Rebirth 93: Break off the engagement at the beginning and marry Bai Fumei

After a while, Lao Shan ran back with a few bottles of Jianlibao, put them on the table, smiled and motioned for everyone to drink. Chen Yang looked at Lao Shan handing everyone a can of Jianlibao, but he didn't have one himself, so he couldn't help but ask, "Where's your own?"

Lao Shan smiled and scratched his head, "Boss Chen, I don't like drinks. If you drink, you can drink."

Qin Haofeng rolled his eyes at Lao Shan and said with a dissatisfied look on his face, "Don't you like drinking? You bought it yourself because you don't like drinking! Last time Brother Zhenfeng bought it, he drank two cans in one go and even drank it. We drank all the bottom left in the jar!”

"That's not true." Zhu Zhu took a sip of the drink next to him, "Brother, you don't know, the Jianlibao can was even cleaner when he poured it out than when he first entered the factory. He only had to cut it open and lick it!"

"That's right!" Qin Haofeng nodded crazily beside him, "This guy even poured tea into an empty can, saying he wanted to rinse it clean!"

After finishing speaking, Qin Haofeng pointed at Lao Shan and asked, "I said you pay a lot of money a month. If one person is full, the whole family will not be hungry. You are all big men, why are you so stingy?"

Lao Shan blushed slightly, raised his arms and scratched his head in embarrassment, "It's not what you said. I see you still have so much left. Aren't you afraid of wasting it?"

Chen Yang looked at Lao Shan and pushed the Jianlibao in front of Lao Shan. "Drink it. I have a lot of things to tell you. This thing will taste sweet after drinking and will make your throat uncomfortable."

"Boss Chen, isn't this bad?" Lao Shan said it was bad, but his hands had already touched the can. Qin Haofeng stared at him and said, "Third brother, if you dare to touch me today, believe it or not, I will stop you from eating tomorrow and let you eat leftovers every day!"

When Lao Shan heard what Qin Haofeng said, he hurriedly smiled and retracted his hand. Chen Yang patted Qin Haofeng on the shoulder. Qin Haofeng looked at Chen Yang and said, "This guy is so annoying. He takes advantage of every little thing you can think of!"

"Okay, I'll continue to tell you, and then pull it down!" Chen Yang knocked on the table and motioned for the others to continue.

Brocade pattern refers to the use of brocade and architectural paintings as decorative patterns, and the composition is very regular. Because it is often used as a ground pattern, it is called "Jin ground pattern". Brocade patterns are often composed of hydrangea, turtle back, flowers, cloud patterns, etc., and the flower patterns painted on the brocade ground are also called brocade flowers; rhombus pattern, rhombus refers to a parallelogram with four equal sides. Patterns with rhombuses as the main composition elements and arranged regularly are called rhombus patterns, which were first seen on pottery from the Neolithic Age.

"Twining branch pattern," Chen Yang did not draw the twining branch pattern in the notebook, "I don't need to draw it at all. This is one of the most popular patterns in ancient times. It is also known as the Wanshou Vine. It is a common pattern on porcelain. It is based on plants. The branches or vines serve as the skeleton, extending up and down, left and right, forming a wavy line-like two-way continuous or four-way continuous, looping back and forth, euphemistic and colorful."

"The wrapping pattern originated in the Han Dynasty and became popular in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Sui and Tang Dynasties, Song and Yuan Dynasties, Ming and Qing Dynasties. In the Ming Dynasty, it was also called "twisting branches", which used plant branches or vines as the skeleton, extending up and down, left and right, forming a wavy pattern The two sides are continuous or the four sides are continuous, the cycle goes back and forth, and the changes are endless."

"This kind of pattern can be combined. The one composed of peonies is called the entwining peony; the one composed of lotus and grape is called the entangled lotus and the entangled grape pattern; the one composed of characters and birds and beasts is called the entangled branch pattern. "

"As for the specific style," Chen Yang chuckled when he said this, "We have many antiques with branching patterns on them. You can take a look at them yourself."

Everyone laughed and said that this kind of decoration is common, especially on most porcelains of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Chen Yang knocked on the table, "You don't just know it, you also need to understand it! You must know that the entwining branch pattern is the representative of Yongxuan blue and white. The Yongxuan blue and white intertwining flower pattern is a classic among classics, reflecting the The high level of aesthetics of the branch pattern at that time, don’t underestimate this kind of branch pattern!”

Qian pattern, this one is relatively simple. The pattern appears as a circle with inward arc-shaped squares, similar to round square hole money, which are closely arranged. There are also patterns drawn in a string, with two pairs of intersecting patterns. Qian Wen is mostly used to decorate the edges of plates and bowls or the shoulders or abdomen of bottles and jars. It spreads continuously to the left and right to form a decorative belt; it has a flower pattern with round stamens, and several petals are dotted around the stamens to form a flower. It is often decorated on the neck or abdomen of the utensils, and is sometimes inserted between stripes or spaced apart from grass blades to form new decorations.

These are relatively easy-to-understand auxiliary patterns. Everyone will understand them as soon as they are explained, and there are not many changes in each period, so Chen Yang just passed them by.

