Chapter 937

Like Zhao Xueyi, Lao Chang is a famous broker in the antique shop in Beijing. However, in his eyes, there are only two kinds of people: the rich and the poor. The so-called rich people can often earn a lot of benefits from each other, otherwise they are poor people.

The old strategy for the rich is to fish for a long time. As long as the other party can always buy things in his place, besides fidelity, he will also give a certain discount in terms of price. Of course, the discount will not be too big, but with his eloquence, even if there is only a little discount, the buyer will feel that it is worth the money.

If you always treat the poor, you'll have to kill them. Many buyers who are attracted to fame but not strong have suffered a little loss from him. However, he does not dare to do too much. Even if he sells fake goods, they will vary from person to person. The rest of the buyers are either expensive or lack of goods, which makes people unable to find trouble.

Because of this, although Chu Chen had heard of Lao Chang, he never bought anything from him. Even with Uncle Wu's relationship, Lao Chang did not dare to cheat him, and he did not want to deal with such people.

Lao Chang's home is also a small courtyard, located near Panjiayuan. It only takes more than ten minutes to walk.

It's also a coincidence that when Chu Chen and his car stopped at the gate of Lao Chang's house, Lao Chang happened to deliver a guest with something in his hand to the door.

Lao Chang looks like 50 or 60 years old. He looks like a simple and honest man. If you don't know what he is, you can't imagine that this guy is as cunning as an old fox.

When he saw Chu Chen and others coming, he was slightly stunned. Then he said hello with a smile. Although he behaved naturally, Chu Chen still saw a trace of complex emotions in his eyes, including pity, disappointment, depression and so on.

Xiang Facai saw Lao Chang and his anger rose, but he didn't attack on the spot. Until Lao Chang led everyone into the living room, he said with a smile: "Lao Chang, I'm here today. I think you should know what I'm doing. I won't say much about it. Just tell me what you plan to do?"

Lao Chang said with a smile, "Mr. Xiang, most of my money has been changed into rice yuan now. I have no money to pay you back at all."

When he said this, he said "bad luck" in his heart. How could this fat man find someone to identify him immediately? If he went abroad for another day or two in the evening, he would have to pay for the loss. Otherwise, the fat man would not be willing to give up.

"It's all my fault. It's not life and death. I want to go to my mother's house to see some relatives." The old man thought with some resentment.

Xiang Facai sneered and said, "your action is very fast."

Mr. Chang bowed and said, "Mr. Xiang, I really have no money. If I have money, I will return it to you immediately without saying a word. How about this? I have several other things. The added value is higher than that of Ruyi. If you think it's OK, I'll give them to you. How about that? "

Xiang Facai found that what Lao Chang did was exactly the same as what Duan Xuefeng said, but he didn't want to talk with Lao Chang, so he asked coldly, "is it true or not?"

The old man vowed: "it's all this time. Why do I cheat you? If it's not right, I'll take care of it. I'm sure there won't be any complaints! "

Xiang Facai waved impatiently: "OK, OK! Go and get something, but if I'm not satisfied with it, don't blame me for being rude. "

"Mr. Xiang, if you have a hundred hearts, you will be satisfied with everything! You can have a cup of tea first, and I'll come as soon as I go... "

After four people had a cup of tea, Lao Chang came in with two boxes carefully. After putting the boxes on the table and opening the lid, Lao Chang said with a smile: "you guys, take a look at these two things first, and I'll get the rest."

With that, he said goodbye and went out the door.

Seeing the things in one of the boxes, Chu Chen said with a smile, "I'm very capable of getting the flower bottles with in glaze colors."

Xiang Facai looked over his head and then asked with some doubts: "Mr. Chu, what is the glaze color in glaze? I haven't heard of it before."

Chu Chen replied, "the color in glaze is also called the underglaze five colors. In addition, it also has a name called Li, Ling, Mao and CI. You must be familiar with Xiang Zong, right?"

In the end of Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, Li Ling's porcelain artists invented a new kind of color porcelain technology, the color in glaze, so there were three kinds of color porcelain in China.

In glaze color is also called underglaze five colors. Five colors are just a general term. In fact, there are more than five colors. Strictly speaking, any color can be burned. The technological process is characterized by first applying a thin layer of glaze on the embryo of porcelain, then firing it in the kiln at high temperature to become white porcelain, and then drawing various pictures with various colored glaze on the white porcelain, and then firing it in the kiln at low temperature. This process is basically the firing process of overglaze colored porcelain.

