Chapter 340 Chapter 340 Porcelain, Porcelain

"Yes!" Jia Sidao nodded excitedly. If we say that when Jia Sidao first started to learn about porcelain, perhaps Jia Sidao didn't pay much attention to such an ancient book.After all, judging from the richness of modern information, no matter what kind of book it is, there are very few truly unique copies. As long as you have some money on hand, you can buy published ones.No matter how bad it is, you can rely on connections to get some manuscripts and the like.Unless it is your own personal collection experience, or some information passed down from generation to generation by the elders, it may become a real orphan.

In Jia Sidao's home, Ah San once listed a lot of books on porcelain in order to let Jia Sidao learn porcelain and get started as soon as possible.In other words, whether there is this "Shuo Ci" given by Uncle Zhou is really insignificant. However, Jia Sidao didn't think so in his heart. It was a coincidence that he was able to come to "Zhou Ji" at this moment.If he hadn't accidentally called Ah San at this time, Jia Sidao would never have thought that Uncle Zhou Fugui would start explaining some things about porcelain collection to some young people. Don't look at Zhou Fugui's usual appearance, he is not very kind and doesn't talk or laugh.Especially the way he sat on the wicker chair and read the newspaper, there was a faint sense of majesty.However, when talking to Jia Sidao in the past, there was still a kind feeling.Such a well-rounded person, if you don't have a deep acquaintance with you, don't expect him to be able to tell you something true and impartial to increase your knowledge!

It can be seen from this that it is not easy for Uncle Zhou Fugui to take out his collection of broken porcelain pieces and "Shuo Porcelain" at the moment. Moreover, what is the purpose of collecting a row? Isn't it just improving your eyesight in the field of antiques in the process of collecting and storing, and constantly searching for them?If you want to accumulate wealth, you need luck.After all, the number of good things is really limited, but the knowledge of collecting a line is infinite, just like this "Shuo Porcelain" in front of you. After Jia Sidao took it from Uncle Zhou Fugui, he began to read it.

As the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement, while experts watch the way.Porcelain is a unique art category and aesthetic object in the treasure house of Chinese art.Porcelain has always played an important role in China's thousands of years of civilization.It is one of the most dazzling achievements of the extensive and profound Chinese civilization. Even for a short period of time, in the eyes of Westerners, porcelain was synonymous with "China". From this we can know whether the porcelain made of clay can carry all the ideals of human material and spiritual life. It stands high above, yet keeps the closest distance to us.Porcelain originated in the Shang Dynasty, and developed to a very mature stage in the Song Dynasty. Five major porcelain families, including Ding Kiln, Jun Kiln, Ru Kiln, Ge Kiln, and Official Kiln, were formed in the north and south of the river. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, colored porcelain appeared again. Turning to the colorful side, resulting in a fine and gaudy perfect character.

In ancient China, the rarest and most exquisite things were often monopolized by the royal family, and folk use was prohibited, and some even only the emperors had the right to enjoy them exclusively.Because of this, porcelain no longer only stays on the practical level, but strengthens its artistic connotation as an ornamental handicraft through the speculation of figures, landscapes and scenes.Putting painting, poetry and calligraphy on porcelain, porcelain has gradually developed into a special art that combines calligraphy, painting and craftsmanship. Any piece of porcelain, even though it seems simple, contains such a huge message, which really makes Jia Sidao, a beginner, mesmerized and addicted to seeing it.It seems that every book about porcelain can give Jia Sidao a lot of insight.

Even if he had already read it, when Jia Sidao read it again, he was full of reverence for the description in the book.What's more, the "Shuo Porcelain" in his hand is an ancient book in itself.In the process of reading, not only can you see the above knowledge, but you can also feel that some experts in the past are just like Jia Sidao now, carefully flipping through the book in their hands. This kind of personal feeling is enough for Jia Sidao to further imprint the knowledge he saw in his mind. I'm afraid, to experience some of the details that you have left in the books, share their reading experience, or even read an ancient book with those collectors to increase Jia Sidao's confidence in porcelain collection. Uncle Zhou Fugui handed this "Shuo Porcelain" to Jia Sidao for reading.

In this way, how could Jia Sidao's heart not be flooded with joy? Here, Jia Sidao is slowly absorbing the knowledge in "Shuo Porcelain", wantonly guessing in his heart what kind of feelings some experts have when they see such an ancient book, and Uncle Zhou Fugui, It is still the same, looking at many young people, looking for their favorite porcelain pieces one by one on the counter! "I said Uncle Zhou, you are not, you are going to take these broken porcelain pieces and talk to us?" Ah San glanced at Jia Sidao, and found that Jia Sidao was in a trance, and did not go up to disturb him .Instead, in front of the counter, he made jokes with Uncle Zhou Fugui.

