Chapter 726
In terms of colors, this vase is even more exaggerated, combining magenta, fruit green, vitriol red, gold, turquoise green glaze, carmine red and blue materials;
In terms of craftsmanship, this bottle integrates various processes such as rolling, porcelain carving, hollowing, and centering.
This bottle is recorded in detail in the Qing Palace archives and was presented as a New Year's Day tribute to Haifu in the 30th year of Qianlong's reign.
Throughout the Qianlong official kiln wares, most of them cost less than five taels.
From the 28th to the 30th year of Qianlong's reign, the cost was more than 10 taels, but less than 20 pieces, such as the Yangcai Taiping Ruyi Zun silver 19 taels, and the Jiayao blue and white Eight Immortals gourd vase with fifteen taels.
The cost of revolving bottles is generally high, such as the Baizi Taiping large revolving bottle, which costs fifty-five taels of silver.
The most expensive one is this "Danfeng Laiyi Bottle Complete Piece", with the official record cost as high as sixty taels.
After entering the palace, the furnishings must be equipped with rare things. In the 22nd year of Qianlong's reign, he gave three colorful magnetic rotating vases with three bouquets of tooth flowers, one handle of jasper Ruyi, one handle of Xinshan Jade Ruyi, and two sweat jade chimes.
pieces;
Places where they are displayed include the Old Summer Palace, Ningshou Palace, Jehol Potala Temple, Yong'an Temple, etc. It is also mentioned several times in the archives that the revolving bottles were reserved for palace decorations during major festivals, which shows that they have a special status.
It should be regarded as a rare choice, a sign of auspiciousness, and deeply favored and cherished by emperors.
The full name of this bottle should be called "Imperial-made, rouge-red, ground-rolled, carved porcelain, hollowed out, phoenix coming, hundreds of birds paying homage to the phoenix, double-chill-eared large revolving vase". After Qianlong admired it, he dedicated it to himself.
's mother.
This bottle was found by Lin Wanqiu in the home of a diplomatic family in the Middle East through connections.
At that time, the old ambassador passed away, and his children dealt with his belongings and packaged the Asian "display items" and gave them to Lin Wanqiu.
Among them, there are mainly cultural relics from island countries, Thailand, and India, as well as many jade gems from Southeast Asia.
Lin Wanqiu was too busy and couldn't afford it due to lack of funds, so she packaged the Chinese cultural relics to her VIPs and organized an internal small auction to raise funds and thank the customers.
Zhou Zhi spent $800,000 to grab this bottle.
Mr. Ma also wanted it, but Mr. Ma didn't have much money. He couldn't even get a Qianlong pastel rouge red golden pheasant and peony vase worth 210,000 US dollars, so he borrowed 50,000 from Zhou Zhi to get it.
However, Zhou Zhi couldn't laugh at others, because at this year's Jiade auction, there was a Song Ge kiln eight-way ear vase, which also became his biggest regret due to the lack of money.
He paid 8 million for this piece of porcelain, which was all his working capital at the time, but it was still not enough.
If it was a red-jun kiln, Zhou Zhi might have had to sell it. However, because he already had a Ge Kiln fish basket stove, which was far superior in quality, he finally gave up.
After he let it go, the competition for this piece of porcelain was still fierce. Finally, after twenty more bids, it was sold at an outrageous price of 10 million.
With this piece of porcelain, Guardian became famous and became the largest auction house in Hong Kong Island.
In addition to the personal ones, there are many more things that happened during this period.
"The Legend of White Snake" premiered in mainland China, CCTV underwent a major overhaul, Intel officially released the Pentium processor, Hainan real estate collapsed, the "Wang-Koo Talks" were held, various local TV stations and radio stations were established, and Shanghai became the second largest city after BJ and Tianjin.
The third city with a subway, the "Galaxy Full Digital Simulation II" computer passed the national appraisal, Premier Zhu concurrently served as the governor of the People's Bank of China and began to rectify the financial order, Beyond's lead singer Huang Jiaju passed away in Japan...
In Zhou Zhi's mind, the third year of high school seems to be very long, but also too short.
It was so short that I felt like I was visiting Anleshan yesterday, and then had dinner at Wei Fei’s house to cheer everyone up, and now I am sitting in the examination room.
In the 1993 college entrance examination, there were six liberal arts subjects, 120 in Chinese and Mathematics, and 100 in English, Politics, History and Geography, with a total score of 640.
This year's exam is on July 7, 893, one month later than the college entrance examination in later generations.
The summer in Jiachuan was very hot this year, but heavy rain suddenly came for two days between exams, which made the weather cooler.
This has also caused flooding in some villages. In order to allow students to take the college entrance examination in time, village cadres in many villages have organized escort teams to protect students from arriving at the examination room safely.
Parents have come up with all sorts of weird and bizarre tricks since the Spring Festival, such as royal jelly, malted milk with eggs, fish heads, stewed pigeons with gastrodia elata... Anyway, I want to open the baby's head and pour the tonic into it to directly stimulate IQ.
Two hundred geniuses.
Of course, there is strong resistance to these considerations. Balanced nutrition and moderate exercise are the best ways to maintain energy. In this way, the number of pigeons that cannot stand on the roof is decreasing day by day.
The last day was geography and history. When Zhou Zhi walked out of the examination room, amidst the cheers of the candidates and the scattered books and papers that everyone frantically threw down the teaching building, he looked up at the pigeons hovering in the sky and said: "Your catastrophe is temporarily over.
Already."
"Elbow!" Mu Ruyun came over and grabbed Zhou Zhi's arm: "How did you do in the exam?!"
"What about you?" Zhou Zhi asked.
"That's just me. You know my strength is mathematics. I'm not very good at geography and history."
"Let's go, call everyone to the teaching and research office, let's review it!"
An important ability of a top student is that after taking the test, he can copy the test paper from his memory, write his own answers at the time, and basically know his test score.
Arriving at the teaching and research section, Zhao Shangzhong and several teaching and research team leaders were also waiting here.
Zhao Shangzhong took out a few papers: "I was afraid that it would affect everyone's performance a few days ago. I called you here today because you are the best students in our school. I want you to recall and estimate your college entrance examination scores.
.”
Zhou Zhi said: "You guys read it first, I will write down today's geography and history first."
No one expected such a thing to happen.
Wei Fei shook his head and took out several other science papers: "This year's math... is really difficult."
The mathematics paper in 1993 created the highest level of difficulty in the Sichuan Mathematics College Entrance Examination in the past fifteen years. Regardless of liberal arts or science, even Wei Fei and Mu Ruyun shook their heads.
In fact, this is not only true for mathematics, but also for other subjects.
When the scores were added up, everyone's expressions were not very good.
Zhao Shangzhong comforted him: "Don't be discouraged, everyone. We have to think like this. Even if it is difficult for us, it will be even harder for others."
"There is a saying in Sichuan that everyone rides everyone's horse, and no one can escape."
"Actually, it would be better if the test is more difficult, so that we can widen the gap. I estimate that there will be some changes in the score collection this year."
Seeing that everyone was silent, Jiang Shuyi spoke first: "I don't know how much I can get for the English composition. Based on the average score, I might be around 480."
"Wow, Shuyi, you did so well in the exam?!" Zhang Xinyi said, "I just did it, and it's at least five points lower than you."
"I'm not as good as you." Liang Hong said with a sad face: "I only have four hundred and five."
"You still have extra points for sports, and you are applying for a sports major." Zhao Shangzhong said: "You are the most reliable. Your first choice, Sichuan Sports Institute, has already been confirmed."
