Chapter 8 This Chicken Pot Is Not Another Chicken Pot

"Song Yun, your chicken pot is real!"

Tang Miaomiao watched for about 20 minutes, and when she got the result, she raised her head and just said a word, just in time to see the weird smile on Song Yun's face.

"Song Yun, what are you laughing at?"

Tang Miaomiao was a little confused as a monk.

"Miss Tang, your situation is a bit strange, isn't it a blind date?"

Song Yun didn't want to talk at the beginning, but he couldn't help the fire of gossip in his heart.

"What's up with you?"

"Do you still want to sell this thing? I won't accept it from my mother-in-law!"

Tang Miaomiao blushed, and glared at Song Yun fiercely.

Song Yun's neck shrank, and he didn't dare to speak any more. Making money was the most important thing. The gossip could be discussed later, but Tang Miaomiao couldn't be offended now.

"Miao Miao, what good things have you received?"

"Bring it here, let's take a look."

Song Yun couldn't help laughing this time. It was the old man who was talking, and he couldn't refuse.

Tang Miaomiao was helpless and had no choice but to go over.

Song Yun naturally followed immediately.

"Song Yun, let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Sikong Mingsi, an old senior in our collection world."

"This is Cai Dong."

Tang Miaomiao introduced it, and Song Yun immediately greeted him.

"Look at this cup!"

Sikong Ming glanced at the cup that Tang Miaomiao was holding in his hand, the occupational disease culprit immediately went over.

"Mr. Cai, do you want to take a look too?"

Song Yun looked at Cai Dong, there are three cups, if you want to see, give him one.

"OK!"

"I'll take a look too!"

Cai Dong nodded and stretched out his hand to take the cup that Song Yun handed over. He looked down and was shocked. The fiery red rooster was very eye-catching.

"Chicken cup?"

"Is this the legendary chicken pot cup?"

"A chicken pot cup worth nearly 300 million?!"

"Oh my god! There are three here. Isn't it worth nearly one billion?"

Cai Dong called out.

Tang Miaomiao is a beautiful woman. She was shocked when she met at a family gathering a year ago. I finally found an opportunity this evening. I asked Sikongming to bring me here, because I knew that Tang Miaomiao was a collector, and I had to do everything in advance. Homework, I learned some things in the collection world, one of which is the chicken pot. In the 2014 Hong Kong Forbes Spring Auction, a chicken pot was auctioned for a sky-high price of 280 million Hong Kong dollars, which shocked the collection world. The most striking feature in the cup's photo is a small rooster, which is very eye-catching, and I can't control my shock when I see it all of a sudden.

Cai Dong took a deep breath and carefully handed the cup in his hand to Song Yun. This thing was too expensive. If his hands trembled and threw it on the ground, although his family was rich, it would be too much to pay.

"what?!"

"What happened to you?"

"Am I right?"

"Isn't this a chicken pot cup?"

Cai Dong raised his head, looked at Sikongming, and then at Tang Miaomiao, and found that the expressions on the faces of both of them were a bit strange, and he knew that he must have made a mistake.

"Hehehe!"

"Miao Miao, Cai Dong is not in our circle. He can't see any difference, it's normal."

Sikongming was helpless, Cai Dong wanted to show it, but a layman is a layman, so he couldn't figure it out at all, and instead made a mistake.

Tang Miaomiao nodded and said nothing.

Cai Dong's face was as red as a boiled prawn, but he had no idea what he was doing wrong.

"This is indeed a chicken pot cup, but it's not the same as the one you mentioned that sold for nearly 300 million Hong Kong dollars."

Seeing that Song Yun was really embarrassed, he took the initiative to speak.

"It was a Ming Chenghua Doucai chicken pot cup. Although the one we are seeing now is also a chicken pot cup, it is from the Qing Dynasty, and the price is very different."

Song Yun has spent the past two days trying to supplement his knowledge of antiques collection, but he has achieved little success. Because of the sky-high price of Chenghua's Doucai Chicken Cup, he was mentioned in almost all materials. Naturally, he is very familiar with it. This is the "crystallization of love" by Emperor Chenghua. .

Ming Dynasty Chenghua Emperor Zhu Jianshen was the eighth emperor of the Ming Dynasty. He was surrounded by a palace maid who was 19 years older than him. He had been watching him grow up since childhood. The empress dowager and the opposition of many courtiers could not succeed in the end, but he favored Concubine Wan for more than 20 years in his life.

Concubine Wan loved porcelain. Legend has it that the Emperor Chenghua fired a large number of exquisite porcelains in JDZ to win her favor. One of them was the Doucai Chicken Cup, which was a testimony of their love.

The pattern of the chicken pot comes from the Song Dynasty's "The Son of a Hen". It is said that when Emperor Chenghua was admiring this painting, he saw a warm scene of a hen with a few chicks foraging for food. He was touched and thought of it. The love between his own concubine Wan gave birth to the wish to make a chicken pot cup. In this way, he wanted to commemorate the years when the concubine took care of him when he was young.

"The chicken pot in the auction used a technique called 'doucai'. In Ming and Qing documents, this technique was called 'cheng kiln five-color' or

It is a special process that combines on-glaze multi-colored and under-glazed blue and white. First, the blue and white part of the pattern must be painted on the tire, then covered with transparent glaze, and sent to the kiln for roasting. , after the success, fill in the blanks deliberately left with low-temperature color materials such as red, yellow, green, purple glaze, etc., and then enter the kiln for a low-temperature secondary roasting to form the bucket color. In this way, under the glaze

The combination of 'blue and white' and 'colored painting' on the glaze produces rich contrasts, and they compete with each other, bringing a very powerful visual impact. "

Tang Miaomiao was extremely surprised. A few days ago, Song Yun seemed to know nothing about antiques, but now he can talk about it, the difference is too big.

"Chenghua Doucai's chicken cups cost 100 taels of silver for a pair in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, which is already a sky-high price."

"The one that was auctioned was said to have been bought by collector Qiu Yanzhi in Hong Kong for HK$1,000 in 1949. After many auctions, it finally sold for a sky-high price of HK$280 million in 2014."

Song Yun said while turning over the cup in his hand, revealing the style below.

"These six characters are written: The Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty is antique."

When Cai Dong saw it, his face became even redder. Although he didn't understand antiques, he could still tell the difference between the Ming and Qing dynasties. He originally wanted to use this cup to talk about a common topic, but unexpectedly, he made a big oolong.
