Chapter 832: Japanese Porcelain
In fact, this is also a kind of riposte to the bad taste exhibition in China with a very clear purpose.
As for that exhibition, Jin Muchen didn't know about it before, and if it wasn't for the Japanese report, he wouldn't have known that there were still people in China who were so creative and specially created such an exhibition to bury the Japanese.
Later, he searched the Internet for reports on the exhibition, and of course it was all negative scolding.
Many archaeologists say that this exhibition is just a bad joke, and that what can be seen by the Japanese is not seen by those scholars in China.
However, everyone scolded and scolded, but about the organizer of this exhibition, which one is not announced at all, of course, this is also an unspoken rule that everyone knows.
In fact, everyone knows that the Japanese swords on display in this exhibition are nothing more than fakes, and many of them are even more imaginary fakes.
However, the reason why such an exhibition was held in Beijing No. 5 Middle School is probably nothing more than to educate the students in those schools not to forget the national shame, and on the other hand, it is also to fill in the disgust of the Japanese.
This point of caution, how can those experts in China not understand, so everyone is scolding and scolding, but for the information of the organizer, they are all in a unified voice and never mention it.
The Japanese, especially in diplomacy, have always been known for their small belly, especially when it comes to China, and they have always been accustomed to being arrogant.
But if there is even the slightest thing that their Japanese nationals are bullied on Chinese soil, then their embassy or consulate will definitely take the trouble to call the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and ask for trouble.
But this time they kept their mouths shut and did not say anything. Because this matter is really difficult to start, after all, the relics of World War II war criminals exhibited by the Chinese, although these Japanese are national heroes in the hearts of many Japanese, but they can only say this in Japan, and these people are all famous first-class war criminals in the world.
Even if they want to, they can't manage it. What's more, the relationship between China and Japan has become so bad now?
And what people are exhibiting is not necessarily real, so this time the guys at the Japanese embassy were very quiet.
They are silent, but the news has spread to Japan, so the **** as the prime minister of Japan must respond.
You must know that in recent years, he has changed his previous **** image and become the spokesman of Japan's extreme right, but in the international community, he has always adhered to the principle of always going against China and is engaged in diplomacy.
Now the Chinese actually poured dirty water on his grandfather. Although everyone knows that the knife is a fake, if he does not keep quiet, it will definitely be regarded as a sign of incompetence by the Japanese right-wingers, and maybe he will not have the support of those guys
So he had to respond, and he had to grasp the scale, so he donated the saber left by his grandfather Nobusuke Kishi to the Tokyo National Museum for exhibition.
This slap back was very beautiful, but I didn't expect it to be cheaper than Jin Muchen.
At this time, he looked at the Western knife in his hand. There was a burst of joy in my heart, **** ah ****. Surely you can't think of it, right?
Originally, you just wanted to use this way to fight back, the Chinese side ridiculed you, but you definitely didn't think that this would actually make you and your grandfather's saber goodbye!
Such a knife, although his original owner was a civilian official, did not personally kill Chinese. However, when he was the governor of northeast China, he must have done no less to go abroad to harm the Chinese.
Therefore, although he did not personally kill Chinese, as an important civilian official in the Japanese government during World War II, he must have formulated or implemented many plans to harm Chinese, so his hands were also stained with the blood of our Zhongjin people.
And this knife. Now it seems that his descendants have taken a lot of thought into maintaining it so well, and maybe even some people in their family regard this knife as family pride.
What does this mean, this shows that ****, a descendant of World War II war criminals, has never sincerely repented of the wrong things his grandfather did back then, including his family.
In this case, then don't keep this knife, lest it become the spiritual sustenance of your family, or leave it to me to deal with.
Didn't you Japanese ridicule us Chinese for making up the relics of your Japanese ancestors?
Okay, when the time comes, Lao Tzu, I will send this knife back to China, hand it over to the person who has a heart, and then we will hold an exhibition to see what else you Japanese can say?
Jin Muchen walked out of the exhibition room with this knife with a smile, and then went straight to the eighth exhibition hall.
