"Secret color porcelain?"
At this time, Old Sun was stunned, frowned, and said unhappily: "I said, can you stop fooling me? Even if I am not a professional porcelain player, I know a little bit about porcelain. Even if I can't compare with your professionalism, I can still be considered a junior level and not an outsider."
"What is secret color porcelain? Wouldn't I know?"
Mr. Sun was very unhappy. No matter how ignorant he was, he could not have heard of the famous secret porcelain.
You should know that secret color porcelain was already very famous in ancient times. Lu Guimeng, a poet of the late Tang Dynasty, had a famous poem, including two lines of poetry, the wind and dew in the nine autumns opened in the kiln, and the color of thousands of peaks was captured, which was called secret color porcelain.
During the Five Dynasties, secret color porcelain became exclusively for the King of Wu and Yue, and the common people were not allowed to use it. The glaze medicine formula and production process were kept confidential, and outsiders did not know the inside story. So in the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, scholars had constant controversy over secret color porcelain.
After the founding of New China, experts and scholars did not have a recognized conclusion about secret color porcelain.
It was not until the underground palace of Famen Temple opened that a batch of porcelain with written records was found in the underground palace. Only then did the world realize that the so-called secret porcelain was actually celadon.
However, the ancients played a trick and never mentioned celadon, but gave a very hazy and elegant name called secret color porcelain, which has troubled the academic community for more than a thousand years.
The secret color porcelain was born, which caused a sensation all over the world. How could Mr. Sun not know?
So, of course he was very angry: "As we all know, secret color porcelain had become a mystery in the Song Dynasty. Besides, this Liuxiazhang is something from the Ming Dynasty. How could it be related to secret color porcelain?"
"Of course it's related..."
Mr. Wu smiled and explained: "In fact, after the objects in the underground palace of Famen Temple were unearthed, people seem to have a deep-rooted understanding of the secret color porcelain. When it comes to the secret color porcelain, it must be that kind of porcelain."
"In fact, in our opinion, the so-called secret color porcelain is a very broad noun. Its true meaning should be understood literally."
Mr. Wu Er talked freely: "The secret word for secret color means confidential and confidential; color means powder formula and glaze formula. Therefore, the meaning of secret color should be a confidential glaze formula."
"The best celadon in Yue Kiln was called secret color porcelain in the Wuyue Kingdom in the Five Dynasties. It is mainly because of the firing of that kind of porcelain. From formula, blank making, glazing to firing, it is secretly known, so it has such a name."
Mr. Wu smiled and said, "And this Liuxiazhang is the same."
"The production process of Hao Shijiu's Liuxia Guan is very complicated, especially the bright glaze color like Liuxia. It is a secret recipe that no one knows. So what's wrong with calling it a secret porcelain?"
Mr. Wu said yearning: "Brother Sun, you don't know much about Hao Shijiu. So you can't imagine how precious the Liuxiazhang he made is, it's a rare treasure in the world..."
"As for this Liuxiakang."
Wu Erye glanced at his eyes and curled his lips, "The shape is quite similar. But compared with the true essence, there is a huge difference, and there is a huge difference in hesitation."
"So what you mean by secret color." Old Sun suddenly realized and thought: "You want to say that Hao Shijiu's firing technology is unique in the world, and no one can imitate it?"
"That's right." Wu Erye emphasized his head and said solemnly: "Think about it, Liuxiazhang was originally a relatively common instrument in the Ming Dynasty, but since the Liuxiazhang made by Hao Shijiu came out of nowhere, no one in the world has dared to burn something like Liuxiazhang."
"From then on, Liuxiazhan became a unique thing in Hao Shijiu, and a noun in a broad sense became a proper noun."
Mr. Wu admired: "When it comes to Liuxiazhan, everyone's first impression is that the treasures made by Hao Shijiu, not anything else. As long as it is not made by Hao Shijiu, it is considered a fake."
"Ah..." Old Sun said in amazement: "...I've seen it a lot."
Taking advantage of this gap, Qi Xiang asked, "Second Master, you haven't said yet. What should the secret glaze of the real Liuxiazhan look like? Have you ever seen the real Liuxiazhan before?"
"Hey, if I have seen the real Liuxiazhan, then I will have no regrets in my life."
Mr. Wu sighed, but also gave him generous advice: "My friend, although I have never seen a real thing, some documents record the most prominent features of Liuxiazhan."
"The color is as bright as cinnabar, as bright as the sunset?" Qi Xiang hesitated. Such a description is so vast.
"No, no, no, not this." Mr. Wu shook his head and smiled: "I am talking about literature, not the modification of literati, but the actual identification standards."
"Please give me advice from the second master." Qi Xiang listened with stern eyes.
Wu Erye said slowly: "In addition to the difficulty of rebirth in Liuxiazhan, the most important thing is its glaze. You should pay special attention to the glaze of Liuxiazhan, which is not only attached to the tread, but can seep into the tire wall."
