Duan Inkstone is one of the four famous inkstones. Among the four famous inkstones, Duan Inkstone is the most famous.
Duan Inkstone is world-famous for its solid, smooth, delicate and delicate stone. Use Duan Inkstone to grind ink without stagnation, and the ink can be produced quickly. The ink produced by Duan Inkstone is fine and smooth, writing can be smooth without any damage, and the color of the handwriting remains unchanged for a long time.
For a good Duan inkstone, no matter it is hot summer or severe winter, if you press the center of the inkstone with your hand, the center of the inkstone will be blue and dark green, and the water will not dry out for a long time. The ancients have a saying of "breathing ink to grind the ink".
Han Kongque looked at Liu Mingyu's Duan Inkstone. It was indeed a good thing. However, because there was no money left and no other marks, it was just a Duan Inkstone with no reputation. However, even if there was no story background to set off this Duan Inkstone, this Duan Inkstone was nothing.
No doubt baby.
Han Kongque was so enthused by this that he wanted to keep it for himself. He collected a lot of things, but most of them were gold, silver, and jade products. He really didn't have such good things anymore.
"Are you taking it out to sell or exchange it for something?" Han Peacock asked.
"Of course I'm changing things. My grandfather still has a famous inkstone in his hand, so it's a bit redundant to just have this Duan Inkstone. I brought it out in a few days, so naturally I wanted to exchange it for something I didn't have in hand." Liu Mingyu said.
Han Kongque said: "What do you want to change?"
"If you exchange the painting of Tang Bohu in your hand, I will reluctantly exchange it for you." Liu Mingyu said.
Han Kongque hurriedly said: "No, you should keep it. I can't afford to change it, so you don't have to force it."
"I can add something." Liu Mingyu said immediately when she saw Han Kongque's refusal.
"I can't afford to replace your Duan Inkstone. You'd better exchange it with someone else! I think other people will definitely be willing to exchange it with you." Han Kongque refused without hesitation.
Now he no longer needs to rely on collecting to make money, so collecting has become his hobby, Tang Bohu's paintings. But it is rare. Unless he is kicked in the head by a donkey, otherwise, he will definitely do such a heartless thing.
Won't do it.
"Okay. Brother Liu, I told you a long time ago that Brother Han will never change with you. You just don't believe it. You have to be embarrassed once before you can stop. Brother Han. What did you bring? What did you bring?
Didn't you see anything with you?" Long Lin said at this time.
"What did you bring? As long as what you brought is good enough, then what I brought will definitely satisfy you." Han Kongque said.
"I don't have anything good. The things I brought are over there!" Long Lin pointed at a long table on one side.
Han Kongque looked over and saw that the dragon scales displayed were the set of enamel-colored porcelain made by Hong Xian that he had taken from him.
Next to him is Zhu Feiyu's set of pastels "Hong Xian Imperial System".
Although these two sets of Hongxian porcelain are not very old, they are definitely eye-catching. Especially, they are salvaged porcelain, which doubles their value.
Hongxian porcelain has always been controversial. This is mainly about the "Hongxian year system" and whether the "Hongxian imperial system" is Yuan Shikai's founding porcelain. If so, the value of these two types of porcelain will increase.
Quite a few.
Of course, even if there is no increase, the price of these two types of porcelain is still higher than that of the Jurentang model. Therefore, Jiang Lin, who is shy in public, will naturally not use the Hongxian set of the Jurentang model.
It would be embarrassing to take out the porcelain.
The Palace Museum has a Ming Dynasty blue and white pressed hand cup with the words "Yongle Year Made" on the inner bottom. This is the first time that the emperor's year mark appears on Chinese official kiln porcelain.
From then on, when a new emperor ascends the throne, he will put his reign name on his newly fired porcelain.
This has also become one of the most distinctive features of official kiln porcelain.
Since Yuan Shikai proclaimed himself emperor and fired imperial porcelain for himself, it should naturally belong to the "Hong Xian Nian" model.
To this day, the biggest controversy about Hongxian porcelain is still the issue of its deposit.
Someone once said: "Thousands of years of ancient Chinese ceramic history ended with the specious farce of Hongxian porcelain. The identification of ancient Chinese ceramics finally ended with the difference between the authenticity of Hongxian porcelain, which is sad and lamentable."
