- "Although this wine is sought after by many people, it is simply not sold enough. But because it has no local characteristics, it failed to pass the production place designation after applying for it for three years, so it can only be used as a regional table wine." Meng Zhe did not know about this bottle Table wine costs more than 600 francs.
"Then why can't it pass?" Meng Zhe was very interested in this. [bsp; ¡°Because it has no local characteristics!¡±
Seeing that Meng Zhe was very interested in French wine culture, Jon explained it to him in detail.
It turns out that the table wine he drank just now is recognized by many people because it is blended with 50% of the grape variety Merlot (me
Lot), according to the regulations of baux, after it exceeds 20%, it is not considered a local grape variety, and the taste will naturally change, so it does not have the characteristics of baux.
Regulations such as baux play a very important role in protecting the main characteristics and main characteristics of wine.
"Is it difficult to apply for a place of origin?"
"certainly!"
In many ¡°New World¡± regions (that is, regions outside of Europe), wines are classified by grape variety¡ªsuch as Pinot Noir, Merlot, and Chardonnay. French wines are usually classified according to their place of origin.
¡°Each origin has a very strict terroir and a.o.c. The origin naming system plays a huge role in protecting French wine culture.¡±
Terroir is the most important term in the French wine-making process. It includes many concepts, such as microclimate, landform, soil composition, etc.
These reasons will make subtle differences between vineyards and vineyards. France has specially named production areas and vineyards based on terroir.
From table wine to a.o.c. (legal production area), this designation is divided into four levels.
a.o.c. It is a guarantee for the quality and variety of wine, and legally protects these production areas and combats counterfeiting.
Each region has its own set of a.o.c. Certification covers all villages in the district.
There will be ** a.o.c in the area. It is for some vineyards with particularly special terroir.
"The production area I just talked about is just the first step in distinguishing the taste of wine."
After listening to his words, Meng Zhe suddenly understood the truth. No matter how good the wine is, without the main characteristics of the place, it is not considered a local product.
Just like someone treats you to Peking duck, you already know what the duck tastes like before you even take it into your mouth. This is how people are familiar with the characteristics of property owners.
Many areas where watering is not allowed are strictly stipulated by law. Even if the grapes die of drought, watering is not allowed! Of course, grapevines generally survive drought. Meng Zhe was shocked by such strict legal regulations.
There is a book for each place of origin, which clearly records the definition of the region, accurate to the number of degrees and seconds of east longitude, using such precise units.
Although the grapevine plants are close together, the name of the place of origin is no longer in the row. This allowed Meng Zhe to understand the secret to the success of French wines taking the world by storm - the designation of origin control system.
¡°Jon, you gave me a new appreciation for French wine.¡±
"Meng, I just talked a little bit. If I talked about it all, I wouldn't be able to finish it for days and nights." After dinner, Meng Zhe was invited to Qiaoen's living room for tea.
There were several pieces of blue and white porcelain placed in Qiaoen's living room, and one of the blue and white porcelain bottles caught Meng Zhe's attention. This vase has extremely beautiful lines, very fine painting, and is very ornamental.
The vase is painted with majestic and continuous mountains, lush trees and houses nestled near mountains and rivers. Although the paintings are of mountains and rivers, they are grand and grand, and the artistic conception is free and far-reaching.
"Jon, are you interested in Chinese porcelain?" Meng Zhe was still staring at the vase as he spoke.
"He is obsessed with studying Chinese porcelain." Mrs. Jon said with a smile.
"Meng, I bought this at an auction several years ago." As he spoke, Jon handed the vase that Meng Zhe was staring at into his hand.
As soon as Meng Zhe got started with it, he felt that it should be a good thing. He looked carefully at the exquisite vase in his hand.
The vase adopts the lantern shape that was very popular during the Yongzheng period and the early Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. It has an open mouth, a girdle neck, plump shoulders, a tapered belly, and a circle foot.
The carcass is white, the shape is upright, the enamel is thick and moist, and the blue and white are green in color. The bottle body is about 50 centimeters high. The bottom of the bottle is glazed with white glaze and is printed with the seal script inscription "Made in the Qianlong Year of the Qing Dynasty" in three columns and six characters.
"Oh, Jon, this thing is so precious! It should have been fired at the Jingdezhen Royal Kiln in the Qing Dynasty!"
Although he judged whether this thing was true or false, he still did not dare to draw a conclusion easily. He secretly thought in his heart: It is true??Everything is abroad.
Although Meng Zhe learned a lot about antiques from Zhang Zhendong, this was the first time he saw the genuine blue and white porcelain.
Meng Zhe did not listen to Qiaoen's heart, but wanted to make a judgment based on his own knowledge.
He carefully looked at the inscriptions on the porcelain and the writing instruments. The royal seal on the base of the vase and the impressive Chinese characters on the vase are enough to prove its preciousness.
"Could this ceramic treasure be the work of Tang Ying, the most outstanding pottery inspector in the Qing Dynasty?"
As soon as his words came out of his mouth, Jon smiled and clapped. Meng Zhe, who made the correct judgment, was also very happy. Seeing real blue and white flowers for the first time, he couldn't put it down.
