    Chapter 143 A sudden turn of events

    Zhou Xia does not think that this Xuande furnace was made in the third year of Xuande.  ////

    But there is still a trace of luck in his heart. If it is another celebrity, or at an important historical moment, the Xuande furnace may be called a precious cultural relic!

    At this moment, he was going to take the Xuande furnace and appreciate it carefully. It would be better to use the system to identify it and make supporting evidence to see if this thing is a precious cultural relic.

    What Zhou Xia didn¡¯t expect was that someone had faster hands than him.

    It was a man about thirty-four or five years old. He had a pair of black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and looked very elegant.  He was squatting in front of the stall and had an advantage over Zhou Xia. He stretched out his hand and snatched the Xuande stove in his hand.

    Zhou Xia was speechless. It seemed that competition was everywhere.

    But at this time, he could only wait, and it was impossible to actually fight with that person.

    He casually picked up a blue and white bowl imitating the Wanli Ming Dynasty from the stall, but out of the corner of his eye, it still fell on the Xuande stove. He was also evaluating in his heart whether the precious cultural relic identified by the system was the Xuande stove.

    ¡°Anyway, it¡¯s definitely not the blue and white bowl in his hand.

    The color of this blue and white bowl is relatively bad. It is not blurry, but very clear. It can be seen at a glance that the material used in this blue and white bowl is not the returning green material of the Wanli period, but the modern one.  Replicas of materials.

    As for the Xuande stove, Zhou Xia was sure that it was not the authentic Xuande stove from the third year of Xuande. Even though there is still no standard Xuande stove, Zhou Xia thought that if the authentic Xuande stove performed like this, it would not be worth it.  People are so crazy about it.

    Seeing the joyful expression on the bespectacled man's face, Zhou Xia also knew that he had to do something, otherwise, the Xuande Furnace might be his.

    Before that, Zhou Xia still wanted to do an appraisal.

    Based on the visual inspection, Zhou Xia felt that this Xuande was most likely a Qing imitation.

    After the Xuande furnace came out, nine out of ten Xuande furnaces circulated on the market were imitations.  In the late Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, real Xuande furnaces were quite rare, let alone the following years.

    Wu Bangzuo, the minister of the Ministry of Industry who supervised the production of Xuande furnaces, is the most typical representative. In order to seek personal gain, he summoned the craftsmen who had originally cast Xuande furnaces, privately re-imitated Xuande furnaces according to the original craftsmanship, and sold them to the private sector.  wealth.

    This batch of imitation Xuande stoves is also of the highest quality among all imitations.

    ¡°If this Xuande furnace is from this time, it may have some value.  But to say it is a precious cultural relic is still too reluctant.

    But when Zhou Xia looked at this Xuande stove, it looked nothing like it. Its quality was far inferior to even the Xuande stove imitated by Wu Bangzuo.

    In this era, Zhou Xia only saw the Qing Dynasty at the earliest.

    During the Qing Dynasty, the trend of imitating Xuande furnaces became more and more fierce. It can be said that there has been a history of imitating Xuande furnaces in all dynasties, and the quality is also different.

    Zhou Xia didn¡¯t want to waste too much effort, but also wanted to test the limits of the archaeological identification system attached to him.

    ??Just from a distance, let the system conduct an appraisal on the Xuande stove.

    The system quickly gave the result, "This work was created in 1842 AD."

    This also proves that this Xuande furnace is an accurate imitation of the Qing Dynasty.

    By coincidence, at this time, the man with glasses turned the Xuande furnace over again, and Zhou Xia took a look at the bottom of the furnace.

    Xuande year system.

    He saw that the Xuande furnace had such a signature and logo, but the authentic Xuande furnace was cast by Emperor Xuande himself.  It is an absolute official kiln work, and the handwriting is definitely much more accurate than the calligraphy on this Xuande furnace.  How to say this word!

    The taste of craftsmanship is too strong, it doesn¡¯t matter whether the writing skills are poor or the level is too poor!  Anyway, it¡¯s okay if it¡¯s not the real thing.

    There is nothing wrong with the shape. Since it is a Xuande furnace, I will basically refer to the most authoritative "Xuande, Ding and Yi Illustrations" to make an article. The 117 styles of Xuande furnaces listed in it have that simple and elegant simplicity and beauty.  Even if it is an imitation, it must be pursued diligently.

