The three left the Forbidden City, and Geng Baochang insisted that the two of them go to their homes to sit. The house was very simple. The old man spent his whole life savings collecting porcelain, and finally donated them all to the Forbidden City. He was honest and noble.

"I can't accept the favor of Mr. For nothing. This is a small item, please accept it!"

Geng Baochang handed over a blue and white pen holder. Wen Yiming took it curiously. After reading it, he was surprised and said, "Is this a blank official kiln?"

"I didn't expect that the gentleman has a deep attainment in porcelain!" Geng Baochang explained with a smile: "It's a pity that he donated all his collections to the museum a few years ago, and there was nothing left in his hand to take it out. This was considered a bargain. Although it was not valuable, it also represents a period of history and has commemorative value."

Wen Yiming stood up and refused: "Old Geng, you are so polite, the pen holder is too precious, I dare not..."

"Sir, please don't refuse!" Geng Baochang said seriously: "When people live to our age, what else can't be seen through? If they don't bring them in life or death, they will be destined to meet them, so please accept them."

Seeing Wen Yiming still wanted to refuse, Ling Junsheng interrupted, "The elders donate, you must accept it!"

Wen Yiming could only accept it and thank Mr. Geng for his gift. The so-called blank period, also known as the dark period, generally refers to the orthodox period of Ming Dynasty, Jingtai and Tianshun, which is the period from 1436 to 1464. Because no porcelain with the official kiln year in the three dynasties was found to exist in the world, the porcelain seen was produced by private kilns, so it is called the official kiln blank period.

In the third year of Zhengtong, private kilns were prohibited from firing blue and white porcelain with the same style as official kilns; in the twelfth year of Zhengtong, there was a ban on private making of yellow, purple, red, green, blue, blue, white ground and other porcelains.

In the fifth year of Jingtai, the records of one-third of the annual porcelain made in Raozhou were reduced. In the first year of Tianshun, a central official was sent to Jingdezhen to supervise the burning of porcelain; in the third year of Tianshun, there was an order to reduce the original porcelain of more than 133,000 pieces of porcelain that were originally planned to be burned by 80,000.

In fact, there were official kilns produced in the three dynasties of the Ming Dynasty. The main reason was that there were frequent conflicts within the royal family due to the throne. Therefore, the porcelain produced by the official kiln in Jingdezhen was inconvenient to write the year mark at this time. Therefore, the porcelain from these three dynasties is often classified as Xuande or Chenghua in various museums or private collections.

Until a batch of orthodox official kiln porcelains of the Ming Dynasty discovered by the Jingdezhen Ceramics Research Institute, it can be seen that they have different styles from Xuande and Chenghua. There is not much information about the blank period porcelain after all. The main feature is that the cloud pattern is quite heavy, and the theme pattern is often covered by cloud pattern, and the blue and white pattern is also relatively dark.

The record was sold more than ten years ago. The Ming Dynasty's orthodox blue and white blue and white flowers tangled with treasure-like treasure-like flowers, with a large jar of 1.058 million yuan. The Ming Dynasty's orthodox blue and white flowers tangled with lotus cave stone peony lotus petal pattern double beast ears and mouths were sold at 2.3 million yuan.

Geng Baochang sighed: "This is a piece of blank porcelain from the Ming Dynasty with an chronological period during my trip last year. The east and the east should be Zhengtong Eight Years. The overall shape is a five-peak-like peak connected to the mountain cluster, hollow, and there is a round hole on one side of the mountain and the back of the pen holder. It can be filled with water as a water bowl. The Zhengtong Eight Years style is written behind the main peak of the pen holder. The pen holder is glazed thickly and yellowed in white."

After running for a day today, the two old men were already tired and said goodbye to leave Geng’s hometown. They returned to their residence. Wen Yiming was about to rest when he suddenly received another call from Ling Tiancheng to ask him to meet him.

"This is Huang Xuanlong, the master of Jiansong Pavilion, and the first person to collect the Qing Dynasty Library!"

Wen Yiming looked at the old man in front of him who was not astonishingly handsome. He was in his early fifties and kind-hearted eyes. He was the famous Master Jian Song Pavilion?

Ling Tiancheng pulled Wen Yiming and introduced: "This is Mr. Wen, Master Xiangdao, and the treasure that Brother Xuanlong likes is his collection."

