Chapter 1086 My heart is trembling
At that time, I raised my hand and donated more than 20 cultural relics, including the inkstone used by Emperor Kangxi and the inkstone given to Tian Wenjing by Fifang, to the Liao Provincial Museum.
When the curator of the museum came to pick up the things, he saw a scroll of Pu Xinshe on Qi Lao's desk, so he politely expressed his request to take it away. Qi Lao waved his hand without saying a word Let them be taken away together.
Compared with the energy of picking and picking up nothing in the warehouse before leaving, Zhou Zhi really cannot imitate the demeanor of the older generation like Qi Lao and Wang Lao.
This kind of style can also be seen in the fourth cousin's uncle and the fourth aunt. Zhou Zhi's first important collection was a plum green lotus leaf covered jar from Longquan kiln in the Southern Song Dynasty. After the fourth cousin identified it, he did not want it, but Indicates Zhou Zhi accepts it.
Uncle Yu, too, liked Zhou Zhi, so he usually gave him a lot of good things, including a few white jade brands. Only when Zhou Zhi's eyesight improved, did he realize that they were the craftsmanship of the manufacturing office.
"Wait a minute," Zhou Zhi ran into his warehouse, and after a while, he brought out three pieces of porcelain.
One is a soup basin with a lid, with snow-dot plum blossoms on it, and two lines of regular script written on one side.
"Qiao does not fight for spring, she only repays it when spring comes."
This is Mao porcelain, but it is the first batch of samples. The leader is not Qianlong, who likes to keep his poems for his own use On the porcelain, there were no poems left on the porcelain that was officially fired later.
Therefore, the number of Mao porcelain with inscriptions on it is very rare.
The remaining two pieces of porcelain are from the Eight Friends of Zhushan. One is Bi Botao's Panasonic Wolu pen holder, and the other is Wang Qi's figure seat screen.
Both of them are the founders of the Eight Friends of Zhushan. Bi Botao also has the reputation of being a scholar in the Qing Dynasty. Now it is barely reliable to designate them as cultural relics.
“Is this the famous Mao Porcelain?” Yu Bin looked solemn.
“Are Mao porcelain famous?” Zhou Zhi was puzzled: “Wasn’t it just the one auctioned by Guardian last year?”
Wang Gang smiled and said: "Teacher Ma wrote an article specifically explaining Mao porcelain and Jianguo porcelain, and believed that its quality can be called 'contemporary official kiln'. This statement was also recognized by Wang Lao and Qi Lao."
Master Wang Zi picked up the pen holder: "Although this pen holder is an imitation of the Qianlong model, the painter has actually become better than his predecessor, and the coloring is more detailed."
Qi Lao smiled and said: "It's not meticulous, it's ancient craftsman's painting The skills and aesthetics have not reached the heights they are today. At that time, craftsmen were busy painting every day, and their painting skills were taught by the masters around them. How could later generations have such a broad vision and have art schools systematically improve their painting skills?”
"This screen is beautiful." Mr. Ma said, "I also used this as an illustration in the article."
The screen is made of blue and white, but it uses blue and white to outline the "Five Sons" using the line drawing technique of traditional Chinese painting. Maitreya" pattern.
The Five Sons of Maitreya is also a traditional pattern. It is a big-bellied Maitreya Buddha half-lying there with a smile, and five children crawling around on him.
Line drawing is very particular, and it also tests the pen strength and calligraphy skills, lifting the head, pulling the line, finishing or back hook or pause. In short, each line will contain a variety of changes, and the most taboo is sluggishness. .
The most powerful master of this is Wu Daozi, who reached the top in the Tang Dynasty.
Human figures are the most difficult to draw. Zhou Zhi also has a collection of blue and white porcelain with human figures from the Ming and Qing dynasties, such as the blue and white "Rising Sun" vase from the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty and the "Dream of the High Tang Dynasty" vase , the wildflowers in "The Picture of Nine Elders", the jade pot and spring vase in "Moon Worship".
Jiajing did not have an official kiln system, but it did not lack official kiln-level tributes, and these porcelains were all.
