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

Song Qingyun smiled while looking at the Tianzi jar in front of him, and pointed at Chen Yang, saying that Chen Yang's eyesight was really not an exaggeration, "You can see this object from this dynasty, how did you train your eyes?"

Chen Yang looked at Song Qingyun holding the Tianzi jar and reluctant to let go, and curled his lips. Didn't you see it yourself? What's so difficult about this object?

"What's the problem?" Song Qingyun glanced at Chen Yang, and then looked Chen Yang up and down, "Boy, there is no real thing like this on the market. I can tell that's because of the three pieces in the Palace Museum. Two of them were found by my second uncle. Not only have I seen them, I have also touched them with my own hands, but you..."

Chen Yang glanced at Song Qingyun, reached for a scroll and opened it to read. Song Qingyun was right. Before his rebirth, there were only 12 of these things in the world, and 3 of them were collected in the Palace Museum in Beijing. (Ming Chenghua Dou Cai Tianzi jar with sea water dragon pattern, Ming Cheng Hua Dou color Tianzi jar with flying elephant pattern, Ming Cheng Hua Dou color Tianzi jar with entwining lotus pattern.)

台北故宫博物院4只（明成化斗彩飞象纹天字罐、明成化斗彩夔龍纹天字罐、明成化斗彩飞马纹天字盖罐、明成化斗彩藤瓜果龙纹天字罐）；青岛博物馆1只（明成化斗彩飞马纹天字罐）；东京国立博物馆1只（明成化斗彩螭龙纹天字罐）；英国大英博物馆1只（明成化斗彩螭龙纹天字罐）；英国戴维斯基金会1只（明成化斗彩应龙纹天字罐），和美国哈佛大学艺术馆1只（明成化斗彩缠枝莲托八宝纹天字罐）。

The Tianzi jar was first created in Chenghua and was used by the Chenghua Emperor himself. It is the top of the Chenghua doucai vessels and is known as the "Emperor Jar". The Tianzi jar is extremely well made, plump and graceful, as big as a pair of fists. It is a small jar with a colorful lid. It is characterized by a straight mouth, short neck, rounded shoulders, bulging belly, introverted lower part, dug-in ring feet, and attached lid. The cover has mostly flat top, slightly convex, straight wall, covering the mouth of the jar. The decorative themes of Tianzi jars include Chilong pattern, Kuilong pattern, Yinglong pattern, flying elephant pattern, Pegasus pattern, entwined lotus pattern, lotus holder eight treasure pattern, etc., but there is no human figure pattern. The character "天" written on the bottom of the jar is characterized by the fact that it has no columns or frames.

As for the private collection, there are only two pieces in total. One was auctioned at Sotheby's in London in 2000. It is a Hua Doucai "shaved head" sky-shaped jar. The rim has been severely damaged and has been smoothed away, and there is no lid. It is exactly This remnant was sold at a reserve price of tens of thousands to tens of millions of yuan within just seven minutes of bidding, which is unprecedented. The other piece was fortunate enough to be collected by Mr. Madu.

The Chenghua Doucai Tianzi jar is not only valuable in later generations, but also particularly precious in history. There is a written record during the Qianlong period: On June 19, the ninth year of Qianlong's reign, a kiln-made Tianzi jar with missing glaze was sent from the Yangxin Hall Manufacturing Office, and a decree was issued: "Give me a jar with a Tianzi lid that is missing glaze. Give it to Tang Ying to repair the glaze. If it can be repaired, send it over. If it cannot be repaired, please send it here."

Tang Ying was very nervous after seeing the imperial edict. He took the jar back to Jingdezhen and wondered how to fix the glaze. After a few months, he made three new pairs and brought them back to the emperor along with the original jars.

He wrote the following memorial: "My slave Fucha sent me a Tianzi covered jar, which belongs to the completed kiln. It has been a long time and the fire has subsided. If I want to repair the missing glaze, I must put it into the furnace and refire it. I am afraid that the furnace fire will attack. The texture of the old kiln was not suitable, so I did not dare to replenish the glaze. I took it to the kiln factory and made three pairs of it in the style and size of the original jars. I respectfully folded them and sent them to Beijing. I also sent the original jars with them to pray to the emperor. Please be kind to your Majesty." After reading Tang Ying's memorial, Qianlong wrote: "Read."

This is why Mr. Sun left behind the ballad of Tianzi identification, because there were too many imitations of this thing during the Yongzheng, Kangxi, and Qianlong dynasties.

"Uncle Master, since you have so many pieces at home, show me!" Chen Yang changed the subject, smiled and stretched out his hand to signal Song Qingyun.

Song Qingyun turned his head and continued to look at the Tianzi jar. He was still saying, who owns this thing? If it weren't for the second uncle's prodigality, he would have missed two items, but ended up handing them over. "Chen Yang, let me tell you, we agreed that whoever finds the good items will belong to them, and this Tianzi jar belongs to me!"

you want? Tsk, I still want it! If the second uncle is prodigal, you go to the second uncle and ask for something from a junior like me. Are you embarrassed?

"Uncle, why are you two so related..."

"Stop talking nonsense!" Song Qingyun turned around and didn't look at Chen Yang at all, "I didn't ask for anything at the fortress last time. You have enough good things in your hand. If you give me one, I'll treat it as yours." Honor me!"

Chen Yang twitched the corner of his mouth, this old guy is acting like a child!

