Chapter 1179: Cricket Jar
When he was eating, Tan Qianchang called Tang Yi and said: The matter of the gilded green Tara statue of Xuande in the Ming Dynasty, because of the situation of this case, some people know about it, can I make a move?
"Is it Min Tianxiang?" Tang Yi thought about it and asked directly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Yes." Tan Qianchang didn't hide it anymore, "He asked me. ”
Min Tian suffered a big loss on the Zhuangzi Dream Butterfly Blue and White Jar. At that time, Tang Yi was still in the palm of his hand, Tang Yi said ambiguously, he thought it was a hint that it was true, and later figured it out through Shen Songyan. However, this matter does not depend on Tang Yi, even if he doesn't understand it.
Now, this Xuande gilt green Tara bronze statue, since it is rumored to be stolen by Tang Yi, it must be true. And Min Tian believes in Buddhism, and it is a high-quality product, so he moved a little idea. He asked himself embarrassed and afraid of being brushed off, so he thought about it and found Tan Qianchang.
Buddhism spread from India to China and evolved a lot of local things, and there are many differences between Tibetan Buddhism and Central Plains Buddhism. But nowadays, many ordinary people who believe in Buddhism will not pay too much attention to it, and the same is true for worshipping Buddha statues. Don't look at Min Tian as a great figure in the jade industry, but at this point, there is not much to pay attention to.
"You want to hold him on top, you can play well below, I don't object to this idea, but I really can't make a move on this thing, it's too difficult to find." Tang Yi and Tan Qianchang are not vain.
"Okay, I understand, if you have a word, I'll answer him." Tan Qianchang said two more words and hung up the phone.
"The things of Yongle and Xuande in the Ming Dynasty, as long as they are genuine now, there is basically no low price." Sima Liu picked up the conversation and said, "I read the news, in the past two days, there is a Yongle Jiugong gossip card on Hong Kong Island, and the price of the hammer is 4.8 million Hong Kong dollars, just such a small brand. I see that there are comments below that every Yongxuan will pay a high price. ”
"The things of the Yongle and Xuande dynasties of the Ming Dynasty are indeed particularly worthy of collection." Talking about this, Tang Yi's words also got up, and he said a few more words by the way.
The national strength and the characteristics of the emperor determine the artistic achievements, which cannot be said to be 100% right, but it is basically right, at least it is very reasonable.
Yongle Emperor Zhu Di, although he is more ruthless, he is a rebellious emperor in the family, and he can be regarded as taking the throne of his nephew Emperor Jianwen, and his methods are also very extreme, but he has reigned for more than 20 years, and his national strength has been significantly improved, especially he has done a lot of big things, such as moving the capital and building the Forbidden City. Without him, there would be no Forbidden City today.
Another example is "Yongle Grand Canon", as well as Zheng He's trip to the West, and so on.
It is not difficult to see that Zhu Di has a lot of courage. In terms of artwork, the size is large, such as the blue and white plate, the head; The momentum is also very fierce, everyone who plays the ancient knows that the dragon pattern of the Yongle period is very fierce and imposing, and the eyes are cold and intimidating, shocking, and it is the most of the Ming and Qing dynasties.
If in reality, someone shows you a piece of porcelain, saying that it is Yongle, with a dragon pattern on it, you only need to look at the dragon, as long as it is not imposing, and you don't even need to look at anything else, this is not right!
Besides, Emperor Xuande Zhu Zhanji is the grandson of Zhu Di, in addition to governing the country, this person has a set of characteristics, and loves art. The emperor loves art, and the art of the dynasty is not bad. Why did the calligraphy and painting of the Song Dynasty Huizong produce so many fine works and be extremely prosperous? Because he is a calligrapher and painter himself.
The most famous of the Xuande Dynasty, the Xuande furnace. Directly named after Zhu Zhanji's era name. Bronze, porcelain, and the Xuande Dynasty all appeared in a peak state.
In the Xuande Dynasty, there was a very special kind of porcelain artwork, which could not be compared with other dynasties, cricket jars.
Emperor Xuande is a good emperor who governs the country, but people also have a little hobby, and one of his biggest hobbies is fighting crickets. So much so that some historians of later generations called him "the cricket emperor". This kind of inferiority of generalizing is common to many people, as if only 24 hours a day of review and reciprocation, coughing up blood is a good emperor. Emperor Xianfeng coughed up blood and died, tuberculosis, is he a good emperor?
This Xuande porcelain cricket jar, handed down very, very little, it is estimated that the current survival is probably in the single digits, not to mention that Tang Yi does not have it at hand, in the Forbidden City of Taiwan Island, how many pieces of Xuande porcelain are collected? According to various sources, there are more than a thousand pieces, but not a single cricket jar! It is said that when I first found it, I didn't know that it was a cricket jar, but I thought that the shape was special and the production was exquisite.
Why is there so little handed down, there are records and statements in historical materials: Xuan Temple collapsed, and the Queen Mother immediately ordered all the things in the palace to be gone. Xuande died, and his mother, Empress Dowager Zhang, destroyed all the things he played.
Speaking of this, Tang Yi also heard about it in the porcelain capital, "In the nineties of the last century, some blue and white fragments were unearthed in the porcelain capital, and after they were unearthed, experts pieced together, that is, cricket jars, which can roughly be pieced together more than 20, and it can be seen that it was deliberately smashed!" This is the right match with the historical data. ”
"Xuande cricket jars, there are not many in the world?" Sima Liu was speechless, "No wonder I haven't heard of any museums." ”
"Speaking of this, I have to say that there is a ghost in the Wa country, there is one in an art museum in the Wa country, it is very complete, with a cover, Rui beast ornament, I have seen the album." Tang Yi said.
"Listen to it!" Sima Liu took a sip of wine.
"Hehe, we don't have any good things in foreign countries, there are a lot of them, are you angry?" Tang Yi smiled, "It's very difficult to keep it from going out now." Therefore, when I see the fine products of the Yongxuan period, I have to grasp it well, and I can't let go. ”
The title of Yongxuan, as mentioned earlier, is separated by a Hongxi, because Emperor Hongxi reigned for less than a year, the world is often called Yongxuan Shengshi, "History of the Ming Dynasty", for the prosperous era of more than 30 years, an adjective was used, called "steaming". It is very apt, thriving, and magnificent.
"It is said that Yongxuan is not divided, can you get a few words of experience and let us listen?" Sima Liu listened and listened, and suddenly mentioned something.
Playing porcelain, Yongxuan is not divided is an old saying, it is indeed difficult to distinguish, especially at that time, many official kilns did not bring money.
Tang Yi thought for a while, "Technically, there are roughly three points, the first one, Yongle's glaze, which is relatively smooth, Xuande's, and has many orange peel lines." Second, Yongle's tire is light, and Xuande is heavy. Third, the halo of Yongle blue and white is lighter and brighter, and the halo of Xuande is heavier. ”
After a pause, Tang Yi said again, "But this is not absolute, and it has to be analyzed on a case-by-case basis." The three points I mentioned can only be used as a basic judgment. ”
