The style of this jar has suddenly become popular.

Nan Ye took the bottled water Yu Bang handed him and quickly took a sip to wet his throat.

After talking for so long, his throat was almost smoking.

Little did he know that Yu Bang was standing beside him, staring intently.

His heart was filled with disbelief.

This person is about a cycle younger than me, but his understanding of yuan blue and white porcelain is significantly better than mine.

Logically, someone of this caliber should also have some knowledge of other cultural relics.

But when he fished up the bronze turtle, why did he look so bewildered?

Could it be that he was pretending?

Or is it that he only studies porcelain and doesn't know enough about bronze ware?

Hmm, that must be it.

Without Nan Ye knowing, Yu Bang had already started making things up in his mind.

...

After drinking, Nan Ye continued to educate about the jar:

"Next, let's talk about the decoration.

The blue and white decoration on this large jar is divided into four layers, with reasonable composition, rich layering, and neat painting.

The first layer, the neck: decorated with water patterns.

The wave pattern is composed of two parts: ripples and waves.

The ripples are expressed with extremely fine brushstrokes, appearing radial or swirling. The wave patterns are drawn with thick lines that vary in weight, shaped like Buddha's hands.

The second layer, the shoulder: decorated with scrolling peonies.

The leaves vary in size, with traces of veins, some having five petals, others as few as three, arranged in a staggered manner, with dense flowers and leaves complementing each other.

The third layer, the belly: is the main decoration.

The blue and white decoration as a whole is rich and vibrant in color, the picture is full, with a good balance of density and sparsity, and the primary and secondary elements are distinct, forming a harmonious whole, which is truly wonderful.

The shading of the rocks is unrestrained and vivid, with every stroke precise and perfect.

Look at the figure pulled by a tiger and a leopard in the painting; the depiction is even more fluid and natural, full of spirit.

This person, leaning slightly forward, is composed and at ease, extraordinary like an immortal, as if strategizing within the tent and winning battles a thousand miles away.

He is none other than Guiguzi.

And I'm not just saying this randomly; there is evidence!"

Speaking of this, Nan Ye turned the jar around.

"Look here, two foot soldiers in front of the chariot clear the way with long spears, and a young general rides on horseback, holding a battle flag.

Look at the battle flag, doesn't it have the characters 'Guigu' (Guigu) on it?"

As the camera zoomed in, the Netizens in the live stream could clearly see it and were instantly shocked.

【Oh my god, it really has the characters Guigu painted on it, Guiguzi! My favorite historical figure.】

【No wonder Nan Ye said this was a 'guigu xiasan jar' from the beginning; it makes sense, he wasn't just talking nonsense.】

【I didn't expect this porcelain piece to depict Guiguzi; it definitely won't be cheap!】

【It definitely won't be cheap; Guiguzi is one of the sages after all!】

【...】

Liu Xuechi and the others were also seeing this jar for the first time and leaned in to look.

The characters 'Guigu' were indeed inscribed on it; Nan Ye wasn't talking nonsense.

At the same time, waves of emotion surged in their hearts.

This jar most likely depicts Guiguzi.

Guiguzi!

Hiss!

Incredible, this porcelain piece is truly incredible.

Although they were well-traveled and knowledgeable, this was the first time they had seen such yuan blue and white porcelain. How could they not be excited?

After Liu Xuechi and the others had processed it, they made way, and Nan Ye continued:

"Actually, I call this painting 'Guiguzi Descending the Mountain Scene,' and it's not something I just made up; it has a source.

It is identical to the woodblock print illustration in the Yuan Dynasty vernacular novel, 'Ping Xiang Quan Hua Yue Yi Tu Qi Qi Guo Chun Qiu Hou Ji'...

It describes the story of Sun Bin's teacher, Guiguzi, who, at the repeated request of the Qi envoy Su Dai, agreed to descend the mountain to rescue the famous Qi generals Sun Bin and Duguchen, who were trapped by the Yan state..."

Upon hearing this.

The surrounding audience, including the Netizens in the live stream, were somewhat dumbfounded:

【'Ping Xiang Quan Hua Yue Yi Tu Qi Qi Guo Chun Qiu Hou Ji'? What is that? How can Xiao Ge remember such a long book title?】

【A bit amazing, huh? Xiao Ge even pointed out which book this illustration comes from. Are you convinced or not?】

【Good heavens, I wonder where this book is; otherwise, I would definitely get it out and compare it right away.】

【It's actually the story of Guiguzi descending the mountain to save Sun Bin. I've heard of it, but I never expected this porcelain piece to depict this story. That's too incredible!】

【...】

Yes, if everything is as Nan Ye said, then the significance of this guigu xiasan jar is even more important than imagined.

Let alone the audience, even the old scholars like Liu Xuechi had incredulous looks on their faces.

Even us old guys didn't know about this, let alone those viewers.

Unbelievable.

Simply unbelievable!

Yu Bang, standing nearby, couldn't help it anymore and asked, "How did you know that the illustration in the book 'Ping Xiang Quan Hua Yue Yi Tu Qi Qi Guo Chun Qiu Hou Ji' is the source of this design?"

Yu Bang's question truly stumped Nan Ye.

I can't just say I have knowledge from two worlds, can I?

Wow, I feel like I've dug myself another big hole.

Indeed, some things shouldn't be said too much.

Saying too much is also a mistake!

If he remembered correctly, this book was a rare ancient edition overseas, collected by the Cabinet Library of Little Japan.

But in this world, he really didn't know where it had gone now.

Just as Nan Ye was considering how to smooth things over.

Liu Xuechi spoke first.

"Yu Bang, go look in the collection storage. I vaguely remember there seems to be such a book!"

Nan Ye stared blankly at Liu Xuechi. Could it be that here, this book wasn't lost?

He was a little surprised, and a little pleased!

At least it was better than being taken by Little Japan!

About ten minutes later, Yu Bang, wearing gloves, brought out a book.

Unfortunately, judging by the paper material, it was clearly not the original.

No wonder this museum had this book; it turned out to be just a printed copy.

Liu Xuechi saw the change in Nan Ye's expression.

He could read the look of regret in Nan Ye's eyes.

In this regard, he was exactly the same as himself.

Who wouldn't hope this was the original!

Yu Bang gently flipped through the book and finally found an illustration within it:

Indeed, there wasn't much discrepancy with the decoration painted on this jar.

Yu Bang's hands instantly trembled. Today, he had undoubtedly witnessed history.

How could he not be excited?

The live stream camera finally focused on this illustration:

【Getting goosebumps, everyone, aren't you? It actually matched up.】

【This is definitely not a coincidence. It means Xiao Ge has seen this book before and can remember its contents; otherwise, who could have thought of this?】

【Holy crap, Mom asked me why I was kneeling directly on the floor. I told her, come quickly and see the master!】

【He's truly a god; the prestige of this jar just shot up.】

【...】

Several old scholars also gathered around, picked up the book, and repeatedly compared it with the jar.

They kept exclaiming in wonder...
