The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

Chapter 81: Time to withdraw!

  "The things are all new, and there are many artifacts of the same variety. They will not be the playthings of the owner of Fengxianglou.

   In his time, the wealthy merchants from Chengdu, Shancheng and other places and the local wealthy men were probably the buyers of these porcelains.

The owner of Fengxianglou must have done a lot of business before, so he went to Jiangnan and Jiangxi province confidently and spared no effort to buy Longquan celadon and Jingdezhen celadon. On the way, he also thought of a way to buy 10 pieces of white glaze prints from the Ding kiln. A bowl with twisted branches and peony pattern and a few celadon-glazed castor-shaped wavy plates from Yaozhou kiln.

   But just as the owner of Fengxianglou rushed back to Suin, the political situation in the Southern Song Dynasty changed drastically!

   The good stuff was bought back through untold hardships. What he didn't expect was that his new product did not cause much sensation, and few people came to ask for the price!

  Fate is almost gone, who will buy luxury goods?

  Due to the war, the master of Fengxianglou never had a chance to sell the porcelain. The Mongols are here!

  Before fleeing, he was worried about the precious porcelain. It was impossible to take it away, and it was even more impossible to leave it to the Mongolian army. If it was destroyed, it would be his own life!

  There is only one way to think about it: bury them, and let them see the sun again when the situation improves. "

Zhang Nan was telling stories, and Guan Xingquan was listening as a story, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but interject: "That rapeseed field should be farmland. There is not even a brick nearby. How can I go there? Buried?"

   Guan Xingquan can tell.

   Of course, for nearly a thousand years, even if there were broken bricks and tiles in the past, it may have been buried deep in the ground by time or dealt with by later generations.

In ancient times, building materials were precious, and sometimes even tomb bricks were used to build houses—this habit persisted until after liberation. If you don’t believe me, go and see some old houses in the countryside that are not directly occupied by people or warehouses. Some of the bricks are even chronological bricks from tombs in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties.

In commune buildings such as the Great Hall, the use of tomb bricks is even more common!

(Blood bats are on the fence of an old house in a local village. A large number of old bricks from the Nanliang period have been found. In 11 years, they will look good for hundreds or even hundreds of dollars. Unfortunately, I found out that it was 15 years old. It’s not very valuable anymore. It’s not worth losing money. I demolished someone’s yard and dumped it. I found out that I could make a fortune a few years ago. What a pity! And that yard was built in the Republic of China. The bricks were obviously unearthed before liberation. The transaction police generally don’t care. Of course, if you buy and sell newly dug tomb bricks, then wait for the public meal!)

   "I haven't said yet, what anxious!"

   Wrapped the things and put them back in the cardboard box, the story continues: "He planned to bury it in his back garden, but after thinking about it, he changed his mind.

   Wherever the Mongolian army went, they burned, killed, looted, and Rongcheng was killed. How could his Fengxianglou master’s mansion avoid the fate of being dug up three feet? !

   After repeated measurement, he buried the more than 1,000 treasures in a seemingly unremarkable wasteland.

The owner of    Fengxianglou had no chance to return after escaping from Suin's hometown, including all the insiders who died in the war. The secret died forever with life, and Fengxiang Tower had long since turned into a pile of rubble, and these more than 1,000 treasures remained here. "

   "The story is well told!"

After Zhang Nan finished talking about the story of "Fengxianglou Qianxin", he sat down on a chair and said to Guan Xingquan: "You look down on me too much for this story. In fact, this story is more in line with the taste of the common people, for us. For a'professional' person, the following story is more appropriate."

"Tell me."

Zhang Nan walked to the window and said: "I can't remember whether there was a king named Zhao in the Southern Song Dynasty, but in the Northern Song Dynasty, there would be Zhao Ji who was the hapless Song Huizong Zhao Ji. He was once the King of Sui N County. Then luckily, His elder brother Song Zhezong and Zhao Xu died of illness at the age of 24, and it was his turn to the throne."

