When I opened it, I found a small rectangular wooden box embedded inside. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

This Tang Yi and Feng Qingshan were mentally prepared, because it must be something tightly embedded, otherwise they would feel it when they held it.

This wooden box is ordinary paulownia wood, and we all know that paulownia wood is on the light side, so it doesn't have much weight. This blue and white ruler is joined later, not fired in the kiln, so the wooden box is intact. Otherwise, the high temperature of the kiln is more than 1,000 degrees, and it would have turned into ashes long ago.

However, the wooden box is small, and there is no lid to be found, it is more like a wooden bar.

Feng Qingshan took the wooden strip and looked at it carefully, and finally found a gap in the middle, "It seems that it is also glued." You have to pry. ”

This is not difficult, Feng Qingshan took a knife and carefully pried it open.

As a result, there was only a roll of stationery inside!

Open, tiled, there were about seven or eight sheets, and they were full of fly-headed letters. The style of the letter paper is from the Republic of China, although it is written on stationery, but it is not a letter, but some similar discussions.

It's about Yuan Qinghua.

Tang Yi and Feng Qingshan glanced at each other, read the discussion on the first page, and immediately went to look at the last page, and sure enough, there was a payment, which was written "Shoubai Ji Biography"

The two thought about it, but they didn't come up with a Republic of China character called "Shoubai". Moreover, there is no surname, and these two words are very common, and there must be duplicate names, so there is basically no way to check them. So, the two of them started reading the content from the beginning again.

The first sentence is: Yuan Dynasty porcelain, kiln mouth is also many, uneven, collectively referred to as Yuan porcelain, glaze green vessels, predecessors have few accounts.

This glaze is blue, which refers to blue and white.

Next, the whole article is talking about Yuan Qinghua.

Starting from some literati notes at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, it is said that the scholars and doctors at that time liked the famous kilns of the Song Dynasty, what Ding kiln Ge kiln, and the imperial kiln of the porcelain capital, that is, the cardinal vessel. There were even people who held a banquet at that time, using a lot of blue and white utensils, which were snickered at by the guests, and the next day, a friend of his also sent some gold and silver food utensils and wine utensils.

It can be seen that the status of Yuan Qinghua in the eyes of the upper class at that time was not as good as gold and silverware.

But now, a Guiguzi Yuan blue and white jar, at most, ten catties and eight catties, can buy nearly a ton of gold at the auction price!

He then pointed out that the territory of the Yuan Dynasty was vast, so a large number of blue and white flowers of the Yuan Dynasty were traded to West Asia at that time, and at the same time, according to what he knew, a large number of fragments of Yuan blue and white were unearthed in Egypt in Africa.

At the beginning, many of the exported Yuan blue and white products were actually customized, that is, the countries of West Asia sent people to bring green materials, discussed with the craftsmen in China, and then customized and looked. Take it away when it's done. This is also the reason why Su Ma Liqing, a Persian green material, can come to China.

This is a bit like OEM, like a foreign brand, and there are processing plants in Huaxia.

It is precisely because Su Ma left Qing to come to China that he started the great development of Yuan Qinghua. In addition to exporting porcelain, the craftsmen of the porcelain kiln factory used this beautiful blue cobalt material to make many custom-made utensils. There were even senior painters who began to paint with this cobalt material, and a number of exquisite and intricate blue and white ware appeared.

But in the Ming and Qing dynasties, Yuan Qinghua was still not taken seriously.

The person who discussed this argument believes that the reason why Yuan Qinghua has been studied so little should have something to do with Zhu Yuanzhang in the first place. He regarded the Yuan Dynasty as "Hulu Dynasty", so the blue and white ware produced during the Yuan Dynasty was rarely collected in the court and palace of the Ming Dynasty, at least.

Even in the late Yuan Dynasty, porcelain has been controlled by Zhu Yuanzhang, and many Yuan blue and white flowers are actually no longer made by the court of the Yuan Dynasty.

At the same time, there is also an incident in it, from which it can be seen that this person was still alive at least in the 20s of the last century.

It is said that at that time, there was an overseas Chinese who bought a pair of blue and white cloud dragon elephant ear bottles more than half meters high from a temple, and there was a text on the shoulder of the bottle, which was generally to pray for peace and the like, but the most noteworthy of it was the fall of the era, which was "the eleventh year of Zhizheng".

Interestingly, this person brought this pair of Yuan blue and white Yunlong elephant ear vases to the Liuli Factory to sell, and many antique dealers at that time judged them to be fakes!

Tang Yi knew about this matter, and other materials also recorded it. During the Republic of China, how could Yuan Qinghua have the current scenery? Many antique dealers don't know each other at all, and the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty and the official kilns of the Ming and Qing dynasties are the hot spots of porcelain in the antique shop.

This pair of porcelain vases was inherited in an orderly manner, and later circulated abroad, and was collected by the British David Foundation. In 1950, an American began to study this pair of blue and white cloud dragon elephant ear vases, and put forward a very famous idea later, that is, the "most positive type" Yuan blue and white. Since then, Huaxia has begun to pay attention to the study of Yuan Qinghua.

The latter things must not have been known to the person who discussed them. However, during the Republic of China, he was able to have so much research on Yuan Qinghua, which is very remarkable.

At the same time, this person also put forward a lot of key points for the identification of Yuan Qinghua.

For example, look at the bottom. Because the bottom of the Yuan blue and white is usually not glazed, so you can see the porcelain fetus directly, the porcelain fetus of the Yuan blue and white is gray, not a fine white color, because it is a mixed porcelain clay, unlike the Ming and Qing Dynasty official kilns, many are delicate single kaolin.

Like weight. Because the porcelain of Yuan Qinghua is a mixed porcelain clay, the texture is relatively loose, and the weight is very light after high temperature firing and water loss. A thing that doesn't look small, but there is a gap in the feeling when you carry it in your hand.

For example, painters. He proposed that the artistic value of Yuan blue and white should be the best and least with character paintings, followed by dragon patterns, and then floral patterns.

Among them, the dragon pattern also has identification points, the dragon head is small, the dragon body is thin, there is no five-clawed dragon, only three claws and four claws. And there will be no double dragon on a piece of instrument, usually "a dragon catches the pearl", that is, a dragon, a jewel, as if chasing the look.

"These few pieces of paper have simply studied Yuan Qinghua thoroughly!" Seeing this, Tang Yi sighed, and opened the last piece of paper with the payment by the way.

On this piece of paper, there is no longer anything to be discussed. But Tang Yi and Feng Qingshan both held their breath!

"Those who can recognize this blue and white ruler will have good eyesight, especially if they can see through the opportunity for repair. All the utensils that are hidden, and what they leave are comforted. ”

This person actually collected a batch of Yuan Qinghua and hid it!

At that time, he successively collected a batch of Yuan blue and white flowers, because the people of the time did not pay attention to it, so it was not expensive. But he concluded that these exquisite and atmospheric Yuan blue and white ware must have a day to bloom!

Now, this is a batch of heavy weapons!

"I said it!" Feng Qingshan sighed, "If it's just a discussion, there's no need to be so carefully sealed in a blue and white scale!" It turns out that the key is here! ”

Tang Yi's heart also trembled. This is the result!