    In addition, from the external appearance, the copper quality of this Xuande furnace is definitely not like the wind-milled copper that has gone through multiple refining processes.

    The man with glasses also seems to have some experience in appraising Xuande furnaces.

    He gently scraped the surface of the Xuande furnace with his hand, revealing the??Things are not radiant and dazzling. Looking at them from different angles, you can feel the appearance of various metallic lusters.

    This is also a very important point in identifying Xuande furnaces.

    In addition, the color of the appearance, the weight of the Xuande stove, and the appearance of the batter on the outside will all be included in the important factors to examine the authenticity of the Xuande stove.

    Zhou Xia didn¡¯t have to think about it that much, since he knew that this Xuande furnace was created in 1842 AD.

    ?? 1842 AD, the 22nd year of Daoguang in the Qing Dynasty.

    It is an era of humiliation.

    The first thing Zhou Xia remembered was that the First Opium War broke out this year.  Afterwards, the defeated Qing government was forced to sign the Treaty of Nanjing, which was humiliating and humiliating to the country, marking the beginning of China's modern history of humiliation.

    It is indeed an important year, but this seems to have nothing to do with this Xuande furnace.

    Zhou Xia continued to think about what deeds and characters he had not remembered yet during the period of 1842.

    The amount of information is too great and there are too many possibilities. Even with the help of the system, Zhou Xia still can¡¯t understand it at all.

    "Senior Brother Zhou, what are you looking at?"

    While Zhou Xia was thinking carefully here, Su Xiaoru saw that he had not followed the team, so she turned back to look for him.

    "Just take a look! By the way, Xiaoru, let me test you. Do you think there is anything noteworthy in this stall?" Zhou Xia's mind was spinning very quickly, and he immediately began to squeeze Su Xiaoru's labor force.

    Su Xiaoru was very happy, and squatted down to study it with interest.  She felt that Zhou Xia had already chosen something good, and it was really testing her eyesight.

    She is happy to accept such a test, because it means that she can see good things and make faster progress.

    It¡¯s just that Su Xiaoru didn¡¯t find anything too good at this stall.

    ¡°It¡¯s no wonder she¡¯s there, it¡¯s really because most of the things on this stall are new imitations, and some old imitations are quite difficult.

    Su Xiaoru observed carefully for a while, and then personally handled a few things. Finally, she focused her attention on the Xuande stove, which the bespectacled man was still studying with interest.

    Su Xiaoru pointed at the Xuande stove and pursed her lips towards Zhou Xia. Although she didn't say anything, the meaning she wanted to express was obvious.  In this entire stall, the Xuande stove is the most valuable.

    Su Xiaoru thought in her heart that Zhou Xia might want her to help in acting and get the Xuande stove.

    She was also thinking about how to snatch food from the tiger's mouth.

    Su Xiaoru doesn¡¯t have much experience in this area, but since it was requested by Zhou Xia, she felt that it was necessary to give it a try.

    When the two of them were struggling, the man with glasses still looked like he couldn't put it down.

    At this time, the sharp-eyed stall owner, a middle-aged man in his mid-forties, also noticed this.

    He also knew deep down that the Xuande stove among the items in his stall had the highest value.

    Judging from the current situation, everyone is not stupid, and they have all set their sights on this Xuande furnace.

    When Zhou Xia and Su Xiaoru didn't speak and only made eye contact, Xie Xiaoling also turned back to look for them.  She didn't know much about rules. She just saw that they hadn't moved away for so long, so she asked them if they liked the things here.

    Xie Xiaoling is also a little depressed, because everything she likes, without exception, is sentenced to death by Zhou Xia.  She also wanted to see what kind of thing Zhou Xia could like.

    Su Xiaoru whispered to her that Xie Xiaoling didn't have as much experience as her, although she didn't want to cause trouble to them.  But his eyes still unconsciously fell on the Xuande furnace that was being repeatedly appraised in the hands of the man with glasses.

    All this fell into the eyes of the stall owner, and it made him feel happy.

    Zhou Xia knew that things might be going bad from the moment Su Xiaoru came back.

    Sure enough, it was as he expected.

    But, this is nothing.

    What Zhou Xia is most confused about right now is which item the system has identified as a precious cultural relic.

    He can¡¯t tell now.

