My system is not decent

Chapter 1528 The King of Blue and White
Yellow vine is a kind of strong but not hot turmeric, which can better set off the purple of ripe grapes.

The purple color on the cup is strong, but without losing the overall tranquility.

Its color is like red iron, and its surface is dull and dull, which will not be seen in later generations. It is the unique color on Chenghua Doucai porcelain.

The famous grape cup was unearthed from the tomb of Heisheri.

The Heisheri family is the granddaughter of Soni, the head of the four auxiliary ministers of the Kangxi Dynasty, and the daughter of Suo'etu, a scholar of the Baohe Palace.

She died of rash when she was seven years old (Jiayin in the 12th year of Kangxi, 1674) and was buried the following year.

It can be seen that the grape cup has an irreplaceable position in the eyes of the Sony family, and its preciousness is obvious to all.

This kind of bucket color grape pattern cup is used and loved by the royal family in the palace, and has been passed down.

This cup is bowl-shaped, with an open arc belly, a high lower abdomen, and hollow feet, so it is also called a tall bowl.

This period is known as the heyday or golden age of blue and white porcelain.

Including this grape cup, there are five billion cups, four of which are mentioned.

The last type is the tall cup, which is called "hand cup" because it bears a tall stem like a handle, and it is also called "horse cup" because it is easy to drink on the horse because it is held in the hand.

In May 2016, Leon Tumble, the oldest auction house in Scotland, and Freemans, the oldest auction house in the U.S., jointly held an auction in Xiangjiang for the first time.

Among them, the blue-and-white seawater cloud dragon pattern stem cup made in Xuande of the Ming Dynasty was auctioned by an anonymous buyer at a price of 4160 million Hong Kong dollars.

The outer wall of this stem cup is painted with flames and sea water and a pair of dragons playing with pearls, the foot handle is painted with sea water and river cliffs, leaving blank for waves, and the inside and outside of the mouth and the feet are painted with blue and white double circle patterns.

In addition, this Ming Xuande dragon pattern goblet also has a distinctive body decoration.

Its theme is decorated with dragons, which are painted with deep and colorful clear materials.

The surroundings are decorated with clouds, and the high feet are painted with thick blue and white sea waves.

Ssangyong leaps on the sea surface, with a mighty and vigorous image, and the sea water is choppy and magnificent.

This is a cup, and on this cup, such a scene is actually made.

Think about the decorated porcelain made by Chen Wenzhe the first time, the effect can only be achieved on a large pot.

In the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, people could make this effect on a small goblet. What kind of technology is this?
In the Chenghua period, it can be said that porcelain production at this time reached a peak in the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, if you want to imitate the Sanqiu Cup now, you must first make the blue and white cup, then the blue and white okra cup, and then the grape cup.

When even the bright colors on the stem cups can be perfectly replicated, then it is almost enough to make colorful Sanqiu cups.

Of course, if the chicken bowl cup can be made exactly the same as Chenghua's, the production of Sanqiu cup will be a little less integrated.

It is not easy for ordinary people to make any of these cups.

Even if it is Chen Wenzhe, if he does not have cheating utensils, he needs to collect a large number of old porcelains from the Chenghua official kiln period in advance.

Of course, it is definitely not a complete vessel, because it is not easy to find some old and ordinary objects and porcelain pieces.

Afterwards, the body glaze must be studied, and after many body glaze firing experiments, the raw materials for making these porcelains are finally determined.

The porcelain of Chenghua in the Ming Dynasty must be made of high porcelain clay from the Jingzhen area.

JDZ high porcelain clay has been famous all over the world since ancient times.

It is non-renewable, non-recyclable and extremely precious.

Now it is even more scarce due to long-term mining, and every inch of land is precious.

Special grade high porcelain clay, white and delicate, after being fired into porcelain, the fetal quality is white and delicate.

This kind of fired white glaze is soft and consistent on the outside and inside, the cup body is light and transparent, and the tea soup is poured into it to make it more brown.

The five billion cups that Chen Wenzhe mentioned before are all thin and glazed, and they also come from the ancient blue and white material that has been restored through untold hardships - Subo Niqing.

Here we must pay special attention to the fact that the Sumali green material used in the Ming Dynasty is different from that used in the Yuan Dynasty.

Although in the early Ming Dynasty, some Persian Sumali green materials were received from the Yuan Dynasty because of the war.

But the Sumaliqing used later must have been obtained from Southeast Asia.

This was finally confirmed by Chen Wenzhe after long-term research.

Of course, he is not the only one who has noticed this point, in fact, many masters have this idea.

During the Yongle and Xuande periods of the Ming Dynasty, after Zheng He's voyages to the West, the expansion of sea transportation promoted the development of my country's porcelain production.

In the firing of blue and white porcelain, "Su Ma Li Qing" was used as the glaze that Zheng He brought back from Southeast Asia on his voyages to the West.

The porcelain products at this time were extremely beautiful and exquisite, and there was the second peak of development since the blue and white porcelain matured in the late Yuan Dynasty.

The blue and white porcelain of this period is known as the "golden age" of blue and white porcelain.

And what about Yuan blue and white?It is not clearly recorded in historical documents.

In 1929, Hobson, an Englishman, conducted research on the handed down Yuan blue and white porcelain for the first time.

For decades, ancient ceramics experts and scholars at home and abroad have made long-term and unremitting efforts.

There is no convincing scientific evidence on where the Yuan blue and white cobalt material was produced and from which channel it was introduced into my country.

Under this premise, it is not rigorous to identify Yuan blue and white cobalt material and "Su Ma Li Qing" as a mineral.

"Su Ma Li Qing" is a specific product of Zheng He's voyages to the West, and there is no reason for academic circles to confuse it.

The production of blue and white porcelain in this period has reached a new level in terms of output and quality.

And it is famous for its fine body and glaze, rich blue and white, various shapes and beautiful decorations, so it is called the "golden age" of blue and white porcelain.

The blue and white porcelain of this period is characterized by bright hair color and stable color.

The blurring phenomenon is even more novel and unique, as if it has the peculiar effect of the scorched ink technique in traditional Chinese ink painting.

Especially the blue and white porcelain in the Xuande period was organically combined with our country's traditional culture, and was called the "king of blue and white" by the people.

In Cao Xueqin's book "A Dream of Red Mansions", the "ghost face green flower urn" described is the "Su Ma Li Qing" blue and white porcelain from the Yong and Xuan periods.

The blue-and-white porcelain of Yong and Xuanguan kilns has high academic value for the research on the development history of blue-and-white porcelain in my country.

After many years of textual research in the ancient ceramic circles at home and abroad, it is basically agreed that "Su Ni Boqing was introduced from Southeast Asia for Zheng He's voyage to the West in the early Ming Dynasty".

Of course, some people think that it was introduced from the Yisi area.

As for the exact place of origin of the "Su Ma Li Qing" material, due to the lack of literature records and physical evidence, there have been different opinions in the ancient ceramic circles at home and abroad over the years, and there is no consensus.

Mr. Ye Wencheng, an expert on ancient Chinese ceramics, has a clear answer after studying Chinese porcelain unearthed in Southeast Asia.

Because the Yongle pressed hand cup discovered in the Philippines is exactly the flower porcelain fired with the glaze of "Sumaliqing" brought back from Sumatra and Boni during Zheng He's voyages to the West.
