Chapter 892: Yongle Sweet White
PS: In the last few hours of the National Day double monthly pass event, I ask for the monthly pass to support it, thank you.
Under the guidance of the security guards, Wang Guan and Yu Feibai walked in calmly. After passing the door, I saw a spacious lounge inside. The interior space is elegantly decorated, with several feng shui trees and a large oval fish tank.
At this moment, there are three goldfish in the fish tank, with big heads, narrow bodies, and broom-like scissor tails, which are swimming slowly in the water, and naturally there is an indescribable deformed beauty.
Of course, this is not the point, the point is that next to the fish tank, there is a coffee table, and seven or eight delicately woven bamboo and rattan chairs are placed around it. When Wang Guan and Yu Feibai walked in, seven or eight people were sitting around the coffee table, not drinking tea and chatting, but watching something.
However, when they heard the movement, these people naturally looked back. Seeing that it was Wang Guan and Yu Feibai, many people were stunned. Then one of the gray-haired, somewhat fat old men spoke, with a look of hesitation on his face: "Who are you?" ”
Huh, don't know? That's easy to do.
In an instant, an entourage standing in the corner, similar to a secretary, walked out, with a bit of arrogance in his eyes, but his tone was quite polite and said: "Two gentlemen, I'm sorry, this is a private forbidden place. If there's nothing else to do, please go back. ”
"Kong Lao, they are my friends."
At this moment, Yuwei, who was sitting at the end, hurriedly smiled: "They should have come to me." ”
"No, we're not looking for you."
At this time, Yu Feibai shook his head and retorted, but it made Yuwei and the others stunned.
"Qian Lao, Zhou Lao, Chang Lao......"
At this time, Wang Guan greeted with a smile, and among the seven or eight people sitting around the coffee table, they knew at least half of them, and naturally they were not worried about being driven out as villains.
"Wang Guan, you're back so soon?"
Zhou Lao smiled. Immediately beckoned: "It's just right to come, I'll introduce you to someone......"
"Old Zhou, and me, let's say hello too." Yu Feibai complained, bypassed the secretary directly, and then walked over, looked at the fat old man curiously, and suddenly smiled: "No need to introduce, this old gentleman should be the owner of this museum, Kong Lao." ”
"You're smart." Zhou Lao smiled, and then signaled, "Brother Kong." This young man with a hippie smile is Ling Xi's junior Yu Feibai. The personality is more jumpy, you have to bear with it. ”
"Where is ......" Mr. Kong waved his hand lightly and said with a smile: "What a talent." ”
"How does it sound like I'm just showing me?" Yu Feibai muttered.
Everyone knows that if you praise a talent when you meet for the first time, then it must be polite words.
But Yu Feibai feels that talents are talents, and don't add more tables. After all, it's useless to be handsome in appearance, the key is to have connotation. In a word. Sentimental!
"People are praising you."
Qian Lao glanced sideways, and said a little embarrassed: "The discipline is not strict, which makes Brother Kong laugh." ”
"This is the heart of a child!"
Mr. Kong's smile was a little more sincere, and he nodded approvingly: "It's rare." Rare ......"
Hearing this, Yu Feibai became even more unhappy. What is Akako? To put it bluntly, it's an ignorant little doll. Would you be glad that you are described as an ignorant child?
Of course, if you are not happy, you will not be happy. Yu Feibai still learned his lesson and stopped squeaking, so as not to be hit again. Anyway, he had already begun to wonder if Mr. Kong had said this on purpose. After all, it's not impossible. Suddenly, he labeled Mr. Kong as a treacherous and slippery old man in his heart.
"What about this young man?"
At the same time, Mr. Kong looked at Wang Guan and said curiously: "It is also Ling Xi's junior." ”
"Almost."
Zhou Lao said with a smile: "But it seems that there are more apprentices of his." ”
"Apprentice?" Mr. Kong was stunned, and immediately smiled: "The so-called famous teacher produces a high apprentice, which can be valued by Brother Qian, and his appreciation ability must be extraordinary." ”
This is true, in the more traditional industry, not only students pick teachers, teachers are also picking students. Students want to learn from famous teachers, and famous teachers also want to find a smart, diligent and studious student to teach. Speaking of which, this is also a complementary thing, and over time, the term "famous teacher and high apprentice" was cast.
"It's really good, there is a trend that the blue is better than the blue."
At the same time, there was also a bit of envy in Chang Lao's voice. He also brought several apprentices, the earliest one has been with him for 20 years, and now he has opened his own shop and business, and he is also well-known in Panjiayuan. However, he also knew that this apprentice's life was estimated to stop here, and there was no possibility of surpassing him.
For a true master and apprentice, it is a pity that the apprentice who is carefully taught cannot surpass himself, no matter how you look at it. Therefore, for Qian Lao to easily accept an apprentice who can inherit the mantle and have the possibility of surpassing himself, Chang Lao is still very envious and jealous, and always sighs secretly why he doesn't have such an opportunity......
"Chang Lao said and laughed, I'm still far away."
At this time, Wang Guan smiled modestly, and his eyes also looked towards the table, and at first glance he was a little distracted.
"What, you've found something good?"
Noticing Wang Guan's demeanor, Zhou Lao suddenly smiled and said: "The eyes are sharp, comparable to the fiery eyes of Sun Monkey." ”
"What's good?"
Yu Feibai's eyes lit up when he heard the sound, and he naturally observed it, only to see some tea sets on the coffee table. With his eyesight, he could naturally see that although these tea sets were good, they were just good crafts.
