Miaoyu's colorful cover bell

"This is a vulgar weapon? Isn't it me talking wildly? I'm afraid you may not find such a custom in your home." This is not many appearances in "Dream of Red Mansions", but it is impressive to live in Jinling The representative expression of Miao Yu in the book. This "arrogant" remark came from the 41st time of "Dream of Red Mansions". On the same day, Liu Ye caught up with Shi Taijun's two banquet Grand View Garden. Mother Jia took advantage of her interest and took Liu Ye to visit Grand View Garden. When their visit route reached Cui Cui, Miao Yu had already prepared tea to welcome them.

Baoyu looked at how she did. I saw Miao Yu personally holding a small tea plate of Begonia fancy lacquer filled with Jinyunlong Xianshou. There was a colorful small cover bell in the kiln. Jia Mu said: "I don't eat Liu'an tea." Miao Yu said with a smile: "I know, this is the old Junmei." Mother Jia picked it up and asked what water it was. Miaoyu laughed back. "It is the rain of the old years." Jia mother ate half a cup, and said with a smile and said, "You taste this tea." Liu Ye took a sip and laughed: "Okay Yes, it is fading, and it is better to boil it. "The mother of Jia laughed. Then everyone was born with a color official kiln and filled the white bowl.

We can see that the tea prepared by Miao Yu for everyone uses the official kiln and fills the white cover, and the colorful small cover bell of the kiln is very symbolized to Jia mother. The value and status of Cheng Kiln can also be seen.

Cheng Kiln is colorful, that is, the colorful porcelain from the official kiln during the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty. Chenghua Gaocai is rare, and the collection value is extremely high. The Mingchenghua Doucai Chicken Cup, which we know, was sold for HK $ 280 million in Sotheby's Hong Kong spring auction in 2014. Since then, the Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup has been sealed.

Here we need to distinguish the names of colorful and Doucai. Doucai, no one in the Ming Dynasty called it "Doucai", until the early Qing Dynasty, it was called colorful. Later, it was distinguished from the colorful color, and it was named Doucai. Don't look at all people who like ceramics today say "Doucai", but this name appears very late. Well, Chenghua colorful color refers to Doucai.

Since it is said to be colorful, we have to say its historical background.

Emperor Zhu Jianshen of the Ming Dynasty, 17 years old, and experienced two major incidents before doing the emperor. The first time was "the change of the civilian castle". His dad was captured by the prince, and then his prince was abolished, and then the prince was abolished. After experiencing "the change of the door", his father returned to the emperor again, and he was reunited with the prince. He spent his childhood in the crossbow of the sword, and Wan's most important person, who was not inseparable from him, became his most important person, that is, the "Wan Guifei" we knew. Wan Guifei colluded with eunuchs and harmed every concubine who might be pregnant with the prince. Even if Emperor Chenghua knew, he did not punish Wan Guifei. It can be seen that Emperor Chenghua is a very weak person.

Well, it is the character of Emperor Chenghua that has created the artistic direction of porcelain during this period -it is light and soft.

During the Chenghua dynasty, the emperor's ordered Jingdezhen Royal Field did not hesitate to furnish the royal porcelain in large quantities, and porcelain developed greatly. The colorful color of Chenghua is dominated by red, green, and purple purple, and began to use peacock green colors, with warm white glaze as the ground, set off the colorful patterns, which complements each other.

The so -called upstream is good, and the bottom must be effective. The outstanding achievements of Chenghua Doucai reached a peak of development in porcelain painting and decorative technology, and it is also a peak that it is difficult to reach later. The rise and fall of official kiln in ancient Chinese ceramic production activities directly depends on the emperor. Emperor Chenghua's politics and weakened, but artistic. In the history of Doucai, although Chenghua Doucai was only in the beginning of the beginning, he reached its peak in one fell swoop in the aesthetic of Dou Cai Porcelain, and was regarded as the best of Doucai in later generations.

"Museum to Lay": "Cheng Kiln has not colorful."

Let's look at Miaoyu's colorful colorful bell, do we feel heavy. Now, it should be a cultural relics surrounded by a large glass cabinet in the museum! And Miao Yu, a Ms. Qian Jin, who reads the scholars' family, uses the colorful bells of Chenghua to use the tea to make tea, which not only shows her self -worth, but also expresses her respect for Jia's mother.

It was just Miao Yu, who was so rich, because Liu Ye ate tea once, and almost smashed it! As everyone knows, in this year's turn, before this bell she had not used, she, or Jia Mu, or Liu Ye, was just a passerby. In the long river of history, cultural relics have become evidence of evidence of history, and everyone who is lucky enough to meet, or those who "have" them are probably a deep or shallow passenger.
