My identity as a collector was exposed by the village flower

Chapter 114 Bionic Porcelain Inkstone Drop

A day later, several well-known people in the painting and calligraphy circles came to Yunwu Village. They will be the tutors of the painting and calligraphy interest class.

Fang Xing offered them a lot of salary, and promised to help them improve their reputation.

The leader is a woman named Wang Suqin, who is proficient in calligraphy and painting at the same time. She is the general teacher who leads the calligraphy and painting interest class, with an annual salary of 100 million.

According to Fang Xing's understanding, this Wang Suqin was once the vice president of the Provincial Calligraphy Association.

However, he couldn't stand the rampant ugly calligraphy in the Calligraphy Association, so he voluntarily withdrew from the Calligraphy Association.She is good at a variety of calligraphy fonts, and she is the most famous among these people.

"Sister Qin, I will hand over the painting and calligraphy interest class to you from now on.

In addition, our calligraphy and painting studio will be established soon, so you have to worry about it. "

It is said to be a studio, but it is actually a back-shaped building, with pavilions, gardens, rockery fountains, etc., and the design is not bad.Wang Suqin has also seen the design drawings.

That is why she is willing to come here to coach.

"Okay, leave it to me. By the way, when are you talking about setting up a calligraphy and painting exhibition website?" Wang Suqin asked.

In order to keep pace with the development of the times, Fang Xing talked with Wang Suqin about building a website to specially exhibit these calligraphy and painting works, and at the same time carry online quotations, auctions and other services.

At that time, there will be many famous experts on this website, and it will become famous.

Mr. Zhao, as well as the curators of the major museums, helped a lot and contacted many celebrities for Fang Xing.

"Don't worry, I have asked a professional team to build this website, and it will be put into trial operation in a week. I hope to make it a domestic professional online exhibition and trading platform for calligraphy and painting works.

Our interest class students and teachers must actively participate in it. This is an opportunity. "Fang Xing said.

Modern calligraphy and painting collections are slowly becoming popular.

In the previous calligraphy and painting collections, most of them were wealthy capitalists, etc., and the definition of everyone in the previous calligraphy and painting collections was the life of the rich.

Today, the collection of calligraphy and painting has become the mass consumption of the mass consumption, which is aimed at the general public and families. It is the foundation of the calligraphy and painting market and contains huge consumption potential.

With the improvement of people's economic level, the pursuit of spiritual life is gradually increasing. Some young and middle-aged writers in the growth stage are still very good, with excellent strength and moderate price, which is a good choice for mass consumption.

This is what Fang Xing values, so he decided to create such a website platform to further keep up with the development of the times.

In this regard, Wang Suqin also deeply agrees.In the calligraphy and painting interest classes in the future, everyone will take the popular route instead of the high-end boutique route.

"That's good, that's good!" Wang Suqin felt that this website would carry the hopes of many young painters and calligraphers.

After all, if you take the high-end route, how many people can take the lead?Very few, very difficult.

But the public route is different.

Afterwards, Wang Suqin hoped that Fang Xing could make a work for each calligraphy and painting interest class and hang it in the classroom to inspire the students.

Fang Xing didn't refuse, he wrote a letter, took out a painting he copied earlier, and handed it to Wang Suqin to frame it.This time, there is also a master craftsman who is very professional in framing.

"Your set of study treasures is really good. It's a pity to use up this ancient ink." Wang Suqin couldn't help but said.

In my heart, I was somewhat envious.

The writing table is said to be made of huanghuali wood. It is an object from the Ming Dynasty and is worth tens of millions!
And the set of study treasures on the table, including brushes, paperweights, inkstone drops, pen holders, inkstones, etc., are all treasures, all of which are high-quality goods.

This is the first time she has seen this kind of ostentation.

For calligraphers and painters, it is lucky to have three or two antique study treasures, let alone Fang Xing, if you just pick out one, it is worth millions.

It seems that this boss is really not simple, he is not only a carver, calligrapher, painter, but also a great collector!

She has also heard a little about the Fang family's collection. Their collection can be opened as a museum.With this amount of collections, how many people can’t be found in the whole country?
Seeing Wang Suqin looking at the inkstone again, Fang Xing smiled and said: "This inkstone, if you like it, I will pass it on to you."

Didn't say send it directly, it can be regarded as respect for Wang Suqin.Besides, it's not good to just give away millions of treasures.I don't know, I thought you had bad intentions!
There are also names for inkstone drop, water drop, book drop, toad note, etc. Generally speaking, the one with a mouth is called "Shuizhu", and the one without a mouth is called "Shuicheng".

Archeology has found that as early as the Han Dynasty, the ancients had mastered the method of using the principle of air pressure to control the amount of dripping water.Some inkstone drops unearthed from Han tombs have a long tubular plug that runs through the top and bottom and has a small hole on the top.

From the structural point of view, all inkstones have three things in common: first, the body is small and the abdomen is hollow, which can hold water; There is a round hole on the back that communicates with the abdomen, and there is a raised tubular organ on the round hole.

The appearance of inkstone drops should not be later than the Han Dynasty. It was first made of copper, and later changed to pottery, porcelain, jade, stone and other materials. Its style and material have been innovated in successive dynasties.

When Wang Suqin heard this, she was overjoyed.