Then, a layer of transparent glaze is applied on the fired porcelain, and the porcelain is fired at a high temperature in the kiln. At this point, in glaze porcelain was completed.

It's easy to say, but it's very important to master the temperature during several times of firing. If the temperature is too high or too low, too fast or too slow, the whole kiln porcelain may be scrapped. As a result, only a few people mastered this technology, and the output was very small. By the beginning of the Anti Japanese War, the technology had been lost, and its survival time was about 30 years.Later, the state mobilized all the technical forces to tackle the key problems, restored this kind of craft, and produced the famous Li, Ling, Mao and porcelain.

Xiang Facai heard what Chu Chen said and said excitedly: "is this bottle Mao porcelain?"

"It's impossible." Chu Chen shook his head and said with a smile: "let's not say that Li, Ling, Mao and porcelain do not have this type of ware. If I read it correctly, it should be a work of the late Qing Dynasty, which is quite rare. Of course, whether it's true or not, you have to see it before you know. "

Xiang Facai is a little disappointed when hearing that, but he immediately adjusts his mood and asks Chu Chen to help identify the authenticity of things.

The bottle is about 40 cm high, with beautiful shape, wide and straight mouth, bulging neck, folding shoulder and oblique abdomen inward, which is full of rhythmic beauty. The outer wall is decorated with underglaze five colors, and the theme pattern is painted with folded branches of peony, grapes and pomegranates. The color is simple and elegant, just like a traditional Chinese ink painting. At the same time, it also uses the perspective of Western painting and combines realism with freehand brushwork, which has a strong three-dimensional sense.

In addition, the bottom of the bottle has blue and white regular script of "Xiangnan porcelain company in the second year of Xuantong of the Qing Dynasty".

This bottle presents the typical style of Li, Ling and porcelain in terms of production technology and painting style, integrating the beauty of body quality, glaze color, technology, shape and decoration. In addition, Xiangnan porcelain company was destroyed in 1918. It can be said that this Li Ling porcelain in 1910 is a rare treasure.

After careful observation, Chu Chen nodded and said, "it's really genuine."

Although Xiang Facai was very happy to hear that it was genuine, he sighed a moment later: "ah! But it's not Mao porcelain. "

Duan Xuefeng said with a smile: "come on, it's good if it's genuine. If it's really Mao porcelain, can it be your turn?"

Xiang Facai said with a smile, "people all have a good reputation for Sichuan, and I just like Mao and porcelain. I dream of owning one, and I don't know when I can realize this dream."

At this time, chuchen said with a smile, "Mr. Xiang, my kiln has resumed the production process of 7501 porcelain a while ago. I wonder if you are interested in it?"

"Really?" After hearing this, Xiang Facai and Duan Xuefeng showed their disbelief.

Chuchen smile: "a few days ago I brought back a few sets from porcelain, if you are interested, you can go to my shop to have a look."

Hearing this, Xiang Facai began to rub his hands and fists excitedly and said, "I'm not only interested, but also ready to buy some sets!"

Duan Xuefeng also nodded his head and agreed that even if it was only a modern imitation, the collection value would not be low by the name of porcelain. Besides, without mentioning the collection value, he told others that this kind of porcelain was used at home, which also had a special face.

Chuchen smiles. Seeing that Lao Chang comes back with something, he means to solve the problem in front of him first. The porcelain problem will be discussed later.

The other box that the old man used to take just now contained a piece of Hetian white jade weighing about 10 kg. Of course, this is not a fake of Qing Hai Yu, but an authentic Hetian white jade seed material. In the current market, this seed material is very valuable.

For the second time, Lao Chang brought two boxes, one of which contained a piece of Songhua stone inkstone made in the Kangxi reign of the Qing Dynasty. It was a treasure, of course, of great value.

To sum up, the value of the things in these three boxes is almost the same as the money used by Lao Chang to buy that Ruyi, even if the difference is not much.

However, in order to make up for Xiang's wealth, Lao Chang had to bear the pain and take out another utensil.

Mr. Chang opened the box and said, "Mr. Xiang, this is a yuan blue and white peony jar I bought some time ago..."

"What? "Blue and white in Yuan Dynasty?" Hearing this, Xiang Facai exclaimed. And chuchen and they all looked at each other, this old often not silly, unexpectedly will use yuan blue and white to compensate Xiang Facai?

