Chapter 44 Ghost City (3)

When Liu Yue heard this, she quickly patted Tang Feng gently. She whispered, "You should just say softly." Then, she hurriedly took the tiger in Tang Feng's hand and returned it to the vendor intact, saying, "The thing is OK, but we want to see what else is going on."

Look, it’s still Liu Yue who understands the rules. The state has national laws and industry rules. The antique market must be especially polite. This is especially true when you are not familiar with other places. When you encounter a "big opening", don’t be happy. If you encounter a problem, you will get over it. If you encounter a few people, you should not show off your feelings and get out of it.

Leaving the street stall, Liu Yue asked Tang Feng: "How did you see it?"

"You talk first." Tang Feng immediately asked her to talk about her judgment first.

"Okay." Liu Yue laughed as soon as she finished speaking. After she finished laughing, she said, "If you say it's Spring and Autumn, do you mean to be angry?"

Tang Feng's profession was not glorious. He didn't hate those who made fakes. Sometimes he just wanted to make fun of them. When Chunqiu said that Qiu Liuyue was established, she laughed like this. She asked her to know that Tang Feng also said the Eastern Zhou Dynasty as next week, and the Ming and Qing Dynasties as Qingming period. Then, Liu Yue expressed her own judgment that in order to make the bronze ware show rusty characteristics, the counterfeiter would first soak the utensils in hydrochloric acid water and then bury it into the ground. This is not the end. Every once in a while, some acid and alkali drugs were poured on the soil. After three or four years, the surface of the utensils produced a simple copper rust. Liu Yue said: "The rust made by this method will be much deeper than the rust produced by ordinary fake methods, which is extremely deceptive. However, after all, it has used chemicals. Although it has been buried for many years, it still has a metallic acid smell. Therefore, even if it is the Beginning of Autumn, it is the Beginning of Autumn a few years ago."

Tang Feng held back his laughter and asked, "You really smelled it?"

Liu Yue was not angry. She said to Tang Feng: "It turns out that Mr. Tang is so bad, but I don't have to smell it carefully. After I pass the hand, I will know it. If you don't believe me, you can smell it?" Liu Yue said, then put her slender little hand to Tang Feng's nose. Tang Feng hurriedly turned his face and said, "It smells so smelly, what's the matter?"

"Hmph, I'll tell you to deal with me again." Liu Yue proudly took out a small bottle with a nozzle and washed her hand with aerosol. She said: "This bottle of water contains medical hydrogen peroxide. Its strong oxidation is very beneficial. If you spray it on your hands in advance, the smell of the copper ware will be left in your hands."

"Yes." Tang Feng nodded. Liu Yue is worthy of being a professional and very professional.

Liu Yue said, "I'm done, it's your turn."

Tang Feng said: "The pseudo-wareware after the Song Dynasty was mostly brass. Because it was not oxidized or oxidized for a short time, the sound after tapping with hands was slender and turbid. However, bronzeware was mostly tin-lead alloy, which was not as strong as brass and made a crisp sound."

"Haha." Liu Yue said: "Although you are very awesome, it is also beneficial to bring me with you. It happens that I can also come up with ideas for you."

Then, the two men bought several stalls, which were basically fakes. Most of the vendors in the ghost market were from one or two surrounding vendors. They specially collected old goods from streets and alleys and then sold them at the ghost market in small and medium-sized cities. Due to the rampant counterfeiting of antiques in recent years, in order to make huge profits, they also began to purchase and wholesale counterfeit goods at designated locations, and then mixed them with the collected old goods for sale. But sometimes, these vendors themselves were not sure whether the old goods they collected were good or bad. At this time, there was a "leak" that the Tang Fengs who visited the ghost market dreamed of. Some vendors were farmers who occasionally got things, and their sources of goods were more.

Most of them are from the fields. When they encounter this type of stall owner, it is a collector's joy. The possibility of picking up big holes may increase sharply. Because Zhejiang Province is an economically developed province, this type of farmers rarely see this type of farmers. In some economically underdeveloped areas, there are many more farmers. In short, the antique ghost market is a replenishment of six points for fake goods and three points for fake goods, and not all of them are genuine products. These vendors are not stupid. They will use good things themselves to identify them, and the possibility of picking up big holes is almost zero. However, things are often unexpected. Tang Feng saw an ancient blue porcelain bowl from a distance. His first feeling was - Longquan Kiln!

