Chapter 76 Do You Understand

"Worker?" Yu Yao thought in his heart, the more he listened, the more confused he became. Could it be that the money spent on that grimace was not passed down from the Zhong family's ancestors, but Zhong Qiansu got it by accident?
"Is it weird? Zhong Yu wasn't even born at that time, and you don't know much about it at your age. There are only workers and peasant cadres. There are no antique dealers or antique markets!"

"Then he wants to do this purely out of interest?"

"To be precise, I don't know whether he wants to do it or not."

"Then this picture?"

"Back then, at Chenguang Ceramics Factory, Zhong Qiansu and I were the ones who did the best work, and I admired him for everything else. But there was one thing, my Chinese painting foundation was slightly stronger than his. Although I used hook brushes to paint on ceramics, but By analogy, I can afford it and let it go. Back then, we learned something from each other."

When the lame master said this, his eyes were a little blurred, "We worked together in a workshop for several years. Then, one day in the early 80s, he took this picture and asked me how I did it."

Seeing the lame master's appearance, Yu Yao's heart skipped a beat.This lame master can say this to himself, I'm afraid it's not all because he doesn't want to owe himself!This kind of thing is backlogged in the bottom of my heart, and sometimes I need a reason to vent.

At the same time, my own eyesight may make the lame feel that he is not only a qualified listener, but also may be able to break through some vague doubts by the way.

According to what Lame said, he didn't know the big Yuan blue and white pot back then, the most expensive one was Yongxuan blue and white pot, but he thought this pot shape was a bit rare.

This is not surprising at all.Although Yuan blue and white is famous nowadays, in fact, the history of real research is very short.

During the period of the Republic of China, a pair of dragon-patterned elephant-ear vases once flowed out of the country. In addition to the decorations, there were characters on them, including the words "Zhengzheng 11 years". In the 50s, it was discovered by an American named Pope, which triggered large-scale research.

Since then, there has been a saying of "Zhizheng Yuan blue and white", which generally refers to Yuan blue and white made of Sumali green cobalt material and rich in decoration.

In fact, there were blue and white porcelains in the Song Dynasty, but they were very common and rough, as were some blue and white porcelains in the Yuan Dynasty.

Even the "Zhizheng Yuan blue and white flowers" are mostly dragon patterns, flower patterns and so on. There should be hundreds of such Yuan blue and white flowers in existence.

However, there are too few large-scale Yuan blue and white paintings with character story pictures!
Later researchers suspected that this was not a product of the period when the Mongol and Yuan Empire controlled the Fuliang Porcelain Bureau, because in the late period of the Zhizheng era, the porcelain capital had been occupied by Zhu Yuanzhang. It was only created during the period of Zhu Yuanzhang's control, so it is so distinctive and rare at the same time.

During the period of the Republic of China, there was little awareness of Yuan blue and white in China, and even if there was research, it could only be private.

By the beginning of the 80s, foreign countries had already done enough research on the most positive type of Yuan blue and white, but China was still far behind, and only a few experts and top collectors knew something about it.As for some scattered antique markets that have just emerged in China, few people know about them.

It is said that when the Sangu Maolu Yuan blue and white pot first appeared, it was traded as the blue and white of the Ming Dynasty.

"As a result, Zhong Qiansu told me that this is a large pot of Yuan blue and white flowers! He also told me what is called the most authentic Yuan blue and white pot, and said that this kind of one with story pictures of characters is definitely the best."

The lame man was stunned for a while after hearing this, before asking, "Where did you know all this?"

Zhong Qiansu thought for a while before answering, "The main thing is to listen to the radio. Do you know Turkey as a country? There is a Topkapi Palace, and there are dozens of Yuan blue and white boutiques!"

The lame man asked again, "Then you also heard the content of this picture from the radio, and then drew it out of your imagination?"

Zhong Qiansu was ambiguous, "Not all of them, you just say how the painting is?"

The lame man looked at the picture, and when he was looking for truth, "It's very good. However, it's easy to draw on paper, but it's much harder to draw on a big pot!"

Zhong Qiansu nodded, "I'm just drawing for fun."

Lame Master thought for a while, and then said: "What should I say about this picture? In terms of the ancient meaning in this painting, you have already surpassed me!"

Zhong Qiansu seemed very happy after hearing this, "Then you can stay and ponder, you have taught me so much before, so I will give it to you!"

At that time, the lame master really liked the pictures on this picture, so he accepted it.However, Zhong Qiansu then instructed, "The relationship between us is you, so please don't pass it on to others!"

The lame man naturally agreed.

However, from the beginning to the end, Zhong Qiansu did not mention whether he would make such a big pot.

Later, Zhong Qiansu and Lame Master left the ceramics factory one after another.

Only after Lame Master made high-quality imitation porcelain did he know that Zhong Qiansu and his younger brother Zhong Qiansheng, Zhong Yu's father, had already started the antique business.

But their business is very secretive.

Although Lame Master and Zhong Qiansu were together in Cidu, they rarely saw each other. He only heard Zhong Qiansu say something during a chance meeting.

Moreover, there are mixed sources of news about Mr. Lame, and it is also heard that the Zhong family seems to have close contacts with many people in the world.

As for Zhong Yu, he studied with Zhong Qiansu since he was a child, and his eyesight is also very good.Zhong Yu often went to the market, but he could only go in and out, and he was nicknamed "Zhong Kui in the ghost market".

After saying this, Grandpa Lame paused for a while, and then asked slowly:
"Do you understand?"

"I seem to understand two things."

"very good."

As the lame man said, he pressed the arm of the chair and stood up, took two steps but stood still, "Your eyesight really amazes me, so I can't help but want to ask you a question."

"Master Lame wants to ask, if you make another Xing Kiln Dayingku product and solve the two problems I mentioned, can I still distinguish between the old and the new?"

Lame Master nodded, "It really saves effort to talk to smart people."

"For now, no."

"Is that your answer?"

"Isn't it?"

"Does it count?"

"Hey, lame master, I'm just studying with you, why are you so serious."

The lame man stopped talking, walked to the door, and opened the door directly.

Yu Yao returned to the living room with Master Lame, Lao Zhou and Pu Jie got up, Lao Zhou said, "Let's go?"

The Lame Master said, "You two, what do you want to buy?"

"I'm very grateful to Master Lame for seeing it!" Old Zhou responded with a smile.Pu Jie said, "I listen to them."

Yu Yao immediately interjected, "I'm bothering the lame master, I'm taking my leave now!"

"Ah Fu, give it away."

After leaving Lame Master's courtyard, Yu Yao remained silent.He didn't expect that he just wanted to see the quality of the top and high-quality imitation in the porcelain capital, but he learned so much information by accident.

Mr. Lame made it very clear about the Xing kiln white-glazed holding pot.But regarding Uncle Zhong Yu's matter, Lame Master spoke very vaguely, but Yu Yao listened carefully and liked to think about it, so he really understood at least two things.
