Chen Yang looked carefully at the Chenghua Doucai Grape Pattern Cup in front of him. Currently, there is only one place in China that has it, and that is Shobo. The first blog was made in 1962. When the Beijing Normal University engineering team was constructing the expansion campus, they dug out a lot of square bricks in the foundation. Such bricks naturally made the engineering team feel strange, and the engineering team immediately suspended the excavation work. , an archaeological team was called in, and a vaulted tomb roof was discovered. After archaeological experts arrived at the scene, after survey and observation, they found that this was an ancient tomb.

The pair of Chenghua doucai grape-patterned cups from Shoubo were unearthed from this tomb. The owner of the tomb was Hesheli, a seven-year-old girl. At that time, in addition to the pair of Chenghua doucai grape-patterned cups, a large number of funerary objects were also discovered. They were large in quantity and exquisitely made, and most of them were rare. Among them were the Jiajing doucai incense burner with eight trigrams and the Wanli colorful flower-and-bird pattern washer. , sweet white glaze dark flower dragon pattern pot made in Yongle year of Ming Dynasty, blue and white tall bowl and so on. These burial porcelains almost include representative works from the official kilns of the Ming and Qing dynasties.

This made many experts wonder, who was the seven-year-old girl and why were there so many precious items buried with her? As the excavation deepened, the epitaph of this tomb was discovered. From the epitaph, we learned that the owner of this tomb turned out to be a seven-year-old little girl. Her surname is Hesheli. She is the granddaughter of Sony, an important official in the early Qing Dynasty, and the daughter of Suo'etu.

When Shunzhi was dying, he appointed Sony, Obai, Suksaha and Erbilong as the four ministers of Gu Ming. When Kangxi was young, Obai was in power. In order to win over Sony and restrain Obai, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang selected Sony's granddaughter Hesheli as Kangxi's queen. Queen Hesheli is the daughter of Sony's second son Gabra, who is Queen Xiaochengren, and this seven-year-old girl is the cousin of Queen Xiaochengren.

Little Hesheli was born in the Zhongming Dingshi family. During her lifetime, her father Suo'etu was very powerful. She was loved by her family since she was a child. However, unfortunately, she died at the age of only 7 years old. The family was so heartbroken that they built a magnificent tomb for him, and buried him with precious official kiln doucai, blue and white porcelain from the Ming Dynasty, and jade and bronze wares from the Tang and Song Dynasties.

The author of the epitaph was Shen Quan, a scholar from the Imperial Academy, who was born in Tanhua. He was a bachelor's degree student at the Hanlin Academy. Feng Yuanji, an alternate scholar, was the seal script inscription on the tablet. Liu Yuan, the general magistrate of Changsha Prefecture, filled in Zhu. These extraordinary funeral treatments illustrate the powerful power and financial resources of the Suo'etu family from one aspect, and also confirm that the corruption of officials in Suo'etu recorded in historical records is not a lie.

In 2008, Chen Yang accompanied Mr. Gong Ming to Shoubo to see and touch the pair of Chenghua Doucai Grape Pattern Cups with his own eyes. Mr. Gong Ming has a skill. He can recreate Chenghua contemporary raw materials and Regarding the production process, in order to protect cultural relics, Shoubo specially set up a project to invite Master Gong Ming to Shoubo to conduct a high-level restoration of this pair of Ming Dynasty Chenghua Doucai Grape Pattern Cups.

Therefore, Chen Yang can now be sure that the one in his hand is definitely not one of the pair from Shoubao. This grape pattern cup should be the one that Jingcheng Baoli will auction in 2023. Chen Yang looked at the cup in his hand and thought about it. There was nothing wrong with the cup. If this was the one Baoli auctioned, the painting should also appear here!

Xiao Huai saw Chen Yang looking at the cup in his hand seriously. He had heard Zhenfeng say that when Chen Yang was looking at the objects, it was best not to interrupt, and he was ready to turn around and go out. After all, the night was the busiest time in the gambling bureau, and he was there. There's nothing you can do to help here, so you might as well go out.