"Why, can't it work?" Uncle Zhou Fugui naturally knew that the broken pieces of porcelain in front of him would not be of much help to people like Ah San.However, for beginners like Xiaoqian, or even lovers who don't understand porcelain collection at all, the effect is obvious. "These fragments of porcelain, even if they are taken out individually, are indeed inconspicuous. However, when they are combined together, after a long period of viewing, they can be well evaluated. For example, from the Start with the local characteristics, and then combine the theoretical knowledge gained from reading books to carefully figure out and grasp the characteristics of porcelain in terms of shape, decoration, style, tire quality, enamel and glaze color." Zhou Fugui said, "After a period of time, , I personally think that for the porcelain industry, it can be regarded as a relatively preliminary introduction."

"Uncle Zhou, are you talking about all these broken pieces of porcelain?" A young man asked after hearing the words. "Yes." Zhou Fugui nodded, "If you only look at one or two pieces of porcelain alone, you can learn only one type and one era of porcelain. For the porcelain industry, even if Nothing more." "That is to say, the more you study the broken porcelain pieces, the more knowledge you know and master?" Xiaoqian said from the side. "Theoretically, that's the case." Uncle Zhou Fugui replied, "However, these days, even broken porcelain pieces are not so easy to find. The few pieces of broken porcelain that Xiao Jia received last time are in the The quality is relatively good. As for other people, if they want to learn porcelain from broken pieces of porcelain, it’s hard to say whether they have such luck.”

"Can broken porcelain be classified as good or bad?" Xiaoqian asked curiously. "Hehe, Xiaoqian, you don't know about this." Uncle Zhou Fugui didn't answer, but Ah San hurriedly said, "Let's talk about the jadeite you want to learn. From the perspective of color, there are red jadeite, jadeite, jadeite, etc. Green jadeite, purple jadeite, etc., but each color has a different texture, and a different shape, water head and the like. If you have experienced more jade ornaments, you will know more about their respective characteristics. Naturally, you will understand it more and more. However, when you first start learning, even any kind of jade jewelry is considered new to you, and you can learn a lot from it. But , as you gradually enter the state and enter the jadeite industry, you will inevitably encounter many jadeite ornaments with the same texture and similar water head. At this time, if you plan to learn more about jadeite, you must have a certain understanding of the quality of jadeite. Definitely required."