Of course. So what if Hong Xian porcelain is fake?
Hongxian porcelain is so delicate and exquisite that it is delicate and fragile and difficult to preserve for a long time.
The imperial title "Hong Xian" is fleeting, and Hong Xian porcelain is extremely rare, and it also carries the legendary color given to it by Yuan Shikai.
Such a beautiful, fragile, rare and mysterious thing not only has artistic appreciation value, but also satisfies people's curiosity, so it is naturally arousing people's admiration.
As a result, some antique dealers took advantage of this to make a profit and created a large number of fakes.
Yuan Shikai stole the country and was despised by the world. However, his reign was not "stinky".
Fake Hongxian porcelain signed with "Hongxian Year System" and "Hongxian Imperial System" became very popular.
From famous public officials and ministers to wealthy businessmen, from middle-class families to ordinary people, they all flock to it like ducks. It is especially widely spread in the capital, Tianjin and Tianjin.
There are everything from thousands of large bottles over one meter high to snuff bottles of three or four inches.
People regard these Hongxian porcelain as family treasures and give them as gifts. Countless confusing stories have been told, making it difficult for future generations to distinguish the authenticity.
Both genuine and counterfeit Hongxian porcelain were made in the same era. Some of the fine imitations are as exquisite as the original ones, and many of them were passed down by former warlords and wealthy families. Many of them were exported, and many of them were exported.
Truth and illusion often make future generations doubtful.
China has a strong ability to trace its roots. In the porcelain section of the Republic of China, in addition to the two authentic Hongxian porcelains of Longlin and Zhu Feiyu, there are also many fine imitations and ancient imitations of Hongxian porcelain.
Such as a six-pastel flower pot with grass and insect patterns. This pot is also relatively famous. Both its enamel and painting are extremely sophisticated.
However, among the existing Hongxian porcelains, it is relatively rare to have the four-character inscription "Hongxian Imperial System" signed in regular script on blue material with a double frame. Moreover, judging from the glaze color, the glaze color of this flowerpot is ivory white, with a lustrous feel.
Unlike other fine imitations of Hongxian porcelain during the Republic of China, the glaze is snow-white, even to the point where the white is bluish-green.
Perhaps based on these two points, people will suspect that it is a modern imitation.
This flowerpot was valued at only 250 German marks (approximately RMB 1,050) at the auction in Nagau, Germany on June 6, 2005, but the final transaction price was as high as RMB 45,540.
This shows that whether it is true or false is not unimportant, but it is the quality of the porcelain that ultimately determines the price.
There are also many Hongxian porcelains overseas. However, the "Jurentang" porcelain is far less famous than the "Hongxian Nianzhi" and "Hongxianyuzhi" porcelains.
On June 6, 2005, the German company Naco auctioned a batch of Hongxian porcelain from the Republic of China collected by German and Swiss collectors.
The highest transaction price for those signed "Hongxian Year System" or "Hongxian Imperial System" was approximately RMB 142,000, and the transaction prices for several other exquisite pieces also ranged from RMB 80,000 to RMB 110,000.
A pair of 18-centimeter-high pastel vases signed "Ju Ren Tang" were sold for only 40,000 yuan.
Until now, some data believe that the "Hong Xian Year System" and "Hong Xian Imperial System" porcelains had been fired before Yuan Shikai's fall, and were genuine Hong Xian imperial porcelains.
It was only because Guo Baochang was so alert that he kept secret the disgraceful matter of firing "founding porcelain" for Yuan Shikai's restoration and refused to admit it.
In fact, no matter how finely the imitations are made, they can never be as cost-effective as the genuine ones.
The Palace Museum has a collection of tableware signed "Jurentang", including a total of thirteen types of large, medium and small plates, basins, bowls, plates, wine glasses, cups, spoons, etc. There are only 118 pieces left, and the number is not the same.
Incomplete.
It is said that a total of three sets were fired at that time. Except for one set for Yuan Shikai's own use, the rest were given to friends.
Yuan Shikai fired Hongxian porcelain for use in the enthronement ceremony.
Porcelain has become a symbol of establishing status here - if you are an emperor, you must have your own imperial porcelain.
