PS: It's Tanabata, and I still have to work the code word, and I ask for a monthly pass to comfort me.

Wang Guan's tone was very affirmative, you must know that Pei Shimin is Pei Hongquan's grandfather. It would be very strange if there were no works by Master Pei Shimin in his collection room.

As expected, when Pei Hongquan heard this, he immediately chuckled and said, "...... over here"

Under Pei Hongquan's prompting, Wang Guan took the opportunity to look over, only to see a purple clay pot placed on a shelf. I saw that the body of the pot was finely made, the shape was like a peach and not a peach, and the branches and leaves of the body of the pot were elegant, with five longevity peaches and two bats; On the other side, a pair of bats are pasted, and a vertical peach leaf is decorated with three small peaches. The color of the whole purple clay pot is dark red like gold, but it is a five-manta peach pot made by Master Pei Shimin's art when it reached its peak.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, in the early fifties, Master Pei Shimin's pot art has reached the state of perfection, and the classic masterpieces such as the five-manta peach pot, the cow cover lotus seed pot, the three-legged tripod pot, and the string top Qin bell pot have come out one after another at this stage.

Because the format of these purple clay pots is too famous, Wang Guan took a look at it and recognized the five-manta peach pot, and while watching it intently, he couldn't help but ask: "Master Pei, can you get started?" ”

Pei Hongquan hesitated slightly, then nodded lightly and said, "No problem, just be careful." ”

At this time, Wang Guan was a little happy, carefully picked up the five-manta peach pot, and then gently placed it on the table next to him, and then watched it carefully, and the lid of the pot was separated. Put the lid aside first, and then look carefully at the body of the pot, and you can immediately feel the subtlety of this five-manta peach pot.

It is said that in the 60s of the last century, when creating the cartoon "Havoc in Heaven", a group of old artists were so worried that they almost lost their gray hair in order to conceive the appearance of Monkey King. Later, I finally thought that the monkey's favorite peach would outline the face of the Monkey King, which gave rise to the image of the Monkey King that everyone thinks is the most classic.

This five-manta peach pot is similar, similar to a large peach. Recessed cover. There is a circle of lines on the edge of the mouth. The spout, or flow, is made of three-bent peach piles. The other is to put it, as if it is a curled peach branch, the branches are sophisticated and crisp, and there is no carving. It is comfortable to stroke, easy to pour tea, and will not slip your hands.

Anyway, the whole pot is novel in shape, and it is full of simple and natural atmosphere, which is worthy of being a classic.

"Beautiful. It's so beautiful. Wang Guan was amazed, and he felt a little in love.

"Do you like it?"

At the same time, Pei Hongquan apologized: "But this thing is a relic of the ancestor, I have the last one left, and I don't plan to sell it, so I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Xiaoyou." ”

"That's it." When Wang Guan heard this, he sighed with some regret.

"Wang Guan, in fact, I think this pot is not bad." At this moment, Xing Qiu pointed to a purple clay pot in the shape of a teapot next to him and smiled: "Look." The body of the pot is full of paintings. ”

"Oh?"

Wang glanced at it, and was suddenly a little surprised: "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map." ”

"That's right, it's Fuchun Mountain Jutu." Seeing that the two were interested, Pei Hongquan immediately introduced: "And you have to look carefully." It's not one pot, it's two. ”

While speaking, Pei Hongquan went up to mention it, and the full moon-shaped round pot really separated. Two semi-circular purple clay pots are formed.

At the right time, Wang Guan also saw very clearly, after the merged purple clay pot was divided into two. The body of the pot formed two different pictures, and it also made him understand the special meaning of the two semi-circular pots.

A round pot is divided into two semi-circular pots, half of which depicts the leftover mountains of the mainland, and the other half depicts the useless master scroll of the National Palace in Taipei. The handle of the pot is made of bamboo rattan and white jade, and the lid of the pot is inlaid with jasper, which fully reflects the same root and blood connection of the people on both sides of the strait.

The above is Pei Hongquan's explanation, which also confirms that Wang Guan's guess is correct. Immediately, Pei Hongquan chuckled again: "This is my friend's work, if you really like it, you can take it away." ”

"Book first, and then move on to other things." Wang Guan smiled, and continued to admire other purple clay pots.

At this moment, Wang Guan's eyes lit up, and he quickly stepped forward to a shelf, only to see a purple clay pot shaped like a ball and a lion squatting on the lid. It goes without saying that this pot is the famous lion ball pot.

Wang Guan looked carefully, only felt that the color of this pot was purple and pure, the body of the pot was high and full, the curvature was curvy, the neck was high and crisp, and the lid was sunflower-like. The twist on the cover was molded into a crouching lion holding a hydrangea, which is often said to be a lion, full of fun.

In addition, there is an inscription on the pot, which is the body of the Wei tablet, and the four characters of the jade drop are very eye-catching. One of the characters is not a stroke, but 弌, a variant of a word. From the small details, you can know that the pot maker is very careful.

