Text Chapter 150 No sleep tonight

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    It has been raining, and the weather forecast says it will continue for several days.

    Zhou Xia has no interest in going out, and his nightlife is not rich to begin with, so he simply stays at home and enjoys the rare tranquility.

    ??It¡¯s a pleasure to look through the auction catalogs and surf the Internet.

    At around ten o'clock, Zhou Xia received a call from Professor Zhu Xiufang. She first said apologetically, "I'm sorry, this "Cuckoo's Cry of Blood" painting has been delayed for so long."

    Zhou Xia quickly expressed that he didn't mind. His mind was not on the painting at the moment.

    Then, Zhu Xiufang asked Zhou Xia if she was free tomorrow, and she returned the "Cuckoo's Cry of Blood" painting to Zhou Xia.

    Zhou Xia replied that he was free. He was not under the pressure of work now and was quite free in controlling his time.

    Zhu Xiufang said yes, and then asked him the specific time. She herself would have no classes in the first two periods tomorrow morning.

    Zhou Xia said that he would just go to her house to find her at that time.

    Zhu Xiufang has no objection.

    Zhou Xia was able to keep his composure and did not ask them what the final appraisal result was. Anyway, he would know it when the time came, so he would not say anything.  Moreover, as far as Zhou Xia is concerned, he is full of confidence in the "Cuckoo Crying with Blood". Even without their approval, he feels it doesn't matter.

    And Zhu Xiufang then asked him if he had received anything new recently?

    Zhou Xia secretly wondered when Professor Zhu Xiufang became such a gossip.  However, he still answered truthfully, "No, I haven't received any news about Internet law works recently."

    Zhu Xiufang smiled and said, "I'm asking. It's not just about online works, it's also about porcelain and so on!"

    Zhou Xia did not answer immediately.

    It has been some time since the last meeting with Zhu Xiufang, Fang Xue and the others. During this period, he and Xu Yaohui also obtained a lot of good porcelain.  He couldn't figure out what Zhu Xiufang wanted to ask about.

    Seeing that Zhou Xia didn't answer, Zhu Xiufang asked, "Is there anything inconvenient to say? If so, forget it."

    Hearing what she said, Zhou Xia hurriedly replied, "There's nothing inconvenient to say. It's just that during this period, I partnered with someone and made a lot of porcelain. I don't know which one is better!"

    Zhu Xiufang burst out laughing when she heard this, "Then it's all settled! I really want to know what your talent is in porcelain. You won't even tell me to focus on net works."

    Zhou Xia thought to herself that she still remembers this matter!  I think so, he is a dignified professor at Tunghai University.  He took the initiative to invite, but Zhou Xia didn't show much respect and politely declined. How could he not be impressed?

    "I did the math and found that I actually didn't get many pieces. Most of them were made with others. There was a large Ding kiln bowl that was very damaged, a Hongwu blue and white bowl, a blue and white Chuji Zun from Chenghua in the Ming Dynasty, and a Xuande bowl.  A yellow-glazed gold bell bowl. And a cowpea red gong wash." Zhou Xia didn't hide anything, and spoke out in full.

    Zhu Xiufang on the other side of the phone simply didn¡¯t know what to say. She actually wanted to ask whether Zhou Xia was a monster.  There are so many good things, but they are still porcelain. No wonder he is not willing to focus on online works. No wonder he was hesitant just now.  Zhu Xiufang also knew it.  From the most long-term perspective, porcelain is more valuable than the works of Wangfa. It is said that rare things are more valuable.  In terms of quantity alone, there are far fewer porcelains from one era, but there are a huge number of online paintings by colleagues.

    With Zhou Xia¡¯s talent in porcelain, it is undoubtedly the wisest choice to focus on this porcelain.

    Zhu Xiufang praised him a few words, but that was not what she wanted to know. She then asked, "Think about it, are there any other porcelain?"

    Zhou Xia somewhat understood this. Could it be that Zhu Xiufang was referring to the beautiful porcelain tiles he just received today?

    But the question is, how did she know it so quickly?  Did Su Xiaoru tell her or something?

    Zhou Xia made random guesses without any ambiguity, and immediately replied, "I found some porcelain pieces in the antique city today. They are very exquisite and beautiful, but I haven't been able to identify which kiln the work is from!"  The professor also has a lot of research on porcelain, right? Why don't I bring it over tomorrow and Professor Zhu can help me take a look? The other porcelain is not in my hands for the time being."

    Zhu Xiufang replied, "It's not really research, but it doesn't hurt to take a look. By the way, don't they all think that this porcelain piece comes from a wood kiln?"

    "I can't say for sure. I can only say that it has some characteristics of the legendary firewood kiln. Whether it is firewood porcelain or not requires careful research."Xia Xia's answer was flawless.

    Only then did Zhu Xiufang reveal, "Professor Zhao Xiangbo came back to Tunghai University with great fanfare to find people to conduct research on firewood kilns. I just found out about this. However, I haven't been able to see the real thing yet. The one in Professor Zhao's hand  I guess the porcelain shards must have flowed out from you too!"

    Zhou Xia replied, "Yes, they are all porcelain shards on a bowl."

