Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-Three The Knower
An enamel porcelain is on display at the auction table.
"Madam Bisso, do you like this?"
Tris asked with a smile beside Yao Yan.
He glanced at her, then twisted up the cups on the table in front of him and sent them to his mouth.
However, halfway through this action, he was stunned for a moment.
Because, he recalled that during his middle school years, he had a period of obsessed with the European "history" around the Napoleon era.
To be clear, they are the images in movies and TV series.
To convert to the country where he lived, it is probably the so-called studio style.
Gorgeous, conspicuous but not real.
During that time, classmates who had a little more "knowledge reserve" than him told him that in fact, Europe in that era imported a large number of Tian Dynasty porcelain, tea, folding fans and other things, so the European nobles in that era should have tea sets made of various enamel or blue and white porcelain like old men in the teahouse in the town...
After he learned about this in detail a year or two, he also found problems.
It is good to import a large amount of money, but the huge profits of this kind of handicraft have made many local capitals developed by the aristocrats try every means to join the business war.
A large number of specious imitations appeared in European countries such as Britain, France and Italy at that time.
And these plausible works also have local characteristics.
Because of the differences in culture, art and values in all aspects, although those porcelain craftsmen do use the porcelain of the Celestial Empire as their imitation goal, the elements they use, such as flowers and birds, will unconsciously use the local plants and birds they are familiar with as standard.
To change the expression, if the porcelain originated from Europe and was dumped in large quantities into the Celestial Empire, various elements related to dragons and birds were used on it. In the Celestial Empire, craftsmen and painters would unconsciously add their understanding because of aesthetics, and many characteristics of dragons and phoenixes would appear on it.
For example, a Western-style giant dragon with deer antlers, such as a Western-style giant dragon with long beards, narrow and long body, and often serpentine dynamic portrayal. When depicting a sacred bird, the elements of the phoenix will be added unconsciously.
This is a phenomenon that will inevitably arise in historical development due to insufficient information exchange and education level, with more and less uncertainty, but there will inevitably be misalignment.
Even though the upper class at that time understood these imported products, they were always thinking about climbing up, and all kinds of actions were imitating the middle and lower class people in the upper class, and they did not have enough understanding of the shape requirements of these things.
This is knowledge education, the gap in experience, not to mention that even at the top, there are many people who don’t know about it.
These people tend to be "imitations" that conform to their aesthetics rather than those imported from fundamentalism.
What they want is that skin, as long as they "like" and as long as they can fool others, as long as their vanity can be satisfied, they are not concerned about what it actually looks like.
Under multiple aspects, if one cultural form spreads to another region, it will inevitably undergo changes in combination with the local area.
Even in modern times, many people's impression of Europe is often limited to the rough combination of certain elements.
Speaking of the West, there are all kinds of Western food that have been transformed by Chinese style, and when it comes to dance parties, there are all kinds of vague dresses.
While thinking about why there are items like the Eight Immortals Table and the Pot in this world that obviously make him feel misplaced. Yao Yan already had several ideas in his mind.
Yao Yan narrowed his eyes slightly as he tapped his fingers on the edge of the teacup with blue and white porcelain patterns.
His main idea was to form the source of the spirit of this world. Those people, like he did in middle school, had only a slight understanding of Europe, but only knew the outlines roughly, ignored many differences in details, which was also a stereotype.
Where is the source?
Some non-European locals, who only hearsay, even if they have experienced and observed it personally, they are not detailed and have only a few understandings.
Another type is that the local Europeans only have some understanding of the history of that era, but they do not have any details.
but.......
These pots, blue and white porcelain, and even enamel porcelain...
It is obvious that the constitutive member of the spiritual formation of this world has his fellow countrymen.
But I don't know how much it accounts for.
He did not know what the formation rules of these spiritual worlds, these trial spaces were, and which parts would be formed by whom spiritually participated.
However, there is another problem.
The times of these people.
His eyes fell on the porcelain on the auction booth, and turned to the table in front of the surrounding seats, on the tea sets of guests.
Recalling the porcelain that appeared at the banquet before, Yao Yan confirmed something.
The palace vase introduced by the host as a palace vase 320 years ago was called a multi-paragraph name that people rarely pay attention to in the area during his lifetime, but... it is very deformed.
And the shapes of those porcelains are also the same.
I feel like imitating for the sake of imitation.
He doesn't seem to be from the same era as him.
Perhaps later than the time he was familiar with.
Before, he was thinking, are the spiritual sources that formed these trial spaces all from the same era?
What about an earlier era?
However, he was unable to analyze these differences more carefully.
"Even the detective protagonist of a mystery novel, his knowledge reserves cannot cover all aspects."
He couldn't help but say something to himself.
Because he has a wide range of hobbies, he can study various games, novels, animations, TV series, and movies, so his knowledge reserves are pretty good, but that's all.
After all, he only had a slight understanding.
However, there is still a difference between 40% and 10%. In terms of myths and folklore, he may be able to reach 70% and 80%, but for other aspects, he may be the type who only knows 10%.
However, just as he said this, the girl Triss next to him lit up:
"Madam Bisso, do you like detective novels too!?"
"Yes, "Twelve O'clock Flame" is my favorite detective novel."
Yao Yan responded.
He did not make it up because Mrs. Bisso did like detective novels, or in other words, there are many people in the upper class in this world who like detective novels.
after all......
Although there are many types of detective novels in this world, the mainstream detective novels are basically related to monster thieves, especially various handsome and beautiful monster thieves, and sometimes there are scenes of teasing the lady and the lady, and even a romantic love story with the monster thieves, which are loved by many wives and ladies.
Another reason may be that only the nobles, as the largest asset owners, have various luxury goods, various artworks, and wonderful battles. The stolen thieves who are now stealing all kinds of things from strict guards are more attractive than ordinary robberies in all aspects.
only.....
Are you a member of the thief?
Whether it doesn’t matter, after all, Yao Yan is just going to spread the story he made up on this occasion.
After actual verification, Mo Ya's ability is one of the factors that affects it is the degree of transmission.
Looking at Tris' smile, he was indifferent and said in a gentle tone:
"I heard that this story written by Peter Ris, the author of "The Flame of Twelve Os," was inspired by an ancient book."
"An ancient book about the 'fire eater'."
Madame Bisso's face was full of smiles.
But Tris was shocked, and the smile on his face was a little frozen.
ps: I originally planned to go down the coast to Fujian, but I didn’t pay attention when I came, so I found out that there were several imported cases in Shanghai...
But it should be fine, after all, it is centralized isolation and is not nearby.
After that, I chose places like no big airport. Although it is not yellow now, maybe if a person accidentally gets yellow, he will be so bad that he will be in strict isolation.
