Chapter 130: The Fun of Antiques

Even though they were mentally prepared, even with the scheming of Chang and Liu, when they saw the blue and white jar that was completely unique and unparalleled in the world, the feeling was so sour!

Liu Cunzhi was sad. His brother was mentally prepared and was very prepared. However, this preparation was contrary to the actual situation. It was completely opposite! You... you kid is simply a prank!

After all, Chang Huai's level was extraordinary. After a brief shock, he soon discovered something was wrong.

"This jar is a bit weird..."

Hum? When he heard Mr. Chang say this, Li Yi and Liu Cunzhi both came over. Li Yi felt a little surprised. Liu Cunzhi trusted Mr. Chang. Since he said it was a bit strange, there must be something strange! You have to learn it well!

"Identifying the blue and white instruments from the Ming and Qing dynasties mainly focuses on nine places, including shape, body, halo, inner body, exposed body, glaze, pattern, foot, and pattern recognition! Now let's analyze them one by one and take a closer look at what the hell it is!"

Liu Cunzhi is half of Chang Huaizhi's disciple. Li Yi has a good impression of him. He happened to encounter such a strange thing again. Chang Huaizhi suddenly felt like he was facing a chess opponent. He was ready to show his skills!

"First look at the shape, full, thick, simple, and soft and rounded lines of the instrument. It's no problem, and it's in line with the characteristics of the Ming Dynasty! The carcass is thick and the three-dimensional feeling is very strong, and it's no problem! Let's look at the inner world after the dizziness is scattered."

Chang Huaizhi signaled that the two of them could put their hands into the jar and touch them.

"The inner part of Yongle and Xuande porcelain is very regular, commonly known as Jingli. The inner walls of plates and bowls in other periods are not flat, and there is a feeling of unevenness. The belly of the abdomen of the carved utensils such as jars, bottles, and Zun even have traces of connection to two layers. This one does not exist, and this one is also in line with it."

"The glaze and patterns are fine in the exposed parts such as the mouth of the bottom foot, such as the exposed body. The large foot of Yongle and Xuande is all white sand bottom. The soles of round foot of the early and late Ming dynasties often have collapsed, sand, and radially scraped blade marks. Therefore, there is no problem with the foot of the equipment!"

Chang Huaizhi smiled bitterly,

"But it just happened that the two most important features, namely, namely, the blue and white halo. There was something wrong with these two features! But if these two are fine, they probably won't be in your hands. Xiao Li. This thing didn't cost much, right?"

Awesome! A master is a master! He can even guess the price is not high! Chang Huai's words made Li Yi instantly feel that a peerless master stood proudly on the top of the Forbidden City. When he waved his hand, the wind and clouds changed color, and the strong enemy was destroyed. He suddenly understood why the collection was so attractive. There were so many people who jumped in without hesitation even though they knew the depth of the water!

Getting rich is just one aspect, especially in front of everyone like Mr. Chang, and it is even just a little fun to adjust life!

What he needs is the pleasure of peeling off the fog of history layer by layer by layer! What he needs is the sense of accomplishment of uncovering the thick veil of porcelain with his own hands! What he needs is the ultimate pursuit of being refreshed, sad, or bright, sighing, screaming, or singing and singing!

This is the joy of antiques!

"Actually, I don't think the problem of the signature is very big. Because there are currently few Yongle porcelains with signatures unearthed at present, it does not mean that there are definitely no six-character models. However, the dispersion of the blue and white porcelain is really a bit inexplicable."

"Well, Xiao Li is right. The main problem with this big shot is the dizziness."

Chang Huaizhi lowered his head and pondered for a moment, shook his head,

"The blue and white porcelains in the early Ming Dynasty inherited the Yuan blue and white, and most of them used imported Sumaliqing. This material has a strong and green color. The color is stable, and Sumaliqing has high iron content and low manganese content. It has a bright sapphire-like color under appropriate heat. Silver-black crystal spots will also appear, namely "rust spots", commonly known as "tin light".

He pointed to the black rust spots on the top of the big jar and continued:

"But except for this, other characteristics do not match. The key is that it is halo! Although Su Maliqing was used in the late Yuan Dynasty and the early Ming Dynasty, in order to solve the problem of halo, a large number of domestic blue materials have been added. Although blue and white porcelain in this period still has halo, the condensed halo effect has been greatly weakened. These are not consistent with..."

Li Yi's heart moved and he tentatively said:

"Then...will this piece be used all Su Maliqing? This way..."

Chang Huaizhi shook his head, got up, took out a box from the cabinet under the ancient shelf, opened it, pointed to the porcelain piece inside and said:

"These are all Yuan, Ming blue and white porcelain pieces I collected. Look, these two pieces should be made of Quansu materials, but they are still different from yours, not as serious as yours."

Li and Liu picked up the porcelain pieces and checked them one by one. Chang Huaizhi took out a shabby notebook, searched for a while, and a gratified smile appeared on his face.

He handed the notebook to Li Yi, and Li Yi stretched out his head and saw that the clippings on the top recorded the situation of the blue and white porcelain of all Su materials.

