Chapter 366 Fake and Repair
Speaking of the Tianzi jar, it is another interesting thing. It is not a piece of porcelain, but a general name for a series of porcelain. It was first created in Chenghua and was used privately by the Chenghua emperor and Wan Guifei.
It is a top-notch vessel in terms of shape and is known as the "Emperor Jar".
They are all extremely well-made, plump and graceful, about the size of a pair of fists. They are small jars with colorful lids. The largest jar is only 13 centimeters high. The style of the small jar is a straight mouth, short neck, round shoulders and bulging belly.
, the lower part is introverted, with a hollowed-out ring and a lid attached. The lids are mostly flat-topped and slightly convex, with straight walls, covering the mouth of the jar.
The biggest feature is that the word "天" is written on the bottom of the jar, so it is called a "tian-zi jar".
There are many kinds of decorative themes, including Chilong pattern, Kuilong pattern, Yinglong pattern, flying elephant pattern, Pegasus pattern, entwining lotus pattern, lotus holder eight treasures pattern, but there is no figure pattern.
Distinguishing between Qing imitation Doucai and Ming Doucai is also a matter that tests the eyesight of experts.
For Zhou Zhi's current level, it is unlikely that the eye-punching behavior that happens to ordinary laymen will happen to him, especially Song Ci, who can almost be regarded as an expert.
However, the Qing Dynasty imitations of Pingping blue and white and the mid-Ming Dynasty Pingping blue and white, as well as the Qing Dynasty imitations of Chenghua doucai and Chenghua official kiln doucai, Zhouzhi are still lacking in heat.
After all, he himself sees more imitations and less genuine products.
Moreover, Emperor Qianlong also did one thing, which was to ask the pottery superintendent to make some half-authentic and half-imitations of the Chenghua Doucai Tianzi jars that were missing their lids.
.
This tests your eyesight even more.
However, Zhou Zhi has not encountered such troubles now. After saying so much, I actually want to explain a very real problem, that is, there is a large amount of "business overlap" between the counterfeit manufacturing industry and the cultural relic restoration industry.
.
The Shudu University Rare and Ancient Books Restoration Research Institute is undoubtedly in urgent need of ancient books, calligraphy and painting paper.
Just because the Forbidden City is not lacking does not mean that Shu University is not lacking.
Of course, it is impossible to donate the most precious Chengxintang paper of the Southern Tang Dynasty and Jilin paper of the Song Dynasty to Zhouzhi. After all, Shu University does not have any treasures of paintings from the Five Dynasties and Song Dynasty that need to be restored.
However, Wannianhong and Jianyangkou in the Ming Dynasty, as well as Taishilian in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, these three types of paper were important papers used in official books of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the number of such books collected by Shu University is also quite large.
Therefore, Zhou Zhi thought that he could first donate some repair paper that they urgently needed to the Restoration Research Institute to build a good relationship first.
In the small unit of Gu Lao's dormitory in Taohua Village, Gu Youwen's cheerful introduction was full of the tone of Versailles: "Dong Jue, this is my little disciple, Zhou Zhi, you can just call him by his nickname, Elbow!
Hahaha……"
"This kid is very interested in classical literature, and his basic skills are not bad. From now on, he will come to your institute for a work-study program, and you will be asked to lead his apprentices and teach him his skills. Don't refuse."
"Elbow, this is our famous ancient book restoration expert at Shu University, Teacher Yuan Dongjue Yuan."
"Hello, Teacher Yuan." Zhou Zhi quickly stood up and bowed to Yuan Dongjue.
Yuan Dongjue is an elegant lady. She has been engaged in work that requires unusual calmness and concentration for a long time, which has given her a magical peaceful temperament. She is about fifty years younger, with slightly white hair tied back and wearing earrings.
, wearing a classic black embroidered dress, a blue cloth apron around the chest, and a pair of reading glasses.
Seeing the apron, Zhou Zhi quickly added: "It's delaying Teacher Yuan's work."
"It won't be a delay." Yuan Dongjue smiled slightly, and his voice was very young, clear and pleasant: "If everything is a good thing like this, then it doesn't matter if it is delayed again."
