Chapter 3 Daoguang official kiln yellow glaze small bowl

R&F Hotel in Taicheng

Li Mingcheng just came out of the elevator, walked to his room, walked to the room, sat on the sofa, opened the brocade box, took out the bowl, looked at it carefully, he knew that this was the bowl of the Qing Dynasty, but he didn't know which emperor it was. So he took out the black box containing the Night Pearl, opened the box, and then took out the Night Pearl and planned to ask the sword soul.

"You weren't in the Qin Dynasty before, the text of the Qin Dynasty is Xiao Seal, you see what these words are." Li Mingcheng shouted the sword soul.

"The words written on this are the Great Qing Dao Light Year system, as for who Daoguang is, I don't know." The sword soul is probably sleepy, and he doesn't really want to speak.

Li Mingcheng, who has a certain understanding of history, knows that the emperor he saw was the Daoguang Emperor who signed the Nanjing Article Yue and compensated Britain with 21 million silver dollars. It is said that the emperor at that time in order to save money and enrich the treasury, advocated frugality, he wore a patched dragon robe, and the minister in order to cater to this open-door emperor, but also made a scene of ministers competing to buy torn clothes in the bazaar, but he did not listen to the outside of the window, and the silver saved by the treasury was often greedy by the courtiers, alas, I really don't know how to describe this emperor. And because of his frugality, he also asked all localities to stop paying tribute at that time, which made it difficult for the prefects at that time, and in order to take care of the emperor's face, he changed the name of the tribute to "filial piety", so the tribute was still sent to the palace in a steady stream. Emperor Daoguang can only accept this kind of "filial piety" for his own tribute, which is called "reward", because the emperor calls people things rewards, and accepting things from people is called "rewards". This should be the porcelain made by the Jingdezhen imperial kiln that Emperor Daoguang "appreciated" at that time, because it was a tribute to the emperor by the royal family, so it was exquisitely made, and there were many palace utensils, and the tribute items were not necessarily all used, and the things that had not been used were put in the warehouse. So although this bowl was a palace utensil more than a hundred years ago, it was not used much, so the shopkeeper regarded this bowl as a handicraft and sold it to Li Mingcheng cheaply.

After knowing the origin of this bowl, I immediately checked the price on the Internet and found that similar things in recent years were auctioned for about 350,000 yuan. In fact, the full name of this kind of bowl is called yellow glazed bowl, in the Qing Dynasty Yongzheng, Qianlong period there are similar items to pay tribute, to the Daoguang period, because the national economy has weakened, the things made are far less exquisite than the Yongqian and Qianqian dynasties. In the evaluation of Emperor Daoguang in later generations, he was not regarded as a Ming monarch who made achievements, and the items of the Daoguang period were far less popular among private collectors than those of the Yongqian period, and the prices had not been speculated. In addition, although it is a palace artifact, compared with some porcelain with more exquisite craftsmanship, it is relatively ordinary, and the amount of existence is not particularly rare, so it is not very precious.

After knowing this, Li Mingcheng climbed Mount Tai for a day, and he was also a little sleepy, after all, climbing the mountain is a physical work, so he put the box containing the sword soul on the bedside table of the hotel, took a bath by himself, was drowsy, and went to sleep after pressing the central air conditioner to a suitable temperature.

The next day, Li Mingcheng booked a high-speed rail ticket early, and then took a taxi to the station, fortunately he didn't bring many things, otherwise he really couldn't get a big bag. Taicheng and home are in the same province, not too far away, buy a business seat, because usually Li Mingcheng thinks that the second-class seat is crowded and dirty, everyone has it, and the first-class seat is not very comfortable, so it is generally bought for business, expensive is a little expensive, but it is better than comfortable and quiet. This time, he brought a porcelain yellow glazed bowl from the Daoguang period, and he also contained a sword soul, so he couldn't sit in the second-class seat.
