Of course, not every genuine product has the characteristics of "crab claw pattern", Cao Zhao of the Ming Dynasty has such a description in the "Gegu Yao": "Ru kiln, out of the north, the Song Dynasty burner." Light cyan, the crab claw pattern is true, the no pattern is especially good, the soil vein is charming, thin and even rare. ”

This text is Cao Zhao's accurate description of Ru kiln, clearly pointing out that the color of Ru porcelain is light cyan, and those with crab claw patterns are true, and those without them are even better.

Most of the existing Ru kiln ware on Shijie has crab claw patterns, but a small number of them do not open the piece, which is the so-called unmarked.

And "morning star thin" refers to the sparse bubbles in the glaze, like the morning star. "Sesame nail glaze satisfaction" refers to the bottom form of Ru porcelain, one is to use the nail to burn, the shape of the nail is like the sesame grain-like oval. And the glaze is satisfied, it is glazed to the end, leaving no circle.

And these five identifications are the characteristics of the authentic Ruguan kiln, and they can be reflected one by one in this round wash.

This washing fetal bone is light and thin, and "the sound of the buckle is like a chime". The glaze color is blue in the blue, pure and warm, and the glaze surface faintly shows a soft and subtle luster. It is not only different from the milky light of Jun porcelain, but also different from the fat light of the brother kiln, but a kind of luster similar to the ancient jade. The glaze is thin and smooth and evenly attached to the fetal bone, and is translucent.

And Chu Chen took a 20-fold magnifying glass to observe, and he could clearly see that the bubbles in the glaze were large and sparse, like pearls inlaid in the bright night sky, which was the proof of the saying that "the glaze bubbles of Ru ware are like morning stars".

In addition, there are some other characteristics of this wash, which are also genuine, and there is no place for counterfeiting. These can prove that this azure glazed round wash should be a genuine product of Ruguan kiln in the Song Dynasty, and then tested with special energy, the result was not unexpected by Chu Chen.

Chu Chen looked at the round wash in his hand, he was really excited, this is Ruguan Kiln! After the Jin destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty, the Ru kiln also died. It is only 20 years before and after the kiln opening time, because the firing time is short, there are not many generations, in the Southern Song Dynasty, Ruguan kiln porcelain has been very rare, and there are less than 100 pieces of genuine products that have been handed down to this day.

Southern Song Dynasty Zhou Hui's "Qingbo Magazine" cloud: "It is forbidden to burn in the Ru kiln palace, and there is agate end glaze inside. Only for the royal selection and retreat, only to be allowed to sell, close to especially rare." Ye Zhen of the Southern Song Dynasty "Tan Zhai Bi Heng" said: "This dynasty to Dingzhou white porcelain mang, unusable, so ordered Ruzhou to make green kilns, so Hebei, Tang, Deng, Yaozhou are all there, Ru kiln is the leader. ”

Since the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, the court Ru porcelain utensils, the inner library is hidden, regarded as a treasure, and Shang Yi Zhou Ding is more expensive. It is called "even if you have a lot of money, it is not as good as a piece of porcelain". Mr. Li Kuchan, a famous master of Chinese painting, once said, "It is difficult to call it perfect without you in the world's museums." ”

Chu Chen didn't expect that his father would leave such a precious thing for himself, and while he was excited, he couldn't help but shed tears of remembrance when he thought of his father's love for him.

Liu Guomin's body, because of that special era, has not been very good. However, since he adopted Chu Chen, although life has been a little harder, it is because of Chu Chen, who is dependent on each other, that his health has been better for a while, but there is no way, after all, the foundation is there.

When Chu Chen was about to be sixteen years old, Liu Guomin, who was nearly fifty-six years old, couldn't hold on anymore, and he originally wanted to confess to Chu Chen, including this azure glaze round wash, but one day, he accidentally fell, hit his head on a stone, and immediately fell unconscious.

Originally, he was about to come to the end of his life, and he had such a thing again, but after being in a coma for seven days, he never woke up, and Chu Chen had no way of knowing about this round wash.

Stroking the round wash in his hand, Chu Chen sighed at the same time, he hated fate for letting his father pass away like that, and he was a little glad that he didn't know that his father had left him such a valuable thing.

If Chu Chen knew that there was such a Ruguan kiln, it would be a good thing not to see it, after all, he was still very old at that time, his self-control ability was very low, and he had the same impatience as ordinary young people.

When Chu Chen first arrived in the capital, when he saw the bustling metropolis, he also longed for the life of a drunken man, and fantasized that he would suddenly have a large amount of money one day, so that he would not have to work so hard to set up a stall, and he would not have to hold a book every day.

If Liu Guomin had told him about the Ruguan kiln, it was very likely that this Ruguan kiln would already be in someone else's collection room. And even if he didn't want to sell it, in case others knew that he owned Ruguan Kiln, with Chu Chen, who was just an ordinary person at that time, the hope of being able to keep it was too slim.

Shaking his head, Chu Chen didn't think about it anymore, and then, he kept playing with the azure glaze round wash in his hand.

