Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 246 Seal
In the kitchen cupboard, the second brother brought out a lot of cups, plates and bowls one by one, and handed them to Zhou Zhi, who put them in the big wooden basin beside the open dam and looked at them one by one.

This is what Zhou Zhi commissioned the second brother to do, to replace the old porcelain with new porcelain in the surrounding villages.

It is not limited to porcelain, any old objects are fine.

Jiachuan began to be established in the Western Han Dynasty. There are many Han tombs, cliff tombs, and stone cave tombs in this area.

In addition, there are many ancient tombs with kang chambers called "Shengji" in Jiachuan, from the masonry shapes of Tang and Song tombs to the tombs inherited from Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Most of these tombs were destroyed by robbery, and many of them were used for "waste utilization" by the surrounding villagers. It is not surprising that the bricks of the tombs were used to pad cowsheds and house foundations, and the tomb stones were used to build pigpens and open pig troughs.

Many of the old porcelain in the villagers' homes, such as oil lamp stands, dishes and rice bowls, were even dug up by the ancestors one day and passed down.

Today's Jiachuan is still in a period when no one cares about cultural relics and antiques. It is very cost-effective to exchange a set of fine porcelain bowls for an old vase and old fish plate.

Zhou Zhi began to carefully study these porcelains and classify them.

Many of the utensils are bright utensils at a glance. The standard Han tomb burial figurines record the folk life of the Han Dynasty - pottery warehouses, kitchens, halls, pottery pigpens, pottery dancing figurines, drumming figurines, horses, pigs, cattle, etc. object.

These things can't be kept, and when the time comes, they will be taken to the godfather for reimbursement, which can be regarded as an addition to the cultural museum's collection.

Another category is folk kiln porcelain after the Song Dynasty, mainly lime glaze, green glaze, soy sauce glaze, and a small amount of green glaze with gray or white pottery as the base.

In addition to food utensils, these utensils also have a lot of strange flower wild rice, vases, throwing pots, holding pots, and ancient utensils such as water injection, washing, and pen holders in the study.

Then there are blue and white and glazed red porcelain, which are styles after Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Many porcelains still bear inscriptions, a pair of official kilns, "Ming Dynasty Xuande year system", "Great Qing Kangxi year system", "Great Qing Qianlong year system", but they are basically imitations fired in the late Qing Dynasty or even the Republic of China .

"Why so much?" Seeing that the second brother was still moving out, Zhou Zhixian couldn't bear it anymore: "Is there so much money I gave you?"

"The ones you gave have already been used up, but people are still sending them here because they can't stand it. They all said that they will put the things here. When the buyers come to see and want them, they will change them. If they have seen them, they will return them. "

This is because he really didn't take these items seriously. Zhou Zhi saw that there were even copper-nickel hookahs, ovens and other things inside: "Second brother can't do this, I'll take a look now, but don't make an example."

"Put things here, and there is no price. When people say that we have changed them for him, it will be impossible to wash them by jumping into the Yellow River."

"This is indeed my negligence, we can't do this next time."

Generally speaking, everything is good. Even if it is an imitation of the Ming and Qing official kilns fired in the Republic of China, the price will be tens of thousands in 20 years. Now you can exchange it with a new set of small porcelain bowls, which is almost a few dollars. It looks like a dollar, so it's not a loss.

The things are roughly divided into three parts. Those Ming wares before the Han and Tang Dynasties were used to enrich the collection of the cultural museum; the single-color porcelains from the Song Dynasty to Qing Qianlong were also collected, but the high-quality goods belonged to themselves; as for those after Qianlong, It's not worth it to pay the price of a set of bowls, so the price has to be suppressed, Zhou Zhi thinks it's almost enough to exchange four for one.

Cultural relics appreciation is a broad and profound knowledge, and now is the best time to learn it.

In the future, the cost of learning will become unattainable, and there will be more opportunities for poor learning and getting slapped in the face.

The fourth cousin is the best teacher. Almost all of gold, stone, jade, porcelain, calligraphy, painting and miscellaneous items are at the expert level, but Zhou Zhi feels that his energy is really limited, and he only wanted to learn more about porcelain identification.

But there are a lot of good things that can't stand today. Although I don't want to, there is a tendency to gradually transform into miscellaneous items.

For example, among this batch of utensils, there is a yellow seal and a brown-black pen holder with cow hair patterns.

When Zhou Zhi saw the pen holder, his heart beat faster. The material of this thing was seen at the fourth cousin's house, so it can be concluded that it is a very precious rhino horn pen holder.

And that stamp is warm and delicate, the color is like orange peel, bright and transparent, at first Zhou Zhi thought it was a big piece of Burmese.

Amber is very brittle, and it is not a material for making seals at all. This also made Zhou Zhi feel suspicious. It was not until he picked up the seal that he realized that he had made a mistake in his judgment.

Amber is very light, almost like plastic, and the weight of this small chapter is obviously stone.

The seal is as red as blood amber, with extremely fine texture, just like the big radish in the main room, with some small and straight cotton lines in the translucence, the whole is dense and jade-like.

The whole seal is like a weight, with leather on the top, which is also like the color of beeswax after oxidation. The lock on the top of the leather should be a flaw, but it is carved into a bunch of knotted ropes.

On the leather under the button, along the strands of flowers, a picture of the artistic conception of "Yun Wuxin came out of Xiu, the bird was tired and flew back" in Tao Yuanming's "Return to Come" was engraved, and two small seal script characters were left in the picture. "Qian'an".

From one third to the bottom, the three sides are perfect frozen ingredients, smooth and delicate in the hands, and the feel is really similar to blood amber.

On the only side with skin left, the stone skin is also artistically processed with the technique of "retaining greenness" of bamboo carving, and a poem is fully carved.

The night is clear and dustless, and the moonlight is like silver.When the wine is poured, it must be full of ten.Floating fame and profit, vain and hard work.There is a horse in a sigh, a fire in a stone, and a body in a dream.

Although holding the article, who will kiss the opening.And Tao Tao, happy to be naive.When to go home, be an idler.To a piano, a pot of wine, a stream of clouds.

The font and words are very familiar. The word is Su Dongpo's "Xingxiangzi Shuhuai", and the font is the font of Su Dongpo's favorite student Huang Tingjian.

The printed text at the bottom is five Hanzhang seal characters.

"What's that word?" Wei Fei asked.

"A line of poetry, or a proverb—morality is closer to each other."

"good stuff?"

"I don't know, but it must have been written after the Song Dynasty, because this poem was written by Su Shi, and the printing materials at that time advocated turquoise such as Fengmenqing of Qingtian stone and moxa leaf green of Shoushan stone, so this seal was mostly advocating yellow during the Ming and Qing dynasties. something."

"It's quite big, it must be about [-] taels, right?" Wei Fei took it and turned it upside down: "It looks like a ball of waxed honey, no matter when it is, it will look good on your desk."

At this time, the fifth uncle came out: "Is it enough to see these? Throw them here first, come here, let's start the feast!"

Wei Fei threw the seal into the wooden basin: "That's right, the sky is big and the earth is big, and the meal is the biggest. Although I ate late, it couldn't stand the car bumping all the way, and it was all knocked down."

"This classmate is right." The fifth uncle said with a smile: "But I didn't say the whole thing. There is no banquet without wine. Let's drink first and then eat!"
