Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Shi Dabin conducted in-depth research on the mud preparation, molding techniques, modeling design and inscription of purple clay pottery.  They make good use of various types of clay or mix sand pottery clay into clay. There are praises for "the coarse sand and ancient strands are smoothed out".  It established a highly difficult technical system of forming out of thin air using clay flakes and inlays that is still followed by the purple sand industry today.  Not many of his works have survived. According to incomplete statistics, there are only a dozen purple clay teapots that have been mentioned in writings. They are collected in museums or private individuals in various places. Therefore, antique collectors and purple clay teapot enthusiasts all regard "Shi Hu" as the  Standard.  Because of the great reputation of "Shi Hu", not only after Shi Dabin's death, but also when he was still alive, there were many fakes. There is a saying that "there are people selling Shi Hu in the market, and the fakes are often not genuine." Therefore, it is said,  It is extremely difficult to obtain an authentic Shi Dabin product.  This purple clay pot is a small pot, also known as "a pot". Its shape is basically the same as the purple clay pot made by Song Jun just used. It is also a sand-making hat pot.  This pot is maroon in color, with light-colored fine sand mottled on its surface, and the color is bright yellow, with grains looming.  These orange-yellow fine sands are commonly known as "osmanthus sand". This pot uses traditional sand-mixing decoration techniques. The selected fine sand grains are blended into the mud, making the "osmanthus sand" looming on the surface of the pot body, like swirling waves.  petals.  The processing ratio has reached a very high level of purple sand materials, and the coordination of the texture and overall shape formed by the sand adjustment also shows the superb production skills.  The lid is in the shape of a hat, with a raised surface and an oval button placed on the lid. The body of the pot is larger and spherical, converging from the abdomen downwards to the soles of the feet and upwards to the shoulders.  The final inscription is in regular script "Shi Dabin System" carved with a bamboo knife, with the addition of stems and branches. The knife and pen are deep and powerful, and there are more bones than flesh.  Looking at the overall shape of this pot, we cannot say that it is simple and powerful, with a combination of strength and softness. It can be described in four words: "rough but not flattering", "simple but elegant", "coarse and ancient", "simple, elegant and firm"  .  This pot has both the "Dabin" designation and stems and branches, and is extremely finely crafted. It is a rare treasure, extremely rare, and truly precious.  "Shi Hu" is even more precious because of its scarcity, which also makes it more difficult for people to identify its authenticity.  It can be said that this is a rare opportunity for Chu Chen to observe carefully at such a close range, allowing him to have a standard in the antique market that is now filled with a large number of fakes.  After carefully viewing this "time pot", Chu Chen breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and at the same time he also felt attached to this pot. Such a majestic and exquisite purple clay pot, no wonder Uncle Fu would be reluctant to part with it.  The same is certainly true for oneself.  Chu Chen put the pot into the brocade box and said in an envious tone: "This pot is really exquisite. Master Song, you are so lucky." Because he was about to get this "time pot", Song Jun wanted to  Shi was also overjoyed, thanked Zhu Dafu, and said thank you to Chu Chen.  Zhu Dafu stroked the pot carefully and said with emotion: "To be honest, I am really reluctant to give up, but thinking about myself, I am getting older and there is no suitable successor among the younger generations. Sooner or later, I will have to pay for it."  Find a good home for your collection, and just follow Master Song¡¯s wishes this time.¡± Chu Chen quickly said: ¡°Uncle Fu, you are only seventy-two, how can you say you are old? Besides, you still have Sister Xin.  " Zhu Dafu laughed and said: "Don't worry, I'm just expressing my feelings about yesterday's trip. But don't count on your sister Xin. Although she likes antiques, she mainly values ??the economic value inside.  To be honest, this is actually the tragedy of our industry. " "Although there are more people who like collecting recently, most people are interested in the economic benefits. Let's not talk about it. After all, we don't have money.  The collection cannot continue, but many of them know little about the collection. How can we pass on the culture of our ancestors if this continues? " These words made the two of them think deeply. Although money is good, money is too much.  If there are too many, it will become a stinker, and the more benefits there are, the more monsters and monsters will be attracted, and the corresponding artistic and cultural value of antiques will be reduced a lot in people's minds.  Art and culture are often priceless, because it is our spiritual food, and it is also a kind of inheritance. There is always a value for money. If money controls art and culture, it will not only destroy the inheritance of our ancestors, but also destroy the inheritance of our ancestors.  To be more serious, it will also destroy the future of human civilization.  So the relationship between antiques and money is actually a bit like the relationship between life and money. Your life cannot be separated from money, but your life cannot be controlled by money.  Similarly, antiques are inseparable from money, but discussing antiques solely in terms of money will lose the value that antiques should originally embody.  "As people get older, they talk more. Let's?It's enough to do what you should do. It's getting late now, so let's sign the transfer agreement quickly!  "Zhu Dafu took out the four transfer agreements that he had prepared and said to the two of them with a smile. Chu Chen took his own agreement and looked at it briefly. After five years of antique career, he was also very familiar with this thing.  Yes, the agreement is actually quite simple. It is usually in a format. You only need to write the names of both parties A and B, and then write down the amount and items. If both parties have no objections, just sign their names and dates. This is a very particular business in antiques.  Once the purchase is settled and such an agreement is signed, it means that the buyer has confirmed the authenticity of the item, and there is no reason to settle accounts later. Another option is for the seller to issue an appraisal certificate. If the buyer finds the item is fake after taking it back.  Yes, then you can settle the account with the seller. But now some appraisal certificates are ambiguous. For example, if the buyer buys a piece of Hetian jade, the appraisal certificate proves that it is jade. When the buyer returns home, he discovers that it is not jade.  It's not Hetian jade but Russian jade. Even if you go to the seller, you can't get any explanation. Therefore, when buying antiques, you must keep your eyes open. As the saying goes, what you buy is not good at selling. If you are new to antiques, you should not think about it.  When settling accounts after the fall, when you see antiques with appraisal certificates, you have to be more cautious. Chu Chen took the pen, then filled in the name of the item, the amount, and then signed the name and date to conclude the deal.  And it was a coincidence that there was a witness who signed the agreement, and Song Jun happened to be there, so he could act as the witness, and he also happened to be the witness for Song Jun's agreement. In fact, there are indeed certain witnesses on the agreement.  It works, but it is not a decisive factor. If there are no conditions, it doesn't matter if you don't write it. After everyone signed the agreement, they walked to the bank. Fortunately, the bank was not far away. It was only a few minutes' walk away.  As he walked, he said to Zhu Dafu: "Uncle Fu, why don't you write a check, so that the transaction will not be so troublesome, and you can save time.  " Zhu Dafu said with a smile: "I'm getting older, and I'm not used to using checks, and I'm old and my eyesight is dazzled. If I accidentally read or write the wrong thing, I'll be in trouble. It's more convenient to go to the bank. Besides, we won't always encounter today.  For such large transactions, cash is usually enough.  " After transferring the money from the bank, Chu Chen withdrew 50,000 yuan. Although 50,000 yuan seems to be quite a lot, the rent for broadband alone costs about 20,000 yuan, the computer costs more than 10,000 yuan, and other money is still needed.  Fifty thousand yuan can be easily spent on purchasing goods and purchasing collections. It is really easy to earn and easy to spend. However, Chu Chen was still very excited when he looked at the 450,000 yuan in his account.  He only lost 420,000 a few days ago, and today he not only made up for the loss, but also gained tens of thousands. At this time, Song Jun looked at his watch and said, "It's time for dinner.  Well, how about I treat you two to a meal today?  " When Chu Chen heard this, he turned around and said to them: "How can I ask Master Song to treat me to dinner? I made a small fortune today, and I am still a landlord. I will definitely do my part in treating guests.  " Seeing that Song Jun was still being polite, Zhu Dafu smiled and said: "Okay, Master Song, let's rob Xiao Chen, the little rich man, today. Next time we go to Y*xing, we will have to trouble Master Song.  Landlord.  " Song Jun had no choice but to nod in agreement to this arrangement, so Chu Chen took them to find a relatively high-end private restaurant. Now that he had food in hand, he was not panicking, and he really looked like a small landlord. " During the period of three  There was a heated discussion about the purple clay pot and the tea ceremony. Of course, Chu Chen was still a newcomer in these two aspects. Mainly Zhu Dafu and Song Jun said that in general, a meal is about the enjoyment of the guest and the host.  At the same time, Chu Chen learned a lot of knowledge and became more interested in tea ceremony. Although a few vegetables cost more than a thousand yuan, Chu Chen felt that it was quite rewarding. Not to mention the quality of the dishes was really good. First of all, with  He got to know Song Jun a lot. At the end of the conversation, Song Jun also agreed to give him a tea set made by his novice. This made Chu Chen a little excited. After all, Song Jun was also a well-known pot-making master in the local area.  To get his works, not to mention the money, it often takes time to wait. This made Chu Chen happy and kept saying, "How embarrassing!"  ". After the meal, the three of them said goodbye to each other. Because Song Jun had something to do at home, he directly booked a train for the afternoon and was ready to go back. It turned out that Chu Chen planned to invite him to play for two days and ask him about the tea ceremony, but now he just  We can wait until the next opportunity to talk about it. But Song Jun is always a busy man. I don¡¯t know how long it will take for the two of them to see each other again. Fortunately, communication is now developed, so there is nothing he doesn¡¯t understand about the tea ceremony.  , and you can also use the phoneCommunicate, but in the end it is still not as convenient as communicating with real people.
