Play treasure master

Chapter 88 This Eunuch Is Very Smart

The reason why it is not an ordinary folk Pao ware literary play is not only because of the complicated production process, but also because of its artistic level.

Moreover, the age is not shallow.At least Yu Yao only took a few glances and concluded that it wasn't something within a hundred years.

The reason why antiques are valuable is the same as this name, mainly because of two points.

A dot is "ancient" and has a year.This year is not pure, it carries the history and culture.This is the essence that makes many players flock to it.

There may be all kinds of people who don't like antiques, but those who like antiques are basically people who like history and culture.

The other point is "play", which refers to the value of appreciation, and a little deeper, the value of art.

It is difficult to call it an antique because it has only a year and no artistic value.

For example, a rough folk pottery bowl from the Han Dynasty has been handed down to this day. It is 2000 years old, and the year is okay, but if it is put on the antique market, it will not be worth much.

Only the year, no artistic value, it can only be called cultural relics.Although artifacts contain curios.

Conversely, if a thing has only ornamental value, but the year is not enough, then it can only be used as a literary play.Strictly speaking, it should be called Modern Wenwan.Because the scope of Wenwan is very large, including ancient Wenwan.

Although the scope of Wenwan seems to be larger than that of antiques, it cannot be said that antiques are ancient Wenwan.Because some ancient things, such as sacrificial utensils, Buddha statues, furniture, etc., all contain historical, cultural and artistic value, and are antiques, but they cannot be called cultural ones.

This paw vessel square pen holder is not only an antique, but also an ancient cultural toy.

Yu Yao first took out a folding fan from the jar.

Of course, he also took a look when he took it out, and found that the bones and surface of the folding fan were very ordinary, so he closed it and gently put it aside.

Looking at the bottom of the pen holder, although there is also a circle of bases inlaid, the bottom in the center is also a gourd, and the navel can be seen.The navel is the small concentric circle at the bottom of the gourd.Some players today call it PY, which is not very nice.

There is a navel, which means that the original base was used when making this gourd pen holder.

It's hard.Because the gourd flowers and fruits fall out, it is round, and it is relatively easy to grow a part of the mold into a square; but if even the bottom is made into a square plane, the mold must be very elegant, and the technical requirements are much higher.

A look of shock flashed across Yu Yao's eyes.

Shocked, not because of the use of the original; difficult, does not mean impossible.Shocked, is a square seal.

This seal is also overprinted with a mold.Convex, Yangwen.

Four-character regular script: Jiu Gong Gong system.

This seal is in the middle of the navel and the edge.

Yu Yao held the gourd and pen holder and looked up.

At this time, Jin Ding, the shop owner, was looking at him with a smile a few steps away.And Pu Jie, holding two copper coins to compare and check, he picked up a leak of Jingkang Yuanbao, which is not less entertaining.

"Boss, isn't this made of a gourd?" Yu Yao took advantage of the situation and asked.

Jin Ding took two steps forward, "Yes, Pao Qi, have you heard of it?"

"Oh, I've heard of it. But I haven't seen a square one."

"Fang's is not easy to do, it takes a lot of work. Also, have you seen the seal below?"

Yu Yao's heart skipped a beat!Originally, he saw that the pottery pen holder was placed inconspicuously, and there was an ordinary folding fan inside, and thought that the boss hadn't seen the way, but unexpectedly, he mentioned this seal when he came up.

"What do you mean?" Yu Yao asked bravely.

"The nine kung fu are obviously laborious and countless! Nine is the largest singular number, which describes countless! It shows that this craftsman was very careful and careful at the time. It is a good thing that he finally made such a fine product!"

Yu Yao let out a long breath, "Boss, it seems that you are very proficient in patriarchal instruments!"

"It's so-so. I usually play miscellaneous games and know a little bit about various things."

If you play complicated, it is often difficult to go deep.Yu Yao said it nicely, but he understood in his heart that he actually didn't know much about paw utensils!It can also be seen from his explanation that the most troublesome thing about this pen holder is not the square shape, but the flower pattern and seal.

And he didn't pay much attention to this pen holder, saying it was a good thing but placed it randomly.Most importantly, he already knew the content of the seal, but took his self-righteous analysis as the correct answer.

It is also understandable that the stamps of old things are mostly seal script rather than regular script.Moreover, gourds are common materials after all, and gourds seem to be difficult to be elegant.

The history of Pao ware is indeed not long, roughly starting from the end of Ming Dynasty.In the beginning, it was indeed among the people, not a high-end thing.

However, during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, Pao Qi played a game of "turning a grass chicken into a phoenix" and entered the court.

This is because Emperor Kangxi was particularly fond of gourds, so he produced a large number of objects for the imperial court and rewarded many princes and ministers.

This pen holder is something from the Kangxi period.

Of course, the gourds that Emperor Kangxi used to make gourds could not be used casually. He ordered that Yingtai Fengze Garden grow gourds!At the same time, special personnel are also arranged for management, design of mold sets and tools, and artistic processing.

This person in charge of managing the gourd is the person who usually meets Kangxi the most.

His name is Liang Jiugong.

The people who usually met Kangxi the most were not mothers and children, not concubines and beauties, not to mention princes and ministers, but eunuchs.

Liang Jiugong was the chief eunuch of the Kangxi Dynasty.Those who have seen the Kangxi Dynasty, the prototype of Li Dequan is Liang Jiugong.

However, Liang Jiugong is not as stupid as Li Dequan.In the 39th year of Kangxi's reign, there was a Taoist decree about the selection of eunuchs for Prince Yinreng. It mentioned a sentence: That is to say, Liang Jiugong is very smart, and I will always take precautions when he is assigned.

Finally, Kangxi chose an honest eunuch for the prince.

The emperor said "precautions from time to time", but it was just a rhetoric to find an honest eunuch for the prince.Because Liang Jiugong has been by his side for so many years, if he felt uncomfortable, he would have replaced him long ago!
However, it must be true to say that he is smart.

Smart people usually do things well. Kangxi was very satisfied with Liang Jiugong, especially in making gourd utensils.

Letting Liang Jiugong be in charge of growing gourds is not a random decision, because Liang Jiugong has his own sideline business outside the palace, which is growing gourds.

From this, there is also a mixed number, called "Liang Hulu".

Yu Yao only remembered some historical materials, and he didn't understand them comprehensively. He even wondered if it was because of "Liang Gourd" that Kangxi fell in love with Gourd?

But these are not important anymore. From the patina, craftsmanship, and the seal of "Nine Gonggong System", this square patriarchal pottery can be sure that this is a royal patriotic pottery from the Kangxi Dynasty!
