Chen Wenzhe was at the forefront. After all, the two brothers had little experience.
"Don't fight with me, I'll be careful." Chen Wenzhe said, grabbing hold of Chen Qinglin who was about to pass him quickly.
"There are steps ahead, and there should be another trap above the steps!"
"Sure enough, it's really a trap. This time, remove the steps above and see what's going on inside the trap."
"It's really wood thorns, and it's been carbonized. Even if it's not protected by oil and wax, it can still exist for a long time."
"It's a pity that it's not a metal product, so it doesn't have much value!"
Several people were a little disappointed, but now that they have entered the tomb, they will definitely find something.
"Huh? There's an oil lamp on the wall in front of you, right on the wall."
"There are also murals on the walls!"
"Don't study the murals, they must be meant to scare people or curse, and you will definitely feel disgusted after reading them!" Chen Wenzhe reminded.
"Would you like to light the oil lamp?"
"No, not to mention whether the lamp oil is poisonous or not, even the oxygen in the tomb passage cannot sustain combustion. If the oxygen is used up, we will all be finished."
Chen Wenzhe approached the tomb wall and touched it. The tomb wall must have been treated.
Because he could feel it, it was specially made of bricks and carved.
If he is really a tomb robber, just these brick carvings can make him a fortune.
There are also tools for holding lamp oil. They are not oil lamps, but large celadon bowls.
Tang Dynasty celadon, although it is a large bowl without flowers, is still very valuable.
“Are these big bowls worth anything?”
"It's not very valuable. There are too many. It looks like it was fired in a private kiln, but the firing is quite exquisite. For such a large curtain, no matter who the owner of the tomb is, he must be very powerful. Such a rich person
It’s no problem for people to make a batch of fine celadon.”
Chen Wenzhe was very happy after it was confirmed that it was celadon from the Tang Dynasty.
Although there is water downstream here, it is ventilated and the wind flows from north to south, which ensures that the air inside the tomb passage is very dry.
The dry air makes it easier to preserve many things. Therefore, although this place is in an ancient tomb, the Tang Dynasty celadon that is exposed to the air and placed in the stone wall brick carvings is very much like a hand-me-down.
They have never been used once and are definitely still as new as new.
This batch of porcelain ages naturally and is easy to sell, but he cannot do this.
Having sold so many Tang Dynasty antiquities, one person would know that a large tomb must have been excavated.
By then, will you still be able to find this place? It’s easy to suspect Chen Wenzhe!
The most famous products of the Tang Dynasty were celadon and white porcelain. The large-scale appearance of these porcelains must be related to the ancient tombs of the Tang Dynasty.
Recently, only the Tang Dynasty tomb discovered by Chen Wenzhe is the most famous. So, wouldn't he be listed as the first suspect?
It cannot be sold on a large scale, but it is perfectly fine to collect some.
Therefore, just this batch of Tang Dynasty celadon made their trip worthwhile.
Of course, if you are more ruthless, you can tear down a section of the tomb wall and get some brick sculptures, and you can sell it for a lot of money.
However, this is Chen Wenzhe's hometown after all, and he is not so crazy.
On the contrary, these large celadon bowls from the Tang Dynasty had been exposed to the air for more than a thousand years and were more like heirlooms. He could have taken a few less and sold them to improve his family's life.
The porcelain of the Tang Dynasty can be regarded as high ancient porcelain, and among the high ancient porcelains, the quantity of celadon is not large.
In addition to Tang Dynasty celadon, there are also famous Longquan celadon and Song Yingqing porcelain, but these are very expensive.
It can be said that ancient celadon in China is not very common anymore, because the development of Chinese porcelain was mainly based on blue and white, pastel and enamel in the Qing Dynasty.
If it is less, it will naturally have collection value.
In addition, celadon can be said to be the representative of porcelain in the Tang and Song Dynasties. Its beauty, texture, and gloss are indeed superior to white porcelain.
"Wen Zhe, come here and take a look. The bowl here doesn't seem to be cyan, but white."
Chen Wenzhe was speechless. Not all the oil lamps here were made of celadon. What a pity!
"No, why do you need so much celadon? White porcelain is also very good!"
Soon, Chen Wenzhe realized that he didn't want to take away all the things here. It would be better to have so many varieties.
Besides, white porcelain is not bad either. The white porcelain of the Tang Dynasty was as white as jade and had a color better than snow. It was also a good thing. The most important thing was that he couldn’t despise white things!
I carefully walked to the other side of the tomb passage, and sure enough, all the white porcelain placed here was there.
Taking one from Chen Qingchuan, he had already wiped off all the dust on the outer layer.
Looking at the crystal white porcelain bowl, Chen Wenzhe was a little surprised.
He had never discovered that white porcelain bowls could be made so beautifully.
This kind of porcelain is not only smooth and jade-like, but also uses cool tones, which is elegant but not exaggerated.
This is a typical white porcelain of the Tang Dynasty, because in a certain sense, this kind of porcelain can also reflect the essence of the humanistic spirit of Confucianism and Taoism at that time, which was to talk without doing anything, not to compete with the world, and to guard against arrogance and impetuosity.
Therefore, the utensils of the Tang Dynasty were very grand, that is to say, the shape of the utensils also advocated grandeur and harmony.
I carefully turned it over and looked at the bottom of the bowl. Sure enough, it was a bit rough and lacked any style. These are the characteristics of Tang Dynasty porcelain. These porcelains should be high-quality products from the Tang Dynasty.
Recently, he upgraded the basic old-fashioned techniques, which gave Chen Wenzhe a lot of knowledge.
He still can't make artifacts from before the Ming Dynasty. It's not that he can't make them, but that he can't make many of the typical features of artifacts from that era.
Therefore, he could only make the Qing Dynasty. Many artifacts from the Ming Dynasty have undergone many changes due to their long history, making them difficult to imitate.
However, although he cannot make it look old, there is still no problem in appreciating it.
He can be sure that these porcelains, whether celadon or white porcelain, are of high quality.
If we really count it like this and say it is an official kiln, will anyone still refute it?
He had preconceived ideas. After seeing so much celadon, he thought it was not valuable.
If he just took out one piece, wouldn't it be valuable?
You should know that porcelain in the Tang Dynasty did not have the habit of leaving money.
Signing porcelain is one of the tasks of porcelain collection.
Although most porcelain on the market has a year date, there is one kind of porcelain that can be said to be an exception, and that is Tang porcelain.
Tang Dynasty porcelain is a relatively special existence among ancient porcelain.
Generally speaking, porcelain from the Tang Dynasty does not have a year mark, which is the current consensus.
However, there are also some misunderstandings in this understanding.
For example, the mark with the word Ying has been confirmed to be the year mark of Tang Dynasty porcelain, and it is also an important evidence to prove that Tang porcelain has a year mark.
However, too few of that kind of porcelain have been discovered, and there are very few records in the literature, so many people still don't admit it.
