Chapter 1535 Yellow Porcelain Palace Vessel
Yongzheng official kilns are not only distinguished by elegant shapes and pure tones, but also pay more attention to overall coordination, which can be seen from the fine and exquisite production.

Monochromatic glazes are famous for their beauty of being uniform and uncarved.

Pastels are charming with their vivid beauty, elegance and softness.

Naturally, the Yongzheng yellow-glazed ware was not simple. Although it was not as rich and moist as the glaze in the Hongzhi period, the color was brighter than that of Hongzhi.

This lemon-yellow-glazed lotus-petal dish is glazed with yellow glaze inside and out, and the glaze is delicate and even.

The glaze color is lemon yellow, clear and bright, which is a typical "central positive color", and is the best quality among the Yongzheng Dynasty lemon yellow glaze dishes that have been handed down from generation to generation.

The imperial kiln porcelain in the Yongzheng period reached the most exquisite and meticulous state.

This plate has a flower opening, a bent waist, and a shallow circle of feet.

The inner and outer walls are in the shape of 18 upward lotuses from the edge of the mouth to the sole of the foot.

The center of the plate is also in the shape of 18 lotus petals, with a 16-hole lotus pod in shallow relief in the center.

The decoration is exquisite and meticulous, which is unique.

The lines carved on the inner and outer walls of the plate are gentle and smooth, full of dynamics.

The proportion of the device is coordinated, showing the "beauty of curves".

The whole device is like a lotus flower blooming in the pool, and the breeze seems to send wisps of fragrance.

This kind of flower shape is the traditional decorative style of Chinese porcelain.

The lotus flower is commonly known as the "Buddha flower", and the lotus petal pattern is a popular ornamentation under the influence of Buddhist culture.

Buddhist decorations were more common during the Yongzheng period, which is related to Emperor Yongzheng's deep belief in Buddhism.

According to historical records, Yongzheng hired someone to become a monk for himself when he was young, and funded the construction of Dajue Temple in Xishan.

After he ascended the throne, Yongzheng continued to respect the Buddha, calling himself Pochen Layman and Yuanming Layman.

He once publicly recruited more than a dozen disciples to talk about Buddhism and scriptures, and even directly appointed the abbot of the temple, bestowed titles on the Buddha, published Buddhist scriptures, and personally wrote prefaces for the scriptures.

Therefore, the lotus pattern decoration on the Yongzheng imperial porcelain has its own origin and basis.

Chen Wenzhe has made a chrysanthemum plate before, but he has never made a lotus plate alone.

What's more, this is a lotus petal dish with lemon yellow glaze.

Chen Wenzhe has actually done quite a lot for this kind of flower-shaped utensils, and if he does it now, his speed is still very fast.

According to his previous tradition, do everything you want.

So he sorted out from the Han Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty.

The most famous of the Qing Dynasty is the Three Qing Dynasties, namely Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong.

During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, due to the addition of glass white, the yellow-glazed porcelain looked more delicate and more classy.

During the Tongzhi and Guangxu periods of the Qing Dynasty, yellow-glazed porcelain became the mainstream of wedding porcelain for a while.

Although the number of firings is large, the quality is much worse than that of the three dynasties of the prosperous age.

Not only is the glaze dull, but it has lost the greasy sheen it should have.

In addition, in addition to single-color yellow-glazed porcelain, the surface of yellow-glazed porcelain will also be painted, and fired into various yellow-glazed porcelain.

Such as yellow-glazed green color ware, yellow-glazed pastel ware, yellow-glazed multicolored ware, yellow-glazed enamel ware, etc.

All these can explain that the Sui and Tang Dynasties, when yellow glazed porcelain was first used on a large scale, did not reach their peak because most of them were still low-temperature glazed porcelains at the beginning, and no real regulations were formed.

In the Song and Yuan Dynasties, because of the different preferences of the rulers, yellow glazed porcelain was thrown into the dust.

Therefore, the really good yellow-glazed porcelain can only reach its peak in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, especially the Ming Dynasty.

In other words, although yellow-glazed porcelain was invented very early, it was not until the Ming Dynasty that yellow-glazed porcelain finally ushered in the opportunity to explode.

