Chapter 752 Xuande Furnace

Originally, Yang Jing thought that the porcelains from Song and Five Kilns in this big box were already awesome. After all, they were porcelains from Song and Five Kilns. Its value is not comparable to that of Yuan blue and white porcelain and Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Some people may say that although the porcelains of Song and Wu kilns are very precious, how can they be compared with the value of some top-quality blue and white porcelains from the Yuan Dynasty and porcelains from the Ming and Qing Dynasties?We must know that in the current auction history of Huaxia porcelain, among the top ten porcelains with the highest transaction prices, there is only one Ru kiln porcelain washer from Song and Wu kilns, and its ranking is only sixth, not even in the top five.So, how can the value of porcelain from the Song and Five Kilns be on par with the top-quality porcelain from the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties?

This is certainly a fact, but what must be mentioned is, what are the other nine porcelains among the top ten porcelains with the highest auction value?
The first one is the Yuan blue and white plum vase with Xiao Heyue chasing Han Xintu, which is an out-and-out masterpiece; as for the second one, it is the Qianlong powder enamel hollowed-out vase, which is also a great treasure. .Among the nine porcelains, except for the third-ranked Chenghua Doucai Chicken Crock Cup, the other eight porcelains are out-and-out large ones.The most important thing is that almost every kind of porcelain has very little stock in the world.

And what about the sixth-ranked Ru kiln porcelain wash?It is just a very common Ru kiln azure-glazed sunflower wash among all Ru kiln porcelains, and its diameter is only 13.5 cm, which is a bit larger than Chenghua Doucai chicken cup.

Although there are only 78 pieces of Ru kiln porcelain known in the world at present, among these 78 pieces of Ru kiln porcelain, any piece of Ru kiln porcelain can be sold for more than [-] million Hong Kong dollars. What about period porcelain?It must be one of the best or even the best, so that it can be compared with Ru kiln porcelain.

Therefore, in terms of value, the porcelain of Song and Five Kilns as a whole is still far superior to the blue and white porcelain of Yuan Dynasty and the porcelain of Ming and Qing Dynasties.

This is why Yang Jing was very happy when he got a set of Chenghua Doucai Chicken Crock Cups, a set of Multicolored Twelve Flower God Cups and a set of Yuan blue and white figure pots, but he definitely did not get these eight pieces from Song Wuyao. The excitement of porcelain.

And what excites him even more is the last piece, a completely unexpected chai kiln celadon glazed narcissus vase!
To make a slightly inappropriate analogy, the Yuan blue and white porcelains and Ming and Qing era porcelains that Yang Jing discovered before are like seeing Miss Asia, and the eight pieces of Song and Five kiln porcelains have been immediately upgraded to Miss Global s level!As for the last piece of chai porcelain, to be honest, Yang Jing couldn't think of any other beautiful women who could compare it to it!
Although Yang Jing has also harvested a lot of top-quality porcelain in the past two years, including this harvest, it is no exaggeration to say that in his mind, this piece of chai porcelain is unique and the most precious of all these porcelains one piece!
According to Yang Jing's mood at this time, even if all the previous treasures are not in hand, even if there is only this chai kiln sky blue glazed narcissus vase, then this treasure hunting trip is very satisfying!
Eight top-quality Song and Five Kiln porcelains and one piece of Chai porcelain that can't be overstated were harvested in one box. This was simply something Yang Jing had never expected before.Judging from the harvest of the previous few boxes, he thought that the top-quality porcelain in this box was still in full bloom in the Ming Dynasty or Qing Dynasty, but he did not expect that it was the more precious Song and Five Kiln porcelain.

Especially for the Chai porcelain, Yang Jing didn't even know what to say.

It is a bit extravagant to put such nine pieces of porcelain in such a big iron box, but after thinking about the value of these nine pieces of porcelain, Yang Jing also understands the thoughts of the little devil who buried these treasures at that time up.

Among the little devils at that time, there was definitely one who could be called everyone, otherwise this batch of porcelain would not have been preserved so well, and the classification was so clear.In fact, to be honest, I really want to thank the Japanese, otherwise these porcelains have been buried in that underground tomb for so many years, who knows what unpredictable things will happen.

Shaking his head, Yang Jing withdrew his mind from the space, he was really a little too excited, he needed to calm himself down a bit.

Carefully got out of bed, but still provoked Ge Ge to mutter a few words in a low voice.Pausing for a while, watching Gege turn around again and continue to fall asleep, Yang Jing put on his pajamas, picked up a pack of cigarettes and a lighter from the coffee table, quietly walked out of the room, went to the balcony outside and lit a cigarette. A cigarette, looking at the night view of the city outside, feeling the slightly moist air.

After smoking a cigarette on the balcony, Yang Jing stubbed out the cigarette butt, carefully returned to the room and got into bed, then sank his mind into the storage space again.

"Well, there seems to be something under this box?" Yang Jing was about to put the big iron box just opened aside, but found that there seemed to be something inside.

That’s right, even though I took out nine pieces of extremely precious porcelain from this box just now, almost all of these pieces of porcelain are small and medium-sized. It can't take up half of the volume.

Just now, he was just looking at the narcissus vase with celadon glaze from the firewood kiln, but Yang Jing directly ignored the lower half of the box covered by thatch. When he moved the box again, he realized that the box was covered by the thatch just now. The box that brought me a huge surprise, there seems to be something in the lower half.

Sure enough, after Yang Jing cleaned out all the thatch covering the top, the two things exposed from the lower part of the box made Yang Jing's heart shrink again.

These are two antique copper censers with a diameter of more than twenty centimeters!
Almost the same as the Chai porcelain just now, Yang Jing just took a look at the two incense burners, and three words immediately popped up in his mind - Xuande burner!

