Ancient Chinese porcelain exhibitions were born in the Jin Dynasty and continued to evolve over the next few hundred years. In the Song Dynasty, they finally accumulated a lot and exhibited their ancestors in the sense of modern porcelain.

In the Song Dynasty, the porcelain exhibition was a competition for thousands of families. At that time, there were no less than thousands of kiln factories, and the porcelain produced was also of various types.

However, because of the favors of the officials of the Song Dynasty at that time, the mainstream porcelain in the Song Dynasty was generally porcelain with the characteristics of sky blue glaze.

During the Yuan Dynasty, due to the victory of the Mongolian Eastern Expedition, they brought very distinctive natural dyes from the Middle East. The porcelain masters of Jingdezhen at that time burned blue and white porcelain that pioneered the era under such circumstances.

By the time the Ming Dynasty unified the world, Jingdezhen had become the veritable porcelain capital of the world. Kiln factories in other places were declining for various reasons, but Jingdezhen maintained its lasting vitality.

Various innovations are emerging here.

Because of the special preferences of the Mongols during the Yuan Dynasty, the porcelain making masters here had mastered various porcelain making techniques.

For example, use special natural dyes to paint on the firing porcelain body, and then send it to the kiln to burn. The porcelain burned in this way will contain various beautiful figures, flowers, or animals patterns.

By the time of Emperor Yongle and Emperor Xuande, the Ming Dynasty's exhibition had reached its peak after the founding of the country, and it was the most glorious period of the Ming Dynasty.

In order to show its differences from the previous dynasty and an innovation, the emperors no longer liked the single blue and white porcelain with the characteristics of the Yuan Dynasty, so the porcelain making masters in Jingdezhen racked their brains to please the emperor.

In this environment, colored porcelain was born.

At the earliest times, those porcelain makers made colorful porcelain by using the amount of dye used before sending the porcelain blank into the furnace and painting the porcelain blank, and controlling the firing temperature after sending the porcelain blank into the furnace.

In fact, this method of firing is equivalent to a variant of the method of firing glaze during the Ge Kiln in the Song Dynasty.

This kind of porcelain is also called color-glazed porcelain, also known as underglaze color.

Later, with the continuous improvement of firing technology, the continuous improvement of firing technology of white porcelain, and the production process of overglaze color was also revealed.

The so-called overglaze color is actually that when porcelain making masters fire porcelain, they first fired white porcelain with a light body as the base.

Then various dyes are used on these white porcelain blanks to paint, and then these secondary products are sent to a furnace for overfiring. The porcelain obtained in this way is also called overglaze color.

The earliest overglaze color is called painted porcelain. It is also the ancestor of all Chinese colored porcelain!

And this famous Chenghua Doucai is a mixed variety made on the basis of these two porcelains.

That is, the top-level painted porcelain that integrates the underglaze color and the overglaze color.

This is the top innovative production in the history of ancient Chinese porcelain. Because of its small number, it has always been a top collection that has been scrambled by collectors from all walks of life.

Emperor Chenghua of the Ming Dynasty was the eighth emperor of the Ming Dynasty. During his reign, the Ming Dynasty also entered the middle of history. However, it was the end of the most glorious period.

At that time, the Ming Dynasty was still doing well, and Emperor Chenghua was also one of the most popular emperors in the history of the Ming Dynasty. He liked porcelain the most in his life.

So the officials in Jingdezhen at that time racked their brains to create a unique porcelain to please the emperor.

In this case, the idea of ​​combining underglaze color and overglaze color to create a novel style of porcelain was born in the porcelain kiln in Jingdezhen.

However, when this Chenghua Doucai was first burned, there were no clear relevant records. [〔［

It was not until the Wanli period that Emperor Chenghua's grandsons did not appear in front of future generations for the first time.

The record of the Shenzong at that time recorded: "Shenzong's fashionable food, there was a pair of Chenghua Colored Chicken Cups in front of the imperial court, which was worth 100,000 yuan."

It was from this book that Chenghuacai appeared in front of the world for the first time. It was precisely because the porcelain recorded above that Chenghuacai was worth a thousand gold, which caused the folk imitation at that time.

Even the emperors of the Qing Dynasty later imitated the Doucai porcelain in Chenghua.

From Kangxi to his great-grandson Dao Guang, this habit of their family has lasted for hundreds of years. This shows how profound the influence of this Huadoucai had on the later Chinese porcelain exhibition.

