Liu Hanyan sat quietly and watched quietly, and the topic of Fang Ming and the others returned to the Jun porcelain in front of him.

We all know that the most important thing about Jun porcelain is the kiln glaze color in the firing process, in general, it is naturally wet, and if it is fine, it can be divided into three categories, the first is the kiln monochrome glaze, which we see now mainly moon white, bean green and azure; The second category is the kiln color spot glaze, for example, the sky blue red spot is one of the representatives; As for the last one and the most famous one is the kiln glaze, the main glazes that can be seen now are begonia red, sunset red and lilac purple and other varieties, and because the cellar glaze can best represent the style and charm of Jun porcelain naturally formed in the firing process, it is also the highest price among Jun porcelain. ”

Ji Gang pointed to the bowl on the table, sighed, Lord: "This bowl is the begonia red in the glaze of the kiln in Jun porcelain, it is a rare good thing, before Fang Ming, you offered a price of 100 million, although it is high, but it is not impossible." ”

"Huh?!"

Fang Ming was taken aback, of course he knew the piece of Jun porcelain that he had picked up, and he knew it from the black and inky color of Pixiu that appeared on the back of his right hand, but he opened it casually at a price of 100 million, anyway, it was impossible for him to sell it, so he simply opened a high price that Shen Gang could not accept, one was to step on people, and the other was to scare off the other party, the porcelain had reached his own hands, and it was impossible to sell it, and the new store was about to open, and there was a shortage of porcelain.

Zhou Yafang was also dumbfounded, a light burst out of her eyes, Fang Ming missed nearly a Song Jun kiln begonia saffron bowl of course it was valuable, but she didn't think it would be worth so much money.

"Teacher Ji, we all know that Jun porcelain is worth more than the same weight of gold, but you said that it is only worth nearly 100 million, which is a little too high."

Shaking his head, Ji Gang said, "My words are not exaggerated at all. ”

As he spoke, Ji Gang reached out and gently picked up the bowl, and said while slowly rotating it: "There are two artistic characteristics of Jun porcelain, one is the milky state of the glaze, and the other is the phenomenon of kiln change. The so-called opalescent state refers to the beautiful azure semi-opatic state of green agate or opal in the glaze of Jun porcelain, which will cause Jun porcelain to appear from light to dark blue, and such light is not exposed, but more subtle and elegant, which is in line with our Chinese aesthetic concept. As for the kiln change, it refers to the flow and fusion of the glaze of Jun porcelain in the process of high-temperature refining, and the color change of opacy and coloring, and this process is completely natural, as if it is the first opening of Pangu, the process of cosmic evolution in the process of all kinds of beautiful scenery, and when the final shape is often formed, there are often colorful and gorgeous glaze colors, such as red, white, blue and purple interchange. ”

Ji Gang's eyes narrowed slowly, and he felt that his gaze was about to be completely sucked off by the small bowl in front of him, and he couldn't look away if he wanted to.

The glaze of Jun porcelain is green like the blue sky after the rain, white like warm and beautiful jade; The purple ones are like freshly shaved chicken heads, the red ones are like peonies or pomegranate begonias, and if there are blue and purple ones, it seems to be purple seaweed in the blue water, gently swaying with the waves...... This can only be seen on the most exquisite Jun porcelain, although the small bowl in front of you is small, but the most beautiful glaze of Jun porcelain is fully displayed.

"Do you see, the top part of this bowl, most of it is fiery red, but at the feet it is purple, and it looks like a pomegranate flower blooming in the hottest summer day - the fiery red ones are the petals, and the purple ones are the receptacles, and if we hold them, our hands are like flower stems, and if we put a few loquat grains in our bowl, they will become stamens...... What a beautiful picture. ”

Jun porcelain comes from celadon, but it changes the single glass texture of celadon, bringing people the impact of color, which is definitely a very high artistic level.

Zheng Bai nodded and said, "Yes, that's right, that's exactly the case." What is rare is that the glaze color of Jun porcelain is the result of natural changes, that is to say, the fiery red petals and purple receptacles presented by the bowl in front of him are not artificial, and no one will know what this bowl will become after it is sent to the kiln for firing, so the appearance we see now can only be attributed to the magic of heaven's will, and there is only one in the world, and there is no way to find it. ”

"Teacher Ji, I heard that you once presided over a study on the analysis of Jun porcelain with modern instruments?"

Zhou Yafang suddenly remembered that once when she was talking about antiques with her grandfather, she had heard the same thing, and now Ji Gang was in front of her, just to verify it.

