Chen Sihai didn't answer, but gently opened the red satin that wrapped the things on the table, only to see that there were two small bowls on the table, a big wrist, a wine glass, a vase, and a plate. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Although these porcelains have different colors, different styles and different shapes, they all look extremely exquisite, and they are brilliant and brilliant under the illumination of the light, and they are extraordinary at a glance.

"Could it be that these porcelains belong to the five famous kilns?" Zhao Guohua asked in disbelief

Nodding solemnly, Chen Sihai said: "It took my grandfather, my father and me three generations to collect these pieces of porcelain, and the silver is hundreds of thousands, and the hardships are difficult to describe. At this, he stared at the porcelain on the table, and fell into the memory.

Zhao Guohua listened to him quietly.

After a while, Chen Sihai continued: "There are many famous kilns at home and abroad in the Song Dynasty, such as Yaozhou kiln, Cizhou kiln, Jingdezhen kiln, Longquan kiln, Yue kiln, Jianyao kiln, and Ru, Jun, Guan, Ge, Ding and other products known as the five famous kilns have their own unique styles. Yaozhou kiln (Tongchuan, Shaanxi) products are exquisite, the fetal bone is very thin, and the glaze layer is uniform; Cizhou kiln (Pengcheng, Hebei) uses magnetite clay as a blank to produce porcelain with white porcelain and black flowers; The products of Jingdezhen kiln are thin and colorful, light and exquisite, and the whiteness and transmittance are promoted as one of the representative works of Song porcelain; Most of the products of Longquan kiln are pink or green, and the glaze is beautiful and bright; The porcelain fired by the kiln is thin, delicate and delicate, and the luster is beautiful; The black porcelain produced by the kiln is one of the famous porcelains of the Song Dynasty, and the black glaze is as bright as lacquer; Although these kilns are also famous kilns, due to various reasons, their reputation is not as good as the five famous kilns, so most people only know that there were five famous kilns in the Song Dynasty. ”

"Although the Song Dynasty is not strong militarily, but it is a strong point to engage in porcelain, calligraphy and painting, especially Song Huizong, if the emperor of the Song Dynasty puts the energy of porcelain on the governance of national affairs, I am afraid there will be no Liaojin New Year's coin, and there will be no later Jingkang shame." Zhao Guohua said with a sarcastic smile.

Nodding, Chen Sihai said: "Indeed, porcelain reached the peak of development in the Song Dynasty, and the attention of the royal family is inseparable, the five famous kilns in the Ru kiln for the Song Dynasty five famous kilns crown, porcelain glaze to light main color, the color is moist, the kiln site is in Qingliang Temple, Baofeng County, Henan Province, the Song Dynasty belongs to Ruzhou, hence the name. Ru kiln is famous for firing blue-glazed porcelain, and its utensils mostly imitate bronze and jade shapes, mainly including halberd zun, jade pot spring bottle, gall bottle, bottle, and wash. The carcass is as fine as fragrant gray, mostly wrapped in foot burning, and there are small nail traces left at the bottom of the utensils. The glaze color mainly includes azure, sky blue, light pink, pink blue, moon white, etc., the glaze layer is thin and shiny, the glaze bubble is large and sparse, and it is called "few like the morning star". The glaze has fine stripes called "crab claw patterns".

The time of Ru kiln to burn porcelain for the court is only about 20 years, about the first year of Zhezong Yuanyou of the Northern Song Dynasty (1086) to the fifth year of Chongning of Huizong (1106), so there are very few heirlooms, and they are regarded as rare treasures. ”

As he spoke, he picked up the vase-like porcelain and said, "This is the Azure Jade Pot Spring Vase." You can see that the glaze layer is thin and shiny, the glaze bubble is large and sparse, and the glaze has fine crab claw patterns. ”

Zhao Guohua took it carefully, observed it carefully, and after reading it, he said: "Sure enough, that's the case." ”

"My grandfather spent 100,000 taels of silver on this bottle." After hearing this, there was a sound of inhaling in the room.

With a faint smile, Chen Sihai took the Azure Jade Pot Spring Vase and put it away carefully.

He picked up a peculiarly shaped wine glass and said: "This is the porcelain cup of the Jun kiln, and the kiln site is in the Bagua Cave in the city of Yuzhou City, Henan Province. There are many colored porcelain fired in the kiln, the best is carmine, the porcelain of green and ink color is also good, the kiln uses the different characteristics of iron and copper to burn out a variety of glaze colors such as blue with red, purple spot or pure azure, pure moon white, etc., based on the cyan color of opal luster, which has the effect of opaly and opaque. Another characteristic of Jun porcelain is that irregular flowing thin lines often appear on the glaze, called "earthworm walking mud pattern". Jun kiln porcelain is a famous kiln in history, with a wide variety of varieties and unique shapes, and is famous all over the world for its magnificent and unusual Jun glaze. Its achievement lies in the addition of copper metal in the glaze, and the kiln changes are produced by high temperature, so that the glaze color is mainly blue, blue and white, with rose purple, begonia red, etc., colorful, beautiful as the morning sunset, in the Song Dynasty, it enjoys the reputation of "gold is priceless", "even if there is family wealth, it is not as good as Jun porcelain". ”

Zhao Guohua took it and watched it, this cup is moon-white, the glaze is milky and opaque, and there are irregular flowing thin lines on the glaze, nodding while looking at it.

"This cup was also purchased by my grandfather from a wealthy merchant for 100,000 taels of silver."

