Chapter 803 Theory and Practice
This is said easily, but Lin Wanqiu’s coming-of-age ceremony was more than ten years ago. At that time, the income of ordinary people in Hong Kong was only a few hundred dollars a month, two thousand dollars. US dollars is also their income for the first year of their junior year.
It would be even more unimaginable if I moved to the mainland.
Thinking about it again, even if Zhang Zongxian broke the wrong piece of porcelain, it was still Su material, and Zhongming was still sure of it.
Two thousand US dollars may have been the normal market price for high-quality Ming Dynasty porcelain in Hong Kong Island at that time.
Everyone congratulated Lin Wanqiu. It was obvious that this was the second important item in tomorrow's auction.
"Yes, if I had known this, Brother Zhang wouldn't have put this jar out to his niece." Yang Yongde made a joke about Zhang Zongxian.
Seeing the people who easily thought they had learned how to identify dragon patterns, Zhou Zhi suddenly became mischievous: "Now there is a dragon pattern artifact. If there is a lin, it has no wings, two legs, a curly grass tail, and a mouth. Passion flower, what kind of dragon pattern should we think it is?”
“Huh?” His brows suddenly wrinkled: "Just now, Little Friend Zhou said that those without scales and wings are called Chi; those without scales and wings are called Kui; those with Lin and wings are Ying; those with Lin and no wings are called Dragons."
"But the dragon should be It has four legs, three, four and five claws, and two horns. You have two legs again, with a curly grass tail and a passion flower in your mouth. This..."
This is the difference between practice and theory. When Mr. Wang was giving lectures to Zhou Zhi, he once brought up this question to embarrass Zhou Zhi.
As expected, everyone was stumped again. Some said that it should be counted as a dragon, some said that it should be counted as a Kui dragon, and some said that there should not be such a thing. If there is, then it should be counted as a new one. variety.
Zhou Zhi said with a smile: "There is another characteristic of Su Mali's green material. There are rust spots on all the heavy strokes, which is called tin light."
An Zhaiyingyi suddenly said: "Yes, this of utensils Tin light..."
After speaking, he bent down again: "Looking sideways at the light, the tin light overlaps the lower body of this Kui dragon, like it is covered with thick scales. This is... the upper body is like a beast, and the lower body is like a dragon! "
Lin Wanqiu couldn't help being shocked: "Zhou Zhi, you didn't look at this thing carefully, did you? How did you know?!"
"I know a little bit about calligraphy and Chinese painting. Based on my knowledge of calligraphy and Chinese painting, I can deduce this How is the dragon drawn? Although it depends on the It seems to have no scales, but in fact, the craftsman painted the lower body of the Kui dragon according to the drawing method of the horned dragon, but used a thick brush to make the scales cover each other and look like a whole."
"Again. According to the characteristics of Su material, it is conceivable that the dragon body is stacked with glaze The effect of continuous tin light will inevitably be formed after firing, but these scales are covered with the deep green color of the Su material, and it requires careful observation with side light to distinguish them. ”
“ Therefore, this dragon should still be viewed as a Kui dragon, and Xuande Kuilong's so-called "scale-free" is actually caused by the painter's thicker brush and the smudge effect of the Su material itself. "
"The later painters were not meticulous enough when imitating. Painted it as if it were scaleless.”
"If you can put so much thought into a piece of porcelain, this blue and white piece must be authentic from the Xuande Dynasty."
"This also answers the question just now. If a piece of blue and white is really discovered in the future, If an artifact with a dragon pattern has a lin, no wings, two legs, a curly grass tail, and a passion flower in its mouth, then we should think it is a Kui dragon pattern. Moreover, the painter has truly understood Xuande Kuilong's painting technique, but without the Su material, he cannot use the smudge effect of the Su material to create the magical tin spots and scales effect."
Everyone gathered there again. They looked carefully under a piece of Xuande porcelain. After reading it, they looked at each other. Who in the world would have thought that the ancients would come up with such a mechanism? !
You can’t say that. Isn’t there an evildoer in front of you who has thought of it? !
