Chapter 281: Strange Porcelain


It was already past two o'clock in the afternoon when I came out of Professor Tang's house.

At noon, I drank a little wine with Aunt Gao, and Gege's little face looked particularly delicate.

Originally, Yang Jing wanted to send Gege back to let her rest, but this girl said that she wouldn't do anything, and she had to accompany her to finish shopping the other half of the campus that she hadn't visited.

As a result, the two of them walked around until it was getting dark.

Gege's grandmother called and asked her to take Yang Jing home for dinner in the evening.

When Yang Jing came to pick up Gege in the morning, this girl told her grandmother.

So, in the evening, Yang Jing had dinner with Gege's grandmother.

But at dinner, there were just three of them, Gege's mother and aunt didn't come back, and Gege's uncle and family of three were all out of town, so only the three of them ate this meal together.

Gege's grandmother obviously likes Yang Jing very much, and Yang Jing also likes this cheerful old lady very much, one old and one young said a lot, and Yang Jing didn't say goodbye until more than nine o'clock in the evening.

Of course, Yang Jing wanted to bring Gege out, but this girl was soft-skinned and didn't follow Yang Jing out of anything, so in desperation, Yang Jing had to stay alone in the empty room Lonely and unbearable, Yang Jing simply launched the "Restricted Time and Space Shuttle" skill and ran to the vicinity of Chaotian Palace at three o'clock in the morning on July 10, 1982.

Chaotian Palace is a famous tourist attraction in Jinling, and it is also the largest antique market in Jinling.

As the saying goes, "there is Panjiayuan in the north and Chaotian Palace in the south", which is enough to prove that the Chaotian Palace antique market is famous.

It's just that in 1982, the Chaotian Palace antique market had not yet been established.

However, in the vicinity of Chaotian Palace at this time, the ghost market is very famous.

If you want to talk about the ghost market sooner or later, the ghost market in Yanjing can't catch up with the ghost market in Chaotian Palace.

How long has the ghost market of Chaotian Palace appeared?

This is impossible to study at all, but one thing can prove that the ghost market of Chaotian Palace existed at least during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty.

Mr.

Gu Qiyuan's notes in the Wanli period have a record of "Jinling City Heyueguangli".

In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, the ghost market in the Chaotian Palace area was even more prosperous, and in that era, the teahouse on Ping Shi Street was the main place for the old and young relics of the former Ming Dynasty to trade the treasures they treasured.

These old and young relics of the previous dynasty had a good face and were unwilling to go to the ghost market to trade like those Tufuzi, so they talked about business in this more elegant teahouse, and gradually, Pingshi Street became the most prosperous antique market in that era.

However, with the rapid decline of those who left the old and the young, the prosperity of Ping Shi Street soon ceased.

More people are still active in the area of Shuiximen, Mochou Road and Tangzi Street, and the time of trading has been postponed from dusk to night, and then before dawn.

At that time, the name "ghost market" was rarely called anymore, but "black market".

Before dawn, "the sky is dark, the people are black, the goods are black, and the price is black", thieves, second-class dealers, old and young people of all shapes and sizes gather here during this period of darkest days, and stolen goods, fake and shoddy fakes and other items are used to the extreme, becoming the most chaotic area in Jinling City at that time.

Later, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the name of the black market was too ugly, and the name "ghost market" from the north was more appropriate, so the black market in the area near Chaotian Palace gradually recovered to become the earliest "ghost market".

But if you want to talk about the origin of the name "ghost market", it is said that it can be traced back to Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

In the local folklore of Jinling, it is said that after Zhu Yuanzhang built the capital of Nanjing, he passed by a temple when he visited Weifu, which was later Chaotian Palace, and ate a bowl of somen noodles for pilgrims to eat, and praised it.

After returning to the palace, he also asked the imperial dining room to make it, but who knew how the imperial kitchen couldn't make it.

When Queen Ma sent the little eunuch to the Taoist temple to check, she found that the somen noodles were originally made of broth.

The Taoist priest didn't say anything about killing, but also made the unsuspecting pilgrims confused.

When Zhu Yuanzhang learned about it, he was furious and ordered to kill a group of Taoist priests in the Taoist temple.

Later, after the formation of a night market in the Chaotian Palace, one day the stalls were closed at dawn, and many stall owners found that the money in hand was fake, and what was even more terrifying was that these fake money turned out to be the dead people's dead coins!

At the beginning, the stall owners cursed the unscrupulous Xiaoxiao, and later some people thought that there had been many Taoist priests here.

Some people suspect that this is the intersection of the two worlds of yin and yang, Qingming Festival, Zhongyuan Festival, children and grandchildren paid some paper money, those Taoist priests who were killed by Zhu Yuanzhang naturally couldn't spend it during the day, and they came to shop at night, and by the way, they spent the "money" of these descendants who were filial piety At night, the stall owners couldn't see it, but the next morning, as soon as the dark coins saw the sun, they naturally appeared.

