When Yu Lifei returned home, it was almost eleven o'clock. After sending Cai Mengying home, she saw that the communication store on the street was still open, so she bought herself a pager by the way. The price is not expensive, more than 200 yuan, even if no one calls himself, at least he can use it as a watch.

After entering the door, the house was pitch black, and when the light in the living room was turned on, it was empty, and the light in Wu Jiaqi's room was also turned off. Yu Lifei has no interest in himself as a tenant, at least for him at present, the potted flowers on the balcony are more attractive than Wu Jiaqi.

Carefully carry the pot of lacquered flowers to the room, close the door, and look carefully. Yu Lifei carried the ancient jade gong, and he once again affirmed that there must be antiques in this flower pot, or this flower pot. I saw a broken basin on the balcony, and after taking it in, I found a small shovel and transferred all the flowers in the pot to the basin along with the soil.

Yu Lifei looked very carefully, there was nothing special in the soil, and all that was left was flower pots. Yu Lifei took the flower pot to the bathroom to rinse. As soon as he touched the inner wall, a three-dimensional figure immediately appeared in his mind. It is a flower pot with a wide mouth and a circle with melon petals on the inside and outside. The material did not look like porcelain, and after he carefully cleaned it, he found that some of it looked like purple sand.

Yu Lifei knows that the purple clay pot is mainly used for drinking tea. But it was the first time I saw a flower pot made of purple sand. Of course, this is just Yu Lifei's loneliness, in fact, the purple sand ancient basin, in the Ming and Qing dynasties, is basically a luxury, that is something that only rich people can play.

The origin of the purple clay pot can be traced back to Fan Li, the Yue doctor in the Spring and Autumn Period, who was the "Tao Zhu Gong" who retired with Xi Shi and retired to the rivers and lakes. It's more than 2,400 years old! However, the purple sand is made into a pot, that is still a matter after the Zhengde period of Ming Wuzong, and the more representative figures in history such as: for Chun, Chen Mansheng and so on.

The raw materials of purple sand mud are mainly divided into three types: purple mud, green mud and red mud, commonly known as "rich soil". Because it is produced in Yixing, Jiangsu, it is called Yixing purple sand. Legend has it that in ancient times, on the streets of Yixing, one day suddenly a monk shouted along the street: "Sell rich land!" Who buys rich soil? If you buy it, you can make a fortune. Hence the name.

The purple sand pot usually has a small bottom and a large mouth, and has a variety of shapes such as round, square, bell-shaped, hexagonal, manger-shaped, waist-shaped, etc., which can be adapted to different flowers and trees, and has a variety of colors such as russet, light yellow, purple red, purple and black. Some of the purple clay pots have text patterns and styles on them.

Skillful craftsmen with Yin carving, yang carving, line carving and other techniques, engraved poems or flowers and birds on the basin, the bottom of the basin is engraved with the author or the workshop's seal, bringing together poetry, calligraphy and painting, seals in one, the font silver hook iron stroke, calligraphy and painting are beautiful and beautiful, it is a cultural product rich in unique artistic charm.

Yixing purple sand craft pot is a large variety formed different from purple sand tea sets, because it has natural and excellent material properties, and is suitable for various potted plants and bonsai art. The purple sand pot has a variety of shapes and elegant decorations, and has always been favored by gardens and the majority of pot art lovers. The so-called "one pot, two scenes, three shelves", flower pots are indispensable objects for the art of bonsai.

During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the influence of purple sand flower pots overseas was expanding day by day, especially in Japan, which was praised by the potting industry as "ancient bird mud pot", referred to as "ancient cross pot" and was precious for a while, and a considerable number of purple sand flower pots were exported to Japan every year. As a result, in the current auction market, many Japanese ancient bon books have become a reference material for collectors.

Like the purple clay pot, the purple clay pot has established its position in the traditional craft with the advantages of practicality and artistry. The purple sand material has a unique texture structure, and the pots made are not only strong and durable, but also have incomparable air permeability such as porcelain pots and stone pots, which are particularly conducive to the growth and development of plants. It can be said that the purple sand basin truly harmoniously unifies the practical value and the aesthetic value.

On the surface of this purple sand pot, there is actually an inscription, although it is shielded by the white paint outside, but in my mind, it is very clear to "see": Jiang Estate has not seen a single branch open, and ten thousand trees are planted by Luofu. Only in the mountains and clouds separated, and no one flew cranes from nobody. Lonely Gao has long occupied the spectrum of the group, and the legacy is a peerless talent. It seems that my copper bottle is a clear offering, and it is not a good building. Daoguang Yiwei mid-autumn moon under the moon, Jiushan Zhuqi Town.

From this, it can be concluded that this basin was made by a person named Zhu Qizhen in the Daoguang period. As for whether it is customized or self-made, Yu Lifei has no way to judge now. But the above poem should be Zhu Qizhen's work.

Yu Lifei felt that he was really lucky, he roughly estimated that this purple sand basin was about thirty centimeters in diameter and almost half a meter in height. It's a thing from the Daoguang period again, and it's so skillfully protected, it must be a boutique. And this flower pot should have been placed here for some years, before Lao Cao's father died, let him take good care of those flowers and plants, I am afraid he also wanted to leave this flower pot to Lao Cao.

It's just that Lao Cao is not interested in flowers and plants, and good things have been placed in the house for so long, but he hasn't found them. Of course, if it weren't for Yu Lifei's bizarre function, I'm afraid it would be impossible to find that a flower pot painted with white paint would have something else.

It's just that there are two problems that plague him now, the first is how to remove the paint on this surface, whether to scrape or wash it directly, you have to consult Wu Wengu. The other is Zhu Qizhen, Yu Lifei does not specialize in history, and Zhu Qizhen is a figure of the Qing Dynasty, so he is even more unfamiliar.

As for how much this melon petal round basin is worth, it is not his concern. For him, what he enjoys is the process of discovering the melon petal pot, not the end result. Thinking that this was an antique, Yu Lifei was doubly careful when cleaning it. After washing, I wanted to put it on the balcony to dry, but I was afraid of accidents. I don't know if this is an antique, and it can be treated as an ordinary flower pot. But since he knows that it is a good thing, he will naturally be more careful.

Thinking about it, Yu Lifei felt that it was most appropriate to put it next to the bed, if it was put on the balcony and was broken by Wu Jiaqi, then it would be too late for him to cry.

When Yu Lifei wanted to climb into bed to sleep, he suddenly found that there was only a bed board on the bed, not even a mat, how could he sleep. But by this time, the shops below were closed. Fortunately, as long as Yu Lifei cultivates the Gu Yu Gong, it doesn't matter if he doesn't sleep.

Early the next morning, Yu Lifei was just about to go out, and Ren Jingtian came. He had just gotten off work, and after knowing that Yu Lifei had moved over, he hadn't even returned home, so he took a look at the situation here.