"What?" Qi Xiang was stunned, shocked and surprised.
"How is it, didn't you expect it?" Wu Erye laughed and said, "The glaze of Liuxiazhan and the blank body should be specially prepared. When fired at high temperature, the glaze penetrates into the body wall and is integrated."
"When the watery clouds cool down and leave the kiln, then look at the things in the air. The light is as bright as the watery clouds, colorful and beautiful as it is."
Mr. Wu was very fascinated, then turned his eyes, looked at the Liuxiazhang on the table, and said disdainfully: "As for this thing, not only is the body and glaze far apart, but you can also tell it is a new thing at a glance."
"The glaze color is bright, the body is thin, and it falls within the scope of rebirth, but the craftsmanship is not good, the weight is not well controlled, and the body is a bit heavy. I guess, this should be the work of the craftsman of Jingdezhen."
Mr. Wu Er concluded: "The market price of things is at most 30,000 to 50,000. Mr. Yang, how much did you spend to buy it?"
"……not much!"
The middle-aged man next to him gritted his teeth and his neck became thicker: "It's only more than two million..."
"Ha, more than two million?" Mr. Wu looked confused and said astonished: "I lost money, I lost a lot."
"Damn..." the middle-aged man said angrily: "I'm blind and believe in the wrong person."
"Actually, the real Liuxiazhan, more than two million is an insult to it." Mr. Wu Er kindly warned: "If there are ten or two hundred million, you can't get it."
"One or two million..." The middle-aged man's eyes widened: "So expensive?"
"Raint?" Wu Erye sneered: "I'm just a conservative estimate. Do you know that Ju Heshen, the first beloved of Emperor Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty, offered a reward of 10,000 taels of gold to buy the Liuxiazhan of Hao Shijiu, but no one paid attention to him..."
The middle-aged man pulled the corners of his mouth and stopped talking.
Mr. Wu was clear-headed and immediately smiled and said, "Hehe, you must think that no one has Liuxiazhang, so Heshen can't buy it, right?"
"This..." The mind was seen through, and the middle-aged man felt a little embarrassed: "Isn't it?"
"Of course not." Mr. Wu shook his head and said, "Heshen offered a reward of 10,000 gold coins. Perhaps there was no movement in the folk countryside, but the entire court officialdom must be known to everyone."
"In the capital at that time, there was an official who had the Liuxia Sword handed down from his ancestors."
Mr. Wu Er sighed: "When Heshen offered a reward for the snowy clouds, the little official pretended to be deaf and dumb, without any movement. Afterwards, he accidentally left and revealed the news, and was exposed and reported, and was exposed and exposed to Heshen."
"Heshen was overjoyed when he heard the news and quickly sent someone to seek money. However, he did not expect that the little official insisted that he had no Liuxiazhan. Heshen could not believe it. He directly made an excuse to kill the little official's family, easily seized Liuxiazhan, and then presented it to Emperor Qianlong."
Mr. Wu snorted: "Emperor Qianlong is very happy, but he also knows where things come from, and he also talks about face. He did not show off the things everywhere, but just admired them alone in private."
"There are not many secret treasures like this that cannot be shown to others. They are all compiled into the secret archives of the palace."
Mr. Wu Er was also somewhat satisfied: "We brothers are lucky to have read those secret files, so we naturally know some secrets and the characteristics of the shiny light."
When Qi Xiang heard this, she thought of the walnuts he sold to Chen Biexue, which seemed to be one of the secret treasures of the palace.
"So, what happened to the last thing in the streaming clouds in Emperor Qianlong's hand?" the middle-aged man asked hurriedly.
"Then I don't know." Mr. Wu frowned and said, "It was a chaotic in the late Qing Dynasty. You also know that it was the Eight-Nation Alliance, the warlords and other chaotic. The internal thieves colluded with the external thieves. The treasures in the palace were slaughtered and divided into most of the treasures."
"The Liuxiazhang is very precious, but it is not very eye-catching when sandwiched among other treasures. Who knows who is in his hands? Maybe it will be lost overseas or broken in the chaos, which is also very likely."
Mr. Wu Er said with compassion: "The rise and fall alternately, not only the people but also many treasures. Every time there is a turmoil, the artistic treasures are reduced by half, so many people today lack sufficient understanding of the rare treasures of ancient times."
"That's right." Qi Xiangshen agreed and felt quite touched.
As the saying goes, things are rare and precious, but on the other hand, they are also true. The precious things themselves are rare. Over the past thousands of years, after repeated turmoil, I don’t know how many treasures have been destroyed, which makes people feel distressed.
However, for middle-aged people, no matter how many treasures in ancient times are destroyed, it has nothing to do with him. Anyway, he is now furious and his face is scary: "Thank you for your advice from the two masters, I will be rewarded."
While speaking, the middle-aged man bowed again and begged: "Two masters, can you be my witnesses?"
"What witness?" Mr. Wu frowned.
