Chapter 659

Chengdu is the "leisure city", and the land of abundance is a fascinating place with countless beautiful scenery. Worried about CAI Xiaoying's altitude reaction, places like Jiuzhaigou and Huanglong, which are high above sea level, can't go. They only go to famous scenic spots such as Mt. Emei, giant panda base, Qingcheng Mountain and Dujiangyan, and then return to Chengdu for a rest day to fly to Hainan.

Now that you're here, you can't miss the songxianqiao antique art city. When he got into a taxi, Cao Qiushui asked the driver, "master, since it's called" Songxian bridge ", which immortal is it?" The driver said, "it's said that a tourist saw a bachelor walking on the Daodi River Bridge in the morning. When he looked at it carefully, he exclaimed," this is the eight cave golden immortal in the sky. LV Dongbin came to watch the lanterns and enjoy the flowers. "From then on, the people who met the immortal bridge and sent the immortal bridge spread

In fact, this is a kind of saying. Another version is that every March 3, all the immortals come here to catch up with the people in temple fairs. Some people see he Xiangu smiling and scattering colorful flowers at Yingxian bridge. Some people meet Zhang Guolao and LV Dongbin riding donkeys at Yuxian bridge and watch Shu embroidery bamboo weaving by Shu people. When the time came, the immortals stood at the end of the immortal bridge, threw thousands of treasures into the river under the bridge, and then left one after another.

Chatting with the driver about the local customs and customs, I soon went to the antique market. The antique shops and open-air stalls in the songxianqiao market are like a "labyrinth". Most antique shops have elegant names: yangwentang, caitaoju, jinmiaoge, mingjingxuan, jinshilingyu, etc. There are a wide range of antiques in the shop, including bronze Buddha statues, crystal stones, Jade Jadeite, pearl agate, porcelain, miscellaneous pieces and so on.

Most of the antique markets in the world are so dazzling. What's more dazzling is that it's hard for one of the ten antiques to be genuine. Of course, there are more people looking at them than buying them. Therefore, managing antiques has become a business worthy of the name of "not open for three years, open for three years".

After a while, Guan Shanyue found a phenomenon that the stall owners had all kinds of accents, including Zhejiang, Guangdong, Henan, Shandong, Shaanxi and so on. These stall owners are not like those in the north. They are enthusiastic and often shout out to introduce their "cultural relics".

This is not, came to a porcelain stall, stall owners see them like rich people, with a Shaanxi dialect shouting: "handsome, beautiful, look at my porcelain, Tang, song, yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, there are blue and white porcelain, pastel, white porcelain and so on, want to buy what have what."

Oh, the tone is not small! Guan Shanyue was fond of porcelain and couldn't help looking at it more. The stall owner took the opportunity to pick up a pastel vase and sold it: "you see, this is Kangxi pastel. Look at the sole of the foot, and you can see the" Qing Dynasty Kangxi year system "of the official kiln!"

Guan Shanyue couldn't help laughing. The famille rose from the late Yongzheng period to the Qianlong period. This variety didn't appear in the Kangxi Dynasty. Moreover, the vase was also a kind of utensil that only appeared in the Yongzheng period. This is purely a "fabricated product". Pastel and blue and white are popular in the market. They are all fake. How can there be pastel in this kind of booth? I'm afraid the stall owner doesn't know the goods. But you have to know something about the history of porcelain. You can't make it up. It's not funny.

After listening to his words, Guan Shanyue lost interest and was just about to leave when she saw Cai Xiaoying squatting down and looking over her head. Guan Shanyue is curious. This person who doesn't know antiques is very active. Along with her eyes, it's really a rare thing - heart spinning bottle!

As the name suggests, a revolving bottle is a bottle that can be rotated, that is, in one bottle, another bottle is set, and both the outer bottle and the inner bottle have pictures. The outer bottle is generally hollowed out, and different pictures can be seen through the rotation of the outer bottle and the inner bottle, just like a lantern. This kind of ware is purely for the emperor to enjoy and has no practical value, so it is rare in the market. Guan Shanyue has never seen the real object, only in the book.

Just because it's not common, Guan Shanyue takes it seriously. When she looks at it, she feels a little surprised. Is it fun? He asked Cai Xiaoying, "what are you looking at?" Cai Xiaoying said: "look, this porcelain is really fun. The bottle is covered with bottles. The one inside is more beautiful. There are many children painted on it."

Cao Qiushui said with a smile: "sister Xiaoying is interested in things related to babies now." Cai Xiaoying smiles and stands up. Guan Shanyue said: "since you like it, buy it." Cai Xiaoying said, "it's so big that I can't take it away even if I buy it."

Cao Qiushui thought that Guan Shanyue would not say anything casually, so he asked, "boss, what is this porcelain?" The stall owner said casually, "this is a pink revolving bottle. It's very expensive." layman! Guan Shanyue immediately asked, "is that right? How much is it The boss said, "you have a look first. You're interested in our talk."

It can be described as a global "high-tech" product in the 18th century. It is very difficult to make it. We should not only master the drying rate of the outer bottle and the inner bottle correctly, but also master the shrinkage rate after firing. If there is any mistake, all previous achievements will be wasted. Therefore, we need superb technology in the production.

In the view of historians, Qianlong's "heart turning bottle" can be listed as one of the criminal evidences of the demise of the dynasty, such as song Huizong's "stone appreciation" and Empress Dowager Cixi's "Summer Palace". The consumption of a country's power is only for personal interests. Such "things" are really heinous.

Guan Shanyue didn't dare to move. The heart turning bottle was made of several parts. If it was a pit, it would be very big. He squatted down and looked at it carefully, and said: "strange, can the bottle really turn?" The stall owner said, "of course! I'm the only one with scorpion Baba. You can't find another in the whole antique market. You are predestined relationship with it. I just dug out the old house yesterday. "Guan Shanyue was more and more frightened. The bottle is about 30cm in height and 20cm in diameter. It has a short and thick neck, with elephant ears on both sides of the neck. It has a shoulder hanging, belly bulging and feet looping. The bottle is lined with a small bottle with a straight belly, which is connected with the neck of the outer bottle. The white glaze is decorated with pastel on the ground.

Here's the point: the neck and shoulder have 12 openings, with the top and bottom opposite. In the neck Kaiguang, there are regular script "Wannian", "Jiazi" and seal tiangan names; in the shoulder Kaiguang, there are seal dizhi names. When turning the bottleneck, these two parts together form an activity calendar - it is not only for the emperor to play, but also a practical treasure!

Then look at the entangled branch pattern on the belly of the bottle, and carve out four groups of four seasons garden view, open window, peach blossom in spring, lotus flower in summer, pomegranate flower in autumn and plum blossom in winter. Through the view window, you can see the picture of baby play on the bottle. It's what Cai Xiaoying said. There are many children on horseback, boxing, umbrella, drum and lantern. The scene is very lively.

Guan Shanyue felt that her palms were full of sweat. She was very nervous and asked, "can you turn it over? I want to see the bottom of it. " The man said, "don't look. It says" old man "below."
