In the second box, in addition to a large number of gold and jade ornaments, Lu Fei also harvested two important treasures.
Parrot-shaped crystal ring accessories, rare and extremely precious in the world.
And the other amber cup is so awesome.
No matter the material, design or craftsmanship, they are all perfect.
If Kong Fanlong saw it, he would definitely classify it as a special first-class national treasure without any hesitation.
Lu Fei, Gaoyuan and others took turns to take action, and they were all amazed.
The two brothers admired this amber cup for more than half an hour before reluctantly putting it away.
The next two boxes contained armor and soft armor. These items were extremely heavy and not very valuable, so Lu Fei simply gave up.
Turning to the other side and opening the first box, Lu Fei and Gao Yuan's eyes widened.
nice one!
A real big baby.
There were only two items in this box, but these two items were enough to make Lu Fei's blood boil with excitement.
Because these two things are amazing Yuan Qinghua.
"Yuan Qinghua!"
"I also have Yuan Qinghua"
Lu Fei was so excited that he shouted out.
The influence of blue and white porcelain on Chinese porcelain is definitely NO.1.
Whether you know about antiques or not, whether you like collecting or not, you must have heard of the fame of blue and white porcelain.
Not only China, the reputation of blue and white porcelain has already been world-renowned.
Jay Chou even composed a song specifically for this, called "Blue and White Porcelain".
Nowadays, the scope of blue and white is no longer as simple as porcelain.
There are blue and white tattoos, blue and white decorations, blue and white fabrics, blue and white toys, etc.
The most typical example is that when Lu Fei first met Chen Xiang, Chen Xiang was wearing a blue and white lotus silk cheongsam.
That cheongsam looked noble and decent when worn on Chen Xiang Elegant and charming.
The largest quantity of antique blue and white porcelain remains in the world during the Kangxi, Yongzong and Qian dynasties of the Manchu and Qing dynasties.
The blue and white flowers of Yongle and Xuande are the most precious.
But the real masterpiece, one of which is considered a national treasure, is Yuan blue and white.
The so-called Yuan blue and white refers to the blue and white porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty.
That's right, it's the blue and white porcelain from the Yuan Dynasty in China.
But there is a key point here. Our Yuanqinghua from China has been lost overseas in large quantities.
So far, the total amount of Yuanqinghua in China only accounts for 3% of the total amount of Yuanqinghua in the world.
Listen to this number, isn’t it embarrassing?
Yuan Qinghua's situation in China is not much better than Yaobian Tianmu.
There are two reasons for this.
The first is that during the Yuan Dynasty, the Yuan and Mongols fought on the Eurasian continent, and a lot of blue and white porcelain was lost in East and Southeast Asia.
Among them, the largest number was lost in Persia, some were abandoned, and some were used for trade.
In any case, that was the strategic policy of the Yuan Dynasty, and there is nothing wrong with that.
There is another most important reason, and it is also the reason why Lu Fei is so angry when he thinks about it, that is, the people of China do not believe that there was blue and white porcelain in the Yuan Dynasty.
The Chinese archaeological community unanimously believes that the porcelain kilns of the Yuan Dynasty inherited the old factories of the Southern Song Dynasty, including Longquan porcelain, enamel porcelain, white porcelain, Jian kiln, and the Privy Porcelain independently developed by the Yuan Dynasty, etc.
As for blue and white porcelain, although it was created in the Tang Dynasty, it was popular in the Ming and Qing Dynasties and did not exist in the Yuan Dynasty at all.
No matter how good the object you get is, as long as you say it is Yuan blue and white, then I'm sorry, it's a fake.
Due to lack of understanding, a large amount of Yuan blue and white flowers were lost overseas.
In the early years of the Republic of China, there was a
A British man named David went to China to search for antiques and bought these Yuan blue and white flowers that no one recognized at low prices.
Later, these Chinese treasures of David, especially the massive Yuan blue and white flowers, were collected by the British Museum, and the David Foundation was established.
In 1927, the British scholar Hobson compiled the porcelain collection of the David Wade Foundation into a 32-karat book "Chinese Ceramics Spectrum", which was first printed in thirty volumes. It contained analysis and detailed descriptions of Yuan blue and white.