"Lotus petal pattern," Chen Yang carefully drew the pattern of the lotus pattern on the notebook, indicating to several people to focus on this, "taking lotus petals as individuals, several petals overlap, intersect or are tightly connected around the neck and shoulders of the object. , abdomen, shins and other parts, they can be divided into single-layer, double-layer and multi-layer lotus petals based on their layers. Based on their shape, they can also be divided into upward lotus, covered lotus, deformed lotus, etc. "

"This kind of decoration first appeared in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. Through the Tang and Song Dynasties, and in the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, this decorative pattern was very popular on porcelain. Although the lotus petal pattern has always been relatively uniform in shape, in terms of detailed decoration and composition, There are many changes and styles, and the patterns of different periods have their own characteristics. These characteristics have a certain assistive role in dating porcelain."

Speaking of this, Chen Yang simply drew a few people on the notebook, "Yuan Dynasty: There is a gap between the lotus petals (blank); Hongwu: There is no gap between the lotus petals; Yongle: There is a bridge on the shoulder of the lotus petals (continuous strokes) ; Xuande: The lotus petals are painted flat and left white."

Chen Yang took a deep breath and said, "These are relatively unique features, so when you hold a piece of porcelain in your hand and see these features, you should know which period it belongs to."

The three people watched and nodded. Lao Shan actually reached out and pulled the notebook to his side, and wrote down everything Chen Yang said and drawn with his pen. Qin Haofeng smiled and shook his head next to him. This guy is a good scholar, but isn't there a live one on the shelf? Just go and see it and you'll know?

"Brother, I saw that on some porcelains, the lotus petal pattern is painted upside down on the bottom. Is it also a type of lotus petal pattern?" Zhu Zhu took a sip of the drink next to him and asked Chen Yang.

"That's called the upward lotus pattern!" Chen Yang looked at the pillar with satisfaction, "It's a variation of the lotus petal pattern. Yang means facing up. The upward lotus pattern is one of the important features of the blue and white porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty. The overall shape They are geometric lotus petals, outlined with civil and military lines (referring to one thick and one thin line), with the tips of the petals pointing upward, and several juxtaposed around the root of the object. Most blue and white objects of the Yuan Dynasty have upward lotus patterns at the roots. decorate."

"Moreover," Chen Yang tapped the table with his hand, "the lotus pattern is an important symbol for determining whether porcelain belongs to the Yuan Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty."

Chen Yang signaled Qin Haofeng to find a piece of Yuan blue and white and a Ming Dynasty artifact with Yanglian pattern. The Yanglian pattern can be understood as long as you have the actual object in hand. Qin Haofeng and Zhu Zhu each held a piece of porcelain and placed the object on the table. Chen Yang reached out and picked up a large Yuan blue and white jar with a lotus pattern underneath.

"In the Yuan Dynasty, a single lotus petal was larger in size, large and sparse; each lotus petal was formed independently and was not connected to each other. The shoulder of the petal was wider than the pedicle and formed into a trumpet shape. It formed an upward petal according to the closing or bottom shape of the device. Lotus or covered lotus. The petals are balanced on the shoulders, and the center is slightly pointed and closes." Chen Yang pointed to the upward lotus pattern at the bottom and explained to several people.

"The outline is drawn with two lines, one thick and one thin. The outer line is thick and thick, and the inner line is slender. The method of drawing the thick and thin lines is either double hooking the outline and then filling it in, or painting it directly without hooking the outline. The inner line is drawn with a single stroke Out, thicker knots can be seen at the joints.”

"There is a lot of white space in the middle of the lotus petals, depicting flowers, cloud heads, eight treasures, miscellaneous treasures, etc., and striving for variety within the rules; the shape of the lotus petals is relatively fixed, with little change, and the general shape is similar, with slightly different details. "

As he spoke, Chen Yang placed the Yuan blue and white flowers on the table, then picked up the Xuande yellow-glazed blue and white plum vase with folded branches, flowers and fruits in front of him, and pointed to the Yanglian pattern below for the others to see for themselves, "Ming Dynasty porcelain Each period of firing has its own characteristics, so the upward lotus pattern also shows different characteristics. After inheriting the style and modeling characteristics of the Yuan Dynasty, in the early Ming Dynasty, Hongwu, Xuande, and Yongle periods, the situation of disconnected lotus petals still existed. , but more often than not, the lotus petals are directly connected to each other, and there is a main line between the functions of the two lotus petals.”

"A single lotus petal is larger, but it is no longer as sparsely laid out as in the Yuan Dynasty, and has begun to become dense and cramped. At the same time, the lotus petal pattern in the Yongle period was more elegant, while in the Xuande period it was more plump, and the color ground was full of white space. Mainly, supplemented by light lines."

Having said this, Chen Yang glanced at the three of them, "Besides these, what else do you see?"

Qin Haofeng looked at it carefully and said, "The lotus petals are more vivid." Chen Yang nodded after hearing this, "What else?"

"There is no border!" Zhu Zhu hit the nail on the head, "Brother, there is a border around the Yanglian pattern of Yuan blue and white. By the Ming Dynasty, this border was gone, and it was just a pattern."

Chen Yang smiled and snapped his fingers, "Correct! This is the biggest change,"

"The Yanglian pattern of the Ming Dynasty no longer needs to borrow edge lines like the Yuan Dynasty!" Chen Yang smiled, pointing to the bottom of the two objects and explained to the three of them, "To put it simply and straightforwardly, the Yanglian pattern of the Yuan Dynasty They all have borders, but by the Ming Dynasty, this frame was gone.”

"The term is called, don't borrow edges, but you don't have to worry about it, just remember whether there is a frame or not!" Chen Yang chuckled at this, "We are just antique dealers, not researchers, and we don't need to think about how ancient people drew it. , just remember the characteristics.”
