In terms of color, this vase is even more exaggerated, combining magenta, fruit green, vitriol red, gold color, turquoise green glaze, carmine red material color, and blue material color;< br>
In terms of craftsmanship, this bottle integrates various techniques such as rolling, porcelain carving, hollowing, and centering.
This bottle has detailed records in the Qing Palace archives and was a New Year's Day tribute presented to Haifu in the 30th year of Qianlong's reign.
Looking at the Qianlong official kiln wares, most of them cost less than five taels.
From the 28th to the 30th year of Qianlong's reign, the cost was more than 10 taels, but less than 20 pieces, such as the Yangcai Taiping Ruyi Zun Silver 19 taels and the Jiayao blue and white Eight Immortals gourd vase with 15 taels.
The cost of revolving bottles is generally high, such as the Baizi Taiping large revolving bottle, which costs fifty-five taels of silver.
The most expensive one is this "Danfeng Laiyi Rotary Bottle Complete Piece", with the official record cost as high as sixty taels.
The furnishings after entering the palace must be equipped with rare things. In the 22nd year of Qianlong's reign, he gave three colorful magnetic revolving vases with three bouquets of ivory flowers, a jasper Ruyi handle, a Xinshan jade Ruyi handle, and two sweat jade chimes;
The place where they are displayed is shown in There are Old Summer Palace, Ningshou Palace, Rehe Potala Temple, Yong'an Temple and other places. Moreover, it is mentioned several times in the archives that the revolving vase was kept as a decoration in the palace during important festivals, which shows that it has a special status and is regarded as a rare choice and a sign of auspiciousness. It was favored and cherished by the emperor.
The full name of this bottle should be called "Imperial-made foreign-colored, rouge-red, ground-rolled, carved porcelain, hollowed out, phoenix coming, hundreds of birds facing the phoenix, double-chill-eared large revolving vase." After Qianlong admired it, he dedicated it to himself. mother.
This bottle was found by Lin Wanqiu in the home of a diplomatic family in the Middle East through connections.
At that time, the old ambassador passed away, and his children dealt with his belongings and packaged the Asian "display items" and gave them to Lin Wanqiu.
Among them are mainly cultural relics from island countries, Thailand, and India, as well as many jade gemstones from Southeast Asia.
Lin Wanqiu was too busy and couldn't afford it due to lack of funds, so she packaged the Chinese cultural relics to her VIPs and organized an internal small auction to raise funds and thank the customers.
Zhou Zhi spent $800,000 to grab this bottle.
Master Ma also wanted it, but he didn’t have much money. He couldn’t even get a Qianlong pastel rouge red golden pheasant and peony vase worth 210,000 US dollars, so he borrowed 50,000 from Zhou Zhi to get it.
However, Zhou Zhi cannot laugh at others, because at this year's Jiade auction, there is a Song Ge Kiln Bafang Ear Vase, which also became his biggest regret because of the lack of money.
He paid 8 million for this piece of porcelain, which was all his working capital at the time, but it was still not enough.
If it was a red-jun kiln, Zhou Zhi might have to sell it. However, because he already had a Ge Kiln fish basket stove, the quality of which was far superior to this one, he finally gave up.
After he let it go, the competition for this piece of porcelain was still fierce. Finally, after twenty more bids, it was sold at an outrageous price of 10 million.
With this piece of porcelain, Guardian became famous and became the largest auction house in Hong Kong Island.
In addition to the personal ones, there are many more things that happened during this period.
"The Legend of the White Snake" premiered in mainland China, CCTV underwent a major revamp, Intel officially released the Pentium processor, Hainan real estate collapsed, the "Wang-Koo Talks" were held, local TV stations and radio stations were established one after another, Shanghai Becoming the third city to have a subway after BJ and Tianjin City, the "Galaxy Full Digital Simulation·II" computer passed the national appraisal, Premier Zhu concurrently served as the governor of the People's Bank of China and began to rectify the financial order, Beyond's lead singer Huang Jiaju passed away in Japan...
In Zhou Zhi's heart, The third year of high school seems to be very long, but also too short.
It was so short that I felt like I was visiting Anleshan yesterday, and then had dinner at Wei Fei's house to cheer everyone up, and now I am sitting in the examination room.
The 1993 College Entrance Examination included six liberal arts subjects, 120 subjects in Chinese and Mathematics, and 100 subjects in English, Politics, History, and Geography, with a total score of 640.
This year's exam is on July 7, 893, one month later than the college entrance examination in later generations.
The summer in Jiachuan was very hot this year, but there were two days of heavy rain between exams, which made the weather cooler.
This has also caused flooding in some villages. In order to allow students to take the college entrance examination in time, village cadres in many villages have organized escort teams to protect students from arriving at the examination room safely. Parents have come up with all sorts of weird and bizarre tricks since the Spring Festival, including royal jelly, malted milk with eggs, fish heads, stewed pigeons with gastrodia elata... Anyway, I want to open the baby's head and pour the tonic into it to directly stimulate IQ. Two hundred geniuses.
Of course, there is strong resistance to these considerations. Balanced nutrition and moderate exercise are the best ways to maintain energy. In this way, the number of pigeons that cannot stand on the roof is decreasing day by day.
The last day was geography and history. When Zhou Zhi walked out of the examination room, amidst the cheers of the candidates and the scattered books and papers that everyone frantically threw down the teaching building, he looked up at the pigeons hovering in the sky: " Your disaster is over for now."
"Elbow!" Mu Ruyun came over and grabbed Zhou Zhi's arm: "How did you do in the exam?"
"What about you?" road.
"That's just me. You know my strength is mathematics. I'm not very good at geography and history."
"Let's go, call everyone to the teaching and research office, let's review it!"
Study One of Ba's important abilities is that after taking the test, he can copy the test paper from his memory, write his own answers at the time, and basically know his test score.
When we arrived at the teaching and research section, Zhao Shangzhong and several teaching and research team leaders were also waiting here.
Zhao Shangzhong took out a few rolls of paper: "I was afraid that it would affect everyone's performance a few days ago. I called you here today because you are the best students in our school. I want to invite you to recall. Let’s take a look and estimate the college entrance examination scores.”
Zhou Zhi said: "You guys read it first. I will write down today's geography and history first."
No one expected that there would be such a story.
Wei Fei shook his head and took out several other science papers: "This year's mathematics... is really difficult."
The mathematics paper in 1993 created Shuchuan Mathematics The difficulty level of the college entrance examination was at its highest in the past fifteen years, whether it was liberal arts or science. Even Wei Fei and Mu Ruyun shook their heads.
In fact, it is not only mathematics, but also other subjects.
When the scores were collected, everyone looked unhappy.
Zhao Shangzhong consoled him: "Don't be discouraged, everyone. We have to think like this. Even if it is difficult for us, it will be even harder for others."
"Isn't there a saying in our Shu country, It’s called everyone’s horse and everyone rides it, no one can escape.”
“In fact, the test is difficult. A little is better, so that we can widen the gap. I estimate that there will be some changes in the points collection this year."
Seeing that everyone was silent, Jiang Shuyi spoke first: "I don't know how much I can get for the English composition. , based on the average score, I might be around 480.”
"Wow, Shuyi, you did so well in the exam?!" Zhang Xinyi said: "I just did it, and it's at least five points lower than you."
"I'm not as good as you." Liang Hong said with a sad face: "I only have four hundred and five."
"You still have the body." "Extra points for education, and I'm applying for a sports major." Zhao Shangzhong said: "You are the most reliable, and you have already won the first choice of Sichuan Sports Institute."
"What about you, Zhou Zhi?" ”
