There are sixty-five or sixty-eight pieces of Ru kilns in existence. These data are actually not important.
The most important thing is where did this data come from? Can it be regarded as a golden rule?
In fact, this data was obtained in 1987, when the Ru kiln site was just discovered, and the Maritime Museum collected statistics on Ru Guan kiln porcelain published in publications from various countries around the world.
It should be said that they acted very objectively at the time, but many people misunderstood it.
I thought there were only so many Ruguan kiln porcelains from the Song Dynasty to this day.
The real situation is that those are statistics from 1987. Has no Ru kiln porcelain ever been unearthed since then?
It was 1987, which is more than thirty years ago!
In fact, according to the expert who was in charge of the excavation of the Ruguan kiln site in Qingliang Temple at that time, the porcelain he identified was definitely from the Ruguan kiln, and there should be more than a hundred pieces of folk porcelain alone.
Because infrastructure construction has continued in recent years,
Farmers in areas near the kiln site also dug secretly.
Digging outside is risky, so just dig in your own yard. There will always be some treasures from the Ruguan kiln of the Song Dynasty scattered among the people.
Also, the largest batch of discoveries in Qingliang Temple was the discovery of more than 20 pieces in a remote corner. Some people speculated that the kiln workers secretly hid them, but who would have thought that he would go to jail as soon as he hid them?
There will be no chance to dig it out again in a thousand years.
While thinking about it, I also discussed various types of porcelain with Zhang Gu, and even told some anecdotes. Chen Wenzhe's little life was pretty good.
Having stayed in South Vietnam for a long time recently, Chen Wenzhe has also come to understand the reality of this country.
This country is very ambitious. At least as a member of the Chinese cultural circle, he has a strong learning ability.
but,
The birth defects are too great, but there are many visible advantages.
In the end, they couldn't keep it at all.
For example, the economic recovery that has been hyped recently in China, the strong ability to earn foreign exchange through exports, etc., and even the real estate here, some people are hyping it up, hoping to attract Chinese people to invest.
But Chen Wenzhe saw a crisis in this. A small country with too many congenital defects would find it difficult to grow.
For example, he earns more by exporting, but spends more in foreign exchange by importing.
Although it cannot be said that one cannot make ends meet, there is not much foreign exchange that can really be kept in the country, or to use a more professional term, it is imported into the country.
There are also factories, especially if you want to build a world-class processing factory. Many major international factories are now setting up factories in South Vietnam, but this is a burning fire!
They do not have a complete industrial chain,
Although it allows the people to make some money,
But it’s also hard money.
Just like Chen Wenzhe’s ceramics factory,
Although he makes money by selling his works, many of the raw materials for making ceramics are imported from China.
In this way, most of the money was given to the domestic Yi Niantang Ceramics Factory. It was a matter of course and the profits were transferred in a legal and legal way.
In this way, there is not much profit left at all in South Vietnam.
In the end, how much profit can this ceramic factory in Nanyue make?
If the profit is less, how much tax can be paid?
And this was done by an unprofessional person like Chen Wenzhe, operating privately and not intentionally avoiding taxes at all.
Those big manufacturers in the country are definitely better at playing games than he is.
Therefore, despite the fact that there are many development zones here and various factories are springing up like mushrooms after a spring rain, they seem to be thriving, but there are not many real benefits that can be brought to the local area.
Instead, they opened up the financial and property markets, allowing them to be harvested by international financiers again and again.
In particular, the property market, stock market, and foreign exchange market have suffered a wave of losses due to the closure of factories.
Now there seems to be signs of it happening again, and why does Chen Wenzhe know?
Because as a rich man, some Chinese people came to trick him and asked him to invest in the South Vietnam real estate market. This meant that he was made to be a taker!
Chen Wenzhe is such a smart person. Can he like the money in the property market?
What's more, if he really wants to invest a large amount of money, he will directly operate the market, and he can let others harvest it?
If I have that time, I might as well make a few more pieces of porcelain.
Originally I just wanted to make a few exquisite pieces based on the Ruguan kiln porcelain on the stamps.
But slowly, Chen Wenzhe could think of more and more Ru kiln classics.
Therefore, under Zhang Gu's puzzled and shocked gaze, he made some large-scale porcelain.
There are three classics among them, a 30cm high lotus petal incense burner, a 38cm high Ruguan kiln Guanyin vase, and the last one is a 71cm high flower mouth vase.
These are the three largest Ruguan kiln utensils that Chen Wenzhe knows, two bottles and an incense burner.
Although these devices are relatively large, they are very simple to make.
I have qualified materials in hand. I only need to draw, shape, and at most engrave. These processes are really simple to do, so the speed is very fast. The slowest thing is the drying after glazing.
It is worth mentioning that Chen Wenzhe specially adjusted the ratio of porcelain stone and glaze for these three pieces of porcelain, so that after entering the kiln, as long as the temperature and angle are adjusted, three pieces of completely different colors can be fired.
One is sky blue, one is pinkish blue, and the last one is sky blue.
Of course, there is no fever now, and Chen Wenzhe doesn't know whether he can succeed.
So, he thought about it and couldn't help but make a few more.
If the first firing was unsuccessful, he would adjust the temperature of the kiln, place the porcelain at an angle, and fire a few more times.
Of course, the glaze inside also needs to be mixed with agate.
Chen Wenzhe now knows very well that whether agate is mixed or not represents the difference between private kilns and official kilns.
Many Ru kiln porcelains circulated among the people are Ru porcelain from private kilns.
Therefore, not all Ru kiln porcelain is worth astronomical prices, and is worth 300 million.
There are still differences between official kilns and private kilns.
Also, among the four major kiln mouths that have been excavated, Linruyan and Dian kilns are the folk kilns of Ru porcelain.
A large number of fragments from the folk kiln ruins discovered by archeology can be easily compared with those of the Ruguan kiln ruins.
The biggest difference between official kiln Ru porcelain and folk kiln Ru porcelain is the glaze color.
The glaze of Ru porcelain from official kilns contains agate, but not from Ru porcelain from private kilns.
It is important to mention here that adding agate is not for fork installation, but can really affect the glaze color.
Not to mention the impact on sky blue and azure glaze color, let’s talk about vitrification and jade. These are effects that cannot be achieved without agate in the glaze.
Ru porcelain with agate added, in addition to the main colors of azure, sky blue, pink and green, has another magical performance.
For example, there will be a faint blush on the surface. If you observe it under a magnifying glass, you can see four different wonders.
One, like the morning sun emerging from the sea, the red dots are like the sun that has just emerged from the bottom of the sea;
Second, it is like a hanging rainbow, with the red color showing arc-shaped lines;
Third, it is like the spring land, other places are darker, and only one place is brighter;
Fourth, it’s like the sunset. When the sun sets, I feel groggy, and suddenly I see some blush.
