Riding the wind of rebirth

"It's not easy, but among all your collections, which one is easy?" The fourth aunt smiled encouragingly: "Where there is a will, there is a way. Now the times are different, and your opportunities always come true." Much more than we did back then."

"Okay, then I'll take back this Brother Kiln Fish Pole Seal Incense Burner, and I'll keep these pieces of porcelain here for the two elders to enjoy."

"No need." Although the fourth cousin couldn't put it down, he still rejected Zhou Zhi: "This thing is too expensive, so I don't dare to stay with me overnight."

"Leave this imitation Jun kiln tripod here, and you take everything else back." The fourth cousin said, "There is also the Liu Songnian fan that your fourth aunt restored."

"Okay. Fourth uncle, fourth aunt, take a look at this again." After speaking, he took out a pair of office teacups made of peach blossom porcelain with water spots, a water bowl, and a pen holder: "These four pieces of wool porcelain are filial piety. Second old."

"Hey, this is the seven-character prefix of Jingde No. [-] Factory!" Uncle Sibiao said in surprise.

Zhou Zhi was even more surprised: "You know this old man?"

"Of course I know." The fourth cousin said: "I used to have a few old classmates over there. The color of this peach blossom head is a peach red made of 40.00% five-aluminum and 30.00% six-manganese. Under the action of high temperature of 18.00% mineralizer, the formula will show a corundum-type pink color."

"Why are you so clear?"

The fourth cousin was proud: "Because the color of this thing was right at the time, but after glazing and refiring, the color glaze would crack. My classmate wrote letters everywhere to ask everyone for ideas, and finally solved the problem with my idea."

Fortunately, the two pieces of porcelain that Zhou Zhi took down had their characteristics of scarcity, and the fourth cousin knew that such things must be worth a lot at the auction.

"Eh? Director Liao of the Gan Provincial Bureau of Light Industry also mentioned this matter. He said that the Porcelain Research Institute invented a new type of glaze through research and solved this problem just now?"

For the elderly who have become a habit of picking up the missing ones, anyone who participates in the auction is a tough guy.

"Originally, all of them should be destroyed according to the regulations. Later, considering the loss of special porcelain during use, only a part was destroyed, and some were retained."

"Mao porcelain and Jianguo porcelain are extremely difficult to make, and the degree of exquisiteness of the utensils is not inferior to that of the previous dynasty, but why don't they get the treatment they deserve?" The fourth cousin was a little angry: "To put it bluntly, it is a modern handicraft. What economic value, so together with its cultural value, artistic value, and historical value were ignored.”

"Modern handicrafts have no historical value." The fourth aunt pursed her lips and said with a smile.

"How did you get the elbow?"

It was Zhou Zhi's pager that rang, but Zhou Zhi saw that it was Jiang Shuyi's phone call, so he quickly called back.

"According to Director Liao, more than 1 pieces were developed at that time, and only about [-] pieces came out of the kiln intact. More than [-] pieces were sent to the capital, and the rest were sent to Hunan Province, and the rest were left in the warehouse of the Jiangxi Porcelain Factory .”

Based on these, the fourth cousin did not continue to ask.

"Since you still have so many, your fourth uncle and I will not be polite about these things." The fourth aunt pulled a pair of office cups with lids in front of her: "This pair will be the master cups of my family from now on!"

This is also impossible, and these two pieces of porcelain have another advantage, that is, they have the status of reflow porcelain, and they can participate in free auctions of major banks in the future, unlike those cultural relics that are not allowed to leave the country, so the value space is huge.

"Hehe, that means Director Liao doesn't know much about the details of the craftsmanship at that time." Uncle Sibiao said with a smile: "The formula only solves the problem of color tone. The porcelain body of the toner is subjected to a pickling process, which is the key."

Zhou Zhi didn't dare to say that he also bought the courtyard house of Lord Baylor of the former Qing Dynasty and the collection of the director of "Burning the Old Summer Palace", and he didn't dare to tell his fourth uncle the real auction price of the two pieces of porcelain he bought in Haitong, otherwise he might be caught by the four. Cousin crit.

"Ah? Aunt, you just tested me?"

"In fact, Mao porcelain is the absorption and development of the three generations of pastels, and it also inherited a large amount of the painting style of Zhushan Bayou Wugu painting in the Republic of my country. Therefore, from this perspective, Mao porcelain and Jianguo porcelain are especially important for the study of Chinese porcelain. It is the firing history of official kiln wares, which has great historical value."

"The great thing about this seven-character head is its pioneering work. It inherited the famille rose craft from the third generation of the Qing Dynasty, and at the same time changed the famille rose pastel into underglaze. It not only maintains and develops the boneless technique, but also makes the porcelain pattern become It is in line with the Chinese aesthetics of painting, and at the same time it is equivalent to adding a layer of glass glaze to the pattern, so that the porcelain has better retention."

Zhou Zhi told the story of getting the porcelain to his fourth uncle and fourth aunt, and then said: "This porcelain was fired for Ju Ren Tang at that time, so it is indeed a state secret."

"You did a good job in this matter!" The fourth cousin praised: "Nowadays when you are engaged in collecting, the first thing you think of is to sell it, and the first thing you think of is to make money, completely ignoring the cultural value, art value, and historical value of cultural and entertainment items. Value, it’s a trade-off.”

"You can't say that." Zhou Zhi said: "At least in terms of craftsmanship, the five-character porcelain is still following the ancient way of the previous dynasty, so it must learn from a lot of firing experience of the antique porcelain of the previous dynasty."

"This trip to the capital has been very fruitful." The fourth uncle said with a smile to Zhou Zhi, "Didn't the elbow cost a lot?"

After finishing speaking, he held up the water bowl and was overjoyed: "After they fired it successfully, I asked my old classmates to take some photos to see. The guy was dragging me some state secrets, and he didn't even give me photos."

"It's okay. In fact, it was the disciple of Mr. Wang who introduced him to participate. Mr. Wang was there at the time, and the price seems fair to everyone. At least this imitation Jun kiln tripod is half cheaper than the overseas auction price."

"This is a breakthrough and pioneering work after the development of Chinese porcelain in New China." Uncle Sibiao said, "So I can see it at a glance."

"Later, some porcelain was distributed to the employees as welfare. The employees of the porcelain factory used it as daily necessities, and lost a large part of it. I tried to collect the rest. Seven-character hair porcelain and five-character Jianguo porcelain Adding up the porcelain, about [-] pieces were obtained.”

The fourth aunt smiled and nodded: "I have played porcelain until my elbows are like this, so I understand how to play!"

"Zhou Zhi, you're back? Where are you now?"

"I'm at my uncle's house, and you're back too?"

"Hey, do you know what we were doing?" Another voice sounded from the other side of the microphone, but it was Zhang Xinyi's voice: "Come here quickly, we need your help with something!"

"Rub ice powder, Zi Wan told me."

"No..." Zhang Xinyi on the other end of the phone was about to cry: "Yes... it's nails, they are so ugly now, they can't be washed off, what should I do?"