"Boss Chen, please watch first. If you need help, just call me."

Chen Yang nodded slightly, and then asked, "Xiaohuai, have you received a painting?"

"Painting?" Xiao Huai smiled after hearing this. Not to mention paintings, there were people bringing calendars! Then he opened the cabinet, took out a few scrolls of paintings, and motioned to Chen Yang to take a look. Chen Yang just glanced at it slightly. There was no need to open these paintings. At first glance, it was not the painting he was looking for, and the length was wrong.

After Chen Yang looked at the grape pattern cup for a while, he put the cup away. Then I walked to the corner and looked at the messy things on the ground, and secretly smiled bitterly in my heart. This little Sophora japonica just piled all these things together without knowing how to classify them.

You’re here, you have to take a look! Chen Yang knelt down and took out one item after another, looking at it while tidying it up. Fortunately, he was good at it and could understand many things at a glance. Otherwise, he would have to wait until he finished looking at so many things. , it’s almost Chinese New Year!

Chen Yang was watching one by one, and Song Qingyun opened the door from outside and walked in, "These guys, their hands are itchy when they come, and they all get on the card table! What are you doing?"

"You're here, uncle!" Chen Yang stood up directly and patted the dust on his hands, "Aren't these all collected by Xiaohuai? Let me see what good things there are!"

"So many?" Song Qingyun glanced at the objects piled in the corner, "Come on, let me take a look too!"

As he spoke, Song Qingyun took off his outer coat, rolled up his sleeves, and squatted beside Chen Yang to look at each item. The two of them looked at a lot of items, not to mention anything good, not even a decent one. Song Qingyun said to Chen Yang next time, don't cast a big net to catch small fish like this next time, it's not much better than collecting rags.

Chen Yang said that he and Song Qingyun didn't have time at that time, and Zhenfeng had a lot of things to do, so he asked Xiaohuai to come over. Anyway, it's okay, these people exchanged the items for money, but in the end they have to stay in the gambling game, and they won't pay any compensation inside or outside!

"Uncle Master, you look at it first. I'll go over there and look in the cabinet to take a break!" Chen Yang put his hands on his waist, stood up and said to Song Qingyun.

Song Qingyun squatted on the ground and glanced at Chen Yang, saying that this kid was actually sneaking around and was already tired after just doing it for a while.

"Why, you are so young and your waist is not as good as mine?"

"Uncle, you don't have a wife. When you get married with Sister Mei," Chen Yang turned to Song Qingyun, "I'll give you a small electric motor, haha!"

"Get out of here!" Song Qingyun rolled his eyes at Chen Yang, "Everything is big or small all day long. Let me tell you, if I find something good in a while, it will be mine!"

"Okay!" Chen Yang stretched out, reached out and opened a scroll and took a look at it, "As we are, what's yours is mine, and what's mine is mine!"

Song Qingyun nodded while looking at the object, "You kid said that, it's still you... No, isn't that shit all yours?"

"Hahaha!" Chen Yang smiled and threw a piece of writing directly into the stove pit. It wasn't even from modern times. It was clearly written by the village veterinarian last week!

A few minutes later, Song Qingyun glanced in Chen Yang's direction and said, "Boy, come here and see what this is? You're really dead!"

Chen Yang turned his head and looked in the direction of Song Qingyun. Song Qingyun was holding a jar in his hand and was shaking it at Chen Yang with a smile. When Chen Yang saw the jar, his eyes lit up, he threw the scroll in his hand onto the kang, ran to Song Qingyun in a few steps, and squatted down.

This jar has a round mouth and plump shoulders, a round belly, and relaxed lines. The outer wall is painted with blue and white Kui dragon patterns, with one horn and four legs, a curly grass tail, and three sharp claws. It is embellished with tangled melon and fruit patterns. It has a handsome shape and is decorated with yellow , green and red colors are used to dye the fruits, branches and leaves and the upper and lower lotus petals, yellow and green, fresh and bright.

