Chapter 340: Porcelain, Porcelain (Supplement 1.16)
"Yes!" Jia Rudao nodded excitedly.
If it is said that when Jia Nidao first started to learn porcelain knowledge, maybe Jia Nidao would not care too much about such an ancient book. After all, judging from the abundance of modern information, no matter what kind of book it is, there are very few real unique books, and as long as you have a little money on hand, you can buy the ones that have already been published. No matter how bad it is, you can also rely on connections to get some manuscripts and the like. Unless it is your own personal collection experience, or some information passed down from generation to generation by your elders, it may become a real one-of-a-kind book.
In Jia Nidao's home, there was a lot of books on porcelain that Ah San listed in order to let Jia Nidao learn porcelain and get started as soon as possible. To say, whether there is this "Speaking of Porcelain" given by Uncle Zhou is really an insignificant matter.
However, Jia Yidao would not think so in his heart.
At this moment, he was able to come to "Zhou Ji", which was naturally a chance to beg for a coincidence. If it weren't for the fact that he had made a call to Ah San at this time, Jia Rudao would not have thought that Uncle Zhou Fugui would start to explain some porcelain collection to some young people.
Don't look at Zhou Fugui's usual appearance, he is not very kind and does not smile. Especially the expression on which he sat on the rattan chair and looked at the newspaper, there was a faint sense of majesty. However, when I talked to Jia Nidao in the past, I still had a somewhat kind feeling. Such an eight-sided person, if you don't have a deep relationship with you, don't expect people to be able to talk about something real to you selflessly!
It can be seen that it is not easy for Uncle Zhou Fugui to take out his collection of broken porcelain pieces and "Speaking Porcelain" at this time.
And, what is the purpose of collecting a line?
Isn't it just to improve one's eyesight in the antique industry in the process of collecting and collecting, and constantly searching? If you want to accumulate wealth, it requires luck. After all, the number of good things is really limited, but the knowledge of collecting a line is infinite, just like the book "Saying Porcelain" in front of you.
After Jia Rudao took it from Uncle Zhou Fugui's hand, he began to read it.
As the saying goes, the layman looks at the excitement, and the insider looks at the doorway. The line of porcelain is a unique artistic category and aesthetic object in the treasure house of Chinese art. In the thousands of years of Chinese civilization, porcelain has always played an important role. It is one of the most dazzling achievements of the vast and profound Chinese civilization, and even in a short time, in the eyes of Westerners, porcelain is synonymous with "China".
From this, it can be seen whether the porcelain made of clay carries all the ideals of human material and spiritual life.
It is high up and at the closest distance to us. Porcelain in the Shang Dynasty, to the Song Dynasty to the stage of extreme maturity, in the north and south of the river formed the Ding kiln, Jun kiln, Ru kiln, Ge kiln, official kiln and other five major porcelain systems, to the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the appearance of colored porcelain, glaze turned to the colorful aspect, thus forming a fine and vulgar perfect characteristic.
In ancient China, all the rarest and most exquisite things were often monopolized by the royal family, forbidden to be used by the people, and some even only the emperor had the right to enjoy them. Because of this, porcelain is no longer just at the practical level, but through the speculation of people, landscapes and scenes, it strengthens its artistic connotation as an ornamental craft. Paintings, poems and calligraphy are put on porcelain, and porcelain gradually becomes a special work of art integrating calligraphy, painting and craftsmanship.
Any piece of porcelain, even if it seems simple, but it contains such a big message, it really makes Jia Yidao, a beginner, fascinated and addicted. It seems to be a lot of insight into every line of porcelain.
Even if he has already read it, when Jia Yidao reads it again, he is full of pious feelings about the description in the book. What's more, the book "Speaking of Porcelain" in his hand is an ancient book in itself. In the process of flipping through the pages, you can not only see the above knowledge, but also feel that some experts in the past, just like Jia Nidao is now, carefully flip through the book in their hands.
This kind of personal feeling is enough for Jia Yidao to engrave the knowledge he has seen in his mind one step further.
I'm afraid, feel some of the heritage that everyone has left in the books, share their reading experience, and even flip through an ancient book with those collectors to increase Jia Nidao's confidence in porcelain collection, which is the ultimate goal of Uncle Zhou Fugui handing this "Saying Porcelain" to Jia Nidao to read.
In this way, how can Jia Rudao's heart not be flooded with a touch of joy?
Here, Jia Rudao is slowly absorbing the knowledge in "Speaking of Porcelain", wantonly speculating in his heart about what kind of feelings some connoisseurs have when they see such ancient books, and Uncle Zhou Fugui's side is still the same, looking at many young people, on the counter, looking for their favorite porcelain fragments one by one!
