My system is not decent

Chapter 1556 The Year of the Emperor
In the Xuande period, the inscriptions on the porcelain were even more distinctive.

The porcelain inscriptions of this period are not only numerous, but also have no fixed location.

It is for this reason that there is a saying that "Xuande style is full of body".

Next is the blank period, that is, the three dynasties of Zhengtong, Jingtai, and Tianshun.

These three dynasties formed a huge contrast with the Xuande period. During this period, there was no regular official kiln year porcelain, and the specific reason is still unknown.

Then there are the Chenghua, Hongzhi, Zhengde, Jiajing, Longqing, and Wanli period porcelain inscriptions that have been inherited.

In the 36th year of Wanli, the imperial kiln factory stopped burning.

During this period, there was no production of official kilns in the traditional sense, and folk kiln porcelain became the mainstream.

Its quality has also been greatly improved, even far surpassing the previous official kiln products.

However, there is no official kiln year mark on the bottom of the porcelain of this period, and some better quality folk kilns often write fake entrustment marks.

There is an obvious process of generation, development and evolution in the writing of the emperor's year inscribed by official kilns in the Ming Dynasty.

Its type, style and arrangement directly affected the production and manufacture of official kiln porcelain in Qing Dynasty.

If you want to imitate a full set of Ming Dynasty official kilns, you should really pay attention to this point.

In particular, the categories and characteristics of the official kiln bases of the Ming Dynasty need to be more careful.

Generally speaking, judging from the unearthed and handed down Ming Dynasty official kiln porcelain, the base payment needs to meet many characteristics.

To sum it up: "Yongle has less money, Xuande money has more money, Chenghua money has fertilizer, Hongzhi money has show, Zhengde money has Gong, Jiajing money has miscellaneous".

Porcelain with the Yongle year mark is rare, whether it is an unearthed cultural relic or a museum collection.

Moreover, whether it is engraved, printed, or blue and white, it is basically a four-character or six-character seal script.

The "Museum Yaolan" of the Ming Dynasty contained: "The cup with a pressed hand, a flat mouth and a bent waist, a sandy foot and a slippery bottom, a double lion hydrangea in the center, and inside the ball are six characters or four characters made in the year of Yongle in the seal script, as thin as a grain of rice. The top grade; the mandarin duck heart comes next, and the flower heart comes next; the blue and white flowers on the outside of the cup are deep green, the style is exquisite, it has been handed down for a long time, and the price is also very high."

The slight difference is that monochrome glazed porcelain is generally printed and engraved.

During the Xuande period, most of them were in blue and white regular script, and most of them were "Daming Xuande Annual System" six-character double-line inscriptions;

There are also special ones, such as the six-character single-line inscription "Xuande Years of the Ming Dynasty" written in the heart of the bowl.

This kind of inscription, the four-character and six-character inscriptions written on the edge of the mouth, the six-character inscriptions written on the shoulder of the jar, and so on.

Monochromatic glazed porcelain inherits the characteristics of the previous dynasty, mainly printed or engraved;
The halberd-covered jars produced during the Xuande period are inscribed with the inscription "Dade Auspicious Field", which is also a kind of official money.

The Chenghua official style is mainly the six-character blue and white regular script style of "Daming Chenghua Annual System", with double circles or double frames around the periphery;

Among them, the foot cup and the small wine glass are mostly written with a double frame base.

At this time, a large number of folk kiln porcelains also began to be written.

In addition to writing "Made in the Chenghua Period of the Ming Dynasty", these utensils also appeared in the styles of "Made in the Year of Chenghua", "Made in the Year of Chenghua in the Ming Dynasty", and "Made in the Year of the Great Ming Dynasty";

The most famous pot with the word "Tian" in the Chenghua period has a blue and white regular script "Tian" written on the bottom.

Mr. Sun Yingzhou, a well-known ceramic researcher, once compiled the six-character inscriptions of the Chenghua period into a section of gist.

"Big characters have a pointed round head and are not high, while characters with characters are straight and straight to the waist. Characters with characters are flat and slightly headed, and characters with characters that are horizontal and less horizontal.

