Treasure Hunt America

After putting away the three-color appliqué double-dragon ear bottle, Jin Muchen continued to move forward, and soon saw a azure-colored porcelain bowl with a simple and elegant shape. Lewen Fiction|

There are many seemingly cracks on the bowl, and the mouth of the bowl is also open, but Jin Muchen knows that these cracks are not actually caused by the rupture of the porcelain bowl, but the natural kiln deformation that occurs during the firing and glazing.

And this bowl is not called a bowl. Its scientific name should be called Celadon Wheel Flower Bowl, which is the work of the official kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Such azure-colored Song Porcelain is also very precious. Even if there are several marks of opening at the mouth of this bowl, it does not affect the overall price of this bowl.

You must know that such azure-colored Song Dynasty porcelain is also produced by the official kilns of the five famous kilns in the Song Dynasty. Even in the world, there are not many surviving porcelains. It turned out that there are only dozens of pieces in the British Museum.

In mainland China, there are none of them, so this bowl can definitely be said to be the pride of the Japanese.

If such a bowl goes to the Chinese collection market, it will definitely fetch a sky-high price, even if it is the precious porcelain of the Ming and Qing dynasties, unless it is the top-level royal treasures, or even It is ordinary porcelain in the imperial collection of the palace, so I am afraid that it is not enough to see in front of this bowl.

This bowl is also one of the exhibits donated by Yokogawa Minsuke to the Tokyo National Museum. You must know that the Japanese like it very much, and the ceramic utensils of the Song and Tang dynasties are very popular.

At the beginning of the last century, when they went to China to loot, because Britain and France in Europe and the United States had already looted many times in China at that time, they didn't get anything too good.

Especially the porcelain of the five famous kilns in the Song Dynasty, which they were very obsessed with, were basically searched by Britain and France at that time, so they could not find a few pieces.

And this time Yokogawa Minsuke actually came from China. I got a piece of official kiln celadon porcelain from the Song Dynasty. Is it worth it?

So at that time, this porcelain bowl was unveiled in Japan. It caused a sensation, not only those dignitaries at that time. Everyone wanted to come and see the true face of this bowl, and even the Emperor of Heaven also sent people over many times to buy this porcelain bowl at a high price, but in the end, Minsuke Yokogawa didn't let go.

It was not until after the end of World War II that the Tokyo National Museum was 'real' nationalized, that Yokogawa Minsuke donated the bowl to the Tokyo National Museum before he died.

As for the Tokyo National Museum, although it is nominally nationalized. But in fact, it still maintains inextricable ties with the Heavenly Royal Family and with several top-level gatekeepers in Japan. Because the Heavenly Royal Family has several resentments for this bowl, it has never dared to buy it. The only bowl is considered a national treasure of Japan.

Therefore, in this porcelain exhibition hall, this bowl can definitely be regarded as the existence of an uncrowned king. Although it is not a national treasure, it is in terms of artistic achievements and archaeological value. They can definitely be regarded as national treasure-level exhibits.

Therefore, the protection measures of this bowl are also quite strict. can be seen.

And this bowl, of course, is the treasure that Yokogawa Minsuke personally got back from China.

In other words, it was 1918. At that time, China's Hebei Province suffered a drought that was rarely seen in a century.

At that time, the ordinary people in Julu, Hebei, who were suffering from drought, began to dig wells in the farmland to find water in order to find water, and the digging went hundreds of meters underground. As a result, they really found a source of water buried deep in the ground.

But at the same time they discovered the underground water source, they also discovered the ruins of the ancient city of Julu in the Song Dynasty buried underground.

this discovery. It can be said to be a sensation, the ancient city of Julu in the Song Dynasty!

To know this ancient city. But it has been there since the Qin Dynasty. It was in this place that Xiang Yu fought against the backwater and defeated the powerful Qin Great Wall Corps, and finally destroyed the Qin Dynasty.

And this ancient city later went through the great Han Dynasty and Tang Dynasty, and in these two dynasties, it was once a famous city with a glorious history and recorded in the history books.

It was not until the Song Dynasty when the entire ancient city was submerged in water due to a major flood, and was abandoned by people. Then, next to the ancient Julu City in the Song Dynasty, another new Julu City was built. After that, the old Julu City became history.

In addition, later, the Chinese have not been able to form any real concept of cultural relics protection and search for historical monuments, so this ancient city has been buried underground until nearly a thousand years later. The poor people found it unexpectedly when they were looking for water.

