After all the people on the table had observed the red and green jade pots and spring bottles, Zhao Xueyi couldn't wait to say, "Lao Wu, please tell me your opinion first."
Everyone was acquaintances, and Uncle Wu was not polite, so he said, "well, I'll just say a few points. I have also studied red and green porcelain. According to some materials, I think red and green porcelain was created in the middle and late Song Dynasty, and flourished in the middle Jin Dynasty, that is, in the second half of the 12th century. In the Yuan Dynasty, it continued to be fired, and stopped firing in the early Ming Dynasty. Do you have any questions about this? "
Seeing that everyone said that there was no problem, Wu Shu went on to say, "in the song and Jin Dynasties, low-temperature green glaze began to be used to decorate white glazed porcelain, which was welcomed by the people at that time. Although red color was created by Ding kiln in the Northern Song Dynasty, its technology was first used for reference by Cizhou kiln to obtain the bright red effect of alum. However, the perfect combination of red color and green color, the decoration of white glazed porcelain, low-temperature secondary firing, has become the innovation of Cizhou kiln
In the Northern Song Dynasty, the output of Cizhou kiln was quite large, but the porcelain unearthed from the tombs of the Northern Song Dynasty was mainly white porcelain from the porcelain capital, celadon from Yaozhou Kiln and white porcelain from Ding kiln, while the artifacts of Cizhou kiln were rarely reported. It can be seen that the porcelain of Cizhou kiln in the Northern Song Dynasty was rarely appreciated and used by the upper ruling class and literati. As a result, the literature of Song Dynasty was not recorded until the early Ming Dynasty
Hearing this, Du Hongguo immediately understood Uncle Wu's meaning and said, "Mr. Wu, you just said that you were not good at reporting, didn't you say that you didn't?"
Wu Shu nodded his head and said: "yes, it is true. But so far, at least in the relevant materials, there is no record of red and green porcelain excavated from tombs of the Song Dynasty. Of course, I'm not sure it has not been found. But this is not the point I'm talking about. The point is, do you know why this phenomenon occurs?"
Du Hongguo shook his head, saying that he was not clear.
Uncle Wu explained: "the decorative style of red and green porcelain absorbs the nutrients of folk New Year pictures. The basic color is the color of red and green folk festive activities. The painting method also absorbs the considerable craft of Cizhou kiln, so it is very popular among the people."
"But the red and green porcelain of Song Dynasty also has its obvious shortcomings, specifically, the porcelain body is thick but not white, the decoration is not fine, and the color is easy to fall off. Because of this, it was quite different from the aesthetic taste of the royal family, officials and scholars at that time. What they are after are the most beautiful Ru, Guan, Ge, Ding and Jun, as well as the black glazed tea sets such as Tu Hao Zhan, which are suitable for tea fighting. "
"This is probably the reason why red and green porcelain has not been seen in the excavation of song tombs. However, the Jin people prefer the red and green porcelain, so the red and green porcelain accompaniment can be seen occasionally in the tombs of the Jin people. In addition, the Yuan Dynasty seems to like the red and green porcelain of Cizhou kiln
"Well, the problem is that if the red and green porcelain in Song Dynasty can have the body, glaze and painters like Mr. Du's red and green jade pot spring bottle, do you think that the royal family and literati would not like it in Song Dynasty?"
Du Hongguo looked at his own things and found that no matter from the perspective of fetal glaze, there should be no shortcomings of red and green porcelain of Song Dynasty. However, he still insisted that the things belonged to Song Dynasty. He said: "since there are five famous kilns in Song Dynasty, red and green porcelain of this quality is normal."
Zhao Xueyi said in silence: "Lao Du, can you stop making something out of nothing! The red and green porcelain of the Song Dynasty is at that level, and you can change it? "
Du Hongguo said plausibly: "hundreds of years ago, who can confirm 100%? Perhaps this jade pot spring vase of mine was the improved work at that time? "
After hearing this, Zhao Xueyi felt powerless and said, "Lao Du, according to what you said, you still have blue and white porcelain of Song Dynasty in Ming and Qing Dynasties?"
Du Hongguo was surprised and said, "Gee! How do you know? I don't think I mentioned it to you? Let me tell you... "
Looking at Du Hongguo's introduction of his so-called Qing Hua porcelain in Song Dynasty, everyone's expression was numb. You can't deny that there was blue and white porcelain in Song Dynasty, but it's a joke to say that the blue and white porcelain in Song Dynasty is comparable to that in Ming and Qing Dynasties?
What's more, what Du Hongguo said was that he had already determined that his things were genuine. If you want to persuade such a person, it's all about talking to the cow!
