This rare southern pearl also proves to some extent that the treasures brought back by Cheng Yu are indeed very likely to be gifts from the royal family of the Ming Dynasty. You know, the southern pearl is in
In the Ming Dynasty, it was an absolute tribute. Nanzhu with excellent appearance like this were basically handed over to the court. Nanzhu with this kind of appearance were kept privately. In the Ming Dynasty when the eunuchs were in power, it was difficult to preserve them.
kill
The sin of the head.
Of course, this does not mean that there will be no southern pearls of this quality among the people, but even if there are, they are definitely a reward from the royal family, and they can never be purchased from the fishermen who fish for pearls.
Cheng Yu took out pieces of jewelry and jade, and Xue Changyun became more and more excited. He believed that Cheng Yu had really found the treasures that Zhu Youtang Yu had given to his mother's tribe. Moreover, now that Cheng Yu had taken out
,answer
They should be relatively ordinary things. After all, Cheng Yu said those treasures were worth more than five billion, and although these are precious now, they are probably only items worth a few million.
At this time, Xue Changyun also became extra patient. He no longer urged Cheng Yu, but handed over the treasures one by one from Cheng Yu.
There were as many as thirty-four antique jades of various kinds, all of which were amazing. For a moment, Xue Changyun was blinded by the jewels and jewels in the warehouse.
But unfortunately, these are probably only part of the story, and the real treasures are yet to come.
It wasn't until Cheng Yu took out everything in his backpack that Xue Changyun finally focused on the five big boxes. "The value of these together is probably over 100 million. With these as a base, your five million
U.S. dollars are really a wise investment." Xue Changyun looked at the last square of ancient inkstones in his hand, only thinking about the five big boxes.
The expectation of something inside.
When Cheng Yu saw this, he stopped delaying and threw a bunch of keys to Xue Changyun, indicating that he could open the lock.
Xue Changyun caught the key and walked towards one of the boxes, holding his breath and concentrating. When he tried the third key, he finally opened the first box. Opening the lid of the box, Xue Changyun saw boxes of different sizes and stuffing.
Full of foam blocks, he almost immediately thought that these boxes were filled with porcelain. Things that needed to be filled tightly must be fragile, and in ancient times, the main direction of fragile items was porcelain.
.Although the ancient royal family may also regard glass products as treasures, they cannot be compared with porcelain. Especially since Cheng Yu stated in advance
, these things are worth billions. No matter how confused Cheng Yu is, he can't possibly say that glass products are so expensive.
Taking out a carton from the box, Xue Changyun laid it flat on the ground, and then carefully opened the carton packaging.
The carton was also filled with a large number of smaller foam blocks, but from between those foam blocks, Xue Changyun could already see the alluring cyan color. Xue Changyun was slightly shocked, and his family also collected a lot of things.
Of course, it is impossible not to have heard about and understand the azure wood kiln, but that understanding is all obtained from historical data. Of course, the most impressive thing is the unique color of the wood kiln.
Some are sky blue.
But at this moment, when Xue Changyun saw this green color, he had an idea in his heart. He was willing to call it crimson blue, because he felt that it was even clearer and brighter than the blue sky he saw now. It really gave him the feeling of being washed away by the blue sky.
. He turned his face and glanced at Cheng Yu, only to see a playful smile on Cheng Yu's face. Xue Changyun's fingers were trembling slightly. From Cheng Yu's half-smiling expression, Xue Changyun seemed to have confirmed that this was true.
Maybe
It is the legendary firewood kiln. There is a saying in the literary and art circles that no matter how rich you are, a piece of Ru porcelain is not as good as a piece of Ru porcelain. In fact, this is not only talking about the porcelain of Ru Kiln, but also the supreme respect of Ru Guan Dingjun, one of the five famous kilns in the Song Dynasty.