"I said Uncle Zhou, shouldn't you, just take these broken porcelain pieces and tell us about them, right?" Ah San glanced at Jia Yidao, and after Jia Yidao was in a trance, he didn't step forward to disturb him. Instead, in front of the counter, he gaged with Uncle Zhou Fugui.
"What, isn't it okay?" Uncle Zhou Fugui naturally knew that these broken porcelain pieces in front of him were not of much help to people like Ah San. However, for beginners like Xiaoqian, and even lovers who don't understand porcelain collecting at all, the effect is obvious.
"These porcelain fragments, don't look at them alone, it is true that they are not visible, but when they are combined together, under the long-term viewing, they should be well appraised and evaluated, for example, starting from the local characteristics of these porcelain pieces, and then combined with the theoretical knowledge obtained when they read the book, carefully figure out and grasp the characteristics of porcelain shape, decoration, style, fetal quality, enamel and glaze color. Zhou Fugui said, "After a period of time, I personally think that for the porcelain line, it can be regarded as a relatively preliminary introduction." ”
"Uncle Zhou, are you talking about all these broken porcelain pieces?" a young man asked after hearing this.
"yes. Zhou Fugui nodded, "If you only look at one or two pieces of porcelain alone, what you can learn is only a type of porcelain from one era and one era." This is nothing for the porcelain line. ”
"In other words, the more you study the broken porcelain pieces, the more knowledge you know and master?" Xiao Qian said on the side.
"In theory, yes. Uncle Zhou Fugui replied, "However, these days, even broken porcelain pieces are not so easy to find, and the few broken porcelain pieces that Xiao Jia received last time are relatively good in quality." As for other people, if they want to learn porcelain from broken porcelain pieces, it is difficult to say whether they have such luck. ”
"Broken porcelain, can there be a difference between good and bad quality?" Xiao Qian asked curiously.
"Hehe, Xiaoqian, you don't know this. Uncle Zhou Fugui didn't answer, Ah San hurriedly said, "Just say the jade you want to learn." From the perspective of color, there are red jade, green jade, purple jade, etc., but in each color, there are different textures, as well as different shapes, water heads and the like. If you have handled more jadeite jewelry, the more you will understand their respective characteristics. It's just that when you first start learning, even any kind of jadeite jewelry is new to you, and you can learn a lot from it. However, as you gradually enter the state and enter the jadeite industry, you are bound to encounter a lot of jadeite jewelry with the same texture and similar water head. At this time, if you are ready to learn more about jadeite, you must have certain requirements for the quality of jadeite. ”
"So, in the porcelain industry, it's also similar to the jadeite industry, right?" After listening to Ah San's words, Xiaoqian realized a little, and the recent study of jadeite has made the little girl more and more fond of jadeite. Not to mention the ingenuity of the craftsman, just a kind of coldness of the jadeite itself, when you don't understand, or just look at it in surprise, but after you start to contact and understand, Xiaoqian feels that there are many interesting things in the jadeite industry. For example, the shape of jadeite, for example, the value of jadeite, and even after seeing some jadeite jewelry, you can speculate what kind of thrill and excitement there is in the process of producing this jewelry.
For example, the excavation of jadeite rough stones, and then gambling stones, stone cutting, and the like.
In any industry, as long as you have a real in-depth understanding, there will always be many shining points.
Of course, Xiaoqian is just a salesman of a jade shop, and this jade shop has not yet opened, so she knows more about it from Ah San's side and some information. The real contact is nothing more than on the side of "Zhou Ji", relying on the relationship between Jia Rudao and Ah San, and asking Uncle Zhou Fugui to take some jade jewelry and give her a hand.
No wonder, I haven't seen each other for a while, but what Jia Rudao saw was that the relationship between Xiaoqian, Uncle Zhou, Ali and others had become much more harmonious.
"The classification of porcelain is more complicated than that of jadeite. Ah San nodded and said, "It's like different dynasties, different types of porcelain, what blue and white, pastel, etc., it's like the more famous Yuan blue and white." The real Yuan blue and white broken porcelain pieces are also relatively rare in the antique market at this time. I can't say it, just a piece of broken porcelain will cost tens of thousands of dollars. Therefore, this way of learning from broken porcelain pieces also needs to be done according to one's ability. Start with simple, ordinary broken porcelain pieces, and then gradually seek some precious broken porcelain pieces. Of course, it would be even more wonderful to be able to receive some complete models. ”
Immediately, Ah San looked at Uncle Zhou Fugui. At this moment, several young people present were all looking at Uncle Zhou Fugui with blank eyes, wanting to listen to his mouth and say something constructive.
