Chapter 439: Firewood Kiln (Part II)
"Ahh I remember! ”
As soon as the shopkeeper's voice fell, the middle-aged man who had just explained the matter to Zhu Dafu suddenly realized: "The young man who was with Zhu Shopkeeper just now should be Chu Chen, Liu Lao's closed disciple!" ”
"Oh! I said why is he so familiar, it turned out to be him! ”
"Is it the young over-the-top expert from the last expert group?"
The middle-aged man nodded again and again: "Yes, it's him!" ”
"No, then how could he spend money on that fake?" The shopkeeper said with a look of surprise.
"What else is going on, there must be something in there!"
"Probably not!" The shopkeeper shook his head and said: "I also saw the three-legged wash, although the glaze is azure glaze, but the color is too dark, it does not look like it is being fired in the kiln, and there is no ice chip pattern on the surface, and the bottom of the foot is also a little yellow, and only beginners who don't understand it will think that it is an imitation of Ru kiln." ”
"So what's going on! That Chu Chen's eyesight is very high, it can't be really because he thinks it's a pity that something is smashed, right? ”
The middle-aged man said with a smile: "Do you believe this reason?" I still think there should be something special about that three-legged wash, but we can't see it, it seems that one day we will go to Zhu Da's shopkeeper to explore the wind. ”
"Why don't we go now!" Someone next to him said anxiously.
"If you want to go, you are not afraid of being knocked out of the door! ……”
Chu Chen walked into the living room of the Reading Treasure Pavilion with a bag of honey locust fruits, and he had just walked in with his front feet. Wang Xiangong couldn't wait to ask: "I said Xiao Chu, you hurry up and tell me, what's going on with this three-legged wash?" Is it really a three-legged wash of a Ru kiln? It doesn't look like it! ”
Chu Chen smiled and said, "I don't know now!" ”
Wang Xiangong blew his beard and glared and said: "I said Xiao Chu, you are a little unauthentic, it has come to this point, you still refuse to tell the truth!" ”
Chu Chen spread his hands and said with an innocent face: "Elder Wang, you really wronged me, this three-legged wash has been remodeled, I really don't know if it is the three-legged wash of Ru kiln under the concealment layer!" ”
The two heard what Chu Chen said. Immediately, his face was full of surprise. After half a ring, Zhu Dafu suddenly remembered something, and asked with a shocked face: "Xiaochen, do you mean that this three-legged wash has been covered up by the "makeover" method?" ”
"Eight or nine is not far from ten!" Chu Chen nodded.
"Wait!" Wang Xiangong asked suspiciously: "What do you mean by "makeover"? ”
"This is a method of covering up antiques in ancient times...... Zhu Dafu gave Wang Xiangong a simple explanation of the "makeover".
Wang Xiangong suddenly said: "No wonder Xiao Chu you went to get the honey locust fruit." So that's what happened! That's right. How do you know this is the "makeover" method used. Have you ever seen an object disguised in this way before? ”
Chu Chen nodded and said, "I have indeed seen artifacts that have been disguised in this way, and when I saw the luster of this thing quite similar just now, I wanted to buy it." Later, when I got my hands on it, I confirmed that this three-legged wash was really using this kind of disguise. ”
Wang Xiangong wanted to ask Chu Chen what he had encountered before, but seeing that Chu Chen didn't want to talk deeply, he didn't ask any more, everyone has their own secrets, and if they asked more, they couldn't say anything, and they were annoying to others.
"Makeover" is magical, and it's often hard to remove, but with the right approach, it's easy.
Chu Chen soaked the three-legged wash in a basin of warm water, and smashed the honey locust fruit on the side, and when the time was almost up, he poured the pounded honey locust fruit into the water and began to wash it, and after a while, the real three-legged wash appeared in front of the three of them.
This three-legged wash has a straight mouth, a flat bottom, and a three-bent foot underneath. The inside and outside are covered with azure glaze, the glaze color is pure, the glaze is smooth and normal, and the glaze is smooth and delicate, like jade. The bottom of the wash is full of glaze, and there are 5 small nail marks.
At this time, Wang Xiangong's expression was a little sluggish and said: "How does this azure glaze look even better than the azure glaze of Ru kiln!" ”
Zhu Dafu also nodded and said: "Yes, it reminds me of a poem by Zhou Shizong, "The rain has broken through the sky and the clouds, and the color is the ...... in the future"
After reading this poem, the three of them couldn't help but start looking at each other, and after a long time, Wang Xiangong opened his mouth and said: "Is this really a firewood kiln?" ”
At this time, Chu Chen also reacted, this three-legged wash must be the legendary firewood kiln, he had already used the ability on it on the road just now, and he was very shocked by the result given by the ability at that time, but because Zhu Dafu and Wang Xiangong were still waiting for him, plus he would be able to show his true face after a while, he didn't think much about it.
What he never expected was that this three-legged wash would be a firewood kiln porcelain that he had never heard of and had never seen before, which really shocked him.
Firewood kiln, China's ancient porcelain kiln, for Zhou Shizong Chai Rong's imperial kiln, firewood kiln has not found the real thing and kiln site, of course, if Chu Chen's three-legged wash is sure to be fired by the firewood kiln, it will change this history. This is also the fundamental reason why the trio were so shocked and excited.
