Chapter 112: The Glory of the Glaze Factory (1)
Everyone walked on the streets of Liulichang, and the streets were full of bustling crowds, and there were people like Zhang Junyi and others who were sightseeing, and more of them loved to collect literati. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although Zhang Junyi was engaged in financial network editing in his previous life, he had a different hobby for antique calligraphy and painting, but because of his shyness, he could only taste it.
After all, if you want to become an antique collector, you not only need to be quite knowledgeable about antique collecting, but most importantly, you need a huge self to rely on.
No one can become an antique expert at an early stage, and paying tuition fees is quite normal for an antique lover.
Not to mention the 21st century in later generations, even in the 80s now, a decent antique calligraphy and painting cannot be taken down without a few thousand dollars.
If you can't do it in your eyes, I'm sorry, you only blame you for not being good at learning arts, you can only pay tuition, and the current era of thousands of expenses has been higher than the salary of ordinary people who don't eat or drink for several years.
You don't see the famous antique collectors in later generations, almost five or six out of ten are famous and rich.
Although Zhang Junyi in his previous life could only be regarded as a beginner for antique collection because of his lack of money, he still learned about the history of Liulichang from books.
During the Shunzhi period in the early Qing Dynasty, the "Manchu and Han sub-city residences" were implemented in Kyoto.
And the Liulichang is precisely in the west of the outer city, most of the Han officials at that time lived nearby, and later the guild halls from all over the country were also built nearby, and the officials and the examiners often gathered here to visit the book market, so that the Ming Dynasty was prosperous at the front gate, the entrance of the lamp market and the city god temple book market in the west city were gradually transferred to the Liulichang. Booksellers from all over the country have also set up stalls, built offices, and sold large collections of books here.
The bustling market and convenient conditions have formed a "Kyoto Elegant Tour", which has gradually developed into the largest book market in Beijing, forming a cultural market where humanities gather, and culture-related pen, ink, paper, inkstone, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, etc., have also developed.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, a normal school was built on the site of the original Liuli Factory, which was the predecessor of the current High School Attached to Normal University. Haiwang Village Park was built to the south of the original factory site, which became the center of the Liulichang market and one of the most lively places in the factory later.
In 1927, the Peace Gate was built and Xinhua Street was repaired, and since then, Liulichang Cultural Street has been divided into today's East Liulichang and West Liulichang.
When it comes to the glaze factory, Zhang Junyi's first thought is the century-old store in the glaze factory---- Rong Bao Zhai.
Even in the 21st century in later generations, Rong Bao Zhai is the most representative century-old antique shop in China's antique collection culture, and even the later Rong Bao Zhai has the name of "Folk Forbidden City".
Although it is possible that this statement is a little exaggerated, it also has to show that Rong Bao Zhai occupies an important position in the antique world, as well as its huge influence.
Zhang Junyi in the previous life, Yu Rong Bao Zhai, a well-known century-old antique shop, just stayed at the door and looked inside, and didn't even dare to go in.
It's not that he won't be allowed to enter, but Zhang Junyi doesn't have the confidence to go in, after all, all the savings in his pocket may not be able to afford to buy a single thing inside, so Zhang Junyi is embarrassed to go in.
This time when he came to Liulichang, what Zhang Junyi wanted to do most was to take a good look at this century-old shop known as the "Folk Forbidden City" - Rong Bao Zhai.
Speaking of Rong Bao Zhai, after the liberation, under the care of the party and the government, some of the traditional crafts of Rong Bao Zhai shine.
Rong Bao Zhai's reproduction and printing technology has reached the "peak, similar to the original", which is enough to be fake. Rong Bao Zhai's copied masterpieces such as "Wenyuan Map", "Qingming Riverside Map", etc., have been exhibited in many countries, causing countless famous artists to marvel, and enjoy a high reputation in the world.
When Mr. Qi Baishi, a famous master of Chinese painting, was alive, he could hardly distinguish which one was his original and which one was a copy.
Zhang Junyi and several people went to Rong Bao Zhai's position under the leadership of the entourage arranged by the mainland government.
Rong Bao Zhai is very large, some small and medium-sized shops on the glaze factory and Rong Bao Zhai are like a small river to the ocean, there is no comparison at all.
Rong Bao Zhai has a total of three floors, the hall on a single floor is more than ten times larger than some shops in Liulichang, the hall is very clean, and there are many displays blocked by glass cabinets, which makes Zhang Junyi feel that this is not an antique shop at all, but rather a museum.
Zhang Junyi couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Rong Bao Zhai really deserves its name.
Zhang Junyi and others entered the gate of Rong Bao Zhai, one of the two entourages, walked to the side of Rong Bao Zhai staff, whispered a few words in his ear, and showed his work ID, and the staff walked back after listening.
After a while, the staff came over with a man who looked to be in his fifties and was of medium height, who looked like he should be a manager of Rong Bao Zhai.
The man walked over, first glanced at Zhang Junyi and several people with his eyes, and with his eyesight, he found that among Zhang Junyi's handful of people, although Zhang Junyi was the youngest, judging by his experience, Zhang Junyi definitely occupied the main position among these people.
The middle-aged man walked straight in front of Zhang Junyi, stretched out his hand and introduced himself: "Sir, welcome to Rong Bao Zhai, than Su Zhan, the manager of Rong Bao Zhai, I am happy to serve you!"
"Hello Manager Su, I'm Zhang Junyi, I came from Xiangjiang, and I have heard the name of Rong Bao Zhai in Xiangjiang, which is really worthy of the name!" Zhang Junyi shook hands with Su Zhan Wang, and then said.
Su Zhan Zhan heard Zhang Junyi introduce himself and said that he came from Xiangjiang, his eyes couldn't help but be a car, from the posture of Zhang Junyi's group of people, Su Zhan Zhan could not easily guess that Zhang Junyi was a wealthy businessman in Xiangjiang, after all, if it was not like this, the government could not arrange staff to accompany him.
"This is definitely a big customer, if you get it right, today's turnover may be able to set a record!" Su Zhan thought in his heart.
Although Su Zhan was very happy in his heart, the expression on his face kept the same smile, and he first led everyone to the rest area and served tea for everyone.
After Zhang Junyi and his entourage sat down and everyone exchanged pleasantries for a while, Su Zhan first introduced the history of Rong Bao Zhai to Zhang Junyi and others.
Rong Bao Zhai took the meaning of "meeting friends with the text, Rong name Bao" was founded, the predecessor of Rong Bao Zhai "Songzhu Zhai" was founded in 1672, renamed Rong Bao Zhai in 1894, has a history of more than 300 years. In 1950, the public-private partnership, "Rong Bao Zhai Xinji" was established. In 1952, Rong Bao Zhai was transferred to the state-owned company, and the name of the trade was based on Guo Moruo's inscription "Rong Bao Zhai".
