Chapter 239: Jun Kiln Small Bowl
Speaking of this, Wen Yuting's eyes rolled and she said with a smile: "Yulan, you and Brother Chu are not brothers and sisters, don't you want to kiss each other?" As soon as she finished speaking, she ran to the school.
Wen Yuting's words made Chu Yulan stunned, and then chased after Wen Yuting with a flushed face.
"Dead girl, there's a kind of you don't run!"
Wen Yuting said as she ran: "Don't even think about it!" β
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
When Chu Chen drove to Liu's house, Dong Fatzi was still on the way, and those case-handling personnel had not yet arrived.
After greeting Liu Lao, Chu Chen put the set of provincial silver coins on the table and said, "Master, take a look, this is the set of provincial silver coins I got." β
After Liu Lao looked at this set of silver coins one by one, he said with a smile: "It is indeed a set of provincial silver coins, especially these five-pointed and five-cent ones, others have been looking for a century, but they have not found it, and they have been obtained by you so lightly, your luck, it is really haode has nothing to say." β
Chu Chen scratched his head and said with a smile: "This, I also think it's quite surprising." β
"Dad, since this set of silver coins is so rare, wouldn't it be a bit of a loss for Achen to sell it now!" Liu Qinshu asked beside him.
Liu Lao said with a smile: "In terms of the future trend, there will definitely be a loss, but Lao Dong also built a small bowl of Jun kiln, and he won't lose much." But things certainly can't be said like that, antiques, if they are all compared with the future trend, then all those who sell antiques are at a loss. β
"That's right."
Liu Qinshu thought about it, and it was indeed the case. So he asked, "Ah Chen, how much did you spend on this set of silver coins?" β
"Five and eight hundred thousand in total." Chu Chen replied.
Liu Qinshu heard the price. Instead, he was a little strange and asked, "Huh." I thought you had found it again. β
Chu Chen smiled when he heard this, briefly said the previous things, and then said: "In that case, it is impossible for me to take down this set of silver coins at the price of the leakage, otherwise I will not be able to get over it with my conscience." β
After listening to what Chu Chen said, while lamenting the misfortune of that family, Old Liu's father and daughter also nodded and praised Chu Chen's behavior.
Liu Lao said with relief: "We should have a bottom line and do something as people." Don't do something, let's be an upright person, we must not make money, Achen, you did the right thing, do it well. β
"Master, it's nothing, I'm just doing things with my conscience." Chu Chen scratched his head and said modestly.
Hearing this, Liu Lao smiled and said, "It's good in conscience." If everyone can have a conscience, you don't have to go to Longxi! β
Chu Chen smiled slightly when he heard this, where there are interests, there are evil hands. The economic value of antiques is so high, it is not surprising that some unscrupulous people have the idea to attack it. But this Tufuzi is really immoral, in order to make money. Just dig up the gas regardless of it, and what's even more hateful. They didn't even let go of the ancestral graves of ordinary people.
However, speaking of Tufuzi. That has to mention another profession, archaeology. Maybe in the eyes of ordinary people, both are grave digging, but archaeology is allowed by the state, so some people call archaeology official thieves.
In fact, there is an essential difference between the two, archaeology focuses on culture, so after the cultural relics are unearthed, they will spend great efforts to protect them carefully.
Tomb robbery is centered on wealth, and some valuable ones may be protected, while some other cultural relics, they will not care, so inadvertently, it has caused the destruction of a large number of cultural relics.
Moreover, the thieves' skill level and equipment are also limited, and the sooner they do this kind of thing, the better, so when they are excavated, it is very likely to cause malicious damage to some cultural relics, and some priceless cultural relics are likely to be destroyed in this way.
In fact, many times, archaeology is also a last resort, in case people find an ancient tomb, if there is no first archaeological excavation, tomb robbers are likely to be the first to climb, after all, as the old saying goes, only a thousand days to be a thief, there is no reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days.
Next, everyone chatted for a while, and Dong Fatzi called, saying that he had arrived at the door of the community. So Chu Chen called the security guards and asked them to let Dong Fatzi's car go, and then went to the door to welcome him in.
As soon as the two sides met, Chu Chen saw a few scratches on Dong Fatzi's face, as if they were scratched by a cat, and immediately said in surprise: "Dong Fatty, what's wrong with your face?" β
Dong Fatzi cried and said with a sad face: "I also suffered from an unwarranted disaster, the day before yesterday, didn't I promise my family Ning Ning to buy her jewelry, so yesterday the two of us happily went to Wangfujing." β
"Walking from the south to the north, I have a sore back and legs, and finally she fell in love with a piece of jewelry, but there is a woman who also fell in love with that jewelry, and there is only one piece of jewelry, but the woman spoke badly to each other, and Ning Ning refused to give up, zuihou I became what I am now!"
Listening to what Dong Fat Man said, Chu Chen said a little speechlessly: "You can encounter this kind of thing when you buy jewelry, fat man, your luck is really declining, but that person shouldn't scratch you like this for no reason, right?" β
Dong Fatzi said indignantly: "That woman is completely mentally ill, I won't just say a word about her, her legs are thicker than her waist, just like that, she wants to scratch me!" β
Hearing this, Chu Chen really didn't know what to say, as the saying goes, a slap doesn't make a sound, it seems that there is still some truth.