Of course, if it was an ordinary utensil, they would not have such a reaction, this qiē is because the firewood kiln is too beautiful and too rare.
Ouyang Xiu's "Returning to the Field" in the Northern Song Dynasty has a relevant introduction to the firewood kiln:
"Chai's kiln color is like the sky, the sound is like a chime, the world hopes to have its fragments, with gold ornaments as a tool. Ru kiln is quite similar, at that time set up a kiln Ruzhou, the people did not dare to make privately, and now it is also rare. ”
And compose a poem saying: Whoever sees the color of the firewood kiln, the azure rain is outdated. Ru kiln is more magnetic, and the official bureau is selfless. Pink and green fetal gold knots, Hua pancreas light and darkness. The purpose of the sound of the jade must be planted with flower branches.
In just a few sentences, the peculiarities of the firewood kiln are vividly displayed in front of the reader's eyes.
Ming Zhaoxi also recorded in his "Five Miscellaneous Works": "The pottery firewood kiln is the oldest, and today's people have its fragments, and it is also the same price as Jincui." The cover color is fresh and blue, and the quality is complex and thin, which can decorate toys; Those who have become instruments will never be seen again. ……
In addition, there are many people such as Xu Yingqiu, Zhang Qiande, and Liang Tongshu of the Qing Dynasty in their own works, praising the firewood kiln.
To sum up, there are three reasons why the firewood kiln was praised by many ancients as the crown of all kilns and became a rare treasure.
First of all, the firewood kiln is specially made for Zhou Shizong's royal porcelain, which is used to worship the gods of heaven and earth.
Secondly, the scarcity is expensive, the firewood kiln is not long, and as the royal porcelain must be kept improving, the number of firing must be limited, the firewood kiln is rare in the Song Dynasty, and its fragments are made of gold ornaments. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, it was not seen even more, and its fragments were used as clothing and hats.
The most important point is that the utensils of the firewood kiln have very wonderful characteristics, such as "moist and delicate, with fine lines, different colors, for the crown of all kilns", "blue as the sky, bright as a mirror, thin as paper, sound like chime", "firewood kiln porcelain is dazzling, like a flying arrow", these all point out the wonder of the firewood kiln.
Just like the azure glaze three-legged wash in front of the three people, it can be seen from the words of Wang Xiangong and Zhu Dafu just now that the glaze is extraordinary, and the tire is really as thin as paper, which is more exquisite than the three-legged wash of the Ru kiln that the three of them have seen.
In addition, the jade-like glaze is indeed delicate like mutton fat jade, and it looks like it has a layer of oil-like luster, which can be described as light. Touching the porcelain with his fingers also makes the sound of "bells", which just verifies the aforementioned Ming Rujing and the sound of Qi Qi.
Proving these four points, the three of them are already ninety percent sure, and they are sure that this is indeed a well-known firewood kiln fired utensils.
But how should the "fine lines" mentioned in the ancient text be explained? Wang Xiangong said with a frown.
Zhu Dafu frowned and thought for a while, and said: "I think the "fine lines" mentioned in the article are probably not the same lines as the opening film, think about it, the description of the opening film in "Gegu Yao" is generally described in detail, for example, the opening description of the brother kiln is "The brother kiln takes the cracks, the blood is the top, and the plum blossom ink is second." Fine broken lines, under the lines also. And like the official kiln is called the "crab claw pattern", and the same is true for Ru kiln porcelain. ”
So I think "fine lines" should refer to tiny lines that are difficult to spot with the naked eye. ”
Wang Xiangong thought about it and felt that what Zhu Dafu said made sense, so he said: "Xiao Chu, in this case, you can take a closer look at the tire glaze first." ”
Chu Chen hurriedly waved his hand and said, "The two elders are present, how can it be the turn of the boy first?" ”
Zhu Dafu said with a smile: "Okay, you are the master, how can there be a reason that the master didn't do it, and the guests did it first?" ”
Wang Xiangong also smiled and nodded when he heard this, expressing his agreement.
Seeing this, Chu Chen no longer pretended, put on gloves, took out a magnifying glass, and prepared to pick up the three-legged wash and prepare to observe it carefully.
However, what Chu Chen didn't expect was that when the three-legged wash was facing the light, suddenly its surface began to flash with a gorgeous and colorful rainbow light like pearl luster, and that kind of beauty immediately shocked the three of them!
After a long time, Zhu Dafu muttered to himself: "I finally know what the book means when it says "dazzling and dazzling, like flying arrows"! It's a myth! ”
Wang Xiangong was dumbfounded, his eyes were also full of obsession, and he couldn't help but admire: "The ancients said that the firewood kiln is the crown of all kilns, and it is really deserved to see it today!" ”
At this time, Chu Chen changed the position of the three-legged wash slightly, and said with a surprised face: "Come and see, is there a pattern like silk?" ”
The two elders hurriedly stepped forward to take a look, and found that with Chu Chen's movements, when the rainbow light flashed, there was indeed a kind of silk-like texture flashing.
After a long time, Wang Xiangong first asked in astonishment: "Could it be that this is the kind of "fine lines" mentioned in the "Gegu Yao"? (To be continued......)
