Riding the wind of rebirth

"I'll leave the pager and landline to you." Zhou Zhi also liked this middle-aged man with a rough and delicate temperament in foreign trade: "I'm going to BJ soon, and I have to go back to Jiachuan to study in my third year of high school when I come back. Next time we meet I don't even know when."

"Anyway, I will come here to play when I come to Shudu in the future. I have a lot of tea here."

"Old Zhang, you are partial." Lao Chai said, "We have been here so many times and we haven't seen you handing out business cards."

Zhang Cheng also just smiled slightly and ignored Lao Chai's troubles. He repeatedly brushed the base of the Pomegranate Zun, which had completely melted the primer, with clean water, and took a soft towel to wipe it clean: "The base of the seal carving, the age matches. The object with the wide open door Son, I found the baby."

"What do you mean? I don't understand." Old Chai's advantage is to ask when he doesn't understand.

"Cowpea red glaze is a kind of porcelain created and fired in the late Kangxi period. At that time, most of the official kiln bottoms were blue and white regular script 'Kangxi Years of the Qing Dynasty'. In the late period, a small amount of seal script was used, which was divided into writing and engraving payment."

"The base of this Pomegranate Zun is obviously engraved on the bottom of the tire first, and then written with copper glaze. The age of the engraved style is exactly the same as the year when the Pomegranate Zun was created and fired. With this large-open base, there is no doubt that it is genuine. .”

"It's my luck." Zhou Zhi nodded, and turned around the Pomegranate Zun: "It's also lucky, otherwise it will be randomly placed by the dealer, and it will be a loss if it is damaged a bit."

Lao Chai and the others have also seen a lot of porcelain, but this is the first time they have seen the seal-cut inscriptions of the Kangxi official kiln. There is no doubt that this is the most solemn bottom inscription printed by the old Kangxi kiln, and the corresponding porcelain is also the highest-standard official kiln. porcelain.

Therefore, in the eyes of several people, this bottle suddenly became extremely noble and beautiful.

It is indeed more beautiful, but the addition of natural sunlight only accounts for a small amount, and it is more of a psychological effect.

"This time Guishizi bought so many things." Zhou Zhi said, "Uncle Zhang, please introduce your collection to me."

"Look for yourself, I will study Chongzhen blue and white again," Zhang Cheng waved his hand: "It's fine if you miss something, and it's wrong to miss research opportunities."

"I also watch blue and white." Lao Chai was unwilling to let go of such a good learning opportunity.

So the people in the store were divided into three parts, two were studying Chongzhen blue and white flowers, two were studying Kangxi seal carving, and one was wandering around.

It should be said that the background of Daya Zhai is good. Zhang Cheng has definitely been guided by a famous teacher, and the things collected in the counter are systematic and visited in an orderly manner.

For example, the blue and white and pastel colors on the two counters are all laid out according to the Tongguang Road of Kangxi and Yongzhou. Experts can see the vision of the boss at a glance.

Except for the three dynasties of the Qing Dynasty, the treasure of the town store should be a Dehua porcelain Arhat statue, and the rest is a counter of miscellaneous small items.

"Uncle Zhang, how do you sell these court beads?" Zhou Zhi found that there were more than ten Baoshan Nanhong court beads inside, and thinking that he also had some gifts from Uncle Yu in his hand, he started to collect them.

"I'll give it to you if you like it. I still have twenty or thirty pieces in the bottom drawer of the cabinet, and they're all incomplete." Zhang Cheng took a magnifying glass to study the blue and white porcelain and didn't even look back: "Even if it's a viewing fee! "

"Thank you, Uncle Zhang!" Zhou Zhi was not polite, opened the cabinet and put away all the beads.

Chaozhu is a very complicated accessory. It is a hanging accessory for court dresses in the Qing Dynasty. It can be worn above the fifth rank of civil officials and the fourth rank of military officials.