The inscription position of Chenghua porcelain has changed from the casual style of the Xuande period, and has gradually become standardized and stylized.

Most of its inscriptions are on the bottom of the vessel, and a small amount of writing is on the edge of the mouth of the vessel.

There is also a stem cup, and the inscription is written on the inside of the stem and circles around.

The font style of Chenghua inscriptions is unique, and it is considered to be written by the emperor himself. The font is full and large, and it almost fits the outer frame.

The bottom inscription in the Hongzhi period has the same hair color as Chenghua, but the shape and size of the characters are slightly different.

The style of the Hongzhi period is more elegant, and the distance between characters is larger.

The edges of the characters are not as close to the frame as Chenghua's.

In addition, some small details should also be paid attention to, for example, the right half of the word "Hong" is almost flush with the upper half of the left side next to the word "gong";

The three dots of water in "Zhi" are slightly lower than the right half, and the last horizontal line of the character "口" protrudes a little more.

In the Hongzhi Dynasty, there was also a yellow-glazed cup with blue and white inscriptions in the four-character seal script of "Hongzhi Nianzhi" written on the inner bottom.

The inscriptions of Zhengde porcelain are particularly neat, and the frame structure is upright and powerful.

During this period, the four-character regular script and alum-red color-bottomed styles were popular, and the concealed engraved and die-printed styles were hardly seen;

Moreover, in the four-character inscriptions, the character "year" is not written vertically but with an extra horizontal line, which is called "four horizontal years".

There was more than one kind of blue and white pigments in official kilns during the Zhengde period.

In the early days, Pingpingqing was used, and the hair color was light and elegant, similar to the blue and white style of Chenghong's period.

In the middle period, I started to try Shi Ziqing, and my hair color is gray and deep.

In the late stage, the formula of pebble green and back green was used, and the hair color was blue to purple.

The base money written in different green materials is also different.

According to these characteristics, the blue and white porcelain of the Zhengde period can be subdivided.

The inscriptions of the Jiajing period have thick fonts, dark purple and dignified colors, and hair color like sapphires.

The strokes of each character are particularly obvious, especially the closing strokes of the strokes and strokes in each character are similar and unique.

Other features include the character "Li" on the left side of the character "Jing" in early inscriptions, which is flush with the upper part of the character "Qing" on the right.

After the mid-term, the position of the word "Li" gradually moved down, and these details sometimes need to be paid more attention to.

In addition, it is often said that Jiajing styles are miscellaneous, mainly because Jiajing styles are not limited to dated styles.

In addition to chronological inscriptions, there are also inscriptions on heavenly stems and earthly branches, hall number inscriptions, and auspicious language inscriptions. The variety of types and the richest connotations are the most in all dynasties.

There are few real porcelains in the Longqing period, and the year stamps seen are mostly written as "made in the year of Longqing in the Ming Dynasty", with six characters in two lines;

Very few also have four-character double-line double-circle models, with the word "zhi" replacing the word "zao".

General bowls, plates, bottles, jars and washing, etc., the book inscribed on the bottom foot;

For a large porcelain vat, the inscription is placed under the rim of the vessel.

Wanli's reign was the longest in the Ming Dynasty (1573-1620), a total of 48 years.

Among them, the word "ten thousand" has two ways of writing.

In the early Wanli period, the initials crossed the first horizontal line upside down;

In the middle and late period, the inverted horoscope, but the first horizontal;

And the vertical line in the middle of the "Yu" character in the lower part of the "Wan" character is connected with the horizontal line at the beginning of the cursive character.

In general, the funds of the Wanli period are similar to those of Jiajing.

However, the types are relatively single, only dated models are seen, and the six-character double-line regular script models are mainly used, with double circles around the periphery.

The more special ones are: six-character three-line regular script, with blue and white double circles around the periphery;
Six-character double-line style and six-character single-line style, with double boxes on the periphery.

Wanli's calligraphy style is quite similar to "Yan Ti", honest and vigorous, dignified and neat, with strong setbacks at the turning points.

Usually, the blue and white materials used in the base models of blue and white are consistent with the painted cobalt materials of that period.

But there are individual exceptions, notably the year at the bottom.
