than that. ”

Speaking of this, the old man slowly stood up, picked up the crutch, took Su Yuan's hand, and said kindly: "Let's go, I'll take you to see." ”

Su Yuan hurriedly helped the old man and slowly walked towards the porcelain warehouse, it was rare to have the opportunity to enter the treasure house of the Forbidden City, it was definitely worth the trip.

Coming to the warehouse, Lu Chenglong opened the safe, Su Yuan looked at the dazzling array of treasures, took a deep breath, and took out any one of them for tens of millions, the best that all collectors dreamed of.

At that time, Mr. Sun donated more than 2,000 pieces of ceramics, from the famous kilns of the Jin, Tang, Song and Yuan dynasties to the imperial kilns of Jingdezhen in the Ming and Qing dynasties. ”

After speaking, he motioned to Lu Chenglong to take out a small brocade box, carefully opened it with his own hands, and displayed: "This is the legendary Ming Chenghua Doucai Sanqiu Cup, a total of two, in pairs, ranking first among all donated ceramics, and the only one in the entire Forbidden City!"

Su Yuan hurriedly put on his gloves, carefully picked them up, and studied them carefully. Skimming, deep belly, thin bottom, circle feet, no ornamentation in the cup.

The outer wall is painted with two groups of colorful mountain stone floral patterns, with flying butterflies in between. The blue and white hair color is elegant, and the glaze color is red, yellow, and purple.

The purple color applied on the butterfly wings is the famous purple color, which is characterized by the color is thick and dull, which is the only one for Chenghua Doucai, and the imitation of later generations is beyond reach.

The shape is light and delicate, the carcass is as thin as cicada wings, the color is elegant, and the painting is fresh. In particular, the colorful butterflies flying among the flowers and plants, if they want to fall and fly, they must be complete and lifelike.

Geng Lao said with a smile: "Chenghua Doucai is well-known for its thinness, how thin is it? ”

"The most special thing is the purple applied on the butterfly wings, the color is like red iron, although it is gorgeous but the surface is dry and dull, which is precisely the unique feature of Chenghua Doucai, even the three generations of Kang Yongqian can not imitate it for a hundred years. ”

Su Yuan nodded, in fact, another important reason why future generations could not imitate Chenghua Doucai was the soil. At that time, Doucai was fired with the hemp cang soil of Jingdezhen, and the carcass formed a unique tooth yellow, which was used up in the early years of Hongzhi, and could only look at the porcelain and sigh.

Open the bottom paragraph, only to see the famous Ming Dynasty Chenghua year, the font is fat, the pen is thick, soft and rigid, strong and powerful, giving people a sense of rather clumsy than clever, to win in clumsiness.

"The bottom of Chenghua porcelain and the Ming and Qing dynasties are very different, contrary to the rigorous atmosphere, it seems very casual and clumsy, at first glance, it looks like a child wrote, so it is also called a baby body. ”

Mr. Sun specially made up a smooth slip: the big character is pointed and the round head is not high, and the word is hard and straight to the waist. The word is dagger flat micro head,

The word-making clothes are less than the knife. Tomorrow will be narrow, and the word three nods shoulders and waists. ”

Su Yuan put down the Sanqiu cup, or elegant or strong colors, depicting the autumn countryside and wild scenes, the decorative painting lines are concise, like a beautiful picture, full of natural breath and life interest.

Because of the autumn that lasted for three months, there was a saying of three autumns, so the cup was given the nickname of three autumns.

In 1949, Qiu Yanzhi, a big collector on Hong Kong Island, picked a big leak and bought a pair of Chenghua Doucai chicken bowl cups for more than 1,000 Hong Kong dollars, which was passed down as a beautiful talk in the Tibetan world.

One of them was sold at Sotheby's auction in 1999 for 29.17 million Hong Kong dollars, setting a new record for the sky-high price of that year, and Chenghua Doucai also became famous.

For another example, a fragment of the Chenghua Doucai Tianzi jar was also auctioned in London in 2001 at a high price of 11.3 million.

However, whether it is a chicken bowl cup or a Tianzi jar, the amount of survival is not too small, and there are more than 20 chicken bowl cups in the Forbidden City. But the Sanqiu Cup, the only pair in the world, is unique, and it can be called the treasure of the Palace Museum.

Some people estimate it at least a billion dollars!

Geng Lao took out another thing and displayed: "This is the green glazed string pattern bottle of the Ge kiln, and it is also a first-class cultural relic, which is comparable to the large plate of Kwaikou, and it will be exhibited together next month." ”

"This is a large lotus plate of the fixed kiln, the largest size ......"

"The official kiln sunflower petal wash is also a first-class cultural relic......"

"Yongle blue and white twined branch pattern bowl, rare pairs, can not be found......"

One by one, the best products of the official kiln made Su Yuan addicted, in just over half an hour, if it is estimated according to the auction price, it will be 10 billion!
