Chapter 191: Blue and White Porcelain

The dragons of the Yuan Dynasty have a great feature, the dragon head is smaller, more sharp, not as majestic as the dragons of other eras, and it appears more fierce and vigorous. Obviously, this blue and white inkstone does not have this, and it can never be Yuan blue and white.

After Qin Xuebing said this, he asked with a smile, "How much is this inkstone?" ”

The shopping guide had the urge to strangle Qin Xuebing, and even refuted her remarks to nothing, and then asked the price, so was she embarrassed to offer a high price? In desperation, the shopping guide stretched out three fingers: "Only three thousand." ”

Qin Xuebing handed over the credit card, and after completing the transaction, an old man came over and said, "Young man, I like this inkstone very much, can you transfer it to me?" I can pay double the price. ”

Qin Xuebing secretly ran into someone who knew how to do it, but he remained silent: "Old man, I'm sorry, this inkstone is for my grandfather." ”

"Filial piety comes first, the young man is good."

The old man quietly gave a sycophant, and said: "But my old man really likes it, you give it to me, I will give you 10,000 yuan, and you can buy another piece." ”

"Old man, I'm sorry, I have a habit of never letting out what I get in my hands." Qin Xuebing smiled and refused, 10,000 yuan, add a few zeros.

"Teacher Cai, why are you here?" A middle-aged man greeted him, very enthusiastic.

"Teacher Cai?" Qin Xuebing was stunned for a moment, took a closer look, and couldn't help but be secretly happy, isn't this Teacher Cai who often appears on TV. It's just that there is no makeup, and there is still some difference from what you see on TV. No wonder it wasn't instantly recognized.

"You want to wait."

Teacher Cai said to the middle-aged man, and then said to Qin Xuebing: "Young man, I'll add another 20,000." 30,000 yuan, you transfer the inkstone to me. ”

Qin Xuebing smiled and shook his head: "Teacher Cai, is the thing you fancy only worth 30,000 yuan?" ”

Teacher Cai was stunned for a moment. laughed: "It turns out that the young man is also a knowledgeable person, but I was abrupt." ”

"Teacher Cai, you're polite, you're the antique master, I'm just making a fuss." Qin Xuebing said.

"Mr. Cai, what did you say?" The middle-aged man is still at a loss.

"Boss Qiu, I didn't expect you to have good things in this store." Teacher Cai couldn't help but ask, this boss Qiu asked himself to identify the baby. But as soon as I walked in the door, I saw that it was leaking.

"Ah......h

Boss Qiu was stunned for a moment, and finally reacted: "Mr. Cai, are you saying that this blue and white inkstone is an old object?" ”

"It's not just old things, it's also palace supplies." Mr. Cai pointed to the dragon pattern on the inkstone, which was a five-clawed dragon, which could only be used by the nobles of the Son of Heaven.

"Imperial palace supplies, imperial kilns?" A gleam flashed in Boss Qiu's eyes. Consider whether to ruin the business and keep the inkstone.

But he immediately shook his head, it doesn't matter if no one sees this matter today, but Mr. Cai is here, do you expect Mr. Cai to help him lie? It's simply impossible.

"I didn't expect to lose a big leak. Can Mr. Cai tell me about it, it will also allow me to increase my knowledge and learn some knowledge. Boss Qiu finally pressed his heart that was about to move.

"Young man, let's talk about it, just give Boss Qiu a little compensation."

Teacher Cai smiled and asked, "By the way, young man, I don't know your name yet?" I don't know which famous teacher trained it. ”

"Teacher Cai said that I was joking, my name is Qin Xuebing, and I am just joking."

"Qin Xuebing, I think of it, you are the treasure hunting rat Qin Xuebing, just now I only cared about the treasure and forgot about this stubble." Teacher Cai suddenly realized,

"Treasure Hunt Rat Qin Xuebing!" Boss Qiu also remembered it, and was very glad that he was not impulsive. Qin Xuebing is looking for treasures, shooting movies, and running a foundation, how can he be an ordinary person? If you were impulsive just now, I was afraid that there would be no good fruit to eat.

"By the way, Xiao Qin, I heard Dean Zhong say, you are going to hold an exhibition of collections in the Forbidden City, when is the specific time, I will go to support it at that time." Teacher Cai asked again.

"Go to the Forbidden City for an exhibition!" Boss Qiu was shocked again, he could hold an exhibition in that place, it was an ordinary person.

"The exact time has not yet been decided, but it will only be in the next few days, and I will let you know when the time comes." Of course, Qin Xuebing can't ask for it, and with celebrities like Mr. Cai participating, it will definitely attract more audiences.

"Cheng, I will definitely go when the time comes, now let's talk about this inkstone." Teacher Cai said again.

"This is a Ming Xuande blue and white dragon pattern inkstone."

It can be seen with the naked eye that the tire of this inkstone is precise and delicate, and it could not be burned at this level in the Yuan Dynasty. Only in the Ming Dynasty, when blue and white porcelain firing was in its heyday, there was such a level.

During the Yongle and Xuande periods, the political situation was stable and the economy developed, especially the seven Western footprints as far as the South Seas, West Africa, the Mediterranean, and East Africa, bringing back the Su Ma Li cyan pigment necessary for firing blue and white flowers. At this time, the blue and white porcelain was very fine in texture and glaze. The glaze layer is crystal thick and thick, the blue and white color is rich, and the shapes and ornaments are rich and colorful, creating a golden age of blue and white production.

