Chapter 0789 – Mountain Wood

“Mr. Xu, although these objects of yours are made in both form and spirit, they are still missing something.”

Xu Guoqing was not interested in who was outside, as a guest, Zhuang Rui naturally had no reason to be nosy, maybe it was just a door-to-door fee collector!

Just now Zhuang Rui and Xu Guoqing said the broken, in fact, or a little bit of strong words.

In the appraisal of others, this reason is not on the stage, you can not tell others that, just because you are too perfect, so it is fake it? That will definitely be spit in the face.

“Zhuang Rui, what else is broken? Tell me, is it in the craftsmanship?”

Xu Guoqing’s eyes immediately lit up after hearing Zhuang Rui’s words, he repaired the ancient kiln to burn the ancient porcelain, completely because of his personal hobby, of course, this kind of hobby is slightly fanatic just.

“Not the craftsmanship, Xu Gong, from the craftsmanship, you fired the three-colored ceramic figurines, has been flawless, but although you can burn the Tang three-colored charm, but that there is still less of a historical precipitation and vicissitudes.”

Zhuang Rui saw Xu Guoqing some do not understand, then said: “I once pulled out a Shang Zhou bronze sword, legend has it that this sword in the owner encountered danger, can automatically sheath the warning, the sound of the sword, I personally feel that this is the history or the makers, to give the object of a spirituality. This spirit can cause people’s deepest resonance, can let people feel the vicissitudes of history, the rise and fall of dynasties, the silent course of civilization development and progress. Xu worker you produce these Tang three color, although exquisite exceptionally impeccable, but which is less this in the long river of history precipitated in the heaviness, in the eyes of the old generation, is able to feel this point.”

Zhuang Rui’s these words is not a letter, things have spirit is not a fool’s words, not to say that Zhuang Rui’s eyes, not to talk about the appraisal of masters in the line, that is, those who are often digging graves and robbing graves of the grubs, handled by the object more, will have this feeling.

Just like why modern people like to wear some jade jewelry, beautiful decoration is certainly one of the reasons, but jade is also very important to have spirituality.

Let’s say, if you can personally disk on a good piece of jade, experience a decade and two decades, then your perception of this piece of jade, will absolutely change radically, there will be a feeling of fusion, which is definitely not a feudal superstition, have the conditions of friends can try.

Topic back, as for these three-color vessels, once by a number of “experts” identified as authentic, there is a reason, one to they really can not find a break, the second identification “cost” solid, there is a hole in the open road, the literati will also fold.

“I know, I made these things, but did not give them a soul, but …… but this is not my decision ah!”

Xu Guoqing think clearly about this link, can not help but be a little bitter, the so-called accumulation of history and precipitation, that can not be imitated by doing the old, that kind of thickness, can only experience the vicissitudes of the years and the mountains and rivers change, in order to be able to show in the object.

“Xu Gong, have you not thought of, to do their own things, give it soul and life? Although you can’t call it an antique, but with your craftsmanship, which is not at all below those great craftsmen of the ancient times, why can’t the things you make become treasures that people will clamor to own thousands of years from now?”

In a careful look at Xu Guoqing painting color those porcelain embryos, Zhuang Rui is forgetting the purpose of their own this time to come. In Zhuang Rui’s opinion, Xu Guoqing’s attainments in porcelain making are even better than those in ancient times.

“Me?”

Xu Guoqing was Zhuang Rui said froze for a moment, and then waved his hands, said: “No, no, I am a hobby.”

“Xu Gong, don’t be presumptuous, more than a thousand years ago, the ancients left us the Tang Three Colors, left the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing porcelains, these precious works of art, but after another thousand years, what can we leave for future generations?”

Zhuang Rui interrupted Xu Guoqing’s words, and then said, “Could it be that what we leave to our descendants are artifacts produced by assembly lines? And what is that which represents the bearer of our era?”

Zhuang Rui hadn’t thought about this problem before, but after seeing Xu Guoqing as a person and the things he produced, a string was touched in Zhuang Rui’s heart, nowadays there are fewer and fewer craftsmen, and those who can be called as masters in various traditional industries are already a rare breed.

“Can I …… I really do it?” Xu Guoqing’s eyes lit up.

Zhuang Rui nodded and said, “Of course I can, to put it in a not so humble way, the only modern crafts that can make me unable to find a single flaw from the artifact itself is your work, Mr. Xu.”

“Good, then I’ll give it a try, I used to think about imitating ancient porcelains, my mind hadn’t thought about creating something on my own at all, this is a whole new field, it’s worth challenging me.”

The more Xu Guoqing said, the more excited he became, but after his eyes glanced around this huge laboratory, he couldn’t help but deflate, “But …… now I’m going bankrupt, I can’t afford to support such an experiment anymore.”

