Chapter 411 National Strength Determines Aesthetics

ps: Today's first update, please support the monthly ticket.

Listening to your words is better than reading for ten years. In some cases, it is definitely not just empty talk. Half a year ago, Wang Guan was very envious of the advice of famous teachers like Yu Feibai and Youqian, and learned many secrets that ordinary people do not know.

In the following time, Wang Guan's appreciation ability also improved by leaps and bounds, and there were special abilities. It is undeniable that the guidance of Mr. Qian, Mr. Zhang and others also played a very important role.

Of course, there is also an early approach, that is, Wang Guan’s own knowledge has accumulated to a certain extent, so that he can be enlightened. After all, blacksmiths have to rely on his own strength. If he is blinded by everything, the guidance of Mr. Qian and others is no different from playing the piano against a cow, and it will not have any effect at all.

It’s like the relationship between a famous teacher and a high disciple. The disciple is eager to learn, and the famous teacher is happy to give him guidance. Otherwise, the disciple will be ignorant and do not want to work hard. Let alone the famous teacher, even the mediocre teacher will not bother to pay attention to you...

No matter what, Wang Guan’s ability to appreciate calligraphy and painting is indeed a bit low. Now that Mr. Zhou is willing to give advice, he is naturally very happy and grateful.

"My ability to appreciate calligraphy and painting is only middle and upper class, and my job is to study the origin of clothing in all dynasties."

Mr. Zhou admitted: "Ling Xi is a big expert in porcelain, but his identification of calligraphy and painting is similar to mine. If you want to develop in calligraphy and painting, you probably have to study hard by yourself. Of course, if you have the opportunity, I can also introduce several contemporary masters to you and ask them more questions."

"Haha, let's talk about it if you have the chance." Wang Guan didn't care. Anyway, he was still young and had time to study. Besides, he was stunned by the truth that he couldn't eat too much.

"Um."

Mr. Zhou nodded slightly, no longer worried about this matter, but continued to talk about the strange stories he knew. Of course, it was not only him who said that Pi Qiu had been in the antique industry for more than ten years, but he was also a person with a story, and he would interject one or two sentences from time to time. He could chat with Mr. Zhou.

Wang Guan listened with relish. When he encountered something he didn't understand, he asked for advice...

Time passed gradually, and I don’t know how long it took, Wang Guan’s cell phone suddenly rang. He took it out and saw that it was Mr. Qian’s call, so he naturally answered it quickly.

"Wang Guan, did you ask someone to transport a wheelbarrow?" Qian Lao's voice was a little confused.

"Yes, yes, yes... Mr. Qian. Sorry, I forgot to tell you."

Wang Guan responded repeatedly. He almost forgot about this matter. After apologizing, he hurriedly explained: "Tsinghua lives upstairs and is not easy to move it up, so let's put it there for you."

"It's okay, it's your thing." Qian Lao smiled and said, "By the way, when are you going to come back?"

"I'm back, here with Mr. Zhou." Wang Guan said.

"He picked up another leak!"

At this moment, Old Zhou interrupted, "Qianlong official kiln pastel porcelain bottle. Butterfly plays with cat pattern..."

"Lu'er? Wang Guan, have you got something good again?" Because there was a layer of separation, Mr. Qian only heard a few words, but it was enough. He guessed the facts without any effort.

"It's just a bottle." Wang Guan smiled and said, "Old Zhou was in a hurry to watch it, so he rushed back in Tianjin. He originally planned to wait until Old Zhou finished reading it and then send it to you for tasting. However, Old Zhou cut it off and wanted to study it for a while."

"Even Yi Zhi is tempted to intercept it, it must be a rare thing." Qian Lao said with a smile: "It's just right to come back, come here to have dinner tonight. Bring the things by the way."

“Eat together…”

Wang Guan looked at Mr. Zhou, and when he saw him nodding, he smiled and said, "Okay, Mr. Zhou agrees, no problem. In addition, there is a friend from Tianjin... Yes, Feibai and Tsinghua have not come back... don't worry about them? Okay, just like this... I'll see you later."

After checking the phone, Wang Guan turned around and smiled, "Old Zhou, Mr. Qian asked us to go there now."

"If you go, go, if someone treats you, why not?" Zhou smiled, put the bottle into the box, and walked out.

"Brother, are you going to visit Mr. Qian?"

At the same time, Pi Qiushi asked in a low voice. After getting the affirmative answer, his face suddenly showed an expression of excitement.

Although Qian has lived in seclusion in porcelain capitals over the years, and some young collectors may not know who he is, these people definitely do not include older collectors, especially antique dealers who have been in Beijing and Tianjin for more than ten years.

If Pi Qiushi admires Mr. Zhou, then he already respects Mr. Qian. Thinking of seeing two idols in one day, Pi Qiushi's face was already full of joy, and he felt that Wang Guan was his lucky star.

"Brother, I'm so righteous. I won't say much else." Pi Qiushi patted his chest and said, "I remember everything in my heart. If you have anything in the future, just say hello, and you will definitely not be vague."

"Brother Pi said this and I'll see you. I'll definitely ask you for something in the future..."

During the chat, the three of them went out and walked around and came to Mr. Qian's mansion. After entering, Wang Guan found Mr. Qian was entertaining guests. He was a middle-aged man in his forties, with his hair neatly combed and dressed very carefully. He exuded a graceful and elegant temperament.