After speaking, Chen Sihai picked up a large beige bowl and said: "This bowl is from the official kiln, the official kiln is the official kiln of Bian Jing, the kiln is located in Bian Jing, and the kiln is famous for firing blue glazed porcelain for the palace organ kiln. The main types of utensils are bottles, respects, washes, plates, bowls, and there are also styles such as ding, furnace, goose, and Yi that imitate the bronze ware of the Zhou and Han dynasties, and the shape of the utensils often has a graceful and elegant court style. The selection of porcelain raw materials and the allocation of glaze color are also very particular, and the iron content of the porcelain clay used is extremely high, so the color of the fetal bone is black and purple. The mouth of the vessel is glazed along the part due to the glaze, revealing purple black under the thin layer of glaze, commonly known as "purple mouth"; The bottom foot is exposed, so it is called "iron foot". The official kiln porcelain of the Song Dynasty not only paid attention to the texture, but also pursued the beauty of the glaze of the porcelain. Its thick-glazed plain porcelain is rarely decorated, mainly decorated with glaze color, and common azure, pink blue, beige, putty and other colors. The glaze layer is generally thick, and the glaze surface has many open pieces, which are very different from the brother kiln of the same period, generally speaking, the official kiln has a large ice crack with thick glaze, and the thin glaze opens a small piece, and the brother kiln is the most famous for the fine caviar pattern. ”

After Zhao Guohua took it and looked at it, Chen Sihai put the big beige bowl away and said, "This is what my father bought from a declining official eunuch for 80,000 taels of silver." ”

Then, he picked up a white plate and said, "This is Dingyao porcelain, and the kiln site is in Jianci Village, Quyang, Hebei." It was first burned in the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, and was burned in the Northern Song Dynasty, and gradually declined in the Jin and Yuan dynasties. The Northern Song Dynasty Ding kiln is mainly fired white glazed porcelain, the porcelain produced by the Ding kiln is fine, thin and bright, the porcelain color is moist, the white glaze is like powder, called powder or white ding, and the decoration methods include scratching, carving, printing and pinching. The ornamentation is common with lotus, peony and daylily, and the picture is simple and vivid. In addition to firing white glaze, the kiln also burns black glaze, green glaze and sauce glaze. Plates and bowls are the most common shapes, followed by plum bottles, pillows, boxes, etc. It is common to engrave the words "Fenghua", "Juxiu", "Cifu" and "Official" at the bottom of the vessel. Plates and bowls are covered with burning, and have the characteristics of mangkou and tear stains due to glaze sagging. ”

"You see, this is a peony ornament, and there are carved flowers here. At the bottom of the plate is the word "Cifu". Chen Sihai took the plate and pointed it out to Zhao Guohua one by one.

After Zhao Guohua saw it, he said with admiration, "It's true, I can't imagine the appearance of this kind of plate if I don't see the real thing." ”

Finally, Chen Sihai picked up the pair of black and gray small bowls and said: "This pair of bowls is made of porcelain, and its tire color is black, dark gray, light gray and earthy yellow, and its glaze is a transparent opaque glaze, and the glaze color is mainly gray and blue. Common utensils include furnaces, bottles, bowls, plates, washing, etc., all of which are of excellent quality and fine workmanship, all of which are the style of porcelain for the court, which is very different from the porcelain of the folk kiln. The porcelain of the hand-me-down kiln is not found in the Song tomb, and the kiln site has not been found, so it is generally believed that the kiln belongs to the official porcelain kiln of the Song Dynasty. ”

"Listening to your words is better than reading for ten years, tonight is really not an empty trip." After listening to Chen Sihai's introduction to the porcelain of the five famous kilns, Zhao Guohua sincerely admired

Haha smiled, Chen Sihai said: "Porcelain is inseparable from glaze, the development of porcelain glaze is from unglazed to glazed, and from monochrome glaze to multi-color glaze, and then from underglaze color to overglaze color, and gradually developed into underglaze and glaze co-painted five-colored, bucket color. Colored porcelain is generally divided into two categories: underglaze color and overglaze color, and the picture is drawn on the tire blank first. case, the colored porcelain smelted in the kiln after glazing is called underglaze color; After glazing, the porcelain fired into the kiln is then painted, and the colored porcelain made by the furnace fire is called glaze color. The famous blue and white porcelain is a type of underglaze color. The successful firing of the delicate white glaze in the Ming Dynasty and the successful firing of the monochrome glazed porcelain with copper as the coloring agent made the porcelain of our dynasty rich and colorful. The diversification of porcelain glazing methods marks the continuous improvement of porcelain-making technology. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Guohua suddenly remembered one of the most famous porcelain in the Ming Dynasty, "Chenghua Doucai", so he asked: "Shopkeeper Chen, I heard that there is a very famous porcelain in my dynasty, called Chenghua Doucai, what is that?" ”

Looking at him, Chen Sihai said: "Chenghua Doucai is a kind of porcelain created and fired during the Chenghua Dynasty, which is a kind of porcelain fired by adding overglaze color to the underglaze blue and white contour line. ”

"No wonder it's called Doucai, it turns out that this is the reason." Zhao Guohua then understood the meaning of Doucai.

After putting away those few pieces of precious porcelain, Chen Sihai talked about overseas anecdotes again, seeing that he was talking about it, Zhao Guohua remembered the future bone china business, so he wanted to ask about the source of his porcelain, but he was afraid that he would be too careful, so he hesitated in his heart, and he wanted to stop talking.

Chen Sihai was so shrewd, he had already seen Zhao Guohua's strange appearance out of the corner of his eye, so he said with a smile: "General Zhao, you and I are both credible people of Lord Xiong, and they are so speculative, if you have something to ask me to help with, please say it, if you can help, I will never refuse." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Guohua said: "Shopkeeper Chen, I have something I want to ask you, I hope you don't mind." ”

Looking at him carefully, Chen Sihai said, "Please speak." ”

"Where did you get the porcelain you sell from?" Zhao Guohua asked.
