Chapter 970
From the end of the [-]th century, the interest of South Vietnamese potters gradually turned to overglaze decoration.

Red, green, and yellow colors are used to decorate utensils together with blue and white, or just for glaze decoration.

South Vietnamese potters in the [-]th century were more enthusiastic about decorative stacking.

Although the output of ceramics is high, the quality is increasingly worrying.

In 1567, the first year of Longqing, the government of the Ming Dynasty lifted the sea ban, and "trafficked in the East and West."

Afterwards, Jingzhen's products flooded into overseas markets in large numbers, with unrivaled high quality and exquisite workmanship.

In this way, Nanyue ceramics, together with many other kilns, faded out of the international market, including the traditional Southeast Asian market of Nanyue.

Due to the change of Ming and Qing dynasties, which affected the Huaxia kiln industry, the ceramic industry in South Vietnam continued until the end of the seventeenth century.

In 1683, the [-]nd year of Kangxi, the Qing Dynasty regained Wanwan.

In the following year, the ban was lifted, and domestic ceramics regained their previous dominance.

Since then, South Vietnamese ceramics have disappeared from the international market.

In the past few hundred years, the manufacture of porcelain in South Vietnam can not be said to have experienced three ups and downs, and it is not much different.

After all, the market is doing okay now, and it just happened to let Chen Wenzhe get involved.

If possible, he might be able to take advantage of the favorable location here to directly launch his white porcelain and celadon to the market as soon as possible.

I have to say that if political status is not considered, the geographical location of South Vietnam is really good.

Here, as long as the country is stable and the external environment is okay, it will develop immediately.

This is also an important reason for the rapid development of South Vietnam in recent years.

It's a pity that small countries often do things involuntarily, so they can't grasp their own advantages, and eventually all efforts will be turned into nothing.

All plans were advanced in an orderly manner. Chen Wenzhe was free every day, wandering around the antique markets in major cities in South Vietnam.

In the process, he also met many people, two of whom were special.

Before, Chen Wenzhe thought that there were no collectors in Nanyue.

Now he knows that he is narrow-minded. There are still quite a few people collecting in Nanyue, and some of them have even made great achievements.

For example, a person he met recently, he collected more than [-] porcelain plates in [-] years!
This is not unusual, the most unusual thing is that this man worried that his collection would be stolen, so he put all these porcelains on the wall!

Chen Wenzhe naturally wants to see such a strange person, among other things, he wants to see the fine porcelain of various dynasties in South Vietnam.

Learn from the strengths of many families, not just talk.

Imagine that in just one house, there are more than [-] South Vietnamese antique porcelains. Even if most of them are of little value, they are still very valuable to Chen Wenzhe.

Not to mention anything else, just going back all these things, how many historical materials of South Vietnam can Chen Wenzhe get?

Not to mention anything else, but the firing of ancient porcelain, he should know better than all the South Vietnamese, right?

When you encounter this kind of opportunity, it is naturally not to be missed.

Therefore, when Chen Wenzhe saw the room full of porcelain, Chen Wenzhe was almost stunned!

This kind of operation, he never thought of it!

What is the first step in buying a new house?
It must be decoration, but no matter how it is designed, after seeing the house full of blue and white porcelain on the inside and outside walls, you will feel that your house is ordinary and exactly the same.

How unique is this house?This collector actually used 1 porcelain bowls, plates and jars to decorate his house!
His name is Ruan Wen, and he is very fond of porcelain and antiques.

This person is almost sixty years old, although he is much older than Chen Wenzhe, he is definitely a wonderful person.

After getting to know him, Chen Wenzhe realized that there are really many places to buy and sell porcelain in South Vietnam.

This Nguyen Van is a living map, and it was through him that Chen Wenzhe purchased a large number of porcelains from various periods in South Vietnam.

Because of the time spent in contact, Chen Wenzhe has a better understanding of Ruan Wen.

Nguyen Van collected antique porcelain for the first time in 1986, when he had just returned to his hometown after being discharged from the army.

He worked as a carpenter and had the opportunity to paint a local antique collector's table and chairs.

It was this collector who first introduced him to the beauty of traditional porcelain plates.

Nguyen Van was so impressed that he decided to become a collector himself.

He couldn't afford to collect South Vietnamese antique woodware, so he could only choose porcelain in the end.

He traveled all the northern provinces of South Vietnam looking for traditional porcelain and spent all his money trying to buy as much of it as possible.

But Nguyen Van's obsession with porcelain made it hard for his family to accept.

Especially when he spends all his money on china and then borrows more money from neighbors, relatives and friends to buy new antique china.

Every time he heard that someone was selling porcelain, he would bring all his collections to the door.

That is to say, every time he goes out, he puts his collection of porcelain in his backpack for several weeks, sometimes even months.

He traveled all over the country, and the porcelain he collected followed him quickly.

Because he is worried that these collections will be stolen or damaged at home.

He even considered that if he passed away, his porcelain might be sold by his family, a situation he could not face.

So, to make sure his collection would stand the test of time, he decided to incorporate all of his collection into his home.

He thought the only way to preserve these antiques was to mount them on the walls.

So one night, he started mixing some plaster and taped some of his china bowls to the walls of the house.

Only after seeing Nguyen Van's house can we really know how spectacular the house covered with nearly 1 porcelain plates, bowls and jars is.

Chen Wenzhe also saw photos of this unique house on the Internet, and only then did he know that there was such a strange person.

It's just that although the house is very beautiful, there are only a few collections dating back to the 17th and 18th centuries, and most of the other collections are relatively cheap.

However, Mr. Nguyen Van does not care how much his porcelain is worth. What he wants is to preserve the cultural heritage of his country.

This point is as pure as Chen Wenzhe, even more pure than Chen Wenzhe.

Because Chen Wenzhe not only wants to preserve the history and culture of his own country, but also wants to preserve the history and culture of other countries.

Nguyen, who has outlasted him to secure his estate, has told his children that they cannot sell or demolish the house after his death.

They can live in it, or continue to collect antique china and build the house.

Such persistence is still very admirable.

In fact, such things are not uncommon. Coincidentally, there is such a porcelain house in China, and the construction is more spectacular than this set of South Vietnamese houses.
