With a new physical form, Diao Yu naturally put the task of finding the fragments of her soul on the agenda.
Nan Xian is now a major shareholder of Fanmeng Entertainment, and she can make her own schedule. Apart from some advertising shoots that she has already signed with brands, she is now quite free.
Their first stop was Dejing Town, the most famous "Porcelain Capital" in China.
When it comes to famous porcelain, whether you're an expert or not, you'll always mention Dejing Town.
Dejing Town porcelain is a representative of Chinese porcelain. As early as the Han Dynasty, Dejing Town produced porcelain. Dejing Town porcelain is famous for its white porcelain, which is known as "white as jade, bright as a mirror, thin as paper, and resonant as a chime". It has a complete range of varieties, with more than 3,000 different types.
What truly caught Nan Xian's attention was a porcelain pattern that had suddenly become popular in Dejing Town in the past two years.
This pattern, mainly featuring animal motifs, has a very distinctive and unique style. It not only continues the rustic charm of traditional porcelain patterns but also incorporates popular elements commonly found in modern art, making it both retro and trendy, and highly sought after by young people.
Among these patterns, the "white elephant pattern" is the most famous.
The white elephants painted on porcelain are in various poses, some strolling gracefully in the rainforest, some playing freely in the mud after the rain, some migrating with their tribe, and some wearing jewelry and being devoutly worshipped by believers... They are lifelike and full of spirit.
What's most special is that each of the white elephant patterns on these porcelain pieces was hand-painted by the founder himself, making them truly unique and irreplaceable.
It is precisely because of this "uniqueness" that white elephant pattern porcelain has quickly become a new favorite among porcelain collectors. Some people even joke that if you are lucky enough to get a hand-painted white elephant pattern porcelain, you must not sleep soundly at night, and you must at least keep one eye open to keep watch!
The background and origins of the founder of "White Elephant Pattern" have always been a topic of conversation among industry insiders. No one knows when this young girl named "Ruizhu" appeared in Dejing Town. It seems that overnight, everyone accepted her existence.
She gives off an air of mystery, much like the white elephant patterns in her paintings. Some say she was once a wealthy heiress who grew tired of the extravagant lifestyle and thus gave up all desires related to money to return to nature. Others say she was a servant sent down to earth by a deity from the heavens, and that her paintings are divine music, possessing the purest and cleansing power to purify all sins and evils.
In fact, Nan Xian had heard about Rui Zhu and her white elephant pattern a long time ago, but she had no interest in porcelain, so she did not continue to learn about it.
At that time, she was a staunch materialist and scoffed at the rumors that were so exaggerated, believing them to be nothing more than hype created for publicity.
Only now, sitting in front of Ruizhu herself, has Nanxian been able to understand why so many people idolize her.
Ruizhu is a person who is really difficult to describe in words.
She was excessively young, barely in her early twenties, radiating a vibrant energy like the blazing sun. Her appearance wasn't particularly outstanding; her features were unremarkable, yet they combined to create a surprisingly harmonious whole, giving her an excellent first impression that made people instinctively lower their guard in her presence.
She wore simple, old clothes, her long, black hair was tied into a four-strand braid and hung down one shoulder, her nails were neatly trimmed, and every move she made as she picked up a cup of tea revealed a composure and elegance that could only be achieved through years of training and refinement.
Nan Xian's gaze was almost unable to leave her; it wasn't an examination or comparison, but pure appreciation.
If Nanxian had to use something to describe Ruizhu, she could only think of a landscape painting—an unsigned landscape painting, but anyone who saw it would subconsciously understand that it must have been done by a famous artist.
Ordinary painters could never create such a masterpiece.
