Chen Yi smiled, the name of the Doucai Chicken Bowl Cup of Ming Chenghua Doucai only appeared in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, and most of the people before called the Doucai Wucai.

In the Chenghua period, the number of porcelain fired in the official kiln was far less than that of the Xuande Dynasty, but there were many varieties and colors, which could be called the heyday of porcelain in the Ming Dynasty.

Chenghua Doucai porcelain has high artistic value and economic value, of course, the emergence of any new thing, is bound to be questioned, and even criticized and slandered.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the artistic value of colored porcelain was not well received, because people had become accustomed to and accepted the simple and elegant porcelain types and styles of various famous kilns in the Song Dynasty, and the same fresh blue and white porcelain was also quickly accepted.

Colored porcelain has gone through a long time, until the middle and late Ming Dynasty, people's understanding of it has changed, quite a kind of "sword edge from the sharpening, plum blossom fragrance from the bitter cold" taste.

And the firing of exquisite Chenghua color porcelain to Wanli years has won a high praise, even more than Xuande porcelain, to this dynasty, the number of Chenghua Doucai has been very rare, the official kiln fine porcelain, into the folk very little.

Similarly, in ancient times, there was no such thing as a museum, and some collectors cherished their own brooms, and the treasures were light and not shown, so that there were very few people who had seen the real Chenghua Doucai Chicken Bowl Cup.

Due to the great achievements of Chenghua porcelain, it also made later generations compete to imitate, and during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, there were imitations.

For the identification of chicken cups, it is a very complex and difficult thing, the only criterion for identifying Chenghua Doucai, is to see the real thing, through guò comparison. Observe. Study. In order to comprehend, otherwise, just know some characteristics of Ming Chenghua Doucai, and it is impossible to accurately judge at all.

In modern times, there are many books or reviews written by collectors, which have the key points and main characteristics of Chenghua Doucai.

It's just that in ancient times when the news was closed, some collectors would not say the main points they had pondered in detail at all. Even if it is said, only a circle of people can know, and it cannot be widely disseminated, so most people, for Chenghua Doucai, only have a basic superficial understanding.

Therefore, even if there is a real Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup in front of them, they may not recognize it, and they may not dare to recognize it.

"The imitation chicken bowl cup is not bad. It is also highly valuable to collect it. These two chicken cups, as well as this jade, I want it, the shopkeeper, give a real price. Chen Yi smiled, took the two chicken bowl cups in his hands, and then took another jade.

According to his identification, these two chicken bowl cups are completely high-quality products of the official kiln in the Chenghua period, and they are also a pair, and their value is incalculable in modern times.

In modern Chenghua Doucai chicken bowl cup can be said to have attracted much attention, but the auction is basically an imitation of later generations, and there are very few in Chenghua Dynasty.

As long as it is determined to be the Doucai chicken bowl cup of the Chenghua Dynasty, the value of each piece will never be less than 50 million yuan.

At present, the highest auction price of the chicken bowl cup is the Chenghua official kiln fine chicken bowl cup treasured by Mei Yin Tang, which reached more than 280 million Hong Kong dollars at auction, setting a new world auction record for Chinese porcelain.

Mei Yin Tang, on the other hand, was established over 50 years by two foreign collectors, with the assistance of a well-known Chinese antique dealer and another foreigner, and is known in the industry for collecting high-grade works of art, especially Chinese porcelain, which are fine works of all ages.

The collection includes the finest treasures from Neolithic to porcelain from previous dynasties, and is considered to be the finest collection of Chinese porcelain in the hands of private individuals in the West.

When the two chicken cups were identified before, Chen Yi's heart was full of excitement, the chicken bowl cup, even if his identification ability is unparalleled in the world, but if he wants to find this chicken bowl cup, it is impossible to do it, and it is necessary to try his luck at the auction, from the rise of the auction industry to the present, the number of chicken bowl cups in the Chenghua Dynasty on the auction is only a handful.

Being able to get a pair now is a thrill for a collector.

Seeing that Chen Yi had selected three things, a smile appeared on the shopkeeper's face, these antiques, he was also looking for buyers, "Two chicken bowl cups, a total of sixty taels, this jade, twenty taels." ”

"Sixty taels of chicken bowl cup, shopkeeper, you are a pit person, this is the chicken bowl cup of the Wanli Dynasty, but not from the Chenghua period, this jade is the same, twenty taels, I might as well use twenty taels to buy a good piece of jade and carve out one." Hearing the price, Chen Yi said without hesitation.

