Chapter 577: Ming Qian
Although Zhou Zhi recognized Zhang Cheng very much, the interest of Lao Chai and others seemed not to be here.
Lao Chai was even more straightforward: "Lao Zhang, you said that such a big pile is of no use to us, so just tell us how to make this Chongzhen blue and white imitation from a pile. Just identify it inside."
"Ah this..." Zhang Cheng didn't know how to say it for a while.
"Don't you think this is wrong?" Lao Chai seriously criticized Zhang Cheng's attitude: "Once you get to the place where the tendons and meridians are crossed, you will become mute. I am afraid that others will learn how to walk. "
Zhang Cheng looked at Zhou Zhi, and both of them saw helpless looks in each other's eyes. Zhang Cheng simply took over Zhou Zhi's work: "I'll brush the bottom, and you'll deal with the live babies!"
"It's not that Uncle Zhang didn't say it, but there are too many details in the appraisal of porcelain. I don’t even know where to start.” Zhou Zhi, who is used to writing articles, thought about how to start explaining: “The blue and white flowers of the Chongzhen period were the peak of the ‘transformation period’. As for the shapes of these two cylinder bottles, in fact, It is also the first of its kind in the early stage. It has a name, which means The homophonic pronunciation is "Yi Tong Jiang Shan Vase". "
"There are actually four characteristics to identify blue and white porcelain, porcelain body, white glaze, blue and white, and painting skills."
"Uncle Zhang just said. In the jargon, this is called the Chongzhen blue and white flower. 'Big appearance' is an important sign to identify the authenticity of ancient porcelain."
"If the large appearance is not correct, then unless the artifact is archaeologically found in an ancient tomb, it will not appear on the market. You have to put a question mark first.”
"Take this cylinder bottle from "Dream of the High Tang Dynasty" as an example. As you can see, the shape of the banana leaf at the mouth of the bottle is slanted. Unlike the blue and white flowers on the front and back, it is mostly a pattern perpendicular to the center line of the bottle."
"This is called 'Xianfeng Banana Leaf'. Only the blue and white porcelain that started after the transformation period has this feature."
"Look at the bottom. The tire is cut around the bottom to form a double-layered stepped foot. This is a typical pedicure method for porcelain during the transition period."< br>
“The blue and white hair color is beautiful. Everyone, pay attention here. The cloud patterns, sun, scaly ground patterns, egg-shaped leaf patterns and mountain rocks all have very distinctive characteristics of the times.”
“We Look at the ground pattern. If you look closely, you can find that the ground pattern actually simulates the shades of shadows created by characters, trees, furniture, etc. on the ground. For example, clusters of V-shaped symbols are used to represent grass, but there are depth and lightness. "< br>
"There are three types of ground patterns in the transformation period. One type is only painted with V-shaped patterns. The ground patterns are composed of extremely fine and dense V-shaped patterns. There is no decoration under the V-shaped patterns."
"The second type is the V-shaped pattern." Rendering the base color first and then embellishing it with V-shaped patterns takes less time than the former, but the decorative effect is similar;"
“The three of them are only decorated with a few V-shaped patterns, which seems a bit perfunctory. Generally, people with rough patterns use this method.”
“Obviously this cylinder bottle uses the first technique. , so in addition to being an important feature of transitional porcelain, it is also the painting on this type of porcelain The same is true for the painting method of cloud patterns. The most common one during this period is the bracketed cloud pattern. The length of the painting varies according to the requirements of the picture. The main decorative positions are divided into two types: one is on the utensils. The back, that is, the non-main part, is usually painted with mountains, rocks and cloud patterns floating in it. It means that the clouds are dense and foggy in the mountains. The second is to draw a corner of the cloud pattern in the main part of the picture, usually on the upper side of the main body, with pavilions, pavilions and other buildings looming in the clouds, in order to increase the depth of field of the picture. and decorative”
""Dream of Gaotang" is derived from "Ode to Gaotang" in Volume 19 of "Selected Works of Zhaoming". It tells the story of King Xiang of Chu and Song Yu traveling to Yunmeng Terrace and looking at Gaotang. There were clouds above it. The king asked why it was cloudy. Song Yu replied that it was Chaoyun, and then asked what Chaoyun was. It leads to a dream of Gaotang. According to Song Yu, in the past, King Huai of Chu traveled to Gaotang and slept during the day. He dreamed of a woman who said that she was a Wushan girl and a guest of Gaotang. She heard that King Huai was visiting Gaotang and wanted to be his bed. Later, a temple was built for him, named "Chaoyun" . The dream of Gaotang was later used as a metaphor for the encounter between men and women, and the term "Wushan Yunyu" came from this. "Luo Shui Bei" "", "Five Lakes Tour" and "Far Mountain Drama", the four stories changed the romance into a drama, conveying a kind of elegance and sentiment of the literati at that time. "
"Therefore, the group on this bottle. moiré pattern, except for tuanqu The wavy pattern is a line that outlines layers of clouds. The light color rendering within the lines gives a feeling of clouds. It is also different from the flowing clouds and fog miasma effects presented by the bracketed cloud patterns. The picture of the bottle is divided into two Space expresses the feeling of one layer of reality and one layer of dreamland.”
“The painting style of Appreciation Bottle is elegant and the colors are elegant. The characters painted are whether they are the King of Chu lying on a mat or people in a dream. Goddess maid, painted in a harmonious style The majestic atmosphere of the Kangxi Dynasty is very different, and it is more delicate and graceful, showing a unique and fresh beauty."
"There are generally three types of rendering techniques for the figures on the vase: one is flat. Painting method, dark color After the lines outline the outer contour of the clothing, the inner clothing pattern is simply outlined, and the inner surface is painted with blue and white of different shades to distinguish the clothing differences of different characters. Everyone uses this rendering method to see the clothes of the King of Chu;"
"The second is to only outline the simplest outline, and the folds of the clothes are represented by rendering them deep. This method is often used to draw small figures. On this vase, the maid's clothes are like this;"
"Third The rendering method is similar to the rendering of gongbi painting. The lines of the clothing pattern are rendered in several layers, with different shades. , is most suitable for painting long robes and large sleeves, which can vividly express the layers of pleats on the hanging sleeves. This method is used for the clothing pattern of the goddess with large robes and large sleeves in the painting, and the decorative effect is excellent. ”
"In addition, there is another important characteristic of the era, that is, the clothing of people in this period will be stained with *-like patterns. This feature is also very obvious on the goddess's belt and leader. "
"The story of Wushan Yunyu painted in this product is obviously derived from the Zaju prints, but the image and clothing of the characters are typical. Due to the limitations of the Chongzhen period's painting style, Yunmeng's platform was also replaced by pavilions and columns. Zhan Lai said that this was also the bold modification of the craftsmen at that time. "
"This romantic theme was adapted into a drama in the Ming Dynasty, and was painted on porcelain in the late Ming Dynasty and placed in the study room as a desk toy. It is impossible to tolerate it in the front and back official kilns. ”
"The above are the details for identifying porcelain. They are called 'small models' in the jargon. The size is no problem. Combined with the other characteristics and supporting evidence, if you are confident, you can almost identify the age of this vase. You can I picked it up decisively.”
“You still call it picking up after seeing this?” Lao Chai felt sweat on his forehead: “Our buying method is to pick up the leak by chance. , you... you are simply relying on your own knowledge to rob!"
"When you enter this market, you have to rely on your own eyesight and be willing to admit defeat." Zhang Cheng took out a book from the cabinet. He threw a business card to Zhou Zhi: "Jiuzhi, please leave me your contact information so that I can help you when I don't understand."