No one has doubts about Zhou Zhi’s appraisal skills. Anzhai Eiichi loves porcelain the most. Before, he was a little disapproving of the Xuande Kuilong jar. After all, he didn’t know blue and white from the Yuan and Ming Dynasties. Now I'm actually a little excited.
Goro Sakamoto coughed quickly to remind him not to lose his composure. Anzhai Eiichi's eyes turned to regret. The task of this auction was arduous. The fragments of the "Dainikkei" were the national treasures of the island country, and they had to concentrate their firepower to win them down.
If the Chinese people knew that they had given up the Tang Dynasty calligraphy fragments of their country for a piece of Chinese Ming Dynasty porcelain, then when they returned to China, they would really have had a caesarean section to apologize.
Zhou Zhi also expected this, so he openly displayed the identification results to everyone.
He has already taken a fancy to this jar. As a partner of Haitong, he participated in the auction of Lin Wanqiu's studio on Hong Kong Island. There are a lot of tricks that can be manipulated here.
Even if the auction ends up with tens of millions of dollars, you don’t really need to pay that much. At most, it will only subsidize the Hong Kong Island Inland Revenue Department with a stamp duty.
So he is not afraid of anyone raising the price with him. Raising the price is to give Lin Wanqiu a chance to become famous, which she dreams of.
Lin Wanqiu asked with a smile: "Does anyone have any objections to Zhou Zhi's identification results?"
There was no way to raise any objections. Everyone said that they had learned more today.
Lin Wanqiu smiled and said: "We will invite all the guests to our dinner party that night. After the banquet, there will be a special car to take you to the hotel where you are staying. At nine o'clock tomorrow morning, there will also be a special car to greet you."< br>
Anzhai Eiichi said: "Regarding the fragments of the "Mainikaku", we still have some issues that we would like to discuss with Mr. Xiao Zhou."
Several bosses were stunned. You must know that they are all Dazang They also have their own collection consultants, and the level of collection consultants is generally not low.
Version Goro should be both the opponent of Eiichi Ataka and his advisor, or one of the advisors. He is an art professor at Kyoto National University, and he has been involved in several auctions with Eiichi Ataka. Competition for auction items will take place at the meeting.
But as soon as the "Dainikkei" comes out, the two of them must share their hatred and hatred to the outside world. Now Anzhai Eiichi said that he wanted to discuss the issue with Zhou Zhi, which is very strange.
Looking at Sakamoto Goro's attitude towards Zhou Zhi before, on such an occasion, he was obviously rude to Zhou Zhi, but now Anzhai's attitude is so humble. This is the legendary one who is a good person and a bad person. ?
Zhou Zhi doesn't find it strange. It's almost the DNA of this nation to be afraid of power and not be immoral. In the past, neither of them would have looked at him in the eyes, but now that they have come out like this, it can only explain one problem - There is a strategic problem, and I hope it can be solved through tactics.
What could be the problem? Only one possible, insufficient funds.
After the signing of the Plaza Accord, the island country experienced five years of peaking. At that time, the whole country was ecstatic and claimed that it could buy the United States.
However, the economic bubble burst just when everyone was happiest, and now three years have passed.
In the past three years, the island country has also been thinking about countermeasures. It has reduced investment internally, curbed consumption, implemented financial mergers and industrial mergers externally, and begun to realize large-scale industrial transfers, occupy overseas markets, and at the same time provide domestic enterprises with Free up market space.
Industry began to shift from processing industries to high-tech, high-value-added electronics, machinery, chemicals and other industries, while industries such as shipbuilding and automobiles were exported overseas.
To put it nicely, this is the implementation of the economic globalization strategy by island countries, but to put it poorly, it is called drinking poison to quench thirst.
If it were not for the miraculous rapid rise of our neighbors from the east - eventually defeating their brands with local brands, such as electrical appliances; introducing balancing mechanisms for those that cannot be defeated, such as cars; and quickly building up foreign exchange reserves with great determination, This determines the scale of foreign trade that we can control, and we can effectively participate in international competition - their strategy may really succeed.