    Zhu Xiufang said with emotion, "It's no wonder. It's a pity that such a good thing broke. Although I couldn't see it with my own eyes, Zhao Xiangbo and the others said it was made of Chai porcelain, so the quality is definitely not bad." Zhou Xia  You also know that I am the main painter. They study porcelain and will not call me for seminars. Anyone who does research on collecting antiques in this thousand-year-old wood kiln wants to take a look, and so do I. Zhou Xia, your hand  There are still porcelain pieces in it, so that¡¯s the best thing.¡±

    Zhou Xia could actually imagine the content of her words.

    Zhao Xiangbo has always been a troublesome person, and it is reasonable for him to get angry with Liu Yuanshan and return to Donghai University to conduct research with great fanfare.  Zhou Xia remembered that he himself said that he was the vice president of Donghai City Chai Kiln Research Association.

    With the help of the platform of Tunghai University, which has a large number of literature resources for query, Zhao Xiangbo can do a lot.

    Actually, Zhou Xia felt that their work of checking the information should have been completed long ago.

    Before seeing the actual firewood kiln, all the firewood kiln research association could do, apart from bragging, was to conduct some theoretical and academic discussions.  They should have found out all the records about firewood kilns and firewood porcelain in history.

    There are many different views and opinions on firewood kilns, and I am sure that they will not be completely consistent.

    They just need the final physical object for verification.

    Thinking about it, they have all seen a lot of porcelain tiles similar to those made from wood kilns, and their immunity to this is already very high.

    The pieces of porcelain that Zhou Xia found now are quite consistent with what Zhao Xiangbo imagined Chai porcelain to look like. It can be seen from his excited look in the afternoon.

    It is quite normal for Zhao Xiangbo to return to Tunghai University to gain more support.

    Zhou Xia also feels that academic theorists like Zhao Xiangbo are probably the easiest to produce results.  Of course, it is not the result of talking nonsense and irresponsibility, but the result of rigorous appraisal, thorough study of all aspects of the situation, and verification one by one.

    And the one who was facing him tit for tat was Liu Yuanshan.

    Liu Yuanshan's academic and theoretical attainments are naturally inferior to those of Zhao Xiangbo and his Chai Kiln Research Association, and even the professors who specialize in archaeological identification research.  Liu Yuanshan has to spend a lot of time on business and cannot focus solely on learning.  However, he also has some advantages, that is, he has seen more real objects.

    But if it is placed on top of the wood kiln, Liu Yuanshan and the others will obviously suffer a lot, because no matter how many other porcelain they have seen before, firewood porcelain is something they have no way of touching.

    ¡°If Zhou Xia hadn¡¯t come into being, Liu Yuanshan and the others wouldn¡¯t have been able to see porcelain that looked more like a firewood kiln.

    Zhou Xia guessed that when Zhao Xiangbo was in action, Liu Yuanshan and the others would definitely not be idle. It was a certainty to recruit familiar people to conduct research and appraisal.

    Two old men from the family, Zhou Xia and Zhou Shutong, originally studied online paintings, but when they heard the news about the birth of Chai Kiln, they rushed over immediately. This scene is very similar to that of Professor Zhu Xiufang.  , therefore, Zhou Xia was used to it and was not surprised.

    Not only Zhou Xia, but Zhu Xiufang also expected it, after Zhao Xiangbo, Liu Yuanshan, Xu Zhendong, Zhou Shu and several influential collectors openly promoted and spread it.  The news of the birth of this wood kiln will soon spread throughout the collecting circle in Donghai City, and it will even affect collectors across the country and even the world. It is only a matter of time.

    Tonight, I don¡¯t know how many people will lose sleep over it, especially in Donghai City.

    Zhu Xiufang also said to Zhou Xia, "If this piece of porcelain is finally confirmed to be from a firewood kiln, then you will have received a great merit, Zhou Xia. Maybe you will be famous in history in the future."

    "What Professor Zhu said made me so ashamed. In fact, I didn't do anything. It just happened to happen! There is still a long way to go in the future. Such good luck, once is enough." Zhou Xia felt that he could not take on the responsibility.  Despite such boasting, he still wanted to keep a low profile at this juncture, otherwise, carrying such a halo would be a burden on his future collecting career.

    In view of this, he also reminded Zhao Xiangbo and the others not to disclose his own information for the time being.Go ahead and try to keep the topic about the tile itself.  Presumably, what people like most is the mysterious and infinitely beautiful firewood kiln, not the person who discovered it.

    "The fact that you have such a clear understanding shows that all of us are correct." Zhu Xiufang replied with a smile. She thought about it. If you praise Zhou Xia too highly, it will be very detrimental to his future growth.  As the saying goes, the higher you lift, the harder you fall.  If you know the people most familiar with the circle, it doesn't matter if you know the truth.

    After they talked about the conversation again and told Zhou Xia to be careful on the road tomorrow, Zhu Xiufang ended the call.  She actually wanted to see these exquisite and beautiful porcelain pieces right away, which Zhao Xiangbo praised as the most characteristic of the firewood kiln, but she could not torment Zhou Xia too much. At night, she would inevitably have an uneasy sleep again. Fortunately,  There are probably not a few people in the same situation as her.
