People have a comparison mentality, always want to compare their own things with things outside, Tang Feng is not exempt from vulgarity, their blue and white Tianqiu bottle is Ming Yongle. According to the rigorous scientific division, there are actually only two artistic peaks of blue and white porcelain, one is the blue and white of the Ming Dynasty, and the other is the blue and white of the Qing Dynasty. This is talking about the peak of art rather than the peak of value, the transaction price can not really reflect the level of blue and white porcelain art, it is affected by the double influence of the number of generations and values, therefore, Yuan blue and white porcelain can be the peak of the value of blue and white porcelain, but it is not the artistic peak of blue and white porcelain.

Yuan Qinghua melted Persian culture, Mongolian culture and Han culture, and it is more in line with the values of the Western world, which still dominates the values of today's world, so the transaction price record of Yuan Qinghua is much higher than that of Ming and Qing Qinghua. This is not to grow other people's ambition to destroy their own prestige, it is a fact, which is especially obvious in the collection, Westerners like Yuan Qinghua, Yuan Qinghua will be very expensive; If people like Xuande furnace and don't like it, the value of Xuande furnace is low; Westerners like oil paintings, and the value of oil paintings will be higher than Chinese paintings, so is traditional Chinese painting really worse than oil painting? Obviously not, so—

The monetary value of a collection does not equate to its artistic value.

The blue and white of the Ming Dynasty and the blue and white of the Qing Dynasty are only a general reference, and there are subdivisions when it comes to the breaking of blue and white porcelain. Ming blue and white can be roughly divided into Hongwu blue and white, Yongxuan blue and white, Chenghong blue and white, and Jiawan blue and white. There is a difference between the blue and white porcelain and the historical generation, and it is clear from the transactions of people in the industry that the seller takes a piece of blue and white porcelain out and says that it is Yongxuan, and the buyer can immediately roughly determine the valuation range.

Qing Dynasty blue and white can be roughly divided into three generations of the Qing Dynasty and three generations of non-Qing Dynasty, one of the three generations of the Qing Dynasty, that is a valuable thing, and then there is no need to talk about it, with slight ups and downs, and the overall decline.

If we want to specify the two artistic peaks of blue and white porcelain to a certain dynasty, that is, Yongxuan blue and white and Kangxi blue and white, why can Kangxi top Yongle and Xuande? This is because he reigned for a long time, full 61 years.

Fine blue and white porcelain of the Ming and Qing dynasties was influenced by the number of surviving and Western values to a relatively consistent degree, which can be measured from the transaction price. At present, the top 10 auction price records of blue and white porcelain in the Ming Dynasty are all blue and white porcelain in the Yongle and Xuande periods, and the transaction price of a Ming Yongle blue and white inner and outer bottom dragon play bead pattern rib wash at Christie's in New York is 43.4 million yuan, breaking the transaction price record of Ming blue and white in February of this year, and the transaction price of a Ming Yongle blue and white sea wave entwined branch Hun Lotus double phoenix Chaoyang double series large flat pot in Macau CITIC is 55.96 million, refreshing this record. In contrast, the transaction price of Kangxi blue and white is much inferior, and there are other special reasons for this.

The full name of the blue and white celestial globe bottle in front of Tang Feng is Ming Yongle tangled branch lotus seawater dragon pattern celestial ball bottle, which is about 30 cm high and about 20 cm in diameter, and its neck is painted with a tangled lotus pattern between the bottle and the bottle; The bottle body is painted with waves and white water and blue dragon patterns; The bottom foot is a paper clip; The transition between the three is in a lotus petal pattern. Its carcass is finely cultivated, the carcass is thin, delicate and dense, the enamel is fat, the glaze is thick and verdant, and the bottle has a small number of rust marks, which is a typical Yongle blue and white characteristic.

The white water blue dragon pattern refers to the white sea water, the blue dragon pattern, and the blue and white porcelain water dragon pattern can also be reversed into the blue water white dragon pattern. There are many ways to determine the age of blue and white porcelain, and since this blue and white porcelain is placed in a glass display case, Tang Feng, like other visitors, can only be judged by sight. The tire glaze conforms to the characteristics of Yongle blue and white, and Tang Feng next observes the decoration.

