Chapter 1424 Naming Difference
“It’s really shameful. This discovery is Zhou Sang’s. At best, I can only do follow-up research.” Ono Heiji was a little frightened: “In any case, the first author of this first paper is also It’s you.”
“These are not important anymore.” Zhou Zhi said seriously: “Even if I discovered it, I wouldn’t have the energy to carry out the follow-up work. I have to leave everything to Mr. Ono.”
“I am the highest "I'm glad that I have made a new discovery about my country's ancient porcelain and clarified some misunderstandings." Zhou Zhi showed a satisfied smile: "There are many fragments in the country, and the composition analysis has been done more carefully. I will look for some research results after I return." Sent to you, Mr. Ono, please complete the research on this topic."
"That's for sure," Ono Heiji promised: "It's a lifetime of luck to be able to use national treasures as a research topic."
Hearing the word "national treasure", Zhou Zhi couldn't help but look a little sad, but these artifacts really cannot be defined by "plunder" or "robbery", because they were all passed down from China thousands of years ago and then regarded as such by the islanders. A national treasure, passed down from generation to generation to this day.
But on the land of China, it has not been able to be preserved due to various reasons, which has to be said to be a pity.
In fact, there are many similar things, such as the famous Shosoin Collection. More than 9,000 pieces of clothing, furniture, musical instruments, toys, weapons and other treasures are national treasures passed down by the emperor for thousands of years. Among them, they come from China. There are many collections of world-class unique treasures.
However, Ono Heiji seemed to have misunderstood Zhou Zhi's expression and said: "The six hand scrolls can be returned to China. Zhou Sang's contribution is also great. I still admire Zhou Sang very much."
"Haha, Ikeda Is the lady here? She should bring something here today.”
When Ikeda Qiu brought Mr. Ma over, Zhou Zhi was sleeping. When the two met, Mr. Ma shook his head and sighed: "When we first met, if you had told me that one day the sofa here would be upturned. If I were to take a nap on my feet, I wouldn’t believe it.”
This place. It is one of the holy places for lovers of ancient ceramics in the world. Zhou Zhi can be as casual here as at home, which indeed makes Mr. Ma envious: "I heard that you are also a thief, and you have made new discoveries when you come in?"
< br>"Hey hey hey..." There is no need for Zhou Zhi to be modest in front of Mr. Ma: " I used to think that the partridge-spotted lamp was unique to Jian Kiln, but I found that there was something wrong with the one here that was designated as the 'partridge-spotted Jian lamp'. After research, I found that the glaze base and the fetal bone have obvious characteristics of the Cizhou kiln mouth. . It’s the islanders who have preconceived ideas for hundreds of thousands of years.”
“Things are here. Where is it? Can I take a look? "
Mr. Ma also showed his face when the beast head returned to the Old Summer Palace. Now he is also a relatively famous collector in China. Xiaoye seems to know him and wants to Wanting to listen to their opinions, everyone went to the storage room together to take out the tea cup and study it.
Similarly, the thickly patinated base of the tea cup first attracted Mr. Ma’s attention. He rubbed the base of the tea cup. Even a master like Mr. Ma was a little confused: “This is indeed a bit different from building a kiln, but It's not very similar to Ding Kiln, I really need to find something similar... I Why does it feel more like the inner tube of Cizhou kiln? "
"To be precise, it is more like the base of red and green porcelain of Cizhou kiln." Zhou Zhi added: "The aesthetics is inherited from Tang Sancai, but Sancai is pottery. The tire was heated to 1,300 degrees by the Cizhou kiln. It has become a porcelain body.”
“What’s wrong with the color?” Mr. Ma still felt a little strange: “It also feels thicker than the Cizhou kiln.”
“Cizhou kiln is not very fine, mainly because of the makeup on the bottom. The glaze looks thin. "Zhou Zhi said: "But it is true that it is thinner than this. This one is made with coarse quartz and iron ore powder to imitate the kiln body, so it appears darker when fired."
"Are there some irons that have exploded and become rusty?"
"Yes. The small pit on the fetal foot should be left by the blast iron."
"Zhou Sang, Mr. Ma, what do you mean by... thin posts?" Ono Heiji saw the two of them chatting. While chatting, they started talking about "black talk" and quickly reminded them that there was also a Chinese Erduidao sitting here. "Explosive iron particles are small iron beads of reduced iron formed on the surface of soil with a high iron content during the firing process." Zhou Zhi patiently explained: "This is originally a flaw on the artifact, but After being handed down from generation to generation for a long time, these iron beads will be reborn The oxidation rusts away, leaving small pits. These small pits are just like the openings of Ru kiln and Ge kiln in the Song Dynasty, becoming an aesthetic feature and anti-counterfeiting feature.”
"Understood." Ono Heiji nodded.
After looking at the bottom foot, Mr. Ma nodded: "Indeed, apart from the formula adjustment and coating factors, this bottom foot has obvious characteristics of the northern kiln entrance. It is a very beautiful small cup... The glaze color does not consider the small silver As for the spots, the characteristics of the piebald stone glaze are also very obvious.”
"It's a pity that the diffraction light of the oil film cannot be imitated, otherwise it would be really difficult to master the unique skill of building a kiln." Zhou Zhi said: "The piebald stone glaze on this tea cup does not look as dark as that on the typical Cizhou kiln. Firstly, It lacks the white glaze background of Cizhou kiln and the reflection of these small silver spots. "
“But Mr. Ma, I have a doubt. There are many Cizhou kiln utensils in our country. Have we not found oil drop lamps, rabbit hair lamps, or similar utensils?”
“ Hahaha..." Mr. Ma smiled and said, "It's really amazing to say that this question is No one had paid attention to it before.”
“After getting the reminder from you, we did a simple search in the country and found that there are similar collections in several museums,” Ma Ye said. Similar collections have been found in the National Museum of China and the museums in Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong and Henan provinces. br>
“And judging from the clues found, most of these types of lamps and bowls come from Cizhou Observation Tower. However, compared with this one, the shape is mostly extravagant, and the carcass is thin, full of glaze, and bound. In terms of craftsmanship, the slow wheel was re-applied after glazing, and the feet were scraped and trimmed.”
This is all newly arrived information. Ono Heiji quickly took out a pen and paper to record, "It seems that we should also conduct a domestic inspection of artifacts."
"In our country, we tend to treat this newly discovered The type of porcelain is called 'Guantai Kiln', what about you?" Mr. Ma asked Xiaoye.
“We prefer to name it ‘Northern Eyes’.” Ono said.
Everyone laughed.
This is also an interesting question. The two countries have different naming systems for the same porcelain. For example, the island country calls the Jian Kiln tea cup with small circles and dots "Tianmu", while China More literally known as "spots".
For example, the celestial eye is not regarded as the most expensive in ancient Chinese books, but the stripes are as fine as rabbit hairs, and those with a halo of celestial beings around the hair are considered the best, and are called "different hairs";
And in the island country The Yaobian Celestial Eye and the Oil Drop Celestial Eye are called oil drop spots and partridge spots in ancient Chinese books.
Zhou Zhi estimates that the greater possibility is that the real unique lamps from the Song Dynasty are simply not available to people from the island countries.
In ancient Chinese books, there are dozens of types of glaze patterns on jianzhan. However, except for a limited number of kinds, the islanders looked down on others, such as black gold, rabbit hair, gold, gilt, and mixed colors, and introduced very few.
The differences in civilizational backgrounds and aesthetic tastes between the two countries are also an interesting issue.