The real Hongxian porcelain is as short-lived as the Hongxian Dynasty. Whether it is the authentic "Jurentang Zhi" type or the imitation of the "Hongxian Imperial Zhi" or "Hongxian Nian Zhi" type, it has now become indispensable for Hongxian porcelain.
Even if they are missing parts, people will never stop paying attention to them.
Of course, the one who will never forget the batch of Hongxian porcelain in Han Peacock’s hands can be said to be the Palace Museum.
They actually don’t have such a group of highly representative porcelains. Even the Jurentang style porcelains are not complete. How can this make the Palace Museum, which has always been the leader in implementation, feel embarrassed?
Since Han Peacock has only been around for a short time, it is not easy for many people to find him. Therefore, this exchange meeting has naturally become a good opportunity in the eyes of some people.
"These two boys are also stupid people with stupid blessings. They are in the limelight today." Jiang Lin said sourly.
"Haha, what do you mean that stupid people are blessed? Is this called foresight?" Long Lin said with disdain.
Zhu Feiyu also said: "You are still collecting. I don't want to let you collect. Even I know that things with the emperor's reign are valuable."
Jiang Lin was speechless, he really didn't expect this!
Only now did he realize that the Ju Ren Tang style set in his hand was actually far inferior to the two of them. Not only was it not as good as Long Lin’s enamel set, it was even inferior to Zhu Feiyu’s set!
Seeing Jiang Lin's dejected face, Han Kongque had just taken advantage of him, so he changed the subject and said, "What did Brother Jiang bring today? Let brother also open his eyes."
"Haha, I really brought a lot of good things this time. Hehe, every time I see you, you always miss a lot of things. I am finally lucky this time." He mentioned that he brought a lot of good things this time.
Jiang Lin's expression immediately turned gloomy.
Han Peacock saw another group of people gathering together, and through the gaps, he saw blue and white boats floating around.
"That's a tea boat?" Han Kongque was stunned, and then he remembered the fish restaurant where he went to eat. There were quite a few tea boats there, but they were all imitations. Although they had been imitated for a long time, they were
It was an imitation, so Han Peacock couldn't mistake it, but why was Han Peacock a little uneasy?
"Hey, it's the tea boat. Remember the last time you asked me if the fish cooked there was delicious? Let me tell you, there is a century-old fish restaurant near where your wife works. I got these tea boats from their house."
Jiang Lin said proudly.
He was proud, but Han Kongque was frustrated. Han Kongque felt so regretful! Why didn't he ask the store and carefully study the other tea boats they had?
"Ming Dynasty tea ship? How much did you charge?" Han Kongque asked frustratedly.
Jiang Lin was even more proud: "After you asked me that time, I also took a friend to have a meal. Unexpectedly, they became elegant and used a tea boat. I can tell when I see that kind of tea boat.
It was a good thing, so I found an excuse and bought all their tea boats."
Han Kongque was speechless. He encountered two high imitation blue and white tea boats at that time, and Jiang Lin was lucky enough to encounter the real thing.
Seeing Han Kongque's thoughtful expression, Jiang Lin quickly changed the subject: "What exactly did you bring? If you don't take it out, we will search you."
Han Kongque looked at Jiang Lin with a guilty look and wondered what was wrong with him.
Of course, Han Kongque would never have imagined that this kid Jiang Lin was a fool who had the same fate as Han Kongque. When he ate at that fish restaurant, the shopkeeper also used a high-imitation tea boat to entertain him.
But he directly regarded the high imitation as genuine and insisted on buying it.
Fortunately, the owner of the shop knew Jiang Lin's grandfather, so he told him that those were high imitations. Knowing the situation, Jiang Lin finally received a set of eight Ming blue and white replicas from this person.
Tea boat.
This is his real experience. The fish restaurant has been passed down for hundreds of years, so it has some heritage. People never use those Ming Dynasty blue and white tea boats. They only use them when distinguished guests come. Of course, their hand
There are not only tea boats, but also tableware, tea sets and cups.
But their family had more tea boats, so they gave Jiang Lin eight extra ones.
After Han Peacock glanced at Jiang Lin who looked anxious, he had no choice but to take out the bronze cicada ring.
"What is this?" Jiang Lin said.
Long Lin said: "Isn't this a cicada?"
"Bronze cicada? What a good thing!" Liu Mingyu said with shining eyes. Among these people, he was the only one who knew the value of this bronze cicada.
