    Fatty Jin looked Zhou Xia up and down with his small eyes for a while, and then asked, "Can you please ask this old gentleman to help me appraise my baby?"

    After Zhou Xia was promoted, he was disgraced during his first appraisal, but he was not angry. He would encounter many more doubts like this in the future. It is human nature to judge people by their appearance.

    Zhou Xia just smiled and asked him, "I can understand that Mr. Jin is not confident in his collection?"

    Fatty Jin quickly replied, "No way, I have absolute confidence in my collection. That's not what I meant, I just think"

    Zhou Xia smiled and said, "I'm too young, right! I think Mr. Jin is not much older than me, so he has absolute confidence in this collection. Please introduce yourself first, and this collection."  The origin of the collection and your own evaluation of the collection. Regardless of whether the final identification result is true or false, I promise to give you a satisfactory answer."

    Fatty Jin wisely did not mention this. He actually regretted it deeply at this moment. An appraiser who can work in such a big auction company must have some skills in everything. Compared with an ordinary collector like him who became a monk halfway, what's the matter?  Also a little bit higher.

    "My name is Jin Duoduo, from Sichuan. The collection I brought this time is a green glaze jar from the Tang Dynasty passed down by my family. This jar has a clear and crystal-clear glaze color and a round and simple shape. It is a rare product. If you have  If there is anything wrong, please ask Teacher Zhou to correct me." In this way, Jin Duoduo's attitude suddenly became more correct.

    Xu Zhendong and Liu Yuqing had been watching from the side, wanting to see how he responded. Unexpectedly, Zhou Xia immediately cleverly told the big fat man to shut up and stop mentioning the replacement appraisal.  And watching Zhou Xia fool him, it felt like he was on a TV show and the treasure hunter was introducing himself.

    Zhou Xia smiled and said, "I've heard it a long time ago. My hometown is also from Sichuan. My fellow countrymen, it's not easy to come all the way to the East China Sea. This porcelain of yours does look good. Can I get it appraised?"

    Jin Duoduo originally guarded his big pot like a hen protecting its chicks, but now he quickly let it go and replied, "Of course, Teacher Zhou, please do as you please."

    Zhou Xia didn¡¯t take advantage of it, so she asked him again, ¡°Is this painted pottery pot really passed down from your family?¡±

    Jin Duoduo said hurriedly, "Yes, you see there are still traces of use! We didn't know it was a treasure before, it was used to hold things!"

    After this question and answer, Zhou Xia understood that Jin Duoduo's appraisal level was indeed not very good. Of course, it might also be because he was too subtle and obscure.

    Zhou Xia does not consider this large jar to be porcelain, so pottery and porcelain are made of different materials and fired at different temperatures.  On the outside, there is a considerable difference in color and hardness.  In addition, there are many differences, such as water absorption, density, light transmittance, etc.  It can also be said that porcelain is an upgraded version of pottery. Of course, the value of porcelain is much higher than that of pottery.

    In Zhou Xia¡¯s view, this large jar is a product of the transition from pottery to porcelain. Although it does not meet the standards of porcelain, it already has a vague style and characteristics of porcelain.

    Putting aside these things, in fact, the color of this large painted pottery pot is quite good. It is painted with yellow-green glaze and thick ink. It feels like an ink painting. Even a picky person like Zhou Xia feels that it has a different look.  The beauty is inside.

    It is particularly worth mentioning that the decoration method of this jar is very special.  The large jar, which is about 20 centimeters high, has a regular and solid shape, with a very chic personal style, rough and generous, and free and easy.  But because of the special glaze color and delicate texture, it adds an unusually charming and soft atmosphere to this extremely sturdy pottery.

    Zhou Xia then carefully evaluated other aspects of this pottery. The opening was delicate and the glaze was not bright because of poor storage. It was considered quite good if it was not damaged.  And judging from the texture exposed at the bottom and some bumps, it is indeed in line with the characteristics of Tang Dynasty painted pottery.

    Although ancient porcelain has not been popular in China, its price has not been rising.  There are also many fakes flooding the market, because it is easier and cheaper to make than the exquisite porcelain of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

    This is the first appraisal Zhou Xia has conducted since he was promoted to the appraiser of Tiandi Auction Company. There is absolutely no room for mistakes in the first-round pick.

    Zhou Xia¡¯s own appraisal determined that this large jar was probably a work from the mid-Tang Dynasty, because at that time, the development of porcelain was in a transformation stage.

    He asked the system to help, and the identification result given by the system was, "This item was created in 756 AD."

    Zhou Xia secretly thought it was okay, his appraisal was correct.

    ?? 756 AD was the period of the Anshi Rebellion when the Tang Dynasty went from prosperity to decline.  In the fourteenth year of Tianbao, that is, 755 AD, An ShizhiRebellion broke out, and the following year, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty entered Shu, and Concubine Yang was given the death penalty of Maweipo.  Several great poets, Li Bai, Du Fu, and Wang Wei, also experienced changes in their fate. Some wandered around the world, some were displaced, or some were living on their last legs. In this year, history was divided into two.

    Whenever Zhou Xia reads this piece of history, he can¡¯t help but sigh.

    At this time, he hoped that the system would give a reminder that the cultural relic was a precious cultural relic.

    ??The price of ancient porcelain such as Gein is really not high in the market. Compared with the porcelain of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it is simply as high as heaven and earth. It is also very easy to collect it.

