This three-legged porcelain stove is unglazed at the end and has a vivid flint red, with kiln sand sticking to the end of one of the feet. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The mustache furnace is a more common antique vessel shape in the Song Dynasty, but the plum green products of Longquan kiln are the best.
Now the three-legged porcelain stove in the hands of Mo Xie is ancient and elegant, the lines are straight and straight, the glaze is soft, and the glaze is as green as jade, which perfectly combines practicality and artistry, and can be said to be an absolute treasure!
"What are you doing with this?" Seeing Mo Ye's choice, Mo Tianming glared directly.
Mo Ye was stunned, what's wrong with this?
"This is an incense burner, used for burning incense and sacrifices, our family doesn't need this!" Mo Tianming said.
"Sacrificial vessels? I thought it was a Dan furnace! Mo Xie said with a smile.
"Dan furnace, you are big, this thing is the incense burner that burns incense in the Taoist temple!" Mo Tianming said.
"How do you know that well?" Zhang Lingfeng asked.
"Of course I know, who doesn't use an incense burner to burn incense during the New Year?" Mo Tianming said.
"Then our family will use it too!" Mo Xie is not convinced.
"It's a scourge to take it home, and you don't need money, since you don't sell it, what are you doing with it? Showmanship? Mo Tianming glared at Mo Xie Dao again.
Mo Xie made a fuss, and naturally he was not convinced, so he immediately looked up the information, and at this glance, this thing is really good, and it is not only for burning incense, this is a practical device, and it does not have to burn incense.
There are poems as evidence: cut porcelain to make Ding Bi in water, cut silver for leaves as light as paper; is not civil, the firepower is even, and the curtain is closed. The poet burns himself with ancient ambergris, but there is no incense but no smoke; Frangipani suddenly smelled jasmine folding, low dragon musk deer and Shen Tan. I am full of the taste of mountains and forests in my life, and I can't help this fragrance is very charming; Hu'er is in a hurry to cook wood, but he is really rich as a scholar.
This is a poem of the famous poet Yang Wanli of the Southern Song Dynasty "Burning Incense", "Porcelain is made of blue water", which refers to the incense set that the poet chooses and likes - the incense burner, which is as green as water plum Qinglongquan celadon Ding furnace, a kind of celadon incense burner fired by the Longquan kiln in the Southern Song Dynasty based on the bronze ritual vessels of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and it is the Southern Song Dynasty Longquan celadon incense furnace in the hands of Mo Xie.
"Cutting silver for leaves is as light as paper", what is depicted and introduced is that the Song people used thin silver slices, or mica slices, as a method of incense to burn incense through fire.
"The fire is even, and the wind does not move when the curtain is closed" is the requirement for the poet to burn incense, the heat and fire of the incense burner, and the windless environment of "closing the curtain" when tasting incense.
"The poet burns ambergris by himself, but the incense does not see the smoke", this is the poet's description of the miraculous effect of using fire-proof incense.
"Frangipani suddenly heard the jasmine fold, and the dragon musk deer and Shen Tan in the low place." This is the poet's list of famous incense products that were popular in the Southern Song Dynasty and came from overseas exotic lands, such as "frangipani, jasmine, ambergris, musk, agarwood, sandalwood" and other famous incense products worth 10,000 gold to represent wealth.
"I am full of the taste of mountains and forests in my life, and I can't help but be very charming." For poets who advocate nature and are full of the taste of mountains and forests, the precious fragrance of "ambergris" is too charming and flushing the nose, which naturally violates his "nose" standard of appreciating fragrance and tasting incense.
"Hu'er is in a hurry to cook wood rhinos, but he is really rich as a scholar." In the face of the charming rich and famous fragrance "ambergris", the poet made a denial, so he urgently called on his son to quickly take the home-cooked ordinary "cooking wood rhino", an ordinary incense - osmanthus incense.
The last point puts forward his own life ideals, to be a person who travels in the mountains and forests without the intention of making a name for himself, which is the great realm of "true wealth" in life.
What kind of incense is "cooking wood rhino"? "Wood rhinoceros" incense is a homemade osmanthus fragrance from the mountains and forests and produced locally among the poor class and ordinary scholars at that time.
The method is that in the golden autumn, the osmanthus blooms but is not in full bloom, and its aroma is at its strongest, it is plucked, mixed with the holly seeds after waxing, juicing, drying and crushing, and then put it into a closed porcelain pot and steamed.
When the incense is burned, a little is dug up with a scent spoon and placed on the silver leaf to roast, its aroma is naturally faint, and it is full of the breath of natural pastoral mountains and forests.
Knowing this, Mo Ye's face bloomed, many of those medicinal materials were unknown to him, but now that he had a clear goal, he could easily distinguish them.
Frangipani, jasmine, ambergris, musk, agarwood, sandalwood, wood rhinoceros, there are several large boxes piled up here, and the most important thing is that there are books related to incense in the boxes.
Without opening the box to check, Mo Ye scanned the contents recorded in the book.