In the Yongle, Xuande, and Chenghua dynasties of the Ming Dynasty, yellow-glazed porcelain was fired, but the best quality is Hongzhi yellow-glazed porcelain.

Judging from the large number of handed down products, the glaze color of the yellow-glazed porcelain in the Hongzhi Dynasty is almost the same, which shows that the firing process of the yellow-glazed porcelain was quite mature at that time.

Now that Chen Wenzhe imitates yellow-glazed porcelain, it is natural that Hongzhi yellow-glazed porcelain is the first, followed by the yellow-glazed porcelain of the Yongxuan and Chenghua periods, and finally the yellow-glazed porcelain of the Qing Dynasty.

The "poured yellow" monochromatic glaze in the Hongzhi Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty is a national treasure in porcelain, and such porcelain must be imitated in place.

It's just that it's not easy to do this.

The firing technology of yellow glazed porcelain was very skillful in the Hongzhi Dynasty of Ming Dynasty, and the color was stable.

For any "yellow" glazed porcelain, there is no difference in color difference.

This is even more rare, which shows that craftsmen in this period had a very precise grasp of the temperature of the kiln, or the temperature at which the yellow glaze was produced.

Yellow-glazed porcelain is a low-temperature glazed porcelain with iron as the colorant, which is fired in a kiln twice.

First, it is fired at high temperature to make astringent or plain white porcelain, and then the yellow glaze is applied by pouring glaze method.

It goes into the kiln again and is fired at 850-900°C.

In ancient my country, yellow-glazed porcelain was the special color glazed porcelain for emperors and concubines, so yellow-glazed porcelain was fired at any cost.

This makes its craft and technology more mature.

Especially in the Hongzhi Dynasty, the characteristics of "poured yellow" monochrome glaze were very typical.

During this period, the glaze surface of this single-color yellow glaze was smooth, and the glaze color was light and delicate. It was regarded as a model of yellow glaze porcelain in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Of course, the glaze color is so good, so the porcelain body must not be simple, at least it must be white and delicate.

Only with a good porcelain body and a good glaze color can we produce high-quality porcelain.

What's more, in the Hongzhi Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty, the monochromatic glaze "pouring yellow" was also differentiated into two types: light yellow and chicken oil yellow.

Hongzhi yellow-glazed porcelain is known as the supreme yellow porcelain of all dynasties. The unexpected beauty of the flourishing age is definitely not in vain.

Among them, chicken oil yellow played a decisive role.

my country's porcelain has been famous all over the world for its charming and changeable colors and patterns with rich themes since ancient times!
Among the porcelain relics of all dynasties, yellow glazed porcelain is the most royal work of art.

Since the Han Dynasty, the official kilns of all dynasties have fired yellow porcelain, but before the Ming Dynasty, the yellow-glazed porcelain did not show a true yellow color, but a yellowish-brown or dark yellow color.

Until the Hongzhi period of the Ming Dynasty, the firing of yellow porcelain really reached its peak.

Because of the pure yellow glaze, it is also called "chicken oil yellow" by later generations.

"Chicken oil yellow" is a very good metaphor, which is very vivid. Modern collectors value chicken oil yellow porcelain the most.

Because the yellow is beautiful and brighter than the previous dynasty, it is also called "Jiaohuang".

Afterwards, the official kilns of the Ming Dynasty all fired porcelain according to the standards of the Hongzhi Year. The palace called yellow-glazed porcelain "yellow wares", also known as "palace wares".

The world is black and yellow, and yellow porcelain is the most expensive.

Therefore, from the name "Dian ware", we can see the preciousness and status of this kind of porcelain.

Chinese people's respect for yellow comes from the most primitive understanding of nature.

The so-called "heaven and earth are mysterious and yellow, and the universe is prehistoric".

Yellow represents the land, and Xuanyuan's family is the Yellow Emperor, the ancestor of humanities.

Later, for the rulers of the feudal period, yellow was wealth and auspiciousness.

Later, it gradually changed into the color used by the royal family and became a symbol of power and dignity.

In the Ming and Qing dynasties, the ruling class had strict restrictions on the use of yellow.
