Chapter 1126: Treasures of the Nation [3]
For thousands of years, Tianmu porcelain "Jianzhan" has been praised as "the pearl of the porcelain altar" by Ai porcelain.
The most famous of the poems of Jianzhan is the great poet Su Dongpo of the Song Dynasty, who has a soft spot for Jianzhan. In 1089, when he went to Hangzhou to serve as Zhizhou, he talked about the "Shouxing Temple" in Geling, Xihu Beishan.
At this time, Master Nanping Qian, who lived in Jingci Temple in Nanshan, Xihu Lake, rushed to visit him when he heard the news, and personally ordered tea for Su Dongpo on the spot. Su Dongpo knew that Master Qian had a way to order tea, and after tasting the tea ordered by the Taoist chief, he felt that the Taoist tea art was clever, so he made a poem "Send Nanping Qianshi" on the spot to express his congratulations. The poem says:
The Taoist knew that Nanping Mountain came to test the tea samadhi.
Suddenly, the rabbit was frightened at noon, and it was made as a spring urn goose wine.
The rooftop ru flowers are gone, and the Yuchuan phoenix liquid is now safe.
Mr. intends to renew the tea scripture, which will make Lao Qian's name immortal.
What makes Su Dongpo's poetry flourish is that the famous Taoist master, the master of Samadhi tea from Nanping Mountain, is Qianshi Taoist.
The master showed his unique skill of ordering tea on the spot, and used the most precious rabbit black glazed porcelain bowl at that time. This opened Su Dongpo's eyes, so he compared the most high-end goose wine brewed from the spring urn to the tea fragrance emitted by the tea fight, and praised the master's superb tea fighting skills.
Because of its unique glaze, it can produce different veins and colors in the firing process, so the glaze of the finished product presents rabbit hair, oil droplet or yao deformation, warm and crystalline, magnificent and pleasant, with a typical national style and strong oriental art color.
It's a pity that in the early years of the Yuan Dynasty, the kiln builders routinely paid tribute to the imperial court with the black glaze of the gods, and they didn't want Yuan Taizong to look at this thing and be furious.
It is only because the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty believed in Islam, admired white, and tabooed black, especially the black glazed porcelain with mysterious colors, which was regarded by them as a bad luck.
Emperor Taizong of the Yuan Dynasty ordered the execution of the officials who paid tribute and dozens of potters who fired the porcelain of the kiln, and the potters who were left behind were terrified and scattered, and the kiln declined.
The old man finally raised his head from the deep shock and said: "There are only two Tianmu porcelain partridge spots left in the world today, one is in the Chinese Museum, and the other is in the Tokyo Museum in Japan. ”
“”
Liu Yuhao nodded silently.
The old man said a good point, the kiln Tianmu porcelain has been passed down to this day, and there are only two real genuine products in the world, one of which is stored in the National Museum, and unfortunately, the other is collected by the islanders, and they shamelessly call it the national treasure of their own country.
Charlie was shocked when he heard this, and was stunned for a long time, before he smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't expect there to be such precious antiques in this room." ”
"Ah, didn't you know the origin of this Tianmu porcelain before?"
Liu Yuhao was stunned for a moment, a fool could hear from Charlie's words, no one knew that there was such a treasure in this room before today.
"Spicy next door, cheap mouth!"
Liu Yuhao scolded himself in his heart, feeling like he wanted to cry without tears.
Charlie was also honest, smiled, and explained: "Mr. Liu, this Tianmu porcelain was used to store the maintenance liquid of this snuff bottle in my hand in the past, and we really don't know the preciousness of this porcelain. ”
The flesh on Liu Yuhao's face trembled, and he glanced at the snuffbox in Charlie's hand speechlessly and shook his head with a wry smile, and said in his heart: "That's right, how many people can notice such a small black bowl?" ”
A typical pearl is secretly cast!
The reason why Jianzhan tea set is wonderful in the world is because the use of Jianzhan tea has four major advantages: first, the bottom of the cup shape is small and the mouth is large, and the tea fragrance is fully revealed; Second, the tire is simple and heavy, and the tea soup is hot and difficult to cold for a long time; the third is the quality of the high-speed iron red lang, the tea is kept fresh overnight; Fourth, the color of the cup is natural, and the tea ou is unique.
In particular, it is worth mentioning that there are no two identical rabbit cups in the world, even if the markings are the same, but there must be lengths and thicknesses under careful discrimination.
Because the markings of Jianzhan are "kiln changes", which can be controlled by non-human beings, it is said that every individual of Jianzhan is a work of art that cannot be copied, and every piece of Tianmu porcelain is a unique masterpiece in the world!
And it was such a priceless gem that was used to hold maintenance liquid, and he encountered such an embarrassing cold reception, which made Liu Yuhao feel angry in his heart just thinking about it.
The old man also smiled bitterly when he heard it, and exclaimed: "Your Royal Highness, a few years ago, at an auction, an ordinary tea cup produced by Jianyao has been auctioned for a sky-high price of more than 10 million pounds. ”
"How much will this Tianmu porcelain be worth if it is auctioned?"
Charlie's mouth opened in shock, and his eyes widened and asked.
