golden escape

Words and pictures are the best carriers for spreading culture. Because of words, human beings have wisdom and the means to record wisdom. Because of pictures, human beings can know this without going to a certain place in person. Place, the shape of this object, because of the records of words and pictures, later generations can know and learn the splendid culture of China.

Calligraphy and painting works of art have always been the darlings of the world's art auction market, especially the works of Huaxia Calligraphy, which are items that Chinese people and even foreigners are rushing to buy.

It condenses the wisdom and civilization of a nation, enabling people to perceive the author's thoughts and the state of society at that time from the calligraphy and painting works.

"This... This is Master Qi Baishi's "Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains". It is a masterpiece, a masterpiece. During the war in the past, some leaders of small island countries, after learning of Master Qi's reputation, went to the door to ask for the painting, and they were rejected. Master Qi directly refused, and thanked the guests behind closed doors. Unexpectedly, these people from the small island country obtained Master Qi's paintings through other means, but unfortunately they did not have the opportunity to reach the small island country."

"Bada Shanren's ink painting of flowers and birds, Bada Shanren's paintings, the ink and wash freehand brushwork has reached a unique peak, with a few Liao Liao strokes, it can surpass countless brushes and inks of others, and the paintings highlight the kind of Bada Shanren. Aloofness, a masterpiece, a masterpiece..."

Each painting and calligraphy was taken out by the crowd for cleaning, and every painting and calligraphy attracted a lot of exclamation.

Seeing this, Mr. Chu cleaned up the calligraphy and painting works in the box with everyone. Unlike other antiques, this kind of paper and silk cultural relics will cause damage once they are contaminated with sea water, even if they are contaminated a little.

According to a rough count by everyone, there are a total of 350 paintings and calligraphy works in this large wooden box. The author of each piece is familiar to everyone, and each piece of work is a masterpiece, which can be called extremely precious.

There are even auction prices for many of the same calligraphy and painting works, which have reached tens of millions. It is hard for everyone to imagine that these are three boxes of cultural relics. How much wealth, a material and spiritual wealth, are these more than [-] boxes of cultural relics? .

Dozens of paintings were opened one after another, each of which made everyone fall into the artistic conception described by the calligraphy and painting, and they couldn't take into account that they were still shouldering the task of cleaning up the antiques. fine.

Finally, under the urging of Mr. Chu, they put away their continued appreciation and turned to the work of cleaning up and protecting cultural relics. These calligraphy and painting works were all wrapped in thick foam, and none of them entered the seawater They opened and checked dozens of sheets, but there was no damage, so they just took a look at the scroll, touched the paper, and put it in a dry place.

Next, for fear that the cultural relics in the boxes would be affected by the air, during the cleaning process, Mr. Chu only opened three or four boxes at a time, and would not open the next box until the cultural relics in these boxes were completely cleaned out.

Most of the cultural relics stored in these boxes belong to one type or one dynasty. For example, the jade wares cleaned by Mr. Li are basically small jade wares. There are about a thousand pieces in this whole big box. Jade pendants, pendants and other small jade artifacts of various dynasties.

In terms of value, this is really worth more than a box of gold. The meaning of these jade articles alone is more popular than pure gold.

Since ancient times, jade has been the property of a gentleman, while gold has been dubbed copper stink. This is the difference between some people love jade and some people like to hang gold chains.

These thirty or so boxes are not all the size of half a container, there are also a few boxes that are very small.

When opening a small rectangular wooden box, everyone couldn't help being a little excited, because just looking at the size of the box, they guessed that the box must contain a large utensil, which can be stored in a small box alone. The value of the utensils will not be small.

When they opened the box, they could see that the foam stuffed in this box was much thicker and denser than other boxes.

After taking out the foam stuffed inside, when they saw the beautiful porcelain lying in the box in front of them, the glaze color was as beautiful as the rain, everyone was stunned, and the shock in their hearts could not be expressed in words.

"Chu... Mr. Chu, is this really Ru kiln porcelain?" An old man looked at the huge porcelain in front of him, swallowed hard, and asked Mr. Chu beside him.

Elder Chu was also immersed in the shock of the Ru Kiln porcelain in front of him. When he heard the question from the people next to him, he suddenly came back to his senses, and said solemnly: "As for Ru Kiln, one of the five famous kilns in China, everyone must be familiar with it. It’s not unfamiliar, even if you haven’t played with it, you should have seen it in a museum.”

"The body of Ru kiln is fine and fine, and agate is used in the glaze. The glaze color is sky blue, pink green, and sky blue. The glaze surface is as pure as jade, with a clear feeling of butter. Touching it, it is as warm as silk cloth, like jade but not jade. , looking at it, there is a feeling of rain and sunshine..." Elder Chu slowly revealed some characteristics of Ru Kiln.

