"There are only three ways to collect cultural relics. The first is to buy them from players who have spread them in an orderly manner, the second is to buy them from nationally designated cultural relics stores, and the third is to buy them overseas."

"Here, there are many categories that are prohibited from circulation and trading, and prohibited from being exported overseas. Collection must be legal and compliant."

"So Master, even if this three-color Huren cup can be auctioned overseas for tens of millions of pounds, and the foreign exchange earned can build several academies, this road is a dead end and will not work."

"Don't go further, let's just say that last year in Hong Kong, Sotheby's also auctioned something, which was a Ming Dynasty horse figurine imitating Tang Sancai. It was finally sold for HK$7.48 million."

Although Zhou Zhi knew that the market for Tang Sancai was about to come to an end, it did not prevent him from deliberately stimulating a few old men with the price.

"That's it..." Gu Zhenduo couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. In a blink of an eye, he realized that he had fallen into Zhou Zhi's trap and said angrily: "These are the treasures of the country. Of course they cannot be auctioned! What are you thinking?!"

Although his appearance was stern, his inner feelings revealed a trace of shame and guilt.

"How about we all look at it separately." Zhou Zhi felt a little embarrassed: "It takes me so long to look at this one thing. I don't know how long it will take me to finish looking at the tens of thousands of things in the museum. My speed is different from everyone else's.

It’s too slow in comparison.”

"Then Shu Yi will accompany me to see the miscellaneous items." The godmother took Jiang Shuyi's arm and walked towards a row of exhibit windows.

"Who wants to see Tibetan cultural relics, I can explain them to you." Master Tenzin said.

Mr. Qiao and Fu Xia immediately raised their hands.

Zhou Zhi felt a little embarrassed and said to Director Yuan: "Teacher Yuan, why don't we go see the calligraphy and painting first?"

Teacher Yuan smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay, it's fun to listen to you talk about porcelain. Do whatever you want."

Since you are so considerate, you are welcome to browse in the ocean of porcelain.

The collection of ceramics in Shuda is quite good, ranging from the figurines playing the piano and conjoined figures of the Han Dynasty; to the three-color pottery pots and cups of the Tang Dynasty; the celadon pots of the Five Dynasties; the white glaze furnace of the Ding kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty; the celadon prints of the Yaozhou kiln of the Jin Dynasty with intertwined chrysanthemum patterns.

Bowl; Southern Song Dynasty white glaze black flower two-flower pattern jade pot spring vase; Jizhou kiln black glaze jade pot spring vase with folded branches and plum pattern; Longquan kiln pink celadon glaze phoenix ear plate mouth vase. Zhou Zhi basically picks up the utensils and can

Tell a lot of sermons.

Zhou Zhi became mute until he reached a small tall cup.

Seeing that Zhou Zhi finally fell silent, Director Jiang showed a narrow smile: "Elbow, go on, cut off this cup?"

"Well..." Zhou Zhi looked at the cup for a while, and then looked around the window: "Director Jiang, let me make a suggestion. Since it is a museum, it should focus on popularizing knowledge. There is not even an introduction label.

It’s not necessary.”

Director Jiang did not accept this trick, and said with a smile: "This used to be an area not open to the outside world, but now it is under preparation. If the artifacts here are sent outside for display, they will naturally have to be labeled. Everyone who comes here is

If you’re an expert, you shouldn’t need to read the label, right?”

Zhou Zhi felt itchy and unbearable: "Director Jiang, please stop teasing me and reveal the answer quickly. I really can't figure out this cup. It's full of weirdness. If I saw it on a street stall, I would probably treat it as a random imitation of a fake."

"

"Well, it's okay to know the answer, but you can't give it away for free."

"What's the meaning?"

"This is a comprehensive question, divided into steps." Director Jiang smiled and said: "First tell me your general inference, and I will see how many points you can get."

"That's it..." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "Then I'll tell you my opinion. If I'm wrong, feel free to criticize and correct me."

"Yeah." Director Jiang opened the display window: "You take it out and tell me."

