the flourishing of descendants of continuous ChuQingYuan kiln 1,
remember the flourishing of descendants of shape ewer
Qin Dashu (professor of Peking University institute of archaeology wenbo)
Christie’s autumn in Hong Kong on a fine kiln ewer the flourishing of descendants of form. Ewer foot size 6.5, 6.5 cm high. Pot at the top of the circle inward fold, near the mouth down inside collect, forming a small round mouth. On the cross by a bar, small mouth and can be divided into two and a half; Pot body whole elegant and polished, close to the melon, melon leng well with the pressure tank, dig for repairing the neat at the bottom of the large jade ring ring foot, foot inside a small sticky sand, “south” inscription delimit foot inner thread; On one side of the upper abdomen for the coarser but natural curved short meander, modelling is very fruity and elegant; Another side connect into twist shape copy, he’s a crank end gives small shrubs with plastic coated process links three piece printing veins, products in the font hangs on the pot, make the whole of the pot is the flourishing of descendants of a ying ying can hold. This pot of overheating interpretation by the company of Hong Kong zhongke hair light test 2, the sampling site visible body pure white, density and fine like being soaked, it was a period of kiln the seiko TaiZhi characteristics of the highest rank. Is very rare, ewer flowers.the ShiBai micro slightly green glaze, even simple but elegant, jade-like stone embellish is bright and clean; Particularly notable is, glazing is in perfect after glazing, only will be wider than a foot inside a narrow strip of glaze scrape to burn. Will foot after we will give full glaze glaze scrape method called “bound feet glaze”, but this method implements of glaze is more important than the average bound feet scraping the glaze meticulous, this is the bound feet outside the burning process one of the most seiko burning method, is very rare. In the embryo glaze characteristics and seiko degree and blowing a foot process similar to the pot, only 1985 henan gongyi city northern song dynasty tomb song taizong yong xian ling society was buried in queen yuan DE li ling exquisite kiln unearthed remnants, 3. In mid and late northern song dynasty kiln implements in gong platform with characteristics.
this ewer the flourishing of descendants of shape is a kind of distinctive modelling of the kiln implements. Kiln has been in its production history to the dishes class daily utensils as the main products, shaping the implements of the class is very rare. But this kind of the flourishing of descendants of shape ewer unearthed in the archaeological work in several cases, mainly found in the liao, mid and late mid age from the northern song dynasty to jin, can see clearly the shape change. In Inner Mongolia, and this is the most similar examples in the ewer chayouqian flag hao owe camp 6 tomb unearthed a kiln the flourishing of descendants of ewer, modelling, the embryo glaze characteristics are very similar (figure 1), hao owe camp 6, is a small hexagonal burial tomb of MuZhuRen body full copper wire network and fine gold mask, has the obvious characteristic of late LiaoZhong, age should xing zong heavy enghish years (1032-1054) and tao ZongQingNing years (1055-1064), 4. Similar to the ewer modelling and liaoning chaoyang seeks face liao qing ning six years (1060) Zhao Kuangyu tomb unearthed a ewer the flourishing of descendants of form (figure 2) 5, but this ewer belly full adorn very realistic hand-cut in pattern, this hand-cut pattern with the kiln in the late northern song dynasty in grain is different, is an important characteristic of Beijing longquan service kiln late liao dynasty, implements the embryo glaze characteristics also support the judgment. By the end of the northern song dynasty, the modelling of such ewer as the direction of tall, thin, abdominal melon leng become shallow, gradually moved away from the flourishing of descendants of the image. Such as liaoning chaoyang south LiaoMu unearthed a ewer the woods on the modelling compared with this pot of slightly tall, thin, abdomen with plastic coated he replaces the embossed melon leng abdomen, in the upper abdomen also draw a thin line scratching the butterfly lines (figure 3), and the slab tombs for brick room roof, and shimen tombs, and the north of hebei province to the chaoyang area Jin Chu tomb, should be the end of the liao dynasty tombs shape 6. The ewer by jin, is completely out of the flourishing of descendants of shape, became a approximate pear-shaped, rheological became longer meander, abdominal melon leng further becomes shallow, appear even light without grain, process is much less than the mid and late northern song dynasty. Such as in the ancient city of jilin province lishu county jin slant face unearthed a pear-shaped, girder still do he form, but the pot body is completely pear-shaped 7.
