When he sat back down, Qiao Qingtai said with some worry: "Xiao Chu, I admit that this thing does look like a genuine one, but you should also know that Ming  The porcelain that failed to be selected from the early official kilns rarely spread to the people. "The reason why Qiao Qingtai said this is because the official kilns of the Ming and Qing Dynasties were funded by the government and sent to preside over the firing. The products were mainly for the enjoyment of the emperor and the royal family, or for making.  The quality requirements for royal temple sacrificial vessels and gifts from the emperor are self-evident.  The porcelain handed down from official kilns that we see today is generally of fine quality and flawless craftsmanship.  But behind these exquisite heirlooms, there are a large number of defective products as the price.  As mentioned above, the proportion of high-quality imperial porcelain in the official kilns of the Ming Dynasty was often "one out of ten" or even "one out of a hundred."  Except for the different quality of the selected porcelain, the decoration method and decoration content are exactly the same.  According to the regulations at that time, any porcelain with a double-horned and five-clawed dragon pattern, yellow glaze, and an emperor's year mark was only for the use of the emperor and the royal family, and was strictly prohibited from being distributed among the people.  Under the constraints of this system, in the early Ming Dynasty, from about the Hongwu to Jiajing years.  The porcelain that is not selected at the Royal Ware Factory in the Porcelain Capital is usually broken into pieces and buried on the spot, and is not allowed to leave the factory gate.  This also includes some of the "all-American utensils" that were redundant after completing the imperial court's burning and selection tasks, but were smashed because they were not allowed to flow into the private sector.  This has been confirmed during contemporary archaeological excavations.  It can be inferred from this.  It is almost impossible for official kiln porcelain to become popular among the people in the early Ming Dynasty, and due to the strict craftsmanship system implemented in the early Ming Dynasty, it is impossible for official kiln styles to be imitated in private kilns.  Therefore, the official kiln porcelain of this period that has been handed down to this day, except for the blue and white porcelain exported in the early years of Hongwu, the large underglaze red porcelain, the large bowl and Yongle, the blue and white porcelain of the Western Regions style produced by Xuande for Zheng He's voyages to the West, and the emperor's rewards.  In addition to porcelain, most of what is seen in society today are those who were scattered from the palace and were selected to enter the imperial porcelain.  And a large blue and white cloud and dragon pattern with sunflower edges from the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty obviously cannot be among these porcelains.     actually.  If Chu Chen could spend more time on the appraisal before buying it, Qiao Qingtai wouldn't be worried, but apart from the fact that the appraisal just took only two or three minutes, he was not allowed to use tools such as magnifying glasses.  In this case, Qiao Qingtai couldn't help but worry that Chu Chen might have seen it wrong.  Chu Chen opened the box containing the large plate and said with a smile: "In the early Ming Dynasty, there were indeed few unselected porcelains scattered to the people, but this does not mean that there were none. Take the Ming Dynasty's orthodox period, which had the strictest management of this, as an example.  According to the "History of the Ming Dynasty", the Zhengtong Imperial Ware Factory once stopped operating. In the third year of Zhengtong, it was forbidden to burn official blue and white porcelain for sale everywhere, and to send it to the homes of officials. Violators would be punished by death.  From this, it is not difficult to infer that during the period when official kilns ceased firing three years ago, many people must have made privately produced blue and white pieces from the Xuande kiln for sale, and some of the blue and white patterns from the Xuande kiln kilns must have strayed from the imperial kilns.  At that time, there was no need to impose such a ban without purpose. " "Moreover, since ancient times, there have been many people who risked their lives for money. Therefore, the dispersal of unselected porcelain among the people in the early Ming Dynasty did not exist in the past.  It¡¯s not that I didn¡¯t find it.¡± After hearing what Chu Chen said, Qiao Qingtai nodded in agreement.  But because of the timing of the appraisal, he still felt a little worried.  Chu Chen also understood what Qiao Qingtai was thinking.  While observing the porcelain with a magnifying glass, he smiled and said: "Mr. Qiao, actually I still have some experience with Xuande blue and white porcelain. Although the observation time was short before, I think the possibility of it being genuine is at least 80%. Now, I am completely  "I'm sure this is a genuine item." "Oh!" Qiao Qingtai's interest increased greatly when he heard this. After Chu Chen put the things back, he quickly observed them carefully. After nearly ten minutes, he breathed a sigh of relief and put the things away.  He returned to the box and said with a smile: "Xiao Chu, okay, you picked it up and missed it, so knowledge is money!" Upon hearing this, Chu Chen smiled and waved his hand, modestly expressing his appreciation.  Although this is a defective product, its value is actually not much cheaper than a perfect product, and the value may be higher in the eyes of some people.  This is because except for the wrong dragon claw, this blue and white plate is a perfect reflection of palace art in other aspects.  On the other handThis is due to the fact that very few of Xuande's defective porcelains have been distributed among the people. There is a saying that rare things are valuable. Based on these two points, the value of this large blue and white porcelain cannot be lowered.  " However, for Chu Chen, all he cares about is the cultural relic value and artistic value of this thing. As for the market value, he doesn't care much because he has no intention of transferring it.  