Chapter 763: The pinnacle of the Ming Dynasty
Indeed, this chair has many features that were not common in ancient Chinese chairs in the past, which even Mitsui Mitsui cannot deny.
The rigorous proportional relationship is the basis of modern furniture, the proportion of the jade dragon chair between the part and the part, the proportion of decoration and the overall form, are extremely uniform and coordinated, there is no redundant cumbersome, the rationalization of the structure and the artistry of the modeling, fully show the concise, bright and simple artistic style. And good at melting the elegant and vulgar in one furnace, elegant and useful, vulgar does not hurt the elegant, to achieve the perfect unity of aesthetics, mechanics and function. ”
Yoshihiko Noda's comments on this jade dragon chair made Takazu Mitsui and Kyosuke Kobayashi quite agree, and in their opinion, Yoshihiko Noda's comments on this chair seem to be more professional.
"I think this chair should be a work of the Ming Dynasty in China, because Chinese Ming Dynasty furniture can be said to be the golden peak of ancient Chinese furniture history, even the later Qing Dynasty cannot surpass. This is the same as the jade of the Qing Dynasty in China, which was the pinnacle of the development of jade in Chinese history. After the initial development of the Song and Yuan dynasties, to the Ming Dynasty, Chinese furniture that blended Eastern and Western artistic styles finally reached the peak of Chinese furniture design. And it also occupies a very important position in the history of furniture in the world, the furniture of this period, has a very exquisite structure and technology and distinctive national style, the design function and spiritual function are organically integrated together, its biggest feature is the material selection, process production, use function, aesthetic habits into one, to achieve a high degree of unity of science and art. Therefore, the furniture of the Ming Dynasty is the pinnacle of Chinese furniture history. ”
What Yoshihiko Noda said was shaking his head, and Mitsui Takashi and a few people listened to it. And from Yoshihiko Noda's words. They also heard the guy on the furniture of the Ming Dynasty period in China. It seems to be highly respected, otherwise it would not have given such a high evaluation.
Of course, these evaluations are not made by Yoshihiko Noda himself, but are recognized by those experts who have studied Chinese antiques in the world.
Mitsui Takawa and Kobayashi Kyosuke felt that what Yoshihiko Noda said was very reasonable, but Mitsui Mitsuyora on the other side was quite unhappy.
What do you mean, Noda? The jade dragon chair I just mentioned is a work of the Qing Dynasty, so you can pick it out and go against me, right? I have to explain the dynasty, what's the matter?
You slap my face. It's addictive!
"Noda-kun, you can't just say that this chair is from the Ming Dynasty just by the shape and lines of this chair, right?"
Mitsui Mitsura squinted and asked Noda Yoshihiko to arrive, and Yoshihiko Noda was very personable and replied with a smile.
"Of course not, the homes of the Ming Dynasty were divided into girdles and no girdles. There is a waist of furniture square legs and straight feet, or three bent legs or drum legs, the shape is thick and looks solemn and beautiful. The waistless furniture is dominated by round-legged and side-footed, concise and stable shapes. These two structural approaches. It gives people a feeling of being square and stable between the virtual and the real, and successfully reflects the beauty of the fusion of functionality and artistry. It's not just beautiful. Moreover, the structure is relatively scientific, the mortise and tenon joint is fine, strong and strong. And the jade dragon chair we see is a typical waistless dragon chair, which we can see by looking at the legs. ”
Yoshihiko Noda pointed to the ten round legs under the jade dragon chair and said with a smile, and Mitsui Mitsura immediately blushed when he saw the four round legs.
What the hell, how could Lao Tzu know such cold knowledge?
At this time, he didn't feel that he was not good at learning, but complained about the characteristics of this chair, which was too remote.
And seeing this, Takawa Mitsui and Kyosuke Kobayashi, in fact, in their hearts, are already a little biased towards this judgment of Yoshihiko Noda.
"And most of the furniture of this period is a mortise and tenon structure. Among them, there are many kinds of tenons, such as open tenon, half tenon, lattice angle tenon, long and short tenon, dovetail tenon, round tenon, chuck tenon and so on. There are many kinds of tenons to meet different connections, and craftsmen use the hard and small component sections of fine wood to make precision tenons, which not only meet the needs of making connections, but also make the furniture structure seamless. Therefore, the chairs of the Ming Dynasty, as long as they were used by high-grade people, were almost 100% used in spliced structures. In the middle and late Qing Dynasty, many furniture has begun to use iron, or wood wedges and other connectors, and even in the later period, there is the use of glue bonding, so the furniture of the Ming and Qing dynasties still has a very obvious difference in the splicing structure. ”
Yoshihiko Noda said tepidly, but in fact, he was slapping Mitsui's face one after another.
His dissatisfaction with Mitsui Mitsui has not been a day or two, especially after knowing that he was removed from power by this guy.