Wait, no......
Suddenly, Yu Feibai found that among the seven or eight teacups, there was a small white porcelain bowl hidden. He hurriedly looked at it, and felt that the small bowl was very obvious in the teacup, as if it stood out from the crowd, and it was scattered in the sunlight with a faint and timeless, elegant and subtle snow luster, which looked very beautiful and exquisite.
"So white...... Is it Dehua white porcelain? ”
After a glance, Yu Feibai guessed, his eyes were full of joy when he saw the hunt. First of all, he didn't think that Qian Lao and others would take an irrelevant small bowl to get the eye on when drinking tea, and secondly, Zhou Lao also said that there were good things on the coffee table. Based on these two reasons, he was naturally able to judge that this small white porcelain bowl was definitely not simple.
It's a pity that I can't get started, but just looking at the glaze of the small bowl is moist and moist, like the brilliance of mutton fat and jade, it is enough to make Yu Feibai a little impatient. The urge to pick it up and study it is raised.
"It's not Dehua white porcelain."
At the same time, Wang Guan shook his head and retorted, and said thoughtfully: "This degree of whiteness is somewhat different from Dehua white porcelain. I haven't seen a small bowl like this, but I've seen a cup in Uncle De's collection. ”
"The glaze of that cup is crystal white, the color is warm and moist like jade, and the carcass is as thin as an eggshell, which is extremely light. Both the glaze and the color are comparable to this small bowl, so I feel that they should be the same variety. ”
Between words. Wang Guan laughed softly: "Yongle is sweet and white! ”
"Ahh Is it really Yongle Sweet White? ”
After Yu Feibai was stunned for a moment, a surprised expression appeared on his face. You must know that porcelain is also divided into grades, antique insiders know that China's official kiln porcelain is expensive in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the Ming Dynasty imperial kiln porcelain is "Yongbai (Yongle sweet white), Xuanqing (Xuande blue and white), Chengcai (Chenghua Doucai)" as the top.
The development of white porcelain in China can be traced back to the Eastern Han Dynasty, or earlier. However, the real scale was formed, and the porcelain was burned to a snow-white color, in the Tang Dynasty. this period. The white porcelain fired in the torture kiln of the Tang Dynasty has a white fetus and a smooth glaze, and the fetal glaze has not seen the phenomenon of flashing yellow or bluish in the white.
Next, white porcelain continued to develop. After five dynasties, the Dingyao white porcelain of the Northern Song Dynasty, as well as the Shufu glazed porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty, and finally to the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, the technical accumulation of white porcelain has reached its peak. Then he pioneered the firing of a semi-detached white porcelain. This white porcelain carcass is thinner, the glaze is soft, and the glaze color is like cotton and white sugar. That's why it's called sweet white.
However, it should also be noted that sweet white is just an image name, in fact, sweet white porcelain is also known as white porcelain, and white glaze is a process of making porcelain, and there are also differences between the two, which cannot be confused.
"Is it really Yongle sweet white porcelain?"
At this moment, after knowing the preciousness of the thing, Yu Feibai was not calm, rubbed his hands and asked, "Can you let us see?" ”
"Don't be in such a hurry, make people laugh." Qian Lao shook his head with a chuckle, and gestured: "This is Brother Kong's treasure, and I also want to ask for people's opinions." ”
Yu Feibai was as good as a stream, and immediately turned his head and asked, "Mr. Kong, don't you mind letting us watch, right?" ”
"Absolutely." Mr. Kong nodded happily and said with a smile: "This is the collection, and sooner or later it will have to be put out for everyone to enjoy." Now it's just a matter of asking a few big experts to help you see the authenticity. So as not to take imitation fakes as treasures, and laugh at the generous home. ”
"Brother Kong is too worried."
Chang Lao shook his head and said: "Such a treasure can be passed down intact, which is also rare and rare. One thing counts as one, and it really can't be fake. ”
"Chang Lao, we haven't watched it yet, don't spoil it." Yu Feibai was a little dissatisfied, and then carefully picked up the Yongle sweet white bowl and watched it carefully.
I saw that the mouth of the small bowl was skimmed outward, and the tire wall was extremely thin, which was a typical bowl type of Yongle official kiln. The most important thing is that the crystal clear tire wall can shine with light and shadow, and the glaze is white and delicate, just like fresh sucrose, which makes people feel a little sweet when they see it.
"Yongle sweet white porcelain, it really lives up to its reputation. It is no wonder that the Yongle Emperor had a soft spot for sweet white porcelain, even if it was the Hetian jade bowl offered by the Northwest Region, he did not like it, and preferred the sweet white porcelain bowl. Yu Feibai sighed, looked at it repeatedly, and couldn't put it down.
Yu Feibai's words also have a source, according to the records of Ming Taizong, Yongle returned to the jade bowl in the fourth year, and he did not accept it, and ordered the Ministry of Rites to give sand back. Zheng Ci said: The Chinese porcelain used in my day and night is clean and clear, and it is very suitable for the heart, so there is no need for this. Besides, this thing is also available in the treasury today, but I don't need it.
Emperor Yongle felt that compared to sweet white porcelain, the crystal and warm jade objects looked tacky. It can be seen that in the mind of Emperor Yongle, the value of sweet white porcelain is much more precious than gold, silver, pearl and jade, and it is a rare treasure.
Things were so precious in the Ming Dynasty, so it is needless to say that they have been handed down to modern times, anyway, they are the treasures and famous porcelain that collectors of all generations have dreamed of...... (To be continued......)
