Master descends to earth

Chapter 183 Two-pronged approach
Holding the two Avalokitesvara in front of him, Su Yuan was very satisfied, especially the inscribed seal script, the three characters of He Chaozong, and the gourd-shaped seal, which were seamless.

He stood up, came to the window, and stood with his hands behind his back.There is some hesitation in my heart, the technical difficulties have been overcome, and the hurdles in my heart...

After a long time, his face became more determined, and he finally made up his mind to ask Emi Yagyu to call and contact Rinko Inoue.

The task requires that the fake ones be confused with the real ones, and the imitation products must be recognized by everyone. After much deliberation, it is better to have confidence in the sword technique and have the greatest grasp.

Dehua white porcelain and Longquan celadon are both monochromatic glazes, which have high requirements for porcelain clay and require raw materials that have been aged for many years.Then there is the beauty of shape, conveyed through the superb knife skills of craftsmen, without any grain decoration, directly reaching people's hearts.

Although it has sharp eyes, the formula of color glaze is extensive and profound, and the requirements for painters are extremely high. Finally, there is a change of kiln firing. It is difficult to achieve perfection in high imitation.

Su Yuan couldn't make any mistakes now, so he still used his sword skills to win and used He Chaozong Guanyin as his trump card to complete the task.

The next day Linzi Inoue came to Longquan overnight with two experts. Looking at the two Avalokitesvara in disbelief, she exclaimed, "Porcelain Saint!"

The two experts bowed deeply, not even daring to touch it with their hands, carefully took out the magnifying glass, carefully observed the details, and kept muttering to themselves.

"The excellent tradition of Buddhist statues since the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties has given them an imposing aura that is beyond vulgarity, and can only convey indescribable wisdom and wisdom, which makes ordinary people look up to them..."

"At the same time, according to the different characteristics of various gods, they are refined from real life to make them amiable but not kitsch. It looks like it, even if it is warm..."

"The glass is in good condition, with a fine carcass, good light transmittance, and pure glaze color. It is particularly bright under the light..."

"Treasures... Definitely a once-in-a-hundred-year porcelain treasure!"

Linzi Inoue took a deep breath, and after receiving an affirmative answer, she quickly bowed to Su Yuanshen, and said respectfully: "Master really made an extraordinary move, it's really an honor for the Tokyo Auction."

Su Yuan waved his hand and wrote lightly: "This is a request from a friend. I heard that your auction house has cooperated well with me, so I want to give it a try. If you are satisfied, there will be many opportunities in the future."

Inoue Rinko was elated, and bowed again to express her gratitude. Now Su Yuan is already a popular celadon master in the island country collection circle, whether it is the century-old Yushan Longquantang, the tea ceremony master Chiba, or even the Zen monk Master Quanshan is full of praise.

As the most important partner of Tokyo Auction, the results of the first auction were very happy. As expected, Su Yuan did what he said, and immediately sent two heavy objects, which can be called national treasures.

"Master, rest assured, Tokyo Auction will definitely go all out!"

After quickly leaving with the collection and preparing for the special auction as soon as possible, Su Yuan thought for a while and called Geng Baochang to make an appointment to meet tomorrow.

"This is……"

"He Chaozong's Guanyin!"

Seeing the Avalokitesvara Su Yuan took out, the old man's eyes lit up, his face was full of surprise, he took it and studied it carefully, and said with satisfaction for a long time: "Good thing, there are only two pieces of Avalokitesvara with such perfect appearance, even in the Forbidden City!"

Su Yuan smiled slightly, completely relaxed in his heart, even Geng Baochang drilled his eyes, proving that his saber skills were flawless.

This time I came here for another purpose, to use my fiery eyes to steal my teacher. The Forbidden City is a gathering place for treasures from all over the world. Isn’t it…

So cool!
After listening to Su Yuan's request for a visit, Geng Baochang smiled and said, "Hey, the Forbidden City is actually not as mysterious as the outside world said. Didn't there be a movie circulating a while ago asking me to repair cultural relics in the Forbidden City?"

"If you want, I recommend you to come to work? From now on, there will be treasures at hand!"

"No, you better let me go!"

Su Yuan quickly shook his head and said: "I'm used to being free. If I have nothing to do, I can hang out with you all the time. It's enough to open my eyes and see the baby."

