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

The thing that Chen Yang was interested in had a very strange shape, and was randomly placed in an inconspicuous position by the uncle setting up the stall.

Above the abdomen of the object, there are five small pots surrounding the body, with a large tube erected in the middle, the middle is high and the four are low, with the abdomen hanging down and the feet circled. The shape of the vessel is simple and vigorous, and the lines are soft and round, giving people a simple and solemn feeling.

This object is called a five-tube bottle, also known as a multi-tube bottle. It is a type of bottle popular in the Song Dynasty. It is named because there are many round tubes distributed on each side of the shoulder of the bottle. It is similar to a pen holder, but smaller than a pen. The plug is much larger.

Chinese culture applies the five elements to many aspects of society: things have five elements, fate has five elements, dynasties have five elements, directions have five elements, etc. Almost everything can be applied to the Five Elements Theory, which is intended to conform to the principles of the right time and place and imitate the order of the universe to construct a social ideology.

The ancients were particularly fond of using the five-tube shape. Not only does it have a balanced and symmetrical beauty, but it is also a reflection of the national cultural psychology. It reflects the prosperity of the ancient Yin-Yang and Five-Element ideas. In short, because the auspicious meaning contained in the five-tube shape is yearned for by people, it is logical that the five-tube bottle came into being.

Chen Yang did not walk over directly, but stood not far from the stall, glancing at him from time to time. This object is about twenty centimeters tall and has a regular shape. Judging from its shape, it looks very much like an object from an official kiln.

There are different opinions as to what this multi-tube bottle was used for. Some said it was a candlestick, some said it was a flower arrangement device, and some speculated that it meant a barn. There are still different opinions on whether it is daily necessities, decorations or burial objects.

This multi-tube vase is covered with white glaze all over. The blue and white color is blue with a hint of grayish green, and the glaze is moist, which is more in line with the color characteristics of the Ming Dynasty.

Chen Yang did not go directly to the multi-tube bottle. After looking at the nearby stall for a while, he got up and came to the uncle's stall, pretending to be looking at things with nothing to do.

"Young man, take a look, they are all good things." The uncle greeted Chen Yang politely.

Chen Yang nodded, looked up at his uncle, smiled and nodded, "Uncle, why are you selling old things here?"

"There is no management fee, just go to the market and ask for money!" The uncle chuckled, "I might not be able to sell even one piece today. If I pay more management fees, wouldn't I lose money?"

Chen Yang put down the things in his hands, looked up at his uncle and smiled, "Uncle, I'm not asking that. I'm saying, why don't you find some new things to sell, like socks, clips, etc. sold in the market? These old things are shabby. It’s so tattered, who’s going to buy it?”

"Hey, young man, don't underestimate old things." The uncle chuckled and took out a can bottle with tea in it. After taking a sip, he said to Chen Yang, "These are all good things. If you want They’re all new and worthless!”

"Really?" Chen Yang's eyes lit up, and he leaned closer to the uncle and whispered, "I saw someone over there just spent 5000 yuan to buy a broken copperware and ran away. The copper was rusty, and he went back to sell it for scrap collection. If you can’t even sell it for a dollar, what’s the value of this thing?”

"Haha!" The uncle raised his head and smiled. Looking at Chen Yang's expression of not understanding anything, he thought to himself: "I can eat meat again today!"

Then he explained to Chen Yang what antiques were and what their value was. Since last year, there has been a craze for antiques in Jiangcheng. Last summer, a small business owner in Jiangcheng found a set of Song Dynasty books in the Fengcheng ghost market. It was said to be worth a lot of money and even the experts in the capital were shocked. So this year we will not Many people went to buy old stuff.

Oh, let me go! Chen Yang finally understood what was going on.

Let's just say that in my impression, there were not many people in Jiangcheng playing with antiques in the 90s. How come I have been encountering people selling old items one after another in the past two days? It turns out that this is what happened.

"Come, take a look at my bottle. It's painted brown all over. Look at how gorgeous the color is. Although it's brown, it's not much worse than gold." The uncle picked up a bottle and showed it to Chen Yang Then he said, "Look at how beautiful the shape of this vessel is. This kind of craftsmanship is absolutely unknown among the people. At first glance, it looks like an object from the Wanli Year of the Qing Dynasty!"

What the hell? Chen Yang looked up at his uncle and thought to himself: Uncle, you may not know how to read objects, but you must not understand history. What is the Wanli Year of the Qing Dynasty? That old guy from Wanli is quite alive!

