    It should be said that Xiao Ma has long wanted to sell this plum vase to improve his living environment, but he has been struggling to find a good buyer. Either he thinks the thing is too expensive, or he wants something like this, so he has been putting it off until now.  Now that he finally has a big customer like Chu Chen, he will agree even if he gives up some benefits.  Xiao Ma smiled and said to Chu Chen: "Mr. Chu, this auction does not have such a price, but that is because the auction did not produce such high-quality products. Of course, if you really want it, I can also give you a cheaper price."  Some" Next, the two bargained for a while, and finally set the price at 3.6 million, and everyone was happy for a while.  ????????????????????????????????????????????????????]  After completing the transaction, Xiao Ma originally wanted to invite Chu Chen and the others to lunch, but when Chu Chen saw that it was not even half past ten and it was too late to go back to the hotel for dinner, he politely refused.  Afterwards, they got in a business car called by Xiao Ma and returned to the hotel.  After getting out of the car, Chu Chen held the plum bottle in his arms and walked to the hotel. He said to Zuo Shan: "I have already contacted the transportation department. They will be here in about an hour. You can just follow them." Zuo Shan.  Shan Wenyan nodded solemnly: "Young Master Chu, don't worry! I will definitely send this bottle back to Beijing safely!" Chu Chen chuckled: "You are doing things, what else am I worried about Hey  ! Mr. Xu, are you in such a hurry? " As soon as they said this, the three of them met Mr. Xu who had just finished eating and looked a little hurried.  "Isn't this Xiao Chu, you guys are going back. I have to hurry up and study those manuscripts!" Mr. Xu laughed, and then he noticed the plum vase in Chu Chen's hand.  The whole person was stunned for a while.  He was a little shocked and asked: "Xiao Chu, your plum vase seems to be from the Cizhou Kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty, right?" Chu Chen smiled and nodded: "Yes, it was indeed fired by the Cizhou Kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty.  " Mr. Xu opened his mouth when he heard this, then looked at the plum bottle carefully, and then said: "This Xiao Chu, your luck is really bad, no matter how good things are, you still have them in your hands.  Come on, you didn't pick up this plum vase again, did you?" Chu Chen smiled and shook his head: "How could you pick up something like this?" "That's true!" Haha!  Smiling, he knew that he was wrong. If Chu Chen could even miss such a thing, then he didn't know what to say.  Mr. Xu continued: "However, as long as the price is not outrageous, I think it is still worth it. Moreover, I think the message reflected in this plum vase is very extraordinary!" "Yes! I think so too!" said  Pick up this plum vase.  Chu Chen immediately forgot about his hunger and said excitedly: "Mr. Xu, this is not the place to talk. Let's go to my room and continue the discussion!" "Okay" He said.  Chu Chen took everyone back to his room, but when Wu Ke walked to the door, he said to Zuo Shan: "Brother Zuo. You go to eat first, and you can prepare some food for us later." "  Okay" Chu Chen returned to the room.  He carefully placed the plum vase on the table and asked Mr. Xu to appreciate it first.  More than ten minutes passed.  Xu Laocai took a long breath and praised: "What a good thing! What a good thing! This is the first time I have seen a plum vase from the Cizhou Kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty with such exquisite craftsmanship and such a large size. What's even more rare is that it is still used.  The technique of deflowering with black glaze on white ground was very difficult for the craftsmanship at that time.  It is necessary to first apply white makeup soil on the carcass, and then apply black makeup soil. On the semi-dry makeup soil, quickly carve out the black makeup soil other than the peony flowers and leaves to expose the white base, and then draw out the peony petals.  Leaf stems, curly grass, lotus petals and other patterns are then dried and then glazed with transparent glaze, which shows the difficulty of its craftsmanship.  This technique mostly appeared in Cizhou kilns from the 11th to 12th centuries, and later had a wide impact on neighboring porcelain kilns.  "Yes, I have never seen such Northern Song Dynasty Cizhou kiln porcelain in any museum or magazine before." Chu Chen also looked very excited.  "So, you are very lucky!" Mr. Xu sighed with envy, and then asked with a smile: "By the way, since you said just now that this plum vase is extraordinary, can you tell me a little bit about it?  What's so unusual about it?" Chu Chen smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Xu, what I said is unusual is just a guess, but it can't be taken seriously."bsp; Mr. Xu smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, just say it. As long as it's not random guessing!" "Okay, then I'll tell you my opinion. Please help me correct anything I'm wrong!" Chu Chen  He hugged his fists to Mr. Xu, and then expressed his thoughts: "I think the entrance of the kiln where this plum vase was made should be the official kiln in Cizhou kiln" At this point, Wu stood next to him  But he interrupted: "Achen, isn't it? Cizhou kiln is not a private kiln, why is there an official kiln? And if it is an official kiln, why is there no corresponding record in the documents at that time?" "That's why I said  It's just a guess!" Chu Chen spread his hands and said with a smile: "However, I have a basis for my guess." "What basis?" asked Mr. Xu.  