My system is not decent

In 1950, the tomb of Mu Ying, the founding hero of the Ming Dynasty, was stolen, and many cultural relics were lost to the people.

This Yuan blue and white plum bottle with Xiao Heyue chasing Han Xin picture is one of the stolen cultural relics.

At that time, someone was selling this plum vase near Xinjiekou, Jinling City.

Fortunately, Chen Xinmin, who works for the Jinling Cultural Relics Company, recognized it as a rare treasure at a glance.

Without any hesitation, he directly bought 5 gold bars.

Two years later, he donated the bottle to the country free of charge, and it is now hidden in the Jinling Museum.

Such a treasure, you can see its beauty just by looking at the pictures.

Through the pictures, Chen Wenzhe can see that the whole plum vase is exquisitely crafted, with clear patterns and no flaws.

Because so far, there are only three Yuan blue and white plum vases of the same style in the world, so it is also known as "one of the three wonders of Chinese porcelain".

When it comes to this plum vase, one cannot fail to mention Muying from the Ming Dynasty.

Muying's parents died since she was a child, and she begged along the street for a living.

When he was 8 years old, Zhu Yuanzhang met this little beggar by accident.

He saw Mu Ying's resolute character, amazing bones, and piercing eyes, so he accepted him as his adopted son.

After that, Mu Ying followed Zhu Yuanzhang to fight in the north and south, and gradually grew into a general under Zhu Yuanzhang.

Mu Ying was the founding hero of the Ming Dynasty. After the pacification of Yunnan, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered him to guard the frontier.

In order to reward Mu Ying, Zhu Yuanzhang specially gave him a blue and white plum vase from Yuan Dynasty.

The painting on the plum bottle is "Xiao Heyue Chasing Han Xin", implying that Mu Ying is a rare general like Han Xin.

After Muying's death, Zhu Yuanzhang specially ordered his body to be transported back to Jinling, and he was buried on Guanyin Mountain in the suburbs. After that, Guanyin Mountain was renamed General Mountain.

Since such a famous tomb has been stolen, it is absolutely beyond the reach of ordinary people.

This involved another celebrity, Kang Yonghai, the "No. [-] Tomb Raider".

When they learned that Mu Ying's tomb had been stolen and dug, the officials were outraged and immediately organized elite police forces to solve the case, hoping to bring the tomb robbers to justice and return the stolen cultural relics to Zhao.

After the police conducted a meticulous investigation, they finally locked the tomb robber. He is Kang Yonghai, who is known as the "No. [-] Tomb Robber".

Kang Yonghai is a native of Jinling, and his grandfather is the famous Jinling Captain Mojin.

Before liberation, he and his father had been robbing tombs for a living.

However, after liberation, the people's government severely cracked down on tomb robbery, and Kang Yonghai also "washed his hands" for a period of time under pressure.

However, Kang Yonghai has no other means of making a living except tomb robbery, and his life is gradually struggling.

Because Kang Yonghai has been making a living by robbing tombs before, he has become accustomed to living a life of getting something for nothing and spending money like water
So, once he lost his source of income, he became restless.

In the spring of 1950, Kang Yonghai secretly dug Muying's tomb while the people in Jinling were busy with economic construction and neglected the management of local ancient tombs.

After the tomb was successfully stolen, Kang Yonghai took the Yuan blue and white plum vase to sell in the morning market.

It was also a coincidence that I happened to meet Mr. Chen Xinmin, the collector of cultural relics mentioned above.

Mr. Chen could tell at a glance that the plum bottle in that person's hand was unusual.

In the end, he bought the blue and white plum bottle at the price of 5 gold bars.

After receiving the plum vase, the more Chen Xinmin studied it, the more he felt that this blue and white plum vase was unusual.

Based on his research on this type of porcelain, he believes that this Yuan blue and white plum vase has not been unearthed for a long time.