The blue and white on the bottom of the jar is painted with the word "天". The blue and white hair color is pure and elegant. The outer bottom is written with a rounded center front and the "天" character is written on the hidden front. The characters are in regular script and the strokes are strong and straight. This style and calligraphy are used throughout the Chenghua period and are the basis for the Ming Dynasty. A must. Melons and vines are used in porcelain paintings. During the Yongle period, there was a large blue and white plate with continuous melons and abundant fruits, which symbolized the prosperity of the people and the good wishes for the people to have a good harvest and live and work in peace and contentment.

"Holy shit, Chenghua Doucai Tianzi Jar!" Chen Yang looked at the jar in Song Qingyun's hand, "Uncle Master, what do you think I say, I'll get my money back for one piece!"

"Mine!" Song Qingyun laughed and annoyed Chen Yang, and then carefully carried the jar to the edge of the kang. After placing the jar firmly, he took off his shoes and got on the kang. Chen Yang and Song Qingyun looked at it carefully.

This Tianzi jar has a very solemn, round, exquisite and handsome shape, with artistic lines. The texture of the body is delicate and pure, as moist as gelatin. Most of the body is light and thin, and the trimming is regular. Its texture is like beautiful jade; the glaze is thick and moist. It is smooth and flawless, like fat and jade; there is a circle of accumulated glaze formed by vertical flow along the mouth of the vessel.

The glaze colors of Doucai Tianzi jars are generally red, green and yellow. Among them, red is bright but not impetuous, and plays an embellishment role in the decoration; green is transparent and bright, with a slight yellow tint; yellow is rich in changes, apricot slightly flashes red, light yellow is soft and transparent, turmeric is rich and deep... All colors are soft and elegant. The blue and white outline makes it appear quiet and gentle.

"What do you think?" Song Qingyun looked up at Chen Yang and asked.

The Tianzi jar was placed on the Kang table, and each person looked at it. Chen Yang looked at the Tianzi jar and nodded slightly, indicating that there was no problem on his side. Song Qingyun also said that there was no problem on his side. The two of them looked at each other at the same time. , "Look at the bottom!"

The bottom is brownish-yellow, commonly known as "rice paste bottom". It is neatly trimmed and stroked with your hands. It is warm and smooth without any roughness. This is the unique style of Chenghua official kiln wares. Finally, the two people looked at the sky at the same time. Character.

"The word Tian without columns is indeed an official, and the word is covered with heavy clouds below. Although the imitation of Kang, Yong, and Qian is skillful, the words are turned upward with floating clouds."

This is Mr. Sun Yingzhou's summed up the rhyming and catchy rhyme of the word "天" on the imperial kiln porcelain of the Chenghua Dynasty. The two of them muttered it silently and looked at the word "天" carefully.

The first sentence refers to a part of the Chenghua imperial kiln colored pot with the Chinese character "天" in blue and white regular script on the center of the outer bottom. There is no sidebar outside the word "天", but this kind of jar is indeed a product of the official kiln (imperial kiln). . Moreover, the strokes of the character "天" must be written in an open and generous manner, with the word "氺" being left out and the "捺" being pressed out.

The second sentence is that if you use a high-power magnifying glass to observe the strokes of the blue and white "天" character on the Chenghua Doucai "天" jar, you can find that there are dense bubbles in the glaze, the strokes sink, and the strokes seem to be covered with a layer of clouds.

The third and fourth sentences are that the Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong dynasties of the Qing Dynasty all imitated the "Chenghua Doucai Tianzi Jar", but if you use a high-power magnifying glass to observe the blue and white regular script "天" signed on the imitation, it will appear You will find that the bubbles in the glaze are sparse and the green material floats but does not sink.

When Mr. Sun compiled this ballad, there were not so many fake Tianzi jars on the market, mainly to distinguish whether they were made in Chenghua this year or old imitations.

Song Qingyun and Chen Yang looked at each other at the same time, "Come on!"

"It's from this dynasty!"