Certainly, of course, especially the Ru kiln, which has always been the first of the five kilns in the Song Dynasty. It is not really possible for anyone to exchange their wealth for a piece of Ru porcelain, especially since there are actually not a few Ru porcelain handed down, let alone after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
, under the instructions of Premier Zhou, we must restore and develop our motherland.
Cultural heritage, after countless experiments, the Ru kiln porcelain fired after the 1980s can basically reach the level of the Ming Dynasty.
But no matter what, there are many treasures handed down from the five famous kilns. No matter how precious they are, they still have a price.
As for Chai Kiln, which does not have any handed down works at all, in the world of art and antique collection, it is probably the only one that can truly be worthy of a huge fortune. After all, this is something that no one has ever seen. About
There are many different opinions on the legend of the firewood kiln. Various records are ultimately written and oral. In ancient times, there were no photographic equipment and no image data could be left. This made the firewood kiln not only valuable in itself, but also
A layer of mystery. I don’t know how many collectors or appraisal experts have imagined that once a firewood kiln product really appears one day, we don’t know what kind of sensation it will be. As for the blue lily that was once exhibited in Japan
vase
, was once suspected to be a firewood kiln, but at least no one has announced it as a firewood kiln so far, so it is probably just a similarity. If it really is a firewood kiln, how could the Japanese not jump up and down to publicize it?
But now, Xue Changyun felt that he might have really seen real Chai Kiln porcelain. Just now, his fingertips were just trembling slightly, but now, he felt that his whole body was trembling.
After finally calming down and forcing himself to calm down, Xue Changyun finally took out the vase from the box that he thought had a high probability of being from a firewood kiln.
Holding it in his hand, Xue Changyun can already feel the delicacy and smoothness of the glaze of porcelain coming from the palm of his hand. Even if it is thousands of years apart, the warmth and moist feeling unique to porcelain will not change. In the warehouse
Under the headlight, Xue Changyun carefully studied the vase in his hand. He saw that the color was so bright that it could not be described as green as a wash. The porcelain body was extremely thin. If he lightly touched it with his fingernail, it would vibrate and make noise.
The resonant sound made Xue Changyun feel a kind of tranquility that seemed to be able to cleanse the soul.
Lifting the vase slightly higher, Xue Changyun looked more carefully at the fine lines on the glaze, which were more delicate than those on Ru porcelain, and the colors were so gorgeous that they seemed to far exceed the gradient of Jun porcelain.
Looking at the bottom of the vase, the color is indeed like loess, and traces of wide-footed nails can be clearly seen, which corresponds to the characteristics of wood kilns with multiple groups of coarse loess mentioned in historical materials.
Xue Changyun took a long breath, hugged the vase tightly, turned his face and asked Cheng Yu: "Is it really a wood kiln?" Cheng Yu smiled and shrugged, and said: "I can't say this, but I think it should be
Yes, after all, it was something given by Emperor Zhu Youtang of the Ming Dynasty himself. He had always felt guilty about his mother, and the tribesmen who were looking for his mother also searched for many people.
Year, if there is any emperor who is willing to give away the few remaining firewood kilns, I am afraid he is the only one."
Xue Changyun nodded and raised the vase in his hand high again. He saw the word "Chai" in the circle at the bottom of the vase.
Regardless of whether it is a real wood kiln or not, even if it is a copy of the Ming Dynasty imperial kiln, this vase has definitely reached a very high level of craftsmanship, even the pinnacle level of porcelain firing skills. Cheng Yu does not understand this.
, but Xue Changyun knows a lot. Xue Changyun, who has seen all the porcelain from the five famous kilns of Geru, Guandingjun, and all kinds of porcelain from the imperial kilns of the Ming Dynasty, can feel the hand more than Cheng Yu
The vase here has a superb level of craftsmanship. At least, this kind of technology has really reached its pinnacle.