Subsequently, he also said his reserve price, "Twenty taels for two chicken cups and five taels for jade." ”

The shopkeeper shook his head, "No, three things, at least seventy taels ......." ”

Chen Yi also continued to bargain, and the last three things were sold for fifty taels, and after the shopkeeper wrapped the three things, he also took out fifty taels from his clothes and handed them to the shopkeeper from the silver ticket that was not yet warm.

After that, Chen Yi said goodbye to the shopkeeper, "Chen Gongzi, remember to send someone to inform me after you find a place to live." When saying goodbye to Chen Yi at the door, the shopkeeper did not forget to advise.

"Don't worry, shopkeeper, I'm waiting for your good news." Chen Yi smiled and nodded, and then walked towards the young man who was standing at the door waiting for him, "This benevolent brother, I've kept you waiting, let's go." ”

The young man hurriedly arched his hand towards Chen Yi, "Benefactor, this is what Xiao Ke should do." Then, together with Chen Yi, he went in one direction.

Looking at the figure of Chen Yi and this young man in the distance, the pawnshop shopkeeper standing at the door, with a look of emotion on his face, he really couldn't figure out the details of this Chen Yi, and now his mind was still in chaos.

According to the style of a wealthy family, he will not have any good feelings for a poor child at all, let alone help him without such a frame.

Suddenly, he thought that he was going to go to the handwriting, and hurriedly rushed into the shop, if the handwriting on this contract was exactly the same as the calligraphy, then the young man he met was really a dragon among people.

"Benefactor, where are we going now?" On the way, the young man asked with his hand towards Chen Yi.

"Let's go to your house first." Chen Yi said with a smile, he has a top-level repair technique, and he still needs to find a doctor.

Even Li Shizhen, who has the highest level in this era, is not as powerful as his top-level repair technique, speaking of which, Li Shizhen also lived in the Jiajing and Wanli periods, and in a few years, his amazing masterpiece "Compendium of Materia Medica" will be truly completed.

It is now the thirteenth year of Wanli, that is, in 1585 AD, Li Shizhen was born in 1518, and he is now sixty-seven years old.

Throughout ancient China, there were countless celebrities, many of whom were fascinating, and now that he was in the Ming Dynasty, he had an opportunity to contact these people, how could he let it go.

Even if you waste a little more identification points, you have to contact these people in contact with them, so that you can come to Lu Zigang's copy world in vain.

"Okay, please come with me." Hearing Chen Yi's words, the young man nodded and said politely.

Chen Yi waved his hand, "As the saying goes, great grace is not grateful, what's more, I haven't been gracious to you yet, my name is Chen Yi, you can call my name in the future, I don't know your name yet." ”

"Benefactor, Brother Chen, my name is Li Wensheng." originally wanted to continue to call Chen Yi's favorite, but seeing Chen Yi's eyes looking at him tightly, he had to change his name and say his name.

"That's right, seeing that you are younger than me, I will call you Wensheng in the future." Chen Yi smiled and nodded, through the identification, he also knew Li Wensheng's character, perseverance, and very kind, otherwise, he would not be so polite to him.

Soon, under the leadership of Li Wensheng, he came to an alley, in which the houses were basically a little dilapidated, and it seemed that they should be a gathering place for the poor.

At last they stopped in front of a dilapidated house, which from the exterior of the house had some cracks in the walls, and was entirely an earthen house, without a single piece of masonry, and a thatched roof on top.

"Brother Chen, the humble house is very simple, which makes you smile." Li Wensheng arched his hand, sighed and said.

"Haha, Wensheng, thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, you will have a day when you will soar." Chen Yi said with a laugh and stepped directly into the courtyard.

On the way, in the conversation with Li Wensheng, he also knew that Li Wensheng was now a showman, and there was still a long way to go before he could really soar.

In ancient times, if a disciple of the Han Sect wanted to succeed, there was no other way than to participate in the imperial examination.

It's just that even if Li Wensheng is a showman, he will not bring him any money, on the contrary, if he wants to succeed, he must spend more.

Seeing Chen Yi stepping into the house without disgust, Li Wensheng showed a touch of respect on his face, followed Chen Yi and entered the courtyard.

Under his guidance, Chen Yi came to the back room of the room, which was a little dimly lit, and an old woman was lying on the bed, and some violent coughing sounds could be heard from time to time.

"Is it Wensheng, is Wensheng back?" Hearing voices from the room, the old woman struggled to open her eyes, and then asked in a faint voice.

Li Wensheng hurriedly stepped forward and held the old woman's hand tightly, "Mother, it's me, I'm back, I've changed some money, and I can find you a doctor right away." ”

"Wensheng, don't spend any more money for your mother, after your mother dies, just find a place to bury it, and leave the family's money for you to study, my mother's biggest regret is that I didn't let you live a good life." The old woman shook her head and said in a weak voice. (To be continued......)
