I Can Extract Abilities From Antiques

222. An antique that rewrote the history of ceramics

He Rui gave everyone five minutes to appreciate this large jar with blue and white beast ears.

When the time was up, He Rui signaled to the staff to remove the large jar of Yuan blue and white animal ears.

However, for this piece of Yuan Qinghua, which is extremely rare in mainland museums, everyone simply did not appreciate it enough.

Seeing that the two staff were about to take down the blue-and-white double beast ear jar, they couldn't help but say.

"Don't rush to withdraw, we haven't seen enough yet.

"That's right, let's enjoy it.

"After all, it is Yuan Qinghua, which is rare.

For everyone's request, He ~ Rui's face was embarrassed.

The process of this appreciation meeting is all time-arranged-.

She was only invited, and she didn't dare to offend the members of the Min Qiu Jingshe at all, so she looked at Hu Zhongmu on the stage as if asking for help.

Seeing this, Hu Zhongmu waved to He Rui, motioning for the other party to give him the microphone.

He Rui hurriedly handed the microphone to Hu Zhongmu.

"Everyone, listen to me." Hu Zhongmu's old voice sounded from the venue.

"I know that everyone likes this Yuanqinghua very much, but tonight is an appreciation party, not an exhibition.

"So, this Yuan Qinghua was removed first."

When everyone heard Hu Zhongmu's words, although they still wanted to see it, none of them dared to express their displeasure.

As one of the founders of Minqiu Jingshe, Hu Zhongmu has a very high status in the Xiangjiang antiques industry.

Anyone who is in the antique business will not give a face.

"If you still want to continue to appreciate this piece of Yuanqinghua, you can wait a month. After a month, I will hold a Dragon Kingdom Culture Exhibition."

"When the time comes, you can come and participate.

"In addition to this big blue-and-white jar, I will also take out hundreds of antiques from my collection for exhibition.

Hu Zhongmu's remarks not only calmed everyone's emotions, but also made a small 'advertisement' for his upcoming exhibition.

.

Soon, the second piece of antique was moved to the stage.

This is a large jar with a straight mouth, a short neck, round shoulders, a bulging belly, an adducted lower abdomen, a circle foot, and a lid.

The enamel of this large pot is thick and moist, like natural ancient jade.

The color is like spring plum, the warmth is like spring water, and the lines are smooth and beautiful.

The cover is curved along the lotus leaf.

This large jar is covered with plum blue glaze inside and outside except for the lip and ring feet.

The glaze layer is thick and the color is lustrous.

The glaze is smooth and smooth.

It can be said that it has reached the ideal realm of "thousand peaks green" and "like ice like jade" that Longguo Ceramics has pursued for thousands of years.

"Please enjoy the second antique tonight, the Ming Dynasty Longquan kiln celadon-glazed lotus-leaf jar.

As soon as these words came out, Hu Muzhi was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help but patted his forehead.

"Mr. Hu, what's wrong with you? Did you guess wrong?" Tong Fan couldn't help but ask.

"Yes. Hu Muzhi nodded with a wry smile.

Because the answer he wrote was a celadon-glazed lotus-leaf-shaped lid jar from Longquan kiln in the Southern Song Dynasty.

Actually, if this will be 2022, then Hu Muzhi's answer is correct.

But now it happens to be August 1991.

Before that, both the archaeological community and the antique shops believed that the lotus leaf-shaped lidded jar was an artifact only after the Yuan Dynasty.

It was not until a group of kilns were discovered in Jinyu Village, Suining, in the middle of Shu, that people were sure that this exquisite type of utensils already existed in the late Southern Song Dynasty.

It was a day in September 1991.

Wang Shiquan, a villager in Jinyu Village with only a dozen households, died of illness.

Because Jinyu Village is located in Pingba, local people will bury the dead in their vegetable gardens.

Wang Shiquan's wife Wen Mou, in accordance with the village's custom, also plans to install the cemetery in his vegetable field.

So I found a feng shui master to measure the orientation, and then several brothers of Wang Shiquan led a few neighbors to start digging the hole.

