The porcelains selected by Chen Wenzhe are all high-quality goods, well-preserved, and well-crafted. They are considered the most valuable among the salvaged shipwrecks this time.

For example, the blue and white lotus pond and mandarin duck pattern Clark plate, and the Ming blue and white lotus pond mandarin duck pattern Clark plate.

Among the fine works of these "Clark" porcelains, there are some well-preserved fine works for every decoration and glaze color.

These porcelains were selected by Chen Wenzhe, represented by ornamentation.

The ones that are characterized by continuous consecration patterns are definitely more valuable.

In the eyes of ordinary people, they are more beautiful.

Not to mention other things, the interior paintings of landscapes, figures, flowers and birds, fruits, stationery and other auspicious patterns in the consecration are comfortable no matter how you look at them.

Therefore, as long as there are porcelains with these characteristics, Chen Wenzhe has selected them.

There are not many types of utensils, only bowls, plates and plates, cups, bottles, covered boxes, military holders, etc.

There are so many types of utensils, each one selected by Chen Wenzhe is a treasure, and the value is not low.

After all, with Chen Wenzhe's vision at this time, could the things he selected be worse?

Not to mention porcelain, which side of those bronze mirrors is not precious?

When foreigners entered the country during the Ming Dynasty, what was not a treasure?

Just like the Chinese people at this time, looking at the daily necessities of the Ming Dynasty, as long as they are a little extravagant, which one is not a treasure?

But when it comes to which one is the most precious and the most valuable, these really don't count.

To talk about a treasure, it needs to be an orphan among them, and there is really one of them.

Therefore, Chen Wenzhe said with a smile: "Looking at these porcelains, which one is the best? The most precious?"

Gao Qijing's eyeballs were rolling around, he was no longer young, but his brain was more flexible than many young people.

There is no way, the environment is forcing him, if he is flexible, can he get mixed up to the present level?

At this time, let him choose the most precious one of these antiques, he still has some ideas.

"These large quantities of porcelain, even if they were precious in the past, should not be considered precious now that we have hit the market, so they are still rare and expensive. Although this mirror is made of glass, its craftsmanship is very good. There are matching unique boxes, they should be regarded as the most precious treasures, right?"

Chen Wenzhe gave a thumbs up. It is not easy for Gao Qijing to be able to understand the value of some antiques from a novice who doesn't understand at all.

It's a pity that his idea is right, but what he said is wrong. If there is no other piece of porcelain, this glass mirror, he can really win the leader.

"This one is the most precious, and it is this military weapon. You must know that this is an elephant head military weapon. It is very rare in China. It seems that I have seen one before. This should be the second one!"

Chen Wenzhe said with emotion again, if he didn't understand it carefully, he really wouldn't know that this thing is so precious.

"It? Why is it so precious? Just because there is only one piece?" Gao Qijing asked strangely.

Chen Wenzhe laughed, this thing is really worth researching.

Military holdings are not uncommon in China, even animal-shaped military holdings are not uncommon.

However, it was precisely because of Izumi's military support that a secret was solved.

It can be said that the rediscovery of this artifact has revealed a secret in Buddhism.

Of course, the reason why Chen Wenzhe knew this was definitely not because of his military equipment.

Many animal-shaped military weapons have been unearthed in China before, and some were found from ancient shipwrecks, but they are not elephant-shaped military weapons.

At that time, when seeing this kind of porcelain, many people didn't know what it was and what it was used for.

Ordinary shipwrecks either encounter shelling or extreme weather, which eventually leads to the sinking of a fully loaded cargo ship.

Hundreds of years later, they finally see the light of day again.

Among the many out-of-water JDZ porcelains, Junchi must be a special porcelain.

Especially the Xiangshou Junchi, which is a typical Jingzhen blue and white porcelain, its shape is similar to that of an elephant carrying a heavy load, and there are two large and small mouths above the elephant's mouth and the heavy load.

At first glance, it should be a container for water, but what exactly is it?

When this animal-shaped army was discovered for the first time, everyone really couldn't figure it out.

We all know that archeology is a very rigorous science that cannot tolerate sloppy and mistakes.

Finding out the true use of cultural relics is not only of great significance for studying the background of ancient shipwrecks, but also may contribute to the development of the field of archaeology.

In order to clarify the "true identity" of this kind of "blue and white porcelain elephant", many archaeological experts also conducted heated discussions.

Some experts believe that this kind of utensil has a beautiful and elegant shape, and it should be a kind of art for cultivating sentiment.

However, some experts believe that it cannot be some kind of decoration, because it has a hole in the upper end and a hollow inside, so it should have some practical use.

This was confirmed after the wreck of the Wanli ship came out of the water.

why?Coincidentally, an elephant-shaped military weapon appeared on the wreck of the Wanli ship.

However, compared to Chen Wenzhe's case, it was far behind.

Of course, the shape is not exactly the same.

It is with this piece of military support that some experts have an idea.

That is, when the two experts were arguing endlessly, a ceramic expert put forward his own views.

The expert believes that the image of an elephant is rare in the history of Chinese porcelain, but it is very common in Yinsan.

Therefore, it is very likely that the water-discharging cultural relic is related to Buddhism.

If you want to uncover the final mystery, you still need to find a Buddhist expert.

After being appraised by Buddhist experts, the identity of the "blue and white porcelain elephant" was finally revealed.

It turns out that it is really not a handicraft for decoration, but a living utensil commonly used by ancient Buddhist monks. The name is "junchi", which is also the so-called "clean bottle".

In order to be able to explain it to everyone, Buddhist experts also deliberately named the utensil "Blue and White Elephant Head Fangzu Junchi", which belongs to a typical utensil in the category of military utensils.

Buddhist experts explained that military holding is the Chinese homonym of the Sanskrit word "捃智嘉", which is a must-have for monks traveling far away, and is usually used to hold clean water.

"Da Tang Western Regions" is a book dictated by Master Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty. It is recorded in it: "Xianzhijia, the Buddha's family used it to clean their hands."

It means that the water in the military can be used to wash hands.

In addition, the water in the army can also be drunk.

However, metal military holders will often rust, and the water contained in them is unsanitary, so most military holders are made of ceramics.

What needs to be added is that the jade bottle held in the hands of Guanyin Bodhisattva in "Journey to the West" is actually a derivative version of Junchi.

Maybe many readers will feel confused about the usage of military weapons. In fact, its design principle is very ingenious. After reading it, people will call it an ancient "black technology".
