"Tiancheng, long time no see!"

An old man walked in at the door, his face was ruddy, and his face was childish, Ling Junsheng quickly stood up, greeted him and said respectfully: "Geng Lao is good, it's been a long time!"

Although Geng Baochang was over ninety years old, he was full of energy and full of energy, took Ling Junsheng's hand, and said affectionately: "I heard that you went to a foreign country to recuperate?

"Thanks to your old blessing, the effect is not bad, it can't be compared with your body, I'm ashamed!"

Ling Jun's ecology is very modest, Geng Baochang is not only more than ten years older than himself, but also has more qualifications, which can be said to be the treasure of the Forbidden City.

The old man has been engaged in appraisal work all his life, and he has donated all the hundreds of fine products he has treasured all his life to the Forbidden City for exhibition.

Even the director of the Forbidden City has to pay a disciple salute to Geng Baochang, and the old man can be said to be the last living porcelain appraiser!

Ling Junsheng pulled Wen Yiming and introduced: "This is Wen Yiming, I have studied incense very much, my body has only improved because of him, and I will be with you later." ”

Wen Yiming hurriedly said hello, Geng Baochang nodded, and said with a smile: "Incense is a thing for high-class people to play, in this Forbidden City, the emperor Lao'er has to burn incense every day, leaving a lot of incense props." ”

This sentence made Wen Yiming very interested, this time I came to see the incense props and incense recipes treasured by the palace, and I must appreciate it if I have the opportunity.

The three of them sat down to chat, Wen Yiming handed over the secret color porcelain to Geng Lao, the old man took it and looked at it, and said with a smile: "It's genuine, but it's a pity that it's a porcelain piece, otherwise the value is immeasurable." ”

"Look at this shape should be a small bowl, the same as the batch of Famen Temple, very valuable for research and collection, rare, rare!"

The level of identification has reached their level, basically at a glance, relying on intuition, decades of study, experience has been transformed into feelings, eyes sweeped, hands touched, true and false.

Ling Junsheng saw Wen Yiming's eager expression, and asked Geng Baochang: "Can Elder Geng take the junior to open his eyes and see the real boutique?"

Geng Baochang laughed, in fact, the Forbidden City is not so mysterious, there are often distinguished guests and foreign guests to visit, stood up and said with a smile: "Okay, there are friends from afar, naturally you have to be treated, go!"

Wen Yiming was very excited, followed Geng Baochang to visit the porcelain area, and walked into the treasure house, where all kinds of rare treasures were dazzling, dizzying.

"Northern Song Dynasty Dingyao Hualien lotus pattern hat bowl, new official model!"

"Dingyao white porcelain engraved double fish pattern plate, official word!"

"The Northern Song Dynasty Jun kiln kiln has become a big flower pot, three-character paragraph!"

"Northern Song Dynasty Jun kiln octagonal string pattern bottle, eight-character paragraph!"

"Southern Song Dynasty official kiln powder blue glaze jar, repair the inner kiln!"

Wen Yiming excitedly looked at several treasures of the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty, especially the official kiln jar, which is not only a national treasure, but also an incense prop!

Geng Baochang saw Wen Yiming's excited expression, like a cat seeing a fish, and said with a smile: "The official porcelain of the Song Dynasty represents the highest achievement of Han ceramic art, which was directly built by the government. There are Northern Song Dynasty official kilns and Southern Song Dynasty official kilns. In the early Southern Song Dynasty, the official kiln had a thin glaze, and in the late period, there was a thin glaze. Thick glaze is glazed in several layers or even more than a dozen layers, and the thickness of the glaze even exceeds that of fetal bone. ”

"The glaze color is mainly pink and blue, but there are also colors such as blue gray, green yellow, gray green, yellow green and fried beige. The glaze has open pieces, mainly crab claw patterns, ice cracks, etc., and most of them are sparse light yellow open pieces. In the opening film, the dark red so-called "eel blood pattern" is the top grade, the black "plum blossom piece" is second, and the ink pattern is again. ”

"The official kilns of the Song Dynasty are all used by the royal family, and the type is extremely strict and standardized, and the pursuit of refinement cannot be overstepped. Large utensils are rare, and most of them are small utensils, such as plates, bowls, bottles, stoves, washing and stationery, etc. There are no more than 150 heirlooms, most of which are collected in the two Palace Museums, and a few exquisite works were lost abroad in the early years. ”

Wen Yiming secretly swallowed his saliva, looked at the exquisite official kiln incense bottle, and said secretly: "When will my brother be able to put together a set of Song official kiln bottle three styles, then it is called awesome!"