The burial pit was dug not too deep, and suddenly there was a sound of metal crashing.

Everyone peeled off the soil and found that it was a rusted long-handled bronze vessel.

So, everyone pulled the copper utensils apart and tried to dig a few hoes down.

Unexpectedly, in addition to a few pieces of bronze, there are quite a lot of porcelain.

Now the Wang family is a little bit sad.

Because this vegetable garden was originally a burial site of a landlord's family, during the land reform, the land was divided equally.

The graves were all flattened.

When the contracted production arrived at the household, it was distributed to Wang Shiquan.

This became a vegetable patch.

Therefore, those who participated in the excavation at that time believed that this was someone else's cemetery.

And digging something out of someone else's grave is a bad thing.

This also led to the fact that the deceased who were buried that day could not be buried.

In fact, the Wang family did not know that the things they dug up were not the funeral objects of the landlord's family at all.

It is a batch of cellared porcelain from the Southern Song Dynasty.

Hoards are different from tombs and ruins.

Most of the hoarding is related to emergencies such as wars and disasters.

When disasters came, the ancients buried gold, silver, copper coins, valuables and other valuables in the ground in order to reduce losses.

Wait for it to be taken out again at a later date.

Precisely because it is valued by the owner, most of the artifacts unearthed in the cellar are more exquisite, and a large part of them are high-quality products at that time.

The cultural relics stored in the cellar are of different types in different periods.

During the Shang and Zhou dynasties, most of them were bronze.

........for flowers·

In the Tang Dynasty, gold and silver wares were common.

In the Liao, Song, Jin and Yuan Dynasties, porcelain was the mainstay.

There are probably two methods of hoarding.

One is to put things into containers first, such as clay pots, clay jars or large copper basins and so on.

Then cover it with something or directly buckle it upside down on the loose sand, this is relatively simple.

Another method is to directly bury things in the ground. When things are placed, they are placed end to end and stacked.

Place a few copper utensils on the periphery that is easy to bump, and then fill the gaps between the utensils with fine sand.

And this Southern Song Longquan kiln celadon-glazed lotus-leaf jar is the latter type of burial method.

So the first thing they encountered was bronze.

At this time, the Wang family did not realize that what they had dug up was a batch of treasures.

It's when they don't know what to do.

This incident spread inexplicably.

All the people in the village came to see what was fresh.

With more and more people watching, everyone's curiosity has become heavier and heavier.

One after another, someone came up with an idea to simply dig this hole and take a look.

Among the onlookers at that time was an intellectual.

It reminded the Wang family that it is illegal to dig something underground, and suggested that the Wang family call the police as soon as possible.

The Wang family thought about it and then called the police.

After verifying the situation, the local government gave the Wang family a reward of 500 yuan.

And came forward to solve the burial problem of Wang Shiquan.

A day later, cultural relic experts began to excavate.

Since then, a group of treasures that shocked domestic and foreign countries have finally resurfaced after being buried for more than 800 years.

More than a thousand cultural relics have been unearthed in this small vegetable field.

Except for a small amount of stoneware and bronzeware, most of them are exquisite Song Dynasty porcelains, totaling 985 pieces.

Among them, there are 29 first-class cultural relics.

Including the same utensils as the celadon-glazed lotus-leaf-shaped lidded jar on the stage.

There are more than 200 second-level cultural relics and more than 500 third-level cultural relics.

Whether it is quantity or quality, it created the most unearthed Song porcelain at home and abroad at that time.

It can be said that this discovery has rewritten our ceramic history.

And this meeting was only in August 1991, and the history of ceramics has not been changed.

It is understandable that everyone thinks this is a Ming Dynasty Longquan kiln.

Although Hu Muzhi doesn't know where the organizer got this celadon-glazed lotus-leaf jar from Longquan kiln in the Southern Song Dynasty.

But it has nothing to do with him.

As for correcting the organizer's mistakes, Hu Muzhi never thought about it.

Because if one thing is wrong, all the people in the world think it is right, then that thing is right.

And this round of 'mistakes' did not affect the work for Hu Muzhi to advance to the next round.
