Chapter 818 Blue and White Appraisal ([-])

"The Ruyi tadpole clouds in the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, the cloud heads became larger, and the tails became thicker and shorter. The Ruyi clouds in the Hongwu official kiln were arranged in the shape of a character. The later the age, the shorter and thicker the tail of the clouds, and the more big."

Xu Qingru took the wishful tadpole cloud in the cloud pattern as an example, explained it in detail, and lowered his voice with clarity.

Gu Yunzhi went on to add: "The cloud pattern of the word Ren began to appear in the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, and was most popular during the Wanli period of Jiajing. So when you see the cloud pattern of the word Ren on a piece of porcelain, then this porcelain is definitely not It may be an object before Ming Xuande."

With Gu Yunzhi's supplement, the lowliness is clear again.

The few sitting in the front row were deeply satisfied with the two masters, but also disappointed with the juniors.

This year's class of apprentices is really too difficult to lead. I think back then, when the North and South Schools were prosperous, they would pick up any one who knew these basic knowledge like the back of their hands.

After Gu Yunzhi finished explaining, he handed over the right to speak to Xu Qingru, and Xu Qingru continued: "The third way to identify the age of porcelain is to look at the glaze. Roughly since the Warring States period, our ancestors began to hang glaze on pottery, but The glazes used in different periods are different. Before the Tang Dynasty, lime glaze was mostly used. In the Tang Dynasty, raw materials such as jade powder and agate powder were added. If you touch porcelain of different years in your hands, you will feel their texture. different."

When it comes to feel, it really depends on experience.Xu Qingru thought about it for a while, and decided to explain further: "For example, firewood wares from the Five Dynasties feel as firm as steel, while Minru wares from the Song Dynasty feel like jade, like paraffin wax."

After she explained it like this, there were no younger generations who didn’t have deep knowledge to intervene, so she continued: “The fourth is to look at the quality of the fetus. The purpose of examining the quality of the fetus is to determine the origin of the raw materials. Some porcelains with unique styles, we call them ages. It is possible to quickly judge their age through their fetal quality characteristics. For example, the fetal quality of the early Yuan Dynasty was loose, the fetal quality of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty was hard, and the fetal quality of the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty was dense. In addition, organs and civil organs The fetal quality, the difference is extremely obvious.”

"How obvious?"

I don't know which younger generation doesn't understand, so I asked.

This task fell on Gu Yunzhi again.

Gu Yunzhi said: "All official organs and imperial products will be mixed with jade powder, agate powder, gemstones and other elements in the raw materials according to the royal requirements, so the difference between official organs and civilian objects is very large."

He silently looked at the young man who asked the question, and smiled: "Next time you feel the two utensils, you will know how different they are."

The young man was so frightened that he silently retracted his head.

The elders sighed silently. It's not that these young people don't work hard, but some of them only like talking on paper and haven't practiced it themselves. How can it be possible to truly have the insight to learn from the past?
Thinking of this, they all looked at Gu Yunzhi and Xu Qingru in unison.

Gu Yunzhi was born in the Jiangu family, and it was the famous Gu family of the Northern School. Gu Yuming raised him as the heir to the head of the Northern School since he was a child. Naturally, he has learned countless ancient times and has rich experience. But what happened to Xu Qingru?

According to their understanding, the environment in which Xu Qingru grew up did not allow her to train again. Even if Xu Hueping had trained her, she would not have come into contact with many antiques. It is more likely that she would get so many genuine and fake ones for her to practice, right?
