The perfect rich man in the city

Chapter 1068

As the news spread, major auction houses came to seek cooperation.

In the end, Zhong Shan chose a company with a good reputation.

Although this auction is not the most awesome auction in history, it is not bad.

Moreover, some exquisite Chinese antiques also appeared.

Zhongshan auctioned several pieces.

Then donated it to China.

It's not worth much, but its reputation is······

So spend money to buy fame.

It’s like entrepreneurs doing charity.

In fact, there were not many Chinese antiques at this auction.

Only two items are worth some money.

One is the Xuande furnace.

The copper stove from the Xuande period is considered a very valuable item in the antique industry.

Xuande stove is a copper incense burner designed and manufactured by Zhu Zhanji, the Emperor Xuanzong of Ming Dynasty, who participated in the design and manufacture in the third year of Xuande period of Ming Dynasty. It is referred to as"Xuande stove". Xuande stove is the first copperware cast by wind-milled copper in Chinese history.

In order to produce a high-quality copper furnace, under the personal supervision of Zhu Zhanji, the entire production process, including copper smelting and modeling, must be drawn from classics such as"Xuanhe ** Pictures" and"Archaeological Pictures" as well as hundreds of items secretly stored in the imperial palace. From the famous kilns of the Song and Yuan Dynasties, the shapes that were suitable for the intended use and elegant were selected, drawn into pictures, and then presented to them for personal viewing, and the origin of the pictures and allusions were explained. After screening and confirmation, they were cast again. Let him take a look at the actual sample and only start casting if he is satisfied.

The Xuande furnace is highlighted by its color, which is internally blended.

This Xuande furnace is made of brass, with the inscription"Xuande Year of the Ming Dynasty" in regular script on the bottom and a base.

The furnace body is regular in shape, honest yet smart and delicate, and is quite elegant as a study display. Burning incense inside, the heaviness of hundreds of years of history overflows with the incense. Its whole body is shiny, showing the pure and beautiful quality of the copper stove. The copper is fine and heavy.

The basic shape of Xuande furnace in the Ming Dynasty is an open mouth, square or round lips, a short and thin neck, a flat and bulging belly, three blunt tapered solid feet or crotch-shaped empty feet, and bridge-shaped ears, knuckle-shaped ears, or animal-shaped ears on the mouth rim. , there are more year inscriptions on the outer bottom of the furnace, similar to Xuande porcelain models.

In addition to copper, there are also precious materials such as gold and silver. Therefore, the furnace is particularly delicate and dark purple or dark brown in color. Generally, the furnace charge needs to be refined for four times, while the Xuande furnace needs to be refined for twelve times, so the quality of the furnace will be as fine as baby skin. The gold-plated or gold-embedded Xuande furnace has a shining golden light, which can give people the feeling of being an extraordinary vessel.

The most wonderful thing about Xuande furnace is its color, which blends within and emits strange light from the darkness. Historical records record more than forty colors, which are loved by the world and have many names. For example, purple with blue and black like eggplant skin is called eggplant skin color; black and yellow like Tibetan scripture paper is called Tibetan scripture color; black and white with reddish and light yellow is called brown; greenish color is called earthy color; white, yellow with red. Those with a color that resembles Tangli are called Tangli color, and those with yellow-red ground and colorful spots are called Imitation Song Shao spots; spots that are brighter red than pearl sand are called vermilion spots; those that are as light as pig liver color and jujube color Red, amber, powdered tea leaves, crab shell green, etc... Xiang Yuanbian (Zijing), a great connoisseur, collector and painter during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, said:"The beauty of Xuanlu is that the color of the treasure contains pearls and shines on the outside. Dandan Mumu."

The Xuande stove has been burned on the fire for a long time, and the colors are bright and changeable. If it is left on the fire for a long time, even if it is thrown into the mud and the mud is wiped off, it will still be the same as before.

Maoxiang (Dong Xiaowan's husband), a scholar and poet in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, was fond of playing with Xuande stoves. He wrote"Xuan Tong Lu Song" and"Xuan Tong Lu Song Annotations", and"Xuan Tong Lu Song" was a poem by Mr. Fang Tan'an.》，"There is a strange light in the furnace, and the flesh is so soft and refreshing. The narrow edge of the spider's ear hides the color of the scriptures, and the yellow clouds are hidden and jumping, and the sculptures are polished."This is Maoxiang's description of the Xuande furnace.

Just as it is sung in"Xuan Tong Lu Song":"Looking at the present and recalling the past, I sigh again and again. I feel pity for you, just like all the bronze camels."A furnace is not a generation of Xiaoguan, and the saints and Tokawa are gradually rubbing each other." Xuan Tong Lu can be said to record the historical witness of the heyday of the Ming Dynasty. In addition, from Maoxiang's"Yingmei'an Reminiscences", we can know that Xuan Tong Lu At the same time, it also expresses Maoxiang's longing for his concubine Dong Xiaowan. For Maoxiang, a Xuan bronze furnace not only evoked his thoughts about his homeland of the Ming Dynasty, but also evoked his longing for Dong Xiaowan.

To others, this may be a sky-high price.

But for Zhong Shan, this is not expensive.
