204 Oppression from the Later Zhou Chai Shizong

Ling Mausoleum was stunned: "During the Tang and Five Dynasties, the works of Chai Shizong of the Later Zhou Dynasty were ruled by craftsmen?

Is there anything special about things in this period?”

Ran Wennian said: "There is nothing special about the things in this period, but the porcelain of this period is the best among porcelain."

"The porcelain of this period is the best among porcelain? But I remember that the most famous blue and white porcelain seems to be Yuan blue and white."

Ran Wennian shook his head: "The Yuan blue and white porcelain is indeed very famous, but it is completely different from the blue and white porcelain of the Chai Shizong of the Later Zhou Dynasty.

Blue and white porcelain was born in the Tang Dynasty and flourished in the Yuan Dynasty.

The reason why Yuan blue and white porcelain is famous is that it has changed the implicit and restrained style of traditional porcelain, with distinct visual effects, majestic spirit and original artistic spirit.

It pushed the art of blue and white painting to the top, establishing the prosperity and endurance of blue and white porcelain in later generations.

It can be said that the production process of Yuan blue and white porcelain is a top technique that combines historical blue and white porcelain art into Dacheng.

By the Ming and Qing dynasties, although there were micro-innovations in some aspects, they could never get rid of the shackles of Yuan blue and white art.

However, the reputation of blue and white porcelain during the reign of Emperor Chai Shizong of the Later Zhou Dynasty was attributed to an allusion.

According to legend, Chai Shizong ordered craftsmen to burn a batch of porcelain at that time.

The official in charge of this matter asked the emperor what color it was good to burn.

Chai Shizong thought for a while and replied, "The rain has passed the sky and the clouds are blue, and this color is the future."

It means that you made the porcelain for me according to the blue sky after the heavy rain.

This makes the craftsman difficult.

The sky blue color that burned out after the rain was so blue that it was so damn.

But the emperor had to obey the emperor's orders, so these craftsmen began to think of various ways, but none of them could succeed.

After waiting for more than half a year, Chai Shizong was furious when he learned that these guys who were in corpse still had no results.

He gave these people a death order:

At most seven days, if you can't burn the sky blue you want, behead all your heads.

The craftsmen were also anxious.

I don’t know if it’s full of desire to survive, but it drizzled down the sky that night.

One of the apprentices suddenly got inspiration and got up from the bed and opened the kiln to burn porcelain overnight.

This move immediately caused great doubts, but when there was no way, everyone let it go.

Unexpectedly, when the kiln was opened seven days later, everyone was shocked.

It happened that the heavy rain had just stopped, the sky was blue and blue, and the sky was thousands of miles away.

Everyone compared the color of the kiln with it, but they couldn't tell where the sky was and where the porcelain was.

After this incident, the craftsmen in the palace burned porcelain and waited for the misty and rainy days.

Because only this kind of weather can the purest sky blue color be burned.

Don't think I'm talking nonsense.

From a scientific point of view, it takes a higher humidity to burn pure azure glaze.

The ancients were unable to control the environment and could not create a temperature and humidity environment for misty and rainy weather.

So we can only wait for the misty rain to open the kiln.”

Smack sex!

There was endless applause again.

An ancient secret letter related to blue and white porcelain was briefly explained by Ran Wennian, vivid, interesting and philosophical.

He is worthy of being a top scholar at Yan University.

Ling Mausoleum looked puzzled: "Professor Ran, although the firing method of the sky blue glaze was discovered during the reign of Emperor Chai Shizong of the Later Zhou Dynasty.

But it does not mean that the blue and white porcelain of this period is the most precious, right?

After all, you also said that in terms of art and craftsmanship, Yuan blue and white porcelain is the real success of porcelain art."

Ran Wennian shook his head: "No, although future generations can also burn beautiful sky blue glaze according to the apprentice's method.

However, due to the differences in temperature and humidity on different rainy days, the color of the sky blue glaze also has slight deviations.

