Chapter 16

Shi Dabin had a deep research on the clay preparation, molding techniques, modeling design and inscriptions of purple sand pottery. Making good use of all kinds of clay or mixing clay with sand jar soil has the praise of "coarse sand and uniform ancient structure". It has established a high difficulty technology system of molding out of thin air, which is still followed by purple sand industry.

According to incomplete statistics, there are only a few of his works, including more than ten purple clay teapots, which are collected in museums or private places. Therefore, both antique collectors and purple clay pot lovers regard "Shihu" as the standard.

Because the great reputation of "Shihu" is not only after Shi Dabin's death, but also when he was still alive, there were many fakes. The truth is that "Shihu is sold in the market, but often the fakes are not true". Therefore, it is not easy to get a genuine Shihu.

This purple clay pot is a small pot, which is commonly known as "a pot". Its shape is basically the same as the purple clay pot made by Song Jun just now. It is also a pot with sand hat.

This pot is chestnut in color, with light fine sand mixed with mottle on its surface, clear yellow in color, and grains looming. These clear yellow fine sand, commonly known as "osmanthus sand", this pot adopts the traditional sand mixing decoration technique, blending the selected fine sand into the mud, making the "osmanthus sand" on the surface of the pot looming like petals.

Its processing ratio has reached a very high level of purple sand materials, and the coordination of texture and overall shape formed by sanding also shows the superb production skills.

The lid is in the shape of a hat. The lid is high. An oval button is placed on the lid. The body of the pot is large and spherical. It converges from the abdomen down to the sole of the foot and up to the shoulder.

At the end, the regular script "shidabin system" is carved with bamboo knives, with the addition of branches. The strokes are deep and powerful, and the bone is more than the meat.

Looking at the overall shape of the pot, we can't call it simple and vigorous, and the combination of hardness and softness. We can use four words to describe it, which are "rough but not charming", "simple but elegant", "rough and ancient sand" and "simple and elegant and firm". This pot has both "Dabin" style knowledge and branches, and its production is extremely fine and neat. It is a rare and precious treasure.

"Shihu" is more precious because of its rarity, which also makes it more difficult for people to identify its authenticity. Chu Chen's close observation can be said to be a valuable opportunity to set a standard in today's antique market full of fakes.

After carefully watching this "time pot", Chu Chen felt a sigh of relief. At the same time, he was also sentimentally attached to this pot. It's no wonder that uncle Fu would be reluctant to part with this magnificent and exquisite purple clay pot. In other words, he must be the same.

Chu Chen put the pot into the brocade box and said with admiration, "this pot is so exquisite. Master song, you are really lucky."

Because he is about to get this "time pot", Song Jun is also happy to eyebrow slightly, thanks Zhu Dafu, and says TOEFL to Chu Chen.

Zhu Dafu caressed the pot carefully and said with emotion: "to tell you the truth, I'm really reluctant to give up. However, I think I'm too old and there is no suitable successor among the younger generation. I'll find a good home for my collection sooner or later. This time, I'll follow master song's wishes."

Chu Chen quickly said: "Uncle Fu, you are only seventy-two. How can you say you are old? Besides, you still have sister Xin."

Zhu Dafu said with a smile: "don't worry. I'm just sighing for yesterday's trip. But you can't count on sister Xin. Although she likes antiques, the most important thing is the economic value. To be honest, it's also the sorrow of our profession. "

"Although there are many people who like to collect recently, most of them are interested in the economic benefits. Let's not talk about it. After all, our collection can't go on without money. However, many of them know little about the collection. How can we inherit the culture of our ancestors in this way?"

These words can't help but make them think deeply. Although money is good, too much money will become a stink. Moreover, the more benefits, the more ghosts and snakes they attract, and the artistic and cultural value of the corresponding antiques will be reduced in people's hearts.

Art and culture are often priceless, because it is our spiritual food and also a kind of inheritance. There is always a value for money. If money affects art and culture, it will not only destroy the inheritance of ancestors, but also destroy the future of human civilization.

So the relationship between antiques and money, in fact, is something like the relationship between life and money, your life can not be separated from money, but your life can not be controlled by money. Similarly, antiques can't do without money, but if we talk about antiques with money, we will lose the value that antiques should embody.

"When we are old, there will be more words. Let's just do what we should do. For example, it's too late now. Let's sign the transfer agreement as soon as possible." Zhu Dafu took out the four ready transfer agreements and said to them with a smile.