And it is likely to come from the Ming Dynasty imperial tomb near Jinling, and the only Ming emperor's tomb in Jinling is Zhu Yuanzhang's Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum.

Thinking of this, Chen Xinmin immediately found the official with the plum bottle in his arms, and finally caught the tomb robber.

After the case of Kangyong pirates digging Muying's tomb was uncovered, all the cultural relics excavated by the pirates were confiscated and returned to the public.

Mr. Chen Xinmin also handed over the Yuan blue and white plum vase he purchased with 5 gold bars to the Jinling Cultural Relics Bureau.

So, what is so precious about this Yuan blue and white plum vase under Xiao Heyue chasing Han Xin?

First of all, this plum vase came from the JDZ official kiln in the Yuan Dynasty;

The shape of the plum bottle is very classic, 44.1 cm high, 5.5 cm in diameter, 28.4 cm in belly diameter and 13 cm in bottom diameter.

Such a large plum vase is rare in itself.

What's more, there are many kinds of complicated patterns painted on the body of the plum vase.

In particular, there is a famous picture of "Xiao He chasing Han Xin under the moon" painted on the belly of the bottle.

In the picture, Xiao He is galloping forward on a fine horse, and Xiao He on the horse looks anxious.

On the other side of the bottle belly is Han Xin, hesitating standing by the river.

The old boatman in the distance stood with oars, quietly waiting for Han Xin to board the boat.

The pictures on the plum vase are dense and dense, vividly expressing Xiao He's anxiety and Han Xin's hesitation.

Many people know that Yuan blue and white porcelain is very rare in the world, but few people know why it is so precious.

In fact, the blue and white porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty has always been the royal porcelain, and the production process of this kind of porcelain is very strict.

The entire production process has extremely strict requirements on the selection of materials and processes such as porcelain clay, glaze, and painting.

Craftsmen must be very careful when firing blue and white porcelain.

After all the porcelain is fired, the officials of the Royal Household Office will screen it.

Only the top-grade blue and white porcelain without any flaws will be picked out and sent to the palace.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as "one in a thousand".

The remaining blue and white porcelain must be smashed to prevent it from flowing into the folk.

It is precisely because of the craftsmanship, production process and selection method of Yuan blue and white porcelain that Yuan blue and white porcelain has been rare in history, which has led to the situation that "one piece of porcelain is hard to find" in Yuan blue and white porcelain today.

These exquisite Yuan blue and white vases made by Xiao Heyue chasing Han Xintu must have been made in Jingde.

As for the material, Sumaliqing imported from Xicheng is selected.

The exact place of origin of these Su Ma Li Qing, although it has not yet been ascertained.

However, Chen Wenzhe can be sure that this is a cobalt blue material with low manganese and high iron.

The content is 10%~19.05%, so its blue and white color is very rich and colorful.

The biggest characteristic of this kind of green material firing is that dark brown crystal spots will appear at the place where the glaze gathers.

In terms of painting techniques, this bottle adopts the technique of stippling, and all patterns and patterns are completed with one stroke of stippling, which is smooth and powerful, which is very different from the traditional blue and white separation and dyeing technique.

The blue-and-white blue-and-white plum vase of Xiao Heyue chasing Han Xin in the Yuan Dynasty has a small mouth and plump shoulders, a slanted belly and a flat bottom.

The white glaze is clean and shiny, and the green material is rich and elegant, and the two set off each other.

Coupled with the vigorous rubbing and painting porcelain brushwork, the picture has the beauty of painting.

The blue-and-white blue-and-white vase of Xiao Heyue chasing after Han Xin pictured in the Yuan Dynasty depicts six layers of blue-and-white decorations from top to bottom.

The passion flower, miscellaneous treasure-covered lotus pattern, deformed lotus petal pattern, pendant bead pattern, etc. all serve well for the main pattern of "Xiao Heyue Chasing Han Xin".

As a result, the whole object is integrated and the theme is distinct and prominent.