As a result, the name of "ghost market" quickly spread This legend is a bit scary, but it explains the origin of this "ghost market" very well.

Yang Jing went to college in Jinling for four years, during which he came to the Chaotian Palace antique market countless times, and he naturally heard these legends about the ghost market of Chaotian Palace more than once or twice.

Although this legend is a bit scary, Yang Jing doesn't believe in those things at all, especially when Yang Jing was in college, he heard many people say that in the early eighties, there were some good things in the ghost market of Chaotian Palace, and someone spent a dozen yuan to buy something and what old things were opened The ghost market produces good things, whether it is in the ghost market in Yanjing, the ghost market in Chaotian Palace, or even the early ghost markets across the country, it is a fact that is close to the truth.

Especially in the 80s of the last century, the ghost market of that era was synonymous with "good things", "old objects" and even "wide opening"!

Yang Jing, the ghost market of Panjiayuan in Yanjing in the nineties, has personally experienced it, and there are many old objects and good things that are jaw-dropping.

But Yang Jing has never felt the ghost market of Chaotian Palace, so since it is lonely tonight, it is better to go back to the past and find some good things.

The winter in Jinling is very tormenting, Yang Jing didn't want to be frozen early in the morning, so he simply chose the hottest season in July to wear it, at least in the early morning of summer, the weather is still relatively comfortable, the most suitable for Taobao or something.

The location where Yang Jing crossed over was set outside the south wall of Chaotian Palace.

In the 80s, the Chaotian Palace antique market has not been moved to the area of Cangxiang, Anpin Street and Nanyi Back Street, and the area of Chaotian Palace West Street, which is located in the west of Chaotian Palace, was the most prosperous antique market at that time, and the ghost market is also on this northwest-southeast street.

In 1982, there were no high-rise buildings in the vicinity of Chaotian Palace, and in this era, it was full of bungalows.

Moreover, the very spacious Chaotiangong West Street in later generations is now a small road less than ten meters wide.

Yang Jing adjusted his appearance to the appearance of his thirties, and then walked out of the bushes on the south wall of Chaotian Palace, even if someone saw it, they thought that he had just finished relieving his hands there The sky was dark and nothing could be seen, but in another hour or so, it should be bright.

Yang Jing quickly walked to Chaotiangong West Street, but to Yang Jing's slight disappointment, this place was far inferior to the Panjiayuan ghost market in 1994.

At least whether it is setting up stalls or buying things, it is far less than the number in the Panjiayuan ghost market.

But it's a relief to think about.

It's only 1982, and in this era, there aren't many people who dare to risk going out of the ghost market, and even those who come to visit the ghost market are not very many.

In fact, since the beginning of the Republic of China, the area from Hanzhong Road to Chaotian Palace has become the largest antique trading and distribution center in Jinling, and later antique transactions are still concentrated in Mochou Road, Chaotiangong West Street, and Tangzi Street.

It was not until the mid-fifties that the government reformed it, stipulating that it could only enter the market at dawn, and measures were taken to prevent thieves from selling stolen goods.

Later, in that turbulent era, the powerful "broken four olds" appeared, and in that era, not to mention the antique trade, even the second-hand goods trade had no room to survive.

It was not until the end of the 70s, after the end of that chaotic era, that the area around Chaotiangong West Street gradually resumed its former antique market, and similarly, ghost markets also appeared.

However, until 1982, the scale of the ghost market here is still not very large.

Those dealers or antique lovers also sneak over when it's dark.

But at this time, there are still a lot of good things on the ghost market here, unlike a few years later, it has become a professional used book market Not long after Yang Jing walked around this ghost market, his attention was attracted by a stall.

With the help of the dim battery lamp on the stall, Yang Jing could clearly see that all the porcelain on the stall was full of flowers.

It's just that these porcelains are very different from the porcelain that Yang Jing is familiar with, both in terms of color and shape.

This kind of porcelain with a peculiar shape and bright colors immediately made Yang Jing interested, which made him quickly squat down in front of this stall.

Whether it is the shape or color of these porcelain, Yang Jing feels a little inexplicable.

It was really hard for him to think of a time when the color of porcelain could be compared to the porcelain in front of him.

If the porcelain fired by the ancestors of China is compared to an elegant ink landscape painting, then the porcelain in front of you is like a brightly colored oil painting In addition to the color, the shape of these porcelains was also very different from the porcelain type of any dynasty that Yang Jing had ever seen.

Although these porcelains look quite beautiful, they give people the feeling that they lack a kind of atmosphere and stability, as if there is a vague feeling of "painting a tiger is not an anti-dog".

After staring at these porcelains for a long time, an idea popped into Yang Jing's mind.

"These porcelains are none other than this"
