The glaze color of cowpea red chrysanthemum petal bottle belongs to red glaze. It first appeared in Changsha kiln in Tang Dynasty. Only in Yuan Dynasty, red glaze utensils were successfully fired. The famous "gem red" glaze was fired in Yongle and Xuande of Ming Dynasty. In Kangxi of Qing Dynasty, on the basis of inheriting the previous generation, it continuously innovated and successively fired langyao red, cowpea red and Jihong.

Among them, cowpea red is the most difficult to cook, and there are thousands of changes in the elegant glaze color. People praise it as "green as the first birthday of Qingshui, red as the morning glow.".

However, due to the difficulty in firing cowpea red glaze, there are basically no large utensils, mainly including bottles, taibaizun, small pots, washing and other stationery utensils.

The glaze color of this chrysanthemum petal vase is bright and clean, which is a rare and excellent work in cowpea red glaze.

This object is also collected in the Palace Museum. There is almost no difference between them. They are all Royal Porcelain of the Kangxi period. We can see the value of these two things.

What's more, they are still a pair.

You know, these antiques have gone through hundreds of years of inheritance, including countless changes, such as war, trade, human damage, and so on. Today, hundreds of years later, it is not easy to pass down the complete quality and appearance.

It can be said that it is extremely rare to make a pair or a combination. Therefore, the auction items that can be seen at the present auction are basically isolated items. If there are pairs, the price can be skyrocketed.

Not only auction houses, but even those old collectors, in order to pair up the objects in their hands, do not hesitate to spend their whole life energy, but can not, and sometimes become a lifelong regret.

After putting down the cowpea red chrysanthemum petal bottle, Lin Xi picked up the blue and white character story bottle of the Yuan Dynasty to check. To be exact, the real name of this porcelain should be called "the blue and white Guiguzi downhill pot of the Yuan Dynasty".

The jar is about 28 cm high, 21 cm in diameter, 33 cm in abdominal diameter, and 20 cm in foot diameter. It has a flat bottom, a wide ring foot, a straight mouth and a short neck, a slightly thick lip and mouth, a round abdomen and a broad shoulder. It gradually recedes under the abdomen and slightly turns off at the bottom.

The blue and white patterns are painted with imported cobalt materials, which are divided into four layers. The first layer is decorated with water ripples on the neck, the second layer is decorated with peony twigs on the shoulders, the third layer is decorated with the theme of "Guiguzi going down the mountain" on the abdomen, and the fourth layer is painted with Chenbao in the lower part of the deformed lotus petal pattern, commonly known as "badamai".

The main decoration "the picture of Guiguzi going down the mountain" describes the story of Sun Bin's master Guiguzi, who, at the repeated request of Su Dai, the envoy of the state of Qi, promised to go down the mountain to rescue the famous general of the state of Qi, Sun Bin and Dugu Chen, who was trapped by the state of Yan.

In the decoration, Guiguzi is sitting in the car pulled by a tiger and a leopard, leaning forward slightly, with an air of self-confidence and transcendence, showing the air of strategizing and winning thousands of miles away.

In front of the car, two soldiers opened the road with spears. A young general was very brave. He rode on a horse, holding a battle flag in his hand, and wrote the word "ghost Valley" on it. It was the rear of the riding Hall of the Su Dynasty.

A group of people and mountain trees and stones form a spectacular and beautiful landscape figure painting. The whole blue and white decoration is rich in color, full in color, dense in style, clear in primary and secondary, integrated. The characterization is smooth and natural, full of verve, and the mountain rocks are full of color and exquisite in writing, which is perfect.

Lin Xi has read in his book, Yuan blue and white porcelain (also known as Yuan blue and white porcelain), Blue and white porcelain was produced in the Tang Dynasty and flourished in the Yuan Dynasty. Mature blue and white porcelain appeared in Jingdezhen of the Yuan Dynasty. The most important feature of the decoration is that the composition is full, and the layers are not disordered.

Blue and white porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty greatly changed the implicit and introverted style of traditional porcelain, gave people a simple pleasure with distinct visual effect, pushed the blue and white painting art to the peak with its heroic spirit and artistic original spirit, and established the prosperity and long-term prosperity of blue and white porcelain of later generations.

"What a rare treasure!"

After admiring, Lin Xi puts down the character jar, picks up the painting, unties the red rope tied in the middle, and asks Yan Shijing to help spread it on the gambling table.

The old appraiser took over Lin Xi's character jar and carefully counted the number of layers on it. Because of the number worship in the Yuan Dynasty, for example, Genghis Khan planted nine flags and appointed nine generals when he was in the army, so the number of layers on the blue and white decoration in the Yuan Dynasty was also the most expensive.