Chu Chen explained with a smile: "The earliest document recording the Cizhou kiln in history is Cao Zhao's "Gegu Yaolun" during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty. However, Cao Zhao did not say when the Cizhou kiln was opened. It was not until the Qing Dynasty that the Cizhou kiln was opened.  In the literature, Cizhou kiln was only mentioned in the Northern Song Dynasty, but whether it was a private kiln or an official kiln was not mentioned. " "However, in the Ming Dynasty documents, it is recorded that there were more than forty official kilns in Cizhou kiln.  Therefore, the porcelain altar built every year was accepted in Guanglu Temple. In addition, there is a record of the number of tributes paid by Cizhou kiln in the "Da Ming Huidian". The annual tribute of more than 10,000 royal vases and altars. " "Here, I want to explain.  One point, the "Guanglu Temple" in the article refers to Guanglu Temple Qing or Guanglu Qing. This official position was in the Ming Dynasty and was responsible for royal wine, etiquette and food. It did not exist in the Song Dynasty. However, although there was no such position in the Song Dynasty, the royal family always had to drink.  "You must know that in Bianjing in the Northern Song Dynasty, the royal family had feasts and songs every day, which required a large amount of wine and wine bottles and altars. During festivals and birthdays, the royal family had to give wine to each other.  The royal nobles would give more than 900 bottles of wine at a time on festivals. It can be seen that the royal family of the Northern Song Dynasty used an incalculable amount of wine. "Then the question arises, which bottles and jars are used for such a large amount of wine."  What about the porcelain produced by Ci Kiln? I think there must have been a royal porcelain factory that produced high-end wine bottles and wine jars." Upon hearing this, Wu Ke asked: "Achen, you mean, the Northern Song Dynasty.  The Cizhou kiln is also like the Cizhou kiln in the Ming Dynasty. Is part of the kiln mouth specially used to make wine vessels for the royal family? " "This point is not easy to be sure because there are no written records, but I speculate that at that time  It is very possible that some of the kiln mouths of the Cizhou Kiln were official kilns. "Chu Chen explained: "As we all know, there were five famous official kilns in the Northern Song Dynasty. Most of the five famous kiln wares were adult utensils, study utensils, and vases.  There are very few pots and altars, and there are even fewer large bottles and altars. Besides, there is no record of the five famous kiln wares of the Northern Song Dynasty. The earliest record is found in the "Xuande Ding Yi Pu" in the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty.  It is not surprising that there are no documented records of imperial wine bottles and wine jars in the Northern Song Dynasty" Next, Chu Chen explained why he thought that part of the Cizhou kiln in the Northern Song Dynasty was an official kiln, and he was very interested in hearing it.  Lao and Wu Ke nodded repeatedly.  At the end, Chu Chen let out a long sigh and said: "It's a pity that the Northern Song Dynasty was too short, and because of the war, some materials at that time were also destroyed. Otherwise, we might be able to find that Cizhou Kiln also had official kilns during the Northern Song Dynasty."  "Evidence." Mr. Xu smiled slightly and said: "History has many uncertain factors. It is precisely because of this that our cultural relics research is fun. To put it bluntly, if everything is recorded in documents, then we  Why do you still need to spend so much effort on research?" Chu Chen smiled and nodded: "That's right!" At this time, Wu Ke asked curiously: "Achen, since it is your guess that there were official kilns in Cizhou Kiln in the Northern Song Dynasty.  "Then why do you think this plum vase is a work of the official Cizhou Kiln?" "First of all, you need to know what the white ground black glaze deflowering technique is" Chu Chen first introduced this technique and then explained.  : "The difficulty of this kind of craft lies in the fact that it must first have a final pattern, and then use a combination of picking, carving and scratching techniques. This requires the craftsman to have extremely high skills and paint on the semi-dry cosmetic soil with flying colors.  The knife is like a pen, and the carving is as smooth as painting on rice paper, and then it is filled with pottery in a large sagger. ¡± ¡°In the Northern Song Dynasty, almost a thousand years ago, craftsmen were able to create such domineering and neat works.  The difficulty and cost of making a large wine bottle are definitely not what a private kiln can do. Its users should only be the royal family, otherwise how could ordinary people have the money to buy such porcelain? " Listen to Chu?  Chen's explanation made Mr. Xu couldn't help but applaud: "Okay! It's well-reasoned. I can't believe it. After seeing this plum vase, Mr. Yu and the others could still swear that there must be no official kiln in Cizhou kiln in the Northern Song Dynasty."  ! ¡± Chu ChenHearing this, he said: "Mr. Yu, although I also think that such a plum vase should be made by an official kiln, I can't prove it just by my words!" Mr. Xu waved his hand: "As for the evidence, I will definitely provide it in the future.  If we find something, we should make bold assumptions and verify it carefully, unlike the old stubborn people like them who say that there is no key evidence, so what they do is completely one-size-fits-all!" Seeing Xu Lao Sui!  Although Chu Chen thought it was funny, he couldn't say anything more. After all, this was a competition between seniors, so what did it mean for him to get involved?  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster! ps: 925 and 926 are chapters owed on the 24th!