The exhibits in this exhibition hall are all Japanese porcelain, but there are not many porcelain from Jin Muchen's eyes that can enter, and there are only two or three pieces, and he can look at it.
Needless to say, the origin of Japanese porcelain came from China, and when they got up in the early days, they couldn't produce porcelain themselves, so they could only import it from China.
It was not until after the Southern Song Dynasty was destroyed by the Mengyuan Dynasty that a large number of craftsmen fled to Japan and brought the real porcelain-making technology to Japan, and the Japanese began to learn to make porcelain from then on.
But for a long time at that time, Japan's fired porcelain industry was completely behind China, and it was completely imitation.
This situation continued until the Edo period in the 18th century, when the Japanese began to come into contact with the Portuguese and Dutch in the West, and began to understand the outside Western world, and began to accept a lot of Western influences in art.
Especially after the large-scale trade with the Dutch and the Portuguese began, at that time, because China was in the stage of closing off the country, only Yangcheng was opened as a treaty port by the Qing government.
At that time, the Thirteen Banks of Yangcheng were the only ones in China's foreign trade and completely monopolized foreign trade.
And the goods they controlled for export could not satisfy the appetite of the Portuguese and Dutch at all, so these two began to customize a large number of porcelain from Japan, so Japanese porcelain began to follow this opportunity, entered a prosperous stage, and gradually derived its own style.
The three works that Jin Muchen valued this time happened to be the top two masterpieces of Japanese porcelain in this period.
One of them, called Sakuragawa Wendeli, the name sounds very inexplicable, but if you really look at it, you can still see at a glance that this is not our Chinese gourd bottle?
It's just a very large gourd bottle, and the technique of painting is used on it, and the three colors of red, yellow and green are intertwined to paint different patterns.
The nature is similar to the popular pastel porcelain in the Ming and Qing dynasties, but our Chinese pastels can basically achieve five colors together, and this technique may be very simple now.
But at the time, it was a trick.
At that time, only the Chinese mastered this technology, and the Japanese, hehe, can do three colors appear on one porcelain at the same time, which is already a great skill.
This gourd bottle does look very beautiful, although it can't be compared with our top Chinese ceramics, but the pattern on this porcelain is very distinctive.
For example, the red area in the front is specifically painted in red, and the green area on the back is the same.
Only the red and green areas in the middle are depicted with cherry blossoms, and yellow is used to decorate the stamens, so the style is very rare, so it is no wonder that it is considered a national treasure of Japan.
The most important thing is that this vase was actually created by the famous Japanese porcelain master of the Edo period in the late 17th century, Imari.
Another piece of porcelain that Jin Muchen has a fancy to is called a color-painted cherry tree vessel, and listening to the name will make people scratch their heads.
But if you look at it directly, you can understand that it is just an ornamental flower plate.
The diameter of the flower plate is not small, and the white porcelain base is made of white porcelain, and the pattern of the cherry blossom tree painted with blue and red pigment is on it.
This time, it was not just a few cherry blossoms, but a whole cherry blossom tree, and the trees were full of beautiful cherry blossoms, which looked rich and glorious.
You must know that this cherry blossom is the national flower of Japan, and it is a symbol of glory and wealth in the hearts of the Japanese, with a very good color and meaning, so it will appear on almost 90% of Japan's artworks.
But most of the works, but only draw flowers, rarely even the whole tree, because this is very important to the user, dare to paint the whole tree, it must be a dignitary, if it is a common man or a businessman, then it will never be allowed to use the whole cherry tree painted utensils, because that is beyond the ancestral system.
And the plate in front of me has a whole cherry blossom tree drawn, which shows that the owner of this plate must be extraordinary.
However, as for the specific origin of this plate, Jin Muchen didn't have time to carefully research, anyway, after stepping on the spot that day, he simply searched for information about this Japanese porcelain plate at night.
Later, the most common theory was that the reason why this plate was rated as a Japanese national treasure was actually mainly because of the carcass of this plate.
The carcass of this plate is made of pure white porcelain, and it is made of white porcelain from Nabeshima, and it is said that this is the first great work derived from the white porcelain base produced in Nabeshima. (To be continued.) )