"Hehe, what are you looking at me like this?" Uncle Zhou Fugui said with a smile, "What should be said, Ah San has already said it." Moreover, Ah San has quite won the true biography of Old Man Wei, compared to me, a nephrite player who became a monk halfway, Ah San's vision for porcelain is much more sophisticated than mine. ”
"Uncle Zhou, aren't you shabby me. Ah San's face was a little unnatural.
"There's nothing to be shy about. Uncle Zhou Fugui didn't mean to spare him. said, "The so-called hearing of the Tao has a precedence, and the one who reaches it is the first." I don't have as good eyesight as you in the porcelain line, just not as good as yours. Could it be that if I say that I am better than you kid, I can really be better than you kid?"
"Uh, this ......" Ah San hesitated, not knowing what to say.
"However, although it is said that there is a sequence of hearing the Tao, for the porcelain industry, the earlier you start contacting, the greater the achievements you may achieve. Back then, when I entered the door of Old Man Wei, I was already a little older. In addition, my qualifications are only average, and my talent for understanding is not outstanding, in the words of Mr. Wei, that is, a relatively mediocre person in porcelain collection, so in the end, I changed to collecting my favorite jasper antiques. ”
When he said this, Uncle Zhou Fugui was still embarrassed.
"That, Uncle Zhou, does porcelain collection also need to depend on a person's qualifications and understanding?" Xiao Qian asked suspiciously.
"Who's to say it isn't. Uncle Zhou Fugui nodded and said, "It's just that if you look at the specifics, a collector like me may not be able to see it." Unless it is an expert like Master Wei, who has been immersed in the porcelain collecting industry for most of his life, their vision of people is undoubtedly much more accurate. Moreover, if you meet a rare good seedling, you still need to look at the age of the other party. If you miss the best time to enter this industry, your future achievements will surely have a lot of unsatisfactory. ”
"But don't be so old about yourself. Ah San said on the side, "Just say me, I entered the industry at the age of twelve, hehe......" Speaking of this, Ah San smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, who made his second grandfather a porcelain collector?" "And my second grandfather, when he was ten years old, entered the industry. At that time, it can be said that he was still in Panjiayuan in Beijing, oh, it should be an apprentice at the Beijing Liulichang antique shop. It took nearly 20 years to do this, and this is what his old man has achieved now...... Like Uncle Zhou, I don't have the understanding of the old man, so don't look at my early entry into the industry, but in the collection of porcelain, it is also an average level. ”
"In this way, aren't we like us, can't we learn to collect porcelain at all?" said a young man next to him, "I don't think that my understanding can compare to Uncle Zhou and Ah San, you two." ”
"Hehe......" Some of the other people also laughed out loud when they heard this.
"That's not what it says. Uncle Zhou Fugui Xu saw that the atmosphere at the scene was not very good, so he explained, "In the antique industry, it is very difficult for a person's eyesight to judge the authenticity of things based on his own experience, and among them, the identification of porcelain is the most." However, any porcelain appraisal can not be cultivated overnight. The so-called, jade is not cut into a tool, its own understanding, of course, is important, and the acquired hard work is also indispensable......"
Speaking of this, Uncle Zhou Fugui glanced at Jia Rudao, who was still watching "Speaking of Porcelain", pointed and said, "Just say Xiao Jia, don't look at others, contact with antiques, it's only been a few months now." Not to mention that he is already an expert in porcelain collection, at least, he has also collected a few good collections, just in the attainments of the jadeite line, people like me who have lived for half a lifetime, occasionally involve the jadeite line, not to mention, even other experts who specialize in playing jadeite, it is beyond the reach of the dust. His luck and understanding are naturally nothing to say. However, his efforts, others don't know, Ah San, as Xiao Jia's more compatible friend, must have a deep understanding, right?"
"That's it. Ah San nodded very seriously, "At ordinary times, Xiao Jia Ke is dealing with jadeite, whether it is jadeite rough or jadeite jewelry. There is not much time for usual entertainment. The big deal is to go out with a few friends like me and have a meal or something. Living habits, but very good...... By the way, Xiaoqian, it's a pity that you already have a boyfriend, otherwise, I'm wondering if I want to introduce you to your boss. ”
"I'm going to die, you, stinky Ah San......" Xiao Qian couldn't help but annoyed Ah San's eyes, her face was a little red, looking at it at this time, she was naturally extraordinarily delicate and cute!
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but laugh.
After all, everyone is still young and used to being noisy. For the collection of porcelain, although it is very important, but when it comes to the real collection, it is limited to its own financial and material resources and other reasons, and it is impossible to involve too deeply.
It was the young man who had just come to take a look, and now he listened to everyone's laughter, and he also showed a slightly moved expression!
