Chapter 578 Good stuff
"I'll leave the pager and landline to you." Zhou Zhi also likes this middle-aged man with a delicate temperament and a rough foreign trade: "I'm going to BJ soon. When I get back, I have to go back to Jiachuan for my third year of high school. I don’t know when we will meet next time.”
“Anyway, I will come here to play in Shu. I have a lot of tea here.”
< br>"Old Zhang, you are so biased." Lao Chai said, "We have been here so many times and we haven't seen you hand out business cards."
Zhang Cheng just smiled and ignored Lao Chai. , brushed the pomegranate statue that had completely dissolved the primer with water repeatedly, took a soft towel and wiped it clean: "The bottom of the seal is carved, the age is right. The object with the open door, I found a treasure."
< br>
"What do you mean? I don't understand." The good thing about Lao Chai is that he just asks when he doesn't understand.
"Cowpea red glaze is a type of porcelain created and fired in the late Kangxi period. Most of the official kiln bases at that time were the "Kangxi Year System of the Qing Dynasty" in blue and white regular script. A small number of seal characters began to be used in the late Kangxi period, among which Divided into written and engraved styles . ”
“The base of this pomegranate statue is obviously carved on the base first, and then written with copper glaze. The era of the engraving style is exactly the same as the era when the pomegranate statue was created and burned. In addition, this large The bottom line to open the door is really It’s definitely of good quality.”
“I’m lucky.” Zhou Zhi nodded and turned the pomegranate statue again: “It’s also good luck. Otherwise, it would be randomly placed by the dealer and the quality would be damaged. It’s a loss.”< br>
Lao Chai and the others have seen a lot of porcelain, but this is the first time they have seen the Kangxi official kiln seal cutting. There is no doubt that this is the most solemn base printing of Lao Kang kiln, and the corresponding porcelain is also The highest standard of official kiln porcelain.
So this bottle suddenly became extremely noble and beautiful in the eyes of several people.
It is indeed more beautiful, but the bonus from natural sunlight only accounts for a small amount, and it is more of a psychological effect.
“That’s all I got from Gui Shizi this time.” Zhou Zhi said, “Uncle Zhang, please introduce me to your collection.”
“See for yourself, and I’ll do some research. Study Chongzhen blue and white," Zhang Cheng waved his hand: "It's okay if I miss something, but I shouldn't miss the opportunity to study it again."
"I also look at blue and white." Lao Chai was not willing to let such a good thing go. Learning Opportunities.
So the people in the shop were divided into three groups, two were studying Chongzhen blue and white, two were studying Kangxi seal cutting, and one was wandering around.
It should be said that the foundation of Dayazhai is good. Zhang Cheng has definitely received the guidance of a famous teacher, and the things collected at the counter are all visited in a systematic and orderly manner.
For example, the blue and white and pastel colors on the two counters are all arranged along the same line as Kangyong Road. Connoisseurs can tell the owner's vision at a glance.
Except for the third generation of the Qing Dynasty, the treasure of the store should be a Dehua porcelain Arhat statue, and the rest is a counter of miscellaneous small items.
"Uncle Zhang, how do you sell these beads?" Zhou Zhi found that there were more than ten Baoshan Nanhong beads inside. Thinking that he also had some that Uncle Yu gave as a gift, Zhou Zhi started to collect them.
"I'll give it to you if you like it. I still have some in the drawer under the cabinet, maybe twenty or thirty in total, and they're all incomplete." Zhang Cheng studied the blue and white porcelain with a magnifying glass without looking back: "Even if it's the viewing fee! "
"Thank you, Uncle Zhang!" Zhou Zhi was not polite, opened the cabinet and collected all the beads.
Chaozhu is a very complicated accessory. It was worn with the court dress of the Qing Dynasty. It can be worn by civil servants of the fifth rank and military attachés of the fourth rank and above.
