Originally, Yang Jing thought that the porcelain of the song five kilns in this big box was strong enough. After all, it was the porcelain of the song five kilns. In modern times, its quantity is far lower than that of the yuan blue and white porcelain and the porcelain of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and its value is not comparable to that of the yuan blue and white porcelain and the porcelain of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Some people may say that although the porcelain of the song and five kilns is very precious, how can it be compared with the value of some top-grade yuan blue and white porcelain and the porcelain of the Ming and Qing Dynasties? You should know that in the auction history of Chinese porcelain, among the top ten porcelain with the highest transaction price, there is only one Ru kiln porcelain washing of song five kilns, which ranks only sixth, not even the top five. Therefore, how can the porcelain of the song and five kilns be compared in value with the best porcelain of the yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties?

This is a fact of course, but I have to mention that among the top ten porcelain with the highest auction value, what are the other nine porcelain?

The first one is the yuan blue and white plum vase that Xiao he chases Han Xintu under the moon. It is a big piece to the letter; As for the second one, the Qianlong pastel hollow out revolving vase, which is also a big ware... Among the nine porcelains, in addition to the Chenghua doucai chicken jar cup, the other eight porcelains are all big ware. The most important thing is that almost every kind of porcelain has very little survival.

And what about the sixth Ru kiln porcelain wash? It's just a very common Ru kiln azure glaze sunflower washing among all Ru kiln porcelain. Its diameter is only 13.5cm, which is a little larger than Chenghua doucai chicken jar cup.

Although there are only 78 pieces of Ru kiln porcelain known all over the world, just one of these 78 pieces of Ru kiln porcelain can sell for more than HK $200 million. What about yuan blue and white porcelain or porcelain from the Ming and Qing Dynasties? It must be a high-quality or even the best among them before it can be compared with Ru kiln porcelain.

Therefore, if we want to really talk about value, the porcelain of song and five kilns as a whole is still far more than that of Yuan blue and white porcelain and that of Ming and Qing Dynasties.

This is why Yang Jing was very happy when he got a set of Chenghua doucai chicken jar cup, a set of colorful twelve flower god cup and a set of Yuan blue and white figure jar, but he definitely didn't get the excitement of these eight song and five kiln porcelain.

What made him even more excited was the last completely unexpected chaiyao azure glazed Narcissus vase!

To make a slightly inappropriate analogy, the yuan blue and white porcelain and the porcelain of the Ming and Qing Dynasties discovered by Yang Jing before seemed to meet Miss Asia, and the grade of the eight song and five kiln porcelain immediately rose to the level of Miss World! As for the last piece of firewood porcelain, to be honest, Yang Jing can't think of any grade of beauty that can compare it!

Although Yang Jing has also harvested a lot of top-grade porcelain in the past two years, including this harvest, it is no exaggeration to say that in his mind, this firewood porcelain is unique and the most precious of all these porcelain!

According to Yang Jing's mood at this time, even if all the treasures in front are not available, even if there is only one chaiyao Tianqing glazed Narcissus vase, then the treasure hunt trip is full of satisfaction!

Eight pieces of top-grade song five kiln porcelain and one piece of wood porcelain that can't be described too much were harvested in one box, which Yang Jing had never expected before. Originally, judging from the harvest of the previous boxes, he thought that the box was still filled with the best porcelain of the Ming dynasty or the Qing Dynasty, but he didn't expect that it was more precious porcelain of the song and five kilns.

Especially the firewood porcelain, Yang Jing didn't know what to say.

It's a bit extravagant to put such nine pieces of porcelain in such a big iron box, but when you think about the value of these nine pieces of porcelain, Yang Jing understands the thoughts of the little devils who buried these treasures at that time.

At that time, there was definitely one of the little devils who could be called everyone. Otherwise, this batch of porcelain would not be preserved so well, and the classification was so clear. In fact, if you really want to say it, you really thank yourself. Otherwise, these porcelain have been buried in that basement for so many years. Who knows what unpredictable situation will happen.

He shook his head. Yang Jing withdrew his mind from the space. He was really a little too excited. He needed to calm himself a little.

He got out of bed carefully, but he still made Ge Ge mutter in a low voice. After a short pause, watching Ge Ge turn around again and continue to sleep deeply, Yang Jing put on her pajamas, picked up a box of cigarettes and a lighter from the tea table, quietly walked out of the room, came to the balcony outside, lit a cigarette, looked at the night view of the city outside and felt the moist air.

After smoking a cigarette on the balcony, Yang Jing put out the cigarette end, carefully returned to the room, went to bed, and then sank into the storage space again.

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

Also, although nine pieces of extremely precious porcelain were pulled out of the box just now, almost all of them are small and medium-sized. Even if the nine pieces of porcelain are well protected, they can't even take up half the volume of the box.

Just now, Yang Jing patronized and appreciated the firewood kiln azure glazed daffodil bottle. Yang Jing directly ignored the lower half of the box covered by thatch. At this time, when he moved the box again, he realized that there seemed to be something else in the lower half of the box that had just brought him a great surprise.

Sure enough, when Yang Jing cleaned out all the thatch covered on it, the two things exposed in the lower half of the box made Yang Jing's heart shrink again.

These are two antique copper censers with a diameter of more than 20 cm!

