Tang Yi said to the point, on a whim, lit a cigarette: "In the past, the Dingyao was definitely the boss, but later Song Huizong liked celadon, and the status of the Dingyao declined, but this ornamentation process is more abundant. When the pen and fun pavilion www.biquge.info arrived in the Southern Song Dynasty, the north was ruled by the Jin people, and the carved printing of the Ding kiln was gone, and it was changed to directly molding. ”

"Jin people also like to use molds? I remember you saying that Yuan Qinghua also uses molds. Wen Jia waved her hand, "The decoration process of porcelain is too complicated, and I can't figure it out, but handmade is definitely better than molded." ”

"It's mainly for the sake of production, and then there are nomads, hunters, and so on, and the appreciation of art is not the same as that of the agrarian people. However, Qianlong liked Dingyao very much, and wrote more than 30 poems about Dingyao. But I only remember two lines of one of the poems: Beidingzhou pottery is made more, white as fat jade and unpolished. Tang Yi finished smoking a cigarette and lit another one.

"Look at you, you're so excited, let's go and see it!" Wen Jia Dao.

Tang Yi frowned slightly, "The five famous kilns, of course I'm interested." However, the things dug up in this field have now become a common gimmick, so I am afraid of running in vain. ”

"Anyway, if you go north, you won't be able to make many detours!" Wen Jia said, "If it's fake, then take a look and leave." If it's the real thing, let's do it quickly. ”

"Well, I'll ask him again tomorrow if he remembers any details. If it works, let's go see it. Tang Yi said, "I watched the old man come out all the way, thinking about Ding Ding, and wanted to go back early." ”

As a result, early the next morning, Tang Yi and the four of them were about to go to breakfast together, and Boss Wang came to Tang Yi, still holding a big box in his hand. Tang Wuxin and Ling Hongzi didn't talk much, and went to eat first. Wen Jia stayed.

Tang Yi let him into the house. He opened the box and revealed a Dingyao net bottle, "Look at it, although it is a high-imitation handicraft, it is absolutely high-grade!" ”

Boss Wang doesn't understand antiques, most of these handicrafts are very beautiful, but in the eyes of connoisseurs, without that feeling, they can't be of much interest.

According to Boss Wang's eyes, Tang Yi also understood: I said yesterday that I wanted to send him, although he said no, but after all, I want to express my gratitude, since I said it, I will take it and take a look. Yesterday, Boss Wang said that he was going to send it to the customer, and he sent it so early to see it, just to make sure that Tang Yi really didn't want it, if not, it would be too late to give it to the customer in the morning.

This net bottle, as high as 60 centimeters, is a white porcelain carved peony arabesque pattern dragon mouth net bottle. The body of the bottle is similar to that of a normal net bottle, but the neck and top are very long, and there is an umbrella structure in the middle of the neck. Of course, there is also a "dragon's mouth" with a very complicated process.

This net bottle is very famous because it was unearthed in Dingzhou more than 40 years ago. At that time, a large number of porcelain from the Dingyao kiln were unearthed, which were basically the things of the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, and this net bottle was the highest in one of them, and it is now in the Dingzhou Museum. It can be said that it is a top-notch treasure.

In this case, such imitations have basically become pure handicrafts. Because you can't blind people, the shape, size, and decoration are the same as the one in the museum. It's like a printed copy of a famous painting, which is used for display rather than collection, just for a feeling.

Since Tang Yi understood what Boss Wang meant, he immediately said that he couldn't ask for it, and it was better to give it to the customer. Wen Jia's attitude is also very clear.

Boss Wang looked at it, went down the slope, and after putting away the things, he said that at noon, no matter what, he wanted Tang Yi and Wen Jia to appreciate their faces, and he invited him to dinner, and by the way, he discussed whether to go and see the two white porcelain bowls.

Although he knew that Boss Wang had customers in the morning, Tang Yi still asked casually: "Boss Wang, did your cousin say that there are any obvious characteristics of those two big bowls?" ”

Unexpectedly, Boss Wang immediately said, "Look, I forgot to say it yesterday, there is a very important feature." It's these two big bowls, and the word 'official' is engraved at the bottom! But it's not a seal character, it's an italic character, and it's not very beautiful. ”

When Tang Yi heard this, he nodded, "Okay, you go talk about business first, and we'll see you at noon!" ”

Boss Wang left, Tang Yi lit a cigarette and said to Wen Jia, "If it is really the Dingyao of the Northern Song Dynasty and the word 'official' is engraved, it means that it is from the early Northern Song Dynasty, and it will not be able to reach Song Huizong at the latest." ”

"This is what the official kiln means?"

"Almost, that is, it means that it is officially made, at that time the Ru kiln or something has not been burned, and the white porcelain of the Ding kiln was used as the official kiln, which also fully explains the status of the Ding kiln. Judging from the situation that has been discovered so far, the Ding kiln is the porcelain with the most engraved characters of 'official'. ”

Wen Jia said with a smile, "This shows that in the early Northern Song Dynasty, Dingyao was the boss!" It is no wonder that later generations will rank it at the top of the five famous kilns. ”

Tang Yi said, "Well, it's just that the status of the other four famous kilns has improved rapidly. In particular, the Ru kiln, which has only been burned for more than 20 years, is even more rare. ”

Wen Jia thought for a while, "I see, besides, the feeling of white porcelain is relatively ordinary, which is also a reason." ”

"You don't know, white glaze needs to be purified, now it looks like it's a very simple thing. But in the Northern Song Dynasty, it was difficult. In fact, the earliest white porcelain is Qingbai porcelain, to put it bluntly, celadon is easy to burn. The process is constantly improved and improved, and finally it becomes whiter and whiter. It's just that Song Huizong prefers celadon to white porcelain, and he is the emperor, which drives the trend up and down. Tang Yi explained.

"Isn't there any other color for the kiln?"

"Yes, but it's not as famous as white porcelain. There are also red ding, ink ding and so on. However, now they are called purple and black, and they are very rare. ”

Wen Jia nodded, "Since he said that the word 'official' was engraved, then let's go and have a look." Let's go, go to breakfast, and by the way, tell Uncle Shi and Ling Hongzi about this. ”

When he went to the hotel restaurant, Wen Jia also muttered, "It would be better if his cousin found out what Hongding was!" ”

Tang Yi smiled, "If it is really the Northern Song Dynasty Ding kiln, the white porcelain will burn high incense." It's hard to see in Hongding, and I haven't seen it with my own eyes. Su Dongpo once wrote a poem: Dingzhou flower porcelain red jade. Even in the Northern Song Dynasty, Hongding was a rarity. ”

"How rare is it?"

"About Hongding, I have read a small story in the Northern Song Dynasty, which may not be true, but it can show the preciousness of Hongding. The protagonist of this story is the 'prince' in the tanuki for the prince, the later Song Renzong. ”
