Chapter 91: The Color of Bronze

If you want to talk about this stone, ordinary people may not have heard of it, but in the circle of paying attention to bronze, it can be described as a big name.

Shisuo's life history and origin are almost untraceable, and there are only a few words in the history books. He is a monk in the late Ming Dynasty, good at making copper Buddha statues, copper furnaces, and when manufacturing, the requirements for copper are extremely high, generally after repeated smelting, is a first-class master of red copper (also known as copper) smelting. When casting bronze, he is especially good at inlaying silver wires.

The name of Shisuo, of course, does not lie in its people, but in the bronze ware made, and even, it is as famous as Xuande bronze ware.

And the most important thing is that this person has no descendants, so the works are very rare and precious, the British Museum has a collection of bronze Buddha and copper incense burner in Shisuo, and called it "the greatest artist in ancient China".

Shi Chau is a mysterious and awesome man. Of course, the works of Shi Su and the "Shi Suo model" are two different things, in the early Qing Dynasty, there were many "Shi Sue style" bronzes, the workmanship is neat, exquisite and elegant, but there is still a gap with the real Shi Suo bronzes.

Mao saw the skill and artistic style of this bronze statue of Guan Gong and the extremely high artistic taste, and saw the "Shisuo model" inlaid with silver wire, and felt that it was likely to encounter the real product for a while, so he was very surprised.

However, after Tang Yi's examination, there was no Baoguang on the bronze statue of Guan Gong, it is said that even if it is an imitation of the Qing Dynasty, with such a high imitation technology, there will be Baoguang, but no.

At the same time, the identification of the bronze statue is also missing, and the mind is blank.

What does this mean?

"This is not the real thing of Shisuo, nor is it an imitation of the vintage, this is a handicraft that has not been made for a long time." Combining the laws of Baoguang and intuition, Tang Yi finally spoke and said slowly.

"I really don't see anything wrong. If it is really a modern handicraft, it is simply a rebirth of Shisuo! Mao muttered.

"Let's go, go to the bathroom first, and ask the boss when I go back." Tang Yi said after pondering for a while.

If it had been before, Mao Zhu would definitely not believe Tang Yi's assertion, because he had almost already decided that this bronze statue of Guan Gong was the work of Shi Sue. But now Tang Yi has begun to make him look up, and he has never looked away, so after listening to Tang Yi's words, he has doubts again.

Half-belief is painful, especially for someone who is obsessed with antiques. Back at the square table, Mao Chai had been pondering about it. It's easy to finish eating, and when it's time to leave, He He proposed to go to karaoke again, "You sit down for a while, and Tang Yi and I will go to settle the bill." With that, Mao picked up Tang Yi and walked into the store again.

"Just let the waiter come over, what are you two doing?" He He shouted at the backs of the two. "Let them go." Lin Huanting pursed her lips and smiled, thinking that it might be that Mao Zhu had something to do and it was inconvenient to say it in front of the two of them.

Walking into the store, Mao grabbed a waiter and asked the boss if he was there, "Oh, change the fragrance over there!" The waiter stretched out his hand.

It's a coincidence, the incense in the black pottery incense burner in front of the bronze statue of Guan Gong has been lit, and the boss is inserting three new incense sticks into the incense burner.

The boss is a middle-aged man with a thin face, dressed neatly and wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, which doesn't look like the owner of a barbecue restaurant, but like a scholar.

"Boss, busy? I was about to check out, and I saw you, the god of martial arts, so beautiful! Mao Zhu stepped forward directly and handed the boss a cigarette.

"Thanks, no." The boss just lit the incense, and slightly pushed his hand to refuse Mao Cha, "Well, I have been placing this bronze statue for three months, and after putting it on, the business is very good." Are you two satisfied? ”

"Satisfied, satisfied." Tang Yi smiled, "Boss, where did you invite this bronze statue?" ”

"Oh, this is my uncle's craft from years ago." The boss replied with a smile, "It seems that the two of you like copperware, but he doesn't make it now." ”

Mao listened to them one by one, and couldn't help but glance at Tang Yi with great admiration, thinking to himself, Tang Yi's eyes are too poisonous now, and he can see at a glance that it is a modern handicraft, but he didn't expect it to be made by the boss's uncle. That's too high! And what a conceited feeling it is to openly fall on the stone money!

In fact, if Tang Yi hadn't made some inferences because of Baoguang's matter, a work of such a level, even the pulp had been done, how could he recognize it as an imitation lightly?

"Thank you to the owner. To tell you the truth, we are indeed bronze lovers, don't you know that the old man is now in Shanzhou? We really wanted to visit. Tang Yi also said with a smile.

"My uncle is from Jinmen. But coincidentally, he is indeed in Shanzhou now, and he lives in a nearby courtyard, but he is not a light old man. The owner explained.

"Excuse me, can you help me ask when he is free and we can come and visit?" Tang Yi was unwilling, and he didn't care about meeting the boss for the first time, so he directly said the request again.

"This ・・・・・・," the boss hesitated a little, "Okay, I'll call and ask, but if it doesn't work, don't force me anymore." "This boss not only looks like a scholar, but also has a bit of a literati atmosphere in his conversation, and the communication is peaceful.

"Excuse me, say a word more when you ask, just say that I look at this bronze statue, although it is an eggplant skin, it is better than the Buddhist scriptures, and it does not lose the stone." Tang Yi arched his hand.

"Huh?" The boss obviously didn't understand this, Tang Yi had to explain it briefly and repeat it, and the boss nodded, picked up the mobile phone and started calling.

The boss didn't understand, but Mao was clear. This Ming Dynasty bronze ware, not bronze, but red bronze, and after many times of smelting, represented by Xuande bronzes, the most wonderful thing is the color, its color melts, deep in the miraculous light. This color and pulp, there is a clear statement in the historical data, especially pointing out the color of Buddhist scripture paper, chestnut shell, eggplant skin, tang pear, brown and other fine products. The color of the Buddhist scriptures ranks first, and it is naturally the most respected.

However, this bronze statue of Guan Gong is purple in eggplant skin, which is said to be inferior to Buddhist scripture paper, but Tang Yi said that it is better than Buddhist scripture paper. Mao Chai thought to himself that this must be to attract the attention of this "uncle" and increase the possibility of meeting.

Mao Chai was thinking about it, but the boss covered the microphone of his mobile phone and said to Tang Yi, "My uncle wants to talk to you!" ”

Tang Yi took the phone and said first, "Old man, I'm bothered!" ”

"The old man's clumsy hand made the gentleman laugh. Sir, how can you say that the color of this eggplant skin is better than the color of Buddhist scriptures? The voice on the phone was a little old, mixed with the sound of the door.

"The old man is a senior master, but I am presumptuous." Tang Yi sorted out his thoughts a little and then expressed his opinion.