It can be said that Longquan Kiln is the most famous folk kiln in Chinese history. It was founded in the Three Kingdoms and Jin Dynasties and ended in the Qing Dynasty. Its history of producing porcelain lasted for more than 1,600 years. It is the longest porcelain kiln system in the history of Chinese porcelain making. Longquan Kiln is also known as Di Kiln, which corresponds to Ge Kiln, one of the five famous kilns in the Song Dynasty. There are ancient historical documents about Ge Kiln and Di Kiln. There are records in ancient historical documents of Zhang Shengyi and Zhang Shengyi. Zhang Shengyi built Liutian Kiln in Chuzhou, Liangzhe Road, which is the modern Lishui, Zhejiang Province. Zhang Shengyi built Zhang Kiln in Longquan County, Zhejiang Province. Because it was built by Brothers, there were Ge Kiln and Ge Kiln. Because Zhang Kiln is located in Longquan, it is called Longquan Kiln.

The Song Dynasty was the beginning of the suffering history of the Han people. It confronted the Liao Kingdom during the Northern Song Dynasty, and confronted the Jin Kingdom across the river during the Southern Song Dynasty, and was later destroyed by Mongolia. Longquan Kiln was in a glorious period of porcelain firing under this special historical background. After the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty, a large number of people in the north migrated south, and the national political, economic and cultural centers moved south. Famous kilns such as Ru Kiln and Ding Kiln were destroyed by war, and their porcelain making technology was introduced to the south. At this time, Longquan Kiln combined with southern techniques and northern art to quickly mature, and formed its own style, thus forming a larger porcelain kiln system.

Since Longquan Kiln was a folk kiln for a long time, its porcelain was widely circulated in southern China. Porcelain from Sichuan to Shanghai has been unearthed. Lin'an is the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty. When Tang Feng met celadon here, he naturally thought of Longquan Kiln.

Tang Feng came to this street stall calmly. When he approached, he realized that this was not a porcelain bowl, but a celadon pen washing. Pen washing is the most common kind of study instrument among the four treasures of the study, except for pens, ink, paper and inkstone. It is a utensil used to hold water and wash pens. It is a well-behaved shape, with a variety of types, elegant and exquisite, and is widely popular. Many of the pen washings that have been passed down from generation to generation are artistic treasures.

The stall sells celadons. The vendor held a celadon and said shamelessly: "Hey, let's take a look, I'm all authentic Longquan kiln celadons here."

Liu Yue frowned when he heard this. She said to Tang Feng softly: "How is that possible?" Celadon was highly respected in ancient China. Its characteristics of green as jade, bright as a mirror, and sound like a chime were hailed as a flower of porcelain. The Tang Dynasty poet Lu Guimeng once praised celadon with the famous line "The wind and dew of Yue Kiln bloomed in the Nine Autumn, and the green color of thousands of peaks came." The Yue Kiln in the poem refers to Longquan Kiln.

During the Southern Song Dynasty, Longquan Kiln pushed the development of celadon to an unprecedented height, but unfortunately it was finally destroyed by the Mongols' iron hooves. Due to the blue and white porcelain that focused on major shapes during the Yuan Dynasty, the development of small shapes of celadon almost stagnated. By the Ming Dynasty, Longquan celadon reached a peak in firing process that later generations could not reach. Unfortunately, it was destroyed by the war between the Tartars of the Qing Dynasty. Since then, Longquan Kiln has never recovered, and the regrettable masterpiece of celadon has come to an abrupt end.

There are many reasons for the declining of Longquan Kiln Celadon, but the main reason is the war. Culture is always under the military. Without military protection, it is destined to be the wandering culture of the Bohemians - no matter how carefree you are, it is just a sad song, and no matter how bold and unruly you are, there is only a rootless bitterness.

The vendor was selling the celadon in his hand, but Tang Feng quietly looked at the celadon brush brush. This blue color is called plum green. From the color point of view, it is definitely the authentic product. This does not mean that the brush brush brush is so radiant. Its color is not as bright as the celadon in the hands of the vendor. Good porcelain has no brightness but only matte light.