the ewer unearthed in the northeast region, often also is really a small amount of liao dynasty kiln products, such as saw Beijing longquan service of kiln products. So some scholars will such as liao porcelain ewer all, now it seems this view is not correct. This kind of the flourishing of descendants of shape ewer embryo glaze extremely fine quality products, or the rough, mostly kiln products. 2009 Beijing university institute of archaeology wenbo and hebei province cultural relic institute jointly explore kiln site, the product quality is the most beautiful jian magnetic hill kiln in the late northern song dynasty unearthed in formation such pieces ewer, there should be a very elegant the flourishing of descendants of pot of origin. At the same time, in the north YanChuan and smelting kiln area also unearthed jin formation in such ewer (figure 4), relatively speaking, the quality is slightly lower, especially in the jin, found in the northeast area of the rough set kiln porcelain is mostly produced in the region.
the ewer is unique shape is small, and the common tea with wine ewer and points with injection pot has certain gap. Therefore, its use function intriguing. We say, this kind of ewer since the middle of the northern song dynasty, but very rare display meaning auspicious blessings modelling artifacts. “Book of songs, jedaiah, continous” : “the flourishing of descendants of continuous, the people of the primary, since the soil paint.” Die: small melon, meaning for continuous many greatly small melon vine. Reference for children with love and prosperity, endless miles. And then gradually derived career tengda, couples harmony and so on 8, meaning auspicious patterns is very important in ancient China. This auspicious take meaning since the six dynasties has formed. Door and prosperity, prosperous, probably since the ancient times is that people hope for the future of themselves and their families, therefore, taking the descendants of the flourishing of descendants of order to the prosperity of implements and auspicious patterns in longevity in ancient China. Until the period of the republic of China is still popular, the republic of China on the marriage certificate with target language “… he is the flourishing of descendants of azbuk, chang er on. Would like to grow some, books to hong thinks, good to the union of the red leaves, spend their honeymoons.//stated.” So the melon since “poem” has a good moral, and has the kind of daily use, to take its type, to figure, very friendly. With the flourishing of descendants of modelling making implements with meaning auspicious dates back to the tang dynasty at least. In shaanxi lintong Tang Qing yamadera sarira Kentucky significance were unearthed from the tang dynasty period in the rooms small melon, one hand can hold 9. Is take the flourishing of descendants of meaning. But is this kiln porcelain ewer represents the mian mian the flourishing of descendants of meaning? Mian mian we see, the expression of the flourishing of descendants of meaning pattern often use two ways, mostly made of melon shape with he, the other is on the melon ACTS the role of the butterfly with table Die harmonics. And on the ewer just have such expression. The Inner Mongolia chayouqian flag hao owe camp 6 tomb unearthed a ewer, at the top of the three pieces of leaves on the front of a pattern of a butterfly. Chaoyang south forest LiaoMu ewer, unearthed in the upper abdomen with scratching techniques to draw the butterfly tattoo grain. The two cases should be the first seen in the melon and butterfly combination of “growing with the flourishing of descendants of” the meaning of the example. Is this ewer we completely can be called the flourishing of descendants of ewer. In this ewer small mouth with a horizontal system, and in Zhao Kuangyu tomb unearthed ewer mouth, stick a birds, covering water inlet. There is no doubt that these artifacts can affect the use function of the ewer such as water. Therefore, this should be a kind of more auspicious meanings with the display of objects. Unearthed from the set of objects we can see that this is a symbol of the used to make wine ewer, jilin fuyu county Liu Huantun hoard was found such ewer is proved with warm bowls (figure 5) 10, but the smaller shape and intended to stop its normal use function, make us more likely to believe that, in the daily life to express auspicious meaning, or used in some kind of sacrifice, gifts, and not often used by actual equipment.
in the light of this the flourishing of descendants of the evolution of the ewer, we also see, from a realistic melon shape wares in tang dynasty, the northern song dynasty medium-term ewer very close to the melon shape, to jin off his realistic style, gradually began to appear widely in the future in the form of image to express the changing process of the auspicious meaning, reflected from the realistic expression to the development process of the expression of schematic. The development of this ewer just represents the blessing of song period auspicious patterns and cultural development. Reflected from the beauty of representational to ChouXiangMei.
