Live appraising treasures, I became a national treasure expert?

Chapter 137 Mongolian Porcelain Can Only Lift Shoes

"Respect, Diligence and Tirelessness" is Qianlong's imperial treasure?
Including He Anbang and Lu Benzhi, they all tried their best to remember, but they couldn't remember.

There is a Juanqinzhai in the Forbidden City, which was also built during the Qianlong period, but I don't remember the record of the seal.

It is also because there are too few relevant materials left, and there are too many seals of Qianlong: except this one, I have never heard of any emperor whose imperial treasures are as many as two or three thousand square meters, and there are more than three hundred square meters for appreciating calligraphy and painting.

Otherwise, how can it be called a seal maniac?
Hey...wrong?

Yang Lichuan came to his senses and looked at Ma Xianming: "Ms. Li pointed to the 'seal' and told you?"

"right?"

"Then you still say 'maybe', 'should', 'no accident'?"

"I want to say absolutely, but it's only if you can recognize it!" Ma Xianming curled his lips, "Except for the chapter, it's all in Manchu, can I give it to you?"

"Oh... yes, I found it from the database of the Forbidden City... Well, Teacher Li asked Fang Zhijie to find it..."

Yang Lichuan blushed immediately, and stared at Ma Xianming with gritted teeth.

Li Ding'an hurriedly interrupted: "It's a few operas in Manchu. It's the court drama "Xiao Shao in Zhao Dynasty" appointed by Emperor Qianlong, and this stamp is stamped on it... When Princess Shou'an married Naiman, there was a troupe specializing in this opera in the accompanying household. I just wanted to find out whether this batch of Mongolian porcelain also integrated opera culture..."

Everyone was startled, and then fell silent.

Manchu... That's all right!
To be honest, even in the Forbidden City, there are only a few researchers left who have intensively studied Manchu, which can be said to be the only fruit left. It is normal for ordinary librarians to not understand.

After a short pause, Yang Lichuan's eyes lit up, and he looked at Lu Benzhi: "Lu Yuan, is Juanqinzhai specially trained by Qianlong to listen to operas?"

"Yes, it's the theater!"

"We haven't found the relevant seal records yet, and there are no Manchu opera materials related to it, right?"

"Yeah... eh?"

Lu Benzhi's eyes lit up: It was true that there wasn't one before, but what about now?
"Ding'an, where are those chapters stored?"

"Look at the index, it's in the relevant catalog of Juanqinzhai..."

Haha... Another new discovery?

It is equivalent to the discovery of a new Qianlong imperial treasure, which also fills in the gaps in the history of Juanqinzhai and the opera culture of the Qing Dynasty.

For example: Have you heard of the Manchu "Yang Jiajiang" (the Qing Dynasty court drama "Zhaodai Xiaoshao" was adapted from it)?

no……

For the archaeological and cultural circles, this is a proper new topic, and it is the kind that no one can take away.

Lu Benzhi stood up "Teng", "Ding'an, don't sell this painting!"

what?
After a moment of stunned, everyone who should react has reacted.

Gee...

Even though this painting is really a copy, with this newly born seal, it has definitely become a treasure.What's more, how could Qianlong's imperial mirror be a fake?
He Anbang also became interested: "Who painted it?"

Li Ding'an was unambiguous: "Wang Hui!"

"Ouch……"

Ding Licheng let out an exclamation, slapped his forehead, and there was a very clear "snap", "I just said it..."

Yang Lichuan also suddenly realized: "Is it strange...is it strange?"

Thinking about it now, one of the two said just now that "the technique seems to be in the same line", and the other said that the artistic conception is very different from Wang Shimin, but it seems to be the strength of the four kings..."

Wang Hui was the direct disciple of Wang Shimin and Wang Jian, and after Wang Shimin died, Wang Yuanqi, one of the four kings, who was Wang Shimin's grandson, studied painting with him.

It means that these four people are all from the same family, and the style of painting is not the same. Naturally, Wang Hui is also "the leader of the four kings".

"Sure?"

"Of course it is!"

"Just this one seal, is it enough for us to study for three or two months?"

"More than that, I didn't hear Mr. Li said that there are Manchu operas... We must restart the research of Juanqinzhai. This is architectural archaeology. If it is less, it can be judged by the year. I guess the ministry will have to send people to participate..."

"Oh, Mr. Li's eyes are still as accurate as ever..."