Huang Xuanlong took the initiative to extend his hand and greeted enthusiastically: "It's true that heroes have been born in ancient times. Mr. Wen is actually a master of incense? I admire Huang!"

Wen Yiming said a few polite words, and everyone sat down again. Huang Xuanlong happened to see the pen holder. When he asked, it was given by Geng Baochang, he was shocked and had a higher evaluation of Wen Yiming.

"It's indeed a blank official kiln pen holder. Only Mr. Geng is willing to give such a treasure to others. I'm envious!"

Ling Tiancheng looked at Huang Xuanlong's obsessive expression and was secretly amused. Today the other party came to find him directly. I don't know where he heard that Tiancheng had the eight-piece set of Qianlong's imperial study and Ji Xiaolan's ninety-nine square inkstone. This was definitely a fatal attraction for Huang Xuanlong, who pursued the four treasures of the study throughout his life.

Today, Wen Yiming happened to get another pen holder, which was given by Geng Baochang, the master of porcelain, which was incredible to Huang Xuanlong.

Jiansongge is actually a plaque written by Yi Bingshou, a famous calligrapher in the late Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. It made its reputation completely thanks to a special auction of study in Jiade in the 2006 spring auction, which was also the first time that a special auction of study in the field was held in China.

The owner of Jiansongge is Huang Xuanlong, a collector from Baodao. He has been obsessed with collecting stationery supplies for more than 30 years and has spent hundreds of millions of dollars. As a joke, since he started collecting, he no longer has deposits at home. He buys good things back as soon as he has cash. If he wants to take stock of his assets, he has to put out his pen holders and inkstones.

What most collectors talk about is a red sandalwood pen holder. The Ming Dynasty relief fish, dragon, sea beast, red sandalwood pen holder is dark in color. The high relief carvings depict dragons, lions, horses, tigers, elephants, rhinestones, fish, and snails entering and leaving the surging waves, lifelike and domineering.

This pen holder was originally the number one player in the capital. Mr. Wang Shixiang is a national first-class cultural relic. In his early years, Huang Xuanlong visited Wang Shixiang's house and caught a look at the pen holder. It was not until the old man passed away in 2003 that Jiade held a special event for the long-lasting things in Lisongju - Wang Shixiang. Huang Xuanlong bought the pen holder he had always dreamed of at least 2.09 million yuan, and finally got his long-cherished wish.

In the 2012 Jiade Spring Auction, Jiansongge Study Treasure Special Show, all 35 items were sold at high prices, with a total amount of 120 million yuan. In particular, the fish, dragon, sea beast, red sandalwood pen holder made in the Ming Zhou Dynasty, after thirty minutes of fierce bidding, it was finally sold at 55.2 million yuan, setting a new auction record for wooden pen holder.

Collectors couldn't help but sigh that a rosewood pen holder actually sold three big rosewood beds at a sky-high price!

Ling Tiancheng looked at Huang Xuanlong and smiled and said, "I remember that a purple clay teapot that was only eight centimeters high was sold at a sky-high price of 12.32 million yuan, which is the first purple clay teapot in China sold at a price of tens of millions. How much did you pay at that time? 350,000?"

"Not less than 300,000!" Huang Xuanlong said with a smile: "At that time, I had just arrived in Shanghai, and was just a 24-year-old young man. He loved purple clay and bamboo carvings. Shanghai was very close to Yixing and Jiading, which produced bamboo carvings. It was also an important collection base in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. I was introduced by enthusiastic friends to meet Ms. Gong Anying, the daughter of Gong Xinzhao, the collector of the late Qing Dynasty."

"I took the pastry to see Mrs. Gong for afternoon tea with no problem. Maybe we are destined to be. The old man is also very friendly to me. Not only is he willing to teach collection knowledge, he also regards me as a family member."

Speaking of this, Huang Xuanlong said emotionally: "This friendship with the Gong family has continued to this day has brought me great benefits. I also have the opportunity to collect several old collections of Gong, including the statue of Tianhuangwu Bodhidharma and the statue of Baishoushan Huike Broken Arm, which the Gong family attaches great importance to. These two small stone sculptures less than ten centimeters high are all from Yang Yuxuan, a famous stone sculpture craftsman in the Kangxi Construction Office. Later, the former sold 15.68 million yuan, while the latter sold 10.64 million yuan."