Cheng Yu didn't know that Chai Kiln actually originated from Jun porcelain and had already existed in the Tang Dynasty. However, it was not that precious at that time. By the time of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, Chai Rong, Shizong of the Later Zhou Dynasty,
, a group of official kilns specifically used for firing imperial Jun porcelain was established in Xinmi Platform, Zhengzhou, and then the Chai Kiln came into being. This was in accordance with Chai Rong's request - Yuguo
Tian Qingyun lost her virginity, and the imperial porcelain specially fired with this color for the future was named Jun Porcelain Chai Kiln after that. Chai Rong requested that all qualified porcelain that was successfully fired can only be sold in public.
It should not be used among the people. In addition, Chai Rong died after only six years on the throne, and his son succeeded to the throne less than a year ago. Because he was only seven years old, the political situation was unstable.
Zhao Kuangyin found an opportunity to launch the Chenqiao Mutiny, and then established the Song Dynasty. Therefore, the firing time of the firewood kiln was really limited, and the finished products were very few. Moreover, the firewood kiln was so precious, and there was also a part of Zhao Kuangyin.
Credit. After he became emperor, he inspected the inner treasury and found a large amount of extremely precious porcelain. He immediately lamented that it was too extravagant, so he destroyed a lot of porcelain. Of course there was
This includes not only Chai kiln porcelain, but also other valuable porcelain. But this also makes the number of Chai kiln porcelains that are already few in existence even smaller.
The craftsmen who originally fired porcelain in the official kiln in Chai Rong returned to the private sector, and their skills were still there. They slowly promoted Jun porcelain, making Jun kiln one of the five famous kilns in the Song Dynasty.
Therefore, strictly speaking, Chai kiln is just a branch of Jun porcelain, and its predecessors and successors are also Jun porcelain.
Going forward is also what Cheng Yu learned about. During the Republic of China, it was said that firewood kiln objects appeared, but after that, they were never heard of again.
But now, Xue Changyun is holding one in his hand. How can he not be filled with emotion?
No wonder Cheng Yu said that the guarantee is five billion. This is the one in his hand. If he takes out one hundred million, it will be it, and if he takes out five hundred billion, it will be it. The key is not how much the firewood kiln is worth, but who can be responsible for proving that this is
Firewood kiln.
If there are ten or eight of these, they can support each other, and the five billion mentioned by Cheng Yu does not seem to be impossible.
"Lao Cheng, how many pieces are there in this... firewood kiln?" Xue Changyun suddenly asked.
Cheng Yu pursed his lips and said casually: "Well, those are all."
Xue Changyun almost lost his grip and smashed the vase on the ground. What do you mean they are all there? Are you really saying that these five boxes are all firewood kilns? Xue Changyun almost screamed, this is inevitable.
Isn't it too shocking? You know, just two seconds ago, Xue Changyun was still thinking "if there were ten or eight pieces", because he had actually guessed that the box should be full of porcelain, but he felt that maybe there were
There are other five famous kilns from the Song Dynasty, as well as blue and white porcelain from the Yuan Dynasty, and porcelain from the Ming Dynasty.
This was the dynasty when ancient Chinese porcelain firing skills reached their peak. But who would have thought that Cheng Yu told him that all five boxes contained wood kilns.
Xue Changyun quickly recalled the total number of items Cheng Yu took out of the bag just now, thirty-four items. Doesn't this mean that these five large boxes contain thirty pieces of porcelain from the Chai Kiln?
Damn it! - Xue Changyun couldn't bear it any longer and cursed out loud. This is going to turn the world upside down! Thirty firewood kilns, are you crazy? In more than 70 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, no one has ever produced one.
The Chai Kiln is convincing, but now, as soon as it appears, there are thirty pieces. Why are you making me laugh? Chai Kiln
Is it suddenly so worthless? This is not Chinese cabbage. You can easily buy three to five hundred kilograms at the vegetable market. Cheng Yu curled his lips and said disdainfully: "How about I say five billion as a base?"
