Chapter 8: Longevity Bowl
"Thank you!"
With Li Yi's consent, the old man carefully held up the golden bowl with two hands, looked at the bottom of the bowl, his brows instantly stretched, and he sighed in surprise: "It's really a bowl of longevity!" ”
He carefully rubbed the belly of the bowl, looked at the patterns and gold threads on it more and more carefully, and nodded again and again in admiration: "That's right, the craftsmanship of cloisonne, the inscription of the descendants of Yongbao, this is the first bowl in the world used by Qianlong's royal family!" ”
Hearing his words, everyone around them was shocked!
What is this old gentleman talking about?
Qianlong royal?
The first bowl in the world?
Are you kidding!
If it is really the bowl used by Qianlong, can it appear in such a small stall?
The old man obviously also had such doubts, and he asked Li Yi puzzledly: "As far as I know, this set of bowls should be in the Palace Museum?" How could you have it? ”
Li Yi looked at him and did not answer, but asked rhetorically: "Dare to ask who you are?" ”
"Oh, my name is Cai Yi."
The old man hurriedly introduced himself: "I am a research librarian of the Palace Museum, mainly engaged in the preservation and research of ancient ceramics. ”
Hearing his self-introduction, the onlookers couldn't help but be taken aback.
Research librarian at the Palace Museum?
This is the antique expert of the national team!
But the little blacks in the live broadcast room are still questioning.
"Good guys, the experts are running out."
"The first bowl in the world? Why don't you blow a little harder and say it's the world's number one bowl? ”
"Now you can be an expert by pulling out a random person?"
"I've seen a lot of this kind of master, shouldn't this anchor want to bring goods, that's why he acted in such a scene?"
"What? The bowl with the original price of 29,008 is sold for 28 today? 10,000 orders on the shelves? ”
"The Palace Museum? I really dare to brag, now the information is transparent, and you can find it as soon as you check it, I don't believe that this old man is an expert in the Palace Museum, I'll check it now! ”
But before Xiaohezi could verify it, some viewers had already found Cai Yi's information.
"No need to check, I just went to check, it's true, this is really Mr. Cai from the Palace Museum!"
"! It's really Mr. Cai! Ancient porcelain experts! All the overseas exhibitions of porcelain in the Palace Museum are prepared by Mr. Cai! ”
"I am from JDZ kiln, Mr. Cai is very famous in our place, I can testify, this is Mr. Cai!"
As the audience testified, the little blacks were silent for a moment, but they quickly found a new angle of attack.
"The world is going down! Even the experts of the Palace Museum came out to make money. ”
"Teacher Cai is confused!"
Cai Yi didn't know that he was being discussed in the live broadcast room, he carefully held the bottom of the bowl, and explained to Li Yi with some excitement: "I'm sorry! I'm a little happy to see the hunting, it's the first time I've seen a genuine longevity bowl in the folk. ”
At this time, the little girl led by Huang Gongzi in Yangcheng asked curiously: "Grandpa, what is the Longevity Boundless Bowl?" ”
Hearing the little girl's question, Cai Yi explained with a smile: "This is a batch of cloisonne tableware ordered by the palace office on the 80th birthday of Emperor Qianlong, which represents the highest level of imperial work and is very precious." ”
"Cloisonné? What is Cloisonné? Is it tasty? ”
The little girl was puzzled.
"Haha! Cloisonné is not eaten, it is the name of a metalworking process in ancient times. ”
Cai Yi was amused by her: "The proper name of cloisonné is copper tire cloisonné enamel, also known as inlaid enamel, which is a utensil made of various patterns on the copper tire type, with soft flat copper wire, pinched into various patterns, and then filled with enamel glaze in the pattern, and then put it in the kiln to be fired.
It is a metal embryo, but it has the feel of porcelain, and the process is very complicated, and the materials used are also very expensive, so it is only produced by the palace office.
