Chapter 1238 Ding Kiln Printing, Yijing Wins the Championship

Porcelain in the Song Dynasty was relatively famous, and there are many porcelains with peony patterns in existence.

At that time, peony patterns were used as auxiliary decorations.

For example, the engraved and printed phoenix peony patterns of Ding Kiln and Yaozhou Kiln.

If you want to really talk about fine porcelain with peony patterns, you have to talk about Ding Kiln.

Perhaps it is because since the Tang and Five Dynasties, yellow-glazed, yellow-green-glazed and brown-green-glazed porcelains have been produced, so there are many countries producing Ding kiln porcelains with brighter peony patterns.

Ming Cao Zhao's "Ge Gu Yao Lun": "Ding kiln is the best for firing porcelain in Xuanhe and Zhenghe years of Song Dynasty."

Among the plant decorations of Dingyao white porcelain, the artistic achievement of the peony pattern is the most outstanding.

Ding kiln peony decoration, mainly in the form of engraving and printing, the decoration is finely carved and the lines are clear.

At the same time, it also reflects the high level of printing and demoulding technology.

Looking at the carved peony decorations of the Ding Kiln, its extraordinary artistic charm stems from the exquisite skills with ease.

Especially its engraving process, so why is this process called engraving instead of engraving?

In fact, the main reason is that this kind of craft was mainly used to carve flowers, including peonies.

This kind of carving technique is still very clever.

The knife edge is full of changes, the line is narrow when the blade is straight, and the line is wide if it is oblique;

If the force is light, the knife marks will be shallow, and if the force is heavy, the knife marks will be deep. The changes are endless and intriguing.

The application of comprehensive techniques makes the pictures more vivid and intriguing.

There are very few large pieces of porcelain with engraved peony patterns in the Ding kiln, only white-glazed plum vases with engraved peony patterns in the Ding kiln of the Song Dynasty.

This bottle is 45.3 cm high, 4.9 cm in diameter and 10.8 cm in foot diameter.

It is now in the Palace Museum. It has a small mouth that rolls outwards, a short neck, plump shoulders that gradually converge below the shoulders, thin feet, and a slender, straight and pretty shape.

Chrysanthemum petal patterns are engraved on the shoulder of the bottle, peony patterns are engraved on the body of the bottle, and banana leaf patterns are engraved on the lower part.

The engraved peony patterns are sharp and sharp, and can be used for engraving, scratching, and picking, with different depths, widths, and widths. They are lively and full of virtual and real changes.

The beautiful and elegant peony emerges elegantly on the soft white ground, with the moisture of jade.

This kind of porcelain is very beautiful even if it is made by modern people, let alone the craftsmanship of thousands of years ago.

What's more, the plum bottle is considered a large vessel among the Ding kiln wares.

Because the porcelain produced by Ding kiln is mostly small utensils, such as bowls, plates, boxes and the like.

Such a large plum vase is extremely rare and especially precious.

It's just that the bowls and plates of Ding kiln are carved with peony patterns, which are the most distinctive products because of their large number of varieties.

The peony-patterned bowls of Ding Kiln are generally open, while the plates are flat-bottomed.

This provides convenience for the indulgent expression of peony decorations, so many classic patterns emerge.

Such as one fancy, two fancy and multi fancy, etc.

No matter how many flowers there are, it can give people artistic enjoyment.

A fancy carved flower, most of the flowers are plump and huge.

For example, in the Northern Song Dynasty, a flower-painted peony pattern bowl is 6.8 cm high, 21.5 cm in diameter, and 6.1 cm in foot diameter.

The rim is inlaid with copper ridge buckles, and the inside of the bowl is carved with a branch of peony through the wall and bottom.

Its workmanship is sharp, and the lines drawn with a straight edge are like the iron lines in traditional Chinese paintings, thin and strong, round and smooth.

In the picture, one flower stands alone, and the flower is huge, accounting for about half of the bowl of noodles.

Its inner decoration wraps six petals upwards and unfolds two petals downwards, showing a blooming posture and shining fiercely;

Two leaf petals accompany the side, distribute left and right, and stretch freely.

