Chapter 44: Variation Porcelain

Tang Qi continued: "Also, the styles of different generations often have some relatively small features. The styles of Chenghua official kiln porcelain generally have the following characteristics: The word "大" of the Ming Dynasty is slightly longer than the one stroke, "Ming" The day part of the character is often lower than the moon part, and the bottom horizontal strokes of the sun and the moon are basically the same as the left and right heights and leanings. However, the moon part never has such a long hook phenomenon, and there are also Chenghua The word "cheng" is generally longer, and there is a saying of "a little head, shoulders and waist", and these characteristics are almost absent on this cup."

Looking at everyone, Tang Qi said word by word, "Based on the above points, I think this Chenghua Doucai is an imitation."

"Papa..." As soon as Tang Qi's voice fell, an elderly man took the lead to applaud, and there was a burst of warm applause in the private room. Among them, Wen Wen shot the loudest. At this time, the smile on Wen Wen's face was bigger than that of the King of Biao. To be splendid, Tang Qi was brought by him, and Tang Qi's dazzling performance made Wen Wen feel that his face has risen sharply.

At this time, the anger on Zhu's face has also disappeared. It is good to pick up the leakage. It would be laughable and generous to treat the fake as a treasure. Naturally, the elders who can achieve their current status will not be the ones who can't put them down. Zhu is a little embarrassed. He smiled and said, "Sure enough, it is a hero who was born in a young age. Xiaoyou Tang taught us old guys a lesson today!"

Tang Qi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't dare, don't dare, I just got lucky to read a few books, and there are still many things to learn from the seniors."

Hearing this, the elders looked at Tang Qi with more and more admiration, and the elder who was the first to applaud suddenly asked, "I don't know where is Tang Xiaoyou's mentor?"

Before Tang Qi spoke, he listened to Qian Lao said: "He is Long Lao's apprentice."

"Are you Tang Qi? Tang Qi who found Momei Tu?" Everyone exclaimed, and Wen Wen's eyes flashed with surprise, and then there was a smile on Tang Qi's face.

Tang Qi was stunned. He didn't expect the news from the antique circle to spread so quickly, but he was relieved when he thought that the director of the Palace Museum Cai Tang Qi, Tang Qi nodded and said, "I am Tang Qi."

"Hey, the guy Lao Long really picked up the treasure, no wonder you are shameless and want to grab your apprentice." An old man said, his words made no secret of his appreciation for Tang Qi.

Tang Qi's face was reddish, and his heart was a little excited. Fortunately, everyone returned to the subject soon. An elderly man named Kang put the objects he had brought on the table and said, "This is the one I received in Shaanxi. Please appreciate the Wanli flat ear pot."

...

After that, everyone came up with a lot of good things. The elders would take the initiative to ask Tang Qi’s views during the tasting. They found that Tang Qi was very knowledgeable in ceramics and jade, and seldom made mistakes in distinguishing falsehoods or dating. Gradually, everyone unconsciously regarded Tang Qi as a person of equal status when they were talking. Tang Qi also felt that he had benefited a lot from listening to the conversation between the people, and the doubts that had arisen from reading the book were solved one by one.

The exchange meeting will soon enter the transaction stage. There are no rules in the transaction. You can bid as long as you are optimistic. The division between buyers and sellers is not so clear. At this time, the restaurant is like a vegetable market, and the voices of counter-offers are coming. To be honest, each of these objects on the table made Tang Qi's eyes enthusiastic, but what made him helpless was that most of them were only exchanged and not sold, but Tang Qi had already had his own goal.

A middle-aged man surnamed Jiang placed a porcelain jar in front of him. The appearance, shape, and ornamentation of this porcelain jar all seemed to match the official Xuande porcelain of the man’s mouth, but its glaze was bright, as if it had just been fired. Moreover, there is no style knowledge on the above. Everyone knows that Ming Xuande porcelain has the most style knowledge. It is impossible for official kiln porcelain to be without style.

But Tang Qi, who had his fingers, knew that this porcelain jar was indeed an official Xuande porcelain. After thinking about it for a long time, Tang Qi had a vague idea in his heart, so Tang Qi said: "Mr. Jiang, do you intend to transfer this porcelain jar?"

Hearing that all the elders looked at Tang Qi in surprise, and the man surnamed Jiang was also stunned. This porcelain jar has basically been sentenced to death by everyone. Why does Tang Qi still want to start? Tang Qi's previous performances he saw Inside, he hesitated for a while. The man said: "Brother Tang, I found this item at the ghost market in the capital last year. It cost 200,000 yuan at the time. Look..." Since he was unsure, the man came. The lion opened his mouth.

Tang Qi smiled and said: "Mr. Jiang, you can see that this object is a modern imitation. 200,000 may not be worth it. I am studying porcelain recently. The imitation of your porcelain jar is a bit special. I want to buy it and study it. , If it’s 200,000, then forget it."

Mr. Jiang hurriedly said after hearing this: "Brother Tang, they all say that the price is overwhelmingly charged and you pay the price, and you can take it if it is appropriate."

Tang Qi said: "Five thousand."

Mr. Jiang was stunned, and he was ecstatic. He indeed bought this porcelain jar in the ghost market, but it only cost three thousand. It is already a big omission to resell fifty thousand, but Mr. Jiang's face is full of ecstasy. Looking embarrassed, he smiled bitterly: "Brother Tang, you slashed too hard with this knife. Okay, just make friends. You take it!"

Tang Qi smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother Jiang, then." Tang Qi took out the cash checkbook Wen Wen helped him to handle, tore off a piece of the cash checkbook, filled in the number, and handed it to Mr. Jiang.