Ji Gang nodded and said, "Yes, there is nothing wrong. A few years ago, in order to further study Jun porcelain, I cooperated with a department, using some excavated porcelain pieces of Jun porcelain for research, we found that the composition of Jun porcelain glaze is very complex, generally speaking, it can be divided into four layers, the first and second layers, that is, the part closest to the fetal rest, is very similar to the azure glaze, there are a large number of bubbles under the glaze; The third layer is often purple and red and forms a discontinuous state, while the fourth and outermost layer is a very neat copper oxide layer. From the point of view of modern science, such a result selectively absorbs or reflects many wavelengths, so the glaze color will be varied. We were amazed at how the craftsmen of the time were able to do this, which is difficult for us to do even with the current technology and modern high-temperature instruments. ”

"The wisdom of the ancients is often beyond our imagination, for example, Jun porcelain is often simple and dignified, the size is the same, the tire wall is thick and even, and has mastered the expansion coefficient of various raw materials in the firing process, which is a great achievement in ancient times without modern instruments."

Of course, in the process of research, I also found some other distinctive features of the Jun Award, and these are quite amazing.

"You see, there is another thing that is worth our attention to in this bowl that Fang Ming picked up, that is, the 'earthworm walking mud pattern' that appeared on it."

"Earthworms walk in the mud? What is this? ”

The disadvantages of Fang Ming's entry into the industry were also revealed at this time, although he had made up for the collection of knowledge some time ago, but the knowledge involved in the collection was endless? It's not something that can be mastered in a while. For example, at this time, he had never heard of what Ji Gang said about "earthworms walking mud patterns".

For Fang Ming's phenomenon of "high scores and low ability", it is not the first time that Zhou Yafang, Wu Ze and others have seen it, so they are not surprised, but Fang Ming's question startled Zhong Jigang and said, "Huh? You don't even know this, but you can pick it up? This is too ......."

"Heh, Mr. Ji, don't be surprised, he's like this, he's a good hand at picking up leaks, but when it comes to knowledge in antique collection, he really has limited knowledge."

Zhou Yafang's explanation made Ji Gang shake his head helplessly, there are really such people in this world, and those of you who have studied all your life really want to find a piece of tofu to crash to death.

After Zhou Yafang finished saying this sentence, he turned his head and said to Fang Ming: "This is a kind of natural kiln pattern that appears in the process of firing Jun porcelain, and Jun porcelain will produce decoration in the process of kiln change, the most famous is that in addition to the earthworm mud pattern, there are rabbit silk patterns and ice chip patterns. As for the earthworm walking mud pattern, it is the irregular stripes that appear on the glaze layer of Jun porcelain, just like the traces left by the earthworm after walking in the soil, so it is given such a name. As for the rabbit silk pattern, it is formed during the firing process of the shape fluctuations and the change of the glaze, and finally it seems to be the hair on the rabbit's body, and it is three-dimensional one by one. Borneol pattern is also called 'open armor', that is, an irregular crack that appears on the glaze surface of porcelain. ”

"I see."

Only then did Fang Ming understand what the so-called "earthworm walking mud pattern" was. After spreading his hands, he continued: "Okay, in the future, I will work harder to study business knowledge and strive not to lose face." ”

Zhou Yafang glared at Fang Ming fiercely and said, "It's good to know." ”

Everyone laughed.

"Fang Ming, speaking of which, you are already a wonder in our Ningdong City collection world."

Zheng Bai picked up a cup of tea and brought it to his mouth and took a sip, the tea was hot, and his brows were stretched.

"Oh? How so? ”

Fang Ming let Zheng Bai's words make the second monk confused, and a puzzled expression appeared on his face.

"You just forgot about it? You say you, you haven't been in the industry for a long time, it's not surprising that you lack knowledge about collecting, and it's not surprising that you don't know that earthworms walk mud patterns, which of us wasn't like this back then? As time passes, learn slowly, and as long as you are diligent, one day you will know more and more. ”

"It's a process, and none of us can go through it in one step."

"But the point is that you're going to miss it! We're all antiques, who hasn't picked up a spill? But the problem comes again, you pick up leaks almost every day, and you pick up a quasi-leak, and they are not small leaks, they are all big leaks, such things we have never heard of in the old rivers and lakes, you say this is not a strange thing? ”

Touching his nose, Fang Ming shook his head, he really had no way to refute what Zheng Bai said, because it was all true, of course, he was not without rebuttal, "This...... How can you pick up leaks every day? If it was a leak every day, then I would have sent it a long time ago! ”

Zheng Bai's eyes widened, and his fiery temper appeared again: "What, you haven't picked up enough leaks now?" Do you want to take all the treasures in the world back to your house? We're going to eat the northwest wind? ”

"Well, it seems to make sense for you to say that, and I accept everyone's criticism and correction!"

Fang Ming could only nod his head "helplessly" to admit his "mistake".
