Firewood kiln: ancient porcelain kiln. It is recorded that it was founded in Zhengzhou, Henan Province (954) in the early years of Zhou Xiande (954) after five dynasties, and was the imperial kiln of Chai Rong of Zhou Shizong. The firewood kiln has not been found so far, but there is news that "the lost thousand-year-old firewood kiln has appeared in Japan". Zhou Shizong once set the imperial kiln porcelain, "the rain over the azure clouds break the place, the color of the future for the future", according to which it is inferred that the firewood kiln porcelain should be azure glazed porcelain; the firewood kiln is different from the firewood kiln and firewood burning! The firewood kiln is the kiln created by Zhou Shizong Chai Rong in the Zhou period after the fifth dynasty! It is listed as the crown of all kilns! Many legends and records of the firewood kiln are inseparable from this sentence (Gegu Yao): The firewood kiln is the most expensive, and the world will not see it!

The firewood kiln is a legend, a legend. At present, no firewood kiln has been found in Huaxia, but the existence of firewood kilns can indeed be determined, and there are many historical records.

In the third year of Xuande in the Ming Dynasty (1428 AD), Lu Zhen compiled the "Xuande Ding Yi Spectrum" recorded: "...... The inner government collects firewood, Ru, official, brother, Jun, and named kiln utensils, and the style is elegant, and the picture is written and presented...... Its firewood, you, official, brother, jun, and Dingzhong are selected and selected twenty-nine kinds. ”

"Qing Barnyard Banknotes" records that Zhou Zhuqing collected a small water bowl of firewood kiln, and also remembered that Xu Yingxiang, a Qing person, collected a small bowl of firewood kiln, which is bright and blue in color, thin in quality, and rare in the world.

Qing Liang Shaoren's "Essay on Two Autumn Rain Nunnery" records that He Menghua, a Qing man, purchased a piece of firewood kiln from Ruan Yuan, which was inlaid as an ink bed, and the color was also green and lovely. The brilliance is obscure, and it is suspected that the kiln is mixed.

In the Qing Dynasty Liu Tiren's "Seven Songs" in the "Seven Songs", he recorded what he saw with his own eyes: "The firewood kiln is not finished, the near-complex is slightly out of the Yan, the cloth nunnery sees a wash, round and oval, the face diameter is seven inches, the swarthy is deep, the light color is uncertain, the rain over the sky is not enough to describe, the cloth ann said: 'the eyes are blue'." ”

There was a collection record in the Qing Palace, and there were four poems about the firewood kiln in the "Qing Gaozong Imperial Porcelain Poems": two poems of "Yongchai Kiln Bowl", one each of "Yongchai Kiln Pillow" and "Yongchai Kiln Ruyi Pillow".

Shao Yumin's "Supplement to the Ancient and Modern Porcelain Source Examination" written by Shao Yumin and printed in the 27th year of the Republic of China (1938) recorded: "There is a piece of residual porcelain in an antique shop in Liuli Factory, which is cut into a garden shape, with a circumference of about three inches, a thick point, a light glaze of light cyan, and a purple sand embryo is exposed all around. Chai porcelain is as blue as the sky, bright as a mirror, although the color and light are good, and the thin as paper section is inconsistent. ”

The porcelain that has been recorded until the Republic of China, why has not appeared in modern times, not only that, even the kiln site has not been found. It can be said that the firewood kiln is like a passerby in history, leaving a footprint in every dynasty, but it has disappeared and disappeared in modern times. This is a pain in the hearts of many porcelain experts, collectors. Some crazy people have said that if you get a firewood kiln, you will die without complaint.

When it comes to firewood kiln, we have to talk about Chai Rong, the emperor. He was the Emperor of the Later Zhou Dynasty during the Five Dynasties period, and reigned for six years. Grandfather Chai Weng, father Chai Shouli is a local family, grew up in the family of his uncle Guo Wei, because of his prudence and generosity was adopted by Guo Wei as an adopted son, when he was young, he sold tea in Jiangling with the merchant Jiechuan clan, and had experience with the social evils. History records that he "looks strange, is good at riding and shooting, knows a little about the history of Huang Lao, and is heavy and silent". In 951, after the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty, Guo Wei appointed Chai Rong to govern Lanzhou, and his territory was "clean and clean for the government, and thieves did not violate the territory". In 954, Guo Wei died, and Chai Rong succeeded him as emperor.

During his reign, he trained the army, eliminated redundancy, appeased exiles, and reduced taxes, so that the politics of the Later Zhou Dynasty were clear, the people were rich, and the Central Plains began to recover. He also fought in the south and in the north, defeated Houshu in the west, and captured the four prefectures of Qin, Feng, Cheng, and Jie; destroyed the Southern Tang Dynasty in the south, and won 14 prefectures in Jiangbei and Huainan; and broke the Khitan in the north, and connected two prefectures and three passes. He fell ill and died soon after the age of 39 when he was discussing Youzhou, and his temple name was Sejong, and he was called Emperor Ruiwu Xiaowen.

This is a good emperor who is virtuous and virtuous, and he is also a short-lived emperor. Although Chai Rong failed to realize his desire to be the king for 30 years and sweep the world, his five-and-a-half-year reign of civil and martial arts has determined that he will become a decisive figure in ending the more than 200 years of secession and turmoil since the Tang Dynasty. In the face of history, people tend to focus more on the result than on the process. Zhou Shizong Chai Rong, a heroic generation of heroes, made all the preparations to sweep the world and create a prosperous era, but he died young and failed; Zhao Kuangyin, the Taizu of the Song Dynasty, continued the strategy formulated by Chai Rong to dominate the world, ending the turbulent era of wars and disasters and famine, and ushering in the era of the Zhao and Song dynasties with splendid culture.

