Chapter 373 Qin Quan Pot

Everyone knows that the earliest unification of weights and measures was in the Qin Dynasty.

At that time, in order to unify the standard of weight, Qin Shihuang cast a batch of scales as the official standard weight, which is what people call Qin Quan.

These Qin Quan are simple in shape and majestic, and to a large extent show the domineering and authority of the Qin Dynasty to rule the world and unify weights and measures, so they are deeply loved by some literati, so that in thousands of years of traditional culture, Qin Quan has been Become a symbol that often appears in various fields, for example, it can often be seen in some Bogu patterns.

However, what makes Qin Quan known to the world is the purple sand pot, especially the Qin Quan pot made of black purple clay. The color, shape, and demeanor perfectly show the meaning represented by Qin Quan.

So far, Qinquan teapot has become one of the most recognizable teapot shapes among countless teapot shapes.

Of course, the shape of Qin Quan's pot is not static. The size and shape can be adjusted according to personal preferences and needs. After all, Qin Quan is just a weight. It is good to show the domineering and simple temperament.

The Qinquan teapot that Tang Xianhai used to make tea is a relatively different square Qinquan teapot. Uh, to be precise, it should be in a trapezoidal shape. Of course it is not a standard trapezoidal shape, because the shoulder of the pot is curved. Yes, this small change has given the domineering Qin Quan Hu a little more softness, making it look more beautiful and calm.

Of course, with this small change, it can already be regarded as another pot shape, a combination of square pot and Qin Quan pot.

Anyway, at the realm of Tang Xianhai, he is fully qualified to do so, and it is effective, making this pot combine the advantages of square pot and Qin Quan pot, making it more enjoyable to watch and better in bearing, otherwise Tang Xianhai Nor would it be used for hospitality.

As for the old Qin Quan pot that Xu Jingxing held in his hand, it was a standard round Qin Quan pot with a solid shape, like a big weight when placed there, but it was quite light in his hand, not as heavy as a heavy one. The visual sense formed a sharp contrast, and when he picked it up, he was even flickered.

But as soon as he got it in his hand, he frowned, because there was no spiritual energy in the pot.

According to the normal situation, an old purple sand pot should have some spiritual energy in it, but there is really no such thing as this pot.What's happening here?Someone sucked it?Or it wasn't there.

If it was the former, then he had to be more careful; if it was the latter, Tang Xianhai could only have misjudged and mistook a new pot for an old one.

But he thinks it should be the latter, because the former is really unbelievable. It is unimaginable that a strange guy like him appears in this world. If another one pops up, won't the world be in chaos?What's more, even if there is another person who can absorb the aura in the antique, the possibility of the two of them intersecting is not high.

In other words, 90.00% of the time it might be the latter—Tang Xianhai made an eye shot.

Thinking of this, he felt a little funny, Tang Xianhai is an expert in playing with purple clay, a majestic provincial master of arts and crafts, the name of the purple clay was born in Yangxian, and he missed his eyes on a purple clay teapot.

It's just that Tang Xianhai didn't ask him to identify the old and new of this pot, but asked him to judge the level of this pot.

Therefore, he just frowned slightly, then focused his attention on the Qin Quan pot, held it in his hand and looked it up and down for a moment, coughed, and then said, "Mr. Tang, what do you say about this pot?" Well, the craftsmanship is still very good, but the inside of this pot is a bit awkward."

"Riko?"

"Oh, it's temperament," Xu Jingxing explained: "I do sculpture, and I habitually divide a sculpture into two parts, the face and the inside. The face is the factors that can be seen with the naked eye, such as shape, workmanship and so on. Rigid conditions; the lining is those factors that need to be experienced with heart, such as the tolerance, charm, and temperament we often talk about."

Tang Xianhai was stunned, and then frowned again, "You mean that the author of this pot has good craftsmanship, but poor background. Is that what you mean?"

"Yes, like a skilled painter, but he is only good at technology, but his works have no soul, imagination and creativity are very poor, there is nothing in the painting that he wants to express, just for the sake of painting. Draw a picture, the picture you draw is the same as the copied work..."

When Xu Jingxing said this, he suddenly slapped his thigh, "I know something is wrong with this pot, this pot is an imitation pot," he said, pointing to a line of words engraved on the body of the pot, "Look at this word, 'Why? Pinquan, called Qinquan, Jihaixia May Pengnian', has a title and style, and the writing is not bad, but, to be honest, this word does not match this pot at all."

"Why not?" Tang Xianhai's eyes brightened even more.

Xu Jingxing shifted his gaze to Yu Zecheng's face, "Mr. Yu is a master of calligraphy. You should know that a real master of calligraphy is very good at layout, how much space there is to write and how big a character is, and the spacing between characters, line spacing, font structure and trend are all very particular. ,Right?"

Yu Zecheng nodded again and again, "Yes, very particular."

"However, the words on this pot look awkward no matter how you look at it. The engraving of individual characters is not bad, but if you look closely, you will find that the position of the first character on the first line is messed up. The word "He" is a bit lower, so that the three characters below can only be compacted, so that the second line can only be written compactly, but in order to make up for this defect, the four characters in the second line The spacing of the text is a little more even, and it looks a little better, and finally the signature, which is at the bottom left, with a smaller font size, makes this flaw even less obvious."

"Although it's not obvious, it's still noticeable when you look closely," Xu Jingxing said as he stretched out his hand to cover the first eight characters, only showing the inscription for Tang Xianhai to see. "Isn't it normal for you to read the inscription alone?" After Tang Xianhai nodded, Slowly move the palm to the right, revealing the eight characters little by little. When the first line of characters is revealed, the sudden gap is obvious.

"Now, do you see what the problem is?"

"I don't understand..." Tang Xianhai frowned, "There will be deviations in anyone's work. Although I am not good at calligraphy, I can write a few strokes. If I write on paper, I may write in the wrong place, not to mention It is engraving on the purple clay teapot, this kind of situation should be very common."

"That's right, this kind of situation is very common, but, Mr. Tang, what would you do if you made such a mistake in the process of making the pot?"
