Chapter 220 The First Inkstone of the Qing Dynasty

The five famous kilns in the Song Dynasty were Ru kiln, Guan kiln, Jun kiln, Ding kiln and Ge kiln.

They have been passed down since ancient times and they are famous all over the world.

Among them, Ru kiln is the rarest and is known as the first of the five famous kilns. In Chinese history, it is also known as "Ru kiln is the leader". Whenever its figure appears in major auction houses around the world, it will become the focus of the audience. , the price has always remained high, and any well-preserved Ru porcelain from the Song Dynasty is worth more than [-] million.

The second is the official kiln. As the name suggests, it is the kiln mouth specially designed for firing porcelain for the palace. It is divided into imperial porcelain kiln and official kiln porcelain. The former is porcelain specially used by the royal family. There are strict etiquette regulations on the shape and decoration of the porcelain. , with the highest quality and strictest requirements. The latter is used by a large group of bureaucrats and has relatively low formal requirements.

Under this circumstance, in the international auction market, the prices of official kilns often appear polarized. The prices of imperial porcelain kilns with excellent quality are often not inferior to those of Ru kiln porcelain. However, the vast majority of official porcelain kilns currently on the market Most of the kilns are official kiln porcelain, with prices ranging from millions to tens of millions.

As for the Jun kiln porcelain required to be purchased in this Tang Yuan system mission, it ranked third among the five famous kilns in the Song Dynasty. It was founded in the Tang Dynasty and flourished in the Northern Song Dynasty. Among the five famous kilns in the Song Dynasty, it was known as "the glaze has five colors and is gorgeous." "Unparalleled" and unique. The other four major kiln entrances all use single-color glazes, and the decorative techniques are nothing more than opening, scratching, printing, engraving, etc., but it is completely different. It is not a single color, but thousands of colors. , at the same time, it is extremely unpredictable and the whole is natural. No one can predict its color until the moment it comes out of the kiln.

It is precisely because of this uncertainty, and because the decoration of Jun kiln porcelain is beautiful and unpredictable, that Jun kiln porcelain is rare and its price has remained high from ancient times to the present. It is extremely precious, so much so that among the people in the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a "long-term porcelain" There is a saying that a huge fortune is not as good as a piece of Jun porcelain."

In order to collect five pieces of treasure-grade Jun kiln porcelain, this is the fourth time Tang Yuan has participated in an online auction this month.

For the first and second time, Tang Yuan successfully photographed three pieces of Jun kiln porcelain.

The third time, it was a special sale of historical study rooms held by Sotheby's auction house. At that auction, Tang Yuan bought a jade pen, a jade pen holder, a jade pen holder, a jade pen handle, and a piece of writing. Inkstone.

Tang Yuan possesses master-level calligraphy skills. When it comes to the things he uses, he naturally does whatever he likes, regardless of the cost.

The jade pen, made by the royal family of the Ming Dynasty, is 23 centimeters long and is engraved with a chi head piercing the cloud pattern. After Tang Yuan successfully photographed it, he contacted a National Museum restorer through his connections and replaced it with a brand new wolf brush.

Jade pen holder, Southern Song Dynasty, shaped like 32 stone peaks, made of ink jade, extremely well preserved.

The jade pen holder was made by the emperor in the Qing Dynasty. It is made of white marble and engraved with three-star mountain and forest patterns. It is 19 centimeters high and 5 centimeters wide. It is round and jade-like and natural.

The jade pen handler, imperially made in the Qing Dynasty, is made of sapphire and consists of two objects. Together they look like a lotus leaf, reed crab, and a full of vitality. When you remove the lotus leaf-shaped cover, you will find the pen handler underneath. Quite interesting.

As for the last literary inkstone, it was Tang Yuan's biggest gain in the rest of the month.

The total of the first four study utensils cost Tang Yuan 3100 million, and the last piece of literary inkstone alone cost Tang Yuan 4300 million to successfully break through among many competitors. , and successfully captured it.

This literary inkstone is the Fuwen Inkstone, known as the "No. [-] Inkstone in the Qing Dynasty". Its original owner was Ji Xiaolan, who compiled the "Sikuquanshu" and was known as Guanyi Taoist.

It has been recorded in ancient texts that Ji Xiaolan was fond of inkstones, and the Fu Wen Inkstone was his favorite literary inkstone in his collection throughout his life.

There are a total of five inscriptions on this Fuwen inkstone, all of which were written by famous literati at that time. It is precisely because of these five inscriptions that this Fuwen inkstone, which is made of relatively ordinary materials, has such a high value.

During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, Liu Yong, the Minister of Personnel, Ji Xiaolan, the Minister of Rites, Yi Bingshou, who served as the prefect of Huizhou and Yangzhou, Guifu, one of the four literary masters of the Qing Dynasty, and Jiang Shiyao, who served as the chief of the Ministry of War, all left their inkstones on this side. Marked.These five people include Jinshi, Jieyuan, magistrate, and minister.

Five famous historical officials left inscriptions, which were given by Liu Yong personally and passed down from generation to generation during the Song Dynasty.

With so many auras surrounding him, this Fang Fuwen Inkstone is extremely precious.

Right now, it is the fourth online auction that Tang Yuan has participated in this month. He has just successfully bought two pieces of Jun kiln porcelain again.

At this point, all his existing system tasks have been completed. He successfully submitted the four-star system task [Collecting the top ten supercars in the world] two days ago and received a collection value of 10 and a reward of 10 billion RMB. .

For the remaining two 3-star system missions, he just needs to wait patiently. These auction items will be mailed to his home from various places in the next week. There is still plenty of time before the end of his mission.

"Congratulations, Brother Yuan!"

"Successfully captured what I wanted!"

Xie Chengrun, who was sitting next to Tang Yuan, immediately expressed his congratulations to Tang Yuan.

"Dayuan, after you get this Northern Song Dynasty Jun kiln purple-spotted bowl, can you give me a chance to observe it? I want to see how such a small thing can be so valuable!"

Lin Ziyang has a very good relationship with Tang Yuan, he said carelessly.

"Good talk, good talk."

"When the time comes, if any of you are interested, you can come together."

Tang Yuan responded with a smile, and the last sentence was addressed to Xie Chengrun. It was not only a response to the other party's congratulations, but also an expression of his friendship and invitation.

Speaking of which, Tang Yuan and the third-generation heir of Zhengda Group also met through Wang Longze recently. He is similar in age to Wang Longze, one year older than Wang Longze and a few months younger than Tang Yuan. Both of them are young talents. , and their interests and hobbies are quite similar.