You can still use it! Zhou Zhi couldn't help but be overjoyed. He took out the cup and looked through it carefully, feeling somewhat confident.

"Let's talk about the shape of the vessel first. This is a short cup, which is actually more similar to the small bowls of later generations. The clay is made of finely ground porcelain clay. It is a relatively white and delicate gray vessel. However, because the iron has not been removed, there is

I saw needle-like iron."

"The carcass is composed of three parts, the bottom foot, the small belly, and the large mouth. The carcass is thick and stable, and the firing temperature is about 1,100 degrees. It has the characteristics of the kiln mouth of the Liao Dynasty in the north, but the shape of the carcass is somewhat different.

"

"Because generally similar-shaped utensils usually have a closed mouth or an open mouth, but this small bowl has a slightly closed mouth. This type of vessel... actually has the feeling of a large cup from the Qing Dynasty."

"But the prototype of the large cup in the Qing Dynasty was a wooden wine bowl popular among the Baishan and Heishui tribes. Although this cup has that feeling, it is obviously much older."

"What's even more strange is that although this piece of porcelain has obvious characteristics of the northern kilns of the Northern Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom, it is actually a piece of celadon!"

"And this celadon has the characteristics of Yue kiln celadon from the Five Dynasties."

"But the patterns on Yue kiln celadon are mostly painted with dark flowers, and almost none of them are painted with celadon glaze like this cup. Moreover, the patterns on Yue kiln celadon are geometric rhombus lattice patterns, which is even more strange."

"Where is the conclusion?" Director Jiang almost died from laughter: "According to the idea of ​​​​the college entrance examination, even though you know that there is a high probability that it is wrong, you still have to give a conclusion. What if you are right?"

"The conclusion..." Zhou Zhi said with a bitter face: "I'm just telling you nonsense... During the Northern Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom, a celadon-glazed printed cup was fired at an unknown kiln in the north. Judging from the technology of this celadon glaze, it should be better than the previous ones.

Many known kiln mouths are far from the same. They are probably high imitations of Song porcelain from the Liao Dynasty - the body of the Ding kiln, the skin of the Yue kiln, plus the original patterns and shapes! Well, that's about it.

"

"Hahahaha..." Director Jiang laughed heartily: "You have the elbow! Do you want to come to our history department? It's not difficult to get a master's degree for someone like you!"

"No, no, no, I'm definitely not right. Director Jiang, please stop making fun of me." Zhou Zhi waved his hands repeatedly.

"Although I missed it, it's not too far off." Director Jiang said with a smile: "Don't forget, during the Northern Song Dynasty, there was not only the Liao Kingdom in the north, but also a place that admired the civilization of the Central Plains and was known as 'Little China'

!”

"Hi, Goryeo!" Zhou Zhi immediately understood: "This is Goryeo celadon!"

After speaking, he slapped his forehead in annoyance: "That's right! The grid painting method, with celadon glaze and white glaze mixed in between, is the original Goryeo celadon color matching method!"

Goryeo celadon is also a wonder in the history of world ceramics. Of course, it was originally a craft brought over by Chinese craftsmen. In the later stages of development, it was no less advanced than the Longquan kiln of the Han Dynasty, but it also had its own characteristics.

The biggest feature is the glaze color, which is more of a sapphire to jade color. The color is beautiful, bright, elegant and soft.

In particular, emerald-colored celadon is neither completely blue nor completely green. It is a unique color in the turquoise color system that is different from Chinese celadon. It is quite elegant and beautiful.

The second is the decorative pattern, which is very elegant and full of interest. It is very different from the rough and heavy style of the Liao Dynasty at the same latitude. There are many types of patterns, unique tones and color matching methods, and the pattern structure is dense and slender.

However, this second feature has not yet appeared on this cup. It is still the shape of the Northland cup, and it will take hundreds of years for it to be reflected.

So this is not only a Goryeo celadon printed cup, but also a Goryeo celadon printed cup from the original period. It also appeared in the hinterland of Sichuan, which is thousands of miles away from Goryeo. It is no wonder that Zhou Zhi was directly confused.
