"Secret color porcelain?"

At this time, Sun Lao was stunned for a moment, frowned, and said unhappily: "I said, can you not fool me." Even if I don't play porcelain professionally, but for porcelain, I know a little bit, even if I can't compare to your professional, but it's a beginner's level, not a layman. ”

"What is the secret color porcelain, don't I know?"

Sun Lao was very unhappy, no matter how ignorant he was, it was impossible that he had not heard of the famous secret color porcelain.

You must know that the secret color porcelain was already very famous in ancient times. The late Tang Dynasty poet Tortoise Meng, there is a famous poem, two of which are poems, the nine autumn wind and dew more kiln open, and win the green color of thousands of peaks, which is the secret color porcelain.

In the period of the Five Dynasties, the secret color porcelain became the exclusive supply of King Wuyue, and the common people were not allowed to use it, and the glaze formula, the production process was kept secret, and outsiders did not know the inside story, so that in the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, scholars continued to controversy over the secret color porcelain.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, experts and scholars did not have a recognized conclusion on the secret color porcelain.

It was not until the opening of the underground palace of Famen Temple that a batch of porcelain with written records was found in the underground palace, and the world suddenly realized that the so-called secret color porcelain was actually celadon.

It's just that the ancients played a trick and never mentioned celadon, but gave it a very vague and elegant name, called secret color porcelain, which has plagued the academic world for more than a thousand years.

The birth of secret color porcelain caused a sensation all over the world, how could Sun Lao not know.

So, of course, he was very angry: "As we all know, the secret color porcelain has become a mystery in the Song Dynasty. Besides, this Liuxia Cup, but something from the Ming Dynasty, how can it be related to the secret color porcelain? ”

"Of course it matters......"

Second Master Wu smiled. explained: "In fact, for the secret color porcelain, after the objects of the underground palace of Famen Temple were unearthed, the world seems to have a deep-rooted understanding, when it comes to the secret color porcelain, it must be that kind of porcelain." ”

"Actually, in our opinion, the so-called secret color porcelain is a very broad term. Its real meaning should be taken literally. ”

Wu Erye talked eloquently: "The secret word of secret color means confidential and confidential; The color means the powder formula and the glaze formula. Hence the meaning of the secret color. It should be a secret glaze formula. ”

"The best celadon in Yue kiln, the reason why it is called secret color porcelain in the five dynasties of Wu Yue Kingdom, is mainly the firing of that kind of porcelain, from the formula, billet, glazing to firing The whole process is secret, so it has such a name."

Second Master Wu smiled and said, "And this Liuxia Zhan is also like this." ”

"Hao 19's Liuxia Cup, the production process is very complicated, especially the bright glaze. It is a secret recipe that no one knows, so what's wrong with calling it secret porcelain? ”

Second Master Wu yearned for him: "Brother Sun, you don't know much about Hao Nineteen. So I can't imagine how precious the Liuxia cup he made is, it's a treasure in the world......"

"As for this Liuxia Lamp."

Second Master Wu glanced at his eyes and pouted: "The shape is quite similar." But compared with the real essence of the connotation, it is really very different, and there is a world of hesitation. ”

"So you said the secret color. That's what it means. Sun Lao suddenly realized, and then thoughtfully: "Do you want to say that the firing process of Hao 19 is unique in the world, and no one can imitate it?" ”

"That's right." Wu Erye nodded heavily, and said solemnly: "Think about it, originally the Liuxia Zhan should belong to a relatively common vessel shape in the Ming Dynasty, but since the Liuxia Zhan made by Hao 19 came out, no one in the world dares to burn such a thing as Liuxia Zhan. ”

"Since then, Liuxia Zhan has become a unique thing of Hao Nineteen, and a generalized noun has become a proper noun."

Second Master Wu admired: "When it comes to Liuxia Zhan, everyone's first impression is that it is a famous treasure made by Hao Nineteen, not something else. As long as it is not made by Hao 19, it is all a fake. ”

"Ah......" Sun Lao was stunned: "...... I have seen it for a long time. ”

Taking advantage of this gap, Qi Xiang took the opportunity to ask: "Second master, you haven't said it yet, what should the secret glaze of the real Liuxia Cup look like?" Have you ever seen a real Liuxia cup before? ”

"Hey, if I've seen the real Liuxia Cup, then I have no regrets in this life."

Second Master Wu sighed, but also gave generous advice: "Xiaoyou, although I haven't seen the real thing, but in some documents, the most significant features of Liuxia Zhan are recorded. ”

"The color is as bright as cinnabar, like the sunset?" Qi Xiang hesitated, such a description is overflowing.

"No, no, no, it's not this." Wu Erye shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm talking about literature, but it's not a literati's decoration, but a real appraisal standard." ”

"Please teach the second master." Qi Xiang listened attentively.

Wu Erye said slowly: "The process of Liuxia Cup, in addition to the fact that it is not easy to be reborn, the most important thing is its glaze. You should pay special attention to the glaze of the Liuxia Cup, which is not only attached to the tread, but can penetrate into the tire wall. ”

"What?" Qi Xiang was stunned for a moment, surprised and surprised.