As one of the most famous porcelain makers in the Qing Dynasty and even in Chinese history, Tang Ying (1682-1756) was a calligrapher, painter, seal engraver and playwright who served as the pottery supervisor of the Jingdezhen imperial kilns during the Yongzheng and Qianlong reigns of the Qing Dynasty. The porcelain he fired while supervising pottery in Jingdezhen is known as the "Tang Kiln" in the world.
Its production level and quality have reached unprecedented heights, and it has had an extremely important impact on Chinese and foreign ceramic production.
Tang Ying himself also personally participated in the production of porcelain, and many of his works have been handed down from generation to generation. It is reported that the Qianlong Year was the heyday of the development of feudal society in the Qing Dynasty.
Porcelain production has achieved unprecedented prosperity, and blue and white porcelain has reached its peak.
Its rich variety of firings, diverse types, and gorgeous decorations are unprecedented in Chinese history.
"Meng, how many more surprises do you want to give me!" Qiaoen, who has always been keen on collecting porcelain, admired Meng Zhe extremely.
"Jon, this is just my personal inference and may not be correct."
"Meng, you are absolutely right!"
"Jon, I like it very much, can you transfer it to me?" Meng Zhe was moved after hearing what Jon said.
With money in his pocket, he is not afraid of Jon¡¯s price. This good thing is hard to come by. If you miss it, you will regret it for the rest of your life.
"Meng, let's not talk about money, I will give you this vase!" Jon said proudly.
Jon, who accepted Meng Zhe¡¯s red wine, was planning to give him a gift in return when he returned to China.
"No, no, Jon, this gift is too heavy, I can't accept it!" Meng Zhe declined cautiously.
Seeing that Meng Zhe insisted, Qiaoen thought for a while and said, "Meng, let's do this. If you can help me buy what I want, I will give you this vase as a thank you gift. How about that?"
"I'm very willing to help! Jon, don't tell me, let me guess!" Meng Zhe already knew what Jon wanted him to buy and readily agreed.
"You want me to get Romanee-Conti from Claude for you! Haha"
"Meng, you are so smart!"
"This is a good idea! Exchange the wine for the vase, deal!" Meng Zhe knew that Claude would definitely give him this face.
Without further ado, he immediately called Claude. After a while of greetings, Meng Zhe told him about buying wine.
As he expected, Claude was very considerate to him and readily agreed to his request. Overjoyed, Qiaoen sent the vase into Meng Zhe's arms.
On the way to send Meng Zhe back to the hotel, Jon, who was chatting with him about collecting, received a call from a friend inviting him to attend an auction tomorrow.
After hanging up the phone, Qiaoen asked Meng Zhe to go with him. Now that he was rich, Meng Zhe naturally wanted to realize his dream of collecting, and he readily accepted.
When Meng Zhe and Qiaoen went to the auction house, many people were already doing pre-photography appreciation. Meng Zhe took the introduction and started to read it.
The purpose of his coming to the auction with Jon this time was actually to broaden his horizons, and he did not expect to get anything good.
Today¡¯s exhibits are mainly calligraphy and painting. Introduction The lots introduced earlier are works by Western artists that Meng Zhe has little interest in. When he turned to the back, an item caught his attention.
The introduction does not introduce in detail the seven chapters of the Nanhua Sutra written in small regular script by Wang Chong, a famous calligrapher of the Ming Dynasty in China in 1516, only the numbers of Liao and Liao. Meng Zhe quickly searched for all the knowledge about this calligrapher in his mind.
Wang Chong (1494-1533), whose given name was Luren, was changed to Luji, and whose name was Yayishan. He was a native of Wuxian County (now Suzhou, Jiangsu Province). All students, after repeated examinations and unfavorable results, contributed to the Imperial Academy.
He is erudite and talented, good at seal carving, and good at landscapes, flowers and birds. He is good at poetry, proficient in calligraphy, good at regular script, and is particularly exquisite in cursive writing. Together with Zhu Yunming and Wen Zhengming, he has a close friendship with Chen Chun.
He was a famous calligrapher in the mid-Ming Dynasty. He is the author of "Collection of Yayi Mountain People", and his handed down books include "Album of Poems", "Volume of Miscellaneous Poems", "The Thousand Character Essay", "Nineteen Ancient Poems", "Volume of Li Bai's Ancient Style Poems", etc.
He is Wu ?The representative of the calligraphy school was also the backbone of the calligraphy circle in the mid-Ming Dynasty. His calligraphy first learned from Cai Yu, and later from Jin Dynasty. His regular script absorbed the charm of Yu Shinan, and his running script followed Wang Xianzhi's calligraphy.
Meng Zhe was overjoyed! I just got a lantern bottle yesterday. If I can take pictures of this collection again today, I will come away with a rich harvest this time.
With the set goal in mind, Meng Zhe and Qiaoen were conducting pre-shooting appreciation in the exhibition hall.
He clearly felt that most of the people here today came here for the several works of French painter Pierre Pengonpin.
Jon happily pulled people to join the appreciation team. Although Meng Zhe is not interested in Western art, it does not mean that he does not understand it.
I caught a cold today and felt dizzy. I forgot about the update! Sorry for being later! Asking for a red ticket! If you have a vote, please vote. Thank you! Please collect it, thank you! - Didn't finish reading?