Dong Fatzi followed Chu Chen to the living room, greeted Liu Lao respectfully, and then put a brocade box he was carrying on the table and opened it. I saw a small rose-purple bowl displayed in front of everyone.
"Old Liu, Brother Chu, this is the small bowl of the Jun kiln that my grandfather said, please confirm it."
Liu Lao nodded and said to Chu Chen: "Ah Chen, you can watch it first, anyway, the things will be placed here for the time being, I can take a slow look." β
βhaodeγβ
Chu Chen answered, put on gloves, carefully picked up the small bowl in the brocade box, and carefully observed it.
Jun porcelain is one of the five famous kiln porcelains of the Song Dynasty in China, named because it was fired in Junzhou. It is famous for its unique kiln transformation art, known as "gold is priceless" and "the family has a thousand pieces, not as good as a piece of Jun porcelain".
Jun kiln tire quality is delicate, the glaze color is gorgeous and dazzling, and there are countless types, including rose purple, begonia red, eggplant purple, sky blue, rouge, cinnabar, fiery red, and kiln change. There are many types of utensils, but flower pots are the most excellent.
The small bowl of Jun kiln in Chu Chen's hand should be about eight or nine centimeters in diameter, with a regular shape and dignified and generous. Its glaze is thick and moist, the color is rich and changeable according to the turn of the vessel type, the mouth edge and the outer wall are rose purple, brilliant like the sunset, gorgeous and dazzling and endlessly changing.
The moving performance of this glaze color is the biggest feature of Jun kiln. The principle is that it adds a trace amount of copper to the glaze, and in the high-temperature atmosphere of reduction, the glaze is fired into a purple-red glaze with red in the green, which is as unpredictable as a cloud, wonderful and brilliant, and this glaze color is the famous Jun Hong.
But it's not pure red, it has different degrees of purple in it. The varieties of Jun red have begonia red, rose purple, and there is a kind of red with black or gray called "mule liver and horse lung" because it is not burned ideally, this technique is the first time in the history of ceramics, and it is of great significance. It is precisely because of this that Jun porcelain is so precious.
Continuing to talk about the small bowl in Chu Chen's hand, its inner wall is glazed with sky blue, which is quiet and quiet, which is in sharp contrast to the blazing magnificence of the outer wall. Such a combination of warm and cold tones is in line with the principles of aesthetics, reflecting the ingenuity of the craftsmen and the aesthetic taste of the royal family at that time.
Chu Chen carefully observed this Jun kiln small bowl, and after comparing it, Zuihou determined that this should be a Jun kiln small bowl fired by the imperial kiln during the Northern Song Dynasty. Zuihou, to be on the safe side, he also tested it with his ability, and the result was the same as his judgment.
Putting the bowl back into the brocade box, Chu Chen smiled and said, "I think this small bowl should be a genuine product from the Northern Song Dynasty." β
When Liu Lao heard this, he said with great interest: "Oh, then can you tell us what is the basis for your judgment?" β
Chu Chen didn't hesitate, and really agreed: "Haode, let's talk about some of my own thoughts, and I ask for your forgiveness if what I said is wrong." β
"Generally speaking, the Jun porcelain of the Song Dynasty, the fetus is slightly thicker, dense, gray, first plain firing and then glaze, the glaze is very thick, with moon white, azure, sky blue as the basic tone, due to the special composition of the glaze material, when the glaze is hung after the glaze wall and the glaze temperature of the surface layer is different. However, the whole glaze layer is still in a molten state, and the copper molecules in the glaze are reduced at high temperatures, so they will show a purple-red color. β
"And because the glaze is thicker, the glaze tumbles during calcination, the weight of the metal molecules contained in the glaze is different, some float on the surface, some sink at the bottom of the glaze, and the glaze shrinks up and down when cooling, and the temperature is inconsistent, and the difference in temperature difference and density will make the glaze layer produce two different movements. One is the flow from above under the influence of gravity, and the other is the internal and external movement between the inner wall of the glaze layer and the surface layer of the glaze. β
The interaction of these two movements produces a kind of rheological force, and the result of its movement produces a unique phenomenon of Jun porcelain, the glaze layer is floating with light-colored floating glaze, the glaze layer is dark, the lines are smooth, round and natural, the tone is soft and beautiful, just like the traces of earthworms crawling on the thin mud. This phenomenon has a figurative term, called "earthworm walking mud pattern". β
At that time, only the products fired by the "Imperial Kiln" had "earthworm mud patterns", while ordinary folk kiln products did not have this phenomenon. Therefore, it has become one of the significant features of the imperial porcelain of the Song Dynasty, and as the fine or best of Song Jun porcelain, there must be one or very few "earthworms walking mud patterns" in its blue and white glaze, which is called "the rain after the sky is clear and the clouds are broken, and the baby cries like a song and is newborn". β
Speaking of this, Chu Chen picked up the bowl again, pointed to a few places, and said: "You see, this small bowl has this kind of "earthworm walking mud pattern", with this characteristic, it is likely to be a fine Jun porcelain in the Northern Song Dynasty. (To be continued......)