"Types with real all-Suzhou materials are very rare. Iranian and Turkey's collection of artifacts are more diffuse and are of high standards. The obvious diffuse objects in China are difficult to find. A little better ones can be appreciated include the large pot of Yuan blue and white peony pattern in the Shanghai City Museum, the Yuan blue and white phoenix head flat pot of Xinjiang Xinli Ikazakh Autonomous Prefecture Museum, the Yuan blue and white phoenix head lid pot of Hui'an Museum (it is a bead-shaped and scattered obviously), the Yuan blue and white sea water dragon pattern eight-sided plum vase with lid, and the Yuan blue and white phoenix pendant peony pattern holding pot of the Palace Museum, etc., which can be referenced."

It’s it! As long as the problem of blue and white dispersion is solved, and combined with the aspects recognized by Mr. Chang just now, this pattern recognition is not a problem at all!

"Xiao Li, are you interested in going out for a trip?"

Of course there is! Li Yi, who had just learned about the music of antiques, suddenly felt excited when he thought of traveling so many places and appreciating the treasures among them, but... he still had to go to work!

Chang Huaizhi took the notebook, looked at it, and said:

"You don't need to see these items in Hui'an, Beihe, and Forbidden City. I've seen them, and they have no reference value. And I think it's very likely that Liyi and Shanghai City are not good either. If you want to see something similar to yours, you probably have to go to Iran and Türkiye!"

Iran, Türkiye... Damn, can you go to those two places now? Forget it, I still have to go to work anyway, so let's talk about it later if you have the chance.

At this point, the blue and white jar has basically been finished reading it. Chang Huaizhi’s opinion is that Jiu Chengzhen!

"Xiao Li, the old man wants to discuss something with you, but I don't know if it's OK. However, if you make things difficult, just pretend I didn't say it."

Judging from Chang Huaizhi's appearance, Li Yi probably wanted to buy this blue and white utensil, which made him a little embarrassed. Not to mention how much money it costs, this thing is different from other treasures. It is very likely that this one is in the world!

"I'll give you 30 million as a deposit. You lend me this blue and white jar for half a year. I'll prepare to study and write a paper. At that time, you and Huaizhi can add it. The paper can be signed by the second and third authors..."

Li Yi breathed quietly when he heard this. It was not enough to just want it. As for what money, papers and other things really didn't matter. He dared to put the jade watermelon to Hu Zhiyuan and leave "Tianfeng Waterfall" in Zhou's hometown. At that time, his relationship with them was not as good as that of Mr. Chang!

"Okay! Old brother, I really did not see the wrong person! I can see people, see things, appreciate all kinds of treasures, and know how to make friends all over the world. This is the joy of antiques!"

Farewell to Chang Huaizhi, Li Yi saw that there was still some time before lunch. He was hesitating whether to turn around for a while or go back to Bai Qianye first. Suddenly, his eyes flashed. He saw that a new gallery was opened not far away. Moreover, the two friends had just hung a red banner on the lintel, an exhibition of works by famous modern painters!

I just finished the modern painter class and saw the exhibition of works. Could it be that he had the will of God to let him connect theory with practice? Well, the gift of apprenticeship will come to your house!

As he stepped into the store, Li Yi looked around and found that there were not many works here, and there were not many walls full of them. There were even only two works hanging on a small wall. However, the store was very popular. There were more than twenty customers in the store with a total of seventy or eighty square meters, which could barely be considered a full house.

Looking at the complete layout, Li Yi turned his attention to the first painting on his left hand.

This is a realistic ink painting. On the horizontal axis of about one meter two, there are several yaks of different shapes on the left, and on the right are three young women wearing green, blue and red Tibetan robes. The whole work has thick brushwork, bright coloring, reasonable layout, and strong contrast, which is very eye-catching.

After watching the picture, Li Yi took a look at the seal and thought to himself that this painting was actually a work by Shi Guoliang, which the students in class had in the first day.

Li Yi carefully recalled Liu Ming's evaluation of the characteristics of Shi Guoliang's works, and compared the paintings in turn. He felt that it was a bit plausible. He looked at it carefully for a long time, sighed, touched it gently with his left hand, and the spiritual card immediately gave a conclusion.

"He Guangjiong, spring scenery, 2013."

He Guangjiong? Li Yi thought for a while and was sure that there was no such person on the list of 420 people. He couldn't help but shake his head. The owner was really brave. He put a imitation in such a conspicuous position so blatantly. Aren't he afraid of people coming to the door to cause trouble?

Let’s look at the second one. This is a realistic oil painting. The main picture is a green arch bridge. Under the bridge is a black-sailed boat. The entire picture layout is different from Chen Yifei’s famous work "Spring Breeze Greens the South of the River". Needless to say, this is another imitation.

Li Yi remembers it very clearly that Chen Yifei's paintings usually cost at least about 600,000 yuan per square foot, especially the painting "Spring Breeze Greens the South of the River", which was sold at a high price of more than 2.3 million yuan in 1997. Now I don't know how many times it has increased, so how could it appear here?

However, if you observe this oil painting carefully, you will find that although you can feel an extraordinary tranquility from the picture, the painting technique is obviously a bit awkward and unfluent. He judged that this should be an exercise by a student in the art academy.

He gently pointed his left hand on the screen, and then Li Yi was stunned. You would actually imitate Chen Yifei's oil paintings. What does this mean? (To be continued.)
