One is that time is short.

Emperor Chai Rong passed away only five and a half years after his death. Only a few months after his death, Emperor Chai Rong's general and brother Zhao Kuangyin launched the Chenqiao Mutiny, kicked out the orphans and widows of the Later Zhou Dynasty, and established the Great In the Song Dynasty, after Zhao Kuangyin came to power, firewood kilns stopped burning soon.

The firewood kiln burns for about 4 years before and after full power, and the output will not be too high.

The second is the theory of fragility.

At that time, firewood kilns were mainly used for firing military supplies, requiring light weight, practicality, and portability, and they did not necessarily have signatures.

Light weight is bound to be thin and fragile.Coupled with the turbulence of the march and the smoke and fire of war, it is reasonable to have a lot of damage.If it is really rare to sign a firewood kiln, future generations may not necessarily recognize it even if they occasionally get a firewood kiln. If they do not recognize it, they will not cherish it, and if they do not cherish it, it may be damaged.

So it led to the firewood kiln, which broke down again and again.

The third is the theory of intentional damage.

It mainly talks about how narrow-minded Zhao Kuangyin was, organized, premeditated, and planned to destroy the Chai family kiln, which enjoyed infinite glory, in order to reorganize and lay the cultural foundation of the Song Dynasty. Masters and craftsmen all concentrated on burning Ru kilns and so on.

There are many other theories. In short, for thousands of years, firewood kilns have been extremely precious and rare.

Even Wen Zhenheng, a calligrapher and painter in the late Ming Dynasty and great-grandson of Wen Zhengming, lamented in "Chang Wu Zhi" that "kilns, firewood kilns are the most expensive, and they are rare in the world."

Chai Kiln is the most famous Chinese porcelain of all dynasties in China. With its clear and elegant glaze color, exquisite and delicate craftsmanship, graceful and elegant shape, and unparalleled value, it is unique in my Chinese porcelain forest for more than 5000 years.

In the red envelope space, this is a very delicate and beautiful lotus porcelain bowl.

Put it on the palm of your hand, the bottom surface is exactly the same size as it, and match each other.

About ten centimeters high, shaped like a blooming lotus.

The whole shape looks very graceful, harmonious, well-proportioned, luxurious, elegant, elegant, and charming, just like a plump and beautiful lady standing quietly in front of you after taking a bath.

There is a touch of green glaze at the bottom corner of the lotus bowl. Due to the crystallization and fine cracking in the glaze, or other coloring elements in the glaze, it forms colorful reflections, just like a rainbow after rain!

This is very consistent with the statement in "Nan Kiln Notes" that "the fire glass, agate, and various gold and stones in the Wude treasure house were sintered in one place, and the glaze was made by order."

The glaze layer in other places is very uniform, as uniform and thin as paper, the glaze is light green, and the glaze surface is crystal clear like a mirror.

Looking closely at the lotus bowl, there are fine grains and small openings, the grains are regular, and the ice cracks winding deep in the porcelain body seem to be broken and not broken, looming.

There is tire-protecting oil under the glaze, and a lot of loess like egg yolk sticks to the edge of the tire-protecting oil.There is also loess like egg yolk sticking to the bottom of the lotus bowl.

Gently stroking the extremely beautiful lotus bowl, the glaze is moist and delicate, exquisite and translucent.The carcass is thick, but it can transmit light, and the soil is very delicate. The shape is carved and polished from the whole piece of carcass with a knife, so as to avoid stress deformation caused by manual drawing, so the shape of the vessel is correct, and there is no damage caused by drawing. Shape change defects after leaving the kiln.

Zhou Rui's eyes shone brightly.

Almost didn't roll over.

There are many antique buildings in it.

There are also many traditional Chinese crafts and arts.

If you want to appreciate the real Chinese style, you can come here.

Neptune City was invested and constructed by Neptune City.

It can be said that the benefits are in the present, and the merits are in the future.

Of course, this benefit is in the present, and the merits are in the future. It is only in Haiwang City, and it is not as influential as the Grand Canal.

Neptune City is the citizens of Neptune City, and it does not know how many employment opportunities it has provided.

I don't know how many people get rich.

At the same time, I don't know how many crews will be allowed, so I don't have to run around.

In Haiwang City, there are many places of interest left over, and it is a city with the richest cultural heritage in Donghai Province.

Spring and Autumn Period - The tomb site of King Chengwu is here. In addition, many cultural relics and antiques have been unearthed in Haiwang City.

Neptune City is a cultural city.

The cultural background is very thick.

So the main economy here is also tourism and service industry.

In addition, there are many crafts.

For example, wood carving, such as porcelain.

Certainly not an antique.

but modern.

There are also many bamboo products and so on.

Full of art style.

The whole city is quaint.

Most of them maintain the appearance of ancient buildings.

Traveling here can not only see the beautiful scenery, but also appreciate the footprints and wisdom of immortals.

So it is quite normal to get antique red envelopes from this city.

The third red envelope is also an antique red envelope that belongs to the ordinary red envelope.

In the red envelope, Zhou Rui got a piece of ivory carving from the Qing Dynasty—the Nine Dragons Seizing Pearl Ivory Carving.

Ivory carving refers to a series of carvings on ivory. It is an ancient traditional art and a folk arts and crafts.

Ivory carving art, with its solid and fine texture, soft and smooth color, and exquisite carving art, is highly cherished by collectors and has become one of the unique varieties of antiques.

The tusk is the strongest part of the elephant's body. It is as bright and clean as jade, durable and precious, comparable to gems and jades. Therefore, ivory has the reputation of organic gemstones.