However, even many imitators later fought to imitate Chenghua Doucai porcelain, no one could have truly imitated the masterpieces like the authentic Chenghua Doucai products back then.

Only some imitations from the Kangxi and Qianlong periods seem quite reasonable, but they cannot be called Doucai. They can only be called pastel porcelain from the Qing Dynasty by later generations...

Moreover, because the Emperor Chenghua liked porcelain back then, the officials in Jingdezhen not only burned Chenghua Doucai porcelain for him, but also made a lot of blue and white porcelain for him.

And those blue and white porcelains are also top blue and white porcelain works.

So later, after the dynasty, the Aisin Jueluo family settled in the country, and Jingdezhen had become a place to make porcelain for their families. However, the Aisin Jueluo family still lacked confidence and could only allow the craftsmen to sign the basics of the Chenghua Year of the Ming Dynasty on the fired porcelain.

This shows how profound the various porcelains produced during the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty had on the later Chinese porcelain history exhibition.

After remembering the history of this ancient Chinese porcelain exhibition, Jin Muchen also took a deep breath and then bounced the cigarette butt in his hand to the distant night sky.

At this time, Old Li and Uncle Liu on the other side seemed to have almost discussed it, and Sister Tao seemed to have also achieved satisfactory results. Several of them just turned their attention to Jin Muchen.

"Mr. Jim, how do you see these things?"

Uncle Six asked him with a smile, but in fact he was just a fight and didn't really want to do business with him.

Obviously, they had reached a perfect agreement with Tao Jie just now.

Jin Muchen smiled and said, "I'm so open my eyes. I really thought that you can find so many good things. It seems that you've really stepped on it this time."

"Hehe, that's right, my elder Liu is not bragging. In this area, when it comes to Feng Shui and geomancers, searching for dragons and breaking holes, my elder Liu said it was second, but no one dared to consider himself first in front of me."

Jin Muchen just said casually, and Lao Liu opened up the conversation. It seemed that Jin Muchen's words had spoken his itchy spot.

As long as a person has some special skills, he will inevitably show off in front of others.

What's more, when they were talking to Tao Jie before, although Tao Jie didn't say it clearly, they also expressed their importance to Jin Muchen inside and outside.

This makes the mature sixth uncle pay attention to Jin Muchen.

To be honest, when Sister Tao introduced Jin Muchen, she said that he was his boss, Uncle Six and his son, Abin, didn't really take Jin Muchen too much.

After all, Jin Muchen is too young, and Sister Tao’s fame is there, how could she obey such a hairless boy?

But after talking to Tao Jie for a while, Tao Jie showed respect for Jin Muchen in her words, which didn't seem to be a fraud, which forced Lao Liu to pay more attention to Jin Muchen.

"Oh? Is this true? Uncle Six, you are really capable!"

Jin Muchen raised this casually, and Uncle Six couldn't help but be even more happy.

"By the way, Uncle Six, you have harvested so many treasures this time. What are you robbing the tombs of the celebrity this time? I see that most of the treasures unearthed this time are treasures of the Ming Dynasty. Could it be that this generation has the royal tombs of the Ming Dynasty? But it is not like it. Everyone knows that most of the tombs of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty are in the Thirteen Tombs in the capital, or in their hometown Fengyang, but what kind of royal tombs will be here?"

Jin Muchen asked tentatively. When he looked at the vases, porcelain bowls, and porcelain plates before, he knew that these porcelains were definitely not affordable by ordinary people.

Those who can afford such treasures must have been royal relatives during the Ming Dynasty.

It was just a preliminary inference at that time, and I dare not be too sure.

But when he saw the last box of Cheng Huadoucai's broken porcelain pieces, he had basically concluded that someone who could afford such porcelain would definitely not be an ordinary family.

And the fight this time that the sixth uncle and his friends stole must be the tomb of a person of great origin.

When he thought of this, his mood couldn't help but stir up again.

At this time, after hearing his question, Uncle Six looked dizzy and began to pretend to be mysterious.

"Well, how do you say this? Hehe, anyway, I really don't know that the owner of this tomb must be of a big background, but you also know that I am just a rough man. It would be easy for you to ask me to find such a tomb, but if you have to let me tell you who the owner of this tomb is, then I won't be able to say it."

Uncle Six was so hesitating, which made Jin Muchen feel dizzy. Uncle Six had blown the ceiling before, and he thought he was really capable.

But now when I see this guy's style, isn't this just a mysterious thing?