Later, the craftsmen were surprised to find that no matter how hard they tried, the sky-blue glaze they burned was not as beautiful as the first kiln burned by the apprentice.

Including the apprentice himself, this color can't be burned."

Everyone was shocked again, but they did not expect that the well-known blue and white porcelain would have such eternal secrets.

Ling Wei's eyes suddenly lit up:

"I understand, the last sentence of Mr. Lu Xun's "Social Drama" is:

‘Really, until now, I have never eaten the good beans that night, and I no longer see the good show that night.’

The "good beans" and "good show" here refer more to the state of mind.

The apprentice's knife was placed on his neck, and the powerful pressure stimulated his endless potential.

In this absolute state, the time he chose to open the kiln and the effort he put into burning the kiln have reached an unprecedented level.

Because of this, he burned the purest sky blue color of a kiln.

And it is unprecedented and no one comes afterwards.

After all, after knowing the method of firing, even if the emperor raises the butcher's knife and threatens it, the craftsman will not be able to burn the kiln with the mood of putting death and then dying.

I'm right?"

Ran Wennian was silent now: "There is a high probability that this is the case, but there are too many metaphysical components in this kind of thing, so who can say it accurately?

But when you look at this blue and white porcelain, the sky blue color on it is really unique.

I have seen thousands of blue and white porcelain ornaments, including modern technology that has been very developed, and I have not found even a purer color than this one."

Ling Madam: "Thank you Professor Ran for your wonderful story, thank you!"

When Ran Wennian returned to his seat, Ling Mausoleum began to direct people to follow the process.

But when Ran Wennian made such a fuss, some of the processes were a little awkward.

For example, when the lucky audience betting session, everyone guesses that it is genuine.

The guest comment session was also a bit humble, no matter Ran Xingyue, Wang Cheng, and Fu Song, they all ended with just a few words.

It’s not that they don’t work hard, but that Ran Wennian has already said everything he can say, and it doesn’t make sense to say it any longer.

Then came the bid by Jiuyue Auction House, and the price given by Zhang Jiuyue was 68.68 million.

This number is a bit naughty and the audience's expressions are also different.

Some were shocked that this piece of porcelain was worth so much money, while others felt that Jiuyue Auction was taking advantage of the situation.

Because what Ran Wennian said was true, this piece of porcelain should be more than this price.

Finally, Ling Mausoleum asked the treasure master: "Sir, do you have entered the 'battery, smashing, looting'?"

The treasure holder is not stupid, so he naturally nodded in agreement.

Then a more dramatic scene appeared.

First, I "played" this level, and once again, the same scene as the snuff bottle appeared.

That is, everyone "fights" themselves and wants to eliminate themselves.

Then there is "smash", and the treasure holder walks over with his treasure.

As a result, before he could get closer, all four guests leaned back tactically.

The audience finally couldn't help laughing out loud, and everyone understood what the four of them meant.

If you really hit such a precious thing accidentally, you can't bear the responsibility.

When it comes to "grab", the four people move very quickly.

Just waiting for Ran Xingyue, after Wang Cheng and Ran Wennian raised their writing boards, the atmosphere became extremely strange again.

Because the prices given by Ran Xingyue and Ran Wennian are 68.69 million.

The vulgar and liu Wang Cheng is even more exaggerated, 68.680001 million.

One dollar more than Jiuyue Auction House.

Ling Mausoleum first interviewed Wang Cheng, but Wang Cheng refused to interview him, looking at the sky with a cold and arrogant look, and his posture was very handsome.

Ran Wennian smiled bitterly and said, "It's better for me to say that we don't want to buy this blue and white porcelain."

In fact, I dreamed that I would put it in my study and keep observing and researching it every day.

But the problem is that I don’t have that much money!

Otherwise, I wouldn't have wanted to eliminate myself in the 'fight' stage."

Ling Madam asked curiously: "Since that's the case, why do you still have to pay 68.69 million?

If the treasure holder agrees to make a deal, then won’t you…”

Speaking of this, Ran Wennian laughed: "It's okay, because the sky collapses and he is still tall."