This guy not only used shady tricks to remove himself from the position of director of the Tokyo National Museum, but also took over his wife and children, he not only ruined his career, but also ruined his family.
This is no less than the hatred of killing one's father and taking one's wife!
If it weren't for the power of the Mitsui family, Yoshihiko Noda would have wanted to kill this guy many times.
But because his family is still in Japan, if he kills Mitsui Mitsui, it will be a big deal to accompany him to his life, but the Mitsui family will inevitably be angry with his family, so Noda Yoshihiko has always restrained his resentment towards this Mitsui Mitsui.
After returning from the United States, he has been swallowing his anger, pretending not to know anything, lurking around the Mitsui brothers, just to find a suitable opportunity for revenge.
Now that this opportunity has come, how could he miss it?
And now that Mitsui Mitsui has actually leaned over to pump himself, he can't miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
He seemed to be unintentional in his explanation, but Mitsui Mitsura sounded as if Yoshihiko Noda was slapping himself one after another with his left and right slaps.
After seeing that Takazu Mitsui and Kyosuke Kobayashi were listening attentively, they didn't seem to have any reaction to Yoshihiko Noda's explanation, and he couldn't turn his face in person.
If these two weren't here, he wouldn't have been able to resist jumping over and slapping this Yoshihiko Noda, damn it, what a.
is so ignorant of lifting, hum, it's just Lao Tzu's defeated men.
You wait for me, after this appraisal is over, I will copy your squid when I go back, by the way, after I go back, I have to grass your wife well, and I have to make that slut half dead, so as to relieve my heart.
Mitsui Mitsura pondered very darkly, and looking at what Yoshihiko Noda said, he couldn't help but ask again.
"Noda-kun, you can't just rely on the shape of this chair, the lines, and the legs of the stool to conclude that this must be the work of the Ming Dynasty, right? Although the furniture of the Ming Dynasty is indeed the pinnacle of ancient Chinese furniture, the furniture production of the Qing Dynasty does not seem to be weak. And how can you guarantee that this chair was not imitated by the Qing Dynasty according to the style of Ming Dynasty furniture? After all, this jade dragon chair, the jade kung fu on it, doesn't seem to be something that the people of the Ming Dynasty could do, right? ”
As soon as Mitsui Mitsura said this, questions suddenly rose in the hearts of Mitsui Takawa and Kobayashi Kyosuke.
Indeed, everyone knows that when it comes to antique furniture, the furniture of the Ming Dynasty in China is indeed the top, but when it comes to jade production, the Qing Dynasty in China is the peak era.
And the jade dragon chair in front of me, in terms of furniture production, it does have obvious characteristics of Ming Dynasty furniture production, but it is all jade, and the patterns and statues on this jade material, as well as the carving, are also top-notch, these characteristics are more in line with the characteristics of the Qing Dynasty jade craftsmanship.
Mitsui Mitsuliang said this, this chair really looks like it was made by a jade craftsman in the Qing Dynasty and a furniture craftsman.
Of course, Yoshihiko Noda also saw the doubts on the faces of Takazu Mitsui and Kyosuke Kobayashi, so he smiled at them and said, "Of course, I don't infer that this chair is a work of the Ming Dynasty just by the shape, lines, or legs of this chair. The reason why I say that this one is a work from the Ming Dynasty is mainly because of the poem carved on the back of this chair. ”
As soon as Yoshihiko Noda said this, Mitsui Takawa and Kobayashi Kyosuke immediately came to the back of the jade dragon chair, and with the help of the light in the room, they saw clearly that the back of the back of the chair not only had a pattern carved statue, but also an ancient poem engraved with it.
The pattern is like a picture of "Han Magpie Fighting for Plum Pictures", looking at the carving method of Han Magpie Fighting for Plum Pictures, the creator at first seemed to use this jade plate as a jade screen to create, and later because of the area of this screen, it was used as the back of the chair.
Looking at the upper right corner of this pattern, there is also a miscellaneous poem: "The imperial ten light screens, Si Nong does not suffer from poverty." Shen Xiang carved a cold bird, and the price was 100,000 yuan. ”
The moral of this poem is very simple, probably to praise how his carver can talk, how precious and valuable the pattern he carves, what he said is very simple and straightforward, and even a little vulgar.
To be honest, the artistic conception of this poem, when paired with this jade screen and the patterns carved on it, can be very incompatible.
After reading it, it is easy for people to have the idea that this master is really vulgar.
And after Mitsui and them understood, they raised their heads and looked at Yoshihiko Noda, and this guy smiled and said at this time: "This poem is vulgar, isn't it?" I also think it's too vulgar, but there is a poem described in the Ming Dynasty court chronicle "Ming Palace Miscellaneous Songs", and the person who wrote this poem in the first place is even more amazing......"