    Except for the Xuande stove, he had touched everything on the stall in front of him.  They are basically modern imitations, so naturally they have no special value. This is confirmed by Zhou Xia.

    It is very unscientific to insist that if it is placed in the future, it may be a precious cultural relic.

      Unless it is because of Zhou Xia's hand, but in this case, there will be a paradox.  Those are not things that Zhou Xia has handled. They may become precious cultural relics. Why is it just one of them here?

    Before the man with glasses put down the Xuande stove, Zhou Xia glanced around again, trying to find out if he had really overlooked something.

    If it really wasn¡¯t there, he could only confirm that the Xuande furnace was a precious cultural relic, and he would have to try his best to get it.

    Suddenly, Zhou Xia felt as if he had caught something.

    But this feeling is fleeting.

    It made him feel a little unpredictable.

    "Boss, how did you sell this stove?" The man with glasses finally finished the appraisal and started talking to the boss.

    The stall owner was also very confident and quoted him a price of 20,000 yuan.

    "Your price is too unkind!" The man with glasses replied immediately, "Who doesn't know that the Xuande furnace now has the lowest price among all the bronzes in the past!"

    Why don¡¯t the stall owners know this? All this is due to the fact that after Xuande in the Ming Dynasty, there were too many imitations of Xuande stoves, and the real Xuande stoves disappeared and never appeared in people¡¯s sight.

    But at this time, with Zhou Xia and the others here, the middle-aged stall owner was very confident.

    However, he didn't think it was a real Xuande stove. He only said to the man with glasses, "Brother, please be careful. This is an old imitation Xuande stove. The quality is quite high. The price is not high at all. If you don't want it,  , some people are rushing to get it!"

    When the stall owner said this, he turned his attention to Zhou Xia and the others who had been guarding here.

    I heard the boss said it was an old imitation Xuande stove, and the man with glasses believed it. If he dared to say that it was a genuine Xuande stove, I'm afraid everyone would come around and slap the stall owner.

    The man with glasses also understood the hint from the stall owner at the back, and said he felt a little strange as to why these people were always here. It turned out that they also had thoughts about this Xuande stove.

    But at this time, if we follow the industry rules, these young people will have a chance only if he breaks down the negotiation with his boss first.  It's just that there are too many unruly people now, so he can't help it.

    At that moment, the man with glasses grabbed the Xuande stove in his hand and said to the stall owner, "I really want it. Boss, please give me a sincere price."

    The middle-aged stall owner boasted about his stuff to the sky, "My price is quite generous! You see, the quality of this Xuande stove is still very high. The color alone is enough to make similar people shy"

    Zhou Xia felt very strange after hearing this.

    The more this stall owner is like this, it proves that the price of this Xuande furnace is not high.  Can such a Xuande furnace really be a precious cultural relic?  But Zhou Xia really couldn't find anything else, which troubled him endlessly.

    "Xiao Ru, tell me, what are the boss's sacks filled with?" Xie Xiaoling also realized something, and felt that their arrival had caused some waves in the Xuande Furnace transaction.  Indirectly raising its value.  So, she tried to find a way to change the target.

    "Whatever things there are, they should be worthless!" Su Xiaoru replied, "If they were valuable, he wouldn't have put them out and sold them!"

    After Zhou Xia heard this, his heart moved.

    Yes, he just thought about the things on the stall, but ignored the contents of the sack next to him.

    Zhou Xia secretly cursed his own worth as a pig's head. No wonder, he felt that this Xuande furnace did not look like a precious cultural relic. The good stuff might be in this sack!

    However, when Zhou Xia really looked at the sack placed next to the stall, he felt confused again.

    Judging from the shape and size of this sack, it should indeed be something of little value.

    Broken porcelain pieces.

    Today¡¯s stall was quite busy, so these broken porcelain pieces were not taken out.

    Speaking of this porcelain piece, the price is not high, but it is very helpful for both novices and experienced experts to study porcelain.

    A lot of things can be seen from the broken pieces of porcelain.  Especially the porcelain body inside the porcelain, what the rough body looks like can be seen clearly among the broken porcelain pieces.

    But you can¡¯t see this in complete porcelain.

    Therefore, porcelain pieces are often the easiest to identify.

    Zhou Xia is also wondering, if there are precious cultural relics in these broken porcelain pieces, what kind of porcelain pieces should be worthy of such evaluation?