Geng Baochang sighed, it's a pity, there is no way, everyone has their own ambitions, they have reached such a level at a young age, and their future is limitless.There are few rules in society and there is a lot of room for development. If you really want to enter the Forbidden City, there are many rules and regulations, but it will be more troublesome.

"The Forbidden City has the most rules for first-hand viewing. The number of people is strictly limited, and the level is also strictly defined. More than ten years ago, several major collectors from Minqiu Jingshe came to visit. There were Xu Zhantang, Ge Hongming from Tianminlou, and seven or eight people, all of which were very high-level."

"The dean personally accompanied him to look at the items, but after waiting for a long time, he only brought three items: one from Kangxi, one from Yongzheng, and one from Qianlong!"

"At that time, Xu Zhantang became popular, saying who doesn't have such a lot of things? He even traveled thousands of miles to come here to see it? The result was very angry."

"I was sitting by the side at the time, blushing so much, I couldn't save face, but there was nothing I could do. Before I left, I secretly patted Xu Zhantang on the shoulder and told me to wait at Donghua Gate the next day."

"On the second day when we met, I saw a Yongle pressed hand cup, a Hongwu underglaze red plum bottle with a lid, and a Chenghua Doucai. I finally returned with satisfaction."

"The Forbidden City has express regulations that if there are more than a certain number of people, first-class items cannot be taken out. There were too many people yesterday, and the dean couldn't do anything about it."

Su Yuan laughed out loud, fortunately there were several top collectors from Minqiu Jingshe, otherwise he wouldn't even be eligible to see it.There are two top collection groups in the circle, one is Minqiu Jingshe in Hong Kong Island, and the other is Qingwan Collection in Baodao. Each of them is a senior collector with a profound heritage and a great reputation.

The weather was nice, so Geng Baochang personally took Su Yuan to visit. Because of his sharp eyes, he didn't have to do it himself, so he saved a lot of trouble.

Walking into the treasure house, all kinds of rare treasures are dazzling.

"Northern Song Ding Kiln Hualien lotus hat bowl, new official style!"

"Ding Kiln White Porcelain Dish Carved with Double Fish Pattern, Officially Inscribed!"

"Northern Song Dynasty Jun kiln kiln turned into a large flower pot, three characters!"

"Northern Song Dynasty Jun kiln bottle with octagonal string pattern, eight-character style!"

"Southern Song Dynasty official kiln powder green glaze chopsticks vase, Xiu Neisi kiln!"

Seeing Su Yuan's excited expression, Geng Baochang said with a smile: "In the early Southern Song Dynasty, the official kilns had thin bodies and thin glazes, and in the late period, they had thin bodies and thick glazes. Thick glaze wares had as many as several or even dozens of layers of glaze, and the thickness of the glaze even exceeded the fetal bone. "

"The glaze color is mainly pink blue, but also blue gray, blue yellow, gray green, yellow green and fried beige. There are cracks on the glaze surface, mainly crab claw patterns, and there are also ice cracks, etc. Most of them are relatively sparse light yellow Slices. Eel blood patterns are the top grade, black plum blossoms are next, and ink patterns are the second.”

Su Yuan looked at the exquisite Ru Kiln, a national treasure, and thought to himself, "When you can get together a set of the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty, that will be awesome."

"Ding Kiln and Jun Kiln have been handed down more from generation to generation, especially Jun Kiln, which has been designated as an imperial treasure by successive emperors since Huizong of Song Dynasty. It is only allowed to be owned by the royal family, and private collections are not allowed."

The old man pointed to the large flower pot and introduced: "The most beautiful is the kiln change. Jun porcelain belongs to the northern blue kiln. After firing, it will produce results such as sunset and sunset glow, or autumn clouds and spring flowers, etc., even experienced craftsmen do not know the results, which are uncanny and natural."

"The inscriptions of the Jun kiln are the most special. Numbers from one to ten, one is the largest, and ten is the smallest. Back then, Song Huizong mainly used it for flower pots, so there are many pots and vats handed down from generation to generation."

"There is also a saying that the numbers are the distinctions of glaze colors. The odd number of [-] represents the vermilion utensils, and the even number of [-] represents the blue utensils."

Shaking his head regretfully at this point, he said: "Now the Jun kiln inscriptions in the Forbidden City are still five or six seven short. If I can live to see one to ten, I will die in peace!"
