——【Is the thinking so rigid? Why can't a comparison be made between the two?】

——【Why do you all think this would be very good-looking? Actually, I think this is also not good-looking.】

——【If this is also not good-looking, I think what you need to doubt is your own aesthetic.】

——【Finally someone said it's not good-looking; actually, I also think it's not good-looking.】

——【Yes, it's really not good-looking; the color scheme is very uncoordinated, there is no sense of being a unified whole.】

——【It really does make people feel irritable; the colors are very glaring.】

——【It's just a jar, after all; it's only time that has endowed it with value. What is precious is not the item, but time.】

——【If you knew how difficult it was to fire porcelain in ancient times, you wouldn't think that way.】

——【Does high difficulty conflict with it being not good-looking?】

——【I think they don't conflict, and the degree of preciousness of an item is not completely equivalent to whether it is a jar or a vase, don't you agree?】

——【You all keep talking about the Great Porcelain Mother, the Great Porcelain Mother; what does it actually look like?】

——【Qianlong is known as the "farmhouse" style; the aesthetic really isn't called that for nothing. You just need to look at more relics produced in the Qianlong period and you'll know; the flashy colors never have the beauty of simplicity.】

After digging out this Peach Blossom Copper glaze, Fang Yang's work could be considered finished.

Regarding this matter, he had no hesitation and directly explained the general situation to these people from the Cultural Relics Bureau.

"Is the work already finished? That also means there are no more relics to be excavated nearby, right?"

The people from the Cultural Relics Bureau looked obviously very disappointed.

However, Fang Yang was already used to the world of these people, so he didn't have much of a reaction to this at all.

When the other party said these words, he just nodded very affirmatively: "That's right, my work is finished, and now I can go back."

"Also, if you want to carry out excavation work in the future, remember, you must pay attention to personal safety issues."

They must have had considerations for choosing this place; on this point, Fang Yang was very certain.

He didn't even dare to speak casually at this moment; after all, influenced by the previous few cities, Fang Yang was now completely refusing the matter of working overtime.

Moreover, at this time, he really didn't speak casually; when the other party wanted to say something, he directly interrupted the other party's words.

And so, just as everyone was very disappointed and very reluctant to see him leave, Fang Yang left.

When he returned to the car, Fang Yang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It was just too great; he had originally really thought he would be kept by the other party again. Now it seems that running fast really has its benefits.

"Brother, everyone in the livestream room is very interested in the Great Porcelain Mother now. Can you please explain it well to the viewers in the livestream room?"

706. The ceiling of porcelain, the pinnacle of historical crafts! (Seeking full subscription)

The cameraman had hardly spoken today, and at this moment, he couldn't help but look at Fang Yang with expectant eyes.

"The Great Porcelain Mother is currently in the Palace Museum. If everyone is interested, you can search for it directly on the website to see what it looks like. I believe there must be many people on the website who have explained this aspect, so there is no need for me at all."

Fang Yang had no intention of explaining this aspect, but when the cameraman pointed the livestream at Fang Yang, Fang Yang fell silent.

These people were really looking forward to him explaining this aspect.

"I can explain this aspect."

After hesitating for a moment, Fang Yang said this: "However, I will only explain it a little bit; for the rest, you can search on the website yourselves, or those living locally can take some time to go to the Palace Museum to take a look, okay?"

Fang Yang spoke very seriously, and after everyone in the livestream room agreed, he took a laptop out of the car, connected to the wireless network, operated it quickly, and soon found the Great Porcelain Mother that everyone was very curious about.

His fingers tapped lightly on the screen twice.

"This Great Porcelain Mother can be called the ceiling of porcelain manufacturing."

"It can also be called the pinnacle of historical crafts."

"I just saw someone in the livestream room asking why this piece of porcelain is called the Great Porcelain Mother; this is what many people call it. As for the reason? It might not be clear."

"I just looked for photos of this Great Porcelain Mother from various angles; now, let's start by looking at the bottom."

"You are asking why the five characters 'Palace Museum' are on the bottom? You want to know if this is a replica?"

"Actually, it can't be said that way."

"This Great Porcelain Mother is a replica authorized by the Palace Museum. Some people might think this is a fake, that it's bad, but in reality, it's not like that at all."

