Chapter 1204 The Treasure of the Township
To make the baby pillow reach the level of vividness, that is, the level of vividness, there must be craftsmanship comparable to that of craftsmen in the Song Dynasty.

And this kind of craftsmanship is really beyond the reach of ordinary people, otherwise the Dingyao pillow will not become a national treasure.

In fact, the design of this porcelain pillow is quite desirable.

So why is it designed to be in a prone position?Because if it is coming forward, the belly facing up will first affect the appearance.

Secondly, if the stomach is bulging, there is no way to form a depression and become a pillow.

So generally take a prone position, what about the child's face?Designed with the head up, it looks innocent.

In the shape of porcelain pillows, ladies and boys are mostly seen, but no old men have been seen.

After all, if you sleep on your pillow every day, I think many people will not be able to sleep!
So why did the ancients like to use porcelain as pillows?In fact, before porcelain pillows came out, the ancients also used jade pillows.

But the price of jade is not low, not everyone can afford it.

So when the porcelain pillow appeared, it quickly "fired"!

why? ?Comparing the pillows of these two textures, aesthetics is a common feature, but in addition, there is another thing in common, that is, "cool".

Jade pillows and porcelain pillows are warm and cool in texture, which can take away the "fire" in the brain.

Especially in the hot summer, the ancients did not have air conditioners, so they all relied on jade pillows to cool down. The head is cool, and the body is not hot by itself.

Over time, while jade pillows and porcelain pillows take away the "fire" of the body, they also play a role in improving eyesight, which has a good effect on improving eyesight.

But as for issues such as "hard" and "uncomfortable", it actually varies from person to person.

It's like some people like to sleep on Simmons, while others like to sleep on a hard bed.

Chen Wenzhe also likes baby pillows, but he doesn't like them enough to use them as pillows. Of course, he is more reluctant to part with them.

After all, making a baby pillow requires a lot of effort from the initial design.

Don't think that it is an imitation, so you don't need to design it carefully, because the patterns on each baby pillow are very complicated and delicate.

You know, the carving process of children's pillows is very clever, otherwise it would not be able to carve the charm of children.

Therefore, if you don't design it well and know it well, the carved pattern will definitely not be vivid.

The quality of a baby pillow has a lot to do with the children carved on it.

Besides, there is more than one baby pillow. Although they are basically the same, there are still some slight differences.

When firing baby pillows, or even Ding kiln porcelain, one kiln must not only fire one piece.

If you make a few more, you can't follow a template.

Therefore, Chen Wenzhe searched it casually, but he didn't expect that there were a lot of information about porcelain pillows inside the Pearl of Suihou.

Not only Ding kiln baby pillows, but also porcelain pillow materials produced by all kilns throughout ancient times.

So now Chen Wenzhe already knows that there is more than one Dingyao porcelain doll pillow in existence.

There are currently three known complete vessels, which are collected in the Wanwan Palace Museum and the Shendu Palace Museum respectively.

This baby pillow in the Palace Museum is known as "the only one left in the country" and is one of the nine treasures of the country.

It is now stored in the Palace Museum and exhibited in the Wenhua Palace (Ceramics Museum).

It is not only a witness to the customs of the Song Dynasty, but also a precious material for studying the culture and ceramic art of the Song Dynasty.

Its glaze color is tooth yellow, and its craftsmanship is exquisite. First, it is fired into a mold, and then finely carved, so that the child's expression is lifelike.

The expression and appearance are just right, full of fun, coupled with the fineness of the porcelain body, the glaze color is white and warm, and evenly moistened like ivory, giving people a soft and warm aesthetic feeling overall.

It is particularly worth mentioning that the children's pillow in the Shendu Palace Museum, in order to prevent it from bursting in high temperature, the air outlet is not opened at the bottom, but the child's ear holes are used as the air outlet, which can be described as unique and superior to others .

Then there is the Wanwan Museum, they are lucky because they have two "little guys" in their collection.

Although the two Dingyao child pillows from the Northern Song Dynasty in the Wanwan Palace Museum are almost the same shape as the ones in the Palace Museum, the details are also very clever:

The children are dressed in embroidered silk gowns, waistcoats, trousers and soft-soled cloth shoes. The clothes are very exquisite, which fully demonstrates the characteristics of Song Dynasty clothing.

The sleeping pillow is oblong, with Chilong and Ruyi decorations molded around it.

White glaze is applied on the body of the pillow, the glaze color is white and warm, even and soft like ivory.

The bottom of the pillow is plain, and there is a vent hole at the foot.

The child wears a doll bun, the sky is full, the ears are like ingots, the eyes are round and piercing, and the face is smiling.

The expression is leisurely and content, revealing a spirit.

This is really attractive, otherwise Emperor Qianlong would not appreciate it so much, and engraved imperial poems on it.

The three baby pillows can be said to be opposite each other, each with its own merits.

Many people know the similarities between the three intact Ding kiln white-glazed baby pillows facing each other across the river.

But the difference, some people who don't care much about this information, definitely don't know.

Such a national treasure, if including the remnants, there are probably only four left.

Shendu Forbidden City and Wanwan Forbidden City have two pieces each, one of which is damaged;

Of the two Wanwan pieces, one was fired later, has a rougher texture, and is smaller in size.

Another difference is the pattern on it.

It turned out that these three complete national treasure-level children's pillows have been handed down. The two porcelain pillows with printed patterns on their bodies were brought to the Wanwan Palace Museum, and the ones without printed patterns were left in Shendu.

The porcelain pillow with patterns on the clothes on the left is hidden in the Wanwan Palace Museum, and the one without patterns on the right is hidden in the Palace Museum.

One of them has an imperial inscription poem, we all know that!

And the other one has ink books, which few people know about!
As for the children's pillow left in the Shendu Forbidden City, although it has no words, there are written materials on another incomplete boy's lotus pillow.

Rare things are more expensive, which makes up for this shortcoming.

The three baby pillows all represent the originality of Ding kiln craftsmen in my country, and represent the famous products in ancient Chinese porcelain.

It's a pity that such a treasure will inevitably be poisoned by Qianlong.

You must know that these three baby pillows were all the baby "toys" of Emperor Qianlong before they were separated.

As we all know, Emperor Qianlong was a big collector. He loved to collect all kinds of calligraphy, painting and porcelain in his life, and he was also very keen to attach a poem to his favorite collection and stamp an emperor's seal.

According to the archives of the Qing Palace Manufacturing Office, from the thirty-eighth to the forty years of Qianlong's reign, Qianlong mentioned the "Dingci Doll Cool Pillow" many times.

I even wrote four poems one after the other, which shows that this Dingyao child pillow was very well known by Qianlong.

So, what is so special about this baby pillow that Qianlong loved it so much?
This might as well start from its birth, because one of the most important sayings is to send children dolls.