The most intuitive method of ornamentation is the dragon pattern generation, the Ming and Qing dynasties, the dragon and phoenix ornamentation in the porcelain application is more extensive than before, the style is more diversified, and the dragon pattern for the emperor has begun to appear on the porcelain of the folk kiln. The dragon head of this period has horns and beards, and the sideburns are complete, and the five-clawed dragon is often seen in the official kiln. The dragons of Hongwu blue and white and Yongxuan blue and white are mighty and powerful, with lips turned up, hair floating, powerful claws, and vivid fire cloud patterns and sea water patterns. Chenghong blue and white dragon is soft and delicate, with two short whiskers on the upper lip, a closed mouth, and five claws in the shape of a wheel, with a sense of swimming. The dragon of Jiawan blue and white is old and decrepit, the dragon's mouth is mostly open, the hair is floating back, and the five claws are zigzag. The dragon at the end of the Ming Dynasty was old, with long hair floating down, lifeless. The dragon's momentum and demeanor in the Qing Dynasty also have obvious differences, the law is that the dragon in the strong period of the dragon open teeth and claws, the tiger and the tiger are vigorous, and the dragon in the decline period is thin and weak, and the eyes are dull. When the dragon pattern began to appear, it was only seen as a joke, how could the dragon's demeanor be related to national strength, but after research and induction, this is the case. This can be explained from the mentality of the potter, the treatment is good in the heyday, the life is comfortable, the work enthusiasm is also high, and the dragon drawn is naturally mighty and fierce; During the decline period, the poor treatment affected the enthusiasm for work, and the potters themselves felt that they could not be compared with their ancestors, and the people were panicked, and the dragon drawn was naturally thin and sloppy.

"Hmm. Tang Feng nodded while looking at it, yes, this dragon is indeed the Yongle period.Dragon, the bottom of this blue and white Tianqiu bottle is displayed on the display screen, the four-character seal book - Yongle year, this is the only Yongle blue and white style that has been handed down, if there is a six-character model or regular script of the Yongle year system of the Ming Dynasty, before the real standard is found, it can basically be sure that it is a fake. Speaking of style, there is a special case, not all official kiln porcelain will keep official money, and it will not necessarily keep the official money of this dynasty. Kangxi blue and white porcelain is like this, many official kiln Kangxi blue and white porcelain is not written, and a large part of the Kangxi blue and white porcelain with official money is left in the Ming Dynasty official money, which is a special case in the Qing Dynasty where the literary prison prevailed, and Kangxi is allowed. This kind of lack of money or the previous dynasty makes it difficult to distinguish between the officials and the people of Kangxi blue and white, and it is difficult to distinguish the real imitation, which affects the market situation of Kangxi blue and white. In the last years of the Ming Dynasty, even the regime was already in turmoil, not to mention the official kiln. The decline of the official kiln, the folk kiln began to flourish, who is the emperor needs porcelain? The impact of this situation is very far-reaching, which is why there is a later angry official kiln, therefore, the craftsmanship level of the Kangxi kiln fine blue and white porcelain is not lower than that of the official kiln porcelain, which is the reason why the government and the people are inseparable, therefore, the market price of the blue and white kiln in the Kangxi period has been higher than that of other periods.

Throughout the history of Chinese porcelain production, the role of the official kiln is actually negative, it is the emergence of the exclusive mechanism of the court, which will lead to the porcelain production process can not be inherited, which can not be seen in peacetime, once the dynasty is changed, there will be a large area of process fault, this lack directly led to the decline of porcelain, because the inheritance of the transition period must be borne by the kiln, the suppression of the kiln will inevitably affect the quality of the kiln itself, which will appear in the Song Dynasty kiln, Yuan Qinghua, Qing Dynasty three generations such a lonely peak of the so-called peak. If this situation of porcelain is extended to modern economics, there is no benefit in suppressing private capital and emphasizing state-owned assets, and unfortunately, such signs are now emerging in China, such as real estate.

Tang Feng was looking at porcelain here, and a noble lady on the opposite side of the glass cabinet was looking at Tang Feng, Tang Feng couldn't help scratching his scalp, Hong Kong people's aesthetics are different. It's not that Tang Feng is arrogant, he really doesn't conform to modern people's aesthetics of men, and he has never received this kind of treatment before.

It was difficult for Tang Feng to judge the actual age of this noble lady from her face, she looked very young, not a few years older than Lin Muyu. There is also a man beside her, this man is about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, about the same height as Tang Feng, but his body is stronger than him, and his chest muscles are bulging, a typical muscular man. His Mandarin was not very standard, and he asked the lady, "Auntie, do you think this blue and white is real or fake?"

Tang Feng didn't expect that this noble lady's nephews were older than him, the noble lady didn't answer the muscular man's question, but walked straight to Tang Feng, she came to Tang Feng and smiled at him elegantly, and said, "This gentleman, can I ask you a few questions?"

Although Tang Feng was confused, he still had basic politeness, he smiled slightly, and said, "Of course you can." ”

The lady took out a business card from her Chanel bag and handed it to Tang Feng, saying, "My name is Lan Qi, and I am from Hong Kong Yinshi Group. If it weren't for Lin Muyu to help Tang Feng find information about the Asian jewelry industry, Tang Feng really didn't know what Hong Kong Yinshi Group did, Hong Kong Yinshi's comprehensive strength is far stronger than Yang Chengming's Han Tang Treasure Industry, it ranks second in Asia, second only to the world's top ten jewelry brands of Japan's Imperial Books, but its main business in Hong Kong and Taiwan, Japan and South Korea and Southeast Asia does not involve the domestic market.