    Among the five famous kilns in the Song Dynasty, Ru, Guan, Ge, Jun, Ding?Or is it more precious, the Chai porcelain that only exists in legends and is worth a thousand pieces of gold?

    "Eighteen thousand, no more!" The bargaining between the stall owner and the man with glasses was still going on quite fiercely.

    The man with glasses replied, "Eight thousand, this price is already quite high."

    "I'm sincere. Someone offered me 20,000 yuan before and I didn't even sell it! If I hadn't been going back in two days, I wouldn't have sold it so cheaply," the stall owner said.

    But what moved Zhou Xia was the stall owner¡¯s accent, which had a distinct Henan accent, like someone from Zhengzhou.  When Zhou Xia was working in an auction company, he had been in contact with collectors from various places all year round, and he also had some understanding of the accents of various places.

    Zhengzhou, Henan, is the place where firewood kilns most likely once appeared.

    Although there are still doubts as to whether the firewood kiln existed or not, no concrete evidence has been found.  There is no proof that it is the porcelain and kiln site of Chai Kiln, but this kind of porcelain that is only in legend is still deeply yearned and longed for by countless people who love porcelain.

    Zhou Xia thought of the records about firewood kilns in relevant materials.

    This Xuande furnace is said to be the Xuande Emperor who ordered Lu Zhen, the royal craftsman of the palace, and Wu Bangzuo, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, to refer to the styles of famous porcelains from Chai Kiln, Ru Kiln, Guan Kiln, Ge Kiln, Jun Kiln and Ding Kiln in the imperial palace.  And historical books such as "Xuanhe Bogu Illustration" and "Archaeological Map", design and supervise the production of incense burners.

    This shows that during the Ming Dynasty, there might have been firewood kiln porcelain in the royal collection, but no one can tell the true situation.

    There are people in Japan who say that they have an authentic product from the firewood kiln. It is a sky-blue lily vase, which was given to them by the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

    Regarding this firewood kiln, Zhou Xia had learned about it when he was studying in school.

    It is said that Zhou Shizong once ordered porcelain for the royal kiln and wrote a poem, "After the rain, the sky breaks through the blue clouds for the first time, and the color is like the future."

    The name "Chai Kiln" was first seen in Cao Zhao's "Gegu Yaolun" in the Ming Dynasty, and later in "Yuzhitang Tantao", "Secret Collection of the Qing Dynasty", "Things Silk Pearl", "Wuza Sister", and "Museum Essentials" after Wanli  Books such as "Changwu Zhi" and "Changwu Zhi" also talk about this kiln.

    "Chai kiln is azure and moist, delicate and has fine lines, and is mostly made of coarse loess, which is rare in modern times." Ming Cao Zhao's "Ge Gu Yao Lun" recorded this. According to this description, it is somewhat similar to the Ge kiln porcelain.  They are all fine lines that open the film.

    "Wood kilns are the most expensive and rare in the world As green as the sky, as bright as a mirror, as thin as paper, and as loud as a chime, the unglazed bottom shows the original rough yellow color of the porcelain embryo." This is Ming Wen Zhenheng's "Long Things"  "Zhi" can be said to be the most accurate description of Chai kiln porcelain.  Of course, this is also a rumor. Wen Zhenheng himself probably has never seen a firewood kiln.

    ¡°Moist and delicate, with fine lines and exquisite colors, it is the crown of all kilns Chai kiln porcelain has been unavailable for a long time, and the fragments obtained are also treasures and used as clothing and hats; Chai kiln porcelain pieces are dazzling.  , like a flying arrow.¡±

    This is the record of the firewood kiln in "Jingdezhen Pottery Record" by Qing Lanpu and Zheng Tinggui. What they mean is that even if they only get a fragment of the firewood kiln, they can treat it as a treasure and inlay it with gold and silver jewelry to show its quality.  status.

    The only thing Zhou Xia could think of where porcelain pieces were precious cultural relics was the Chai Kiln.

    Chai kiln can be said to be "the crown of all kilns", and it is also the only porcelain kiln in China's history named after the surname of a monarch.

    This firewood kiln is an eternal mystery that has puzzled the history of Chinese ceramics.

    Thinking of this, Zhou Xia felt particularly excited.  (To be continued.