The format of court beads is a string of 27 main beads, and every [-] there will be a larger bead of other materials as a spacer bead, and the bead at the back of the neck has a mouth, which is called " Buddha head".

The Buddha's head is three-linked. In addition to being worn on the bead string, a sash will be drawn from the bottom of the mouth. A square carved ornament will be connected to the sash, called "back cloud". There is a drop-shaped ornament called "falling foot".

There are also three strings of wicker-shaped beads on the bead string, two on the left and one on the right, with ten pieces each, and there are also small pendant feet at the bottom. These small strings of beads are called "Ji Nian".

The various parts are sometimes separated by small thin sheets, called "septa".

Such a set of things is all made of precious stones, gold and jade, and the materials are generally Dongzhu, emerald, agate, lapis lazuli, coral, turquoise and so on.

Various colors are related to status and occasions. For example, three strings are used for the court dress of the empress dowager, one string of oriental beads is hung in the middle, and two strings of coral are hung obliquely on both shoulders.

The emperor hung lapis lazuli beads for sacrifices to the sky, amber for the ground, coral for the sun, and green pine for the moon.

Baoshan Nanhong belongs to the agate category. Because its color is close to coral, folks use it to replace coral pearls. The material was almost exhausted in the late Qing Dynasty.

But Baoshan is in the middle of Yunnan, and things must go through the middle of Sichuan when they are sent out. Therefore, there are often scattered Nanhong and jadeite beads on various cultural and entertainment stalls in this era, and they are sold very cheaply. The price is the same as copper coins, one or two. You can buy one for a buck.

However, no one seems to have thought about collecting beads and recombining them into bead strings.

Zhou Zhi has now collected a batch of accessories for court beads, including Buddha heads, cloud backs, bottom pendants, etc. There are also more than a hundred Nanhong beads and jadeite beads, but they are of different sizes and cannot be assembled into a whole string.

Since Lao Zhang was willing to give it away, Zhou Zhi was not polite, but he didn't know if Nanhong Chao beads could be made together after adding this batch of beads.

Antique stores pay attention to the principle of "not opening for three years and opening for three years". The store is clean, and when everyone is doing their own work, a person pushes the door in: "I guess you are here! Elbow, what are you doing?" What's the matter? Call you and don't answer!"

"Oh, the pager is out of battery." Zhou Zhi remembered to look at his pager and found that the battery had been replaced.

"Shu Yi is looking for you." It was Fei Guan who came, "I arranged for them to eat outside."

After finishing speaking, he cupped his hands at Zhang Cheng: "Senior brother."

"Senior brother?" Zhou Zhi felt very strange, everyone said that Jiachuan is a villain and knows people, so it seems that the capital of Shu is not big!
Fei Guan smiled and introduced to Elbow: "We all know each other, right? This Zhang Cheng, his master, is a senior brother of our Gongmei Mr. Zhang. They were both clerks in the old Qintai antique shop, so we are considered brothers of the same school." .”

"No, I'm not so affectionate." Zhang Cheng laughed: "Uncle Master has never recognized you as a disciple."

"You guys chat first, I'll ask Shu Yi what's the matter." Zhou Zhi opened the door and went out.

Fu Xia was eating big mouthfuls of the rice noodle rolls, and this girl also knew that the rice rolls were soaked in Guokui, which was more authentic than Jiang Shuyi who had a small mouthful of Guokui and a chopstick powder.

"Shu Yi, are you sleepy?" Zhou Zhi asked, "There's still a while before I can go back."

Jiang Shuyi shook her head, took out a notebook and opened it: "Look, I think you must like these things."

Zhou Zhi took the notebook over and found that it was densely packed with book titles.

"Xuan Shi Zhi", "Ju Tan Lu", "Jinhuazi Miscellaneous", "Xuanhe Painting Book", "Mustard Seed Garden Painting Book", "Chengdu History"...

"Good stuff! Where did you see it?"
