My system is not decent

Chapter 1106

Yuan blue-and-white plum vases could not be made because there was no macang soil, so the Ru kiln blue-glazed plum vases in the Northern Song Dynasty would be easy to make?
It is definitely not easy to do, because the imitation of Ru kiln porcelain certainly does not depend on the craftsmanship and shape, but requires suitable glazes.

Now the glaze material of Ru kiln green glaze has been conquered by Chen Wenzhe, so it depends on the shape.

At this time, the plum vase in Chen Wenzhe's eyes was not just the image of the plum vase in the eyes of the world.

Because he knows that there are many shapes of plum vases.

Xu Zhiheng in modern times said in his "Yin Liu Zhai Shuo Porcelain": "The mouth of the plum vase is thin and the neck is short, the shoulders are extremely broad and broad, and the shin is slightly narrow, and it is slightly plump when folded at the foot. The small diameter is only commensurate with the thin bones of the plum. , hence the name plum vase.”

Plum vases first appeared in the Tang Dynasty, and were more popular in the Song and Liao dynasties, and many new varieties appeared.

Plum vases and Jing vases have a historical relationship. In "Weng Yu Xian Comment" written by Yuan Wen of the Song Dynasty, there is a saying that "today people hold large wine bottles and call them Beijing bottles".

The so-called Jingping is Jingping, and the origin of the name of Jingping is related to the teaching system.

The lecture system and the lecture system, that is, the Jingyan system, gave rise to the banquet wine. This kind of wine bottle specially used for banquet wine has a special name, that is, the Jingbo bottle.

In modern times, the Jingyan system was abolished due to various reasons.

However, the special shape of the vase is still favored by literati and doctors, so it is used for flower arrangement.

The kind of skinny dried plum, coupled with the graceful shape of the bottle, is even more charming.

Therefore, it was dubbed another more poetic name-Meiping.

Over time, "Jingping" has been forgotten by people.

This is actually a kind of initial pottery, a process of gradual evolution.

The original ceramic vessels were simply imitating natural shapes, such as melon and gourd shapes.

Then gradually carry out independent design and production according to the functions of different utensils and the aesthetic consciousness of the creators.

From low level to high level, from coincidence to mastery.

Inspired by repeated practice, summed up the law and formulated a good program.

Plum vases and some other ceramic vessels generally evolved in this way.

In fact, from the initial practical device to the final ornamental device, plum vases have been changing.

The original plum bottle was a container for wine.

Plum vases are beautiful, but wine storage is still its primary practical function.

In order to hold a lot of wine without losing the beauty of "My Fair Lady", porcelain makers increase the largest diameter of it, which increases the capacity for holding wine without losing the beautiful image of the bottle.

Therefore, in terms of the shape of the vessel, the upper part of the plum vase is heavy and the lower part is narrow.

This has a high center of gravity, which makes it easy to tip over during daily use.

In order to maintain the stability of the bottle body, the producers often skillfully thicken the lower part of the bottle body during molding, so that the bottom is thick and not easy to knock over, which ensures its practical function.

When moving, the shape of the plum vase is suitable for holding in the arms and placing it on the stabilizer, so that people will enjoy hearing and seeing the beautiful wine and utensils.

Due to the high aesthetic value of plum bottles, people no longer use them to hold wine, but display them at home for people to appreciate.

It can be seen from this that display porcelain (art porcelain) was developed from daily-use porcelain.

Mei vases, from shape to decoration, all show the talent and wisdom of ancient folk craftsmen, as well as their unpretentious artistic language.

These are all worthy of our imitation. Based on this, we can also grasp the characteristics of the plum vases of the past dynasties and study them clearly.

It turned out that Chen Wenzhe was very familiar with plum vases, but now that the large database of Suihou Zhizhu is fully open to him, he has a deeper understanding of plum vases.

It can be said that from the creation and burning of the plum bottle, to the shaping and naming, to the most glorious peak, there are differences in each dynasty, or even completely different.

This time, what Chen Wenzhe is pursuing is all the incarnations of Mei Ping in various historical periods from the creation to the present.

Of course, the first piece to be made must be the Ru kiln celadon plum vase in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Plum vases appeared in the Tang Dynasty, but prevailed in the Song Dynasty.

In the Song Dynasty, many plum bottles were produced by the people, which can be seen in wine shops of all sizes.

The plum vases of the Song Dynasty are generally tall and thin, with the shoulders sloping down, the feet long and close to a straight line, and the bottom is relatively small.

The smallest diameter of the body, above the shoulder to below the mouth.

At this time, the plum vases were handled in various ways, often with sharp turning points.

Knowing these characteristics and having suitable materials, it is really easy to make a Mei vase of Ru Kiln in the Northern Song Dynasty.

However, it is not so easy to pursue a full-scale plum vase.

Not to mention the blue and white plum vases of the Yuan Dynasty, but all kinds of porcelain in the early Ming Dynasty. Without Macang soil, it is impossible to make high-quality imitations and fine imitations.

Therefore, limited to the material, Chen Wenzhe imitated directly, just imitating the shape.

If the material is not good enough, make it more beautiful, and the most beautiful one is the blue and white plum vase produced in Jingzhen.

Mei vases were fired in porcelain kilns all over the ancient times, but Jingzhen blue and white plum vases are the most exquisite.

In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the imperial kiln factory produced a large number of various plum vases, and the shapes became more and more beautiful.

From this time on, some plum bottles were used to hold wine for the emperor.

Some have become palace furnishings, and they have begun to move closer to ornamental collections.

Therefore, the plum bottle shape made at this time is really beautiful.

Chen Wenzhe also can't refuse beautiful things, so he can let go of his hands and feet, how beautiful he can be.

The antique porcelain produced in this way only imitates one appearance feature, and everything else is for beauty.

In this way, the blue and white, pastel and multicolored plum vases of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties can all be imitated.

If Chen Wenzhe is willing, he can even burn some enamel colored plum vases, or simply make some blue and white glazed red plum vases.

As for the characteristics, it is good to burn according to the characteristics of the vessel type, and the tire quality is not pursued.

As for the characteristics of the vessel shape, it can be said to be familiar to Chen Wenzhe.

From ancient times to the present, plum vases appeared in the Tang Dynasty, and in the Song Dynasty, many plum vases were produced by the people, which can be seen in wine shops of all sizes.

The plum vases of the Jin Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty are mostly in the style of narrow shoulders and slender chicken legs.

The plum vases of the Yuan Dynasty inherited the shape of the Song Dynasty, but the shoulders are more plump, with a lid, the lid is bell-shaped, and there is a cylindrical spigot in the middle. The lid can be turned upside down and used as a wine glass.

In the Yuan Dynasty, in addition to the round plum vases, there were also flat-mouthed plum vases, octagonal plum vases, and octagonal Japanese-cornered plum vases, with glaze colors such as blue and white, blue and white underglaze red, and underglaze red.

The plum bottle shape of the Ming Dynasty is relatively low.

The mouth is round and thick, without obvious corner turning.

The shoulders are lifted up, and the lines are full and powerful.

Under the abdomen, it is vertical, and some are slightly drawn inward.

At the end of the foot, turn slightly outward.

Some white-glazed plum vases have the word "Neifu" in blue and white regular script on the shoulders, which belong to palace utensils.

The plum vases of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty have particularly plump shoulders, almost in a straight line, and are straighter below the waist.

At that time, the plum vases paid attention to patterning, and the dragon pattern was relatively rigid.
