Chapter 457 Eternal Lantern and Immortal Medicine (28)

After tonight, Mo Liming and Tang Yan will follow Lin Chenhui and Huo Xiaolong to appraise the batch of Song Dynasty porcelain. Regarding this, Mo Liming and the others don't know the specific situation, and they don't know what Lin Chenhui and the others are looking for. Where is the buyer, but they don't need to worry, just follow Lin Chenhui and the others tomorrow, and everything will be clear by then.

In this line of business, Mo Liming and Tang Yan will naturally take Zheng Xinfang with them. This playful little girl, she has already stayed. Since she agreed to Zheng Xinfang's parents, Mo Liming and the others have no choice but to take good care of each other. It's gone, so that the little girl won't wander around and encounter some bad guys and bad things on the way like this afternoon.

"Liming, why do you think Ru kiln porcelain is so valuable?"

In the guest room, Tang Yan couldn't help but asked Mo Liming.

Mo Liming smiled and said: "Ru kiln is the first of the five famous kilns in the Song Dynasty. Its products are exquisitely crafted, and related artifacts that survive are rare, so they are extremely rare and precious!"

"Well, that's true." Tang Yan nodded solemnly and said, "But what is Ru Kiln? Why is it called Ru Kiln? What historical facts does it have?"

She asked three big questions in a row. To be honest, Mo Liming didn't know anything about her questions. He only knew that Ru kiln porcelain had become a myth in the antique market, and its value was immeasurable. , as the old saying goes, "Worth ten thousand is not as good as a piece of porcelain kiln", from this we can see its high value.

To a certain extent, Ru Kiln can be regarded as a national treasure, a priceless treasure.

"Well, Xiaoyan," Mo Liming said seriously, "the ancient Ruzhou was also called Linru, so the word 'Ru' in Ru Kiln came from here, right? As for what historical records you asked about it? stuff, I don’t know much about it.”

He was telling the truth, and he wasn't afraid that Tang Yan would laugh at him. Tang Yan nodded with a smile after hearing this, and she didn't say anything more.

The "Ru Kiln Porcelain" mentioned by Mo Liming and Tang Yan just now has become a hot topic in the collection circle in recent years.

The so-called "Ru kiln" actually refers to the official kiln (also known as Ru official kiln) in the late Northern Song Dynasty. The location of the kiln was unknown for a long time.

In the winter of 1986, archaeologists found related specimens and kiln furniture in Qingliangsi Village, Daying Town, Baofeng County, Hen Province, and determined that the kiln site was located in this village.

Ru kiln products are characterized by light azure glaze, mostly with fine lines and flakes.

The firing method is "full glaze branch firing", which was an extremely advanced firing method at that time.

The firing period of Ru kiln was very short, about ten years from the first year of Yuanyou (1086) of Song Zhezong in the late Northern Song Dynasty to the fifth year of Chongning (1106) of Song Huizong.

According to historical records, at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Southern Song Dynasty, Ru kiln porcelain was already a treasure.So far, the authentic Ru kiln has been extremely rare, with less than 70 pieces in the world, mainly distributed in the National Palace Museum in Taipei, BJ Palace Museum, Shanghai Museum, the British Museum in the UK, David Foundation and other places.

Most of the utensils seen are plates, bowls, washers, lamps, etc. There are also imitation bronze wares such as halberd statues and dome-shaped furnaces, which are heavy national treasures.

So far, it is not difficult for us to imagine that Ru kiln porcelain is indeed a priceless treasure, and it is definitely not something that people can get at their fingertips.

In the current collection market, there are quite a few Ru kiln porcelains that appear at every turn, and the words are convincing and affectionate, but they are actually "Arabian Nights", which is not at all credible.

To understand this principle, to some extent, is more important than how to identify Ru kilns in terms of "professionalism".
Naturally, Mo Liming and Tang Yan are not very clear about these professional information. This time, Mo Liming said that he came here to appraise a batch of porcelain for Lin Chenhui and the others, but in fact he came to see and see the legendary Ru kiln. Porcelain and other high-quality porcelain from the five major official kilns in the Song Dynasty are also eye-opening.

As for Tang Yan, she came here for a trip, because she had a lot of trouble with her parents not long ago, and she was very depressed because of this, so she just wanted to go out and relax.

That night, both of them slept soundly, and got up early the next morning.

After washing up, Mo Liming and Tang Yan ran to meet Lin Chenhui and the others, and they called Zheng Xinfang.

A few of them had breakfast in the restaurant of the hotel, and Mo Liming and Tang Yan were very happy, because soon the two of them will follow Lin Chenhui and Huo Xiaolong to inspect the batch of porcelain from the Song Dynasty, which is naturally a great thing Yes, they were excited about it.

"Brother Mo, let's go to the nearby urban area to see things later."

Suddenly, Lin Chenhui said to Mo Liming solemnly.

"Oh, to the nearby urban area? Where is it?"