Ivory is different from normal teeth.Its surface is not covered with enamel.Very afraid of acid.Strong acids can corrode it, and weak acids can soften it.If the ivory is soaked in acetic acid, it can be softened, and then it can be carved with a knife or other tools, which can often achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Ivory is very valuable and the price is very high.

Therefore, many hunters, for the sake of profit, carried out horrific slaughter of elephants.

To protect elephants from being killed, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora severely restricts the trade in ivory.

However, because of its potential value, there are still many poachers who snipe elephants.

Then cut the ivory directly.

very cruel.

However, the ivory in Zhou Rui's hand was from the Qing Dynasty.

At that time, ivory, although precious, was not banned!

ps: Thanks to the two friends "Sing Triumph sss" and "Li Feimo" for their support, thank you both, thank you!

Chapter 477 Huge Ivory Ming Chengzu - Dagon Dragon Robe

Ivory carving art is mainly divided into four categories: figures, animals, flowers and landscapes.

The ivory carving in Zhou Rui's hand belongs to the four types of animals.

The dragon seizes the pearl, and the scales and claws are ferocious.

Among them, the themes of ivory figures are mainly derived from ancient myths and legends and historical celebrities.

For example, ladies, Arhats, Buddhists, Eight Immortals, Fu Lu Shou, military generals and historical celebrities, etc.

Character sketches generally use line drawing to show the facial expressions, body postures, and clothing shapes of the characters. If there is a source, the identity characteristics of the characters should be emphasized in order to achieve a perfect artistic effect.

Ivory carvings are generally dominated by flowers, with birds, butterflies, dragonflies, frogs, etc. as foils. The carvings include peony, rose, chrysanthemum, magnolia, peach, pine, bamboo, plum, etc. Bamboo tubes, folding fans, rockeries, etc., play a good role in matching the protagonist and the foil.

The animal themes of ivory carvings mainly include tigers roaring in the forest, lions roaring in deep valleys, roosters announcing the dawn, fish leaping into lotus ponds, etc. Among them, the twelve zodiac animals occupy a certain position in the art of ivory carvings.The landscape themes in ivory carvings generally represent mountains and rivers, islands, and the sun and moon.The jagged rocks, mottled sea rocks, and rolling clouds are the favorite images of ivory carving artists.

Among the many arts and crafts in our country, ivory carving is one with unique elegance.

It is also a treasure that is loved by princes and nobles.

In ancient times, people who could have a whole ivory to decorate a room were all princes and nobles.

Ivory belongs to organic matter, the surface is smooth and clear like jade, the texture is fine and regular, and it is easy to be knifed.

The original ivory product was just a practical tool, and as time went by, decorative items gradually appeared and became the mainstream of ivory carving craftsmanship.

As early as the Shang and Zhou dynasties, my country's ivory carving technology was extremely developed. After the Han, Tang, Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties, the ivory carving technology became more exquisite.

The Qing Dynasty was the heyday of ivory carving. Like bamboo, wood, horn, stone and other small carvings, ivory carving became a rare display on several cases.

Before the Qing Dynasty, ivory carving inherited the tradition of the Ming Dynasty, and it has developed in terms of production technology and artistic creation.

After the mid-term, the artistic creation of ivory sculpture has become cumbersome and decorative.At that time, ivory carvings were divided into two categories: court handicrafts and folk handicrafts. The palace makers were exquisitely crafted, and the figures, flowers and birds were decorated with imitations of paintings, and there were certain rules for coloring and filling.

Even so, there is no absolute difference between the two, and many court toothsmiths were recruited directly from the people.Ivory carving in the Qing Dynasty has basically formed two major art schools in Jiangnan and Guangdong.Due to the preference of literati and elegant scholars, fresh and elegant works appeared. In order to obtain good works, a large number of literati painters not only designed the composition, but also directly participated in the carving, making new changes in the style of ivory carving.

In general, ivory carving developed to the Qing Dynasty, and it has gradually developed into the trend of "small carving", and large ivory carvings are no longer common.Of course, the study utensils have become the main part of the ivory carving process.Mainly for literary toys and decorations, pen holders, pen holders, inkstones, ink cartridges, ink washes, paperweights, as well as some stationery boxes, printing boxes, painting holders, etc. are relatively common. These small ivory pieces are mostly literati stories, flower and bird patterns, and auspicious themes. For decoration, it has a strong literati atmosphere.Ivory carving has become a desk game for literati, doctors and officials.

In the Qing Dynasty, the practical items of ivory carving were not the main part of the ivory carving process, but they were by no means not produced at all, but also produced by accident, only serving a few nobles, and the varieties were only small pieces such as chopsticks and fans.Others include lamps, crown holders, shoehorns, snuff bottles and the like.

On the ivory in Zhou Rui's hand, nine lifelike dragons were carved in relief.

The nine dragons are very vivid.

Dragon scales, dragon whiskers, and longan eyes are extremely realistic.

In the center, there is also a fireball like the sun.

Like dragon balls, nine dragons are chasing together.

If you touch it carefully, the dragon scales will give people a very smooth and tender feeling.

No roughness of any kind.

This is the result of extreme polishing.

The Nine Dragons Seizing Pearl Ivory in Zhou Rui's hand was carved out of a huge ivory.

This tusk is about forty centimeters long.

Very big.

The diameter of the thickest section reached ten centimeters.

It can be called a giant.

More importantly, this ivory is quite complete.

This ivory has to be taken out, not to mention other things, just this material, definitely not less than 100 million.

If historical value and artistic value are added, then the value will be even higher.

Zhou Rui also has ivory carvings in his hands, such as the previous "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea" ivory carvings.
