Chapter 480 Xidu Province



"Master Leng Yue's insights are truly beyond the comprehension of ordinary people."

"If Master Leng Yue hadn't said this, I really wouldn't have known about the origins of the Autumn Color Porcelain Bowl."

"Don't tell me you don't know about these origins. I don't even know when the Autumn Color Porcelain Bowl was made."

"I only know that there is this thing called the Autumn Color Porcelain Bowl. If you ask me to introduce it in detail, it would really be difficult for me."

"Who says it's not true? But, after all, he is a national second-level treasure appraiser. It's not surprising that he knows these things."

"If Master Leng Yue didn't know these, I would find it very strange."

"That's true, but I don't know how this kid has the courage to know the name of Master Leng Yue."

"You actually dared to compete with Master Lengyue for this autumn-colored porcelain bowl. You must be tired of living."

"Alas, men have to save face. Under the watchful eyes of the public, no matter what, you have to maintain your face."

"If I run away like this, how will I survive in the treasure appraisal industry if I am recognized in the future?"

"That's not the case. After all, he is Master Leng Yue. It's not shameful to lose to Master Leng Yue."

"Besides, it would be great to take this opportunity to do a favor. In the future, maybe I can even climb up to the high branch of Master Leng Yue."

"Maybe he's stupid and doesn't know how to adapt."

"However, if this young man faces Master Leng Yue, he will probably lose."

The discussions among the passers-by never stopped.

However, since everyone knew Master Leng Yue's identity, no one has ever said a bad word about him.

He was either praising Master Leng Yue or belittling Lin Han, praising Master Leng Yue in disguise.

However, this is a normal thing. However, Master Leng Yue’s identity is enough to make anyone in awe.

Xidu Province was originally a relatively remote and backward provincial city in China.

Although it is also a province, compared with other provinces with rapidly developing economies, Xidu Province is already very backward.

In the economic ranking of Chinese provinces, Xidu Province has even become the last one.

In such economically backward provinces, even if there are talented people, they will tend to seek better places.

It is difficult for Xidu Province to retain local talents, and talents often yearn to develop in Kyoto and the Southern Triangle region.

Therefore, the economic development of Xidu Province has not been able to improve until the recent years, when it received support from the state.

Xidu Province has just begun to develop slowly, but even so, it is not as good as other provinces that have already entered into industrial upgrading.

Therefore, not only does Xidu Province lag behind other provinces in economic development, but it also lacks talent.

The same is true for the treasure appraisal industry. In the local area of ​​Xidu Province, there are simply not many treasure appraisal talents.

Not to mention how many national-level treasure appraisers there are, there are only a few provincial-level treasure appraisers.

But Master Lengyue is different. He is a rare treasure appraiser in Xidu Province.

Although there are several national-level treasure appraisers in Xidu Province, there are almost no treasure appraisers with the talent and development potential like Master Lengyue.

Other national-level treasure appraisers have either reached old age or have considered leaving.

The remaining provincial treasure appraisers are quite good in Xidu Province, but they are simply incomparable when compared with those in other provinces.

Therefore, under such circumstances, Master Leng Yue naturally became the brightest star among the shining stars in the treasure appraisal world of Xidu Province.

Naturally, everyone's comments on Master Leng Yue were all praise.

Of course, it is also because Master Leng Yue has been working wholeheartedly for the development of the treasure appraisal industry in Xidu Province.

A family that has made a living from the treasure appraisal industry for generations naturally has such capital.

However, although the economic development of Xidu Province is backward, Xidu Province also has its own advantages.

That is, Xidu Province is one of the cities famous for its antiques. Although the place is remote, in ancient times.

Xidu Province is located inland and close to other countries, so its strategic location can be said to be extremely important.

At that time, Xidu Province was heavily guarded and a strategic location, so the country naturally attached great importance to it.

Here, there is also peace and prosperity, and trade exchanges, which has led to many antique treasures being buried underground in Xidu Province.

It can even be said that every citizen in Xidu Province may have one or two antiques passed down in their homes.

Although this statement is somewhat exaggerated, it is not completely unreasonable.

"What Master Leng Yue said is true, but there are different opinions about the origin of the name of secret color porcelain. What Master Leng Yue said is only part of it."

"My view on the autumn-colored porcelain bowls comes from the traditional explanation that they are only used by the imperial court, hidden in the deep palace and rarely seen by people, and there are very few of them, so they are called secret colors."

"However, the ancients had their own opinions, and the moderns have their own opinions. None of us knows exactly what happened in the ancient times and what led to the naming."

"But now it is generally believed that secret color porcelain refers to the exquisite celadon of Yue Kiln, which is part of the tribute porcelain, but not exclusively for the royal family."

"Another explanation is that secret color porcelain is actually "secret room porcelain", which means a kind of porcelain fired in a sealed space."

"This is the speculation of modern scholars, but the speculation of ancient scholars has a different view."

"Because 'secret' and 'secret' were interchangeable characters in ancient times, the ancient Yue Kiln potters gave this kind of porcelain, which had extremely high firing costs and was only enjoyed by the royal family, the name 'secret color porcelain'."

"Regarding the color of "secret color", for thousands of years, later generations have always interpreted it through the "thousand peaks green color" in the poem "Secret Color Yue Ware" by Lu Guimeng of the Tang Dynasty: "The ninth autumn wind and dew open the Yue kiln, and the green color of the dry peaks is captured."

"Researchers have different opinions on whether this batch of secret color porcelain is the green color of thousands of peaks in the poem."

"There are a lot of speculations from different scholars, different historical periods, and even different objects."

"Everyone has their own opinion on these speculations, and everyone thinks they are right, but what they say is not completely unreasonable."

"However, from my point of view, the proponents of the secret-chamber porcelain theory believe that it is precisely because the secret-color porcelain is fired in a sealed kiln made of porcelain for one-time use."

"So that the objects in the box are fired in a balanced and stable weak reducing atmosphere, the fired porcelain glaze layer is uniform, bright and moist, but the color should mostly be yellow-green rather than emerald green."

"This explanation is more reasonable and closer to the concept of the autumn-colored porcelain bowl."

"But even though this theory has been recognized by most people, there are still many scholars who insist on their own views."