At this time, Professor Jin finally understood why Li Ding'an was only a student, but he was able to take charge of specific projects and cooperate with the National Museum and the Forbidden City.

I also understood the specific meaning of Wu Xiang's sentence "I, Lu Yuan, Ma Suo, and Director Yang are all helping him".

It can be seen in just a short while that his eyesight is definitely higher than that of Ding Licheng and Yang Lichuan.

The problem is, he is only in his early twenties, how did he get it out of his experience?
At the same time, He Anbang's envious eyes were sour: architectural archaeology?

The funding is hundreds of millions?

Research on porcelain, calligraphy and painting, etc., is like a younger brother in front of it.

No matter how jealous he is when he asks a question, how can he still snatch Juanqinzhai to the National Expo?

Immediately, He Anbang became a little impatient: "Is it over? Let's see when it's over...well, just go back!"

"He Guan, don't be in a hurry... you have to study it clearly, right?"

Ding Licheng gave him a displeased look, then pointed at the painting, "Director Yang, there is still a seal here, do you have any impression?"

"No, but... this position?" Yang Lichuan narrowed his eyes, "It's actually higher than Qianlong's?"

"Hiss... must it be the Emperor's Royal Treasure?"

Whose problem is it?
Everyone turned their heads and looked at Li Ding'an.

"Looking at the handwriting, it should be written by Kangxi, and this seal should also belong to him..." Li Ding'an thought for a while, "But I haven't thought of the source..."

Kangxi's...haha, it's new again?

I didn't expect the source to be right, so that it has research value.

In other words, there is a new topic...

The gang in the Forbidden City immediately became excited, and everyone was smiling, including Lu Benzhi: just this painting, it is not in vain for them to go there in the middle of the night.

"Hurry up... put it away..." Lu Benzhi narrowed his eyes, "I will put it in the security research department when I get back, and the project will be approved tomorrow..."

He Anbang was even more depressed. Anyway, up to now, he hasn't caught a hair.

But someone is more depressed than him: "Bastard..."

Suddenly there was an angry curse in the room, and he turned his head again: Mr. Zheng was crying, as if he was about to cry.

He couldn't help but cry: this is not only the authentic work of Wang Hui, one of the four kings, but also the seal and writing of two generations of emperors.

4000 million, how about two 4000 million?
It's not bad that he didn't bang his head against the wall...

"I said at the time... Even if the painting is an imitation, what about so many chapters? As a result...all of them are fake?"

"Don't be angry, it's normal!" Professor Jin patted him on the shoulder, "Even the painting is wrong, who dares to say that the seal is real? Naturally, it will be fake..."

"Indeed!" Ding Licheng also sighed, "Mr. Zheng, I'm not afraid of your jokes. You invited me to come, so I can only say 'I don't know'..."

Hearing this, Mr. Zheng was stunned again.

Hey... really?

It seems that Director Yang didn't notice it just now...

After thinking about it, the anger gradually dissipated: it's not that experts are useless, but that the painting is too complicated... unless he could invite Li Ding'an at that time.

The problem is, before you know who he is, why did you invite such a young man to identify him because your mind was squeezed by the door?

Definitely call in the experts...

Hmm, I just called the expert a bastard?Ouch...don't get me wrong...

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry, Mr. Li, didn't I scold you just now..."

Boss Zheng was shocked, and grabbed Li Ding'an's hand, his face was full of Qi Yi's look, "Look, if I trouble you in the future..."

"Mr. Zheng, I understand..." Li Ding'an nodded, "In the future, if you have any doubts, just call..."

After leaving such a big treasure, this person is not in a hurry, which shows that he has a good character.Just focusing on this point means that it is worthy of deep friendship, so Li Dingan did not refuse.

Hearing this sentence, the bit of regret in Mr. Zheng's heart also disappeared.

Because he knows very well, not to mention Ma Xianming and Yang Lichuan, even Ding Licheng, he can never be hired by spending money.

He has channels, and there are many things, so as long as he can talk to such a person, it is equivalent to opening the door to the treasure house.

Then, don't you just make money as you want?
Thinking about it this way, I feel that this treasure is worth thousands of dollars today.

This is the truth...

"Okay, is it over?"

He Anbang urged, "Come back when you're done!"

Lu Benzhi also nodded: "Mmm... back!"

In fact, he was more anxious than He Anbang.

The first imperial porcelain of the Qing Dynasty?
Having studied imperial porcelain for most of his life, just the four words "appearing for the first time" are enough to make him excited...

