Chapter 1056: National Treasure (6)
PS: There is a chapter finale later, as well as an afterword.
At this time, Wang Guan also understood what Qian Lao showed Yao Jing that day, so she agreed to Qian Lao's invitation and came to this secret base to study things.
As we all know, innovation is not easy. You must know that after thousands of years, the continuous research of ancient skilled craftsmen, the varieties of porcelain are very diverse, and they have been in a state similar to saturation.
Everyone knows the benefits of innovation, but before many famous porcelains, it is not easy to innovate. However, the color-changing glaze is different from the nine-color porcelain, which is indeed a remarkable innovation.
As long as things are created and perfected, I dare not say that there is no one before or since, but at least in contemporary times, it is something that has a sensational effect. It's no wonder that Yao Jing couldn't resist the temptation and willingly joined in.
After all, innovation is not something that can be created if you want to create, but must have a certain foundation. Obviously the foundation here is sufficient, and it's in the R&D stage, so it's a good time to cut in.
All in all, it is a good place to study technological innovation because of the need for technology, capital and capital, and no shortage of manpower and material resources. Yao Jing is in it, I'm afraid she will be like a fish in water.
Not only Yao Jing, but even Wang Guan, if at this time, Hou Lao invited him to join him again, he probably would not refuse immediately, but seriously consider the feasibility. This is also understandable, after all, along the way, what you see is only the tip of the iceberg of the secret base, and you can also imagine how many treasures are hidden here.
For Wang Guan, these treasures are also a great temptation.
At the same time, Yu Feibai was also curious: "Old Qian, where is the firewood kiln you said before?" ”
"In another room."
There was no need for Qian Lao to answer, Hou Lao led everyone to the next room. There are a lot of fine porcelain collections here, such as Yuan blue and white, Ming and Qing official kilns and so on. Even though everyone knows that this is an imitation, at first glance, it still feels pleasing to the eye.
Of course, the best porcelain among them is the firewood kiln porcelain vase that Qian Lao said.
What exactly the firewood kiln porcelain looks like, until there is no tangible evidence, everything is just a mystery, only from the adjectives left in the history books for people to guess.
"Blue as the sky, bright as a mirror, thin as paper, sound like chime."
"Moisturizing and delicate. There are fine lines, the fine color is different, and it is the crown of all kilns! ”
"Firewood kiln porcelain has not been available for a long time, and the fragments are also used as treasures and used as clothing and hat ornaments; The porcelain pieces of the firewood kiln are dazzling, like flying arrows. ”
All kinds of commentaries, after thousands of years of recitation, have gradually been deified. Until now. Firewood kiln porcelain is still divided in opinions, and there is no unified answer. However, Qian Lao and others dare to say that Mr. Zhu Da more than 20 years ago successfully copied the firewood kiln porcelain. Then there must be a complete certainty that the reproduced porcelain is very exquisite.
This is also a fact, under the signal of Hou Lao, everyone looked towards the firewood kiln porcelain. I saw a touch of clear, very warm, azure light came into view.
It's not just the light. In addition, the shape of the bottle is also very beautiful, giving people a sense of elegance and beauty. Especially under the background of the light, it is even more translucent. Looking at it from the side, it looks like it is transparent, which shows how thin the tire of the bottle is.
Of course, the most important thing is the glaze of the bottle, no matter which angle you look at, you can see a variety of colors, brilliant changing colors. If you look closely, you can see the flame of ruby, the amethyst-like spots, and the emerald green sea, which are colorful and beautiful
Anyway, it is similar to the king of gemstones, diamonds, sparkling with bizarre and dazzling fire. And this kind of light is not static, its color changes with the direction of the light or the angle of observation, even if the direction of the light and the angle of the light are not changed, as long as the eyes move, there will be a variety of colorful colors changing.
This magnificent and magical scene naturally amazed Wang Guan and others, and was full of praise. Seeing this situation, they finally understood why Qian Lao was so confident, and felt that Mr. Zhu Da had successfully copied the firewood kiln porcelain.
"Pretty, so pretty, so flawless."
At this time, Yu Feibai couldn't help but sigh: "I don't know what the real firewood kiln porcelain looks like, but I can be sure that this thing is definitely not inferior to the real firewood kiln porcelain, maybe it is even better." ”
Everyone understands Yu Feibai's subtext, which is nothing more than that the firewood kiln porcelain made by Mr. Zhu Da is no longer simply antique, but integrated into his own innovation, and the craftsmanship is even more ancient.
In this regard, Wang Guan and others did not refute it, but thought so. After all, Mr. Zhu Da brings together ancient and modern porcelain, and when he is simply antique, in order to pursue realism, it is inevitable to deliberately keep in line with ancient craftsmanship. But since there is no target for imitation of firewood kiln porcelain, then you can only explore and imagine it yourself.