At that time, after the ruins of this ancient city were discovered, many archaeologists and experts were immediately attracted to excavate here.

Soon a large number of exquisite Song Dynasty porcelains were dug from the ground. When the news spread, collectors from all over the world heard the news, and the Japanese who learned the news were even more ecstatic. The climate has become a reality, especially for some rich people who have already made their fortunes in the early days. At this time, when their pockets are in full swing, they have always wanted to buy some porcelain from the Song Dynasty in China, but they have never been able to do so. Well, this time in Hebei, China, the ancient city of the Song Dynasty was discovered, and a lot of exquisite Song Dynasty porcelain was unearthed. Is this still amazing?

At that time, collectors from all over Europe and the United States, as well as collectors from Japan, flocked to it, and they started to snap up big money here.

At this time, this Yokogawa Minsuke was already a rich man with a very large pockets, so in this rush to buy, he was out of the limelight and spent a lot of money to acquire a lot of porcelain from the Song Dynasty. The excellent Song Dynasty porcelain was almost all bought by him during this snap-up.

Among them, the celadon flower bowl produced by the official kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty was the most proud collection of Yokogawa Minsuke. Since he was brought back to Japan, he has always treasured it.

If it's not his closest friend, then no one can easily take a look at this porcelain, not even family members.

But in the end, I don't know what the old man was thinking. Before he died, he finally donated this porcelain to the Tokyo National Museum.

I'm afraid he'll figure it out in the end. When he was alive, he had a great reputation in Japan and could hold back those ambitious people who coveted their collections.

But if he died, the precious Chinese porcelain he collected would no longer be the wealth he left to his descendants, but a bomb.

Those of his descendants did not have the ability to intimidate Xiao Xiao, and they didn't even give the emperor's face.

I'm afraid that as soon as he died here, those hungry wolves would come to his door, ask his descendants to ask for it, or forcibly buy those porcelain.

And his children and grandchildren may have a bad response, and they will be raided and wiped out.

So he might as well donate these treasures when he has the breath. As long as these things enter the museum, then those other people will be embarrassed to know that his family has come to forcibly ask for these treasures.

This old man's abacus is really good. After he donated these treasures and died, no one came to his house again and asked for these treasures.

In this way, he only donated a thousand pieces of porcelain, but the rest of the porcelain was returned to his family's descendants safe and sound.

As for the remaining ones, what kind of treasures are, after all, no one knows.

Jin Muchen also spent a long time trying to get this piece of porcelain into his pocket.

Because this celadon flower bowl is not considered a national treasure by the Japanese, but it can definitely be regarded as the uncrowned king in this porcelain exhibition hall. How precious it is, how can people in the Tokyo National Museum not know.

This is the only piece of celadon from an official kiln in the Song Dynasty in their exhibition hall, and it is precisely because of this piece of celadon that they are as famous as the British Museum, becoming the only two collections in the world that have an official kiln in the Song Dynasty. Museum of Porcelain.

You must know that such Song Dynasty official kiln celadon, even in China, no museum can have it.

Even in the United States, which has more collections of ancient Chinese antiques, they don't have a museum that collects celadon from official kilns in the Song Dynasty in China.

Therefore, this celadon from the official kiln of the Song Dynasty can definitely be said to be the pride of the Tokyo National Museum. Of course, in terms of safety protection, they have also done a good job.

They are very careful about this uncrowned king~www.wuxiaspot.com~. They made two layers of bulletproof glass cover, and also made some arrangements under the booth, laying several layers of very soft anti-collision sponge.

Mainly because of the frequent earthquakes in Japan, they were afraid that an earthquake would affect Tokyo, so the bowl was shaken off the display stand and broke.

Moreover, they also deliberately wrapped the bowl with special materials, and on the periphery of the edging, it was tied with dense titanium alloy metal wires, which was obviously an anti-theft measure.

If it were other thieves, facing the security protection of the inner three layers and the outer three layers, I am afraid they would really feel like a mouse pulling a turtle, and they would not be able to start, but for Jin Muchen, these are a piece of cake.

The two hammers went down, and the glass cover that could resist bullets shattered to the ground. Fortunately, when he smashed the glass, he also paid attention to the direction, so that the splashing glass **** did not damage the bowl.

Then the titanium alloy metal wires are even simpler. They are served directly with special vise pliers. Most people do not have the strength to cut these wires, but for Jin Muchen, it is not a problem at all. , these wires broke off on the spot. . . (To be continued.)
