Chapter 127 A Half-Understood Cognizer

On the auction table, an enamel porcelain was on display.

"Mrs. Bisso, do you like this one?"

Beside Yao Yan, Triss asked with a smile in her eyes.

He glanced at her, then picked up the cup on the table in front of him and brought it to his mouth.

However, halfway through this action, he suddenly froze.

Because, he recalled that when he was in middle school, he was fascinated by the "history" of Europe before and after the Napoleonic era.

To be specific, it was the images in movies and TV series.

Converted to the country where he lived before his death, it was probably the so-called photo studio style.

Gorgeous, conspicuous but not real.

During that time, a classmate who had a little more "knowledge reserve" than him told him that in fact, Europe at that time imported a large amount of Celestial porcelain, tea, folding fans and other things, so the European aristocrats of that time should be like the old man in the teahouse in the town, holding various enamel or blue and white porcelain-shaped tea sets.

After he learned about this in detail a year or two later, he also found the problem.

Large-scale imports are good, but the huge profits from this kind of handicrafts have made many local capitals developed from aristocrats try every means to join the business war.

A large number of imitations that seem to be true appeared in European countries such as Britain, France and Italy at that time.

And these seemingly true works also have local characteristics.

Because of the differences in culture, art, and values, although those porcelain craftsmen did imitate the porcelain of the Celestial Empire, the elements they used, such as flowers and birds, would unconsciously use the local plants and birds they were familiar with as standards.

In other words, if porcelain originated from Europe and was dumped in large quantities in the Celestial Empire, it would use various dragon and bird-related elements on it. In the Celestial Empire, craftsmen and painters would unconsciously add their own understanding because of aesthetics, and many dragon and phoenix characteristics would appear on it.

For example, a Western dragon with antlers, a Western dragon with long beards, a narrow body, and often snake-like dynamics, and when depicting a sacred bird, the phoenix element would be unconsciously added.

This is a phenomenon that is bound to occur in the course of historical development due to insufficient information exchange and low education levels. The amount is uncertain, but there will inevitably be dislocation.

Even if the upper class at that time knew about these imported products, they were always trying to climb up, and all kinds of actions were imitating the middle and lower classes of the upper class, and they did not have enough understanding of the form requirements of these things.

This is knowledge education, a gap in experience, not to mention that even in the upper class, there are many people who do not understand this.

These people prefer "imitations" that conform to their own aesthetics rather than those imported products of fundamentalism.

What they want is the skin, as long as it is "similar", as long as it can fool others, as long as their vanity can be satisfied, they don't care about what it actually looks like.

Under the influence of many aspects, when a cultural form spreads to another region, it will inevitably change in combination with the local area.

Even in modern times, there are many people whose impression of Europe is often limited to the rough combination of certain elements.

When it comes to the West, it is all kinds of Western food that has been deformed by Chinese style, and when it comes to dances, it is all kinds of vague dresses.

While thinking, why this world has eight-immortal tables and teapots, which are obviously out of place for him, Yao Yan has already had several ideas in his mind.

His fingers tapped the edge of the teacup with blue and white porcelain patterns, and Yao Yan narrowed his eyes slightly.

His main idea is the source of the spirit of this world. Those people, like him in middle school, have only a vague understanding of Europe, and only know the outline roughly, ignoring many differences in details, which is also a stereotype.

Where is the source?

Some non-European locals, who only heard about it from hearsay, even if they have personally experienced and observed it, are not detailed, and have only a vague understanding.

Another type is the local Europeans, who only have some understanding of the history of that era, but not in detail.

However

The shapes of these teapots, blue and white porcelain, and even enamel porcelain.

It is obvious that the spirit of this world is formed by his fellow countrymen.

However, I don't know what proportion.

He doesn't know what the formation rules of these spiritual worlds and trial spaces are, and which parts of the formation will involve which people's spirits.

But there is another problem.

The era of these people.

His and her eyes fell on the porcelain on the auction stand, and then turned to the tea sets of the guests on the tables in front of the seats around.

Recalling the porcelain that appeared at the previous banquet, Yao Yan confirmed one thing.

The vase introduced by the host as a palace vase from 320 years ago was named with a multi-segment name that people in his area rarely paid attention to during his lifetime, but it was greatly deformed.

And the shapes of those porcelains were also.

It felt like imitating for the sake of imitating.

He didn't seem to be from the same era as him.

Perhaps it was later than the era he was familiar with.

Before, he was wondering, are the spiritual sources that make up these trial spaces from the same era?

What about earlier eras?

However, he couldn't make a more detailed analysis of these differences.

"Even if it's the detective protagonist of a mystery novel, the knowledge reserve can't cover all aspects."

He couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Because of his wide range of hobbies, he will study things that appear in various games, novels, animations, TV series, and movies, so his knowledge reserve is not bad, but that's about it.

After all, he himself only had a partial understanding.

However, there is still a difference between 40% and 10%. Regarding myths and folklore, he may be able to achieve 70% or 80%, but for other aspects other than these, he may be the type who only knows 10%.

However, when he said these words, the girl next to her, Triss, suddenly lit up:

"Mrs. Bisso, do you also like detective novels!?"

"Yes, "The Flame at Twelve O'Clock" 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, many of the upper class people in this world liked detective novels.

after all

Although there are many types of detective novels in this world, the mainstream detective novels are basically related to phantom thieves, especially the handsome and glamorous phantom thieves in various depictions. From time to time, there are scenes of teasing ladies and ladies, and even a scene with the phantom thief. The romantic love story is loved by many ladies and ladies.

Another reason may be that only nobles are the largest asset owners, with various luxury goods, various works of art, and wonderful battles of wits. The Phantom Thief who steals various things from under the eyes of strict guards is more interesting than the ordinary ones. The heist looks better in every way.

only.

Are you a member of the Phantom Thieves?

It doesn't matter whether it is, after all, Yao Yan is just preparing to spread the story he made up on this occasion.

Mo Crow's ability has been verified in practice, and one of the influencing factors is the degree of communication.

Looking at Triss's smile, he spoke with an indifferent attitude and a gentle tone:

"I heard that the author of "The Twelve O'clock Flame", Peter Rees, wrote this story, which was inspired by an ancient book."

"An ancient book about the 'Fire Eaters'."

Mrs. Bisso's face was full of smiles.

But Triss couldn't help but feel shocked, and the smile on her face froze.

ps: I originally planned to go to Fujian along the coast, but I didn’t pay attention when I came, and I realized that there were several imported cases in Shanghai.

But it should be no problem. After all, it is a centralized quarantine and not nearby.

After that, choose a place where there are no big airports or the like. Although it is not illegal now, it may become illegal if you accidentally enter the code, so it will be miserable if you are strictly quarantined.

Does anyone know of any small places with nice views? I don’t want those tourist attractions that have a strong sense of Hengdian. I was tired of seeing Hengdian when I came to Zhejiang. Although it was quite shocking when I first saw it, it was just like that after seeing it more. After a closer look, it was full of interesting things.
