Chapter 403: Firewood Kiln
Li Hao saw Tung Chee-hwa's shocked look on his face, and knew that he was really not sure.
But how can he be accurate, he just relies on his unique ability to identify whether this thing is real, and he can't come up with specific evidence.
However, Li Hao has made up some knowledge, anyway, he is sure that this is true, so he will definitely be able to convince Tung Chee-hwa.
"The surface of this incense burner looks like a Ru kiln, and I believe you should know the value of the Ru kiln during the Northern Song Dynasty, right?"
The last time Li Hao got a Shanxi Ru kiln, it was worth 20 million in the Qing Dynasty, and it goes without saying what the Ru kiln was worth during the Northern Song Dynasty, don't even think about it if you don't have hundreds of millions.
"Yes, this is also the reason why I can't be sure, from the point of view of quality and texture, this should be Ru kiln, so far I have not seen many such complete Ru kilns, worth at least more than 500 million. However, although the Ru kiln is precious, it is not rare in the world, so I was foolish and did not see the mystery of this thing for a while. ”
Tung Chee-hwa has seen a lot of antiques, although Ru kiln is very rare, but he has still seen a few, Li Hao took out this thing, he wanted the country to bear so much pressure, it is inevitable to say it.
In fact, Tung Chee-hwa also felt that the Ru kiln in his hand was somewhat inconsistent with other Ru kilns, which was more delicate and more sensible.
Ru kiln is generally gray, but this one in his hand turned out to be azure, of course, color is not the only criterion for judging Ru kiln, from the texture of Dong Chee-hwa can still judge that this is Ru kiln, and it is not an imitation.
"Huh...... It seems that Mr. Dong has not really understood these things, so I will remind Mr. that there is a saying that there is a saying: where the rain passes and the clouds are clear, the color will be the future! ”
Li Hao said it word by word, and Dong Chee-hwa, who was next to him, became more and more solemn after hearing it, and the surrounding atmosphere became tense.
This poem Dong Chee-hwa knows better than anyone else, in the antique world, few are Xiaobai, and they are more clear about the ancient poems and allusions in the past, but after hearing Li Hao's words, he still couldn't help but open his mouth wide......
He didn't dare to think about it anymore, it shocked him too much.
"What you're talking about......"
Tung Chee-hwa is still a little unsure, which is harder than convincing him that there are aliens in this world.
"Yes, you should have thought of it, this is the firewood kiln!"
Li Hao's every word is hitting Dong Chee-hwa's heart, firewood kiln, is it really a firewood kiln?
Chai Rong grew up in the family of his uncle Guo Wei since he was a child, and his temperament was kind and cautious, and he was deeply loved by Guo Wei and was accepted as the son of the moth. After Guo Wei became emperor, he appointed Chai Rong to govern Lanzhou, and in a few years, Lanzhou was governed at night. After Guo Wei's death, Chai Rong succeeded him as emperor. During Chai Rong's reign, he trained the army, eliminated redundant and weak, appeased exiles, and reduced taxes, so that the politics of the Later Zhou Dynasty were clear, the people were rich, and the Central Plains began to recover. He fought in the south and in the north, defeated Houshu in the west, and captured the four states of Qin, Feng, Cheng and Jie; The south destroyed the Southern Tang Dynasty, and won the fourteen states of Jiangbei and Huainan; The Khitan is broken in the north, and the two states and three passes of Lianke. It's a pity that such an eloquent king died of illness at the age of thirty-nine. Later, his henchmen added Zhao Kuangyin and Chen Qiao to the mutiny, seized the Chai family, and created the foundation of the Great Song Dynasty for 300 years.
??? Chai Rong advocated thrift all his life and never refused to be extravagant, and only the burning of firewood kilns in his life was the only extravagance. At that time, the white porcelain used in the court was mang, and Qin Tianjian considered it unlucky. Chai Rongcai ordered the firing of celadon for the court, most of which were used as ritual vessels for worshipping the heavens, in order to express his reverence for God, Chai Rong ordered the unprecedented order to use agate, gems and other precious materials into the glaze. Seeing that the emperor attached so much importance to it, the official in charge of supervising the production did not dare to be proficient, and asked him for the specific color and standard of porcelain.
???? At that time, when the rain had passed and the sky was clear, a rainbow hung high in the sky, Chai Rong was in a good mood, pointed to the sky and said loudly: "After the rain, the sky is blue and the clouds are broken, and the color will be the future!" ”
???? The time of existence of the Later Zhou Dynasty is very short, and the history of the existence of the firewood kiln is even shorter, but its historical position in the collecting world is extremely prominent.
???? The ancients had a very high evaluation of firewood kiln porcelain, saying that it has four characteristics: "blue as the sky, bright as a mirror, thin as paper, and sound like chime." ”
???? Zhou Shizong Chai Rong was still thrifty, so the number of firewood kiln porcelain fired at that time was very small, and it was already difficult to find a vessel in the Northern Song Dynasty. Ouyang Xiu, a generation of Wenzong of the Song Dynasty, wrote in "Returning to the Field": "The color of the Chai kiln is like the sky, the sound is like a lot, the world wants it, and those who get its fragments use gold ornaments as tools." ”
???? It can be seen that in the Northern Song Dynasty, it was extremely difficult to obtain a piece of firewood kiln porcelain as Ouyang Xiu's privy deputy envoy and a high-ranking official of the military department. Ouyang Xiu once sighed: "Who sees the color of the firewood kiln, the azure rain is outdated." Ru kiln is more magnetic, and the official bureau is selfless. ”
???? Ouyang Xiu's era was only a hundred years away from the era of Zhou Chai Rong, and there was almost no shadow of the firewood kiln in the world, so that people at that time could not imagine the color of the firewood kiln porcelain, and could only imagine the subtlety of the firewood kiln with the relatively similar Ru kiln porcelain.
The preciousness of the firewood kiln, as the old saying goes, a firewood kiln is worth 10,000 gold.
It took a long time for Dong Chee-hwa to calm down his mood, and then asked: "I don't know how you can be sure that this is a firewood kiln?" ”
Indeed, Tung Chee-hwa was not carried away by this news and wanted to be happy, but now is not the time, and he needs to prove that this is indeed a firewood kiln.
After Li Hao heard this, he secretly scolded the old fox, although he was a little reluctant, but he still said very calmly: "First of all, let's look at the color, the biggest feature of the firewood kiln and the Ru kiln is the color, the Ru kiln is blue-gray, and the firewood kiln is blue-blue, which is azure. The color of this incense burner is between cyan and peacock blue, so the color is in line with the standard of the firewood kiln. ”
"Yes, this is also what I doubted before, but this alone is not enough to prove that this is a firewood kiln."
Tung Chee-hwa is also a well-informed person, and the two sentences that Li Hao said can be found in books, and cannot be used as a basis.
"Sir, don't worry, I naturally know that these can't be proved, Sir may have forgotten one of the characteristics of the firewood kiln, that is, its color changes with the change of light. For example, in low light, it appears a beautiful cyan, but when you change the angle to the light, you can see characteristics similar to the surface of shells and pearls. Wouldn't you be able to see clearly by changing the light? ”
