Chapter 931: The Treasure of Kiln Transformation
PS: Three more ask for a monthly pass, please support more, thank you.
“…… I found that the smoke in the bottle was floating, but I couldn't find the reason for it. The man tried to break a plum blossom and put it in the bottle, but found that even if there was no water in the bottle, the flower showed no signs of withering, and it could draw new shoots......
While speaking, the big expert sighed: "When I first saw this record, I thought it was just a fictional conjecture of the literati at that time, but after studying porcelain a lot, I realized that there was such a thing before, and now when I see this bottle, I can finally be sure." ”
At the same time, the big expert couldn't help but complain: "Brother Qian, we've known each other for seven or eight years, you have such a treasure in hand, and you didn't reveal any words, it really shouldn't be." ”
"Brother Lu is so right, he should be blamed and condemned." Someone chimed in, and then laughed again: "But before that, I'm more curious about how the bottle can have such an effect?" There is no water and the branches sprout are too mysterious. ”
Hearing this, many people nodded their heads in deep agreement. As we all know, water and soil are the root of plants, and in the absence of soil, there is enough water to nourish them, and water-loving plants really do not wither quickly, and can even draw roots and sprout. However, it is doubtful that plants can still survive in the absence of soil and water.
"The reason for this ......"
Facing everyone's questioning eyes, the big expert paused, but said lightly: "I just know what it is, I don't know why, what is going on, you still have to ask Brother Qian." He has been in his hands for forty years, and even if there is any mystery, he must have studied it thoroughly. ”
All of a sudden, everyone's eyes looked at Qian Lao, hoping that he could explain clearly.
"Actually, there's nothing to say." At this time, Qian Lao smiled and said, "You don't have to imagine how magical things are. Speaking of which, this is just a masterpiece of kiln transformation. ”
"Kiln change?"
For a moment, many people were a little stunned and fell into deep puzzlement.
There were many experts present, so they naturally knew what kiln change was. In written language, it is explained that when the utensils are fired in the kiln, because the kiln contains a variety of coloring elements, after oxidation or reduction, it will show an unexpected glaze effect after leaving the kiln.
Because its appearance is accidental, the form is special, and the ancients did not know the principle. It is only known that the roasting process changes in the kiln, so it is called kiln change. It is because of this accident that there is a saying that the kiln becomes unique, which shows that each kiln becomes a unique thing.
Jun porcelain, one of the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty, is the most famous kiln porcelain. Judging from the existing Jun porcelain, the color is indeed very gorgeous and beautiful. Some are like red clouds full of sky, colorful clouds chasing the moon; Some are like mountain waterfalls, and bead curtains are hanging; Some are like the night sky of festivals, with fireworks set off; Some are like the angry tide of the Qianjiang River. The waves roll.
Anyway, it's unpredictable, and there's no similarity.
Even the ancients lamented that this kind of kiln change is the combination of water and soil, and the work of manpower. No longer able to work with.
However, kiln porcelain can rarely be handed down, the reason is that things are fired by chance, not within the scope of the craftsman's control, so once there is a kiln porcelain. The kiln supervisor often smashed it directly.
It's not that they don't know that kiln porcelain is very precious and rare, but mainly because they are afraid that after presenting things, the emperor will ask them to burn the same thing again. Isn't that a shooting yourself in the foot and killing yourself?
And as we all know, the biggest feature of kiln porcelain is its ever-changing color, which can be described as a color into the kiln and a colorful kiln out of the kiln. After high-temperature firing, a magnificent glaze color is formed on the glaze surface.
However, everyone can also see very clearly that the bottles on the booth are plain beige, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a work that has failed to fire white porcelain, how can it be a kiln porcelain that is known for its brilliant and changeable colors?
Seeing everyone's suspicions, Qian Lao smiled lightly: "Don't think it's strange, most people think that kiln change can only be deformed or discolored, but they don't know that kiln change is also deteriorating." ”
"Spoiled?"
Instantly, many people looked at each other, puzzled. However, some veteran experts nodded thoughtfully and imperceptibly in agreement, obviously knowing the theory of metamorphosis.
"Deformation is easier to understand, that refers to the condition of porcelain disability and cracking during the firing process. At the beginning, the deformed porcelain was all waste, and everyone just smashed it and threw it away. Later, some people turned waste into treasure, and gradually mastered the law of porcelain cracking, and after improving it, it became an open piece ......"
At this time, Mr. Qian talked eloquently: "As for the discoloration, this is a situation that everyone is familiar with, and I don't need to bother with it." However, deterioration may not be well known to many, but it was not uncommon in ancient times. ”
"It is recorded in the "Ancient Kiln Ware Examination" that the Yu family has two porcelain Song bowls, which are full of fishy things in summer and do not stink and rot."
"Su Dongpo Collection? It is mentioned in the book "Quotation of Bottle Sheng" that some people hear the sound of Sheng, if they are in the clouds. Suppressed back and forth, thick syllables, slowly observed, its sound is from the double bottle ......"
"There is also a record in the book "You Yazhi" that there is a big urn in front of the door of Lu Fujun, which can receive 500 stones, and the wind and clouds come out of it."
