Chapter 763 The pinnacle of Ming Dynasty

Indeed, this chair has many features that were not common in ancient Chinese chairs in the past, which even Mitsui Mitsui cannot deny.

“And the strict proportional relationship is the basis for the modeling of modern furniture. The proportion of parts to parts, the proportion of decoration and the overall shape of this Yulong chair are extremely uniform and harmonious, without unnecessary burdens, the rationalization in structure and the difference in shape. Artistic, fully displaying the concise, lively, and simple artistic style. It is good at blending elegance and vulgarity into a furnace, elegant and practical, and vulgarity is not offensive, so as to achieve the perfect unity of aesthetics, mechanics and function.”

Noda Yoshihiko’s comments on this jade dragon chair made Mitsui Takahiro and Kobayashi Kousuke quite agree, and in their opinion, Noda Yoshihiko’s comments on this chair seemed to be more professional.

“I think this chair should be a work of the Ming Dynasty in China, because the furniture of the Ming Dynasty in China can be said to be the golden peak of the history of ancient Chinese furniture, and even the Qing Dynasty cannot surpass it. This is similar to the jadeware of the Qing Dynasty in China. It is a truth that it is the peak of the development of jade in Chinese history. After the initial development of the Song and Yuan Dynasties, to the Chinese furniture in the Ming Dynasty, which combined Eastern and Western artistic styles, it finally reached the peak of Chinese furniture design. It occupies a very important position. The furniture of this period has a very exquisite structural craftsmanship and a distinct national style. It organically integrates design functions and spiritual functions. Its biggest feature is the selection of materials, craftsmanship, use function, Aesthetic habits are integrated to achieve a high degree of unity of science and artistry. Therefore, the furniture of the Ming Dynasty is the most peak work in the history of Chinese furniture.”

Noda Yoshihiko said that he shook his head, Mitsui Takahiko and a few others heard it righteously, and from Noda Yoshihiko’s words, they also heard that this guy had a high regard for furniture from the Ming Dynasty in China, or he didn’t. would give such a high rating.

Of course, these evaluations are not made by Yoshihiko Noda himself, but are recognized by experts in the world who study Chinese antiques.

Takawa Mitsui and Kousuke Kobayashi felt that what Yoshihiko Noda said was very reasonable. But Mitsui Mitsui on the other side was quite unhappy.

What do you mean, Noda? The Jade Dragon Chair I just mentioned is a work of the Qing Dynasty, so you pick it up and sing the opposite of me, right? I have to explain what is going on, what’s going on?

You smack my face, you’re addicted!

“Noda-kun. You can’t just rely on the shape and lines of this chair to say that this chair is from the Ming Dynasty, right?”

Mitsui Mitsui squinted and asked Noda Yoshihiko, Noda Yoshihiko was very graceful and replied with a smile.

“Of course not. The furniture of the Ming Dynasty has waisted and non-waisted furniture. The waisted furniture has square legs, straight legs, or three bent or drum legs. The shape is solemn and beautiful. The waistless furniture is round and round. The legs and feet are mainly used, and the shape is concise and stable. These two structural methods give people the feeling of being between the virtual and the real, and they have successfully reflected the beauty of the shape that integrates functionality and artistry. It is not only beautiful in shape, but also in structure. Science, mortise and tenon, sturdy and sturdy. The jade dragon chair we saw is a typical dragon chair without a waist. We can see it by looking at the legs.”

Noda Yoshihiko pointed at the ten round legs under the Jade Dragon Chair and said with a smile, while Mitsui Mitsui immediately blushed when he saw the four round legs.

What the heck, how could Lao Tzu know such an obscure knowledge?

At this time, he did not feel that he was not good at learning at all, but instead complained about the characteristics of this chair, which was too uncommon.

And seeing this, Mitsui Takawa and Kobayashi Kousuke were actually in their hearts. Already a little biased towards the judgment of Yoshihiko Noda.

“Moreover, most of the furniture in this period used tenon structure. Among them, tenons include open tenon, half tenon, grid angle tenon, long and short tenon, dovetail tenon, round tenon, chuck tenon and so on. There are many kinds of tenons to meet different connections. Craftsmen Using the hard and smaller component sections of fine wood to make precise mortise and tenon. It not only meets the needs of making connections, but also makes the furniture structure seamless. Therefore, the chairs of the Ming Dynasty, as long as they are used by high-end people, are almost 100% used. They are all spliced ​​structures. And the furniture in the Qing Dynasty began to be influenced by the western home style because of the gradual west wind. In the middle and late Qing Dynasty, many furniture have begun to use iron or wood wedges and other connectors. , and even in the later period, glue was used, so the furniture in the Ming and Qing Dynasties still had very obvious differences in the splicing structure.”

Noda Yoshihiko said it was tepid, but he was actually smacking Mitsui Mitsui’s face one after another.