   "It's not good luck, it's probably bad luck!" Guan Xingquan interjected, "Being his prince well, Zhao Ji might not die in Five Kingdoms City."

   "Brother Guan, it's amazing, even Five Kingdoms City knows!"

   "Hey, we were also good students back then."

   Guan Xingquan is a rare faint look.

"This Song Huizong was also called the Emperor Daojun in the history. There is a Guangli Temple in Huisui that was built in the Tang Dynasty and it is very famous. That'Guangde Temple'."

   said, pointed his finger at a monastery on Wolong Mountain in the distance outside the window.

  " I think this Song Huizong was once the king of Suining County in Suin. After ascending to the throne, he was grateful for the blessing of Mr. Cihang and made him the emperor, oh, it is the Bodhisattva of Guanzi.

   Song Huizong probably caused the kiln officials to fire a batch of fine porcelains in Longquan, Jiangnan and Jingdezhen, Jiangxi Province, and dedicated them to the seat of the Great Master Cihang in Guangde Temple, Suin. Moreover, this practice of using imperial kiln porcelain to enshrine the Grand Master Cihang of Guangde Temple is likely to be adopted as a royal practice and inherited by later emperors of Song Dynasty.

   When Emperor Xiaozong of the Song Dynasty became the emperor, he once bestowed the founder of Guangde Temple with Zen Master Keyou as the ‘Master of Yuanjue Huiying Cigan’. It is estimated that a number of exquisite porcelains were fired there, which was once again given to Suin Guangde Temple.

   At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Mongolian army invaded Xichuan, and the Mongolian and Song armies had been in Xichuan for a long time. In order to avoid war damage, this batch of porcelain, together with the bronze ware used for sacrificial ceremonies, was buried underground by the monks of Guangde Temple, making this batch of treasures safe and sound in the war.

   Those monks would not bury them in the monastery. The place of burial might be all the fields of the monastery, but the monks were also from Song Dynasty and did not survive in the end.

   In this way, those dragon and phoenix patterns can be explained reasonably. "

   Guan Xingquan said with a smile: "This story is more reasonable than the one just now. It's a bit powerful, and the history is so clear!"

   "Haha, that is, Jianan likes to listen to me telling stories the most. Actually, there is one last story, Brother Guan!

There are also many fine pieces of Song porcelain here. There are also many ceremonial and ceremonial furnishing porcelains~www.readwn.com~ such as the'gui-style furnace','鬲-style furnace','ding-style furnace', including the'cong-style bottle'. It is an imitation bronze ritual vessel.

   There are also those plates, bowls, and cups that seem to be daily practical utensils. In fact, many of them are carved with lotus petals on the surface, which have incomprehensible origins with the prosperity of religion at that time.

   After the late Northern Song Dynasty, the imperial court advocated Neo-Confucianism, and the wind of worshiping ancient times prevailed, and an atmosphere of elegant worship of antiquities emerged among the literati group and the upper class.

  In keeping with this trend of the times, Longquan kilns created many antique bronze and jade-style porcelains. From the analysis of this batch of porcelain, most of them are representative works of Longquan celadon, and they will not be used by ordinary people.

Moreover, judging from the scale and the quantity of single-variety porcelain, it is unlikely that wealthy merchants and officials will own it. The most likely thing is that the government centrally purchased them and used them as ritual vessels for ritual activities during the Spring and Autumn Festivals or major festivals. . "

   There are several celadon amphora alone. Whose house keeps so many? To sell it?

  " And, Brother Guan, this sacrificial item can't be used a few times a year, and it's still new even after decades of use.

   As for those dragon and phoenix patterns, they may have been bestowed by the emperor.

   Then the Mongols came, and then, just like that, no more. "

  ……

   The two people in the hotel waited for an extra day before Xiang Weirong arrived in Suining in a brand new Ford commercial vehicle. It took more than a day than originally planned-I encountered a road collapse on halfway and waited for almost two days!

   Shu Road is difficult to climb to the blue sky, it is normal to encounter such a situation when entering the river and leaving the river.