"Uncle Master, I want to ask you why Master donated the Tianzi jar in the first place. Just donate one piece, but you have to keep one piece in your hand!" Chen Yang started chatting with Song Qingyun. Anyway, I haven't found anything good in my hand yet. Let's talk to Song Qingyun first. Maybe he will hand the jar to his hand after a while. When it is in his hand, it will be his!

"It's better to improve your ideological consciousness!" Song Qingyun muttered, "If it were now, he wouldn't donate anything!"

The two chatted without a word. Song Qingyun turned around, but did not put down the jar in his hand. Chen Yang took the last scroll, which was wrapped in blue cloth with white flowers. Unwrapping the cloth that wrapped the scroll, there was a yellow-looking scroll inside. Judging from the appearance, it was not well preserved, and there were even water stains in many places.

After Chen Yang opened the scroll, he couldn't help being stunned and frowned slightly, "Uncle Master..."

"Stop talking nonsense," Song Qingyun didn't even raise his head, "When did you become so stingy? I'll just wait until my uncle finds something good to compensate you with two things!"

"No, uncle..."

"I'm telling you, I won't let go of this Tianzi Jar today. I'll hold it in my arms when I sleep. Let's see what you can do!"

"Uncle Master, I didn't say Tian Zi Jar!" Chen Yang stared at the scroll in his hand, "Come over and see if the characters in this painting are..."

At this time, Song Qingyun raised his head to look at Chen Yang, and found that Chen Yang had a solemn look on his face. He looked down at the scroll in front of him, "Is it something?"

"Is she Princess Chunhui?"

"What the hell?" After hearing this, Song Qingyun carefully put the Tianzi jar aside, then moved to Chen Yang's side and looked at it carefully.

This is an oil painting portrait of a lady. The picture is in color on silk. It is 198 cm long and 123 cm wide. There is neither the author's seal nor the collection seal of the Qing Dynasty on the painting. There is only vertical ink writing on the right side of the character's head. The line in the book is "Princess Chunhui, Imperial Concubine". From the content of the painting, it is easy to see that the author is well versed in anatomical structures. The face of the character has slight light and dark, and the facial features are very clear. The nose, nose wings and cheeks are rendered with colors to show a three-dimensional effect. The structure of muscles and skin is very accurately depicted; the throne and carpet in the painting have a front-to-back perspective effect and are very accurately depicted.

In the painting, Concubine Chunhui has a ruddy complexion and a dignified face. The side light is deliberately weakened, and the facial features of the character are drawn using the Western focus perspective method, which dilutes the contrast between light and dark. The clear three-dimensional facial features of Concubine Chunhui are shown only with color blooming. The mastery of his technique is astonishing.

Song Qingyun looked at the painting in front of him carefully, and then touched it lightly with his hand, "The royal family used Juan in the Qing Dynasty. The painting blended the essence of Chinese and Western art, created a unique anti-halation method, and used Western oil paints with thick colors. , the background is also painted with color, leaving no blank space. This style of painting is very consistent with the foreign painters used by Emperor Qianlong..."

"Castini!"

After Song Qingyun listened, he glanced at Chen Yang and nodded, "Yes, this should be a portrait of Emperor Chunhui in court dress painted by Lang Shining!"

"First there was the Tianzi jar, and now there is a portrait of Emperor Chunhui in court dress painted by Lang Shining." Song Qingyun opened his eyes wide and slammed his fist on the kang, "There is something in this Niutoushan!"

Chen Yang hugged his shoulders and smiled slightly, saying that there was more than that, there was also the Sanqiu cup in his hand before, and Xiaohuai had just given him a colorful grape pattern cup. It seemed that he really wanted to visit the temple on Niutou Mountain. went.

"What is this?" Song Qingyun heard that there was also a colorful grape-patterned cup, "Hurry up and show it to me. Why are you hiding this good thing?"

"Okay, you wait!" As he spoke, Chen Yang put away the painting first, then turned around to grab the grape pattern cup. As soon as he got off the kang, Chen Yang turned around and grabbed the Tianzi jar in his hand. inside.

"Uncle, haha!" Chen Yang shook the Tianzi jar in his hand and looked at Song Qingyun with a smile.

Song Qingyun slapped his forehead fiercely, he was careless! Let this kid get it!

"Chen Yang, you see you already have a grape-patterned cup, and this painting by Castiglione." Song Qingyun turned around and looked at Chen Yang with a smile, "please give the jar to my uncle. I promise, if he finds it again, I promise not to give up any other good stuff!”

"No," Chen Yang smiled and shook his head. Between Lang Shining's paintings and the Tianzi jar, anyone would have to choose the Tianzi jar!

"Uncle, I will give you Lang Shining's painting, and this jar belongs to me!" Chen Yang said with a smile, holding the jar, "Lang Shining's painting was wasted in my hands, and I can't understand it. Can you understand?" , let’s give it to you!”

Song Qingyun blinked his eyes a few times and smiled softly, "Hehe, boy, you have a shortcoming. I thought you knew everything!"

"How about this, Uncle Master, tell you about Castiglione! Help you make up this lesson?"

Chen Yang looked at Song Qingyun's evil smile. The old guy took the Tianzi Jar into his hands while he was talking. So Chen Yang smiled and shook his head, "I won't learn!"

With the Tianzi jar in hand, who would imitate Lang Shining!
