Chapter 135 It is difficult to find leaks

Zhen Xiaoren smiled and looked at several colleagues around him, then left the restaurant.

Hao Huai glanced at Li Dun'er and did not blame him, especially because there was someone he liked, so he still had to save some face for him, but Hao Huai still joked.

"Boss Li, I will hand over the three or five pieces of official kiln porcelain from the Third Dynasties to you."

Li Dun'er was originally comforting the female manager. When she was about to put her hand on her shoulder, she heard Hao Huai's words and realized that she had caused trouble. However, with the beauty present, he calmed down and smiled and said, "Hehe..., come down and study it carefully."

Hao Huai shook his head and returned to the private room with Shadow and the other two. After sitting down carefully, he couldn't help asking: "Brother, what is the official kiln porcelain of the Third Qing Dynasty?"

Although Hao Huai knew that the mistress really didn't know much about porcelain, he shouldn't have heard of it in antique street stalls for so many years. Hao Huai didn't think much about it. In fact, after he came into contact with the slag bucket imitating Jun kiln, he had been looking at the history of porcelain, and the porcelain from the Third Qing Dynasty happened to be well understood.

Porcelain in the Third Qing Dynasty refers specifically to porcelain made during the reign of Emperor Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong periods of the Qing Dynasty.

The porcelain produced during this period is often associated with Jingdezhen. Historically, Jingdezhen porcelain developed in the Five Dynasties, matured in the Song and Yuan Dynasties, and was glorious in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Judging from the firing process, it has gone through three important stages: from celadon to white porcelain, and from white porcelain to colored porcelain.

Jingdezhen was the center of my country's porcelain industry during the Ming and Qing dynasties. Even during the heyday of my country's porcelain making industry, official kiln porcelain almost became synonymous with Jingdezhen kilns. Especially after the Yongle year, Western art and pigments were introduced to my country, which contributed to the porcelain making industry. At the same time, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty attached great importance to the manufacturing of porcelain, and the country devoted all its efforts to burn porcelain in Jingdezhen and produced extremely exquisite products.

In the second year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, Jingdezhen built a kiln, which specialized in firing imperial porcelain. It only sought exquisite quality of the product, regardless of the cost. Therefore, the porcelain making process developed rapidly. Almost all Song porcelains can be imitated, with vivid imitation, and some reached the realm of being dazzling and dazzling. The two colors of blue and black are more exquisite than the previous dynasty, and the vegan colors have reached the point of perfection.

In the Ming Dynasty, five-color and blue and white colors were also created. The five-color colors were generally depicted in five colors: red, yellow, green, purple, and He. The blue and white colors were generally depicted in five main colors: red, yellow, green, purple and blue and white.

The Jingdezhen porcelain industry in the Qing Dynasty made new developments on the basis of the Ming Dynasty. The most accomplished and influential was that the color porcelain in the Qing Dynasty replaced blue and white porcelain and became the mainstream of official kiln porcelain, changing the situation in which blue and white porcelain was the mainstream in the Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties.

In the Qing Dynasty, Jingdezhen also created enamel porcelain and invented pastel colors, also known as "soft color". It can be said that the Qing Dynasty reached its peak in the firing process of colored glaze or colored porcelain. Many varieties were unprecedented and no one came later. Especially the three dynasties of Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong, they gathered the achievements of famous kilns in the world, gathered the essence of national skills, the output of porcelain, the rich variety, and the exquisite craftsmanship, were unparalleled.

In addition, the intervention of emperors in the Qing Dynasty exceeded that of the previous dynasties, and the most typical one was Emperor Qianlong.

Because Emperor Qianlong had a high artistic cultivation, he had high requirements for the shape, patterns, varieties, etc., and must be approved by the imperial examination and the patterns produced before it could be burned.

There was another person in the Qing Dynasty who had to mention that this person was the chief pottery officer Tang Ying. Both Ming and Qing dynasties had chief pottery officers, and the most famous one was Tang Ying during the Qianlong period, known as the "Tang Kiln" in history.

From the sixth year of Yongzheng to the twenty-first year of Qianlong, Tang Ying supervised the official kiln pottery affairs in Jingdezhen for 27 years, eating, living and working with the porcelain craftsmen at that time. The production of official kiln porcelain during this period also concentrated on the most outstanding achievements of my country's porcelain making in the Kang, Yong and Gan dynasties.

In the eighth year of Qianlong's reign, Tang Ying was ordered to compile the "Cultivation and Artificial Pictures" which was relatively complete and systematically summarized the entire process of Jingdezhen's porcelain making process, becoming the earliest ceramic technology monograph in my country.

The blue and white vessels fired by Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong were both strongly following the Yongle, Xuande and Chenghua dynasties of the Ming Dynasty, especially the blue and white vessels of Kangxi, which were green and bright in color, with clear layers, and the thick and thin brush rhymes could be divided into five colors, like ink paintings, implicit and vivid.

The colorful porcelain was the most exquisite in the Kangxi period. The body was light and thin, the glaze was white and bright, the painting was delicate, the colors were soft and the lines were smooth, which made people love it. The achievements of pastels during the Yonggan period were the most prominent, with warm tones, bright but not charming, and strong three-dimensional sense, which was often amazing. In addition, the works of the five famous kilns imitated in the Song Dynasty were also very successful. Some of them were mostly sprinkled with real, sprinkled blue, sky blue, sacrifice blue, holly, tea powder and other monochrome glazes are also many excellent works.