"Many people now say that the relics in the museum are fake, that they are replicas, that the real ones were stolen and sold, or some other speculation. Now, I will explain it to everyone here."

"It's not that they are replicas or were stolen and sold, but that in our China, many national treasure-level relics are often taken abroad for exhibitions, and the journey is very long; we are afraid that some accidents might occur, or that they might suffer some bumps."

"And so, under these circumstances, we might use its replica to replace the real one for the exhibition."

"This is actually a recognition of the craftsmanship of national treasure-level relics."

"Look at this relic, at the position of its mouth; this circle is rouge red."

"The 'ba-hua' enamel color."

"It has a circle of lotus vine patterns."

"And this part below is actually enamel color, but it is combined with a turquoise-based color glaze."

"And this color glaze was much more expensive than gold at that time."

"One piece of turquoise is worth 10 grams of gold."

"Including all the yellow circles on it."

"They are all painted using 24k real gold."

"On the entire vase, gold as a raw material is actually the cheapest kind."

"Let's look at the vine patterns painted in blue and white in the middle; if you look closely, it looks like a phoenix, and this is the phoenix's head."

"And its entire body uses vine patterns to make a phoenix tail decoration."

"This can also be considered an innovation in the patterns of the Qianlong period at that time."

"The pattern on the belly in this circle below is the most brilliant part of the entire vase."

"……"

707. The aesthetic of the Chinese people? Flashy is not as good as simple! (Seeking full subscription)

Fang Yang had originally only wanted to talk about this Great Porcelain Mother simply, but as he spoke, he couldn't help but say a bit too much.

【Popularity】 +1+1+1+1.

……

——【Although it looks very tacky from today's perspective, it was definitely a beautiful luxury item at the time. And everything was handmade back then, which is much better than today's bags that cost tens of thousands just for sticking a logo on a piece of trash.】

——【The national glaze-colored large vase is really very good-looking; several years ago, they even released a matching Hanfu, which was quite beautiful.】

——【But this doesn't fit the aesthetic of the Chinese people at all; making a piece of porcelain so flashy.】

——【Who can represent the Chinese people? Some people like it and some people don't; this is a very normal thing.】

——【All flashiness will eventually return to simplicity, really, no joke.】

——【So many national treasure-level relics in the museum are replicas, then it wouldn't matter even if they were accidentally dropped and broken, right?】

——【Although this was made by a modern master of crafts, compared to the real thing, it's really quite poor.】

——【This is simply having nowhere to spend money, so it's tacky to the core.】

——【If I'm not mistaken, this should be fired by Master Huang; sigh, except for the Huang kiln, others are a bit difficult.】

——【I feel like Fang Yang's luck on the internet is not very good; he just randomly looked for a picture and actually found a fake one directly.】

——【In real life, everything he finds is real, but on the internet, everything he flips through is fake; can this be considered another kind of contrast cuteness?】

——【Suddenly want to see Fang Yang play games and draw cards.】

——【What kind of joke is that? Fang Yang absolutely cannot waste time on such meaningless games.】

——【Some people are very addicted to games and want to drag others into the water; it's really excessive.】

——【It's better not to pay attention to these guys; let us all take a good look at what this relic looks like. When I have money in the future, I can take a plane to see the real thing locally. Comparing the two, I think I will definitely be able to distinguish which is the real one and which is the replica very quickly.】

——【The craftsmanship is very exquisite, but it gives people a very vulgar feeling.】

——【Although it's a bit vulgar, the craftsmanship is truly at the pinnacle.】

——【Low-key living is a kind of infinite elegance.】

——【I thought it would be how ugly it was; looking at it this way, it's actually okay.】

——【The craftsmanship is at the pinnacle, but Qianlong's aesthetic is really very average.】

——【I don't know if it's because we were teasing him, but Fang Yang has already changed the picture, directly changing it to a picture of the real thing.】

——【Hahahaha, for the first time, I realized that Fang Yang is actually so funny.】

——【Just looked at the replica, and now looked at the real thing, and realized these two are really very different.】

——【Yes, the real thing is very good, it looks more delicate, while the replica looks slightly rougher.】

Just as those in the livestream room were discussing, if you take them out individually, you would feel there is no difference between them.

But if the real thing and the replica are placed together, you can see which one is the real one.
