My system is not decent

Chapter 1580 Once in a thousand years, very rare

After carefully reading it from beginning to end, Chen Wenzhe has almost decided that the Sanqiu cup in his hand should be a genuine Chenghua product.

The identification of this kind of cup is difficult, it is really difficult!
Because you think it is true, many people just open their eyes and tell lies, saying it is false.

Because the ass determines the head, why should people speak for you?

However, it is really easy to say that it is easy to identify.

Ming Chenghua Doucai Sanqiu Cup is one of many Doucai cup shapes.

The characteristics are also very obvious, the glaze color is blue and gray, and the body is as thin as a cicada's wing. The cup is painted with two groups of doucai mountain stone flower patterns, with flying butterflies in between.

The purple color on the butterfly wings is the famous colorful purple color, which is characterized by thick and dull color, which is unique to Chenghua fighting color, and it is also unmatched by later imitations.

We all know why it is called the "Sanqiu Cup".

Such a picture itself is not easy to imitate.

Also, the firing process is more demanding.

Sanqiu Cup, Chicken Cup, Grape Pattern Cup, each cup is the crystallization of three times of calcination, and the cup body has a strong sense of hierarchy.

If you can get started and touch it with your hand, the picture on the cup is distinct.

In particular, the combination of doucai and blue and white is full of wit and wit, and it has a unique feel to the touch.

Finally, there is the inscription on the bottom of the Doucai blue and white cup. The strokes are thick, the font is fat, and there is strength in the softness.

Turn over the history of our China: Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty, and Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty.

These accomplished and wise monarchs have promoted the vigorous development of history.

At the same time, we also found some emperors who were politically incompetent but had high artistic attainments.

Li Yu of the Southern Tang Dynasty in the Five Dynasties, Huizong of the Northern Song Dynasty, and Xianzong of the Chenghua Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty.

Emperor Xianzong Zhu Jianshen of the Ming Dynasty was a weak and superstitious emperor who had no achievements in politics.

However, during the Chenghua period of his reign, the porcelain produced by the Jingzhen Imperial Kiln Factory showed remarkable artistic achievements.

my country has always been a feudal and centralized country. As the Emperor Xianzong who loves art, he can regard the government as a sponsor and guide of art.

He spared no expense, manpower and material resources to burn fine porcelain.

Therefore, in the history of ceramics in our country, a new model has been established.

In particular, the application of bucket color brings the underglaze color and overglaze color together to present the picture to the extreme.

It can be said that sketching and dyeing complement each other.

The fired Doucai porcelain enjoyed the highest praise at that time and later generations.

Even today, 500 years later, Chenghua Doucai porcelain is still recognized as the most elegant, rare and expensive porcelain.

It's a pity that such precious porcelain is very fancy for inheritance.

For example, a pair of Chenghua Doucai Sanqiu cups collected by the Forbidden City in Shendu was bought by the late patriotic collector Mr. Sun Yingzhou with 30 gold bars in the 20s.

He donated it to Shendu Palace Museum in the 60s after the founding of New China.

In the Wanwan Palace Museum, there is also a Chenghua Doucai Sanqiu cup in the same collection.

As far as is known, only these three have been found in the world, and their rarity can be imagined.

The one in Chen Wenzhe's hand did not know where it came from.

I'm afraid Wu Er can't figure it out, if there is a source, he would definitely not send it to Chen Wenzhe.

However, this must be a good thing.

Priceless treasure must be synonymous with things used by ancient emperors!

There is a saying in the Book of Songs: "Under the whole world, is there any king's land, and the shore of the land, is there any king's minister".

The ancient emperors were rich in the world, and their imperial possessions were always the most exquisite, valuable and luxurious in the world.

There are only three such Chenghua Doucai Sanqiu cups in the world, and they can even be said to be unique.

If Chen Wenzhe is real, can he be paired with the Wanwan one?
This is definitely the leader of porcelain, even in the Forbidden City, it can be called a priceless treasure, and it is also an important weapon of the country.

This is something that really comes from the royal family. It is made according to the royal use as the production standard, and no expense is spared, only for the effect.

To make one piece, the construction period is long, the standard is high, and the difficulty is great. It is very rare to see once in a thousand years!
For better artistic appreciation effect, the choice of blank material is also striving for perfection.

Chen Wenzhe could tell that it was fired from Jingzhen's special kaolin.

Jingzhen High Porcelain Clay has been famous all over the world since ancient times. It is non-renewable and non-recyclable. Nowadays, it is increasingly scarce due to long-term mining, and every inch of land is precious.

The super high-grade porcelain clay is white and delicate. After being fired into porcelain, the body is white and delicate, the white glaze is soft, and the inside and outside are the same.

The Sanqiu cup fired with super high-grade porcelain clay does not have the dazzling whiteness of ordinary cups, but exudes a warm luster like jade, and the cup body is light and transparent.

Such a cup, no matter whether you know porcelain or not, you can see the extraordinary at a glance.

The Ming Dynasty was the heyday of the development of colored porcelain in my country, and two new varieties of fighting color and five colors were created and fired.

The fighting colors are fresh and elegant, and the colors are thick and gorgeous, all of which are responsible for the beauty of the porcelain industry.

There is no blue color in the color materials of the Ming Dynasty, and blue and white are used instead of blue and white, which has become a unique feature of the times.

The reason why the "Emperor's Cup" is so thin and glazed is due to a special blue and white glaze, pearl material.

Pearl material, probably most people have never heard of it.

But many people may not know that this pearl calcination technique, which has been included in the list of intangible cultural heritage, is now only in the hands of a very small number of people.

Using this precious pearl material, combined with the complex ancient extraction process, picking, calcining, and grinding, can one be made.

Often the cups in a kiln are all defective after firing.

Like the top Sanqiu cup in Chen Wenzhe's hand, it is often fired hundreds of times before one can be obtained.

In the end, you will get a pair of treasures that are pure blue, not stagnant or astringent, and the glaze color naturally flows with ancient charm.

To make doucai porcelain, in order to make it more ancient, every small step is very important, such as the ratio of glaze water and the weight of painting techniques.

To make such a cup, from the beginning of material selection, mud refining, proportioning, casting, painting, firing...

After more than a hundred complicated detailed processes, if there is a slight difference in any link, the fired works will be quite different.

For example, only the trimming process includes 16 process details.

The difference in thickness of each green body must be less than 0.2 mm, and the difference in weight should be less than 3 grams.

Only with such almost strict artistic standards and technical difficulty can the wonderful charm of this Ming imperial porcelain be fired.

The firing process is also relatively demanding. Sanqiu cups and chicken pot cups must be fired at least 3 times to complete.

Even with modern technology and the top craftsmen in China, it is very rare for each kiln to produce 10% finished products of this level of porcelain.

Finally, after these finished products come out of the kiln, each work has to go through the hands of four or five people, and they are carefully selected one by one before they are considered qualified.
