Chapter 104: Cosmetics existed in the Song Dynasty?
In Lin Yuan's live broadcast room, the audience was talking a lot. Everyone was not a fool and had their own thoughts. They cited examples of fake Western culture.
"Brothers, remember to like it. We are short of toothpaste, so you might as well support domestic products. If it is not easy to use, don't buy it next time, and the loss will not be big..." Lin Yuan did not forget to advertise.
Yang Mengmeng told him that their daily orders have been stable at around 70,000 to 80,000 orders recently.
Although it has dropped a bit from the first two or three days, it is much better than before. Now, they plan to take back a production workshop and expand production scale.
Lin Yuan didn't know that the local government had found Yang Mengmeng's grandfather two days ago to support the development of local enterprises and let them take back a building they had given up before at a very low price.
The local government has also spent a lot of money for economic development.
no way! Now that the economy is down, it's very difficult for them. It is rare to see a local enterprise come back to life, so we must support it and give it full support.
In fact, the government wanted Yang Mengmeng's grandfather to take back the original factory area, which would remain empty anyway.
They only hope that this company can recruit more workers and solve local employment problems.
However, Yang Mengmeng's grandfather still chose to be conservative and took too big steps, which could easily lead to problems. They have suffered this kind of loss before.
The audience in Lin Yuan's live broadcast room also liked Lin Yuan's approach. He didn't bring goods, but just hung them.
So everyone gave me a lot of face.
As Lin Yuan said, it’s just one or two toothpastes, how much is it worth? Just skip a meal, or even just pay for a cup of milk tea, just support domestic products.
"Two hundred red envelopes will be distributed to everyone later, each with a value of 500 yuan. Everyone should actively participate!" Lin Yuan added.
This wave of benefits is another 100,000 yuan.
Someone has calculated that for every live broadcast, Lin Yuan gives everyone close to 100,000 yuan in benefits. This is purely a money-losing live broadcast!
You know, Lin Yuan didn't bring goods, he just advertised and took some advertising fees, but donated them all.
Although some people were paying for gifts during the live broadcast, they definitely did not receive 100,000 yuan.
What everyone is waiting for is Lin Yuan's welfare.
With 200 red envelopes, they still have hope.
Besides, many people are waiting for a place to travel abroad, and that is the real grand prize.
With that said, Lin Yuan came to an uncle and asked, "Can I take a look?"
The uncle didn't like to talk much and didn't say anything, just nodded.
have to! Another person who is prejudiced against Asians. This was not the expression he had when he was chatting with other people just now.
Lin Yuan picked up a porcelain plate.
This is a piece of Guangcai porcelain.
Guangcai is the abbreviation of the overglaze colored porcelain art in Guangzhou. It began in the late Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. It stood out under the influence of various colored porcelain arts such as three colors, five colors, doucai, pastels and enamel colors. It flourished in Qianlong and Jiaqing. It has been passed down to this day.
It is estimated that many people do not know this, and even people in Guangdong and Guangxi may be hearing it for the first time.
When it comes to porcelain, the first thing everyone thinks of is Jiangxi, and Jingdezhen is so famous.
The development of "Guangcai" porcelain art mainly benefits from the conditions of Guangdong as a foreign trade port. Guangcai is exported to Western Europe and is appreciated by royal families, nobles and other upper-class people in various countries. It has become a must-have porcelain for decoration and daily use. .
Products are commonly found in Western European royal palaces and museums. Their shapes and decorations are mostly made in the Western style, and they have a strong flavor of Western culture and art. But the decoration content is full of Chinese characteristics, including flowers, landscapes, realistic courtyard scenes, and even figures in Qing Dynasty costumes.
In fact, the masters, pigments and plain porcelain of Guangcai porcelain all come from Jingdezhen. They are processed according to the patterns or samples of Jingdezhen colored porcelain. The characteristics of Guangcai are not obvious. There are very few real objects handed down in China. Even if you see them, you will not think they are genuine. Guangcai.
It absorbs the traditional five-color, pastel, and enamel techniques and materials into Guangcai. It is certain that the two have mutual influence, but the differences are also obvious.
"Sell it?" Lin Yuan asked.
"Take it if you want $50,000." Seeing that it was an Asian, the man was not polite and opened his mouth.
He got this piece of porcelain from his Chinese tenant. When he checked out of the lease, he kept this thing. He actually didn't know how much it was worth.
"Too high..." Lin Yuan was about to bargain.
The face of the man in front of him turned dark and he said: "If you can't afford it, don't ask."
Lin Yuan: "..."
The old uncle takes action.
After talking for a while, we finally wanted $30,000.
The old uncle looked at Lin Yuan and asked Lin Yuan's opinion.
Lin Yuan pointed to another item on the stall: "Including that item, thirty thousand dollars is fine. Otherwise, let's go!"
It's just a piece of Guangcai porcelain, not worthy of his spending too much energy on it. According to the value standards of treasure hunting instruments, this glorious porcelain plate only costs $60,000.
Lin Yuan's real goal is not this porcelain plate.
Please...you...Collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠ(Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\!)
The old uncle talked to the guy again.
After getting the things and leaving there, the old uncle started cursing.
"Uncle, calm down and make money! You're not shabby." Henry said with a smile.
The old uncle asked Lin Yuan: "How much is this plate worth?"
If it wasn't worth much, the anger just now would have been in vain.
"About 60,000 US dollars!"
As soon as these words came out, not only the old uncle was different, but also Henry and the others were surprised.
Logically speaking, this kind of "little gadget" is not worth Lin Yuan's action.
Lin Yuan reached out and took out another item. It was also a piece of porcelain, but it was just a palm-sized box with no exquisite patterns. It was just plain porcelain.
People who don't know the art will feel that this thing is not very valuable at first glance, and it cannot be said to be a treasure.
"What? Is this the most valuable thing?" The old uncle understood.
Based on my nephew's urinary characteristics, it is entirely possible.
Lin Yuan nodded: "This is an official kiln porcelain from the Song Dynasty. It should be for cosmetics."
Old uncle: "..."
Henry was also stunned: "Cosmetics existed in the Song Dynasty?"
He didn't know much about the Song Dynasty, but he also knew that the Song Dynasty was nearly a thousand years ago! Did Chinese women use cosmetics a thousand years ago?
Lin Yuan opened the lid of the box.
As you can see, there are three small boxes stuck inside the box.
Lin Yuan told everyone that this is an ancient mother-in-law box, which contains powder, ink and vermilion for women to use when putting on makeup.
"It's not surprising. Human beings have been using cosmetics for a long time. This was called cosmetics in ancient times."
The emergence of "dowry boxes" can be traced back to the Western Zhou Dynasty. It was popular during the Qin and Han Dynasties. Most of them were lacquerware dowry boxes, which could only be enjoyed by famous nobles. Because both men and women grew their hair in ancient times, men and women generally had a set of cosmetic boxes.
After the Jin and Tang Dynasties, dowry gradually evolved in function and became a fashion item in the boudoir of upper-class women.
After the changes in the Tang and Song Dynasties, dowry items entered the civilian society of the Song Dynasty. While people pursued the exquisiteness of utensils, they also paid more attention to their practicality.