    "It's a pity that the system ignored it. Zhou Xia felt strange at the time. It stands to reason that for such a major historical moment as the Anshi Rebellion, the cultural relics of that period, if nothing else, have great historical significance and are of great collection value.

    This large yellow-green glazed jar may have been used by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Longji, when he entered Sichuan!

    The system still ignored him. Zhou Xia could only say that he took it for granted.

    Jin Duoduo and the others are still waiting for his appraisal results!

    Zhou Xia cleared her throat, and then said, "This yellow-green glazed pottery is quite good, with a simple shape, bright color, and its age"

    Xu Zhendong quickly stopped him from continuing, "Zhou Xia, wait a minute. Can you let me have a look first? You tell me first, and then I look at it. Then I feel there is no mystery anymore!"

    "Master Xu, please!" Zhou Xia chuckled. He regarded this as Xu Zhendong's best compliment to him.

    Jin Duoduo kept his eyes wide open, guessing in his heart what Zhou Xia's appraisal result was.  At the same time, he had to think hard about what the elderly Master Xu meant by what he said. For a while, Fatty Jin was also troubled.

    When Xu Zhendong was making the appraisal, Zhou Xia stepped aside. Since Xu Zhendong told him to stop talking, he naturally wouldn't tell Jin Duoduo.

    But Liu Yuqing beside him didn't have to worry about this and asked him quietly, "Zhou Xia, do you think this piece of painted pottery is worthy of being auctioned?"

    Zhou Xia thought for a moment and replied in a low voice, "There are not many opportunities for ancient porcelain like this to appear at auctions, and the transaction amount is generally not high. But as for this piece of pottery, I feel pretty good about it, whether it is  Both the shape and color of the vessel have merits. More importantly, I think we can do something about its age."

    This was somewhat beyond Liu Yuqing¡¯s expectations, and it also surprised her. ¡°I only saw that it looks pretty good. What year do you think it is?¡±

    Zhou Xia continued her train of thought and whispered to her, "I conclude that this large jar with yellow and green glaze dates from the mid-Tang Dynasty, and was most likely made by the Qiong Kiln in Sichuan during the Anshi Rebellion. So,  The key depends on how we plan. If it is related to Tang Ming Emperor Li Longji, there is a lot to be done. Didn't he just go to Shu to take refuge during that time?"

    Liu Yuqing immediately understood what he meant, nodded and said, "Yeah, look at the color, the rich artistic flavor, it is definitely not an ordinary work. Maybe the great artist and musician Tang Xuanzong specially ordered someone to bake it because he missed Yang Yuhuan so much.  Yes, I think this beautiful yellow-green glaze, which is as beautiful as splashed ink, can only be thought of by someone with artistic talent like Li Longji when he misses his deceased lover so much."

    Zhou Xia felt that she had a real connection with her, so he continued, "However, after Tang Xuanzong arrived in Sichuan, he caused several changes due to his extreme extravagance and lust. Although they were suppressed, the great Tang Dynasty in its glorious heyday also experienced many changes.  Because of the Anshi Rebellion, it declined at its peak. From then on, the good days were gone, and the fate of great literary figures such as Li Bai, Du Fu, and Wang Wei also changed accordingly. In an era when right and wrong were no longer present, warriors were arrogant and domineering, and the prestige of the court was no longer there, quietly leaving the palace.  Taking some utensils out is also a common thing. Not to mention that Li Longji was later dismissed, became the Supreme Emperor, left Sichuan, and finally died in depression. This batch of porcelain that witnessed the poignant relationship between Tang Minghuang and Yang Guifei also disappeared among the people.  The prosperous age has just returned to the world."

    Liu Yuqing couldn't hide her joy, smiled and nodded, "That's how it should be! Such a collection of great historical significance must have a high historical and cultural value. We should let more people understand this period of history and feel the culture carried by the cultural relics.  Tradition. This is also the true meaning of our auction and dissemination of history and culture."

    "What Manager Liu said is absolutely true. This is my obligation and responsibility. I am willing to assist Manager Liu to do this meaningful job." Zhou Xia said with a smile, and he was surprised to find that the two of them were so in sync with each other.  .  Xu Zhendong's appraisal results haven't come out yet, and the two of them have already agreed on how to build momentum for this collection.

    "With your help, I think our auction company's business will reach a higher level. I would like to thank you first." Liu Yuqing said happily.?She also felt the same. The tacit understanding between the two did not form suddenly, but at this time, it felt particularly obvious and unusually in tune.

    Although this collection may not have been used by Li Longji, Emperor Ming Dynasty of Tang Dynasty, Liu Yuqing didn't mind, it was enough to have this piece.  If Xu Zhendong's side can identify that this is indeed an old thing from the Qiong Kiln in Sichuan during the mid-Tang Dynasty, then the publicity plan can be finalized.

    Zhou Xia needless to say, he has determined that this is something from the Anshi Rebellion, and it is reasonable to give it more historical significance.  These days, it is not easy to find a cultural relic from that time.

    When Yu Xiaoyu and Wang Yanli were watching Xu Zhendong's appraisal, they also glanced at Liu Yuqing from the corner of their eyes, biting their ears and whispering. However, they did not dare to peek and could only secretly guess in their hearts that these two  Do people have legs?
