Yang Jing really didn't know much about Pu'er tea, so he naturally didn't know how much effort his second brother Sun Aoran had put in to get these two tea cakes. But seeing that Mr. Yang liked these two tea cakes so much, Yang Jing knew that his "gift" was definitely the right one.
After the old man happily "hid" the two pieces of old round tea like a child, Yang Jing asked the old man to appreciate the treasures he brought.
The first thing the old man looked at was naturally the Dongbi Sword. In the old man's words, this sword was more or less related to him.
The old man was not lying. Although this sword was the Qiankun Sword that the Medicine Saint Li Shizhen carried with him in his middle and late years, after the Medicine Saint passed away, the sword was wandering around and eventually fell into the hands of Zaifeng, the last regent, who became the new and last owner of the Dongbi Sword.
The old man's teacher, Master Qi Gong, was named Aixinjueluo, and was the younger generation of the last regent. Although Master Qi Gong had never seen the Dongbi Sword when he was young, he knew that Li Shizhen's Dongbi Sword was in the hands of his elder, the regent. Master Qi Gong had mentioned this to Mr. Yang. Otherwise, when Yang Jing mentioned the name of the sword on the phone when he was identifying the sword that day, Mr. Yang would have immediately confirmed the true identity of the sword's owner.
"The teacher had never seen this sword when he was young, but he had heard of it. If the teacher were still alive, he would definitely be very happy to see this sword." Old Master Yang sighed. The relationship between him and Master Qi Gong was absolutely deep. Now that he saw the sword with his own eyes, how could he not think of his teacher who had passed away again?
After sighing for a while, the old man put down the sword and picked up the Longquan Ge Kiln flower-mouth plate instead.
The old man looked at it carefully for a while, then smiled and said, "Xiao Jing, you picked a good plate. You picked a good plate! If I'm not mistaken, this plate should be from Longquan Ge Kiln, not a handed-down Ge Kiln."
Yang Jing already knew the origin of this flower-mouthed plate through the identification of the ring, so he was naturally not surprised by what the old man said.
Mr. Yang gently put down the flower-mouthed plate, and then said: "Among the five kilns in the Song Dynasty, the only one that has not been confirmed so far is the Ge kiln. People in the world regard 'golden wire and iron wire' as the main characteristics of the Ge kiln, but in fact this understanding should be wrong. My teacher and I have studied the Ge kiln for a period of time. The teacher once said that in fact, the official kiln in the Northern Song Dynasty had the characteristics of 'golden wire and iron wire'. Later generations may have mistaken the characteristics of the official kiln for the characteristics of Ge porcelain, which caused the confusion of not distinguishing Ge from official. The Ge kilns handed down from later generations were all imitated according to the characteristics of 'golden wire and iron wire', so this has led to the current situation where the characteristics of the Ge kiln handed down from generation to generation are different from those of the Ge porcelain recorded in ancient texts."
"In fact, the crack lines of Longquan Ge Kiln are white, which is very consistent with the 'light white crack lines' recorded in ancient texts. Except for Longquan Ge Kiln, other Ge Kiln wares handed down from generation to generation do not meet this feature. It's just that there are very few Longquan Ge Kiln wares in existence, and not many people have really seen them. Therefore, most players don't pay much attention to the color of the crack lines, and think that any kiln wares with cracks all over are Ge Kiln or imitation Ge Kiln wares. This is a wrong understanding."
"When the teacher was alive, he once made a judgment. He said that there is more than 90% chance that the so-called Ge Kiln is the Longquan Ge Kiln!"
The old man shook his head slightly and sighed, "If the teacher were still alive, the debate about Ge Kiln and Longquan Ge Kiln would probably have reached a final result, and this result is the result that the teacher once judged."
After a pause, the old man looked at the flower-mouthed plate and said, "Xiao Jing, no matter what the final result of the dispute between Ge Kiln and Longquan Ge Kiln is, your plate is undoubtedly from Longquan Ge Kiln, and the number of Longquan Ge Kiln in existence is extremely rare. There are only about 300 pieces of Ge Kiln handed down from generation to generation in the world, and the number of Longquan Ge Kiln can be counted on one hand! The discovery of your plate is of great significance to the dispute between Longquan Ge Kiln and Ge Kiln! So Xiao Jing, you'd better keep this plate well."
Yang Jing nodded confidently and said, "Grandpa Yang, don't worry. I will never sell this plate. I plan to open a private museum in the future. Such a precious Longquan Ge Kiln is enough to be the treasure of my museum. How can I sell my treasure?"
"Oh? You want to open a private museum?" The old man became interested when he heard this.
"Well, this is just one of my mid-term goals. Grandpa Yang, actually I came across a market by chance in a rural area outside Yanjing a few days ago, and at that market I bought nearly 800 kilograms of various manuscripts and documents at the price of scrap. These manuscripts and documents alone are enough to support me to open a small museum. But I think these manuscripts and documents alone are far from enough, so I plan to work harder in the next few years, find more treasures, and then open a private museum that is not inferior to Ma Weidu's."
Old Master Yang nodded with a smile and said, "Well, your ambition is not bad. When Xiao Ma opened his Guanfu Museum, he invited me to come over for guidance. I have to say that Xiao Ma worked hard enough in those years to open such a large museum. Xiao Jing, I hope your museum can surpass Xiao Ma's museum."
Mr. Ma is a top collector in the domestic circle, but in front of Mr. Yang, he is definitely a junior. The old man always mentions "Little Ma" and no one can say anything else.