In the box containing the spices, the books naturally describe how the spices were collected, made, and burned.
Burning incense and reading books is a literati taste, Mo Xie is naturally not very interested, he is interested in the economic value of the inside.
The ancient secret recipe for making incense must have its value, although the productivity was low in ancient times, but the production method of people is absolutely natural, and it will not be like now, adding some messy things.
If it is in the era of economic underdevelopment, get these things, and you will enjoy self-production and self-consumption, but now it is different, especially for rich people, the pursuit of quality of life, this kind of idle egg pain of elegance, is the ultimate pursuit of modern people.
Mo Xie said his thoughts, and naturally no one objected to him bringing out an incense burner.
"When we go back this time, we must send someone to guard here!" While walking towards the meeting, Mo Tianming said.
"Don't bother, just leave it to me here!" Mo Xie walked at the back at this time, and when he walked out of the building model area, all the things in the darkness behind him had been put away by Mo Ye.
Mo Xie had already planned this, so he did it very simply, he had already said that the secret that the two people knew was not a secret, so he didn't want to test people's hearts, and he didn't want to give others a chance.
Of course, he didn't put everything away, such as the tablets that could prove the ancestral hall of the Zhang family, Mo Ye didn't move, although those tablets were all carved with gloomy wood, Mo Ye didn't put them away.
If it is exposed here, the ancestral shrine is the evidence of the Zhang family's exercise of power, of course, there must be some controversy in it, such as some ancestors of the Zhang family in modern times, they have inherited a lot of branches, so it is also a problem for Zhang Lingyun to fully control the inheritance.
"Leave it to the little evil!" Zhang Lingyun affirmed that he was not dazzled by the gold and silver treasures here, which was also rare.
"No matter what, you are all rich people, how are you going to deal with the things here, it's best to negotiate a charter, even if you have a quarter of our family, the rest is a huge amount of wealth, no matter how much you deal with, we will not be short of money in the future!" Mo Xie said, stopping.
Here has reached the passage he drilled, the passage is two-way, at this time change the passage, or slide downward.
Everyone got back on their skateboards and slowly slid forward, stumbling but much more than walking.
"If you really can't install the waiting car, it's the kind in the mine, similar to the ropeway crane!" Zhang Fengfu said.
"It's better to fix this passage!" Zhang Lingyun said.
"If you're not afraid of being exposed, this place can be linked to the original cave!" Zhang Lingfeng said.
"What's inside, I'll ask people to take inventory, the original data is in my mobile phone, it can not only scan, but also take pictures and videos, and when I scanned it just now, it has left an image.
Even if it's hidden in a vat or buried in the ground, it can be scanned, so just sort it out according to the pictures, and the data will come out! "Mo Xie has always been a villain first and then a gentleman, after all, he is a relative, and it is not good to make it look bad.
Besides, Mo Xie didn't think about corruption, so he really didn't need to be confused.
"There's no need to be so careful, but outsiders still need to pay attention when they come in, we can say it to our own people, outsiders see it, and they must make a difference!" Mo Tianming said.
Mo Xie laughed twice and said, "Don't worry, you just need to sort out the data, I promise that nothing will be missing!" ”
"Okay, I'll leave it to you, I'm tired today, I'm going to get a good night's sleep when I go home!" Zhang Lingyan said.
"It's bad, it's been a day when I come in, and no one has fed the cattle at home!" Zhang Linghui said worriedly.
Zhang Fengguo smiled and said, "Dad, don't worry, the family can still make the cow hungry?" ”
"We have money, so we don't have to work so hard in the future, right?" Zhang Fenglan said.
"What do you kid want to do? Are you still thinking of selling all these things? Didn't look at how the ancestors did it? The ancestors of each era will hide the good things of their time into the secret vault, so that the current secret vault will be formed. Zhang Lingyun reprimanded.
"Won't I just tell me?" Zhang Fenglin said with a wry smile.
"If you just have this heart, we won't give you this opportunity, so don't think too much, if you really want to daydream, think about how to make a career, and finally be able to add something to our Zhangjia secret vault!" Zhang Lingfeng looked at Mo Xie Dao at this time.
"Mom, what are you looking at me for? I'm not surnamed Zhang! "Mo Evil Dao.
"Then the baby here, don't touch your hands, you don't have the surname Zhang!" Zhang Lingfeng said with a smile.
Mo Ye also smiled: "If you don't want it, you don't want it, uncle and cousin's things, do you think I want it?" It's just that I'm afraid that they will think too much, so I will say that I want a little, in fact, I have more than 10 billion dollars in my hands, and hundreds of thousands of pieces of porcelain, which is not much worse than this treasure! ”
As soon as Mo Xie said this, the underground passage immediately fell into silence, and after a while, Zhang Fenglin spoke: "You can't be serious, right?" ”
Mo Xie said proudly: "Can this still lie to you?" Zhang Xiushui, you all know each other, the market value of the company she controls exceeds 2 billion yuan, and I also have an account abroad, where the capital definitely exceeds 10 billion US dollars! ”