Before seeing the specific things, it would be a torment to stay a little longer, so I just left.After a simple greeting, more than a dozen Wuwu Yangyang went out.

There were not enough cars, so Mr. Zheng specially sent his car to send Professor Wu and Li Ding'an off.

Before parting, Wu Xiang introduced Professor Jin emphatically: "This is Dean Jin Fengnan of the School of Archeology of the River Normal University!"

Or fellow?

Moreover, the relationship with Peking University is very deep: the Department of Archeology of the River Division was established with the support of the School of Culture and Museum of Peking University.Every now and then, Master He would invite professors from Peking University to give lectures.And from time to time, the teachers and students of the River Division would come to Peking University to study.

After shaking hands with Li Ding'an again, Professor Jin pondered for a while: "Professor Wu, when is it convenient for you, can you invite Mr. Li to come to Heshi for a few classes?"

Li Dingan was a little confused.

He hasn't learned it yet, teaching others?

Are you kidding me?

But unexpectedly, Wu Xiang nodded his head: "Let's wait for a while, until he finishes his work on the subject!"

Professor Jin nodded vigorously: "Okay...then it's settled..."

Li Ding'an was completely confused: did he really agree?
The three separated, and when they got into the car, he didn't react.

But he didn't think about it, and there was something that made him even more confused.

Sitting in the car, Wu Xiang said again: "I'll ask the department to organize it. After two days, you can spare some time and come back to take a few classes... let's talk about the Mongolian porcelain that I'm studying this time."

Li Dingan's eyes widened: What's the difference between Professor Wu's "Take a few classes" and Professor Jin's "Take a few classes"?
He twisted his neck: "teacher... this... isn't it appropriate?"

"What's inappropriate?" Wu Xiang glanced at him indifferently, "Did you not publish the thesis, or did you not complete the project?... Don't forget, you are also a tutor assistant, and you still receive the school's salary..."

Li Ding'an was stunned for a moment and stopped talking.

It must be too early to say whether the research has been thorough and clear.But when it comes to the arguments and topics, they are all summarized, summarized, formulated and perfected by him alone, and he is worthy of the name of the project leader.

That's why Wu Xiang said that he was also helping Li Ding'an.

Gao Shengdong also chimed in: "Brother, this is normal, including me giving lectures from time to time!"

Can it be the same? You are a lecturer, okay?
Li Ding'an hesitated for a moment: "What if the speech goes wrong?"

Hehe... how is it possible?

As far as Li Ding'an's knowledge reserve is concerned... You are really so humble as a researcher at the National Museum and the Forbidden City, and you call everyone a teacher?

Including his eloquence... Even Ma Xianming, who is the most eloquent and nonsensical in the National Expo, is often stunned by him.

Therefore, Wu Xiang is not worried at all...

Wu Xiang leaned back lazily: "If you smash it, you will smash it...Don't worry about your story..."

"OK then!"

Li Ding'an sighed: just one piece of Mongolian porcelain can extend more than ten topics from the aspects of "national culture", "national history", "integration of Chinese and Western art", "enamel color and relief porcelain".With the first time, there must be a second time, and N many times.

So, his "teacher" seems to be living up to his name...

Xijiaomin Lane is only two kilometers away from the Forbidden City, and the car will arrive as soon as you think about it.

More than a dozen cultural security officers and researchers waited for it, and within a few minutes, they emptied the car and sent it all to the Research and Security Center.

Gao Shengdong and Shu Jinghao have done more than half of the preliminary work, and the rest is recording, and the staff is methodical.

"Ms. Li, it's Yuci, right?" Ma Xianming's eyes lit up, "Why don't you let me take a look first?"

Li Dingan nodded: "Yes!"

He also wants to see if there is still a gap between himself and authoritative scholars if he does not rely on the system, and how big the gap is.

Ma Xianming rubbed his hands excitedly and came to the long case.

There are not many porcelains, less than twenty pieces, and correspondingly, the characteristics of each piece are very obvious.

"This is Hantao..."

"This is the Porcelain Kiln of the Ming Dynasty..."

"This is the Ding Kiln of the Qing Dynasty..."

"Hey...and Jizhou Kiln?"

After looking at them one by one, Ma Xianming ruled out most of them within ten minutes.In the end, there were only two late Qing imperial kiln famille rose vases and the two blue and white bowls left.

"The money from the Chuxiu Palace...maybe it's for Empress Dowager Cixi..."