His dissatisfaction with Mitsui Mitsui did not last for a day or two, especially after knowing that he was sacked by this guy.

This guy, not only did he cheat himself from the position of director of the Tokyo National Museum, but also took over his wife and children. He not only ruined his career, but also ruined his family. .

This is no less than the hatred of killing his father and taking his wife!

If it wasn’t for the power of the Mitsui family, Noda Yoshihiko would have wanted to kill this guy many times.

But because his family is still in Japan, if he kills Mitsui Mitsui, the big deal is that he will die with him, but the Mitsui family will inevitably take anger on his own family, so Noda Yoshihiko has always restrained himself towards this Mitsui Mitsui. resentment.

After returning from the United States, he has been swallowing his breath, pretending to know nothing, and lurking beside the Mitsui brothers, just to find a suitable opportunity for revenge.

Now that this opportunity has come, how can he miss it?

And now that Mitsui Mitsui actually brought his face close to him, he couldn’t miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

His explanation seemed to be unintentional, but Mitsui Mitsui sounded like this Noda Yoshihiko slapped himself with a left slap and a right slap one after another.

Looking at Mitsui Takawa and Kobayashi Kyousuke, they were fascinated, as if they didn’t respond to Noda Yoshihiko’s explanation, and it was not easy for him to turn his face.

If the two of them weren’t here, he would have jumped over and slapped Yoshihiko Noda, what a bastard.

To be so ignorant of praise, hum, it’s just a defeated general of Lao Tzu.

You wait for me. After this appraisal is over, I will copy your squid when I go back. By the way, after I go back, I will take care of your wife. I have to get that bitch. A half-dead, can relieve the anger in my heart.

Mitsui Mitsui pondered very darkly, watching Noda Yoshihiko’s words flying, he couldn’t help but ask another question.

“Noda-kun, you can’t just rely on the shape of this chair, the lines, and the legs of the stool to conclude that this must be the work of the Ming Dynasty? Although the furniture of the Ming Dynasty is indeed the pinnacle of ancient Chinese furniture, But the furniture production of the Qing Dynasty does not seem to be weak. And how can you guarantee that this chair is not imitated by the Qing Dynasty people according to the style of the furniture of the Ming Dynasty? After all, this jade dragon chair, the jade carving skills on it, seems Isn’t it something people from the Ming Dynasty can do?”

Mitsui Mitsui said this, and immediately doubts arose in the hearts of Mitsui Takawa and Kobayashi Kyousuke.

It is true that everyone knows that when it comes to antique furniture, the furniture of the Ming Dynasty in China is indeed the best, but when it comes to jade production, the Qing Dynasty in China is the peak era.

As for the jade dragon chair in front of me, in terms of furniture production, it does have obvious characteristics of furniture production in the Ming Dynasty, but it is all made of jade, and the patterns and statues on this jade material, as well as the carvings, are also It is top-level, and these characteristics are more in line with the characteristics of the jade carving process in the Qing Dynasty.

Mitsui Mitsui said, it seems that this chair is really likely to be made by a jade carving craftsman in the Qing Dynasty and a furniture craftsman.

Of course, Yoshihiko Noda also saw the doubts on the faces of Takawa Mitsui and Kobayashi Kousuke, so he smiled at them and said, “Of course I didn’t infer this chair just based on the shape, lines, or legs of the chair. It is from the Ming Dynasty. The reason why I say this one is only from the Ming Dynasty is mainly because of the poem carved on the back of this chair.”

After Yoshihiko Noda said this, Takawa Mitsui and Kyosuke Kobayashi immediately got close to the back of the Yulong chair. With the light in the room, they could see clearly that the back of the back of the chair was not only a dark engraving. It also has an ancient poem engraved in it.

The image of the pattern is a picture of “Han Magpie Fighting for Plum”~www.readmtl.com~ Looking at the carving method of Han Magpie Fighting for Plum, the creator seemed to take this jade board as a jade screen at first. It was created, and later because of the size of this screen, it was used as the back of a chair.

In the upper right corner of the pattern, there is also a miscellaneous poem: “The imperial system of ten lanterns, Si Nong will not suffer from poverty. Agarwood engraves a cold sparrow, and the price is 100,000.”

The meaning of this poem is very simple. It is about how well you can talk about your carver, and how precious and valuable the pattern you have carved is. It is very simple and straightforward, even with a bit of vulgarity.

To be honest, the artistic conception of this poem is very incompatible with this jade screen and the patterns carved on it.

After reading it, it is easy to make people feel that this master is really too vulgar.

And after Mitsui and the others understood, they raised their heads and looked at Noda Yoshihiko, and this guy smiled and said: “This poem is very vulgar, isn’t it? I also think it is too vulgar, but the Ming Dynasty There is a poem described in “Ming Palace Zayong” in Tingzhi, and the person who created this poem is even more amazing…” (To be continued.)