"Let me tell you, Ming Qinghua is the most valuable..."

Chen Yang picked up a porcelain bowl and looked at it. He didn't even need to look carefully. It wasn't even from the 1950s or 1960s. It was definitely from the 1980s.

"This bowl is made of fine white porcelain, from Jiajing, Ming Dynasty!"

Yes, Jiajing has traveled through time again!

Putting down the porcelain bowl, Chen Yang saw a spoon in the box and thought to himself, these people collect old goods, they just take them away if they look old, even the spoons for eating!

The uncle saw Chen Yang looking at the spoon, "This spoon is from the Western Zhou Dynasty. Look at this white jade, how beautiful the jade is, you can see it at a glance, how transparent it is!"

This guy is for porridge! It's still jade, it's clearly ceramic, but it's been polished to make it look brighter. Forget it, let's get straight to the point.

Chen Yang clapped his hands, stood up and said with a smile, "Uncle, I don't understand what you are talking about. I am just watching the excitement to see if there is anything weird."

Chen Yang said with a silly smile, while scanning around with his eyes, and suddenly pointed at the multi-tube bottle next to the uncle, "Uncle, your bottle is so strange, let me take a look!"

The uncle looked at the position of Chen Yang's fingers and found that Chen Yang was pointing to the multi-tube bottle. His expression became relaxed, "Hey, this, this is much worse than those things, I don't even know what it is. "

As the uncle spoke, he picked up the bottle and handed it to Chen Yang. When Chen Yang saw this, he motioned to the uncle to put it down and took it again. With the uncle in this state, Chen Yang was really afraid that he would blackmail him!

The uncle put the bottle on the ground, "I collected this thing from the countryside. I originally thought it would be okay to take it back to my wife to grow flowers, but my wife said that I can't even water it if I use it to grow flowers. You say it's a chamber pot, right?" , who can speak so accurately, I really don’t know what it is used for!”

Chen Yang picked up the bottle and looked at it. He almost laughed out loud after hearing what the uncle said. Be a chamber pot? What did this uncle think?

Holding the multi-tube bottle in his hand, Chen Yang looked at it repeatedly. The belly of the bottle is painted with the figure of Panasonic Gaoshi. The brushwork is simple and rough, in line with the hair color characteristics of the Ming Dynasty. It has a strong three-dimensional sense and shows passionate and unrestrained humanistic feelings.

The lower part of the bottle has a blue and white lotus pattern. The blue and white patterns painted on the porcelain bottle have various levels, and the lower part is yellowish and clear. The carcass is relatively thick, the enamel is thick and moist, and there are many traces of flint red spots on the soles.

There are five tubes standing on the shoulders. The inside of the tubes is hollow and connected with the abdomen. The abdominal wall is carved with a double upward lotus petal pattern. It is covered with thick emerald green glaze. The lower body is covered with patterns and has a unique shape.

The objects in the blank period did not escape! Chen Yang turned the multi-tube bottle and looked at it, mentally confirming the year, and then placed the multi-tube bottle on the ground again.

"This thing just looks weird," the uncle said from the side. "I guess it was an object used by the people in ancient times. If you look at TV, movies, the Golden Palace, and the emperor's palace, this thing has appeared before."

Isn't this nonsense? The people who made the TV show haven't seen this object yet, so of course they don't need it.

"Uncle, how much does this bottle cost? I quite like it, mainly out of curiosity." Chen Yang asked the uncle with a smile.

"You want it?" There was confusion on the uncle's face. This thing had been sitting there for a month or two. At first there were still people looking at it, but then no one even asked, and now this young man actually wants it.

Chen Yang nodded and said that he wanted to go back and study it to see what this thing was used for.

The uncle lowered his head and thought for a moment, "If you want it, just give me a hundred yuan."

"Bye!" Chen Yang stood up and was about to leave. The uncle hurriedly called out to Chen Yang, "Little brother, these are only five or six vases. I don't want much!"

"Thirty!" Chen Yang stretched out three fingers.

"It's too little. The young man is adding more, so you can take away the eighty yuan!"

"You can't compare like that. Your bottle has cracks on this side. Maybe it will break before I even get on the bus!" Chen Yang pointed at the top of the bottle and said, "Besides, you don't even know what it's for. Yes, I have to go back and study it now."

"Eighty is too expensive. It's only thirty yuan. If it sells, I'll take it. If it doesn't sell, I'll leave!"