"Elbow, let Teacher Yuan check the things first."
"Okay." Zhou Zhi took out a few rice paper packages from a carton he brought, opened the thick rice paper package, and revealed the donated paper inside: "I'm more curious about how you, Master Zuzu, are so well-informed. Yesterday,
If I call you later, you will already know that I have this thing in my hand."
"It was Mr. Sun from Gongmei who told me." Teacher Yuan said with a smile: "There are only so many people in Sichuan who can do top-level restorations. The circle is very small, and everyone knows who is in urgent need of materials."
"I thought that the manager of Shudu Engineering and Art Fees was Mr. Gu's student, so I wanted to ask Mr. Gu to come forward and find Manager Fei, and then ask Manager Fei to find an excuse for you to come to school and have a chat."
"It turns out that Mr. Gu said that you were his new disciple!" Teacher Yuan regretted it when he mentioned this, and slapped his thigh in annoyance: "For this news, I defrauded Mr. Sun of a section of the Northern Song Dynasty's Eight Answers Lantern Shu Brocade
!If I had known that this was the case, why would I have bothered to do that?!"
Zhou Zhi couldn't help but laugh. Speaking of which, this circle is really not that big.
So he said to Manager Fei: "Your store has not done a good job in protecting customer privacy. Do you want to mention this to Mr. Sun?"
"Uh, well..." Manager Fei was embarrassed: "This really shouldn't be... But fortunately, the circle is so big, and it didn't cause any bad effects... Hey, do I dare to mess with Old Man Sun? I'll give it to him
Education is not enough! You just want me to send you home personally, so don’t embarrass your uncle!"
Gu Youwen also smiled and waved his hand: "I know Lao Sun. He will say what he should say, but he will never say what he shouldn't. He still has this kind of ethics."
"This is why we, the cultural people in Sichuan, are worried about the restoration of ancient books. We can understand if they have the opportunity to obtain more resources and materials, and exchange information channels with each other. You can't be too small-minded."
"I was just joking." Zhou Zhi said with a superficial look on his face: "Yesterday, Mr. Sun read the paper very carelessly. I don't know if he took it seriously. Today I just asked Teacher Yuan to break it off. I will learn more from him.
.”
Teacher Yuan couldn't help laughing when he heard what Zhou Zhi said: "Although Mr. Sun repairs calligraphy and paintings instead of books, the word "sloppy" cannot be attributed to him, right? After all, that is not his style."
Zhou Zhi and Manager Fei looked at each other and smiled. It was obvious that Mr. Sun did not tell Teacher Yuan that Zhou Zhi also owned more precious ancient paper.
Isn't it? Yesterday, the Chengxintang paper of the Southern Tang Dynasty shocked everyone first and then paid attention to it. Even the top-quality Jilin paper of the Song Dynasty didn't get a good treatment, let alone the ones left for wrapping.
Mr. Sun also encountered special circumstances and did something different from his usual style.
But there is no need to mention it again this time.
Over there, Teacher Yuan started to explain while checking the paper.
The first thing I will talk about is the most eye-catching "Wannian Red"
"Although Wannianhong has been around since the Ming Dynasty, it gained fame because Zhang Zhidong founded Guangya Bookstore in the 13th year of Guangxu's reign and adopted the 'Cantonese version', that is, on the title pages and lining pages of books, the words
The ingenious use of 'anti-moth paper', also known as 'Wannianhong', was carried out."
"Guangya Bookstore was a very famous publishing institution in the late Qing Dynasty. Xu Xinfu, a well-known book collector and the owner of Nanzhou Bookstore, spoke highly of the classics printed by Guangya Bookstore in "Guangya Bookstore Series·General Summary": 'Gong Ji
To revitalize literature and education, all rare and unique copies from all over the world will come together and be distinguished by knowledgeable people. Therefore, those published have no vulgar editions and no bad workmanship. The accuracy of their selection and the goodness of their editing will be recognized for a long time.' It can be seen that.
Its products are excellent.”
"Except for the content and version, his decoration is also first-class. Taking into account the problem of book moth infestation, he used Wannianhong as the door lining to wrap, which has become a major feature of the Guangya Bookstore series."
