"Ah! I remember
As soon as the shop owner's voice fell, the middle-aged man who had just explained the whole story to Zhu Dafu suddenly realized: "the young man who was with manager Zhu just now should be Mr. Liu's closing disciple Chu Chen!"
"Oh! Why do I look so familiar? It's him
"Is it the young over expert in the last expert group?"
The middle-aged man nodded and said, "yes, that's him!"
"No, how could he spend money on that fake?" The shop owner said in surprise.
"What else can happen? There must be something in it!"
"I don't think so." The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "I've seen that tripod wash. Although the glaze color is azure glaze, it's too dark. It doesn't look like it was burned in a kiln. Moreover, there is no ice flake on the surface, and the sole of the foot is yellowish. Only beginners who don't understand it will think it's an imitation of Ru kiln."
"What's the matter! That Chu Chen's eyesight is very high. It can't be true, because he thinks it's a pity that something is smashed, right
The middle-aged man said with a smile: "do you believe this reason? I still think there should be something special about that three legged wash, but we can't see it. It seems that we should go to shopkeeper Zhu to explore the wind one day. "
"Why don't we go now?" Someone nearby said anxiously.
"If you want to go, you won't be afraid of being kicked out!"
Chu Chen carried a bag of Gleditsia sinensis fruits into the reception hall of Yuebao Pavilion. As soon as he stepped in, Wang Xiangong couldn't wait to ask: "I said Xiao Chu, please tell me quickly, what's the matter with this three legged washing? Is it really a Ru kiln's three foot wash? It doesn't look like it! "
Chuchen said with a smile: "I don't know now!"
Wang Xiangong blew his beard and glared at him and said, "I said, Xiao Chu, you are a little bit out of the ordinary. You are not willing to tell the truth at this point."
Chu Chen spread out his hand and said innocently: "Mr. Wang, you really wronged me. This three foot wash has been changed. I really don't know if it's Ru kiln's three foot wash under the cover!"
When they heard what Chu Chen said, they immediately showed a look of surprise. After a while, Zhu Dafu suddenly thought of something and asked in shock: "Xiao Chen, do you mean this three legged wash has been covered up by the" face changing "method?"
"Eight or nine is ten!" Chu Chen nodded.
"Wait!" Wang Xiangong asked suspiciously, "what do you mean by" changing face "
"This is an ancient way to hide antiques..." Zhu Dafu gave Wang Xiangong a simple explanation of "changing face".
Wang Xiangong suddenly said: "no wonder, Xiao Chu, you will go to get soap pods. That's what happened! By the way, how do you know it's a "facelift" method? Have you ever seen anything covered up in this way before? "
Chu Chen nodded and said, "I've actually seen the object covered up in this way. Just now I saw that the luster of the object was very similar, so I wanted to buy it. Later, after I got it, I confirmed that this three foot wash really used this kind of covering up technique."
Wang Xiangong wanted to ask Chu Chen what he had met before, but seeing that Chu Chen didn't want to talk about it in depth, he didn't ask any more. Everyone had his own secret. If he asked more, he couldn't find out what he didn't say, which was annoying.
Although "face changing" is magical and difficult to remove, as long as you find the right way, everything will be easy.
Chu Chen soaked the three feet in a basin of warm water, pounded the Gleditsia sinensis while he was at the same time. When the time was up, he poured the pounded Gleditsia sinensis into the water and began to wash it. After a while, the real three feet appeared in front of them.
This is a three legged wash with straight mouth, flat bottom and three curved feet. The glaze is pure in color, smooth and normal, delicate as jade. Wash the bottom full of glaze, there are 5 small nail marks.
At this time, Wang Xiangong said with a dull expression: "this day's green glaze looks even better than that of Ru kiln's green glaze!"
Zhu Dafu also nodded his head and said: "yes, it reminds me of a poem by Zhou Shizong:" the rain passes, the sky is blue, and the color is the future "..."
After reading this poem, the three of them began to look at each other. After a long time, Wang Xiangong said with tongue tied, "is this really a wood kiln?"
At this time, Chu Chen also reflected that this sanzuxi must be the legendary chaiyao. Just now, he had used the power on it on the road. At that time, he was very shocked by the result of the power. However, because Zhu Dafu and Wang Xiangong were waiting for him, and he would show his true colors in a short time, he didn't think much about it.
To his surprise, this tripod wash was a kind of wood kiln porcelain that he had never seen before. It really shocked him.
Chai kiln, China's ancient porcelain kiln, was the imperial kiln of chairong of Zhou Shizong. No real object or kiln site has been found in Chai kiln so far. Of course, if chuchen's sanzuxi was definitely fired in Chai kiln, it will change this history. This is the fundamental reason why the three people are so shocked and excited.Of course, if they were ordinary utensils, they would not have such a reaction. All this is because the wood kiln is too beautiful and rare.
