Chapter 77: The Master of the Gimbal
The shape of this incense burner has some of the remnants of the Xuande furnace, with a round mouth and a bulging belly, a flat neck and a flat bottom, a three-legged bottom, and two ears on the mouth. At a glance, it is a fine copper casting, the copper quality is excellent, and the skin shell is thick and ripe, and the whole body is sprinkled with gold.
But it wasn't this that attracted Tang Yi. Supposedly, such a fine copper should be matched with a gorgeous and smooth shape, but this furnace gives people a sense of oppression, the whole is slightly flattened, and the ears are semi-ring-shaped, but the middle is slightly collapsed. If this bronze incense burner is compared to a person, it is as if a person of great dignity is deeply repentant.
When he looked at it, the white treasure light suddenly appeared, and there was a hint of it in his eyes.
"You pour out these red beads and look at them." Tang Yi squatted down beside He He.
"There are a total of 27, although a few are cracked, but it is inevitable to protect the mountain, just make a string of 27 Buddha beads!" The stall owner was a middle-aged man with a long face, and when he saw the business coming to his door, he immediately introduced it, and he cooperated with Tang Yi's request and handed over a plastic bag. These Nanhong beads are new mineral materials, the color is really good, although it has nothing to do with antiques, but after all, it is a real Baoshan Nanhong material.
He He took out the beads and put them in a plastic bag, "How to sell them?" ”
"If you go head-to-head, three hundred, if you shoot one, take six thousand! Okay, that's the price, don't pay it back, don't sell it if the price is low! The stall owner said.
The beads are about 14 mm in diameter, which is basically the market price. However, Nanhong has risen sharply in the past two years, and if you buy it for a year or two, you must have made some money.
Tang Yi had already picked up the incense burner, and was secretly sighing that his hand felt very heavy, ready to look at the bottom, listened to the stall owner's words, and said to He He, "If you are more expensive, you can shoot it with one shot, and you can't throw it away from playing with bad beads, chicken ribs, you are uncomfortable!" ”
He He nodded, and Wu picked it up. Lin Huanting was also attracted by the beautiful cherry red, but seeing that Tang Yi's attention was always on the incense burner, she also wanted to see what it was, so she looked at the beads for a while, looked at the incense burner for a while, and counted her as the busiest.
Tang Yi looked at the bottom of the copper furnace, the regular script seal, square and square, there were as many as sixteen words: forgetting the ancestors and burning incense Ming Yihai October Yuntai master system.
This bit of writing is naturally difficult for Tang Yi, who learns history, to the effect that he is ashamed of his ancestors, condemns himself, and remembers this on the incense burner, and the person who has this feeling is the owner of Yuntai, which was made in October of the year of Yihai.
At this point, an instinct for this furnace emerged.
In fact, even if there is no intuition, with Tang Yi's professional knowledge, he can basically determine the origin of this incense burner.
First of all, it is necessary to find out who the owner of this gimbal is referring to.
The PTZ is not an ordinary place, also known as a platform, and it is the door to the center and back of the Forbidden City's Jiji Palace. There are fewer people who know about the Jianji Palace, which is the name of the Ming Dynasty, and later the Qing Dynasty changed it to the Baohe Palace, and there are more people who know it, because this is the place where the palace is tested, that is, the place where the champion is produced.
Then, the owner of this place can only be one person, the emperor! During the Qing Dynasty, Yuntai Gate was nowhere to be found, and this emperor could only be the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. The platform is also the system of the Ming Dynasty, but after the middle of the Wanli Dynasty, the emperor ignores the government and does not have the platform to call the right. It wasn't until Emperor Chongzhen came to power that he started to call the platform again.
This place is clear, the problem is simple, combined with "forgetting the ancestors and sinning yourself", "Yihai October", it is not difficult to deduce that the owner of the cloud platform on this copper furnace refers to Emperor Chongzhen!
In the eighth year of Chongzhen, 1635, it was the year of Yihai. This year, the Ming Dynasty was stormy, full of disasters and difficulties. Especially in the first month of this year, it was supposed to be a time period for the whole country to celebrate the New Year happily, but something big happened.
In the first month, the first month came to see the lanterns, but there were no lanterns on this day, because Zhang Xianzhong captured Fengyang City.
This Fengyang, although it is far away from the capital, is the location of the mausoleum of Zhu Yuanzhang's parents, as well as the "Longxing Temple" when he was a monk, which has always been regarded as the "dragon vein" by the descendants of the Zhu family. That's why this place is so important! However, "Liukou" Zhang Xianzhong only took half a day to win it.
The Fengyang Imperial Mausoleum was burned.
The government and the opposition were horrified, Emperor Chongzhen was filial to the court, mobilized 70,000 elite soldiers, and the Central Plains would suppress it.
This is "forgetting ancestors", of course, "forgetting ancestors" is a bit of a self-defeating statement, exaggerating the shame to the extreme. And in October of Yihai, Emperor Chongzhen issued an edict to punish himself.
Well, this incense burner was made in October, and it basically belongs to the special objects of Emperor Chongzhen. After absorbing Baoguang, the intuition generated in Tang Yi's mind was probably the same, but it was more about the excellent copper quality of the copper furnace, the ripeness of the pulp, and the superior craftsmanship. Of course, this copper incense burner could not have been made by Emperor Chongzhen himself, but he must have put forward guiding opinions, and the charm of this vessel also reflects his state.
Although I don't know how many of these incense burners were made back then, there are definitely not many. Tang Yi was pondering, He He had already selected eighteen beads and made them into a string of Buddha beads.
There are various types of Buddhist beads, eighteen, twenty-seven, fifty-four, one hundred and eight. The stall owner originally only had twenty-seven beads, and He He could only make up this way if he removed the cracked ones and those of different sizes.
"Eighteen, three hundred, five thousand four." The stall owner laughed.
"If you say you don't bargain, you really won't pay it back." He He shouted, "Wipe a small change, five thousand is always okay, right?" ”
"I'm sorry, I'm not like other stall owners, asking for the price randomly, and then I'll give you a discount, the wool is out of the sheep, it's actually boring, just don't buy it and put it down." The stall owner was still grinning, but he didn't let go. Originally, such a pick has been picked for a long time, and it's strange if you don't buy it, you want to buy it so much, I don't take the opportunity to make more money, I'm stupid, I'm stupid?
"Don't bargain, this incense burner will be given to us!" Tang Yi looked at the stall owner and said.
"Don't! You look at the incense burner for a long time, I can see it, you are more fascinated than this young lady who bought Nanhong, I tell you, Nanhong beads are just handicrafts, but this copper incense burner is an antique, this is a thing of the Ming Dynasty! The stall owner stretched out his hand to Tang Yibi and measured it, and hurriedly said.
Tang Yi's heart was cold, okay, this stall owner is really a thief. However, Tang Yi's face did not show Xiàn, he held the copper incense burner and asked, "How can you tell that it is from the Ming Dynasty?" ”
"Xuande furnace!" The stall owner didn't say much, pretending to raise his eyebrows mysteriously.
"Hahahaha." Tang Yi laughed, "You are so funny, the Xuande furnace is used for beads, if it is the Xuande furnace, what kind of stall do you have, how many shops are enough for you?" ”
Tang Yi said, stood up, and began to look at the other stalls.
"Do you understand this bottom line?" The stall owner seemed to be a little anxious, and looked up and said to Tang Yi.