Geng Baochang didn't notice the ambition of the young man next to him, and pointed to the lotus bowl of Dingyao and said: "I remember that the year before last, Goro Sakamoto sent a similar Dingyao lotus pattern plate to auction, and Qiu Guofu of Sufubi auctioned 150 million Hong Kong dollars, setting a new record for Dingyao. ”

There are many inscriptions on the kiln, such as "official", "new official", "Yiding", "Huiji", "Shang Yao", "Shangshi", "Qiaowei", "Deshou".

"Ding kiln and Jun kiln handed down more, especially Jun kiln, since the Song Dynasty Huizong was the emperor of the past dynasties as the royal treasures, living in the court, only allowed to be owned by the royal family, not allowed to private collection. ”

Geng Lao pointed to the big flower pot and introduced: "The most beautiful is the kiln change, Jun porcelain belongs to the northern green kiln, and the uniqueness is the use of a kind of milky turbidity, that is, the kiln color change glaze is usually said." After firing at high temperature, it will produce such as sunset and sunset, or such as autumn clouds and spring flowers, etc., and no matter how experienced craftsmen do not know the results, they are magical, and they are natural. ”

"Junyao's style is the most special, from one to ten numbers, one is the largest, ten is the smallest. Back then, it was mainly used by Song Huizong to make flower pots, so there were many pots and jars handed down. ”

There is also a saying that the number is for the distinction of glaze color, and "Drinking Liuzhai Says Porcelain" believes that the singular number of 13579 represents the vermilion ware, and the double number of 24680 represents the blue ware. ”

Speaking of this, the old man said regretfully: Now the knowledge of the Jun kiln in the Forbidden City is still five or six or seven, if I can live to see one to ten, I will be blind to death!"

Geng Baochang saw that Wen Yiming was interested in incense props, so he directly led the two of them to the innermost display case, pointed to an azure incense burner and said, "This should be the ultimate dream of all incense masters, right?"

"This ......" Wen Yiming's whole body was shocked, he looked at the small incense burner in front of him excitedly, and said in a trembling voice: "Southern Song Dynasty...... Ru kiln!"

"After the rain, the sky is clear and the clouds are clear**, and the thousand peaks are blue and green!"

Wen Yiming looked at the incense burner in front of him obsessively, the surface of the vessel is a small opening piece of cicada wing pattern, with the characteristics of pear skin, crab claws, and sesame flowers, and is called like jade, non-jade, and better than jade by the world. 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.

He specialized in the study of Ru kiln, which was only 20 years before and after the kiln opening, because the firing time was short, and there were not many generations, in the Southern Song Dynasty, Ru kiln porcelain was already very rare.

There are fewer than 10 museums in the world that have a collection of Ru kiln porcelain, and in 1992 a small plate with a diameter of 8 centimeters sold for $1.54 million at Sufhubby, New York. At the Hong Kong Island auction, Ruyao Sanxian Zun set a sky-high price of 50 million Hong Kong dollars.

On April 4, 2012, Sufubi held an auction of classical porcelain and handicrafts, and the 900-year-old Song Ru kiln azure glazed sunflower was washed and sold for a sky-high price of 208 million Hong Kong dollars, more than three times higher than the reserve price before the auction, setting a new world auction record for Song porcelain, and also one of the achievements of the head Qiu Guofu.

Geng Baochang sighed: "There are less than 100 authentic pieces of Ru kiln that have been handed down to this day, and only 89 pieces are known, including 17 pieces of the Treasure Island Forbidden City, 19 pieces of the Beijing Forbidden City, 8 pieces of the Shanghai Expo, 7 pieces of the David Art Foundation, and about 10 pieces of other pieces scattered in museums and private collections in the United States and Japan." ”

"There are only 130 records of official kilns, and the controversial ones are not counted, and they are all treasures of major museums. ”

"There are more than 200 pieces of kilns in the world, and there are still a very small number of them circulating among the people. ”