The color of the blue and white inkstone just shows this, which is completely in line with the characteristics of the Xuande period. If we go forward to the Hongwu period, the color of Tsinghua is relatively light; If the period is backward, it is deduced to the orthodox, Jingtai, and Tianshun periods, and the glaze is gray.

It can be said that no matter how far and backward it goes, the blue and white porcelain cannot hit the level of this blue and white inkstone. This also fully shows that the development of porcelain is inseparable from the economy.

During the Hongwu period in the early Ming Dynasty, just transitioned from the troubled times to the peaceful period, the whole society was in large-scale production, and at this time, people were more in pursuit of food and clothing, and it was unlikely to pursue luxury goods.

During the Yongle and Xuande periods, the political situation was stable and the economy developed, so the level of blue and white firing began to develop rapidly, and the use of Su Ma Liqing was basically imported, so both the fetal quality and the color were the best in the Ming Dynasty.

The three dynasties of Orthodoxy, Jingtai and Tianshun led to an economic recession due to political turmoil, natural disasters and other factors. Moreover, from the beginning of orthodoxy, it has repeatedly ordered the "prohibition of official porcelain", so the number of porcelain in this period is small, which is called the "blank period" in the history of ceramics.

In terms of ornamentation, Yong and Xuan porcelain are more beautiful and elegant in the pattern decoration. The decoration of "Huihui Flower" is almost ubiquitous. Even the traditional dragon and phoenix patterns are always lined with passionflower.

In terms of pattern layout, the geometric rings, glazing, segmented cutting, and polygonal symmetry processing techniques, coupled with the generally dense pattern layout, are completely the traditional forms of West Asian art decoration: "Judging from these aspects, it is enough to show that this inkstone was fired in the Yongle and Xuande periods." ”

"You said before that this is the Xuande period, how do you distinguish between the two periods of Yongle and Xuande?" Boss Qiu asked again.

Qin Xuebing directly turned over the inkstone: "The bottom money." Boss Qiu's old face was red and embarrassed, he originally thought that this was a fake interview in the store, so naturally he didn't care about the money.

"The bottom paragraph is one of them, and the love stories of the Yongle and Xuande periods can represent the highest level of Ming Qinghua, but there is still a difference."

Qin Xuebing said: "The simplest and most difficult way to judge is style, Yongle blue and white still has a bit of the legacy of the Yuan Dynasty, but Xuande blue and white has its own style. But if you don't fully understand the blue and white of the Yuan and Ming dynasties, you can't make a judgment from this point. ”

"Xiao Qin is right, you can have this attainment at a young age, no wonder Dean Zhong will say that you were born to collect." Mr. Cai sighed, remembering that when he was so young, he was still working as a small worker in the factory.

"Teacher Cai said with a smile, I am born with good luck." Qin Xuebing said.

"Mr. Cai, Mr. Qin, can I ask, how much is this inkstone worth?" The shopping guide was also confused after listening to it for a long time, far less intuitive than the numbers.

"Teacher Cai, you give me an estimate." Qin Xuebing had received a bottle of Ming Yongle before, although the words that were not commented on were written in Su Ma Liqing, but it could not be regarded as blue and white porcelain.

"The blue and white porcelain of the Ming Dynasty is long, there are many types, and the price difference between blue and white porcelain of different shapes in different periods is very large, and the cheap ones are tens of millions, and they are tens of millions of dollars."

Mr. Cai thought for a while and said: "Xuande blue and white is the peak of the development of blue and white in the Ming Dynasty, this inkstone fully reflects the production level at that time, and it is a court utensil, which perfectly combines ornamental value and practical value, which is very precious." The only pity is that the shape of the instrument is small, and the price is not comparable to that of the large instrument, conservatively estimated, 10 million. ”

"Ten million?" The shopping guide was stunned, she sold something worth 10 million yuan for 3,000 yuan.

"Boss, I'm ......" The shopping guide looked at the boss, wanting to cry without tears, for fear that the boss would be annoyed and angry and fire himself.

"I can't blame you for this, I hit my own eyes." Boss Qiu smiled bitterly and shook his head, it's okay to make eyes, but if you lose even your demeanor, it will be too tasteless.

"Teacher Cai, Boss Qiu, I still have something at home, forgive me for leaving."

Qin Xuebing directly put the blue and white inkstone into the pocket of his down jacket, and then carried a large bag of special snacks: "Teacher Cai, you must come to my exhibition when the time comes, I have collected the five famous kilns of Brother Junding." ”

"Gather the five famous kilns of Brother Ruguan Junding?" Mr. Cai was stunned, he knew how rare the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty were, and he had never heard of anyone who could collect a set.

When Mr. Cai reacted and wanted to make sure, there was no trace of Qin Xuebing, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Cunning boy, he actually used the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty to kill my appetite." ”

In the door of the mansion, Old Man Ouyang smelled the fragrance of tea, took a sip, closed his eyes, and savored it carefully: "Good tea, special tea can't drink this taste, Brother Qin is a good craft." ”

"If Brother Ouyang likes it, I'll give you a can when I go back." Old Man Qin is rare and generous, these teas are all produced in the yard, the tea is not high, there are only a few cans of tea each time, and he is usually reluctant to give it away.

"Grandpa...... I am back. ”

Qin Xuebing's voice suddenly sounded in the courtyard, everyone stood up, and Qiu Yun ran out of the kitchen directly, with an apron on her body and her eyes blurred with tears.
