Chapter 615 Why dyeing
As he spoke, Mr. Ma turned the car into the bicycle lane and stopped at the edge of the sidewalk: "It's not as evil as you said, is it? My car is a military brand, and it's on the ground of the capital. How can we be afraid of an out-of-town car?”
The white Daifa drove up from behind, didn’t stop at all when passing the jeep, and kept speeding away at the same speed.
"The car from Ji Province." Mr. Ma restarted: "I said you were too nervous, right? Look, now it's us and it."
"It seems that he is Driving normally, I was too nervous just now... Hey, don't you think I missed something like us and wanted to leave in a hurry?" Zhou Zhi asked.
"Hahaha..." Mr. Ma laughed and said: "The elbow is quite humorous. I couldn't tell it when we first met... Look to your right, there is Panjiayuan, and ahead is Longtan Park."
"Where is that over there?" Dafa in front turned to the south when passing Panjiayuan, and parted ways with Zhou Zhi and the others.
"That's Shili River over there, go to Fangzhuang." Mr. Ma smiled and said, "We'll take stock of everything under the headlight when we get back."
"I want to take stock of you. "Zhou Zhi yawned: "From getting angry It’s really hard to carry the car now. Brother Yu will come over at dawn, there are too many things to do.”
Back at Miantang House, Zhou Zhi feels really sleepy. The travel and entertainment these days have been overwhelming. It’s more tiring than staying up late at night writing.
So I was too lazy to continue studying things with Mr. Ma, so I went to the room and went to sleep.
The light in the summer in the north is very strong. I slept until after nine o'clock, but the strong light adjusted Zhou Zhi's biological clock.
"Are you awake?" Mr. Ma was still admiring the plum vase in the sun. The blue and white writing pen holder and the bone bird food jar were thrown aside.
"Master Ma, have you not rested?" Zhou Zhi asked: "Where are my sworn brothers and the others?"
"Lao Yu is here and sent me to take your sworn brothers and the others to the Summer Palace. .”
"Oh." Zhou Zhi nodded: "What did Director Li say?"
"Director Li agreed, 1.1 million, including the house and furniture, will be given to you." Mr. Ma said The plum vase was placed on the stone table in the patio: "Stop talking about that and look at things."
Under the natural light, the beauty of porcelain is completely released.
This is the earliest "red" porcelain that the Chinese got. It is said to be red, but in fact it is more like a date skin color, but it does not have the oily sheen on the date skin.
The bottle body is very finely processed, and the Tang grass pattern is flexible and stretched. It is on the same level as the Tang grass pattern depicted in the black glaze of Ding kiln that Zhou Zhi had seen in the album. It is the same era and the characteristics are completely consistent with the style of Ding kiln in the Northern Song Dynasty.
There is still some blank space where the glaze is lost at the bottom. In theory, it should be a flaw, but when it falls on this piece of ancient porcelain, Zhou Zhi feels like a beauty in a cheongsam, revealing a little flesh color between the slits when she moves. Full of seductive beauty.
"Zi Ding with dark carvings, it seems that you have never seen anything like this before?" Zhou Zhi was trying to recall the porcelain he had seen in various picture albums, but he had no impression.
Master Ma also breathed out softly: "There are carved Ding Kiln wares and Longquan Kiln wares, but generally one is white glaze and the other is green glaze; there are Ding Kiln wares depicting Tang grass, but They all have white glaze as the base and black glaze as the painting piece; Zidian is basically a small dish. There are only two known plum vases. One of them you must know is the one with a lid collected by the Davide Foundation. of Standard vessel. ”
“Yes, that is the plum bottle type. It was originally used as a wine vessel. It is very rare.”
“The other one is collected by the Yu Provincial Museum. , but that one doesn’t have a mushroom mouth, and it doesn’t have a cover. The glazing process is more complete than that of the David Foundation, and it’s also of a later date.”
"I've never seen this one in the Yu Provincial Museum."
"But the two purple dings are both optical vessels, and the one with engraving..." Mr. Ma pondered for a while: "I haven't seen it in my impression either. After..."
At this point, the two of them looked at each other At the same time, he said: "Go to the old man!" It's funny to say that although the old man is over eighty years old, he has not officially retired. He is now a researcher at the Chinese Cultural Relics Institute of the Cultural Relics Bureau of the Ministry of Culture, and he also has a very important position as a national cultural relic. Member of the Appraisal Committee.
But now he is in the stage of exerting his residual heat, and no one dares to come and disturb him when he has nothing to do.
The old man has been open-minded and optimistic all his life. He once lived at the top of society, and also fell to the bottom of the deep valley. In the end, he regained respect and recognition and returned to his rightful status.
The old man lived in a small courtyard in an alley, not even too far from Miantang House. The two of them went out carrying their things and called a three-wheeler, and walked around two palace walls to arrive.
This courtyard is much smaller than the Miantang House, and the courtyard is filled with so many household items that it is difficult to get in and out.
When Zhou Zhi squeezed sideways through the passage made of furniture, he was secretly stunned. A lot of furniture here could be seen clearly, including eight famous chairs, all of which caught his eye!
Now it is piled here like this, with only a tarp on the head. Such precious furniture is piled like firewood. The preservation conditions are really worrying.
After squeezing through the passage, there is a small patio. There are several pots of evergreens placed beside the stone stairs. When the wooden door with red lacquer panes is pushed open, several old men are talking inside.
"Old man! We are here to visit you!" Mr. Ma greeted a kind-faced old man opposite, and then nodded to two younger men next to him, about fifty or sixty years old: " Master Wang, Master Chen."
"Did you come to see the good things?" The old man waved: "Who is this young man?"
"My name is Zhou Zhi, Mr. I have admired you for a long time, now I followed Mr. Ma to visit me. Mr. Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "I bought this with Mr. Ma in the ghost market last night. It's disrespectful to show respect to you."
"Yo, this is good Something." Mr. Wang Shixiang took the small green tube that Zhou Zhi took out and couldn't put it down, reading it for a while: "You also went to Da Liushu yesterday? Did you understand this thing?"
"I don't know much about it. The elbow said it might be made from big cat raw material, but I don't know why it is made like this."
"This thing is too rare now." The old man pressed the small tube with his thumb. He fiddled with it a few times with his index finger and said, "This is what the banner people use to raise thrushes and ring their eyes."
"Excuse me, old man, why do you need to use big cat raw material to make a container?" Zhou Zhi asked road.
"Tiger and tiger are powerful! The thrush is a fighting bird. They believe that if they use raw material from big cats to make food cans, the thrush will also be stained with the tiger's energy, and they will be fierce and active when fighting."
"The same is true for raising Huanyan. With Xiongfeng, Huanyan loves to scream, and the screams are even louder!"
"But why dye it green again?"
"This is just a personal preference. In fact, in the past, it was the majority who did not dye it, and very few dyed it."
"Really? Mr. Ma was a little surprised: "But you haven't seen him in all these years?"
"Then why do you think about it?" The old man smiled.
"I guess, the undyed ones were all used by others later." Zhou Zhi said.
"Elbow, right? That's right!" The old man nodded: "Just like many rhino horns and tortoiseshells collected in homes, they have been used up, but only the dyed ones are left."
