Happy Tycoon

The porcelain in this big iron box is not big, it's all small and medium wares, so there are a lot of porcelain in this box.

　　 In addition to the thatch for protection, each porcelain is covered with a layer of oiled paper, and the inside of the oiled paper is covered with a layer of tissue paper. Obviously, among the little devils who stored this batch of treasures, there are masters who are proficient in antiques. Otherwise, with the temperament of those big soldiers, it is absolutely impossible to protect these porcelains so well.

Just pick up a porcelain wrapped in greased paper and tissue paper. Judging from the shape of the porcelain, the porcelain should be a bowl. After carefully uncovering the greased paper and tissue paper, what appears to be a bowl, to be precise, it is a blue and white. Bowl with twisted branches and floral pattern.

　　 This bowl has the typical characteristics of blue and white porcelain in the early Ming Dynasty, that is, the carcass is thicker and heavier than the blue and white porcelain in the Yuan Dynasty. However, this bowl has a high degree of porcelain, so although the carcass is thick and heavy, it is dense and fine white. At first glance, it is clear that this is definitely not a porcelain that can be fired in a civilian kiln. Yang Jing could judge this point even without using the holy ring appraisal.

　　 The green material used in this bowl is more faint, which is obviously the domestic green material used. In history, the blue and white porcelain in the early Ming Dynasty was more faint, which became an important evidence for the identification of blue and white porcelain in the early Ming Dynasty.

　　 Yang Jing turned the bowl over, but the style at the bottom of the bowl surprised Yang Jing.

　　 "Hongwu Year System".

　　 There are only a few words on the bottom of the bowl, but these four words made Yang Jing's heart beat wildly involuntarily.

　　 This blue and white bowl with flowers and branches turned out to be an official kiln porcelain from the Hongwu period in the early Ming Dynasty, and it is also an official kiln porcelain with style! This is simply the feeling of pie in the sky.

　　 You need to know that before Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, ancient Chinese porcelain was not identified by the emperor's reign. Of course, this statement is only based on the porcelain found so far. Song porcelain, including Yuan porcelain, did not use the emperor's reign as the symbol. This can already be confirmed. The use of the emperor's reign as the symbol of money began in the Ming Dynasty.

　　 It's just that the emperor's reign was used to identify whether it began in Hongwu or Yongle. No one can be sure about this.

　　Because there is no official kiln porcelain with a year mark during the Hongwu period, and folk kilns are also very rare. Only those with blue and white writing "fu" and "shou" are seen. In addition, the blue-white porcelain jar with the date "made on February 27, the seventh year of Hongwu" found in Yushan, Jiangxi province, has the symbol inscribed on the belly of the jar. It is an extremely rare vessel with a clear Hongwu date.

　　 It is for this reason that archaeologists unanimously believe that the use of the emperor's reign as the symbol of money began in the Yongle period.

But the appearance of this blue and white bowl with entwined branches and flowers directly broke this belief. That is to say, once this bowl was born, then the Chinese ancient porcelain had the beginning of using the emperor's reign as the name of the emperor, and it would no longer be the Emperor Yongle. It's his father Zhu Yuanzhang!

This discovery is definitely a breakthrough in the study of ancient Chinese porcelain, but it is no wonder that no matter it is Hongwu or Yongle, they are very serious fathers and sons. No matter how awesome Yongle is, I have met Hongwu. You have to call "Father" honestly!

　　Since Yongle used the emperor's reign as its name, he probably learned it from his father.

　　 Although it is an estimate, the possibility is huge! Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di are both talented and roughly emperors. Lao Tzu is heroic and heroic, and what is reflected in this pair of masters is the most vivid one. However, the reason why Emperor Yongle is so powerful, without his father Zhu Yuanzhang's teaching, it is obviously impossible.

　　 Therefore, since childhood, Zhu Di has learned a lot from his father, and then it is no surprise that even the official kiln porcelain is made with the year number as the name.

　　 It was not judged that the use of the year number to make the identification did not originate from Hongwu the Great, because later generations of these archaeologists did not find any Hongwu official kiln porcelain with the year number at all. Now there is such a serious Hongwu official kiln blue-and-white porcelain, and it still has a year. If this is not a breakthrough discovery, what is it?

　　 is only measured from the archaeological value, the archaeological value of this small blue and white bowl with entwined branches and flowers is even higher than the two large jars of Yuan blue and white figures!

　　 After appraisal with the holy ring, Yang Jing was really satisfied after he determined that this blue and white bowl with tangled branches and flowers pattern was indeed produced from the official kiln of Jingdezhen in Hongwu in the 21st year.

　　 "Good stuff! Really good stuff!" Yang Jing thought happily.

　　 In fact, this bowl is not only of archaeological value, but its value is also extremely high. This is the only official kiln blue-and-white porcelain with the Hongwu period found in the world so far. It is unique in the world. How high do you think it is?

