Rebirth: I am a first-line antique dealer

Chapter 107 Wang Qi’s Porcelain Painting

Ding Mao's idea has actually been recognized by Xu Bangtai for a long time. With his help, many things will be much easier to handle.

After the birthday banquet, life returned to normal again.

When the weather is good, she goes to the countryside to shovel the land, and when she is tired, she takes a day or two to rest. However, Meng Qingchan is very diligent and comes to Dingmao to study even on her days off.

This tireless and progressive attitude, as well as her outstanding talent, make Ding Mao believe that her vision will be higher than hers in the future!

It was the weekend, and Ding Mao did not go to the countryside. Since it had just snowed, there were no people setting up stalls in the market, so it was rare for Ding Mao to have some leisure time!

But he was used to getting up early, and he really didn't have the habit of sleeping in late.

After breakfast, Meng Qingxia came to him!

There just happened to be several helpers picking those Song coins, and Ding Mao was able to explain the version to him through physical objects!

In fact, the only way to really broaden your horizons in antique shopping is to constantly pass on genuine items!

"Look at this Song and Yuan Tongbao, it is a prestigious item, and it is also the most easily overlooked leak by novices. It is called You Tiao Yuan!"

Upon hearing this, Meng Qingchan quickly took it and compared it with the ordinary Song and Yuan Tongbao, and soon discovered that it was different.

"The second stroke of the character Yuan is written differently!"

Ding Mao smiled happily.

"Yes, it is common to pick Yuan from the left, but it is extremely rare to pick Yuan from the right. The so-called Tiao Yuan can be seen from its literal meaning. It is the horizontal pick of the character Yuan."

"Well, I see!"

In order to prevent him from missing the edition, Ding Mao quickly stood up and took out a fine product that he had picked out before.

"Look at what's different about Song Yuan!"

Meng Qingchan took it, looked at it for a long time, kept frowning, and finally said with some uncertainty: "There seems to be a slight difference in the way the word Song is written!"

Ding Mao nodded with satisfaction and asked, "What's the difference?"

"The difference is next to the wooden character of the Song character. The other left sides are more like dots, but this one is a stroke!"

Meng Qingchan didn't know if what she said was right, but if she wanted to make progress, she had to answer honestly, so that her shortcomings and undiscovered differences could be pointed out!

When Ding Mao heard this, he immediately gave him a thumbs up.

"Yes, this version is called Huichang Fan, and its main feature is the wooden character! Also, you have to remember that the copper coins of Song and Yuan Tongbao are Guangchuan and there is no ordinary version. When you see Guangchuan, you have to pay attention!"

"Well, I see!"

Ding Mao's early focus on teaching her was still on ancient coins, because after learning about ancient coins, even if she couldn't date other bronzes she encountered, she could still tell how old they were from their copper quality.

Take the Buddha statues that Ding Mao collected, for example. Although he couldn't date them, he could tell from the copper that they were old.

"Ding Mao, do you think this Holy Song Yuanbao is the same version?"

Hearing this, Ding Mao immediately took it, and Ding Mao recognized its version with just one glance.

"Well, this is the Holy Song Yuanbao middle crown. The main feature is that the treasure cover of Baozi is longer than other ordinary ones, and it basically stretches to half of the body of Beizi!"

Meng Qingchan only thought that Ding Mao's father might be good at this, but she didn't expect that Ding Mao was the master.

Teaching by words and deeds, Cui Miao entered the room when he was getting a little selfless in explaining.

"Brother Cat, look what good things I brought you!"

As soon as he entered the house, he saw the delicate and beautiful Meng Qingchan, and she was so close to Ding Mao, and she seemed to be taking over her own job, which made Cui Miao very happy!

Seeing Cui Miao coming, Ding Mao raised his head with a beautiful smile on his face.

"Let me guess what you brought me!"

Ding Mao pretended to think, and then said: "It's roasted sweet potatoes!"

Cui Miao had long known from Ding Mao that he loved roasted sweet potatoes, so when he came here today, he saw some being sold on the road, so he specially bought some for Ding Mao!

"How did you know?"

Seeing how cute Cui Miao was in a daze, Ding Mao stepped forward and scratched her nose.

