In the Yuan Dynasty, the firing of blue and white porcelain began to mature, and the production and sales flourished.

However, there are not many Yuan blue and white porcelain unearthed in my country.

Utensils such as pots are even rarer.

Therefore, this blue and white Yunlong jar is extremely precious.

The discovery of the first Yunlong Jar was just a surprise.

Apparently, before the disaster struck, someone stole a large jar with something hidden in it.

Therefore, this is not the cellar that Chen Wenzhe knew about.

At that time, with the discovery of this large pot, they continued along the canal, hundreds of meters west, and they found another ruin.

In ancient times, it was the most prosperous urban area in this area.

On the east side of the street, there is a huge architectural ruins.

On the north side of an alley is the original site of the manufacturing temple here.

After discovering the ruins of the temple, it is easier to find another cellar.

After seven, eight hundred years, the cellar has actually begun to be exposed because it has been flooded.

Don't think it's a desert, so it won't rain

Maybe it was a heavy rain in the rainy season, which washed the cellar open.

It was along this gap that when the foundation was dug to a depth of one meter, an unusual thing happened.

A team member went down with a shovel, and a vertical hole appeared.

The team members found that there was actually a batch of porcelain inside, a lot of porcelain, not a few large boxes piled up in a small cellar as imagined.

However, not many porcelains could be found at that time, and there were only 11 pieces in total, including six pieces of blue and white porcelain.

There are a pair of blue-and-white underglaze and red appliquéd glazed jars, a pair of blue-and-white octagonal vases with sea-water dragon patterns, a blue-and-white octagonal jade pot spring bottle, and a blue-and-white octagonal holding pot.

Five other pieces of porcelain: a white-glazed dragon-pattern dish, a white-glazed lotus-petal wine cup, three gold-colored sapphire-glazed cups, a sapphire-blue-glazed gold-colored wine cup, and a sapphire-blue-glazed gold-colored plate.

In addition, there are two pieces of turquoise hills, one painted glass bottle, and dozens of pieces of jade.

Seeing so many blue and white porcelains, Gao Qijing knew that the mission was safe.

Batches of Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain were found, what is it not a cellar?
What's more, these utensils are elegant and dignified in shape, rich in decoration, exquisite in craftsmanship, and have extremely high value. They can be called the best of Yuan porcelain and are very precious.

One of the most precious pieces should be the Yuan blue-and-white underglaze red appliqué open-cover jar.

Jars of this style have also been found in other domestic cellars.

Even so, this is the only two-element blue and white underglaze red appliqué open lid jar found in China.

We all know that there are very few Yuan blue and white flowers in the world.

According to incomplete statistics, collectors and archaeologists around the world currently only have three or four hundred Yuan blue and white porcelain pieces that can be recognized. These Yuan blue and white porcelain pieces are naturally extremely precious.

Among them, the representative boutique Yuan blue and white has a conservative valuation of over [-] million yuan.

As for such precious Yuan blue and white porcelain, after two excavations, Gao Qijing and the others found six or seven pieces.

These are all small heads. The largest discovery, they found [-] pieces. Of course, these are blue and white porcelains from the Yuan Dynasty.

When it comes to the most precious and rare Yuan blue and white, let me talk about a regrettable and sad thing first.

We know that there are very few Yuan blue and white flowers in the world now, and there are only three or four hundred pieces in the world.

What's more, the most regrettable thing is that a considerable part of Yuan blue and white exists overseas.

Such as Iraq, Turkey, England, France, Ugly, Neon and other countries.

In particular, the Topka Museum of Turkey and the National Museum of Iraq have the most collections, with 40 pieces for the former and 32 pieces for the latter.

There are so few Yuan blue and white flowers in the world, isn't this number amazing?
In my country, there are about 120 collections of Yuan blue and white.

There are not many of them in any museum.

Of course, there is also a special museum, and his house also has a dozen of them.

It can be said that if Chen Wenzhe's discovery this time is exposed, his museum will replace that museum and become the number one collection of Yuan blue and white porcelain in China and the third place in the world.

There were only 120 pieces in total in China, and nearly one-tenth of them are collected in that museum, which is the Yuan Blue and White Museum in Gao'an, Xijiang.

This is the world's first museum named after Yuan blue and white flowers. There are 19 pieces of blue and white flowers in this museum!

The Yuan blue and white flowers collected by major museums in my country rank first and third in the world.

In other words, it is second only to the collections of the Topka Museum and the Iraqi National Museum.

Tracing back to the source, why are there so many blue and white porcelains in this museum?
First of all, let's start with the long history and geographical environment of Xijiang Gao'an.

Gao'an City is located in the northwest of Xijiang Province. As early as 2000 years ago, during the reign of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, Gao'an City had been established as a county.

As we all know, Xijiang has always been famous for its porcelain industry, especially Jingzhen, which is the capital of porcelain.

Gao'an is not far from Jingzhen, and the natural ceramic culture is also very popular, so it is not uncommon to find porcelain in Gao'an.

This discovery can be regarded as a sensation in the world.

But this time, it was a wine cellar.

The excavation site of these blue and white national treasures is an ordinary residential area in Gao'an City.

It used to be the former site of Xijiang No. [-] Electric Machinery Factory.

On the afternoon of November 1980, 11, Liu Yuhei, then director of the Gaoan County Museum, received an emergency call.

Eight migrant workers in the motor factory.A crypt was discovered during construction, containing a large quantity of porcelain.

The curator immediately reported to his superiors and immediately organized archaeologists to carry out rescue excavations.

This discovery caused a sensation, and it was eight migrant workers who discovered the national treasure.

After the archaeologists and scholars arrived at the scene, they saw the surrounding residents cleaning up the scene, and the crowd talked a lot.

There are eight migrant workers wielding tools in an underground earthen kiln, doing their best.

Seeing this scene, Liu Yu almost fainted with black eyes.

He hurriedly said loudly: "I am the curator of the museum, the underground cultural relics are owned by the state, please stop the construction."

Subsequently, the archaeological team entered the scene and started rescue excavation against the clock.

After excavation, it is a circular cellar, about 1.6 meters deep from the ground and about 2 meters in diameter.

Large jars are placed on the surface of the cellar, and when the large jar is opened, many small items are placed inside.

At that time, there were six baskets of cultural relics cleaned up, a total of 199 pieces of porcelain, 6 pieces of copper and iron, a total of 245 pieces.

Later, after careful comparison and research by experts, it was found that the unearthed porcelains were of high specifications, mainly from the kiln mouth of Jingzhen, as well as artifacts from Longquan Kiln, Jun Kiln, and Cizhou Kiln.

Appraised by experts from the State Administration of Cultural Heritage, there are many cultural relics at all levels.

These hoarded porcelains are rare at home and abroad in terms of quantity, quality, shape, and vessel type.

Among the porcelain unearthed in the cellar, there are some vessels that can only be used by the royal family.

Among them, 19 pieces of Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain are the most amazing.

The 19 yuan blue and white, including many types, and there are several porcelains from kilns.
