Chapter 166 Longquan Kiln
This bronze mirror was round and engraved with patterns of birds and animals. It looked extremely beautiful. Fang You took it closer and took a look, and his blurry face suddenly appeared on the mirror.
After looking around, in this dim environment, Shen Gang also had doubts about his eyesight and could not pay attention at all. At this time, he saw Fang You holding something and watching carefully, and he suddenly became curious. Go up.
"Mr. Fang, have you found anything good?" Shen Gang asked expressionlessly as he walked closer and saw Fang You holding a bronze mirror, seeming to be pretending to watch.
Hearing Shen Gang's words, Liu Tingting, who was sitting on the chair next to Fang You, couldn't help but look at Fang You curiously. She was indeed so smelly in the room just now that she didn't want to come in, but thinking of Shen Gang's conceited appearance, She gritted her teeth and walked in. It was really unbearable at first. Sitting in the chair was worse than death. But now she got used to it and she felt much better than before.
She saw Fang You holding a round object in his hand, which seemed to be shining under the dim light.
As if he heard the sarcasm in Shen Gang's words, Fang You shook his head and smiled, casually placing the bronze mirror on the case in front of him, "It's nothing, it's just a bronze mirror from the Qing Dynasty. Although the decoration is beautiful, but It’s all rusty and not worth much anymore.”
Qing Dynasty. After only a few minutes of looking at it, he knew that this bronze mirror was from the Qing Dynasty. Shen Gang couldn't help but feel a little funny. He picked up the bronze mirror and observed it carefully. However, after observing for a long time, he could not find out the origin of this bronze mirror. Characteristics of the times, the bird and animal patterns on bronze mirrors have been used since the Western Zhou Dynasty and have been in all dynasties and generations until now. Judging from the characteristics of the rust stains, Shen Gang was a little confused. For bronze mirrors like this He also didn't have much knowledge about rare objects.
"Oh, I don't know how Mr. Fang knew it was from the Qing Dynasty. Can you tell me?" Shen Gang still asked expressionlessly. I can't tell, and you can't tell either. Now let's see how you step down. If you want to fool me like this, I, no way, Shen Gang was completely sure in his heart that Fang You, who was lucky enough, couldn't tell anything from the bronze mirror.
Liu Tingting looked at Fang You nervously. She really didn't want Fang You to be laughed at by Shen Gang for helping her.
"Haha, can't Mr. Shen see that?" Fang You smiled, he didn't want to be manipulated by Shen Gang.
Shen Gang was also a bachelor and shook his head directly, "Mr. Fang, I don't know much about bronze mirrors. I would like to ask Mr. Fang for advice."
Speaking of this, if Fang Tan can't tell the characteristics, I'm afraid it won't be Shen Gang who will be embarrassed, but him. Just now he said it was from the Qing Dynasty, but now he can't tell the characteristics. This is not trying to make a fool of himself. behavior?
"Now that Mr. Shen has spoken, let me tell you. Mr. Shen, please turn around along the thin edge of the bronze mirror and take a closer look. Then you will know whether what I said is right or not." Fang You smiled. He carefully observed the bronze mirror, not just for fun. After absorbing the aura of the bronze mirror with his escape technique, he found some evidence from it.
Shen Gang shook his head and smiled, as if he thought Fang You was still fooling him, but looking at Fang You's serious expression, he was suddenly a little surprised. Could it be that Fang You really saw something.
Suddenly, Shen Gang turned around along the thin edge of the bronze mirror, observing carefully. Suddenly, he seemed to find something. With the dim light, he observed carefully for a long time, and then he could see the faint handwriting on it clearly, Qing Dynasty. Xuantong year system.
The words written on it made him look shocked. His gaze towards Fang You was no longer as indifferent as before. In this dim light, Fang You could actually observe the things he ignored to the extreme. This It has been shown that Fang You's eyesight is much stronger than his own.
At this time, Old Man Xu had already walked out of the back room, holding a large flowerpot in his arms. Boss Wu nodded to Shen Gang and indicated that this was the heirloom of Old Man Xu's family.
Old man Xu walked very slowly, one step at a time, holding the flowerpot in his hands tightly, as if he was afraid of bumping into it. When he came to a few people, he carefully placed the flowerpot on the case, "This is I am planning to pass down the family heirloom to my son. Be careful not to touch it with your hands. I only want you to see it. I will not sell it for any price." Old man Xu said firmly, as if he was inoculating Fang You and others.
The flowerpot is overall green, and seems to be somewhat transparent. Under the dim light, it emits a faint green light. At first glance, Fang You thought he saw emerald, but in fact, the glaze color of this flowerpot is extremely green. Coupled with the dim light, it really seems like seeing jasper.
Not only Fang You, but Shen Gang and his men also had shocked expressions on their faces. This flowerpot looked like it was carved from jade, and was completely green, with a little bit of white mixed in between the two colors. Added to it, it makes the flowerpot look white and green inside, as if it really is like emerald.
Seeing the shock on the faces of several people, Old Man Xu said with a little pride, "Hey, my ancestor was a high official in the Qing Dynasty. He also managed to get this piece of porcelain, so he regarded it as a treasure and tried his best to warn us. , even if you are too poor to eat, you can't sell it. It is said that this porcelain seems to be from some kiln in the Southern Song Dynasty."