Chu Chen took over his agreement and simply looked at it. After five years of antique career, he was very familiar with it. In fact, the agreement was very simple. Generally, it was a format. Just write down the names of Party A and Party B, and then write down the amount and items. Both parties had no objection, and sign their own names and dates.The antique industry pays attention to buying and leaving. Signing such an agreement shows that the buyer has confirmed the authenticity of the goods, and there is no reason to settle accounts in the future. If the seller can find something fake after taking it back, it will be a kind of authentication.

But now some appraisal certificates are ambiguous. For example, when the buyer buys a piece of Hetian jade, the appraisal certificate says that it's jade. When the buyer comes home, he finds that it's not Hetian jade at all, but Russian jade. Even if he goes to the seller, he can't find any explanation.

So when you buy antiques, you must polish your eyes. As the saying goes, if you buy antiques, you don't sell them. If you are new to antiques, don't think you can settle the accounts in the future. This time, you need to have more heart when you see antiques with identification certificate.

Chu Chen took the pen, then filled in the name of the article, the amount, and signed the name and date on the agreement, even if it was a deal, and today is also a coincidence. There is a witness signature on the agreement, and Song Jun is here, so he can act as the witness, and he also happens to act as the witness of Song Jun's agreement.

In fact, the certifier of the agreement does play a certain role, but it is not a decisive factor. If there are no conditions, it doesn't matter if it is not written.

After we have signed the agreement, we go to the bank. Fortunately, the bank is not far away. It's only a few minutes' walk.

On the way, Chu Chen said to Zhu Dafu as he walked: "Uncle Fu, why don't you go and get a check, so that you don't have to worry about the transaction, and you have to make time."

Zhu Dafu said with a smile: "I'm old. I'm not used to checks, and I'm always dazzled. It's troublesome if I read or write them wrong. It's better to be convenient in the bank. Besides, we won't always encounter today's large transactions. It's enough to use cash at ordinary times."

After the bank transfer, Chu Chen took out 50000 yuan. Although 50000 yuan seems to be quite a lot, it costs about 20000 yuan only for rent, broadband, and computers. He also needs to purchase other money, and what he usually needs to buy collections. 50000 yuan is easy to spend. It's really easy to earn and spend.

However, Chu Chen was still very excited when he looked at the 450000 yuan in his account. Just a few days ago, he lost 420000 yuan. Today, he not only made up for the deficit, but also had tens of thousands more. He couldn't help feeling.

At this time, Song Jun looked at his watch and said, "it's time for dinner. How about I invite you to dinner today?"

On hearing this, Chu Chen turned to them and said, "how can I let master song invite me to dinner? Today I made a small fortune. Besides, I'm still a landlord. I'm sure I'll do my duty to treat you."

When Zhu Dafu saw that Song Jun wanted to be polite, he said with a smile, "OK, master song, let's rob Xiao Chen today. Next time we go to Yixing, we'll have to trouble master song."

In this way, Song Jun had to nod his head and agree, so Chu Chen took them to find a private restaurant of a higher grade. Now he has food in his hand, and he is not flustered. He really has the style of a small landlord.

During the period, the three people had a heated discussion on the purple clay pot and tea ceremony. Of course, Chu Chen was still a newcomer in these two aspects, mainly Zhu Dafu and song Jun. generally speaking, a meal enjoyed both the guests and the host. At the same time, Chu Chen learned a lot of knowledge and became more interested in tea ceremony.

Although a few cauliflower cost more than 1000 yuan, Chu Chen thought it was quite fruitful. Not to mention the quality of the dishes, he first got to know Song Jun well. Finally, Song Jun promised to give him a set of tea sets made by his novice.

After all, Song Jun is also a famous Pot Maker in the local area. It often takes time to get his works, not to mention money. This makes Chu Chen happy, and he repeatedly says, "how interesting this is!".

After dinner, the three said goodbye to each other. Because Song Jun had something at home, he ordered the train for the afternoon and was ready to go back. It turned out that Chu Chen was going to invite him to visit for two days and ask him about the tea ceremony. Now he can only wait until he has a chance.

But Song Jun was a busy man. I don't know how long it will take for them to meet again. Chuchen still has some regrets in his heart. Fortunately, communication is well developed now, and there will be something I don't understand about tea ceremony. I can still communicate by telephone, but it's still not convenient for real people to communicate.