"Wei Zhuo!" As soon as he entered the living room, Mr. Zhou seemed a little surprised when he saw this person and said with a smile: "I said why did Ling Xi suddenly treat him today? It turned out that you are back."

"Uncle Zhou, you are here."

The elegant middle-aged man stood up, as if he was the owner of this place, and came to welcome the guests with a smile.

After some greetings, Mr. Zhou introduced him: "Wei Zhuo, this is Wang Guan, have Ling Xi mentioned it to you?"

"It's so well-known that I've heard of the famous name for a long time. It's a young and promising connoisseur, the new owner of the peerless Qin Jiaowei." Wei Zhuo smiled and took the initiative to come over to shake hands with Wang Guan.

"Jiao Weiqin?" Pi Qiushi next to him was stunned. He didn't know about this.

"You've been awarded..."

At the same time, Wang Guan was also a little vague and didn't know what to call the person in front of him.

"This is his friend Pi Qiushi, an expert in the Tianjin Circle." Mr. Zhou continued to introduce it.

"Hello Mr. Wei."

At this time, Pi Qiushi temporarily let go of his confusion and greeted him with a smile. With his years of social experience, he realized that Wei Zhuo's identity might be extraordinary.

"Hello, hello!" Wei Zhuo was kind-hearted and shook hands with Pi Qiushi, then led a few people to the chair to sit down.

"Wang Guan, this is my son."

At this time, Mr. Qian pointed at Wei Zhuo and smiled: "If you have anything you can't solve in the future, you can ask him for help."

In an instant, a look of surprise flashed through Wei Zhuo's eyes. You should know that he knew his father's temper. Although he did not dislike such things that rely on relationships and favors, he would never recommend them. But now he has made an offer, which shows that this young man has a great position in his father's heart. At least he pays more attention than he imagined...

Wei Zhuo thought about something, but he was not slow to react. After handing over a business card, he nodded and smiled: "If you have something to do, just call me. As long as you can, you will definitely not refuse."

In fact, Wang Guan was also a little surprised. After all, Wei Zhuo and Qian Lao did not have the same surname. But thinking about it, taking the mother's surname seems to be a custom, and it is not very strange.

After taking the business card, Wang Guan carefully put it away and thanked him politely.

Mr. Qian nodded and smiled and said, "Yizhi, take out the bottle. It is also the reputation of the cat butterfly sumo wrestling bottle for a long time. I didn't expect that I would have the chance to see the real thing with my own eyes, but I just don't know if the things are as exquisite as the legendary ones."

"More exquisite than the legendary one..."

While speaking, Mr. Zhou took out the pastel porcelain bottle and gently placed it on the table.

Under the light, the white porcelain bottle emits a delicate luster like mutton fat jade, and the cat and butterfly patterns on the bottle are lifelike, as if they are about to leaps out of the bottle, with a strong three-dimensional feeling.

"It's indeed unusual."

After all, he is a big expert. Mr. Qian can judge the authenticity of things by looking at it a little. Then he carefully picked up the porcelain bottle and studied it carefully for a moment. After saying, he praised it: "It is often said that the three dynasties of official kiln porcelain is the best. However, the porcelain of the Qianlong Dynasty was complicated and refined, not as thick as Kangxi, and was not as beautiful as Yongzheng, and showed signs of decline compared to the previous dynasty."

"However, this comparison is a bit biased. After all, no matter how bad the porcelain is, it will not be much worse. Xu Zhiheng of the Qing Dynasty recorded in "Yinliuzhai Shuo Porcelain" that 'As far as Qianlong was concerned, it was almost as exquisite as a magical craft'."

Qian smiled and said, "This sentence is the best interpretation of porcelain during the Qianlong period. Every process is meticulous, meticulous, and meticulous. These characteristics can be seen from this pastel porcelain bottle. The exquisite drawing and the control of the heat during firing are almost done to the extreme without any error."

"Of course, all the errors were smashed." Old Zhou smiled and said, "After all, it was something to celebrate Emperor Qianlong's birthday. If the fault was found, it would be the end of the human head. Who would dare to be negligent?"

"Too."

Qian Laohan nodded with a smile and suddenly asked, "Wang Guan, among the official kiln porcelains of the three Qing dynasties, Kangxi was rich and grand, Yongzheng was beautiful and timeless, and Qianlong was cumbersome and meticulous. What do you think about this?"

"view……"

Wang Guan pondered, and after a long time, he smiled and said, "I think this is related to national strength."

"Huh!"

Wei Zhuo was a little surprised and talked about porcelain. How did he increase national strength? However, he also became more interested and listened carefully. He wanted to know whether Wang Guan was meaningful or far-fetched.

"Then you tell me about it in detail." Old Qian smiled.

"Generally speaking, the styles of official kiln porcelains in the third Qing Dynasty were both inherited and unique. The reason was nothing more than the influence of the craftsmanship of the time and the emperor's temperament."

Wang Guan analyzed: "Kangxi has a generous personality and likes things that are generous and grand; Yongzheng is aloof and arrogant personality, which is the so-called self-admiration, and naturally prefers elegant and elegant things. As for Qianlong, he likes complicated and lively, luxurious and beautiful styles. Therefore, the porcelain of that period was characterized by magnificent and colorful and prosperous, which was not only exquisite and novel, but also exquisite and elegant."