Lan Qi asked Tang Fengdao, "What is your surname, what is your name, and what is your mother's surname?"

Tang Feng didn't expect this cultivated lady to ask himself so abruptly, he said: "My surname is Tang, my name is Tang Feng, and I really don't know my mother's surname." ”

Lan Qi's next question shocked Tang Feng very much, she asked: "Surname Tang, who are you Tang Wenyu?" Of course he knew who Tang Wenyu was, it was his grandfather, but his grandfather had repeatedly asked him not to mention him to anyone except the people of the Huang family, or admit his relationship with him, and also beware of people who inquired about his family history, he didn't tell Lin Muyu about his family history, Tang Feng shook his head and said, "I don't know this person." ”

"How is that possible?" Lan Qi suddenly raised her voice.

"Auntie, what's wrong with you?" asked the muscular man as he walked over to them.

"It's nothing, maybe I recognized the wrong person. Lan Qi shook her head and said to Tang Feng, "Mr. Tang, I'm sorry, I'm too rude. Now, can I ask you one more question?"

Tang Feng was also very curious about this woman who said her grandfather's name as soon as she spoke, and without involving her own family background, he also wanted to find a little bit of family background from her. If she is also surnamed Lin, the answer to the question is easy to find, she may be someone from another family of tomb robbers, the Lin family, but her surname is Lan. Tang Feng said: "It's okay, if you have any questions, just ask, as long as I know." ”

Lan Qi pointed to the blue and white celestial ball bottle and asked Tang Fengdao, "Do you think this is true or fake?"

"This" Tang Feng began to hesitate, this blue and white celestial ball bottle is exactly the same as the one in their house, if his family does not have the real Ming Yongle blue and white celestial vase, then Tang Feng will definitely think that this thing is genuine, unfortunately, this Ming Yongle blue and white porcelain and theirs still have a certain gap, Tang Feng and their Ming Yongle blue and white is not rust marks, it looks much more exquisite and clean than this Ming Yongle blue and white porcelain.

Since the one is real, then this one is fake, and it is impossible to have a pair of the same furnace, because the green material used is completely different, this Ming blue and white piece uses Su Ma Liqing, and the one used Zhejiang material.

Blue and white are glazed with cobalt ore containing cobalt oxide, which is blue after firing, and has the characteristics of strong tinting strength, bright color, high firing rate and stable color. Su Ma Liqing is an imported glaze, the origin is in ancient Persia, that is, modern Syria, Yuan blue and white and Ming Yongle, Xuande official kiln blue and white most of the use of Su Ma Liqing. Because Su Ma Liqing is a low-manganese high-iron iron glaze, the iron cannot be completely removed, so the porcelain using this glaze has rust marks. Most of the domestic glazes are high-manganese glazes, with low iron content and no rust marks. Zhejiang material, also known as Zhejiang green, produced in Shaoxing, Zhejiang, Jinhua area, is the best green glaze in the domestic glaze, from the middle of the Ming Dynasty Wanli, blue and white porcelain gradually got rid of the dependence on imported glazes, from this period, Jingdezhen official kiln blue and white porcelain has been using Zhejiang green. There is one thing that Tang Feng has not figured out so far, it is not uncommon for his Ming Yongle blue and white celestial ball vase to use Zhejiang Qing, but it is a problem that it is more exquisite than the Zhejiang celadon of Ming Wanli, which is anti-era.

Tang Feng was thinking in his heart, but his mind was spinning rapidly, and he then said to Lan Qi: "It's hard to say this. This signal cannot be revealed, otherwise the other party will easily know that there is a genuine product in their home.

Lan Qi looked around and said to Tang Feng: "You can't fool me, you must know Tang Wenyu." I can tell you that this blue and white is fake, because we have a genuine Ming Yongle tangled branch lotus sea water phoenix pattern celestial ball bottle at home, and it uses Zhejiang green glaze. The dragon bottle and the phoenix bottle are a pair, Ma your grandfather, call me when you get the answer, the people of the Lan family will not harm the people of the Tang family, let alone the people of the Lin family. ”

The Lin family, she mentioned the Lin family, this matter is getting more and more troublesome, the Tang family, the Huang family, and the Lin family are complicated enough, and now the Lan family has appeared, but Tang Feng still knows nothing.

"Auntie, don't mention this here, let's go. The muscular man said to Lan Qi.

Lan Qi smiled at Tang Feng and said, "Take care, goodbye." ”

"Goodbye. Tang Feng nodded slightly, turned around and left, Lan Qi's appearance made Tang Feng eager to know his family background, if there is really a dragon and phoenix bottle, the relationship between the Tang family and the Lan family must be not ordinary, a pair of vases is a family, and it is also a dragon and phoenix bottle.

But if there is no dragon and phoenix bottle at all, it is entirely possible that Lan Qi is deliberately testing herself, why does she want to know her family background and the whereabouts of the real dragon bottle?
