The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

Will the two small black bowls dug out of a small broken tomb be national treasures? Although the names sounded pretty powerful, Xiang Weirong still didn't believe it. Eight?? One Chinese Network = ≤≤≤

As soon as he returned to the compound, Xiang Weirong took out two small bowls from his pocket and looked at the sunlight.

Although behind the plastic wrap, he slowly saw the doorway.

"Interesting, this bowl is like a layer of engine oil." He handed the bowl he took out from his right pocket to Zhang Nan.

In the sun, the inside of the small bowl is like Xiang Weirong said, as if there is a layer of motor oil hanging: the whole bowl seems to be covered with large and small light spots, and with different angles, those light spots are constantly changing.

The other bowl is much simpler: the inside of the bowl is as if it has just been washed with water, it is shiny and smooth, and the most interesting thing is-there are a large and a small two and a half overlapping golden leaves at the bottom of the bowl!

The cling film has good transparency, even if it is separated by three or four layers, you can see the veins of the leaves at the bottom of the bowl!

"This is a wooden leaf applique bowl from Jizhou kiln. This craft has now been lost.

The two leaves are natural. It is said that the leaves are corroded and pasted on the porcelain body, and then baked in the kiln. After the firing is successful, the leaf surface and veins of the leaves can be clearly left on the porcelain.

There are half-leaf and one-leaf, and there are also two-leaf and three-leaf overlapping, rare varieties.

Quite magical, with clear-textured leaves appearing on the jet-black and shiny glazed surface, which is very interesting. "

Zhang Nan said that the other two also came over, and the more they watched, the more interesting they became: it is hard to imagine how the porcelain work was done in the first place!

"These two small bowls are actually two tea bowls. Song people like to order tea and fight tea, and they think it's best to use this kind of bowl."

Zhang Nan's words made Xiang Weirong a little confused: drinking tea in a black bowl?

It's awkward to think about it—it's almost the same with a white porcelain cup, but it's not impossible.

Knowing the doubts of his brother-in-law, Zhang Nan said: "The ancients drinking tea is different from what we do now. There are so many tricks, and it's not just flushing with boiling water.

By the way, Xia Milli, the drinking method is a bit similar to your hometown.

Before the Tang Dynasty, tea was to be boiled with spices and condiments such as green onions, ginger, dates, orange peel, cornel, and mint. After the water was boiled, the soup was defoamed.

In the Tang Dynasty, it basically became Sencha: first boil water and add a small amount of salt, wait for the water to boil, pour the tea leaves, boil and drink water.

And until the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, this tea drinking was not popular among ordinary people. The real popularity of tea drinking began in the Song Dynasty.

In Song Dynasty Wu Zimu’s "Menglianglu", tea was raised to the height of "seven things to open the door", saying, "The person who is not worthy of every day, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar tea", the overly elegant Song Huizong also wrote a special note. The book "Daguan Tea Theory" refers to tea drinking. "

Drinking tea with condiments made Qiu Bo, who was about to make a cup of huibai green tea for a few people, a little bit awkward—holding a tea can in his hand, thinking about the ancient ways of drinking in his mind, it was a bit awkward to think about it.

But Alyosha drinks both green tea and black tea. If possible, he will add some milk and sugar to the black tea. After listening to it, I don’t feel much.

Xia Milli who went with him was even more indifferent: his hometown was used to drinking milk tea, and he shared a little bit of language with Alyosha. However, he had been in the army for many years. At that time, he didn't maintain the conditions of his original habits. In this winter meeting, one person was always holding a big tea mug filled with bright white green tea.

Here Zhang Nan talked about the Song people’s tea drinking habits: the most common way to drink tea in the Song Dynasty was to order tea. In the early Song Dynasty, the tea ordering method and the sencha method coexisted, but the sencha method was basically abandoned in the late Song Dynasty.

"The method of ordering tea is to first grind the tea into powder, and then screen out the tea powder with the appropriate particle size. We usually try to preserve the original leaves of the tea when we drink tea, while the Song people do everything possible to turn the tea into At the end of the day, the matcha of the little devil still sticks to this complicated way of drinking tea.

After the tea powder is made, put it into a suitable tea cup, pour the tea powder in the tea cup with boiling water, and stir and beat it with a bamboo tea cup at the same time, until a bowl of'water and milk' tea soup is formed. , Like drinking coffee and milk powder today.

This tea was originally originated in Jianzhou, Fujian Province. It was originally a competition for tea farmers to compare the quality of new tea. Later, as the tribute tea was introduced to the court, it was praised by the emperor, and the black-glazed Jianzhan became a royal drink. The standard tea set for tea.

Black porcelain can set off the white tea soup and distinguish water marks. It was a favorite among scholars and scholars at that time. In the Song Dynasty, literati ruled the world, and the status of this black porcelain was quite high. "

Speaking of picking up the "Yaobian Tianmu", he said: "But this may not be Jizhou kiln, but it may be the kiln product of Fujian province. But maybe, it is said that at that time, both Jiangxi and Fujian provinces were firing similar products. product."

Zhang Nan can be regarded as a porcelain expert, but the most refined are only Ming and Qing porcelains and Yue kiln celadon. This black porcelain can only be understood briefly, and I can't tell it all at once.

"This Yaobian Tianmu bowl is more precious than the Jizhou kiln wood leaf applique bowl. The firing is very accidental. The flare of a high-temperature firing under this glaze will sparkle with a colorful halo under the sun and a certain temperature. .

It's pretty, but it's not easy to burn. "

Upon hearing this, Xiang Weirong said, "It was precious at that time. How could it appear in the stone tomb?"

"Hehe, now there are eight Chinese porcelains in Xiaoguizi's that are designated as national treasures, and all of the top three are the kiln-built'Yaobian Tianmu' tea cups. Among them, the'Yaobian Tianmu' collected by the Jingjiatang Library Art Museum. 'And was boasted by the little devil as the'first bowl in the world'.

The little devil believed that the bowl was bestowed by heaven and boasted that it was a supreme divine product. In fact, those bowls were brought back by little devil monks who came to China in the Song Dynasty. It is said that they were taken from the Tianmu Mountain area.

Although the scale of the slate tomb was small ~www.wuxiaspot.com~, the people who could afford to repair such a sophisticated tomb at that time, even if they were not officials with real power, must have been a local tyrant, at least of the Ximenqing level.

Several little devils and monks can get this kind of bowl. I guess if Ximenqing likes to drink tea, there should be a way to get a few. It's not surprising that it can be used as a funeral. "

Yes, Ximen Qing was shot while lying down! However, Ximenqing seems to have another official title, which is very common among local tyrants in the Song Dynasty, and the tomb owner may also have this official status.

The effect of Ximenqing is good: even if the people present have not read the original work, they have at least heard of it, and have seen a few episodes of the 83 edition of "Water Margin", so they can understand who Ximenqing is.

It's not that he is capable of picking up girls, but Ximen Qing's worth and status.

"Would you like to clean it?"

Xiang Weirong asked.

"No, I will put it in the warehouse for ten and a half months. The soil has been isolated from the air for a hundred years. Let it slow down, otherwise I am worried that the glaze will explode." (To be continued.)