Almost like the firewood porcelain just now, Yang Jing just took a look at the two incense burners, and immediately three words came out of her mind - Xuande stove!

There is no need to identify or study. Just one glance, Yang Jing can almost determine that these two antique censers are the legendary Xuande censers!

The so-called "big door" and the so-called "one eye goods" refer to the baby in front of us. Such a baby really does not need to be identified and refined, because this baby can always make people see its extraordinary place at a glance. Even a rookie who doesn't understand anything can also feel the difference between this baby and other items very clearly!

Just like the firewood porcelain just found, it is a rare treasure that can be seen at a glance, regardless of experts or rookies!

These two copper censers are like this!

"Is it really lucky? I just got a piece of firewood porcelain, and now I want to give me two legendary Xuande furnaces?" Yang Jing almost couldn't help laughing. It was really the baby in the big iron box that was so unexpected.

The so-called Xuande censers refer to the first batch of copper censers cast by Emperor Xuande of the Ming Dynasty, that is, Zhu Zhanji, the grandson of Emperor Yongle Zhu Di, when he became emperor. Because these copper incense burners are made of strict materials and the finished products are extremely exquisite, they have been imitated by later generations. From the middle and late Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, the Republic of China, and even modern times, countless people are imitating Xuande furnaces.

But as one sentence said, this Xuande stove is a real object that "only has been imitated and has never been surpassed"!

Although about 700 years have passed since Xuande furnace came into being, 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 batch of copper incense burners cast in Xuande's third year. Only those copper incense burners are qualified to be called "Xuande stove" or "xuanlu stove".

As the most famous censer in Chinese history, when it comes to Xuande stove, it has to mention Xuande Emperor Zhu Zhanji who ordered Xuande stove.

When Zhu Zhanji was born, Zhu Di, the great emperor of Yongle, had a dream that his father Zhu Yuanzhang gave him a big GUI and said eight words: "pass it on to his children and grandchildren, and it will be prosperous forever." Zhu Di thought it was a good omen. A few years later, Zhu Di launched the "Jingnan battle" that affected the process of the Ming Dynasty, and successfully became the son of heaven.

Perhaps because of this, Zhu Di loved Zhu Zhanji very much. Zhu Di often took him away from the capital to hunt. During the northern expedition to Mongolia, Zhu Di also intended to take Zhu Zhanji with him and temper himself in the wind and sand in the north.

At that time, everyone knew that Zhu Di really liked Zhu Zhanji, the grandson of the emperor, rather than his eldest son Zhu gaochi.

It was precisely because he received his grandfather's personal instruction from childhood that Zhu Zhanji became a very qualified emperor after he ascended the throne. Besides, Zhu Zhanji's father, Zhu gaochi, the emperor of Mingren, once planned to move the imperial court from Yanjing to Jinling. Mainly because Yanjing is too close to Mongolia. If the residual forces of the Yuan Dynasty fight back, Yanjing will bear the brunt.

To this end, Zhu gaochi methodically carried out some preliminary work, such as setting up Jinling Garrison and sending trusted generals and eunuchs to take command. At the same time, crown prince Zhu Zhanji was assigned to visit Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial mausoleum in Jinling and stay there to preside over the work. However, the death of Zhu gaochi before the implementation of the plan temporarily interrupted the plan.

After Zhu Zhanji ascended the throne, he made a wise decision now: 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 was willing to put the capital as close to the north as possible and personally perform the duty of "the son of heaven guarding the country".

Zhu Zhanji has a close second uncle named Zhu gaoxu. This guy is born with Kong Wuli and has extraordinary martial arts. When Zhu Di launched the Jingnan battle, Zhu gaoxu, as Zhu Di's second son, did not make less contributions to his father, so Zhu gaoxu thought 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 that time, ascended the throne, Zhu gaoxu was very dissatisfied, so this guy planned to learn from his father Zhu Di and launch an attack on the imperial court under the banner of "Qing monarch's side". However, Zhu Zhanji was not emperor Jianwen, nor was Zhu gaoxu Zhu Di. At the suggestion of the crown prince's young Fu, the great scholar of Jinshen hall and the Minister of industry Yang Rong, Zhu Zhanji fought in person, defeated Zhu gaoxu and captured him alive. And finally killed the rebellious second uncle.

After defeating Zhu gaoxu, Zhu Zhanji immediately summoned Zhu gaosui, king of Zhao, and hinted that he would hand over his military power. Zhu gaosui did not resist and obediently handed over his military power. In this way, the problem of King Pan, which has been perplexing the Ming Dynasty, has been satisfactorily solved.

At the same time, during Zhu Zhanji's ten years as emperor, he implemented the policy of resting with the people and actively developed agricultural production. Militarily, Zhu Zhanji, like his grandfather Zhu Di, fought many times against Mongolia and Neiping rebellion, maintaining the standing of the Ming Dynasty. Financially, Zhu Zhanji reduced or exempted punitive taxes in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River to develop the economy. Culturally, the implementation of a relatively loose and free cultural policy has led to the rapid development of cultural undertakings

In the end, Zhu Zhanji spent ten years, plus the year when his father was in office, to create a prosperous era comparable to the "rule of literature and scenery" - the rule of benevolence and publicity.

It can be said that Zhu Zhanji is indeed a very good and even a wise emperor. Xuande stove was ordered by the wise and artistic Emperor Xuanzong.