In 1935, the collection of the Palace Museum went to London for exhibition. Mr. Fu Zhenlun, one of the members of the delegation, saw this book in a London bookstore. After studying it, Fu Zhenlun was extremely shocked.
I returned to China and wrote an article of more than 9,000 words, explaining my point of view that there might really be blue and white porcelain in the Yuan Dynasty.
Unfortunately, Mr. Fu Zhenlun's views still failed to gain recognition from people in the industry, so the tragedy continued to unfold. .??.
In 1948, Pope, an American doctor of archeology, and his new wife went to West Asia for their honeymoon, taking with them Hobson's book published thirty years ago.
Amazing discoveries have been made at the Topkapi Museum in Istanbul, Turkey, and the Aldive Temple in Tehran, Iran.
There, after comparison, it was found that the craftsmanship characteristics and style were the same as those of the blue and white vases of the 11th year of Zhizheng collected by the Dawei De Foundation. Based on this, it can be determined that the blue and white porcelain discovered were also products of the Yuan Dynasty and were named Zhizheng.
True blue and white porcelain.
By this time, except for the Chinese archaeological community, the whole world recognized the existence of Yuan blue and white flowers and regarded them as a treasure.
So for more than a year, blue and white enthusiasts from all over the world came to China to hunt for treasures. This directly caused the biggest disaster in the history of Yuan blue and white in China.
It wasn't until two years later that Mu Ying's tomb in Jinling Stone City was robbed, and among the cultural relics recovered, a blue and white plum vase of Yuan Dynasty figure Xiao He chased Han Xin under the moon was found.
In the same year, a large number of Yuan blue and white flowers were discovered in Jingdezhen. Fragments, the Chinese archaeological community finally admitted that there was blue and white in the Yuan Dynasty, and it was the most awesome existence.
When I suddenly realized it, it was already too late. After searching the entire China, there were only a handful of Yuan Qinghua.
The Yuan blue and white porcelain in major museums in China are all objects unearthed in recent years. Old stocks from the past are almost invisible.
Therefore, regarding the matter of Yuan Qinghua, including Kong Fanlong, they are all sinners of history.
The first person Lu Fei invited to get started was a super big guy.
Yuan blue and white octagonal plum vase with sea water and white dragon pattern.
This plum vase is 48 centimeters high, 6 centimeters in diameter, and 14 centimeters in foot diameter.
The plum vase has a thick fetal bone, eight edges, a small mouth with a flat rim, a folded rim, a thin and short neck, a sloping neck, plump shoulders, tapering below the shoulders, and rounded feet.
The shoulder is decorated with diagonal brocade pattern, the lower part is decorated with Ruyi cloud head pattern, the interior of the pattern is decorated with phoenix and unicorn with peony pattern, the belly is decorated with white dragon wave pattern, and the near foot is decorated with Ruyi cloud head peony pattern.
This device is in the shape of an eight-square shape. The Mahavaima Sutra says that the mandala starts in the east and ends in the northwest, forming eight directions, which means that the Buddha's teachings spread throughout the surrounding areas and save all living beings.
During the Yuan Dynasty, Tibetan Buddhism was the state religion, and the imperial court respected Taoism and Buddhism, which had a great influence. This vessel is decorated with dragon patterns, which symbolizes the emperor's power over the world.
The decoration of Yuan blue and white vessels draws on the silk fabrics of the Yuan Dynasty. The widely used hanging cloud patterns and Ruyi head patterns evolved from shawls. The Ruyi cloud pattern on this vase is a typical example.
This vessel is a large wine vessel among the porcelains of the Yuan Dynasty. It has fine and white fetal bones, moist and translucent enamel, and rich blue and white colors.
The blue and white porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty has large and plump shapes, dense decoration, rich layers, and rigorous composition. It changes the tradition of sparse and simple pattern layout of porcelain since the Tang and Song Dynasties. The meticulous depiction and complex layers form a flowery artistic style.
The significant increase in the appearance of dragon patterns is also a characteristic of porcelain decorative art during this period.