"As for this piece of porcelain, I can't speak without careful identification, but according to my many years of experience in antiques, this piece of porcelain is very unique. It should be the Ru kiln azure flowers and plants collected by a famous collector before liberation. Gooseneck vase with pattern, as for the porcelain itself, whether it is Ru Kiln of Song Dynasty still needs to be identified." Old Chu's solemn face concealed excitement.

It's not that he has never seen Ru kiln porcelain before. Fang You brought a piece of Ru kiln porcelain back from the small island country last time. He has seen it before, but he has never seen Ru Kiln as huge as a vase.

The Imperial Palace Museum has a piece of Ru kiln with sky blue glaze and string patterns, which can be said to be the largest among the existing Ru kilns. When the kiln was opened, the Ru kiln was in the shape of a bottle, a statue, a cup holder, a bowl, and a plate. , washing, dowry, and narcissus basins, most of the collections in major museums are small items such as plates, bowls, and washing.

As for pots, vases and other large utensils, they have never been seen in the world. He learned from some books that before liberation, a famous collector once collected a Ru kiln azure vase. On that day, the collector disappeared at home together with Ru Kiln, and there was no news of it.

If this piece of Ru kiln really belonged to that collector, it is enough to show that the small island nation did not hesitate to kill an innocent person in order to obtain this piece of porcelain.

"Mr. Chu, no matter whether this piece of porcelain is a real Song Dynasty Ru kiln or not, let's clean it first to prevent it from being oxidized by air intrusion." An old man controlled his inner excitement and said slowly.

If this gooseneck bottle is really a modern Ru kiln, then the value of this piece alone is enough to buy this luxury cruise ship. At an auction, there was once a Ru kiln brush washer that fetched [-] million Hong Kong dollars. The high price of this gooseneck bottle is about ten times the volume of the brush washer, and its exquisiteness is no less than that of the brush washer.

Although they had doubts, based on their own experience in antiques, everyone already regarded this piece of porcelain as a real Ru kiln.

Elder Chu nodded, and together with the others, carefully took out this piece of porcelain, and then carefully and gently cleaned up any possible water stains on it. While stroking the glazed surface of the porcelain, although they were wearing gloves, they You can still feel the smooth and extremely warm glazed surface.

At the same time of cleaning, everyone was also appraising the Ru kiln based on years of experience. At the bottom of the Ru kiln, they found traces of needles as small as sesame seeds. After the needle cushions the utensils to be fired, it is the trace of the needle left when it is fired in the kiln.

Also at the bottom, they also found the base inscription engraved with the word Fenghua, which also has a strong flavor of Song Dynasty characters. Fenghua is the name of a harem concubine in the Song Dynasty. For Concubine Liu, a palace was given, named Fenghua Palace. These Ru kiln porcelains engraved with the word "Fenghua" are all exclusive supplies of Fenghua Palace.

After careful observation, they found that all the characteristics of Ru kiln in their minds can be found on this porcelain.

Blue as the sky, face as jade, morning stars thin, caviar pattern, these few words, explain the unique features of the glaze color of Ru kiln, and they can also find it in the glaze color of its porcelain.

After cleaning up, Mr. Chu took off his glasses, put the magnifying glass in his arms, and looked at the crowd slowly, "Everyone, how is your appraisal?"

"Mr. Chu, this goose-neck vase of Ru kiln with blue flowers and grasses, no matter from the color of the body, the glaze surface, and the decoration on it, it is undoubtedly Ru kiln. Most of the Ru kilns we have seen have no decorations on them. There is only the glaze color that is like a sunny day after rain. The flower patterns engraved on it do not conceal the brilliance of the glaze color. On the contrary, the flower pattern decoration makes the glaze color even more amazing. It looks like the rain has passed and the sky clears, leaving a few raindrops behind, which is really wonderful." Several old people nodded slowly, and then said solemnly.

They feel that, just like the promotional words of Longyou Auction House, some of the previous cultural relics made them feel that their trip was worthwhile, but this piece of Ru Kiln porcelain made them feel that if they don't come, they will really come. Regret for life.

"Okay, let's put this piece of Ru kiln porcelain aside first, and clean up the cultural relics below. I think the next cultural relics will definitely bring us the same surprise." Elder Chu clapped his hands and put this cultural relic Carefully store it in the prepared box, then point to the remaining large wooden box and say.

Everyone looked at the Ru kiln porcelain with some reluctance, but after hearing what Elder Chu said, they turned their heads to look at the remaining wooden boxes with anticipation.

Looking at this piece of Ru kiln porcelain with azure glaze, Fang You sighed and smiled. Before opening the box, what he saw was a thick yellow aura. When he opened the box, he saw this piece of Ru kiln porcelain. , it has been confirmed that it is genuine.