During the Ming and Qing dynasties, there were eight kinds of very clever traditional crafts in the palace office, called Yanjing Eight Uniques, and this cloisonné craft was the first of the Eight Uniques of Yanjing. ”
Hearing Cai Yi's explanation, Old Tang's mood was a little apprehensive, and he couldn't help asking: "Teacher Cai, even if this bowl is a cloisonné craft, how do you know that it is used by the Qianlong Emperor?" ”
If it was really Qianlong's imperial bowl, then wasn't he eating with cultural relics just now?
When Cai Yi heard this, he explained unhurriedly: "Because this set of longevity bowls was originally designed by Qianlong himself. ”
When it comes to the professional field, he is a little selfless, and directly holds up the bowl, pointing to the pattern on the belly of the bowl and saying: "Look at these dragon patterns, these lotus branches, and the words "longevity without borders" are all styles designed by Qianlong himself.
This set of cutlery is the first time in history that an emperor made cloisonné tableware for himself, and Qianlong was the longest-lived and longest-reigning emperor in history.
In his later years, he called himself a perfect old man, and this set of tableware was designed by him for his 80th birthday, so he checked the style, pattern, and color in an all-round way, and ordered it to be redone if there was a slight disagreement, and it took a year before and after it was completed.
This set of tableware is used by Qianlong himself, and no one else is qualified to use it, and the table can only use porcelain bowls.
And even he himself will only use it during festivals and state banquets, so this bowl is called the first bowl in the world.
Qianlong likes this set of bowls very much, you also know that Qianlong is a stamp maniac, he wants to stamp any good thing, and this set of bowls is no exception.
He carved four inscriptions on the abdomen of this set of bowls, which are the four characters of descendants and grandchildren, which means that future generations will pass on this set of bowls as family heirlooms.
So, take a look, is there a descendant Yongbao here? ”
As he spoke, Cai Yi held the bowl and let Old Tang see it for himself.
The assistant came over with a fill light and illuminated the belly of the bowl, and when Old Tang looked, he saw four subtle inscriptions engraved on a Kui dragon pattern, which could be vaguely recognized, it was the four words of descendants Yongbao!
"it!"
Old Tang couldn't help but blurt out, a pair of eyes glaring at the boss.
This is really a bowl of longevity!
"Teacher Cai, do you mean that this is the real Qianlong imperial bowl?"
He couldn't believe it and asked again.
"Judging by my experience, this should be true."
Old Tang took a breath of cool air and hurriedly asked, "Then how much is this bowl worth?" ”
"The value of the Longevity Bowl is not something that money can measure."
Cai Yi said: "Let me tell you so!" In 06, this set of bowls was included in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage lists.
In that year, the United States invited the Palace Museum to hold an exhibition of the Qianlong Emperor, and this set of bowls is also one of the exhibits, and it is the exhibit in the most core area! ”
He rubbed the belly of the bowl and admired it with admiration: "If you have to measure it by money, take this bowl as an example, its value is definitely more expensive than that car!" ”
As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed to the red spicy car on the side of the road.
When the onlookers heard this, they all looked at Wang Tearing Onions on the side.
That's his car.
Seeing the burning eyes of everyone and listening to the whispers around him, Wang Torn Onion's face was expressionless.
He did not refute this Cai Yi's statement.
If this bowl is really Qianlong's royal bowl, not to mention his spicy car, it is a subway, and it may not be as expensive as this bowl.
But why think this bowl is real?
Just because the lips of this old man surnamed Cai touched his lips?
Wang teared the onion thoughtfully, and a thought suddenly appeared in his heart.
This can't be a game against him, right?
After thinking of this, he glanced at Li Yi, who was scrubbing the pot, snorted coldly, and said to the Internet celebrity beauty next to him: "Go." ”
After saying that, he walked towards the spicy method.
The Internet celebrity beauty didn't dare to say more, so she hurriedly followed.
The two got into the car, the engine roared, and the spicy method quickly drove out of the alley.
Seeing this, the onlookers couldn't help but talk excitedly.
"This boss is awesome! It's really not a face-to-tear onion! ”
"Nonsense, a bowl for eating is more expensive than a sports car with green onions, who is richer than whom?"
