After a midnight snack, Zhou Zhi rushed to give the money to everyone, and then everyone continued their return journey. At nearly ten o'clock, Zhou Zhi returned home.

When I got home, I carefully started to pack my things, and the next trip was tightly arranged.

I had made an appointment with Manager Fei before to go to the capital, and this happened to coincide with this, so I had to pack a lot of things in advance.

I heard that Manager Fei said that the "Citizen Auction" in Shudu was very lively, and that the cultural relics of Gongmei were too expensive to attend such an event. After a few events, there were worries about shortages. Manager Fei called Zhou Zhi and asked him to Get some supplies up there.

Zhou Zhi is now using his own channels, including his fourth cousin in the city, Su Zifeng from his fifth uncle's family in the countryside, and Lao Yangtou from Baimi Township. They are also collecting things, and they have accumulated a lot over the past year.

Zhou Zhi specializes in porcelain, calligraphy and painting, plus miscellaneous literary works, the remaining jades, bronzes, official kiln wares below Daoguang, folk kiln porcelain below Ming Dynasty, as well as some modern porcelain plate paintings, jdz antique porcelain, small gold and silver wares And so on, I will carefully prepare a batch and let the fee manager sell it on my behalf.

There are actually many fine products here, but for Zhou Zhi, they are already in the category of "you can own them after you see them" and are not worth collecting.

There was only one set of Jiajing blue and white Sanyang Kai Tai Gao bowls. Zhou Zhi was really reluctant to part with them. After admiring them for a long time, he stuffed them back and decided to keep them.

I even secretly made up my mind to create a special category for the Jiajing blue and white collection.

Nowadays, when talking about Ming Dynasty blue and white flowers, it must be Yongxuan.

Indeed, Yongxuan blue and white porcelain represents the highest peak of Chinese blue and white porcelain culture.

By the Jiajing Dynasty, the country's national power was greatly weakened, and the country could no longer support the firing of official kilns, so it adopted a flexible method and implemented the "official and private firing" system, allowing private kilns to help the government in firing utensils, which became "imperial utensils."

On the contrary, the east is not bright but the west is bright. This method of operation has leaked some technical secrets that had been kept in the official kilns to the private kilns.

As a result, the technical level of Jiajing folk kilns is rapidly approaching that of official kilns. Some blue and white vessels of folk kilns with exquisite firing techniques have approached or reached the level of official kilns.

This is a huge value depression. Now even the official kiln porcelain after Daoguang was used as a "buy one get one free" "buy one get one free" when purchasing the third generation official kiln porcelain a few years ago. The folk kiln porcelain was not on the market, and only Objects that can be circulated at "citizen auctions" like Gongmei are extremely cheap.

Even decades later, the value of porcelain from private kilns in the past dynasties is still low. However, with the circulation of porcelain from official kilns becoming less and less, the market is in urgent need of digging out a kind of porcelain for speculation.

This kind of porcelain must firstly have unexplored value and have a lot of room for appreciation; secondly, it must be of good quality and have high cultural relic value and cultural value; thirdly, similar varieties must be explored before, and we can take advantage of the situation. .

So someone finally focused their attention on the Ming Jiajing blue and white porcelain that was the closest to the official kiln in the past dynasties.

The market itself has a mixed bag of good and bad. For Jiajing blue and white, there are three types of light blue materials: Pitang blue, Shizi blue, and Huiqing. And because the technical level of the kiln entrance is different, the colors fired range from black and blue, deep gray to close to Chenghua. There are emerald blues and even purples in blue.

Therefore, the quality varies greatly, and even the Jiajing official kiln wares are affected by the majority of cheap goods and have low value.

But this period was also a period when the styles and colors of blue and white porcelain changed drastically.

From the early Ming Dynasty, official kiln porcelain, like society, began to become rigid. From shape to pattern, official kiln porcelain had a fixed system, and even the inscriptions on the bottom could not be arbitrary.