The firewood kiln is just a firewood kiln for the stability of the people of the world. Chai Rong once said when the porcelain was released: "The rain has broken the sky and the clouds, and the color is the future", in order to symbolize the future national fortune like rain and blue.

The small teacup in Xu Yang's hand may be a firewood kiln, because although he is very similar to the Ru kiln, he is more like the firewood kiln recorded in the history books, Xu Yang can use his ability to identify the approximate year, but the appearance of the Ru kiln and the firewood kiln are only a few decades apart, but these decades are indeed two kinds of porcelain, two generations of porcelain.

Some people have said that in the process of firing the kiln, there were porcelain craftsmen who fired the firewood kiln at that time, but these people could not make the beautiful firewood kiln, so they had to use the skills they knew to study, and finally the Ru kiln was launched.

When Wang Fatzi entered Xu Yang's room, he was still unhappy in his heart, and no one likes to be disturbed at the moment. It's just that when Xu Yang handed him the cup in his hand, his eyes were straight, but he quickly handed the teacup to Xu Yang and said, "I said Xu Yang, did you call me in the middle of the night just to let me see a fake?"

Yes, it's a fake. It's not that the craftsmanship is bad, but it's too good, in the hearts of modern people, such a craft can't be fired in ancient times, those who have played antiques know it, and they have seen it, some of those imitations are really beautiful, very exquisite, it can be said that in addition to being an antique thing, it is absolutely rare to see as a work of art.

"You can take a good look!" Xu Yang smiled when he heard Wang Fatzi's words, this guy is still in shape, I remember that after Tianbaoxuan's kid was identified, he asked the old man to wipe his buttocks, which is also a superb.

"Isn't it just a piece of porcelain imitating Ru kiln, but I have to say that this porcelain imitation is exquisite enough, but this imitation is too good, do you look at Ru kiln porcelain is so thin. The wall of this cup is about to become a piece of paper, you are looking at this glaze, and the azure glaze of Ru kiln is not this color. There are also fine lines on this, the most infuriating thing is the soles of the feet, there are things similar to loess, I have to say that this imitator is also a very imaginative person. ”

Having said so much, Wang Fatzi didn't even think of the firewood kiln, but it is understandable that the firewood kiln has become a legend in the minds of many porcelain experts, and it will be automatically filtered out when identifying porcelain, and Wang Fatzi is guilty of this disease!

"Uh!!" Xu Yang was stunned by Wang Fatzi's words. I had no choice but to take the cup and say: "Brother Wang, take a good look at this porcelain, it's strange here, it stands to reason that this is definitely a modern imitation, but you look at the pulp on the glaze, as well as the precipitation of the bottom foot." After my calculations, this is indeed a work from around the time of the Song Dynasty, but this is indeed not a Ru kiln, I suspect that it is the porcelain!"

Xu Yang didn't want to say so many twists and turns, just say whatever he wanted, Xu Yang's words directly froze Wang Fat, and then with an unconfident look, his hand was also a little trembling and took the porcelain in Xu Yang's hand again.

This time, with Xu Yang's words, he also felt that the more he looked at Zhao Xiang, it was really too similar, this time he asked Xu Yang for a magnifying glass, and looked at it carefully. Machine-processed porcelain has its own characteristics, and hand-fired porcelain certainly has the characteristics of handiwork. So soon, Wang Fatzi identified that this was a purely handmade porcelain.

After the subsequent identification, it was found that as Xu Yang said, this was indeed an antique. The sedimentation of history cannot be faked, and even if the technology is good now, it is impossible to make such a thing. That is to say, Xu Yang's guess just now is credible. When I think of my own identification, all of them are consistent with the firewood kiln. Could it be that he saw the fine firewood kiln today, and he was excited when he thought of this. Regardless of three-seven-twenty-one, he picked up his mobile phone and called out.

It's one o'clock in the morning, the phone is connected, and Xu Yang hears an angry voice in the small microphone, it is Old Man Wang. The old man seemed to be very angry when he got up, and he was also angry. What was scolding was a scolding, and the fat man waited for his old man to scold himself for a minute before he said:

"Dad, you dissipate your anger, I really have something big to find you, if you wait for me to finish, you are still so angry, I will let you scold for an hour when I go back!"

"Then dare to talk about things!" Old Man Wang also heard that his son seemed to have something to do, and said with a calm breath.

"That's right...... I am holding this porcelain in my hand now, and the more I look at it, the more it looks like that one, but Xu Yang and I are not sure, don't we have a book about the records of the firewood kiln, I just want the old man to help me think about it! Wait a minute, I will send the photo of this porcelain to the computer, you can take a look!"

I didn't expect this old man to know how to use a computer, and he is also a good comrade who keeps pace with the times, Wang Fatzi finally took a photo with Xu Yang's other mobile phone and sent it to the computer. Xu Yang felt that he couldn't sleep tonight, so he made himself a cup of tea and a cup for Wang Fatzi, of course, just a crude one.

Soon the phone wanted to ring again, this time the old man was also anxious, Xu Yang said that he heard a loud roar on the phone: "You two little rabbit cubs will come back to me immediately!"

...... Xu Yang was speechless, these two masters are the best, it's almost two o'clock in the middle of the night, if you just go back by yourself, it's not a big deal, but there are still three women lying in that room, this is probably the middle of the night.

In the end, when Wang Fatzi was good at talking, Mr. Wang asked the two to go back early tomorrow morning. After hanging up the phone, Xu Yang looked at the porcelain in his hand, and the expectations in his heart became heavier and heavier!