"So, the porcelain industry is similar to the jadeite industry, right?" After hearing Ah San's words, Xiaoqian came to her senses. Learning about jadeite in recent days has made the little girl like jadeite more and more. This kind of jadeite.Not to mention the ingenious workmanship of the craftsmen, it’s just the glamor of jadeite itself. When you don’t know it, you may just look at it in surprise, but after getting in touch with and understanding it, Xiaoqian feels that jadeite , has many interesting things.For example, the shape of jade, for example, the value of jade, and even after seeing some jade ornaments, one can guess what kind of thrills and excitements there were in the process of producing this ornament. Such as the excavation of rough emerald stones, and subsequent stone betting and stone cutting. In any industry, as long as you have a real in-depth understanding, you will always find many bright spots in it. Of course, Xiaoqian is just a salesperson of a jadeite store, and this jadeite store has not opened yet, so she learned more about it from Ah San and some information.The real contact is nothing more than "Zhou Ji", relying on the relationship between Jia Sidao and Ah San, asking Uncle Zhou Fugui to get some jade ornaments for her to start with. No wonder, after not seeing each other for a while, what Jia Sidao saw was that the relationship between Xiaoqian, Uncle Zhou, Ali and others had become much more harmonious. "Porcelain line, the classification here is more complicated than jadeite line." Ah San nodded and said, "Like different dynasties, different types of porcelain, blue and white, pastel, etc. Yes, it’s like the famous Yuan blue and white porcelain. Real Yuan blue and white porcelain fragments are relatively rare in the antique market at the moment. No doubt, just a piece of porcelain fragment can cost tens of thousands of dollars. Therefore, the way of learning from broken porcelain pieces also needs to be done within one’s ability. Start with simple and ordinary broken porcelain pieces, and then gradually seek some rare pieces of porcelain pieces. Of course, you can receive some complete It’s even more wonderful if it’s in the shape of a device.” Immediately, Ah San looked at Uncle Zhou Fugui.At this moment, the young people present all looked at Uncle Zhou Fugui eagerly, wanting to listen to him and say something constructive. "Hehe, what are you doing looking at me like that?" Uncle Zhou Fugui said with a smile, "Ah San has already said what should be said. Besides, Ah San has quite the true biography of Mr. Wei. Compared with me, who became a monk halfway through For nephrite players, Ah San's vision for porcelain is much more sophisticated than mine." "Uncle Zhou, don't you mean me by what you said." Ah San's face was somewhat unnatural. "There's nothing to be ashamed about." Uncle Zhou Fugui didn't intend to spare him.Said, "It is said that there is a priority in hearing the truth, and those who have mastered it first. I am not as good as your eyesight in the porcelain industry, but I am not as good as your eyesight. Could it be that I am better than you kid if I say I am better than you kid? ?” "Uh, this..." Ah San hesitated, not knowing what to say. "However, although it is said that there is a sequence of hearing, for the porcelain industry, the sooner you start contacting, the greater the achievements you will get. Back then, when I entered Mr. Wei's door, I was already old. It's a bit long. In addition, my aptitude and endowment are only average, and my talent for understanding is not outstanding. In the words of Mr. Wei, I am a relatively mediocre person in porcelain collection. So, in the end, I just I changed to collecting my favorite jasper-like antiques." When he said this, Uncle Zhou Fugui was still sighing. "Well, Uncle Zhou, does the collection of porcelain also depend on a person's aptitude and understanding?" Xiaoqian asked doubtfully. "Who says it's not." Uncle Zhou Fugui nodded and said, "It's just that, how to look at the specifics, a collector like me may not be able to see it. Unless it's an expert like Master Wei , who have been immersed in the porcelain collection industry for most of their lives, their vision of people is undoubtedly much more accurate. Moreover, if you meet a rare good seedling, you still need to look at the age of the other person. If you miss the opportunity to enter this industry The best time for me, and my future achievements, there must be many unsatisfactory things." "However, don't put too much emphasis on your age." Ah San said from the side, "Let's just talk about me, I entered the industry at the age of twelve, ha ha..." At this point, Ah San smiled slightly, who told him Is my second grandfather a big collector of porcelain? "As for my second grandfather, he entered the industry when he was ten years old. At that time, it can be said that he was still an apprentice in Panjiayuan in Beijing, oh, it should be at Liulichang Antique Shop in Beijing. It took nearly twenty years to do this, and now he has achieved his current achievements... I, like Uncle Zhou, do not have the understanding of the old man, so don't look at my early entry into the industry, but, In terms of porcelain collection, it’s just average.” "In this way, if we are like this, can't we learn how to collect porcelain at all?" A young man next to him said, "I don't think my understanding is comparable to that of Uncle Zhou and Ah San. two." "Hehe..." Some other people also laughed out loud when they heard the words. "That's not what they said." Uncle Zhou Fugui saw that the atmosphere at the scene was not very good, so he explained, "In the antique industry, one's eyesight, based on one's own experience, judges things. It is very difficult to verify the authenticity of porcelain, and among them, the appraisal of porcelain is the most important. However, any master of porcelain appraisal cannot be cultivated overnight. The comprehension of a person is of course important, but the hard work of the day after tomorrow is equally indispensable..." Speaking of this, Uncle Zhou Fugui glanced at Jia Sidao, who was still watching "Shuo Porcelain", pointed, and said, "Let's just talk about Xiao Jia. Don't look at others, but only a few people who have come into contact with antiques. It’s only a month. Not to mention that he is already an expert in the collection of porcelain, at least he has collected a few good collections. It’s just his accomplishments in the jade industry. People like me who have lived half their lives People, occasionally involved in the jade industry, not to mention, even other experts who specialize in playing jade are beyond the reach. His luck and understanding are naturally nothing to say. However, his hard work, others do not know Ah San, as Xiao Jia's more compatible friend, must have a deep understanding of it, right?" "That's right." Ah San nodded seriously, "Little Jia spends most of his time dealing with jadeite, whether it's rough jadeite or jadeite jewelry. Ordinary entertainment time, Not much. The big deal is to go out with a few friends like me and have a meal or something. The living habits are very good... By the way, Xiaoqian, it’s a pity that you already have a boyfriend, otherwise If you don't, I'm wondering if I want to introduce you to your boss." "You're going to die, smelly Ah San..." Xiaoqian couldn't help but give Ah San an annoyed look, her face was a little flushed, looking at it at this moment, she was naturally extraordinarily delicate and cute! When everyone heard this, they couldn't help laughing happily. After all, everyone is still young and used to being noisy.For the collection of porcelain, although I like it very much, when it comes to the real collection, it is limited by my own financial and material resources and other reasons, and it is impossible to get too deeply involved. Even the young man who had just come to look at it, now he heard the laughter of the crowd, showed a slightly moved expression!