Qian Lao listed them one by one, quoting scriptures, which made people unconvinced.
"Many of the above examples, due to the lack of knowledge of the ancients, thought it was a monster, so they broke a lot of things, but in fact it was just the result of the kiln change."
While speaking, Qian Lao also felt a little regretful, and then pointed to the bottle on the booth and said: "It's like this thing, it seems to be able to promote the spring of dead wood, which is naturally very mysterious, but there are also certain scientific principles in it." ”
"What scientific principle?"
When everyone heard this, they were naturally very interested and paid attention to listening.
"First of all, the carcass of the porcelain vase, which is made of special clay, and in the process of firing, accidental deterioration occurred, which caused an unstable magnetic field in the porcelain vase."
Qian Lao said with a smile: "Brother Lu said just now that the bottle has no water and the branches are budding, that is because every night, the dew will be automatically collected in the bottle, and in the early morning, the dew will be formed, and then the magnetic field heat evaporates, naturally forming clouds. In addition, the magnetic field in this bottle is very disordered, so I poured water directly into it, and it quickly turned into vapor......"
"Under the combined action of magnetic field and steam, the vitality of the flower branches is stimulated, and the appearance of natural rejuvenation and moisture is restored.
Under Qian Lao's explanation, some people suddenly realized, some people doubted it, and some people couldn't help but ask loudly: "What's going on with the lotus blooming?" ”
Yes!
At the same time, others reacted. Everyone can see very clearly, the buds bloom into flowers the size of a sea bowl all of a sudden, this process will not be a fraud, right?
"It's not enough to cheat, it's just a little trick."
Qian Lao chuckled: "This is a water lily, a water lily that closes at night and blooms during the day." As long as the buds that are about to bloom are cut off at dawn, and then left for four or five hours, and then put in the bottle, under the impetus of the water mist magnetic field, it will naturally have the magical effect you see. ”
"That's exactly what happened."
All of a sudden, it dawned on many people that their feelings were a little complicated and they didn't know how to react. Was it a big disappointment, or was it secretly relieved?
But in any case, after knowing that this is the treasure of the kiln, everyone's interest is even stronger. After all, Qian Lao has made it very clear that the probability of producing the treasure of the kiln transformation is very small, and it can be described as a one-in-a-million thing. Even if it is formed by chance, it is easy to be smashed by ignorant ancients as a demonic object.
In other words, what is in front of you can be described as a lonely weapon, a rare treasure. When ordinary people get it, it must be kept secret and treasured. It's rare that Qian Lao is willing to take it out for everyone to watch, if you don't look carefully, how can you be worthy of yourself.
"Old Qian's luck, tsk!"
At this time, Wang Guan couldn't help but sigh: "The first collection is a rare treasure, which is really envious, jealous and hateful." ”
"Anyone can say this, but you are not qualified to do this...... Old Zhou heard this, and immediately shook his head and said: "It belongs to the master of fifty steps and laughs at one hundred steps, and it is the same as hate." ”
Wang Guan laughed dryly, and instantly changed the topic: "Old Zhou, tell me the truth, in addition to this dead wood spring bottle, what other treasures does Qian Lao plan to arrange?" ”
"How I know this, it depends on his mood." Zhou Lao smiled: "You don't have to worry, sooner or later it will be your turn to be in the limelight." ”
"I'm not in a hurry, I'm looking forward to it." Wang Guan said softly: "I knew that Qian Lao must have hidden a hand, but I didn't expect to hide it so deeply......"
"It's not hiding." Zhou Lao explained: "The thing is not in his hands in the first place......"
Zhou Lao was only halfway through his words, and he didn't continue. However, Wang Guan suddenly realized and nodded lightly to show that he understood. It seems that the things were borrowed by Hou Lao's unit for research, and they will not be returned until the money is in need.
While the two were whispering, the flow of people who had already dispersed returned one after another, obviously hearing about what had just happened, and now regretting it so much that even their intestines were blue, and strongly asked Qian Lao to demonstrate it again.
In this regard, Qian Lao just smiled indifferently, asked everyone to invite early tomorrow, and then greeted a group of relatives and friends, and left the museum in a grand manner, preparing to hold a celebration banquet.
Seeing this situation, no matter how unwilling those people were, there was nothing they could do, after all, several burly security guards were standing nearby, and no one dared to blatantly touch the bottle, so they could only stare dryly at the side.
At this time, the mobile phone video shot by someone at the right time has become a sweet treat, which makes many people scramble to watch it and sigh. Of course, since they didn't see it with their own eyes, some people naturally expressed skepticism, and then got into an argument with someone who believed in it, and finally decided to come back tomorrow to see what happened.
In fact, it is also a good thing that there is a dispute, and if there is a dispute, it is naturally particularly eye-catching. Just like people who visit museums today, when they go back and tell what they have seen and heard, the reaction is naturally very strong.
Some believed, some questioned, and in the midst of the disturbance, the next morning, when the museum officially opened for ticket sales, many people gathered near the ticket window...... (To be continued......)