No need for identification, no need to study, just one glance, Yang Jing can almost determine that these two antique incense burners are the legendary Xuande burners!

The so-called "opening the door" and the so-called "one-shot product" refer to the treasure in front of you.This kind of treasure really does not need to be identified and studied, because this kind of treasure can always be seen at a glance. Different from other items!

This is the same as the Chai Ci that was discovered just now, it is the kind of rare treasure that no matter you are an expert or a novice, you can tell at a glance that this is a rare treasure!

The two copper incense burners in front of us are like this!

"Is it really lucky? I just got a piece of Chai porcelain, and now I want to give me two pieces of the legendary Xuande furnace?" Yang Jing almost couldn't help laughing, the treasure in this big iron box is really too good. unexpected.

The so-called Xuande furnace refers to the first batch of copper incense burners cast by Emperor Xuande of the Ming Dynasty, that is, Zhu Zhanji, the grandson of Emperor Yongle Zhu Di, after he became emperor.Because of the strict materials used and the exquisite casting, this batch of copper incense burners has been imitated by people of later generations. From the middle of Ming Dynasty to the late Ming Dynasty, to the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, and even to modern times, countless people are imitating Xuande incense burners. .

But as the saying goes, this Xuande furnace is the real item that "only has been imitated, never surpassed"!

Although it has been about 700 years since the advent of Xuande Furnace, and countless imitations have come out during this period, as long as the word "Xuande Furnace" is mentioned, everyone knows that it only refers to the three-year casting of Xuande Furnace. The batch of copper incense burners.Only those batches of copper incense stoves are eligible to be called "Xuande stove" or "Xuande stove".

As the most famous incense burner in Chinese history, when it comes to Xuande stove, one has to mention Zhu Zhanji, the emperor of Xuande who ordered the Xuande stove.

It is said that when Zhu Zhanji was born, Zhu Di, the Emperor of Yongle, had a dream. He dreamed that his father Zhu Yuanzhang gave him a big gui, and said eight words: "The descendants will be prosperous forever." Zhu Di thought this was an auspicious omen. .A few years later, Zhu Di launched the "Battle of Jingnan" that affected the course of the Ming Dynasty, and successfully became a generation of emperors.

Perhaps because of this, Zhu Di loves Zhu Zhanji very much.Zhu Di often took him out of the capital to go hunting.During the Northern Expedition to Mongolia, Zhu Di also intentionally took Zhu Zhanji by his side to train in the wind and sand in the north.

At that time, everyone knew that what Zhu Di really liked was Zhu Zhanji, the grandson of the emperor, not the eldest son Zhu Gaochi.

It is precisely because he received his grandfather's personal teaching since he was a child that Zhu Zhanji became a very qualified emperor after he ascended the throne.Among other things, Zhu Zhanji's father, Ming Renzong Zhu Gaochi, once planned to move the court from Yanjing to Jinling.The main reason is that Yanjing is too close to Mongolia. If the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty counterattack, then Yanjing will bear the brunt.

To this end, Zhu Gaochi carried out some preliminary work in an orderly manner, such as setting up the Jinling garrison, and sending trusted generals and eunuchs to take command.At the same time, Zhu Zhanji, the crown prince, was appointed to visit Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial tomb in Jinling, and stayed there to preside over the work.However, Zhu Gaochi died before the plan could be implemented, which temporarily interrupted the plan.

After Zhu Zhanji ascended the throne, he made a decision that now seems very wise: cancel his father's plan to move the capital, and continue to use Yanjing as the imperial capital.

There is no doubt that Zhu Zhanji inherited some of the good qualities of his grandfather Zhu Di.He is willing to keep the capital as close to the north as possible, and personally fulfill the duty of "the emperor guards the gate of the country".

Zhu Zhanji has a second uncle named Zhu Gaoxu. This guy is born with powerful martial arts and extraordinary martial arts skills.When Zhu Di launched the Jingnan Campaign, Zhu Gaoxu, as Zhu Di's second son, did a lot of meritorious service to his father, so Zhu Gaoxu believed that he had made great contributions and should take over the imperial power left by his father Zhu Di.

Therefore, after Zhu Zhanji, who was only 27 years old at the time, became the throne, Zhu Gaoxu was very dissatisfied, so this guy planned to learn from his father Zhu Di, and launched an attack on the court under the banner of "the side of the Qing emperor".However, Zhu Zhanji is not Emperor Jianwen, nor is Zhu Gaoxu Zhu Di.At the suggestion of Prince Shaofu, Jinshendian University Bachelor and Minister of Industry Yang Rong, Zhu Zhanji drove himself to the expedition, defeated Zhu Gaoxu in two or three strikes, and captured him alive.And finally killed the rebellious second uncle.

After defeating Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Zhanji immediately summoned Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui, suggesting that he surrender military power.Zhu Gaosui did not resist, and surrendered his military power obediently.In this way, the issue of King Pan, which had been plagued the Ming Dynasty, was satisfactorily resolved.

At the same time, during Zhu Zhanji's ten years as emperor, he implemented a policy of resting with the people and actively developed agricultural production.In the military, Zhu Zhanji, like his grandfather Zhu Di, made many personal conquests, conquered Mongolia outside, and suppressed rebellions inside, keeping the Ming Dynasty standing.In terms of finance, Zhu Zhanji reduced and exempted punitive taxes for the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River to develop the economy.In terms of culture, a relatively loose and free cultural policy has been implemented, and cultural undertakings have developed rapidly...

In the end, Zhu Zhanji spent ten years, plus the year of his father's reign, creating a prosperous age comparable to the "Government of Wenjing"-"Government of Renxuan".

It can be said that Zhu Zhanji is indeed a very good emperor who can even be called a wise emperor.The Xuande Furnace was built by the wise and artistic Emperor Xuanzong.
