Chapter 1181 The Wisdom of Flattering

It is not easy to imitate a cultural relic with unique characteristics, but you have to understand its past and present life, and it is not as difficult as imagined secret door.

For example, Kangxi's blue and white longevity statue, if you really know its production process, you can figure out the way to imitate it.

Chen Wenzhe knew that Ma Dudu once evaluated a Kangxi blue and white longevity statue, and Chen Wenzhe agreed with his evaluation.

Although there must be more than one such blue-and-white Longevity Lord in existence, the one in the Palace Museum must be said to be the only one in the world.

Because of their different identities, the one in the Forbidden City must be the authentic Longevity Zun accepted by Kangxi.

If this one is the main house, then the other surviving Longevity Venerables can only be regarded as concubines.

It's just such a difference in identity. Its valuation is 12 billion, which is not high at all.

In the antique circle of Shendu, there is a saying: "When talking about antiques and cultural relics, you have to listen to Master Ma."

This Ma Ye is Mr. Ma, a famous collector, writer, cultural scholar, and founder of Guanfu Museum in my country.

As early as the 80s, he started his own collection. He can be regarded as the first group of young people with awareness of cultural relics after the founding of New China.

As he grows older, his level of understanding and appreciation of cultural relics and antiques will naturally continue to improve.

Famous, everyone who collects it naturally knows the famous "Qing Kangxi Blue and White Longevity Master".

After seeing it back then, he nodded repeatedly and gave an estimate of 12 billion.

Don't think that 12 billion is expensive, as if it is a child's play, but it is not a child's play at all.

It is not difficult for anyone to understand this point as long as they understand the production background and production process of this porcelain.

In terms of the craftsmanship of the porcelain itself, this great statue is not among the pinnacle of ancient Chinese porcelain.

After all, before that, after the wars in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, Jingzhen's porcelain industry was hit hard, and the entire Chinese porcelain industry was once stagnant.

"Jingzhen Pottery Records" wrote: Jingzhen started to re-establish a factory to make pottery in the 11th year of Shunzhi, and tried to make "dragon vats" and "railing boards" successively, but failed.

At the same time, Jingzhen was in the tug-of-war zone of the Nanming anti-Qing struggle. Affected by the war, the kiln owners in Jingzhen naturally could not feel at ease to operate their kilns.

This situation lasted until around the tenth year of Kangxi (1671), when Jingzhen's porcelain industry gradually recovered.

In the 19th year of Kangxi, Emperor Kangxi sent Zang Yingxuan, the doctor of Yuheng Division of the Ministry of Industry, to JDZ to "supervise the construction of the factory".

This opened a precedent for calling the kiln by the surname of the kiln governor, among which the most representative ones are "Zang Kiln" and "Lang Kiln".

As we all know, Kangxi created a prosperous age with political stability and economic prosperity.

Coupled with Kangxi's own emphasis on the field of porcelain, the porcelain production technology of the Qing Dynasty was finally able to improve rapidly and achieved a breakthrough.

Especially at this time, the westerly wind is gradually advancing, and many Western materials and technologies have been introduced into China, which has made new breakthroughs in my country's traditional ceramics industry, and has repeatedly produced amazing works.

Among them, "enamel color and pastel color" are the major inventions of this period.

It is written in "Tao Ye Tu Shuo": Jingzhen is only more than ten miles long, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and in a secluded corner, traders come from all directions with pottery. There are many eaters.

It can be seen that the rapid development of Huaxia porcelain at this time.

Because Emperor Kangxi personally liked thick and vigorous porcelain, the carcass of porcelain in the Kangxi period was relatively thick, and the shape was generally simple and clumsy.

Even utensils of the same size are heavier than utensils from other periods of the Qing Dynasty, which is why the Qing Kangxi blue and white longevity statue is so huge.

After figuring out the background of the Qing Emperor Kangxi's blue-and-white Wanshou character, the next step is the highlight.

Are there really so many different "shou" characters in our country?The answer is: no.

But don't worry, as long as you have the heart, you will have a clever plan.

It is written in "Wanshou Zunfu": Collect hundreds of schools to search for grave codes, and seal scripts with ten thousand words.

It means that the 10000 characters of "longevity" on the blue and white longevity statue are derived from various historical books and inscriptions on ancient utensils.

But even so, it is still not enough to make up so many different "shou" characters.

At this time, calligraphers and craftsmen are required to use their creativity to create a brand new "shou" character.

For example, they combined auspicious characters such as "Qianqiu, Wandai, Sanhuang" and "Shou" into a new "Shou" character;

For example, based on the word "shou", they deformed it;

Another example is to imitate the ancient people's knowing how to create characters, and turn the bird and insect seal script, tadpole script, Jinwen seal seal script and other fonts into the word "shou";

Later, they even integrated the elements of the heavenly stems and earthly branches, Qimen Dunjia, wind, rain, thunder and lightning, insects, fish, birds and animals into the character "Shou".

So there appeared "husband tadpoles are colorful, insects and fish converge, and Suishu is written in style. The traces of husband Nongxuan and birds are written in Jiejiao. Or express Yunwen with understanding, or pictographically and map Chensu. Fengmao arrays horses, and the pen recognizes them. Zhou Xuan of the Stone Drum; Crouching Tiger Startling the Dragon, Ink and Splendor, the Empress of Summer. Heluo reopens, and the heroic posture is restored." The spectacular scene is breathtaking.

By the way, there is one more detail that I have to mention.

All the "shou" characters on this blue and white longevity character will also make corresponding changes in shape according to their positions.

The font size, fatness and thinness all increase or decrease with the bumps and twists of the body.

The most important thing is that all this is done very smoothly and naturally, and it feels like a whole when you look at it.

The mystery in these 10000 "shou" characters, I am afraid that it will be impossible to explain it in a few thousand words, so I have to sigh again for the wisdom of flattering!

It is reported that countless calligraphers and craftsmen across the country spent nearly 10000 years just to "create" these 7 "shou" characters.

Such ingenuity is admirable.

However, the background of the era that appeared was not as expected!

Of course, such a piece of porcelain is estimated to be worth more than 12 billion, so there is no problem at all.

Such precious porcelain can no longer be measured by value.

Whether it's 12 billion or 13 billion, it won't be put up for auction anyway. This is just a gimmick.

This piece of porcelain can only be placed in a museum for people to visit and appreciate from generation to generation, so that modern people can appreciate the wisdom of the ancients. Perhaps it is the best destination for it.

Knowing this, Chen Wenzhe was naturally very fortunate.

If you let him create it, let’s not talk about whether it can be created, but just talk about the time. If it takes seven years, how many people can support it?

It's all right now, just follow the gourd painting, copy it first, get familiar with it, and then practice makes perfect.

In this way, a Longevity Zun can't be copied quickly. Why has he learned so many techniques recently?

However, making a Longevity Zun is definitely not something that can be completed in a short period of time.

Therefore, Chen Wenzhe is not in a hurry, for such a treasure, if it is imitated, it will be a victory.

Besides, he is not idle every day.