Things appeared one by one. During this period, Chu Chen and Qiao Qingtai also bid on several of their favorite items.  When the auction came to an end, I saw the staff carrying out a small bronze vessel. From a distance, the decoration on the surface of this vessel was extremely exquisite. If it were genuine, this alone would be enough.  Consider it a national treasure.  When this object appeared, Qiao Qingtai sat up straight, stared at the object closely, and murmured: "Yes, that's it! It's this bronze ban!" Seeing that Qiao Qingtai was a little embarrassed, Chu  Chen quickly reminded him to avoid any mistakes.  Qiao Qingtai came back to his senses and smiled sheepishly, but his eyes were still fixed on the bronze vessel, as if he was afraid that it would disappear in the blink of an eye.  Chu Chen thought Qiao Qingtai's performance was quite normal. This was because bronze bans were so rare.  The so-called "forbidden" actually refers to several cases, which are used as a base for holding wine during sacrifices or banquets with guests and friends.  It is a unique artifact of the Zhou Dynasty.  According to "", it is called "forbidden", and its meaning is to abstain from drinking.  Both for drinking.  It also reminds people to quit drinking, some of which are like the advertisements on modern cigarette packs that say "Smoking is harmful to health."  It can be seen that the name "forbidden" is related to the requirement to stabilize the society of the Zhou Dynasty.  When bronze was banned until 2002, a total of six pieces were discovered, four of which were from the early Western Zhou Dynasty.  They were all stolen by Dang Yukun, one of the three most powerful treasure thieves in the Republic of China.  One of them is now in the United States, and the other is in a domestic museum. However, due to historical reasons, this bronze was smashed into dozens of pieces and was used for restoration.  Of the other two pieces, one was damaged and discarded during the excavation process by Dang Yukun and has since been missing.  The other one was buried by Dang Yukun together with many other cultural relics, and there is no news yet.  The remaining two bronzes are from the late Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, both of which were obtained through archaeology.  Having said this, everyone should understand why Qiao Qingtai was so out of control.     actually.  Not only Qiao Qingtai, but also many people at the scene had expressions of wonder on their faces when they saw this bronze ban.  When the auctioneer reminded interested guests that they could come forward to observe, everyone rushed over. If there were no staff to maintain order, there would have been chaos.  Because the observation time was limited, it was Chu Chen and Qiao Qingtai¡¯s turn soon.  The two of them took the time to observe the bronze ban, and finally made a basic judgment.  This object should be a bronze made in the Chu State, and it was a work from the Spring and Autumn Period to the Warring States Period, the peak period of the Chu State's bronze culture. This also makes this bronze ban even more precious.  my country¡¯s Bronze Age lasted for more than 1,500 years, during which there were two peaks, one during the Shang Dynasty.  Take the bronze ware left by Fuhao, the wife of Shang King Wuding, as an example.  The technology is mainly Hefan casting.  The other one was represented by Chu bronzes during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.  At this time, a new casting process system emerged, breaking the situation of casting bronzes by a single method.  As a result, my country's bronze culture has reached a more glorious and splendid realm.  Chu bronzes are characterized by their richness and richness. Specifically, they cast three-dimensional animal figures, hollow decorations and fine patterns on bronze vessels.  The Chu bronze craft system not only maintained standard casting, but also developed methods such as lost wax, inlay casting, split casting, inlaying, and welding.  The aesthetic interest with the Chu people is closely to the extreme, and it can show the rich and dense aesthetic style to the extreme, which is mainly the loss of wax casting.  During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, bronzes cast using the lost-wax process have only been unearthed in the Chu region so far. This means that from the 7th century BC to the 5th century BC, the lost-wax casting technology was only spread in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River.  The bronze piece in front of you is an example of lost wax casting technology.  It can be seen that the plane of this bronze forbidden table is like a small table, as high as a small kang table, surrounded by multiple layers of open-carved snake patterns on the four sides. The three layers of the snake patterns are interlocked and overlapped, forming a detailed, complex, interspersed and hidden visual effect.  Effect.  ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????:????? This object is magnificent and solemn, the decoration is exquisite and clear, and the overall situation is orderly. The combination of the grand shape of the device and the confusing visual effects makes the viewer dazzled and feel like a dream.  Reluctantly returning to his seat, Qiao Qingtai said categorically to Chu Chen: "Xiao Chu, we must take pictures of this bronze ban no matter what, otherwise it will fall into the hands of others. If something goes wrong, right?  For our country¡¯s cultural relics community, this is a huge loss!¡±   Chu Chen solemnly said: "Mr. Qiao, don't worry, I will definitely not let this national treasure fall into the hands of others!" Qiao Qingtai nodded happily, and then discussed in a low voice with Chu Chen the price used for the auction.  strategy.  After all, this is a black market auction, a mixed bag of good and bad, and more emphasis on bidding strategies than a regular auction.  ¡°In addition, the space here is relatively spacious, and everyone can basically see each other¡¯s expressions.  This also requires you to pay more attention when bidding, otherwise it is very likely that the other party will notice your bottom line and suffer a big loss if you are not careful emotionally.  (The novel "The Treasure Appraisal Life" will have more fresh content on the official WeChat platform, and there will also be a 100% lucky draw gift for everyone!
