Chapter 132: Ji Xiaolan of Liuli Factory
Guo Liyang's identification of antiques to what extent Zhang Junyi does not know, but there is no problem with some of the introductions of the glaze factory, which can be seen that Guo Liyang has really put a lot of effort into the historical origin of the glaze factory.
Although he did not have the background to contact the hobby of collecting in his previous life, he also studied several well-known large-scale cultural relics trading markets in China through the Internet, including Yanjing's Liulichang and Panjiayuan.
Liulichang starts from the north and south willow lanes in the west and reaches Yanshousi Street in the east, with a total length of 800 meters.
Liaojin is called Haiwang Village, Yuan and Ming Dynasty opened an official kiln here to burn the glazed tiles used to build the palace, so it is called "glazed factory".
During the period from Kangxi to Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty, the famous cultural street that gradually formed the essence of antiques, the kiln was stopped during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, and the name of "Liulichang" has been retained to this day, which is a famous historical and cultural tourist attraction that displays Chinese traditional culture, especially calligraphy and painting art.
The first time Zhang Junyi heard the name of Liulichang in his previous life was because of the hit "Iron Tooth Copper Tooth Ji Xiaolan" on TV, although "Iron Tooth Copper Tooth Ji Xiaolan" is not a classic, but it is a work loved by the audience, and Zhang Junyi also chased this drama back then.
A paragraph in the first part of "Iron Tooth and Bronze Tooth Ji Xiaolan" The main story line of "The Strange Love of Red Mansions", Ji Yun protects the manuscript of "Dream of Red Mansions" and rehabilitates it.
The outline of the scene has mentioned Liulichang, a representative boundary of Yanjing, more than once.
In the court, He Shen presented the ancient inkstone of Dongpo to Qianlong, and Qianlong rewarded him with a yellow coat. Ji Xiaolan firmly thought that it was a fake, but unexpectedly, this was He Shen's plan, he deliberately cheated on the real thing, causing Ji Xiaolan to look away, and He Shen took the opportunity to ask Ji Xiaolan to wear a yellow coat for him.
Ji Xiaolan told Qianlong that he also saw a Dongpo thing in Liulichang, so Qianlong ordered Ji Xiaolan to buy it quickly, otherwise he had to change Heshen's clothes and take off his boots, and Ji Xiaolan temporarily avoided the humiliation of dressing Heshen.
Ji Xiaolan and Du Xiaoyue went to the glaze factory to find a way, and Shen then arrived, Ji Xiaolan found Dongpo pen wash on the stall, and when he went home to get the silver, He Shen bought things in advance, but in fact, this so-called Dongpo pen wash is fake, Ji Xiaolan is in the pit and Shen.
Although many plots of the TV series "Iron Tooth and Bronze Tooth Ji Xiaolan" are fictional, Liulichang is indeed a place where many literati and ink writers make friends and hang out during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty.
After Ji Xiaolan entered the rank in the nineteenth year of Qianlong, she was very much used by Qianlong because of her outstanding talent. However, because of his clever tricks, he reported to his in-laws who would be raided for violating the law, which angered Qianlong, and he was assigned to WLMQ to fill the army. Because of his talent, he was recalled two years later and waited for His Majesty to see him.
In the process of waiting, he read Li Wenzao's "Liulichang Bookstore" and learned that Li Wenzao had been promoted to a higher position after buying a copy of "GD Xinyu" at the Shengyaotang Bookstore in Liulichang a few years ago. This bookstore was opened about ten years in Qianlong, and the plaque of "Shengyaotang" was written by the shopkeeper himself, which was quite improvised.
Ji Xiaolan has not yet been reinstated, and he is dressed normally, and the shopkeeper and his apprentices don't know his identity, but they just politely pick books with him. After he chose a few books at random, he sat down to rest, took out a big cigarette pouch, and chatted with the shopkeeper while smoking: "A few years ago, a Jinshi Li Wenzao came to you to buy books, and after buying a copy of "GD Xinyu", he was promoted to the Tongzhi of Guilin Prefecture. It can be seen that the books you sell can really bring people some good luck. The shopkeeper replied: "There are many scholars and bachelors who come to us to buy books, and many of them have become officials. But we still sell our books as usual, and not many people make a fortune by selling them. ”
Ji Xiaolan deliberately wanted to show her identity: "I, a book buyer, don't have much money, I choose a few books, I'm afraid the money I bring with me is not enough, can I write you an IOU?" The shopkeeper was very polite: "You just take the book, when is it convenient for you to bring us the book money again." Ji Xiaolan said: "I don't want to write an IOU for you, I want to write a few words and leave a mark for you, find me a big piece of paper and bring a big pen." ”
The shopkeeper prepared according to his wishes, and called his apprentices to study the ink. Ji Xiaolan instructed that only one direction was allowed to be studied, and it was not allowed to grind back and forth, and the little apprentice carefully complied. After the ink was studied, Ji put down the cigarette pouch, picked up the big pen and waved it boldly, the three big characters of "Shengyaotang" were completed in one go, and the pen was full of ink, which was very magnificent. He changed to a trumpet pen and wrote it in line: "Ji Xiaolan".
When the shopkeeper saw it, he was first surprised and then delighted, and hurriedly thanked him: "I don't know if Master Ji is here, I really treat it slowly, I treat it slowly, please bear with me." The shopkeeper hurriedly found the famous craftsman of the glaze factory, made a plaque with gold characters on the bottom of the black lacquer, and quietly took off the original plaque, beat the gong and drum on the auspicious day, and set off the firecrackers, and hung the new plaque inscribed by Ji Yun, which caused a sensation in the glaze factory.
Soon, Ji Xiaolan was promoted again, and in the 38th year of Qianlong, he also became the chief compiler of the "Siku Quanshu". Shengyaotang, which hung a plaque inscribed by Ji Xiaolan, had a very good business and flourished for a while. The book industry, antique industry, and South Paper industry of Liulichang have prospered, and the prototype of the cultural street has gradually taken shape......
In the Qing Dynasty, most of the Han officials lived outside the Xuanwu Gate to the west of Liulichang, and the guild halls where the examinees lived were also nearby. They had a great demand for books, so Liulichang became the largest book market in the capital at that time.
During the Qianlong period, the "Siku Quanshu" was repaired, and scholars from all over the country set up stalls and shops here one after another, selling a large number of books, which promoted the development of Liulichang Cultural Street. By the second year of Guangxu, the number of bookstores had grown to more than 270. In the early years of the Republic of China, there were nearly 200 shops and workshops dealing in cultural commodities, forming a cultural street that was well-known at home and abroad.
In 1980, the state carried out a large-scale renovation and expansion of the old and obsolete Liuli Long Street, which was completed in 1984. 59 simple and elegant, rich in traditional national style shops, with a total construction area of 34,000 square meters, integrating books, jade, ceramics, carving, bronze, calligraphy and painting, and the four treasures of the study as one of the high-grade cultural and artwork distribution center and ancient capital style tourist area.
Since 2002, from the first day of the Lunar New Year to the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the "Changdian Folk Culture Temple Fair" has been resumed. It mainly displays Yanjing culture, Xuannan culture, revisits the people's pleasures, shows the style of the times, and reproduces the charm of the ancient capital.
The temple fair integrates tourism, leisure and entertainment, shopping and catering, and is characterized by an open "catch up with the big set", which is composed of theatrical performances, flower parades, craft displays, catering services, sightseeing and shopping, entertainment and amusement and other forms, and has become the most lively and popular place during the Chinese Spring Festival.