Without the constraints of rules and regulations, Mr. Zhu Da naturally burst out with amazing creativity and fired beautiful firewood kiln porcelain. If someone says that this thing is more exquisite than ancient firewood kiln porcelain, everyone will not doubt it at all.
"In order to achieve such a perfect glaze, Hewei added pearls, agate, crystal, fire glass and other things to the glaze, and after tens of thousands of blending experiments, this bottle was fired by chance."
While speaking, Hou Lao sighed lightly: "It's a pity that he ...... not long after it was burned out."
Everyone was a little silent, and they also understood what Hou Lao meant. Not long after the thing burned out, the Mr. Zhu Da incident broke out, and Hewei simply broke himself. Maybe he knew that this day must come, so he would burn the firewood kiln.
Perhaps in his heart, he has had enough of simple antiquity. After all, compared with other ancient famous porcelain, only the firewood kiln is ethereal, which can allow him to play without worries. Sure enough, it was amazing to finally make such a masterpiece.
In the eyes of everyone, if there is no fake, with this one thing alone, Hewei can completely get rid of the shackles of his predecessors, form his own faction, and become a generation of grandmasters. It's just because I understand this that everyone sighs like this, it's a pity.
Of course, there is no if in everything, and since you have done something wrong, then you must be punished, which is an eternal truth. This is the rule that everyone has agreed on, if the rules are broken, but there is no damage, everyone will definitely not abide by the rules anymore, then the world will be chaotic a long time ago.
At this time, Hou Lao also found that these words were a little ruinous to the atmosphere, and immediately remedied: "By the way, a few steps further is the center of the base, do you want to take a look?" ”
"Go, definitely go!"
When Yu Feibai heard this, he immediately knew that there must be something good in the center, so he naturally nodded again and again.
"Let's go, then."
Hou Lao smiled, led the way in front again, and led everyone through a long passage, and his eyes suddenly opened up, and a very huge space appeared.
When Wang Guan and the others entered the space, they immediately found that the area here was very large, about three or four hundred square meters, and it was as high as four or five stories. Looking carefully, I saw that the ground was paved with bricks in the space, and there were twelve large pillars arranged in the middle, which was very spectacular.
Twelve pillars aside, the single room is a brick on the ground, and it is also something unusual. Wang Guan stepped on it, and after a little feeling, he knew that these bricks were special gold bricks for the Ming and Qing courts.
Wang Guan visited the Forbidden City a lot, and naturally knew the origin of the palace gold bricks. The emperor must be different from the common people, so the bricks used to repair the house must be very particular.
It can also be known from some cultural and historical materials that the firing process of gold bricks is very complex, and it takes huge financial and material resources from mud selection, brick making, fumigation, transportation, cutting and grinding, and paving. Each process is extremely exquisite, and the whole process takes up to nearly two years.
From ancient times to the present, everyone likes to use one or two gold bricks to describe the palace gold bricks. These things were not only very expensive in ancient times, but also not cheap in modern times. A brick in the Ming and Qing dynasties, if it has been handed down intact to the present, without a price of tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, I am afraid it will not be able to buy.
Of course, in Wang Guan's feeling, although these bricks on the ground are not ancient bricks, they are exquisite in craftsmanship and of excellent quality. However, as they slowly descended into the space, everyone's attention shifted from the floor to the twelve large pillars.
Just now, they were far away and couldn't see clearly, but now that they got closer, Wang Guan and the others found that the twelve pillars were even thicker than they imagined. It's like the Monkey King's golden hoop stick, standing upright at the top of the space.
Of course, the height of the pillars is not the point, the point is that among these tall pillars, there are also coiled golden dragons with teeth and claws, and the momentum is extraordinary. These golden dragons have different forms, but all of them are fierce and mighty, and they are carefully designed by the master at first glance, which is very magnificent.
It is also worth mentioning that these twelve large pillars are in space, forming a circle, and then enclosing a platform with a radius of more than ten meters in the middle. It's a gold brick again, and it's a dragon pillar, and the platform in the middle will naturally not be shabby.
Wang Guan looked carefully, and saw that the platform can be described as carved fence jade, but it is made of high-quality white marble, and carved many auspicious patterns. All in all, the environment here gives people a solemn and solemn feeling, as if it were an ancient imperial palace, majestic and magnificent.
But in this way, the layout here is rather strange, I don't understand what is the use of building such a building in a secret base? Is it a place to meet, or is it purely for viewing?
"There's something on stage."
At the same time, Wang Guan also found something, and saw that there seemed to be a few small cases in the platform. It's just that because the platform is relatively spacious and several cases are relatively low, I didn't notice it for a while. (To be continued......)