It shows the beauty of the scenery and the sunshine, and the spring light of the painting.

And the two fancy styles are more beautiful.

Ding kiln ware with peony patterns like this was produced in a lot during the Northern Song Dynasty.

Of course, there are quite a few peony-patterned porcelains from other kilns, but there are definitely not many peony-patterned porcelains that can compare with Ding Kiln.

Therefore, if Chen Wenzhe wanted to make a breakthrough on the peony-patterned porcelain, it would be best to imitate the peony-patterned porcelain from the fixed kiln first.

I have just made a lot of Ding kiln porcelain before, and now my hands are still warm. This time I just change the decoration, which is easier at last.

Chen Wenzhe didn't intend to make it too complicated, he just put some simple plates and bowls first.

For example, the Ding Kiln in the Northern Song Dynasty has a peony pattern folding waist plate, which is 5.3 cm high, 20.9 cm in diameter, and 6.3 cm in foot diameter.

This is a six-petal dish with open mouth, bent waist and small feet.

The mouth is inlaid with copper rib buckles, and the inner and outer walls are decorated with peony patterns.

Four peonies are engraved on the outer wall, and two peonies, the size of a broken branch, are engraved on the inner wall and bottom of the vessel.

The big peony is in full bloom, with luxuriant petals, unfolding from the bottom of the plate to the edge of the plate, with the petals turning from the front side, and the posture is enchanting.

A bud is engraved on the left side of the big flower, swaying in the wind.

The leaves are sparse and bright, covering their faces gracefully.

The skillful handling of the knife, before and after stacking skillfully, the top edge of each petal has a highly decorative circular tooth-shaped corrugation, which is carved with a special round-edged knife.

On the part of the petal surface, the wave pattern of the grate is cleverly used to make the petals undulate.

Except for the peony picture, there are no other decorations inside the vessel. It is like a white peony, refraining from makeup and powder, dancing in the wind, and the pure picture is displayed in front of you.

This is a folding waist plate, in addition to this, there is also a folding edge plate.

The Ding kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty has a plate with peony flowers and folded edges, presenting another artistic conception.

The surviving one is a folding plate with a height of 2 cm, a diameter of 6 cm and a foot diameter of 26.9 cm.

This plate of peonies has a relative layout. A branch of peony is carved on the surface of the plate, and the soft branches pass through the center of the plate, dividing the plate into left and right halves. At the same time, two huge peonies come out with the branches. Words, ready to come out.

This fold engraves flowers along the plate, and the use of the oblique knife is experienced and handy. It may be dignified and vigorous, or lightly scratched and finely drawn, leisurely and freely. The flying blade makes the picture full and full of ups and downs.

And this kind of decoration is just the simplest, except for the first flower and the second flower, there were many flowers at that time.

As the name suggests, it is a layer upon layer of peonies.

For example, the four-fancy pattern, which is decorated with luxuriant flowers and leaves, overlapping flowers and heavy calyxes, and the orderly arrangement makes the picture stop and balance. The Ding Kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty is a good example.

The rim of this plate is inlaid with copper ridge buckles. The height of the bowl is 5.6 cm, the diameter of the mouth is 24.1 cm, and the bottom diameter is 7.5 cm.

Four peonies are engraved on the inner and outer walls of the plate, and the center part of the bowl is engraved with a dragon pattern.

There are four peonies carved on the inner wall, and the long branches are intertwined. The shapes of flowers, leaves and branches are thin and soft, and they are beautiful and wave-like, swaying and blooming.

The engraver is good at making long lines, and the knife is invincible, with a consistent momentum.

The long-line structure with different radians, the overall situation of flowers and leaves with different postures, and the arrangement are meticulous.

At the same time, the detail processing is also extremely delicate. The edges of the flowers and leaves are engraved with semi-circular tooth-shaped decorations, which increase the sense of rhythm of the picture;
The grate draws slender parallel straight lines or arcs on the petals and leaves, which also makes the already thin and healthy petals and leaves plump and moist.

And these are masterpieces of scratching and engraving, and in addition, there are printings.

Ding kiln printing, Yijing won the championship, so I have to say.
