My system is not decent

Chapter 973
The magnificent pattern of flowers in white Satsuma porcelain is really impossible for ordinary hand-painted craftsmen.

Chen Wenzhe knew from a little calculation that this level of decorative painting requires more than 20 years of hand-painting skills to be perfectly drawn.

Considering their huge cost of hand-made, compared with European hand-painted porcelain, [-] yuan a piece, it can be said that the cost performance is very high.

Works like this full of flowers have been out of stock all year round, so this Nanyang collector is very happy and proud to be able to buy them and keep them at home.

After listening for a while, Chen Wenzhe realized that it was no wonder that the white Satsumas he collected here were so magnificent.

It turns out that not all white Satsuma have gorgeous and gorgeous patterns, but the more complex and more patterns, the more expensive the price.

The price of this kind of porcelain is mainly determined by the amount of painting required for each work.

It’s just that there are no hundred-day red flowers. From the late Edo period to the Meiji and Taisho eras, Satsuma-yaki became popular. The Showa era was the peak period of Satsuma-yaki.

Even during World War II, his works were exported all over the world.

But now, Mosaicaki is no longer acceptable, otherwise this is another kind of thousand-year-old national treasure or something.

Of course, Chen Wenzhe definitely couldn't say such things.

After all, you are a guest at someone else's house, so you can't slap him in the face here, right?

It just so happened that the language was not clear, so Chen Wenzhe didn't have to flatter this great collector.

It's just that as the translator kept whispering in his ear, Chen Wenzhe really felt a little funny.

It is such a kind of porcelain that is not valued in neon, but in the mouth of this South Vietnamese, and even in the mouth of all South Vietnamese, it has become a priceless treasure.

Chen Wenzhe couldn't help saying, why is it a treasure of price?

Because there are various patterns on the neon ceramics in his collection.

Such an answer made Chen Wenzhe puzzled. Is this also one of the reasons?
Of course, on some neon Satsuma ceramics, it seems to be covered with 3D relief patterns, and has a variety of colors, which looks vivid and harmonious.

However, there are many such porcelains in China!

To make any porcelain, there is a craft of carving, right?

There are also top-level ones, such as hollowed-out swivel bottles!
There is nothing strange about these crafts.

But in South Vietnam today, such works are very popular.

After learning about this batch of ancient neon pottery, many local collectors came to visit them one after another, saying that they are already priceless treasures.

Indeed, this batch of collections looks really beautiful, and ordinary people can't afford them at all.

But a group of South Vietnamese local tyrants who got rich first must be able to afford it.

Therefore, after visiting these works, Chen Wenzhe also had the idea of ​​making a batch of mossas.

Anyway, the craftsmanship is ready-made, and whether it is Neon or Nanyue, when making porcelain, they will more or less use porcelain stones and glazes imported from China, which is more convenient for Chen Wenzhe to imitate.

Having been in South Vietnam for a long time, Chen Wenzhe is like a fish in water when he came into contact with the antique collection circle in South Vietnam.

After seeing exotic customs, no, it should be exotic culture and skills, he learned a lot.

Of course, the windfall was even greater.

If you can gain some top-level skills by visiting other people's collections, then the more people you know, the more opportunities to pick up the missing ones.

For example, in some ancient books of South Vietnam, you must know that before the Qing Dynasty, that is, before France invaded and colonized South Vietnam, the characters used in South Vietnam had always been Chinese characters.

Therefore, the slightly older South Vietnamese ancient books are all recorded in Chinese characters.

Up to now, some ordinary domestic tourists can miss some ancient books in South Vietnam, because they know the characters on the ancient books and know what the contents of the ancient books are, which allows them to identify whether they are valuable, but the South Vietnamese people do not. Can.

South Vietnam was deeply influenced by Chinese culture in ancient times, but it changed direction in modern times.

After South Vietnam switched from Chinese characters to Roman characters, there were gaps in many cultures.

So now the South Vietnamese.Even if there are important cultural relics at hand, it is difficult to know their important value.

Because many cultural relics are of Han culture, they don't know them, or they don't know them very well.

To some extent, this is also a hole dug for yourself.

It is a pity that so many treasures are buried or even lost.

Therefore, Chen Wenzhe found another collection category.

This afternoon, Chen Wenzhe was walking on a street in Huming City, with old book stalls everywhere on both sides.

Many ancient books can be found here, not only domestic ones, but also foreign ones.

Therefore, it also attracts many tourists who are interested in history and culture.

It's different now, when there were few competitors.

Now, domestic tourists are Chen Wenzhe's biggest competitors.

Chen Wenzhe is no stranger to ancient classics, especially after he paid attention to the rhyme of the Ministry of Rites.

It's a pity that there is no chance in China, but in South Vietnam, maybe we can still catch the tail of a little chance.

Now South Vietnam's economy has just developed, and some special hobbies have not yet been cultivated. This is an opportunity for foreigners.

This is like the United States, Japan, Hong Kong and Taiwan, etc. went to the country to search for antiques in the 90s, almost the same situation.

Chen Wenzhe is still very curious about the ancient books of South Vietnam, so after walking into the street, he carefully searched every second-hand bookstore here.

Since it is a used bookstore, there are naturally many used books.

It's just that most of them are modern old books, which Chen Wenzhe couldn't understand.

The ones he can't understand are naturally not ancient books, so it's better to choose this way.

In this way, looking at each house, sometimes you can find some old books, but they are of little value.

Also, many of the old books here are also published in modern times, but they are just old things.

Originally full of enthusiasm, he felt that he was going to miss a large number of ancient books, but he didn't expect to start looking for them, only to find that things were not as he imagined.

Have all the ancient books here been looted?

Why don't you keep some?Chen Wenzhe didn't give up, so he could only continue to search.

Huangtian paid off, and searched for several hours, but unexpectedly got something.

However, this time it was not an ancient book at all, it seemed to be a manuscript copied by someone else in modern times.

The moment he picked up the book, Chen Wenzhe felt a little cold. He could tell at a glance that it couldn't be an ancient book.

It seems that it has a history of [-] to [-] years at most. The paper is slightly yellowed, and it is still written in pen. How long can the history be?
Originally, he wanted to put it down, but he glanced at it casually, and Chen Wenzhe realized that this is actually a historical record?
Does South Vietnam still have historical records handed down from China?This is relatively fresh!

Picking up this book and reading it carefully, the text is generally understandable. This seems to be the history of the Nguyen Dynasty, not the domestic historical records!