The format of Chao beads is one hundred and eight main beads in a string. Every twenty-seventh there will be a larger bead of another material as a spacer bead. The bead at the back of the neck is also With a mouth, it is called "Buddha head".
The Buddha's head is a three-way structure. In addition to being connected to the bead string, there is also a ribbon underneath the mouth, which is connected to a square carved ornament called "Beiyun". The lower sash is continued, and there is a drop-shaped ornament at the bottom, which is called "falling foot".
There are also three wicker-shaped beads on the bead string, two on the left and one on the right, ten beads each. There are also small drop feet at the bottom. These beads are called "note twists". Sometimes the various parts are separated by small thin sheets, called "spacers".
Such a set of things are all made of precious stones, gold and jade. The materials are generally Dongzhu, jade, agate, lapis lazuli, coral, turquoise, etc.
Various colors are related to status and occasions. For example, the Empress Dowager’s court dress requires three strings. One plate of East beads is hung in the middle, and two plates of coral are hung diagonally on the shoulders.
The emperor hung lapis lazuli beads to worship the sky, amber to worship the ground, coral to worship the sun, and turquoise to worship the moon. They were all very particular.
Baoshan Nanhong belongs to the agate category. Because its color is close to coral, people use it to replace coral pearls. The material was almost exhausted in the late Qing Dynasty.
But Baoshan is in the middle of Yunnan, and things must go through Shuzhong when they are sent out. Therefore, in various cultural and entertainment stalls in this era, there are often scattered Nanhong and jade beads, which are sold very cheaply, and copper coins. For the same price, you can buy one for one or two yuan.
However, no one seems to have ever thought about collecting beads and rearranging them into strings.
Zhou Zhi has now collected a batch of court bead accessories, including Buddha heads, back clouds, bottom pendants, etc. There are also hundreds of southern red beads and jade beads, but they vary in size. Can't make up the whole bunch.
Since Lao Zhang is willing to give it away, Zhou Zhi is not polite, but he just doesn’t know if Nanhong Chao Pearl can be collected after adding this batch of beads.
The antique store has a policy of "not open for three years but open for three years". The store was actually clean. As everyone was busying themselves, someone pushed the door open and came in: "I walked around and saw no one. I guess you are here! What are you doing, elbow?" What's going on? You didn't even answer my call!"
"Oh, the pager is out of power." Zhou Zhi then remembered to look at his pager and found that the battery had been replaced.
"Shu Yi came to see you for something." The person who came was none other than Fei Guan: "We have arranged for them to eat outside."
After speaking, he raised his hand to Zhang Cheng: "Senior brother. "
"Senior brother?" Zhou Zhi felt very strange. People in Jiachuan said that people in Jiachuan know people well. It seems that Shu is not a big city either!
Fei Guan smiled and introduced to Jiuzi: "You all know each other, right? This Zhang Cheng, his master, is a fellow apprentice with our Gongmei Mr. Zhang. We were both associates at Laoqintai Antique Shop back then, so we are considered fellow apprentices. .”
< br>"No, it's not so affectionate." Zhang Cheng laughed: "Uncle Master has never recognized you as a disciple."
"You guys chat first, I'll go ask Shu Yi what's going on. "After Zhou Zhi said that, he opened the door and went out.
Fu Xia was eating big gulps of fat rice rolls. This girl also knew how to make rice rolls soaked in pots and rice rolls. She ate it more authentically than Jiang Shuyi, who had a small mouthful of pot rolls and a handful of rice noodles.
"Shu Yi, are you sleepy?" Zhou Zhi asked, "It will be a while before we can go back."
Jiang Shuyi shook her head, took out a notebook and opened it: "Take a look, I think you must like these things."
Zhou Zhi took the notebook and found that it was filled with book titles.
"Xuan Shi Zhi", "Ju Tan Lu", "Jin Hua Zi Miscellaneous Collection", "Xuan He Painting Book", "Mustard Seed Garden Painting Book", "Chengdu Chronicle"...
" Great stuff! Where did you see it?”