"Is this the painting of reddening mountains in the Tang Dynasty? There is also Yongzheng's "Danzhao Riyue" on it? Damn, what a national treasure

After the scroll was completely unfolded, Lin Xi was shocked to see the contents of the painting. Although he had already used his heavenly eye power to see that the painting was genuine, and he could be sure that it was made in Yongzheng year, he didn't know that it was Tang Dai's the painting of heavy mountains and emerald trees.

If shulao is here, I don't know how excited he will be. Even Lin Xi can't calm down for a long time.

Tang Dai was born in Zhenglan Banner of Manchuria. He was a famous painter in Qing Dynasty. He was a descendant of Zujue, a leader of Xianqi, and an official in charge of the house of internal affairs. He studied landscape painting from Jiao Bingzhen at first. Later, he was a disciple of Wang Yuanqi with Wang Jingming and Zhang zongcang. He was famous in the capital and was awarded "number one painter" by Emperor Kangxi.

In the middle of Yongzheng period, he formally entered the palace as a court painter, and left the palace around the 11th year of Qianlong. During this period, he "met the two dynasties of Shenhe" and "Emperor Qianlong" wrote several poems, and later he was favored ". His works and theories were well-known in the painting academy, and his pen was thick and his layout was deep and stable.

However, in order to meet the needs of the court, its painting style became more delicate, trivial and complex, rich in decoration.This painting of heavy mountains and emerald trees was made in the Tang Dynasty in 1727, when he was 54 years old. It belongs to the mature period.

The whole painting is green in color, exquisite in craftsmanship, and stable in the layout of mountains and rivers. The connection of mountains and rocks is soft and fine, and the outline is round with few square folds. It is not like Wang Yuanqi's typical style of small stone stacking, but pays more attention to the whole, with Zeng Weizhuang's emphasis.

In the close-up view, there are four or five ancient trees on the rocks. The cypress and pine trees are more upright and beautiful, the rules are more fair, and they tend to be more decorative, but they are less ancient and clumsy. But this is just to adapt to the court aesthetic.

The painting itself is of great value, but in the upper right corner of the scroll, in addition to the promotion and the seal of the author himself, there is another small seal, which is at the top. No one dares to be higher than him.

Because that seal is the "Danzhao Riyue" in Xiaozhuan style, which is the imperial seal of Yongzheng emperor, and this seal has a long history.

As I said earlier, the painting was completed in the fifth year of Yongzheng. After it was finished, Emperor Yongzheng loved it very much, especially for the artistic conception of the painting, which made him feel like thousands of miles away, so he put his seal on it.

But if we want to talk about the origin of the seal, we have to talk about a special person in the Yongzheng Dynasty. That person's name is sun Jiacheng, who is famous for fan Yan's direct admonition.

Sun Jiacheng was a Jinshi in the 52nd year of Kangxi. He went through the three dynasties of Kangxi, Yongxi and Qianlong. He was an official of the first grade. He wrote Chunqiu Yi, journey to the south, Nanhua Tong and other books. Emperor Yongzheng evaluated him as: "since I succeeded to the throne, sun Jiacheng was the only one who dared to speak out.

The draft of the history of the Qing Dynasty evaluates it as "Jiacheng gege, Chen shanshuxie, once promoted the name of Shu". In Yongzheng period, he took charge of the Treasury Bank of the household department, and Prince Guo Yunli personally led the team to check his account. He got a lot of points. In the 18th year of Qianlong, he returned to his hometown to provide for the aged. He lived a clean and honest life, which can be regarded as a model of famous officials.

In his life, sun Jiacheng was honest and upright. He had served in more than ten official positions. At last, he was promoted to the assistant bachelor's degree.

According to unofficial records, sun Jiacheng was a poor man until the day he returned home. In order not to be ridiculed by the local gentry, he bought more than ten large boxes full of bricks. Later, someone reported that he was investigated. When he opened them, he found that they were bricks.

Emperor Qianlong knew that he was an honest and upright official, so he replaced all the bricks with real gold and silver.

What does this seal have to do with him?

In ancient times, the seal was strictly regulated. Only the emperor's seal could be called Xi, or Bao. Others could only use it.

Emperor Yongzheng was the first emperor to wear a suit and a wig. He was also the most diligent emperor and the most courageous emperor. He dared to push the "Tan Ding" into mu. At the beginning, he did not show the mountains and waters. When he ascended the throne, he was shocked and opened up territory.

"Looking up to heaven and earth, praising and commenting has its own spring and Autumn", this sentence is enough to express his whole life.

Soon after Yongzheng ascended the throne, he ordered someone to make a private seal, which was also his favorite party. The seal maker was Deng Shiru, a famous engraver at that time. The four characters on the seal were written by Deng Shiru himself www.novelhall.com , the fastest update of the webnovel!