It is considered a boutique, but for the Forbidden City, it has been thoroughly researched, so it must not be these two...

Ma Xianming ruled it out again, and finally took a look around.

It seems that these two blue and white bowls with no money are left?

Everyone's eyes are bright: it seems that this is it.

Because all the impossibilities have been ruled out...

Under the gaze of everyone, Ma Xianming picked up one of them: "Hey, Western painting?"

"Or blue and white on glaze? It's a bit like the craft of painting enamel on glaze..."

"Relief porcelain, or bas-relief? It's rare...

Bas-relief?
Gao Shengdong was a little confused when he heard it. To be honest, it was the first time he heard this word.Because in his impression, any mention of relief porcelain refers to high relief.

Puzzled in his heart, he was just about to ask, but Li Ding'an gently stabbed him.

He didn't know, it didn't mean there wasn't one, and it didn't mean that Peking University didn't cover the relevant knowledge.

It's just because this thing has disappeared, and the related craftsmanship and records have also disappeared, so the information only mentions it symbolically, and the school basically doesn't teach it.

Therefore, you must never ask, otherwise it is tantamount to exposing your shortcomings.

Gao Shengdong suddenly came to his senses, only to feel a fever on his face: No wonder the embossed porcelain of these two bowls is not a common embossed carving technique?
Fortunately, I told Shu Jinghao at the beginning: Is the imitation neither fish nor fowl?

Wu Xiang nodded in satisfaction...

"Why is it so bright? It feels like titanium dioxide is used... But this color doesn't quite look like... Huh? This color is wrong, I've never seen it before..."

Ma Xianming muttered to himself, frowning and thinking hard.

It must be this thing, because none of the others have anything to do with the word "national treasure", but I don't know if it's because of drinking, it feels like there is such a layer of window paper, but it can't be pierced?

After thinking for a long time, he suddenly sighed: "Professor Wu, Dean Lu, why don't you take a look too?"

Lu Benzhi shook his head, and Wu Xiang also shook his head.

Because Li Ding'an mentioned it on the phone, they already knew the answer.

When they brought it in just now, they looked at it again: yes, it is that thing.

Of course, this is to infer the cause from the effect, so it is simple.To put it bluntly, there is indeed only a layer of window paper, but the problem is that someone has to pierce the eyes in advance.Otherwise, like Ma Xianming, he would not be able to resemble that aspect even if he was beaten to death.

"I tried my best anyway..."

Ma Xianming scratched his forehead: "Then Mr. Li, what exactly is this?"

"Ma Suo, you have been drinking, so your thinking and memory have been affected..." Li Ding'an reminded with a smile, "This is not titanium dioxide..."

Of course I know it's not titanium dioxide glaze, titanium dioxide is just white, but it won't be so shiny, it feels like pearl powder has been added?

Hmm, pearl powder?
Ma Xianming was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly lifted the bowl up. After a short pause, he was shocked again: "Oh...pearl glaze?"

The onlookers cheered up and all gathered around: "Pearl glaze...isn't it a first-grade blue and white?"

"It's that thing, it's also called Liutongchun!"

"I'll go, this is Yuanming blue and white... Isn't it lost?"

"History records that when the Eight-Nation Allied Forces entered Beijing, they burned it all up...Where did these two things come from?"

"It's probably been handed down before. I guess there are only two of them in the world... That's why they are national treasures and rare treasures!"

"But it doesn't look like... Look, there are no pearls on it..."

He Anbang was also stunned, and jumped over with a stride, picking up the other one.

"Is it really Yuanming blue and white?"

Li Ding'an nodded: "Yes, it's also called Yipin blue and white porcelain, but it's not the Liutong spring porcelain created by Lang Shining during the Kangxi period, but the pearl glazed porcelain created by the official kilns in the late Qing Dynasty after the evolution of craftsmanship..."

He Anbang's eyes lit up when he heard "Yuanming blue and white flowers" and "Yipin blue and white flowers", and he didn't even pay attention to what was behind.

Because the historical data clearly records that this thing has long since disappeared, and it was burnt together with Yuanmingyuan, including the craftsmanship.

Because of this, it is occasionally mentioned in historical materials, but most of them are one or two words.

But this time, two suddenly appeared?

Isn't this a national treasure?
Hmm... no?
Surprised for a while, He Anbang found another suspicious point: "Where are the pearls on it?"

Where are the pearls?