However, the result of this directly made it difficult to imitate official kiln porcelain. In the era when fakes were rampant, it even reached the point where experts were afraid of looking at it and simply "not official, not official kiln".

In other words, no matter how realistic the imitation of a piece of porcelain is, regardless of the various details of the porcelain body, glaze, bubbles, pins, etc., as long as the shape and pattern are wrong, it is a fake.

For example, the appearance of the three-goat Kaitai pattern on blue and white porcelain must have occurred after Jiajing, because among the blue and white porcelain before Jiajing, no blue and white porcelain with a sheep theme was used.

Therefore, if you see a Yongle Sanyang Kaitai blue and white plate in the market, it is a random fabrication by a counterfeiter who has not passed the test. However, in an era when everyone is obsessed with literature and entertainment and hopes to make a fortune, such clumsy things are still the same. You can deceive countless people.

Because of this, Jiajing blue and white porcelain has become the type of blue and white porcelain that most tests the discernment of collectors due to the huge difference in quality and irregular patterns and colors.

Similarly, because the level required for identification is too high and the value cannot match it, today's Jiajing blue and white is undoubtedly the "junk variety" that is most disliked by collectors.

Think about it, except for true hobby researchers like Zhou Zhi, rich people now have endless collections of fine porcelain from official kilns. How can they have the patience to slowly study the authenticity of good and bad Jiajing blue and white, and the subtle differences between officials and people?

Grandma got up to relieve herself, turned on the bedroom light, and came to the door to see Zhou Zhi: "I heard from your mother that my dear grandson is going out in two days?"

"Yes, grandma, we have found the "Dragon Hidden Sutra" from Fawang Temple and want to send it to Shudu University for appraisal."

"It's the half of the Dragon Tibetan Sutra that Luan Jia was gifted by the Queen Mother? I've heard of this allusion before."

Zhou Zhi smiled and said: "It's almost the same. Dajing Township is not far from Erli Township. Grandma should have heard this story."

"But your allusion of 'red phoenix crushing green dragon' is a bit nonsense. How can you influence such a large area in Sichuan? It's almost enough to influence Jiachuan." Grandma obviously also knew this allusion: "And this is something worth showing off. Son?"

"I didn't make this up, it's just an old allusion that many people don't know now..." Zhou Zhi couldn't help being stunned when he said this: "But I'm afraid it will become known to everyone this time..."

"What time is it, and the mother-in-law and grandson are still chatting here?" My mother also got up: "Go to bed quickly. If you have anything to do, we'll talk about it when you get up tomorrow."

"Mom, we found the Dragon Tibetan Sutra. It's in my bag now. Do you want to read it?"

"What are you looking at..." My mother yawned, showing no interest in the "Dragon Hidden Sutra" at all: "Go to bed quickly and we'll talk about it when we get up tomorrow morning!"

I slept so well in the mountains these past few days, Zhou Zhi still woke up very early, so he simply cooked some porridge, then went out to buy steamed buns, came back, and then packed his things.

By the time the family was having breakfast, my mother seemed to have forgotten that Zhou Zhi had the Dragon Tibetan Scripture in her bag: "This time we go to the capital of Shu, Tingting will also go, and Tingting's mother will definitely have to accompany her."

"Are you going for an interview?"

"It's just an interview. Didn't you buy a house in Shudu? Can you let the two of you live in it for a while? I heard that it's quite expensive to live in a guest house in Shudu."

"Well... that house is quite tidy, and it's pretty scary for just two people to live in..."

"Don't refuse just because you don't come!" Although my mother and Guan Ma often don't get along, when it's time to help each other, the two of them always do their best: "Isn't it just that the house is a little old? What's scary about it?

of?"

"Also, it's up to others to decide whether you want to live there or not. It's up to you to decide whether you want to let others live there!"

"Let me tell you, Guan Ma has always been kind to you, and Tingting has always treated you as her brother..."
