Jianbao life

Chapter 302 Liu Sizhe Got Eyes

For the next few days, Chu Chen was either studying high school courses, or trying to study the materials and notes collected by the ancestors from the master. Together, the annual National Day was lively and lively, and it can be said that life is happy and fulfilling.

On the second day of National Day, Chu Chen greeted his family and drove to Yuhuating.

Some time ago, Mr. Liu accidentally caught a cold, and he has been refusing to get better. Coupled with his age, his mental state is very poor.

Seeing this, the family was very nervous, and urged Mr. Liu to go to the hospital for treatment. After all, the older generation like Mr. Liu is the pillar of the family. It can be said that his physical condition is related to the political status of the family. If something goes wrong , For the whole family, it was a big blow.

However, Mr. Liu is also stubborn. He thinks that he just has a minor ailment like a cold, and it will be fine if he takes some medicine. He refuses to go to the hospital desperately. The doctor can only be invited to the home for treatment.

And under such circumstances, Chu Chen didn't dare to mention Liu Sizhe's cousin's matter to Mr. Liu. If the matter aggravated the master's condition, then his crime would be serious.

In this way, the day before yesterday, after treatment, Mr. Liu's cold was almost getting better, which made his family and Chu Chen all heave a sigh of relief.

As Liu Qinshu came to the living room, Chu Chen found that Liu Sizhe was there, and at this time he was accepting Liu Lao's reprimand with his head down.

Seeing this situation, Chu Chen also reacted, no wonder just now that Sister Shu's expression was a little weird, probably because of this matter.

After Chu Chen came in, he greeted the two of them first, and then asked, "Master, how is your body?"
"Achen, here you come." Elder Liu said with a smile: "My body has recovered today, and I have punched a few times today, so it is completely fine."

Chu Chen said quickly after hearing the words: "Master, you are just recovering from a serious illness, it is more important to rest, and the exercise should not be too intense."

Mr. Liu waved his hand and said, "What serious illness is it? It's just a small cold. It's okay. I know my body well. Well, let's not talk about it. You should take a look at this thing." As he spoke, he pointed to a blue and white pot on the table.

Seeing the embarrassing expression on Liu Sizhe's face, Chu Chen knew that he should have bought the blue and white pot, and judging from Mr. Liu's reprimand just now, the blue and white pot was probably a fake, but Chu Chen turned his attention to When it was in the blue and white pot, it couldn't help but let out a soft "Huh".

This blue and white pot has a straight mouth, short neck, full shoulders, flat round belly, and ring feet.The body of the vessel is painted with blue and white lotus ponds, which depicts the lotus pond in midsummer, with rolling waves, blooming lotus flowers, green lotus leaves, water plants in between, shaking fragrance, and colorful butterflies flying in the air.

Finally, the six-character two-line regular script "Daming Chenghua Annual System" is written inside the blue and white double circle on the outer bottom.

At first glance, this vessel can be described as exquisite and exquisite. The glaze is fine and crystal clear, the color materials are selected and pure, the color is soft and quiet, and the painting is elegant and graceful. It reveals a light and elegant artistic style, which is exactly the same as the style of Chenghua blue and white porcelain. .

And this is also the root cause of Chu Chen's soft "Huh" before, because this blue and white jar, at first glance, does not look like a fake at all, which made him extremely curious, so he quickly took out a high-power magnifying glass to observe carefully .

The Chenghua dynasty of Emperor Xianzong of the Ming Dynasty lasted only 23 years, but the essence of Yongxuan was inherited in the firing of porcelain, but it changed the vigorous and bold style of the Yongle Xuande period, and was determined to innovate. The outstanding feature of its vessels is exquisite and beautiful , Duanqiao workmanship, later generations evaluate it quite highly.

Chenghua blue and white can be divided into two categories: one is made in the early years of Chenghua, which is similar to Xuande blue and white in all aspects, especially the imported Suma Liqing, which is more difficult to distinguish from Xuande blue and white.

The other type is characterized by thin body, white glaze, and elegant blue color. It is the representative of Chenghua blue and white. , The painting is regular, the brushwork is beautiful, the density is good, the lines are beautiful and natural, giving people a fresh and pleasing, elegant and refined feeling, and is highly praised by the world.It is also similar to the later Hongzhi blue and white, so there is a saying that "Chenghong does not distinguish".

"Bamboo Garden Tao Shuo" commented: "Cheng kiln paintbrush is unique in ancient and modern times, and Gai Danqing puts his heart and energy on the porcelain, so he can write as thin as a hair, use green as ink, and paint with ink. Each of them is perfect." .

Shen Defu of the Ming Dynasty wrote in "The Leftovers of My Broom Xuan" that "Xuan kiln is the most expensive product, and recently it has been rebuilt into a kiln, which is above Xuan kiln".

Xu Zhiheng's "Yinliuzhai Talking about Porcelain" commented: "Chenghua is colorful, the blue and white are extremely exquisite, the blue and white blue penetrates into the glaze bone, and the brush is old and horizontal, so Kangxi should be discouraged."