After Xu Guoqing finished speaking, his face was a bit ugly, he had imitated ancient porcelain for so many years, naturally he knew that it cost a huge amount of money, with his current financial resources, I’m afraid that even the money to hire a car to pull the porcelain clay from Magnetic County was gone.

“No, Mr. Xu, you have the money, as long as you agree to my conditions, I will build you one of the most advanced research institutes in the world in Japan, so that your artifacts will become one of the most popular artifacts in the world.”

Just as Xu Guoqing’s words fell, a voice came from the doorway, although the words were spoken in Chinese, they were very raw, and from the words, the few people in the room could hear that it was a Japanese.

“Old Yu?”

Xu Guoqing did not pay any attention to that voice, but instead raised his pitch and shouted Yu Zhengjun with a slight huff.

Yu Zhengjun, who had just gone out to open the door, had some embarrassment on his face and snorted, saying, “Old Xu, all visitors are guests at the door, I can’t kick others out, right? We have something to sit down and talk about!”

Although Yu Zhengjun also disliked the Japanese, but some time ago his transportation company wanted to transform into a modern logistics company, it was with this Japanese cooperation, both sides have relied on each other, so Yu boss is also difficult.

“Go out and talk, my lab is only for guests to enter.”

Xu Guoqing glanced at Yu Zhengjun somewhat unhappily and walked quickly to the door, blocking the path of that Japanese who had just opened his mouth to speak.

With the master out, Zhuang Rui and the others were too embarrassed to remain in the lab, and the group reentered the outer room, finding that there were three more people in the room besides Yu Zhengjun and Xu Guoqing.

“Mr. Xu, please forgive me for my presumptuousness last time, and please believe in my sincerity, this factory, is still yours, as long as you are willing to go to Japan with me, I will provide you with the best laboratory in the world, and every year, I will give you no less than three million US dollars for research, so that you can imitate the exquisite porcelains of your dynasty during the Great Song Dynasty.”

The Japanese man in the room, who was only about one meter six and a half, probably in his early fifties, immediately made a ninety-degree bow to Xu Guoqing after saying this, even Zhuang Rui and the others felt his sincerity.

Xu Guoqing shook his head and said very firmly, “I’m sorry, I won’t leave China, and even if I imitate the porcelain of the Magnetic State Kiln, it belongs to China, not you Japan.”

“Mr. Xu, art knows no boundaries.” The Japanese made another ninety-degree bend.

“Damn, this little Japanese don’t even have spinal disease, right?”

Zhuang Rui look straight waist pain, the Japanese that modest appearance inside, buried are wolves wild heart, anyway, Zhuang Rui on the small Japan is not a trace of good feelings.

Besides that the Japanese people claim to provide Xu Guoqing the most advanced laboratory words, but also let Zhuang Rui a little upset, is it only your Japanese focus on traditional crafts?

But then again, the domestic on this piece is really not much attention, at most, just shouting slogans, protect what intangible cultural heritage, the real gun a penny has not paid out.

“Boss Yu, what’s going on here?”

Zhuang Rui took advantage of Xu Guoqing and that little Japanese gabbing time, pulled Yu Zhengjun a hand, walked to the side a few steps.

After Yu Zhengjun heard Zhuang Rui’s words, he sighed and said, “Alas, Mr. Zhuang, this Japanese is called Yamagi Dairou, he is the president of a big Japanese corporation.”

“Let’s not talk about this, let me ask what this brat means, inviting Xu Gong to Japan is to make porcelain?”

Zhuang Rui skimmed his mouth, interrupted the words of Yu Zhengjun, the name of the little Japan is the most TM no connotation, before the Meiji Restoration, Japan only the Chinese, nobility, and magnates have surnames, while the commoners have a name without a surname.

In the early Meiji era, in order to create a household register, tax and levy, laborers began to have surnames. As a result, names of places, fields, births, family lines, occupations, residences, house numbers, tools, and even the names of plants and animals became the basis for choosing a family name.

Japan did not have their own culture at all, it was all stolen from China, just like the Korean sticks, they are all things that don’t recognize their mothers after eating their milk.

“Mr. Zhuang, you do not see that this person was brought by me before, but I did not withdraw ah! This little kid then pestered old Xu, this time even more even the city called, I can’t say anything now.”

Zhuang Rui really asked the right person, this thing is really Yu Zhengjun to get up, the ins and outs of no one more clear than him.

Yamagi dalang’s business, enter China a little late, and the automobile industry and other things are not touching, now in addition to investing in Yu Zhengjun’s logistics company, but also ready to do some industry in Gao Yi.

Some time ago, Yamagi Dairou was under the leadership of the Zhengjun, originally wanted to buy Xu Guoqing’s plant, did not think that this little kid after seeing Xu Guoqing’s skills, but changed his mind.