That blue-and-white blue and white porcelain with a sky-high price of 840 million Hong Kong dollars, Xiao Heyue chasing Han Xintu plum bottle, there are still three in the world. This blue and white porcelain with the Hongwu reign is the only one in the world. How much does it cost to sell?

　　 It is no exaggeration to say that just this one bowl is enough for Yang Jing to be satisfied.

　　 But it is a pity that this big iron box surprises Yang Jing obviously more than that.

After putting this Hongwu blue-and-white bowl with entwined branches of flowers and the two large jars of Yuan blue-and-white figures together, Yang Jingyou casually opened another wrapped porcelain. As a result, this porcelain also brought Yang Jin a lot of attention. Surprise.

　　 This is a blue and white lion ball heart pressed cup from the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty. From the perspective of the shape, ornamentation or other aspects, this is another official kiln porcelain fine product of the Yongle period.

　　 If it was just this press cup, Yang Jing would not be surprised, but what about a set of four press cups?

That's right, in the porcelain that was discovered next, Yang Jing found three other hand-pressing cups with different patterns, one was the Yongle blue and white hand-pressing cup with the Huaxin Neishu, and the other was the Yongle with the Mandarin Duck and Wolian Neishu. There is also a blue and white hand-pressing cup, and another Yongle blue-and-white hand-pressing cup with bamboo and stone ganoderma lucidum. Counting the Yongle blue-and-white hand-pressing cup of the Double Lion Hydrangea Inner Book that was first discovered, these four hand-pressing cups with exactly the same shape and specifications constitute a set of four cups.

Among them, the Yongle blue-and-white hand-pressed cups of the Yuanyang and Wolian Neishu Years and the Bamboo and Stone Ganoderma Neishu Years, although they are also collected in the Palace Museum, are imitated during the Wanli period, especially the bamboo and stone Ganoderma lucidum Neishu. The hand-pressing cup is not collected even in the Palace Museum, and no one has ever heard of anyone collecting this kind of hand-pressing cup in other places.

　　 And these four pressing cups are all authentic Yongle official kiln porcelain, their value is extraordinary.

In addition to this set of pressing cups, Yang Jing also discovered a total of more than 30 various official kiln porcelains from Hongwu to Wanli, from Hongwu blue and white porcelain to Yongxuan blue and white porcelain, Yongxuan underglaze color, Jiawan multicolored porcelain almost covers the official kilns of all periods of the Ming Dynasty.

　　 Of course, the biggest discovery of this is the set of four Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cups!

　　 Throughout the Ming Dynasty, the development of its porcelain can be said to have reached the highest level. In the Ming Dynasty, China's porcelain truly achieved a pattern of blossoming flowers.

　　 From blue and white porcelain to underglaze and overglaze, to monochromatic glaze and variegated glaze, there are countless porcelains in the Ming Dynasty. But throughout the Ming Dynasty, the most famous porcelain is the Doucai porcelain of the Chenghua period!

　　 Chenghua Doucai Chicken Crock Cup is the most famous porcelain during the Chenghua period. Of course, this Chenghua Doucai Chicken Crock Cup is composed of three aspects, Chenghua-Doucai-Chicken Crock Cup.

　　 Chenghua refers to the reign title of Ming Xianzong Zhu Jianshen, which was used in the Ming Dynasty for 23 years.

　　Doucai, also known as funny color, is a treasure of Chinese traditional porcelain craftsmanship. Created and burned during the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, the Doucai in the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty is the most respected, and it is a kind of decorative variety that combines underglaze color and overglaze color.

According to historical records, doucai began in the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, but Xuande’s doucai porcelain is extremely rare. Therefore, the doucai of the Chenghua period is the most respected, and it is also called Cheng "kiln color" or "blue and white" in Ming and Qing literature. Five colors in between".

　　 Chenghua Doucai porcelain pattern painting is handed down for generations, and the content is mainly flowers, birds, and figures. Its method is to first use blue and white to outline the outline of the painted pattern on the white porcelain body. After the glaze is fired at high temperature, press different parts of the pattern on the glaze and fill in different colors according to the needs, usually three to three. Five kinds, finally fired into the color furnace at low temperature

　　 Chenghua bucket color can be divided into point color, over color, dye color, fill color and so on. In addition to the large bowls of Chenghua Doucai, most of them have small and unique shapes, such as cup cups, chicken bowl cups, and small handle cups. There is also a lidded jar painted with seahorses or group flowers, with a blue and white character "10,000" on the bottom.

　　 As for the chicken crock cup, it is called the chicken crock cup because the porcelain cup is shaped like a crock and the main decoration is chicken stone. There are also many Chenghua Doucai wares with chicken stone as the decoration, such as chicken stone patterned hat cup, chicken stone pattern goblet, chicken stone pattern bowl, chicken stone pattern pot, chicken stone pattern tea tray and so on.

The Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cylinder Cup is to lie on the outer wall of the foot bowl with a diameter of about eight centimeters. After lightly tracing the outline of the pattern with blue and white thin lines, it is glazed into the kiln and fired at a high temperature of about 1300 degrees to form a carcass. Then fill the reserved blue pattern decorations with red, green, yellow and other colors and then enter the kiln for low-temperature roasting for the second time.

The outer wall is divided into two groups with Peony Lake Stone and Lancao Lake Stone. One group depicts a rooster standing proudly, a female and a chick pecking at a centipede, and two chicks playing each other; the other group depicts a rooster. A hen and three chicks pecked at a centipede. The pictures are vivid and full of interest.

　　 Chicken Crock Cup is one of Ming Chenghua Doucai Cups, drinking utensils. The shape is open mouth, shallow abdomen and lying feet.

Strictly speaking, the name of Chenghua Doucai Chicken Crock Cup is really a bit earthy compared to the names of other porcelains in the Ming Dynasty or Qing Dynasty, but it is just such a name. Porcelain with soil and dregs is ranked in the forefront of Chinese porcelain in value, and there is also a very touching story about the origin of this kind of chicken jar cup.

　　Emperor Chenghua don't look at the scenery after becoming the emperor, he is a generation of emperor, but who knows that Zhu Jianshen was actually a lonely and helpless child when he was young.

　　 When Zhu Jianshen was less than two years old, his father Mingyingzong Zhu Qizhen was captured by the Valian because of the Tumu Fortress change, and the emperor became his uncle. So this child is helpless in the deep palace, danger is everywhere, and his uncle will get rid of him for the throne at any time. From the age of two, loneliness and fear have been entwining this child continuously. For him, childhood is gray. And in this gloomy childhood life, the only thing that can bring him comfort is the court lady Wan Shi.

　　 Wan Shi, who was just a court lady at the time, was seventeen years older than Zhu Jianshen, but it was this woman like a mother who had been with Zhu Jianshen, comforting him, and taking care of his life. In his young heart, this person who guards him day and night is the one he can rely on.

　　 Later, Zhu saw that the crown prince of Shen was abolished, and the tree fell and scattered. The people around him packed up and left. Only the maid named Wan stayed by his side from beginning to end.

　　 Later, Zhu Jianshen, his father Zhu Qizhen, launched the "change of seizing the door" and regained the throne. Then Zhu Jianshen became a great treasure after his father died and became a generation of emperor.

　　Although he became the son of emperor, his tragic childhood experience made Zhu Jianshen have a deep desire for family affection. The love of his life is the Wan Zhen'er who has been with him all the time.

The chicken cylinder cup was made by Zhu Jianshen to please his seventeen-year-old Wan Guifei ~www.readwn.com~ According to research, the pattern of the chicken cylinder cup is derived from the picture of the son and hen of the Song Dynasty, which represents the emperor's commemoration. When he was young, Concubine Wan Gui took care of his years, hoping for family harmony and longevity for a son.

　　 This kind of chicken jar cup, which supports the deep friendship of Emperor Chenghua, belongs to the royal wine cup of Emperor Chenghua. It is very difficult to make this kind of porcelain, and it is also the emperor's imperial wine cup, so this kind of chicken jar cup is extremely precious. Even at the end of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Wanli was eager to own a Chenghua Doucai Chicken Crock Cup, and the price at that time could already be described as a sky-high price. Shenzong Record: "Shenzong fashion food, there is a pair of Chenghua colorful chicken tank cups in the front of the palace, which is worth 100,000 yuan."

This small cup was born of royal blood and was only used by the emperor and a few concubines. According to historical records, at that time, Emperor Chenghua in addition to this kind of chicken bowl cup reward was given to several envoys of the country who came to pay tribute. Besides, even his closest ministers never rewarded him. And because the emperor had very high quality requirements, he almost kept a hundred of them, and before the Republic of China, there was no possibility of leaving the palace at all.

　　 So this kind of small cup has almost no existence in the world. In modern times, there are only ten Chenghua Doucai Chicken Crock Cups known all over the world!

At the China Porcelain and Handicraft Spring Auction held at Sotheby’s Hong Kong Island on April 8, 2014, the famous collector Liu Yiqian from Shanghai and the sea, after eight rounds of bidding, finally sold the Meiyintang Collection at a price of 28124 million Hong Kong dollars. The Chenghua Doucai Chicken Crock Cup!

　　 And now, in this big iron box, four sets of Chenghua Doucai Chicken Crock Cups were found in one breath. This discovery is really no less than the two Yuan blue and white pots just discovered!