However, there are very few changes in the lines of the characters above. As far as the painting skills are concerned, it is not even a bit inferior to Wang Qi's works.
“Wenwanxing should give the Eight Friends of Zhushan a corresponding status.” Zhou Zhi said: “In addition to Mao porcelain, these two works by the founder of the Eight Friends of Zhushan sect should be given to Sister Wanqiu. Let's take a photo." Mr. Wang is familiar with these people: "What's in your Jianguo porcelain? There are also many works by these people. "
Jianguo porcelain can actually be regarded as a "contemporary official kiln", and the eight friends and their apprentices can be among the types of colored porcelain paintings. Occupying an important position actually proves the official recognition of them.
“Why don’t we just stop shooting this piece of porcelain?” Yu Bin was a little anxious: “Make a price and I can take it directly.”
Only then did Zhou Zhi realize that Yu Bin, like Ma Ye Wang Shuo and Feng Cang, both belonged to the "big courtyard sons and brothers", equivalent to what was later called the "red second generation and red third generation", so it was normal to have a special liking for this porcelain. .
“It’s a beautiful idea.” Lin Wanqiu immediately pressed down the soup bowl with a lid. The domestic art market is still developing, but “porcelain for leaders’ own use” has its own halo, and it has now been launched on Hong Kong Island. The influence of the name has radiated back to the country.
Hungry marketing has been going on for so long, and this time Jiuzi is willing to put one up for auction to test the waters, so he can’t live up to his kindness: “The highest bidder will win, and we cannot deprive others of the opportunity to contribute to the Three Gorges Cultural Preservation Fund. . ”
This reason was so high that Yu Bin had no choice but to stop.
"Old man, what is your collection for auction this time?" Zhou Zhi asked Mr. Wang.
"Actually, I have been waiting for you to come." Mr. Wang said: "My wife and I are getting older. When it is time to make subtractions and part with some things, we want to transfer them but are afraid of spoiling good things next time. Do you want to take over?"< br>
Zhou Zhi was shocked, looked at Mr. Ma, and then back to Mr. Wang: "Why?"
Master Ma smiled bitterly: "If you want to ask Mr. Wang why he didn't transfer it to me, I would I can answer because it is collected in The conditions at my place are the same as those at the old man's place."
"But it's different here. The conditions here are also at the museum level."
"Originally the best. The best thing is to donate it to the Forbidden City, but some of the things in it are quite taboo, and even if I want to study it casually after entering the museum, it will not be easy for me." Mr. Wang said with a smile: "In addition, my husband and I also want to change some money to spend. .”
What I said before is basically true. The old man interacts with many people, old and young. There may be some carelessness in calligraphy, painting and text. It may not be a good thing if it falls into the hands of outsiders.
The last sentence is purely funny. Zhou Zhi probably didn’t even use up the one million dollars last time.
"There is another reason. There are many and complicated things, and the younger generations haven't studied them deeply. I'm afraid they will pack them up and sell them after Tsuen You and I go."
"That's not true. It's natural to say that you can't sell it, but you can enter and leave my house. I'm just afraid that they will make a loss. "
Well, you, the old man, may make a bigger loss. Zhou Zhi did not dare to speak out what was in his heart, knowing that the old man was worried that his collection would fall into the hands of the nouveau riche and be wasted.
Looking back on the history of later generations, it seems that after the two elders passed away, all their things were really put up for auction. It took five auctions before they were sold out.
"Old man, what items are you going to give away?"
"I'm going to take out the bulky and complicated ones first." Mr. Wang said: "Leave one guqin and one copper stove. I will keep the paintings and calligraphy for my family. I won’t sell the remaining gourds. I will give the rest to you.”
“I...” Zhou Zhi's heart was trembling: "The guqin is naturally the 'Great Sage's legacy', and the stove is the Silong sea water, Xuande's ear ring foot, Xuande's towering ear, or Chongzhen's towering ear?"
"It doesn't matter to you. What should the old man keep? The rest..." Zhou Zhi swallowed: "I'm really afraid that I'm short of money."