"Can you really transfer it to me?"

"Hehe! Take it! This is something from the Qing Dynasty. The pastel lotus inkstone is a high-quality product. It can sell for a little over 100 million in the market, so just give me 100 million." Fang Xing said.

Inkstones of the Qing Dynasty are exquisite in workmanship and rich in styles, competing for splendor.The themes include figures, animals, melons and fruits, etc. The glaze colors include sacrificial blue, sauce glaze, green glaze, pastel, etc., and the materials include copper, porcelain, wood, jade, purple sand, etc.

The one on Fang Xing's desk was not something that ordinary people could use even in the Qing Dynasty.Its owner is either a relative of the emperor or a wealthy official.

Therefore, the value of more than 100 million is not too much.

Wang Suqin obviously also knew some market conditions, knowing that she took advantage of the 100 million yuan.

"Then it will be disrespectful, thank you, thank you!" She picked up the inkstone and played with it lovingly.

Fang Xing smiled, and took out a bionic porcelain inkstone drop that looked like a bamboo shoot.

Biomimetic porcelain refers to porcelain made by imitating different objects such as creatures and utensils in real life. It can imitate humans, animals and plants, utensils and even tools.

It is based on the appearance of the imitated object, or its material or skin texture, with the highest goal of being lifelike and false.

This kind of porcelain was the most popular during the Qianlong period. In addition to porcelain sculptures, there are also imitation bronze ware, lacquer ware, marble pattern boxes, wood pattern boxes, woven gold brocade, and brocade leather letters, etc., all of which can reach the level of authenticity.

Seeing this, Wang Suqin's eyes straightened.

How many fine inkstones do you have at home?Why do you feel like you can't see the bottom line?

I just took one from you, and added this, it is no worse than the pastel lotus inkstone she took away just now, both are treasures worth more than one million.

Liu Shijun smiled and said: "Don't be dumbfounded, he has so many treasures, I have been looking at them for so long, and I still feel that they are unfathomable!"

After speaking, he picked up the bionic porcelain inkstone that looked like a winter bamboo shoot, looked at it for a while, and liked it very much.

"How about giving it to me?" This sentence was naturally said to Fang Xing.

Biomimetic porcelain is the current term. In the Qing Dynasty, this type of porcelain imitating the shape of creatures or the texture of utensils was called "Xiangsheng porcelain".

The origin time of this kind of porcelain is no longer observable.

There is a saying that it originated in the Tang Dynasty, but as early as the Three Kingdoms and Jin Dynasties, celadon human dome lamps appeared. Although the depiction of human faces is relatively rough, it is undeniable that the bionic porcelain has a long history, but it has not been paid attention to. did not develop.

But it is true that it was the Qing Dynasty that prevailed.

Since the porcelain technology has gradually matured in the Qing Dynasty, especially the appearance of famille rose, it is more possible to produce bionic porcelain with realistic colors and shapes.

The bionic porcelain of the Qing Dynasty not only embodies the superb porcelain firing skills of the craftsmen of the Qing Dynasty, but also is full of creativity, artistry, design and interest.Looking at it now, it is still a lifelike and lifelike porcelain boutique.

Liu Shijun looked at the bamboo shoot-shaped inkstone in his hand.

Its six bamboo shoot shells are tightly stacked, the fine tendons and roots are clear and free, and the whole bamboo shoot body and the roots of the bamboo shoots are vividly depicted.Even traces of moths can be seen.

Water enters the head of the bamboo shoot, and water comes out from the small hole near the root. Immerse the bamboo shoot-shaped water bowl in the water, and the water enters the inner chamber of the bamboo shoot from the opening of the head of the bamboo shoot.

During use, the water just flows out continuously from the small hole when the bamboo shoot is stood upright.

This can be described as a whimsy of design, a treasure of ingenious workmanship.

"Brother Liu, you caught me alone and desperately squeezed!"

"Anyway, you have a lot of good things in your house, so it doesn't hurt if I grab a few. Hmm! That's it, I'll give you 150 million." Without waiting for Fang Xing's consent, he put it away.

Fang Xing rolled his eyes, took out another inkstone, put it on the desk, and assembled the set of study treasures.

Wang Suqin was completely speechless, this was another bionic porcelain inkstone drop, an enlarged peanut with two sections.

"Look, am I right?" Liu Shijun really wanted to evacuate Fang's house.

The longer you stay at Fang Xing's house, the more you realize that what you see is just the tip of the iceberg. You never know how many family heirlooms this guy has.

Wang Suqin was satisfied with the lotus inkstone in pastel color, and prepared to leave with those two works.

"Then I'll go to Mr. Kong first, and ask him to help frame it, and then hang it in the classroom of our interest class."

"Okay, you can go! In a few days, the Painting and Calligraphy Art Garden will be ground-breaking, so you should go and have a look." Fang Xing told her.

The construction of these projects was also handed over to Lao Zhou's construction team.

In order to win these projects, Lao Zhou recruited many temporary construction workers.Although it is a casual worker, the handwork is not bad, and it will not be a waste of money.

As long as he takes over the projects of the cultural corridor and the industrial park, Lao Zhou can earn at least 1000 million yuan.

Therefore, he is more considerate than anyone else now, almost treating Fang Xing as a reborn parent.