Slowly, the characteristics of Ruguan kiln were constantly displayed in front of Chu Chen. The glaze is like silk, warm and simple, bright and shiny, the glaze is like a pile of grease, quiet and elegant, the color is moist and pure, and the round wash is with the refraction of the lights in the house, showing a charming brilliance that makes people feel intoxicated, so that he really can't put it down.

Seeing this time, it was enough to see that it was more than one o'clock in the morning, and Chu Chen reluctantly put the round wash carefully back into the box, which was also because the things were too valuable, and he really couldn't feel at ease when he put them somewhere else. ……

The next day, Chu Chen got up energetically at five o'clock, looked at the weather, the sky was beautiful, and today was another sunny day. After washing, Chu Chen didn't have time to exercise, so he came to the old village chief's house and wanted to ask him if there was a suitable box for placing the round wash.

As soon as the old village chief saw Chu Chen, he said happily: "Chen Wazi, you got up so early, you haven't had breakfast yet, if you don't dislike it, you can take a break on my side." When you're done, bring another bowl to the girl. By the way, Chen Wazi, is that girl your daughter-in-law? ”

Chu Chen waved his hand and said with a smile: "Old village chief, you are laughing, where is my daughter-in-law now, that is my sister, Chu Yulan." ”

"Huh? Surname Chu? So, it's your own family, right? Brother national, he can be regarded as at ease now! The old village chief said in surprise.

Chu Chen smiled and nodded, and then said, "Old village chief, do you have a smaller box here?" ”

"A little smaller and a box? How big? ”

Looking at Chu Chen and comparing the size, the old village chief thought for a while and said, "There are only cardboard boxes, do you want them?" ”

"It's okay, as long as it's sturdy."

The old village chief answered, went home and took out a cardboard box made of cardboard, saw that Chu Chen was satisfied, and then said: "Chen Wazi, I want Yougen to go to the school, he is also an intellectual in our village, and it is no problem to treat people and things, do you think it will work?" ”

There are so many people in one village, and as soon as the old village chief said the name, Chu Chen remembered which one it was. Lu Yougen, 28 years old this year, the only carpenter in the village,

Although he only graduated from junior high school, among many villagers who did not even graduate from elementary school, he was indeed considered an intellectual.

And he is honest and enthusiastic, and he is indeed the most Haode candidate in the village.

Chu Chen waved his hand and said with a smile: "Old village chief, you think it's okay to do this, I have no opinion." ”

"That's okay, by the way, don't worry about Mrs. Fuquan's side, I called someone in my village, and they will help carry it to the school in a while, just do it."

"What's so embarrassing, I'm standing on the side and looking at it, right?" Chu Chen said with some hesitation.

The old village chief waved his hand and said: "Chen Wazi, I know you are sincere, but don't talk about your help to build roads in the village, you have paid for the medical expenses of Fuquan's mother-in-law, she is also a villager of our Lujia Village, we people, it is appropriate to help these people." Alright, that's it, let's go to breakfast. ”

After listening to the words of the old village chief, Chu Chen didn't say much about this matter, and he was sad to talk about it.

After eating breakfast, it was estimated that Chu Yulan should also get up, so Chu Chen brought her a bowl of breakfast and went back. When she got home, Chu Yulan was already washing, Chu Chen greeted her, and returned to the room with the cardboard box, ready to decorate it, and then put the round wash inside.

Because the things were so valuable, Chu Chen was afraid that when he walked for a while, he would bump into them, so he arranged them very carefully, and it took him half an hour before he felt satisfied.

Chu Yulan finished breakfast, and when she saw that the door was not closed, she came in to ask Chu Chen about her itinerary today, only to see that Chu Chen was taking the round wash out of the box, and then carefully put it in the carton.

Seeing Chu Chen's solemn expression now, Chu Yulan was afraid that she would disturb him by walking, so she stood motionless at the door.

"Yulan, what are you doing standing there?"

After the things were placed, Chu Chen looked up and saw Chu Yulan standing at the door, and when he saw her cautious appearance, he felt a little strange.

"Brother, I saw you putting things away just now, I'm afraid of disturbing you."

Chu Chen smiled and said, "Come here, you don't have to be so careful, my guts are not so small." ”

When Chu Yulan heard this, she happily walked to the box, looked at the round wash in the box curiously, and then said with a surprised face: "Brother, isn't this the round wash of azure glaze?" ”

"Yes, I didn't expect Xiaolan that you also know ancient ceramics now?" Chu Chen said with a smile.

Chu Yulan said a little shyly when she heard this: "I'm just interested in these, I just learned it for a short time, and now I just understand a little bit." ”

Chu Chen said happily when he heard this: "Hehe, Xiaolan, are you also interested in ancient ceramics?" This is very good, it contains a lot of ancient culture of our nation, and you will like it more and more if you study it slowly. ”

Seeing Chu Chen so happy, Chu Yulan couldn't help but smile on her face, the reason why she learned about ceramics before was because she saw the enamel bowl in Xijing and thought it was very beautiful, so she felt some interest, and after going home, she bought a few books to read.