"Longquan Kiln..." Fang You and Shen Gang spoke at the same time, looked at each other, and nodded lightly.
The Song Dynasty was the most glorious period for Chinese porcelain. Almost all the famous kilns in each dynasty were founded in the Song Dynasty and became famous throughout the country. The five famous official kilns, Jun, Ru, Ge, Ding and Guan, represented the highest level of Song Dynasty porcelain.
Fang You is the most concerned about porcelain, and most of the antique knowledge he learned from Mr. Chu is about porcelain. Just because he has the earth escape technique, most of the antiques made of earth are porcelain, and Fang You is proficient in the five major kilns. Couldn't be more skilled.
He is also familiar with some of the characteristics and origins of Longquan Kiln. Although Longquan Kiln is a folk kiln, it is one of the most famous folk kilns in the Southern Song Dynasty. Longquan Kiln was founded in the Wei and Jin Dynasties and ended in the Qing Dynasty, producing porcelain. With a history of more than 1,600 years, it is the kiln system with the longest history of making porcelain in China.
During the Southern Song Dynasty, Longquan kiln was at its peak. The Yue kiln celadon that was most prosperous in the Tang Dynasty had already entered its decline. However, only the quality of Longquan kiln celadon was obviously improving, especially its original pink celadon glaze and plum porcelain. Celadon glaze has reached the peak of the beauty of celadon glaze color.
Unexpectedly, he saw the Longquan kiln at Old Man Xu's home. Fang You's face was no longer so calm, and he was a little excited as he carefully observed the Longquan porcelain that was better than jade.
Combining the knowledge he had learned, after just a few glances, Fang You knew that the flowerpot in front of him was the most famous pink celadon glaze porcelain of Longquan kiln. Pink celadon glaze porcelain has a light green color to its glaze. Looking at the porcelain in front of us, it has already achieved a jade-like effect, which shows that the quality of its firing is of the highest quality.
Although Boss Wu had already seen it once, when he saw this piece of porcelain again, he couldn't help but sigh, how beautiful it would be to have such a piece of porcelain in his room. Unfortunately, old man Xu just didn't sell it. .
Shen Gang carefully held the magnifying glass and carefully observed the glaze color on it. The porcelain from the five famous kilns was priceless and extremely rare. The same was true for this Longquan kiln. This was the first time he saw this Longquan kiln. Naturally, he was very cautious. On the one hand, I want to improve my eyesight, and on the other hand, I want to enjoy the unique charm brought by this Longquan kiln.
Relying on the knowledge he remembered, Fang You nodded slightly. The glaze color of the Longquan kiln was smooth and delicate, but there was also a sense of thickness hidden in it. Mr. Chu specifically told him about the imitation characteristics of the Longquan kiln. Although its glaze color was different from the real one. It is similar to the Longquan kiln, but it lacks the restrained and thick feeling of Longquan kiln, and often appears shiny.
And now the faint green light displayed by the Longquan kiln under the dim light is the floating light that Mr. Chu said. Having never seen the real Longquan kiln, Fang You was confused and looked at it. This extremely beautiful Longquan kiln made me frown.
After thinking about it, Fang You shook his head and smiled, and immediately activated his escape technique. As soon as his eyes laid eyes on the porcelain, a large amount of spiritual energy surged into his body. His calm face couldn't help but show shock. This was the real Longquan kiln.
Observing it again, Fang You discovered the difference between the light and the floating light on the Longquan kiln. The floating light floats on the surface, but this green light is emitted from the inside of the glaze. Although there is light, it is not. It is not as glamorous as the floating light at all, but it attracts everyone's attention more than the floating light.
Shen Gang was also undecided about this beautiful Longquan kiln. As soon as he raised his head, he saw Fang You's shocked face. He was a little surprised. Could it be that Fang You had discovered something else? The bronze mirror incident just now had already shocked him. Putting aside Fang You's contempt, he couldn't help but glance at Fang You when he saw the shock on Fang You's face.
Sensing Shen Gang's gaze, Fang You smiled, then nodded slightly toward the porcelain. Seeing Fang You's actions, and then looking at the porcelain, Shen Gang felt a little excited. Could this really be the Southern Song Dynasty? Is Longquan kiln authentic?
Seeing the shock of several people, the look of pride on Old Man Xu's face became even greater, "Hey, hey guys, how are you doing with this family heirloom of mine? Some people offered me 500,000 yuan but I didn't even sell it. My ancestors had a hard time getting it." My treasure, specially kept as a family heirloom, even if you give me a gold mountain, I will not trade it."
Hearing old man Xu's words, Fang You couldn't help but smile. Damn, I didn't even sell half a million yuan. You are so proud. If you sell it, you will probably regret it for the rest of your life. This is like jasper, better than jade. How can Longquan Kiln be bought for only 500,000 yuan?
This beautiful Longquan kiln really made Fang You a little excited, but looking at the appearance of this old man, he would not sell it if he bid low. If he bid high, I am afraid he would treat it as a treasure even more, or else, use escape skills to shun it. Walking it, Fang You couldn't help but have this thought.
But he dismissed this idea from his mind in an instant. How was he different from those trash scum by stealing other people's heirlooms? However, things in this old house would not be that simple. It might as well wait a while to make plans.
Seeing the pride on old man Xu's face, Fang You also had a smile on his face.
