Chapter 476: Ivory Carving - Nine Dragons Capture the Pearl (1st Shift)

Why is it that such a prominent firewood kiln has not seen any artifacts, and even the kiln site has not been found?

There are many analytical articles on the Internet that are dedicated to the reasons for the scarcity of firewood kilns, but to sum up, there are nothing more than a few points.

First, the time is short.

Emperor Chai Rong died after only 5 and a half years of reign, only a few months after his death, Emperor Chai Rong's general, Bai Jiang's brother Zhao Kuangyin launched the Chenqiao Mutiny, drove the orphans and widows of the Later Zhou Dynasty from power, and established the Great Song Dynasty, and after Zhao Kuangyin ascended the throne, the firewood kiln soon stopped burning.

The firewood kiln has been burned for about 4 years before and after it is turned on at full power, and the output will not be too high.

The second is the theory of fragility.

At that time, the firewood kiln was mainly used for firing military supplies, which was required to be lightweight, practical, and easy to carry, and not necessarily all of them were paid.

Light weight is bound to be thin and fragile. Coupled with the bumpy march and the smoke of gunpowder, it makes sense that there was a lot of damage. If it is really rarely paid, even if the descendants occasionally get the firewood kiln, they may not recognize it, and they will not cherish it if they don't recognize it, and they may be damaged if they don't cherish it.

So it led to a firewood kiln, which was broken again and again.

The third is the theory of deliberate damage.

It mainly talks about how Zhao Kuangyin was narrow-minded, organized, premeditated and planned to exterminate the Chai kiln that enjoyed infinite glory, so as to reorganize and lay the cultural foundation of the Great Song Dynasty, such as destroying the firewood kiln and concentrating all the craft design masters and craftsmen of the kiln to burn the Ru kiln.

There are many other theories, in short, for thousands of years, firewood kilns are extremely precious and rare.

Even Wen Zhenheng, a calligrapher and painter in the late Ming Dynasty and the great-grandson of Wen Zhengming, lamented in "The Chronicle of Long Things" that "kilns, firewood kilns are the most expensive, and the world is not the same".

The firewood kiln is the leader of the famous porcelain in China in the past dynasties, with its beautiful and elegant glaze, exquisite and delicate craftsmanship, beautiful and elegant shape, and unparalleled value, it is unique in my Chinese porcelain forest for more than 5,000 years.

In the red envelope space, this is a very delicate and beautiful lotus porcelain bowl.

Place it on the palm of your hand so that the underside is exactly the same size as it, matching each other.

It is about 10 centimeters tall and resembles a blooming lotus flower.

The whole shape is very graceful, harmonious, well-proportioned, luxurious, beautiful, elegant, and charming, just like a plump and beautiful lady, after bathing, is standing quietly in front of you.

There is a touch of green glaze at the bottom corner of the lotus bowl, due to the crystals and fine cracks in the glaze, or there are other color elements in the glaze, forming a colorful reflection of light money, just like a rainbow after rain!

This is very consistent with what is said in the "Notes of the South Kiln" that "the fire glass, agate, and gold and stone of the Wude treasure house are sintered in one place, and the glaze is made because of the order".

In other places, the glaze layer is very uniform, as uniform and thin as paper, the glaze is pale green, and the glaze is crystal like a mirror.

Take a closer look at the lotus bowl, there are fine lines and small open pieces, the pieces are regular, and the ice cracks that twist and turn in the depths of the porcelain tire seem to be broken but not broken, looming.

There is a tire oil under the glaze, and the edge of the tire oil is glued to a lot of loess like egg yolk. The soles of the lotus bowls are also glued with loess like egg yolks.

Gently caressing the extremely beautiful lotus bowl, the glaze is moist and delicate, exquisitely clear. The carcass is thicker, but it can transmit light, the fetal soil is very delicate, and the shape is made of the whole tire material is carved and polished with a knife, so as to avoid the stress deformation caused by manual drawing, so the shape of the instrument is correct, and there is no deformation defect caused by the drawing of the embryo after the kiln.

Zhou Rui's eyes lit up.

Almost didn't roll over.

Haiwang City is a city with a long cultural history, and it is really normal to get antique red envelopes here.

What's more, Aquaman City is still a huge film and television city.

Lots of antique buildings inside.

There are also many traditional Chinese crafts and arts.

If you want to appreciate the real Chinese style, you can come here.

Neptune City was invested and built by Neptune City.

It can be said that the benefits are in the present generation, and the merits are in the future.

Of course, this benefit is in the contemporary era, and the merit is in the future, only in Haiwang City, and it is not as influential as the Grand Canal.

Haiwang City is a citizen of Haiwang City, and I don't know how many employment opportunities are provided.

I don't know how many people have made it rich.

At the same time, I don't know how many crews don't have to run around.

In Haiwang City, there are many places of interest and historic sites, and it is a city with the richest cultural heritage in Donghai Province.

Spring and Autumn Period - the tomb site of King Chengwu is here, in addition, a lot of cultural relics and antiques have been unearthed in Haiwang City.

From the Spring and Autumn Period to the Anti-Japanese War Period, there are all kinds of antique cultural relics.

Bronze from the Spring and Autumn period.

Silk paintings of the Han Dynasty.

Calligraphy of the Sui and Tang dynasties.

Five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty.

The blue and white porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty, the Xuande furnace of the Ming Dynasty, and the enamel color of the Qing Dynasty.

You can see all of this in the museum in Neptune City.

In the Neptune City Museum, there is also the treasure of the town hall - the golden jade clothes.

It was obtained from the tomb of Liu Jun, the king of Zhenwu in the Western Han Dynasty.

It's very complete.

In addition to the golden jade clothes, there are also several pieces of porcelain.

They are all national treasures.

Haiwang City is a cultural city.

The cultural heritage is very thick.

So the main economy here is also tourism and services.

In addition to this, there are a lot of crafts.

For example, wood carving, for example, porcelain.

Certainly not antique.

It's a modern product.

There are also a lot of bamboo products and so on.

Full of artistic flair.

The whole city is quaint.

Most of them have maintained their ancient architectural appearance.

Traveling here can not only see the beautiful scenery, but also appreciate the footprints and wisdom of the immortals.

So it's normal to get antique red envelopes from this city.

The third red envelope is also an antique red envelope that belongs to the ordinary red envelope.

In the red envelope, Zhou Rui got an ivory ivory carving from the Qing Dynasty - the Nine Dragons Winning Pearls Ivory Carving.

Ivory carving refers to a series of carvings on ivory, which is an ancient traditional art and a folk arts and crafts.

Ivory carving artwork, with solid and fine, soft and smooth texture, exquisite carving art, is cherished by collectors and has become one of the unique varieties of antiques.

Ivory is the strongest part of an elephant's body, and its smoothness is jade, durable, and precious as jade, so ivory has the reputation of being an organic gemstone.

Ivory is different from normal teeth. There is no enamel covering on its surface. Very afraid of acids. Strong acids can corrode it, and weak acids can soften it. If the ivory is soaked in acetic acid, it can be softened, and then used a knife or other tools to rotate and carve, often twice the result with half the effort.

Ivory is very expensive and very expensive.

So as a result, many hunters, for the sake of profit, carried out a brutal slaughter of elephants.

To protect elephants from killing, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora severely restricts the ivory trade.

However, because of its potential value, there are still many poachers who snipe elephants.

Then cut off the ivory directly.

It's brutal.

However, the ivory in Zhou Rui's hand is an object from the Qing Dynasty.

At that time, ivory was also precious, but it was not forbidden!