Seeing that Du Hongguo wanted to make a long speech, Zhao Xueyi quickly made a pause gesture and said, "Lao Du, can you stop for a moment? Let's solve the problem of your jade pot spring bottle first."
"All right." Du Hongguo stopped for some time, waiting for Uncle Wu to explain.
"So far, from the archaeological findings, we can see that there is a close relationship between Zhao Yi's artistic standards and people's living habits."
"Generally speaking, ceramic ware can reflect the characteristics of each era in glaze color, decoration, body glaze and other aspects, and the modeling is more prominent in this aspect. Do you think your jade pot spring vase was improved in Song Dynasty, but how to say, it must conform to the aesthetic concept of that time? But your spring vase is obviously not the style of Song Dynasty! "Du Hongguo frowned and said, "I really haven't studied this aspect. Mr. Wu, since you say so, what age style do you think this bottle is?"
Uncle Wu said: "you see, the style of this jade pot spring vase is that the mouth is slightly turned out, the neck is slender and slender, the lower abdomen is not drooping, and the bottom foot is slightly turned out Therefore, from the style of the bottle, it should be the characteristics of the early Yuan Dynasty. In addition, painting techniques Content And so on, are also the style of the early Yuan Dynasty, therefore, from these points of view, this should be a red and green porcelain spring bottle in the early Yuan Dynasty style. "
After listening to Uncle Wu's words, Du Hongguo said, "teacher Wu, do you mean that this thing was made in the Yuan Dynasty?"
Wu Shu shook his head and explained: "from the artifacts unearthed from the tombs of the early Jin and Yuan Dynasties, the shapes, colors and painters of the ceramics are generally simple, unsophisticated, and the colors are not very bright! But your jade pot spring bottle.... "
Next, Uncle Wu explained the jade pot spring bottle one by one. During this period, Chu Chen also made some supplements. It can be said that he has explained in detail why the jade pot spring bottle is a fake. As long as it is a normal person, there should be no doubt.
But it is obvious that Du Hongguo is not a normal person. After pondering for a long time, he said, "thank you for your explanation, but I have some reservations!"
You see Uncle Wu said dry mouth, actually in exchange for such a result, the heart of depression needless to say.
Maybe Du Hongguo also knew that everyone didn't want to see him. Then he packed up his things and told everyone his resignation. Only Zhao Xueyi sent him out of the gate.
After waiting for someone to leave, Chu Chen asked curiously: "Dad, did you know this person before?"
Uncle Wu said with a bitter smile: "yes, but I don't know why you brought him..."
It turns out that Du Hongguo has been engaged in collecting for several years. In the eyes of his friends, although he is older, he is easy to learn and often learns about collecting. In the past, he collected miscellaneous things. However, the year before last, he only collected porcelain and official kilns. He also said, "my friends and I agreed that I only collected official kilns And porcelain of special significance.
However, Du Hongguo said that the price of these official kilns and porcelains with special significance was very low. Whenever he heard others say that it was so cheap that he could not receive good things, he always gave others a strong counterattack without hesitation.
He said, "if you spend tens of thousands of dollars on one thing, you still get a fake! The collection I collected has been identified by experts. There are already six pairs of Kangxi official kilns in the late Qing Dynasty! You are so powerful that you can't sell the same thing! "
Often this statement, always can play a surprise, strong shock the whole field of the magic effect. What's more, Du Hongguo's own aura of Ah Q automatically blocks bad comments on his collection. He firmly believes in his own vision. In the antique market, all collectors who agree with strange comments should have the "quality". The only difference is that he is more "powerful".
What's more, Du Hongguo has a special complex for "a pair". He pays attention to the best pair of things, and pairs of antiques are good in his heart.
The vendors who sell things to him always tell him that this pair of porcelains belong to the family. The elder of the family died, and the brother and sister separated. One by one. If you like it, I'll go and find another one for you. Such a wonderful reason has been used no less than seven or eight times, but he can still buy things every time.
Du Hongguo's mind made chuchen feel that Uncle Wu seemed to be telling some strange story. Is there such a wonderful person in the world?
When Uncle Wu said this, Zhao Xueyi just came in from the door. He said with a smile, "Lao Wu, you don't know. This guy just recently, in less than a week, received what he thought was a pair of colorful bottles of the Song Dynasty."
"He also spent 100 yuan to XX company to show a well-known" expert ". The other party told him that they were all national treasure level things. He was so happy that he almost hung the banner."
"Besides, yesterday he called me and said," Lao Zhao, I'll tell you a secret. Don't tell anyone else! I received more than ten pieces of Ge Yao today! It was unearthed a few days ago! It's so beautiful! "
Hearing this, Chu Chen almost spewed out all the tea he had just drunk. Du Hongguo was so powerful that he could compete with a big country in the universe.