But it is a pity that this unique green material was cut off because of a bloody struggle between porcelain workers and employers during the Jiajing period. "Jiangxi Dazhi Taoshu" said: "The old Potang greens are produced in the Leping side of the prefecture. In Jiajing, Leping was killed and then plugged."

The blue-and-white pot in front of me, judging from its blue-and-white hair color performance, it should be the equal green material used. The hair color is soft and elegant, and the color is very stable and calm, quite in the style of water and black painting.

But if you take a closer look, you can see the flaws in it, because if it is a real equal green material, it must be blue with grayish gray, but the color of the green material on this device only shows blue, not blue. Ash.Moreover, the glaze surface of the real product is plump and has a jade-like feel to it, while the glaze of this jar is plump and moist, but it has not reached the point of jade-like texture.

However, apart from these two differences, other places are basically the same as Pingqing material, which made Chu Chen admire the forger's superb skills.

After carefully looking at it for a while, Chu Chen put the blue and white pot back on the table, and sighed: "It's really a great high-quality imitation porcelain! If I didn't know it was a fake just now, I might have punched my eyes! "

Hearing what Chu Chen said, Liu Sizhe glanced at Chu Chen gratefully.

"Achen, don't let this little bastard get away with it." Old Liu scolded with a smile: "I know that the level of imitation of this blue and white pot is indeed very high. He was greedy, and this matter could have been avoided at all.”

"What's going on?" Chu Chen asked curiously.

"Ask him!" Elder Liu pouted at Liu Sizhe angrily.

"This..." Liu Sizhe scratched his head, and said with some embarrassment: "The day before yesterday, I went to a friend's house to play. My friend's father also likes to play with porcelain. I bought this one for 80 a while ago. The blue-and-white pot, but the result of the appraisal is not good, some people say it is genuine, and some people say it is a fake."

"At that time, I saw that the blue-and-white jar really didn't look like a fake, so I got it from him at a price of 80."

Although what Liu Sizhe said was a bit evasive, Chu Chen still somewhat understands his thoughts. You must know that if a blue and white pot like this one from the Chenghua period is genuine, the market value should be around 300 million, so if you buy it for 80 , can be said to have picked up a big leak.It can be said that Liu Sizhe's mentality is exactly the same as when he bought the tri-colored camel from Tang Dynasty.

Mr. Liu shook his head and said, "You! I've always told you that you should avoid being greedy when playing antiques. You've been slapped so many times because of this. Why don't you have a long memory!"

Liu Sizhe said with a sneer: "Didn't I be confused by the fetus in the blue and white pot at the time? Look at this blue and white pot, the fetus is pure and smooth, the carcass is light and thin, and it looks tooth white or flesh red when viewed under the light, like fat. Like milk, shiny and smooth, these are the typical characteristics of Chenghua kiln."

To say that Liu Sizhe was right, but Mr. Liu became furious when he heard the words, pointed at his nose and cursed: "Little bastard, I'm really going to be so mad at you, you've been learning from me for so long Now, don’t you know what a plain embryo is?”

The so-called plain embryo refers to the white pottery blank. Porcelain is called pottery embryo or plain embryo before it is glazed. It is made of kaolin and has a very light luster.Generally, in ancient kilns, there will be more or less ancient plain embryos handed down.

And some counterfeiters will use these plain embryos to make fakes, which can confuse people, especially the fakes made by some very skilled counterfeiters, which have attracted some experts.This kind of thing is not uncommon in the antique industry.

Although Liu Sizhe was very afraid of his grandfather, he still had some vision. Seeing that his grandfather was really angry, he quickly stepped forward to admit his mistake, and with the persuasion of Chu Chen and Liu Qinshu next to him, after a while, Mr. Liu The gas is almost gone.

Mr. Liu shook his head, and said angrily: "You, it is really rotten wood that cannot be carved. Since you saw the tire, then you didn't pay attention to the inscription?"

"Knowledge?" Liu Sizhe scratched his head, picked up the blue and white pot again and looked it over carefully, after a while, his face turned blue and then turned pale, and he was so ashamed that he felt ashamed.

The inscriptions written in the Chenghua period are tall and powerful, as if they were written by one person, and are generally "made in the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty".Its specific characteristics are that the character "Da" has a pointed round head and a high head, the character "Cheng" is hard until the waist, the character "Zhi" has a large top and a small bottom, and the character "Yi" does not cross the knife (the traditional Chinese character of Zhi).

As for the inscription on this blue and white pot, although the first few characters are basically the same as the real Chenghua inscription, but I don’t know if the forger was not careful or what, but the horizontal line of the word "clothes" has crossed the knife, although it is not It's too obvious, but if such a situation is real, it is impossible to happen.

Liu Laoyu said to Liu Sizhe earnestly: "Now you know, you are just too careless. If you had been more careful before, this eyeball would never have been your turn. You have to learn from Ah Chen on this point." !"