Li Ding'an explained again: "Let me put it this way: at that time, both Liutongchun and Yipin blue and white porcelain belonged to Yuanmingyuan, and they were often placed together.

Afterwards, all the things were burned, and there were very few materials left. Over time, later generations regarded these two kinds of porcelain as one kind of thing... Therefore, Liutongchun is Liutongchun, and the grains on it are not pearl grains, but embossed grains. The real pearl glazed porcelain refers to the one in your hand..."

Pearl glaze... pearl glaze...

What do you mean?
He Anbang was taken aback, and his eyes widened suddenly: "It means that the glaze on it is the color of pearls...Real pearls?"

"Yes!" Li Ding'an nodded heavily, "That's why I say this thing is a rare treasure..."

With a "hum", everyone was not calm.

The same idea came to many people's minds: Tianfang Yetan!
Because pearls are plain secretions of mussels, which are organic substances. If the temperature is slightly higher, it will be dehydrated and discolored. If it exceeds [-] degrees, it will be scorched, decomposed, or even weathered.

Not to mention baking it with fire, if it is exposed to the sun for a long time, it will deteriorate and crack.

Now they say, use this thing to glaze porcelain?

This is craft?

This is black technology, okay?
But because of this, He Anbang believed more and more that this stuff was real.

Because of the attitudes of Lu Benzhi and Wu Xiang, more because of their calm expressions at this time, and more because of Ma Xianming's eyes were shining, and he was still gnashing his teeth, constantly giving him winks.

What else could it mean?
grab……

He put down the bowl, and asked solemnly: "Old Ma, is there any relevant record?"

"Yes!" Ma Xianming nodded resolutely, "There are in the Forbidden City, Beijing University also has, including ours... But the scientific community has always believed that the historical records are wrong, and later generations spread the rumors... Even now, there is no mature pearl high-temperature treatment process..."

The scientific community?
There is no mature technology now?
He Anbang was a little confused.

It is true that the historical records are wrong, but it has to be reversed.In other words, the appearance of these two bowls not only overthrows all previous academic achievements related to archaeology and porcelain, but also includes corresponding scientific research achievements?
This time, not only crossed the border, it can be said that it has crossed the Milky Way...

Wouldn't it be no less than an academic earthquake if we waited for related projects to be established?
It is no exaggeration to say that compared with it, Mongolian porcelain can only give this thing a shoe...

For a moment, He Anbang's eyes were straightened, and he held the bowl and did not let go: "Cooperation, we must cooperate in research... It won't work if anyone says it, even if the minister comes..."

Ma Xianming is drunk, and you are drunk too, why are you acting like a rascal?

Li Ding'an didn't speak, neither did Lu Benzhi, they just looked at Professor Wu.

Wu Xiang sighed: "It's not impossible, but it has to be led by Beijing University..."

To be honest, from the perspective of influence, it is indeed necessary to find a backup, because when the time comes, what we have to face is not only the focus of the entire archaeological and academic circles, but also the scientific community...

He Anbang was ecstatic, and put down the bowl contentedly.

And Wu Xiang and Lu Benzhi looked at each other, and then looked at Li Ding'an.

Li Ding'an was stunned for a moment: Is this... wants me to be responsible?
Professor Wu, Dean Lu, please take a look at my thin body... Are you kidding me?
He was excited, shaking his head like a wave drum: "I haven't studied Mongolian porcelain well..."

Oh... that's right too!
Wu Xiang and Lu Benzhi nodded together again.

Not to mention Li Ding'an, both of them and He Anbang can't do it.This project is estimated to be led by the ministry or the Academy of Social Sciences.

But no matter what, Li Ding'an, the main person in charge, can't run away...

Wu Xiang thought for a while: "Tomorrow... oh no, you will go to work next Monday. You should start preparing first, and try to work out the general direction and research content within one to two weeks... Whoever needs to cooperate at that time, feel free to choose, including me, Lu Yuan, and Ding Yuan..."

Li Ding'an was dumbfounded again: What's the difference?
When the time comes to report, the document should be signed, okay?
He instinctively wanted to refuse, but when he met the expectant eyes of the three, he sighed again.

Opportunities come with pressure... Is it true that such a big project is really willing to give up?

Think again: Isn't it exciting to talk to a lot of scholars and researchers in the scientific community?
People are dead and birds are facing the sky, and they will not die for thousands of years, afraid of an egg!
He nodded heavily: "No problem!"