Just when a few people were about to take a closer look at the bronze cicada in Han Peacock's hand, a clear voice said: "What good thing makes you young and old so interested?"
"Jia Qi? Didn't you say you can't come if you have something to do?" Jiang Lin looked up and saw a beautiful woman wearing very cool clothes walking over.
The beauty has a moderate figure, but her skin is very fair, especially because of her suspender skirt, which makes her shoulders look beautiful.
The knee-length suspender skirt not only exposed her porcelain shoulders, but also exposed her flawless calves. She wore a pair of crystal sandals on her feet, which made her white feet even more exquisite and translucent.
This is undoubtedly a beautiful woman, but her personality makes people more approachable: "I didn't want to pay attention to you libertines at first, but if these two old men are coming over, I naturally want to come and accompany them."
"Mr. Xu?" Liu Mingyu saw Xu Xiangshan next to Xu Jiaqi at a glance.
Xu Xiangshan smiled and said: "It's Xiao Liu! You young people are doing great things now."
"Mr. Xu, are you scolding me?" Liu Mingyu said with a sarcastic face.
It turned out that he wanted to join Xu Xiangshan's apprenticeship and learn antique appraisal, but Xu Xiangshan didn't take a fancy to him, saying that he couldn't do two things at once, because Liu Mingyu studied Chinese painting, and his father's Chinese painting was second to none in the country.
"This is Wang Guishan, director of the Guangling Municipal Museum." Xu Xiangshan introduced everyone.
"This is Mr. Han Kongque, right? Your famous name is so popular in Sui Jin's ears!" Xu Xiangshan finally said to Han Kongque.
Han Kongque said a little embarrassedly: "Are you so famous? I'm afraid it's not a good reputation, he's just a tomb robber."
"Haha, you are not considered a tomb robber. Your actions can be regarded as meritorious to the country. After all, you have found cultural relics lost overseas." Xu Xiangshan said.
"Mr. Xu praised me, but I got it back for personal purposes. I feel a little ashamed when you say that." Han Kongque said sincerely.
"So what if it's selfish? Who is not selfish? The most important thing now is that things stay in the country. Whether it is in your hands or in the hands of others, it is always in the hands of our own people, right?"
Xu Xiangshan Road.
Han Peacock almost wiped his sweat. It would not do anything good for the old man to compliment him like this.
"Okay, you old guy, you don't need to praise me so fiercely. Do you think your little Jiujiu people don't know about it?" At this time, Wang Guishan spoke.
As the director of the Guangling City Museum, he immediately fell in love with the bronze cicada in Han Peacock's hand, so he was already a little impatient with Xu Xiangshan's pleasantries.
"You know what's wrong? They are all young elites here. Even if they know that I want something from them, will they still make things difficult for me? Besides, I don't want it in vain." Xu Xiangshan said.
Han Kongque smiled bitterly. This was definitely aimed at him, but he did have a lot of Hongxian porcelain in his hands. Of course, Jurentang had more money. If he could exchange these for some benefits, he would be very happy.
However, a big boss like Xu Xiangshan will definitely look down on a kid like Han Kongque. If he can offer some money, it should be considered the biggest concession.
But now, what Han Kongque lacks most is money. If he only wants to provide money, Han Kongque does not want to let go, because if there is one, there are two. With him alone, who knows who will come to trouble him.
In that case, it would be better to bite the bullet from now on and directly reject this big boss from the capital. If you reject him, you will have to think about your weight if someone comes to see him in the future.
Therefore, when Xu Xiangshan didn't explain clearly, Han Kongque just pretended that he didn't understand, and anyway he just refused to answer his question.
Seeing Han Kongque pretending to be stupid, Wang Guishan almost laughed out loud. In recent years, there are really few people in China who dare not give Xu Xiangshan face.
"Young man, can you show me the bronze cicada in your hand?" Wang Guishan said to Han Peacock.
"This is a bronze ring." Han Peacock did not take off the bronze cicada ring from his finger.
"Haha, you old guy is exhausted, right?" Xu Xiangshan said.
"Bronze cicada ring? Not a bronze cicada? Is it a decorative cicada?" Wang Guishan ignored Xu Xiangshan's sarcasm and asked urgently.