“The scent of sweet potatoes has already filled the house!”

"Oh, here you are!"

Cui Miao stuffed the sweet potato she was carrying behind her back into Ding Mao's hand!

Ding Mao knew from Cui Miao's demeanor that she must be confused or jealous at this time.

So he quickly explained: "Miaomiao, this is my senior sister Meng Qingchan, follow me to learn antique knowledge!"

Although Cui Miao felt uncomfortable, she still said hello!

"Hello, senior sister!"

Seeing that Cui Miao's expression only softened slightly, but her tone was still neither salty nor bland, Ding Mao had no choice but to express his stance.

"Sister, this is..."

Halfway through his words, he suddenly looked at Cui Miao and asked him humbly: "You have never personally admitted that you are my girlfriend. Is it okay if I introduce you in this capacity?"

Cui Miao's face turned red instantly, but her heart was no longer disgusted, but instead filled with secret joy and slight complaint!

The two of them had kissed each other and hugged each other. Although they had never revealed it in words, they were nothing but boyfriend and girlfriend!

So, just as she was about to pinch Ding Mao's waist, he dodged it nimbly.

"Senior sister, this is my girlfriend Cui Miao!"

In fact, Meng Qingchan has always doubted whether Ding Mao helped her because he liked her in his heart. But today when Cui Miao got one, she realized that she was overthinking it!

But why does my heart feel so uncomfortable and lost?

"Hello, Cui Miao! You don't need to call me Senior Sister, just call me Qingchan!"

After a brief greeting, we got to know each other.

"You are picking big money! Do you need my help?"

Cui Miao blinked her big eyes and looked back at Ding Mao!

"You are my little lucky star. Now that you are here, don't even think about taking a break. You must be needed!"

Ding Mao pinched Cui Miao very affectionately, and Cui Miao's delicate face immediately caused Cui Miao to fight back.

The two of them played around for a while, and Meng Qingchan looked a little envious in her heart.

After a while of commotion, Cui Miao and Meng Qingchan carried coins together, while Ding Mao ate roasted sweet potatoes!

However, although Cui Miao was very satisfied with Ding Mao's performance, she also decided in her heart that during the winter vacation, she would also study with him every day. After all, such a pretty and lovely girl is still a bit dangerous!

"Brother Cat, is Taoist Taoist Wang Qi a famous master?"

Ding Maoteng stood up from the stool in an instant, stared straight at Cui Miao, and asked, "Are you sure it's Taoist Taoist Wang Qi?"

"Well, yes! Grandpa likes calligraphy, and I can't mistake that word!"

Cui Miao answered confidently.

She has been with her grandfather since she was a child and has been influenced by him. She can still recognize calligraphy fonts.

"It's a famous artist. Where did you see it? On what utensil?"

Ding Mao probably guessed that it should be a porcelain plate. If it were a dust bottle or tea jar, it should also have the Caiyunxuan mark on it.

"My classmate's house. When I went to borrow books from her house, I saw the kind of hanging porcelain plates with wooden frames!"

Wang Qi, (1884-1937), also known as Bizhen, nicknamed Tao Mi Taoist, and named Tao Tao Zhai. He was good at kneading people at first, and then changed to the boneless method to paint Buddha statues. He also painted based on Qian Hui'an's paintings of beautiful women. He studied calligraphy and painting with Deng Bishan. After middle age, he learned the painting style of Huang Shen, one of the "Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou". He used freehand brushwork to paint clothing patterns, Western painting to paint faces, and cursive script inscriptions, which are full of innovative ideas.

He was the first of the "Eight Friends of Zhushan" who were famous porcelain painters in Jingdezhen in the early Republic of China.Commonly used models are printed with Wang Qi, Tao Mi, Xixinzhai, Bizhen, etc. He is an artist who is good at poetry, calligraphy and painting, and is a leader among Jingdezhen pottery artists that people deeply respect.

If the figures in porcelain art paintings of the Republic of China can be said to be the first, Wang Qi must be the one who leads the way. Wang's pastel figures created a precedent in the history of ceramic painting in my country. He can be said to be the originator and influenced the painting style of modern ceramics for nearly a century. .