Ouyang Xiu's collection of returning to the fields in the Northern Song Dynasty introduces the Chai kiln:
"the color of Chai kiln is like the sky, and the sound is like a chime. The world hopes to get its fragments, and use gold ornaments as tools. The Ru kiln is quite like this. At that time, there was a kiln in Ruzhou. The people did not dare to build it privately. It is rare today. "
He wrote a poem: "who can see the color of wood kiln, the sky is green and the rain is out of date.". Ru kiln magnetic more similar, the official bureau made selfless. The powder is emerald, the fetus is golden, and the Chinese pancreas is bright and dark. If you want to play the sound of Jiayu, you must plant the flowers.
In just a few sentences, the various peculiarities of Chai kiln are vividly displayed in front of readers.
Xie Zhaoxi of the Ming Dynasty also recorded in his wuzazu: "the wood kiln of pottery is the most ancient, and today people get its fragments at the same price as jincui. The color of the cover is fresh and green, but the quality is thin and can be used to decorate toys, while the finished product can never be seen again
Others include Xu Yingqiu, Zhang Qiande, Liang Tongshu and so on. Many people praise chaiyao in their works.
To sum up, there are three reasons why Chai kiln was praised as the crown of all kilns by many ancients and became a rare treasure.
First of all, Chai kiln is a Royal Porcelain specially made for Zhou Shizong. It is a ritual vessel for worshiping the gods of heaven and earth. Princes and ministers can't use it. It reflects its dignity from its birth.
Secondly, the rare is the most valuable. The time of making wood kilns is not long. In addition, as Royal Porcelain, the quantity of wood kilns must be limited. Wood kilns were rare in the Song Dynasty, so the pieces were made of gold ornaments. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was not seen, and the fragments were used as clothing and headgear.
The most important point is that the utensils of the Chai kiln have very wonderful characteristics, such as "moistening, fine lines, different colors, ranking first among all kilns", "green as the sky, bright as a mirror, thin as paper, sound like a chime", "the porcelain pieces of the Chai kiln shine brilliantly, like flying arrows", which all point out the wonders of the Chai kiln.
Just like the azure glaze three foot wash in front of the three people, we can see the extraordinary color of the glaze from the words of Wang Xiangong and Zhu Dafu just now, and the utensil is really as thin as paper, which is more exquisite than the Ru kiln three foot wash that the three people have seen.
In addition, the glaze like jade is really delicate, like lanolin jade. It looks as if it has a layer of grease like luster, which can be said to be a source of light. Touching the porcelain with your fingers, you can also make the sound of "Dangdang". These two points just verify the above saying that Ming is like a mirror and the sound is like a chime.
These four points have been proved, and the three of them are 90% sure that they are really famous wood kiln fired utensils.
"But how to explain the" fine lines "in ancient Chinese Wang Xiangong said with a frown.
Zhu Dafu frowned and thought for a while, and said: "I think the" fine grain "in the text is probably not the same as the opening grain. If you think about it, the opening grain in gegu Yaolun is generally described in detail. For example, the opening description of Ge Yao is" Ge Yao takes the crack of grain and the blood of meal first, followed by the ink grain of plum blossom. ". Fine lines, even under the lines. " For example, the official ware is called "crab claw pattern", so is Ru porcelain
"So I think" fine lines "should refer to tiny lines that are hard to find with the naked eye."
Wang Xiangong thought for a while, and felt that Zhu Dafu's words were reasonable, so he said, "Xiao Chu, in this case, you should first take a look at the glaze."
Chu Chen quickly waved his hand and said, "the two elders are here. How can I be my turn first?"
Zhu Dafu said with a smile: "OK, you are the host. How can you say that the host didn't do it, and the guest did it first?"
Wang Xiangong also smiles and nods to show his agreement.
Seeing this, Chu Chen stopped pretending. He put on his gloves, took out his magnifying glass, and was ready to take up the three legged washing machine and observe it carefully.
But what Chu Chen didn't expect was that when sanzuxi was facing the light, his performance suddenly began to flash with seven rainbow lights as gorgeous as pearls. That kind of beauty immediately shocked the three people!
After a long time, Zhu Dafu murmured to himself, "I finally know what the book says about" dazzling light, like a flying arrow "means! This is just like a myth
When Wang Xiangong was stunned, his eyes were also full of obsession. He could not help but exclaim: "the ancients said that Chai kiln is the crown of all kilns. Today, it really deserves its name!"
At this time, Chu Chen slightly changed the position of sanzuxi, and said with a look of surprise: "come and have a look, is there a silk like pattern?"
The two elders rushed forward to have a look, and were surprised to find that, with Chu Chen's action, the rainbow flashed, and at the same time, there was a silk like pattern.
After a long time, Wang Xiangong asked in amazement: "is this the kind of" fine lines "mentioned in gegu Yaolun?"