"Well, didn't you expect that?" Wu Erye laughed and said: "The glaze of Liuxia Zhan, as well as the blank tire, should be specially modulated, and when it is fired at high temperature, the glaze penetrates into the tire wall and is integrated. ”

"Wait until the Liuxia cup cools out of the kiln, and then take a look at the sky, the light is like a flowing glow, full of colors, and beautiful."

Second Master Wu was very fascinated, then turned his eyes, glanced at the Liuxia Zhan on the table, and said disdainfully: "As for this thing, not only is the tire glaze far apart, but also you know that it is a new thing at a glance." ”

"The glaze is bright, the tire is thin, and it belongs to the range of rebirth, but the craftsmanship is not good, the weight control is not good, and the carcass is a little heavy. I guess this should be the handiwork of Jingdezhen craftsmen. ”

Second Master Wu concluded: "The market price of things is at most thirty or fifty thousand." Mr. Yang, how much did you spend to buy it? ”

“…… Not much! ”

The middle-aged man next to him gritted his teeth at this time, and his neck was thick: "It's only more than two million ......."

"Huh, more than two million?" Second Master Wu's expression was uncertain, and he said, "It's a loss, it's a big loss." ”

"Damn ......it," the middle-aged man said angrily, "It's me who is blind and believes in the wrong person." ”

"In fact, the real Liuxia Lamp, more than two million, is an insult to it." Second Master Wu kindly admonished: "Without one or two million, you can't take it at all." ”

"One or twenty million ......" The middle-aged man's eyes widened: "So expensive? ”

"Expensive?" Second Master Wu sneered: "I'm just a conservative estimate, do you know that the first favorite of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, Heshen, in order to please Emperor Qianlong, did not hesitate to offer a reward of 10,000 taels of gold to buy Hao 19's Liuxia Zhan, but no one paid attention to him......"

The corners of the middle-aged man's mouth twitched, and he stopped talking.

Second Master Wu's heart was bright, and he suddenly smiled: "Hehe, you must think that no one has a Liuxia Cup, so He Shen can't buy it, right?" ”

"This ......" mind was seen through, and the middle-aged man was a little surprised: "Isn't it?" ”

"Of course not." Second Master Wu shook his head and said: "Heshen Wanjin bounty Liuxia Zhan, maybe there is no movement in the folk countryside, but the entire court officialdom must be known to everyone, and no one knows about it." ”

"In the capital at that time, there was an official who had an ancestral Liuxia cup in his hand."

Second Master Wu sighed with emotion: "When He Shen offered a reward for Liuxiazhan, this little official pretended to be deaf and dumb, and there was no movement. Afterwards, he accidentally revealed the news, was exposed and reported, and stabbed to He Shen. ”

When He Shen heard the news, he was overjoyed and hurriedly sent someone to transport money to get it. However, I didn't expect that the little official insisted that he didn't have a flowing glow. Where would He Shen believe it, he directly found an excuse, beheaded the petty official, easily seized the Liuxia Zhan, and then presented it to Emperor Qianlong. ”

Second Master Wu snorted and said: "Emperor Qianlong is very happy, but he also knows where things come from, and he also talks about some face, so he doesn't show things around, he just admires them alone in private." ”

"There are not many secret treasures like this that cannot be revealed, and there are not many emperors in the hands, all of which are recorded in the secret archives of the palace."

Second Master Wu was also a little complacent: "Our brothers are fortunate to have read those secret files, so they naturally know some secrets, as well as the characteristics of Liuxiaguang. ”

When Qi Xiang heard this, he thought of the walnuts he sold to Chen Beixue, which seemed to be one of the secret treasures of the palace.

"So, what happened to the Liuxia cup in Emperor Qianlong's hand?" The middle-aged man hurriedly asked.

"Then it's not clear." Second Master Wu frowned and said: "The chaos at the end of the Qing Dynasty, you also know, it was the Eight-Nation Alliance, and the warlords were chaotic or something, the internal thieves colluded with the external thieves, and the treasures in the palace were mostly scraped in this way." ”

"Liuxia is very precious, but it is sandwiched between other treasures, and it is not very inconspicuous, who knows whose hands it will fall into. Maybe it will be lost overseas, or it will be broken up in the chaos, and it is also very likely. ”

Second Master Wu was compassionate and compassionate: "The rise and fall alternate, the most bitter thing is not only the people, but also many treasures." With each upheaval, the treasures of art are halved, so much so that many people today lack sufficient knowledge of the treasures of antiquity. ”

"That's right." Qi Xiang thought deeply and was quite touched.

As the saying goes, scarcity is precious, and the reverse is true, and precious things are scarce in themselves. For thousands of years, after turmoil after turmoil, I don't know how many treasures have been destroyed in one fell swoop, which makes people feel distressed.

However, for a middle-aged man, how much ancient treasures were destroyed had nothing to do with him. Anyway, he was furious now, and his face was frighteningly blue: "Thank you two masters for your guidance, I will definitely have a reward." ”

As he spoke, the middle-aged man bowed again and pleaded, "Two masters, can you be my witnesses?" ”

"What witness?" Second Master Wu frowned.

"Witness to the appraisal." The middle-aged man said hatefully: "The Dong family bullied me too much, I want to go to the door to ask for justice......" (to be continued......