As soon as he said this, Mo Liming and Tang Yan were shocked. It turned out that the thing they were going to appraise was not in Ruzhou City, but in another city, just a nearby city.

Lin Chenhui nodded and said, "Yes. It's in Baofeng County, PDS City. You should have heard of this place, right?"

"Baofeng County?" Mo Liming asked in surprise, he searched for relevant information in his mind, and finally, he finally remembered that there seemed to be a tourist attraction called "Qingliang Temple" in Baofeng County, Henan Province.

"Yes, it's Baofeng County." Lin Chenhui said with a smile, "We'll go to Qingliang Temple after we get there. The place is not far from here, and it only takes an hour or two to drive there."

"Qingliangsi Village?" Mo Liming asked back.

Lin Chenhui nodded and replied, "Exactly. Brother Mo, have you been to this place before?"

Mo Liming nodded and said, "I've been there once before."

"That must be a great harvest, right?" Lin Chenhui said curiously, "That's where the ruins of the Ru Kiln are. Have you ever touched the Ru Kiln porcelain?"

Mo Liming shook his head hurriedly and said: "No. Ru Kiln porcelain is not an ordinary thing, how can it be so easy to find it? Treasure hunting is such a thing, opportunities are rare!"

"Well, brother Mo, you are so right!" Lin Chenhui nodded quickly and said, "Ru kiln porcelain is a big mystery in the antique market, and it might take hundreds of dollars to get any Ru kiln porcelain, right? !"

Mo Liming nodded vigorously and said, "Well, yes. It's hard to find."

Lin Chenhui said that the ruins of Ru Kiln were located in the area of ​​Qingliang Temple. As for this, Mo Liming had heard a little about it and knew about it.

It is said that finding the ruins of Ru Kiln used to be a difficult problem in the archaeological field, because this famous kiln in the Song Dynasty was buried with the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty. After the Jin soldiers went south, the Song Dynasty moved its capital to Lin'an, which is today's Northern Song Dynasty. , Who cares about a porcelain kiln mouth? Over time, the place will be abandoned, and as time goes by, it will become obsolete and hard to find.

It is said that after the emperors moved south, what they missed the most was the old "Ru kiln celadon", and they were unable to burn it anymore. This treasure became the "royal fragrance" in the eyes of everyone, always lingering in the emperor's dream ...

Over the past hundred years, archaeologists have searched for the kiln site of Ru porcelain, but "there are nowhere to be seen"!
But who would have expected that in the middle of the 80s, there was a small village in Ruzhou, Henan that almost no one knew about——Qingliangsi Village, but it was shocked overnight. The mysterious pale green light of Ru kiln celadon, From a hen coop on a farm here somewhere on a rainy afternoon, inadvertently and implausibly burst out.

In the mid-80s, at the entrance of this small village, a purple sand factory was established to produce purple sand handicrafts.

There is a very scheming farmer engineer in the factory. It is said that he has suspected for a long time that there is some connection between this place and the Dasong Ru Kiln, so he often travels from village to household by himself.

On this day, he was walking alone in the countryside in the drizzle, and accidentally found a porcelain plate in front of a farmer's chicken coop.

The faint blue color immediately caught his attention, it was so rare and so alluring.

Of course, in those days, only a caring person like him felt that this plate was unusual.

So, he stopped... Anyway, he bought it...

Could this be the legendary Ruguan Porcelain?He was not sure. He heard that the country held an annual ceramics meeting in a big city in the north. This gentleman packed his plate and went there at his own expense.

After many twists and turns, it is said that he had the opportunity to meet a certain expert when the conference was about to end. When he carefully took out the porcelain plate from his arms, all the people present were stunned in an instant. People can hardly believe their eyes.

Ouch, the treasure that has been broken through the iron shoes and can't be found is so peacefully displayed in front of everyone. The owner is a farmer who is too ordinary.

The senior expert wrote in the article afterwards: When he saw this light blue porcelain, he instantly felt a sense of weightlessness...

If someone were to describe this kind of feeling today, it would be called dizzy food!
Therefore, all over the world, whether they are archaeologists or collectors, all of a sudden they cast their fiery eyes on this:
China—HEN Province—Baofeng County—Daying Town—Qingliangsi Village…

Mo Liming just said that he had been to Qingliangsi Village, the ruins of Ru Kiln, and that was what he said casually, in order to make Lin Chenhui and the others believe him even more.

Regarding this, Lin Chenhui and the others had no objection. If Mo Liming said that he had been there, he must have been there.

It seemed that they were about to visit the Ru Kiln ruins to see the relevant situation in person. Mo Liming and the others were naturally very interested, and they also wanted to see with their own eyes, to see what kind of scenic spot the Ru Kiln ruins were.

After breakfast, Lin Chenhui and the others took Mo Liming and the others into two taxis, and then headed straight to Baofeng County, so they could go to Qingliangsi Village to appraise the batch of things.