After all, among the four characters, only one word has the simplest stroke, which is asymmetrical with the other three words. However, if you use a capital one, it seems too cumbersome, so I use this word. The jade drip swallowed, looking very comfortable.

Details determine success or failure, this is not an exaggeration, the workmanship of this lion ball pot is very exquisite, and with this inscription that makes people feel very comfortable to look at, it can be described as perfect.

After looking at it carefully for a while, Wang Guan turned around and smiled: "This is your work, master, right?" ”

"That's right." Pei Hongquan nodded lightly and said with a modest smile: "But this is an antique pot, imitating the lion ball pot of my ancestor Jiang Zhiqing." It's a pity that there are only seven or eight points of similarity, which is far worse than the ancestor. ”

"The master is too humble......"

Maybe Pei Hongquan is telling the truth, but Wang Guan will definitely not nod directly, on the contrary, he will praise a few words. Besides, people's things are really good, and the craftsmanship is also very exquisite, which is a rare and good pot.

Write it down, it's a second choice......

After Wang Guan nodded, he continued to watch other purple clay pots, and Pei Hongquan did not feel impatient, because Wang Guan would also comment on them when he was watching. As for the good place of the purple clay pot and what kind of situation the process is, it can be said that it is the first thing, so that Pei Gangquan has a sense of bosom friend.

The pleasure of collecting things is not only for the value of things, but also for watching and playing alone, and the most important thing is that when you communicate with others, you must be full of a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction when you see the envy and exclamation of others.

Pei Hongquan is similar, he thinks Wang Guan is a real expert. Unlike some people, who are full of copper smell, they only ask about the authenticity of the pot after coming in, and whether it is the work of the master, how much it can be worth, and they don't know how to appreciate the connotation of pot art at all.

It was with such a thought that Pei Hongquan not only didn't care about Wang Guan's actions of watching the purple clay pots one by one, but even elaborated enthusiastically in detail, which really made Xingqiu next to him envious, jealous and hateful. He wanted to interject, but the problem was that he didn't know much about the art of purple clay pots, and he was afraid of being embarrassed, so he simply kept silent.

"Hey, what is this?"

After a long time, Wang Guan looked at the purple clay pot in the room as if he was looking at the flowers. At this moment, he suddenly noticed that on the shelf in the corner, there was something "different".

The main reason why it is different is that it is not a purple clay pot, but a cup-shaped utensil. The most important thing is that compared with the purple clay pot next to it that is either bright or long-lasting, the sale of this thing is much different.

It looks like a clay-like color, and the surface looks very rough and has no luster at all. It looks lifeless, without any sense of life at all. It is worth mentioning that the height of the cup is about six or seven centimeters, but the diameter is nearly ten centimeters. If there is no handle to determine that this is a cup, otherwise it can be directly used as a bowl.

However, what makes Wang Guan feel even more strange is how such a poor-looking thing can appear in Pei Hongquan's collection? You must know that judging from most of the collections in the room, Pei Hongquan obviously believes in the principle of non-boutique and non-collectible, why did he suddenly make an exception?

Wang Guan would not suspect that Pei Hongquan had inadvertently misplaced something, because even if the thing was resting in the corner, compared to the purple clay pot next to it, this thing was too abrupt, like a little red in the green bushes, which was very obvious. Otherwise, Wang Guan would not have discovered the existence of things at a glance.

At the same time, when he saw this thing, Pei Hongquan also frowned imperceptibly, and then explained with a smile: "This is something handed down from the ancestors, it may be Xiang Shengsi's peach cup." ”

"Huh?"

As soon as Wang Guan heard this, he immediately reined in his mind and observed it carefully.

Xiang Shengsi is not a simple person, he is a purple clay pot master in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, and some people think that his skills can be compared with Feng Chun, Shi Dabin and others. However, it is a pity that legend has it that he was a monk and not a professional potter, so his works are very rare. The only heirloom is a peach-shaped cup, which can be called a purple sand god.

After careful inspection, Wang Guan found that the thing in front of him was indeed a peach cup, and the body of the cup was like a plump and fat peach being cut by branches, and the mouth of the cup was like a peach. The shape is good, but the appearance is too poor, and it is easy to overlook the craftsmanship. But then again, the color of an object is part of the process.

For example, the purple sand utensils collected in the room have square, round, square circle, melon prism, eggshell shape, etc., anyway, only you can't think of it, and there is no shape that the purple sand pot master can't make.

As for the color, it is varied, after high temperature firing, it presents a variety of strange colors, including cinnabar red, jujube red, copper, begonia red, iron gray lead, sunflower yellow, dark green, blue orchid and so on.

Although the purple clay pot is not glazed, it is better than glazed, and the color changes strangely and colorfully. Among them, purple but not beautiful, red but not beautiful, green but not tender, yellow but not delicate, gray but not dark, black but not ink is the best.

All in all, the shape and color complement each other, but the peach cup in front of me is not the color at all, and it is dull, so that people have no desire to watch and play...... (To be continued......)