"No, no!" Lao Chang waved his hand and said, "it's not the real blue and white of the Yuan Dynasty, but the imitation of the Yongzheng period."

Xiang Facai was puzzled: "I don't seem to have heard of the blue and white of Yuan Dynasty imitated in Yongzheng period. Lao Chang, are you wrong?"

Chu Chen also shook his head and said, "there was no imitation of blue and white porcelain in the Yuan Dynasty in the Ming and Qing dynasties or the Republic of China, because at that time, the antique circles all over the world believed that the Yuan Dynasty could not produce colorful blue and white porcelain."

"They believe that blue and white porcelain was first made in the Hongwu Period of the Ming Dynasty. As it was just started to be fired, the technique was not up to standard, so the color of blue and white hair was black or gray. The bright color of blue and white hair began in Yongle of Ming Dynasty, after Zheng He's fleet transported back imported cobalt materials. In this case, how could there be the yuan blue and white imitated by Yongzheng? "

In China, many porcelains have imitations, including the five famous kilns and the official kilns of the past dynasties. Ming Dynasty imitates Song Dynasty, Qing Dynasty imitates song and Ming Dynasty, Republic of China imitates song and Ming Dynasty. But there is an exception: blue and white in Yuan Dynasty. The reason, as Chu Chen said, was that all people at that time believed that it was impossible to make beautiful blue and white porcelain in the Yuan Dynasty.

There are two other examples of this. One is the blue and white standard of the Yuan Dynasty. It's the blue and white dragon Elephant Ear vase of the Yuan Dynasty now in the grand Vader Museum.It appeared in the capital in the 1920s. Several big men took it out of the temple and carried it to Liuli factory to exchange some money. The year of the Yuan Dynasty is clearly written on the bottle. But all the experts of Liuli factory laughed: Hongwu blue and white can't be well burned, is your Yuan Dynasty so beautiful? And it's so big, it must be fake.

In the end, the object fell into David's hands. People thought he was a "fool" and "hit the eye". Even he did not dare to put them on display at the beginning and put them in the warehouse as tuition fees.

The second one is the famous plum vase named Xiao He Yuexia chasing Han Xin. This plum vase is an unearthed object. When it was first unearthed, the authoritative department dated it to the Ming Dynasty. Fortunately, some people knew the Pearl with their eyes at that time and finally stayed in China.

The reason why people at that time thought so was that the technological characteristics of blue and white porcelain of Yuan Dynasty only persisted until the early Ming Dynasty, and disappeared after Xuande of Ming Dynasty.

Due to the difference of national character, the out of print of raw materials, the variation of painting style, especially the change of Dynasty, the blue and white porcelain of Yuan Dynasty stopped abruptly in history. In Ming and Qing Dynasties, there was no imitation of blue and white porcelain of Yuan Dynasty, which formed a special blank area of nearly 600 years.

It was not until the 1950s that a doctor from the United States confirmed the existence of Yuan blue and white porcelain. However, a large number of Yuan Dynasty utensils were unearthed in China in the 1970s, which proved the existence of Yuan blue and white with scientific methods. It was not until the late 1970s that the blue and white of the Yuan Dynasty was officially recognized all over the world. It was not until the mid and late 1980s that the porcelain capital began to imitate the blue and white plates of the Yuan Dynasty, and then it began to imitate other utensils of different shapes.

The truth is that up to the mid-1980s, few people in China and even in the world knew about the blue and white porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty, let alone a large number of imitations. At that time, the imitation market seemed good, and it was thought to be true. But today, when people gradually find out the essential characteristics of Yuan blue and white porcelain, they find that Yuan blue and white porcelain can not be imitated, leaving no opportunity for future generations.

In this case, Lao Chang actually said that he had a copy of Yuan blue and white in the Yongzheng period. Chu Chen was sure that Lao Chang's thing was either a fake or a mistake.

Lao Chang said with a smile, "to tell you the truth, I used to think that there was no imitation of Yuan blue and white in the Qing Dynasty. However, based on my more than 20 years of experience, I can be sure that it was from the Yongzheng period. If you don't believe me, you can have a look at it."

It was strange to hear Lao Chang's vows, so when Lao Chang opened the box, they looked into it. Inside it was a blue and white fish algae pattern folding plate. This plate is exquisitely made, very much like a fine porcelain produced by an official kiln