"Xiao Jiang, you are a bit unkind. Your jar is probably not worth that number!" After the two had finished the transaction, Old Qian said to Mr. Jiang with a dissatisfaction. The antique shop has the rules of the antique shop. After others start asking for the price, others can't talk, let alone bid or bargain, so even if the veterans deliberately remind Tang Qi, they can't speak.

Mr. Jiang smiled and did not speak. Qian Lao just complained and turned to Tang Qi and said, "Show me your jar." Tang Qi smiled and handed the porcelain jar to Qian Lao.

"Huh!" Mr. Qian's expression changed at this sight, and he frowned, "This is indeed an old object, not a modern imitation, but how can Xuande porcelain have no money?"

Hearing Qian Lao's words, everyone's eyes were attracted, and an elderly man said: "Old Qian, show me!"

Hearing this, Qian Lao handed the porcelain jar over and said, "Yes, Lao Bai, you are an expert in this field, look at it."

After checking carefully with a magnifying glass, Mr. Bai frowned and murmured: "The porcelain is delicate, the carcass is firm, the glaze is even and fine, and the white is blue. This is indeed an authentic Xuande official. Porcelain, it is impossible for future generations to imitate it like this! But it makes no sense..." Mr. Bai was also lost in thought.

"This pot has a five-claw golden dragon standing on the clouds. It has the meaning of good weather. This is the emperor's personal product. Only official kilns are qualified to fire. Private kilns must be decapitated, but Xuande official porcelain should not be ignorant. Besides, this glaze cannot be so new..."

All the elders fell into deep thought after seeing it, and the room fell into silence. The man surnamed Jiang's expression was a bit ugly. Although the elders didn’t say anything, the hesitation revealed in the words was enough to prove the porcelain jar he had just sold. Not simple, did Tang Qi know it a long time ago? The man thought of this and looked at Tang Qi, and he saw Tang Qizheng looking at everyone with a smile on his face.

"Brother Tang probably doesn't just want to buy it back and study it, right? I wonder if Brother Tang can help you out?"

The sound of Mr. Jiang’s words awakened the contemplative people, and then all the elders looked at Tang Qi with piercing eyes. When they encountered an object that made them uncertain, it was more uncomfortable for these collectors than a cat's paw. Old Bai said: "Xiao Tang, do you see something, tell me!"

Tang Qi glanced at Mr. Jiang with a little hesitation on his face. Mr. Jiang saw Tang Qi's concerns and smiled: "It's okay, Brother Tang, don't hesitate to say that what we collect is eyesight, and what should be yours is yours. "

Hearing that all the elders looked at Mr. Jiang with admiration, Zhu smiled and said: "Little Jiang has a good mentality!" Mr. Jiang smiled modestly when he heard the words, and the only trace of unwillingness in his heart also disappeared, and he could be present. The appreciation of the old man is worth it for him no matter how much money he spends.

Tang Qi smiled at Mr. Jiang before he said: "Antiquities have been controversial since ancient times, and it is difficult to adjust. The boy's opinion of the family may not be correct. If there is something wrong, please call the teacher Haihan." They all nodded with a smile, motioning Tang Qi to continue.

Tang Qi continued: "I think this is an official porcelain of the late Xuande period. The Xuande emperor died and the orthodox emperor was just erected."

There was an uproar as soon as Tang Qi spoke in the elegant room. Everyone looked at the porcelain expert Bai Lao. Bai Lao suddenly patted his forehead, and said annoyed: "Why didn't I expect this!"

"Lao Bai, what do you think of it!" Zhu Lao said anxiously.

After a long while, Old Bai opened his mouth in the anxious gazes of everyone: "Xiao Tang, you have picked up a big leak!" Old Bai sighed before continuing: "I once read such a record when I was searching for information. Emperor Xuande Before the collapse, the official kiln was ordered to fire a batch of porcelain. When this batch of porcelain came out of the kiln, Emperor Zhengde had already ascended the throne. Everyone knows that the three emperors of Ming Zhengtong, Jingtai, and Tianshun did not have any knowledge of the official kiln porcelain when they were in power. It’s hard to say what dynasty the porcelain is, and this batch of porcelain is very special, with the characteristics of being durable and never fading. Many scholars call it mutated porcelain and also an orphan."

"Orphan?!" The elders looked shocked, while Wen Wen and Tang Qi were confused.

Mr. Bai nodded and continued: "Because this batch of porcelain has no style and bright glaze, people unconsciously mistakenly believe that it is an imitation, so it has not received enough attention, and the damage was serious. As far as I know, it has spread. There are only two pieces now, one in the British Museum and the other in the United States. Many people in China have only heard about it, so I didn’t even think about the porcelain at all when I saw this cup." Take a look at Tang Qi.

"Lao Bai, why do you say it is an orphan?" Wen Wen asked curiously.

Mr. Bai replied: "Because these porcelains cannot be imitated."

Wen Wen was surprised: "How is it possible, now that the counterfeiting technology is so sophisticated, there is still something that can't be imitated?"

Mr. Bai smiled and said, "Our ancestors’ wisdom is not as simple as you think. Many things are beyond the explanation of current science. Many people have studied this batch of porcelain and have not figured out the reason for its formation. It is because of the raw materials. In the Ming Dynasty Xuande, the official kiln used in the previous official kilns was brought back from the West by Zheng He called Su Ma Liqing. The porcelain glaze fired from this material was bright, crystal clear and gorgeous, but the Emperor Zhengde ascended the throne. This material will be used up in the future, but this alone is not enough to explain."