The old man smiled helplessly and said, "It depends on who bids, if it is Mr. Liu, one billion and eight billion is not much." ”
The building markings are naturally formed according to the furnace temperature. Among them, the Yao variable markings are dazzling and extremely gorgeous due to the brilliance of the spots, and they are the most precious in the building lamp. At that time, when the artificial tradition was fired, only one or two pieces could be obtained by chance out of hundreds of thousands of pieces.
Charlie's eyes lit up suddenly, and he secretly glanced at Liu Yuhao in surprise.
The embarrassment of the European royal family being financially stretched is well known to the world, and the one billion and eight billion that the old man said naturally does not mean the Thai baht, even if the crown prince is inevitably a little uncalm after hearing this sensational sky-high price.
Zhou Xi was furious, pointed at the old man's nose and said, "Are you poor and crazy, one billion eight billion?" Damn, you might as well rob it, wouldn't that come faster? ”
"Ugh"
Whether it was Charlie or the old man, they couldn't understand what Zhou Xi said, but neither of them was stupid, and they could know from Zhou Xi's angry expression that what he said must not be a good thing, and their faces naturally became ugly.
The difference is that Liu Yuhao was unmoved, as if he hadn't heard the argument between the three of them just now, his eyes stared at the building kiln oil drip in his hand without blinking, and a strange light flashed in his eyes from time to time.
The black glaze is applied to the inside of the cup, and the glaze of the black and bright lacquer is inlaid with crystalline silver round spots of different sizes in an orderly manner, shining with the luster of metal, like oil droplets dripping from the water, gathering and scattering, suspended on the surface of the water; It is like a silver man all over the world, and the stars are scattered all over it. If you pinch the lamp in your hand and rotate it slowly, the silver spots will emit a subtle and restrained light under the lamp, which is very brilliant.
Liu Yuhao sighed slightly, thinking that thousands of years ago, the maker may have suddenly had a flash of inspiration when he was stir-frying vegetables and cooking rice or looking up at the starry sky one night, and was inspired by natural phenomena, so as to fire exquisite markings on the simple black glaze.
After carefully examining it with a magnifying glass, Liu Yuhao smiled faintly, pointed to the wall near the edge of the mouth and said, "Old man, there is a circle concave inward, shallow and smooth, do you know why?" ”
The old man was stunned for a moment, glanced at Liu Yuhao in astonishment, secretly praised Liu Yuhao's calmness in his heart, frowned and thought about it, and said: "This should be the outstanding feature of the bundle bowl in oriental porcelain." ”
Liu Yuhao shook his head with a smile and said, "It's right to say that it is the characteristics of the bundle bowl, but to be correct, it is actually a ruler." ”
"Ruler?"
The old man was stunned, his eyebrows raised, showing extremely strong interest.
Liu Yuhao explained with a smile, and said: "When the Song Dynasty ordered the tea bucket tea, the upward and downward effect, it became a trend, because the tea color of the building tea is whiter, so the color of the black Jianzhan can be said to be a perfect match for tasting the Jiancha, and the circle on the edge of the cup will naturally become the ruler of the amount of water injected when ordering tea, just like the scale of today's utensils." Therefore, it can be said that the oil drop beam bowl is a model of the perfect combination of aesthetic function and practical function. ”
The old man stared at the silver round spot that looked like oil droplets and stars for a long time, and said with admiration on his face: "It seems that I used to underestimate the wisdom behind the Chinese civilization. ”
Liu Yuhao smiled and waved his hand, with a straight expression, and said, "Your Royal Highness Charlie, I wonder if this building kiln can be regarded as one of the collections we exchanged?" ”
"I want to say no, but Mr. Liu, will you give up?"
Charlie only smiled bitterly, but at the same time there was an indescribable bitterness in his heart, and he was now almost holding on to keep his smile from gaffe.
Charlie really can't imagine that such a legendary piece of beautiful art is used as garbage to hold maintenance liquid, and if this matter spreads, I don't know how many people will treat it as their joke after dinner.
"Then I'll thank His Highness Charlie in advance."
Where would Liu Yuhao be polite, he smiled and turned to the old man and said, "Old man, help me write this down too." ”
"Ugh"
The old man's face darkened, and his painful facial muscles couldn't help but twitch a few times.
Suddenly, a strange look appeared on Liu Yuhao's face, and just when he quietly released his ability just now to confirm the authenticity of the building kiln oil drip pot in his hand again, the mysterious aura suddenly rushed to his eyes and jumped again.
Liu Yuhao hurriedly looked at the thing with abundant aura, and saw a strange golden light appear under the glass shelf where the oil drip cup of the kiln was placed just now.
Although the golden light appeared for a short time, Liu Yuhao still caught it keenly.
Liu Yuhao was slightly stunned, released his ability to the maximum, and then, a look of disbelief flashed in his eyes, and he immediately returned to his original appearance.
A miracle did happen.
Liu Yuhao almost fainted happily, he never thought that there would be so many surprises waiting for him in this room that he strongly asked to enter, first found the only remaining kiln oil drip in the world, and then found the real national treasure.
"Sir, this item is also counted in the exchange."
Liu Yuhao bent down, and quickly took out a black object from under the glass shelf and stuffed it into his pocket very unfiguratively, and the tone of his voice was even more commanding.