The Kang, Yong and Gan dynasties had the most abundant shapes, both antique and innovative, especially various decorative porcelains such as bottles. Zuns and other types were greatly increased compared with the Yuan Dynasty. Among them, the unique shapes of the Kangxi Dynasty were Guanyin bottles, rod-hammer bottles, golden bell cups, phoenix tail priests, horse hoof priests, etc. The most prominent shapes of the Yongzheng Dynasty were Niu-headed priests, four-couple bottles, lantern bottles, Ruyi ear priests, cup-covered peach washes, high-foot loquat priests, etc.

The shape of large decorative objects in the Qianlong Dynasty did not change much compared with the previous dynasty, but many of them appeared in exquisite small objects such as snuff bottles, bird food jars, imitation ivory, imitation jade and elephant porcelain.

After hearing Hao Huai's introduction, Xiaosaner nodded and said helplessly: "Brother Hao Huai, brother knows that you are not dealing with that Zhen Xiaoren, but you also know that I am just an ordinary street stall and can't help you. Even if I give you a gift for opening this lantern bottle."

"San brother, I can see that you are not unaware of the porcelain from the Third Dynasties of the Qing Dynasty, but you are worried that I will not be able to obtain seven or eight pieces of official kiln porcelain from the Third Dynasties of the Qing Dynasty within three days."

Hao Huai politely declined Xiaosan'er's kindness and then said, "Don't worry, the reason I wanted to bet with Zhen Xiaoren before was to give myself some motivation. If it couldn't open within three days, how could I squeeze Zhen Xiaoren out of the Pan family? It's only twenty days now, so I have to hurry up."

"So that's the case. Brother Hao Huai's courage, my mistress, is ashamed of being as good as that of you. These days I will also pay attention to you. If someone comes to take action, I will notify you."

The mistress is very pure. Although the base of his lantern bottle is Qianlong, the things are still Jiaqing official kiln, so she can't help Hao Huai.

"The third brother is not worried about me. Come on, let's drink." Hao Huai did not mention those troubles with the mistress, but started drinking with his heart. After a while, Li Dun'er and the female manager also walked in, and they looked much closer to each other than before.

After thanking Hao Huai, the female manager walked out and said she wanted to fill in some wine and food.

"Old bad, you gave me a face just now, so I could just put it on." Li Dun'er's smile on her face was a little strange, and then she said, "But I know I shouldn't have made a bet with Zhen Xiaoren just now, so I plan to go to the antique market tomorrow to see if I can buy a few good porcelains and come back."

Hao Huai did not blame Li Dun'er. He knew that such a thing was inevitable, and the day passed like this.

The next morning, Hao Huai and Shadow began to search for porcelain in major cultural relics markets in Taipei City, but "picking up bargains" is not that easy. Even if you are an expert, you can't help but not touch real things. And even if you encounter them, it is difficult to negotiate on the price.

"You are so spoiling Li Dun'er, aren't you afraid that they will cause you annoyance?" The shadow pushed Hao Huai around the antique street of Baoguo Temple.

"We are friends of life and death, and Li Dun'er just wants to stand up for me, not to mention that she can't escape such things. Besides, there is no real slap in the store, and opening a store will only make Zhen Xiaoren and others laugh at it."

The two of them were talking and had already earned money to the mistress's street stall.

"Brother, I'm about to call you." After seeing Hao Huai, the mistress left and told him that someone was selling a piece of official kiln porcelain in front of the street stall not far away.

"Where can there be such a good thing when selling official kiln porcelain on the street stalls with a high profile?" Although Hao Huai was a little unbelievable, he still walked towards the direction the mistress told him with the shadow.

In a place in the northeast corner of Baoguo Temple Antique Market, a man was hawking at the street stall. Since it was still a little distance away, Hao Huai didn't hear what he said, but the light blue monochrome glaze large porcelain bowl in his hand was extremely eye-catching.

There were not many people in front of the man’s street stall, and the street stalls under his feet were all miscellaneous gadgets, and there were no other porcelains, which made Hao Huai no longer move forward.

Shadow pushed Hao Huai's wheelchair and looked at the monochrome glaze in the man's hand in front of him. He couldn't help but feel surprised and said, "Hey, that man really has a glance at the thing in his hand."

Hao Huai learned from the shadow that the porcelain bowl in the man's hand was probably a good thing, which forced him to re-examine the porcelain bowl in the man's hand. Although he could not distinguish the authenticity of the big bowl by himself, the glaze surface felt different from the new imitation porcelain that shone brightly before Zhen Xiaoren.

"Shadow, what do you think of that bowl?" Hao Huai asked Shadow cleverly, as if he was testing her eyesight so that he would not reveal his true level.

"Are you testing me?" Shadow saw that Hao Huai had pushed Hao Huai to the man's street stall, and whispered: "The big holly glaze bowl of Qianlong official kiln, the things that opened the door, but I don't know why it appeared on the street stall."

Hao Huai’s questions are exactly the same as his shadow. Not to mention picking up official kiln porcelain these days, even copper coins worth a few years are not easy.

"There is something tricky." There is definitely something tricky. Don't go there first, let's observe it.

Hao Huai whispered that the shadow who was approaching the man's street stall did not stop and pushed Hao Huai straight ahead, and stood five or six meters away from the man's street stall.

"Holly glaze? I think I've heard of it somewhere?"
