Chapter 1549: Very sad for the second generation of the emperor
When identifying porcelain from any period, the actual object is the most convincing.
Especially by borrowing some modern scientific and technological means, the internal structure of porcelain that cannot be seen using traditional identification methods can be clearly seen.
These facts cannot be hidden.
It is a pity that many traditional appraisal experts do not recognize the evidence obtained by these scientific and technological means, and they do not know why.
In fact, even if he does not rely on technological means and uses traditional identification techniques, Chen Wenzhe also supports that among the porcelains handed down today, there are mark porcelains made in the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty.
Because the characteristics of porcelain from this period are really obvious.
Not to mention those mentioned above, there are many other proofs.
For example, the hair color of blue and white in Hongwu, Jianwen and Tianshun dynasties is generally grayish black, which should be the color development effect of low kiln temperature;
Hongwu porcelain also has a concave and convex black color, which is the result of the low-temperature firing of the Sumali Qing kiln, rather than the color of domestic materials.
Even if it will take some time for Hongwu's large-scale porcelain to be confirmed, the enthusiasm and interest in academic circles to explore and trace it will also be in the ascendant.

It's a pity that Chen Wenzhe doesn't have any porcelain from the early Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, he might be able to see some historical truth through the Sui Marquis Pearl.
As long as it was related to the imperial kiln factory in the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, he should be able to be inspired, and through the review, he could see the true situation of the imperial kiln factory in the Hongwu period.
Unfortunately, things from the early Ming Dynasty and antiquities related to the Imperial Kiln Factory are not easy to find.
Chen Wenzhe could only say hello to Li Jinli and ask him to pay attention, what if he encountered him?
Skipping the porcelain of the Hongwu period, the next most important ones should be the Jianwen and Yongle periods.
I have to say that these three men from the early Ming Dynasty are really interesting, especially their official kiln porcelain.
Emperor Hongwu was confused about whether it had the emperor's year mark, while Jianwen was confused about whether this unlucky guy produced official kiln porcelain.
As for Yongle, it’s still the same issue, it’s also an issue of the year.
Let’s talk about Jianwen first. No one has ever seen his official kiln before.
However, recently, an old collector on the Internet said with certainty that he had one in his hands.
This is very interesting. If it really exists, Chen Wenzhe really wants to know about it.
After all, he now imitates porcelain, and one imitation is an imitation of the entire set.
Since we want to imitate the official kiln porcelain of the Ming Dynasty, these controversial and extremely small quantities of porcelain are even more worthy of attention.
The second emperor of the Ming Dynasty was Emperor Jianwen. As a tragic emperor in the history of the Ming Dynasty, that period of history is already well known.
He only reigned for four years before he was ousted from the throne by his fourth uncle on the grounds that he was cheating on the Qing emperor.
Emperor Jianwen is also a big mystery in history, so whether there were porcelain during the Jianwen period is also a hotly debated topic among experts.
According to historical records, every emperor who came to power would order large quantities of porcelain to be fired without interruption.
Therefore, porcelain from the Jianwen period must exist, but the number should be very small, and it is difficult to preserve, so it is difficult to see it now!
In fact, if you think about it, you should know that Emperor Jianwen only reigned for four years. Even if porcelain was fired in this time, how much could be produced?
However, these porcelains may not have retained payment, which makes it even more difficult to determine whether they are from the Jianwen period.
Maybe there are porcelains that have been handed down but are considered to be from the Hongwu and Yongle periods?
Therefore, this period of time is also called the blank period of the Ming Dynasty.
When talking about the Ming Dynasty, we have to talk about Yongle, and when talking about Yongle, we definitely have to talk about Jianwen.
Speaking of Jianwen, those who are not familiar with Ming history may not be able to recall some of them.
Especially in the art industry, the Jianwen Dynasty is a relatively forgotten dynasty.
Zhu Yunwen, Emperor Jianwen, was the direct grandson of Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty.
His father, Zhu Biao, was the eldest son. His first wife and eldest son died young. Later, Zhu Yunwen's mother corrected him, so Zhu Yunwen was regarded as the eldest grandson by Hongwu.
Since his father died young, Zhu Yuanzhang passed the throne to him in order to maintain the advantage of the eldest son.
Since ancient times, it is difficult to summarize whether one is lucky or unlucky to be born into an emperor's family.
It can be said that it is a tragedy to fall on Zhu Yunwen.
Throughout Chinese history, the second emperor of every dynasty was precarious in the ups and downs.
This is a very natural phenomenon. It is said that it is easier to start a business than to keep it.
The founding emperor worked hard with all entrepreneurs. Regardless of his personal charm or intimidation, he was destined to stand at the top of the pyramid, undisputed;
But the second emperor is different. May I ask, who are you?
This is not to mention that on the political level, you and I are competing for the support!
Therefore, since ancient times, in all the dynasties we know, the second person in succession is often the most likely to have trouble.
Qin and Sui Dynasties both died in the second generation;
As strong as the Han Dynasty, his relatives are also the masters of the family;
The Xuanwumen Incident in the Tang Dynasty and the sound of candle shadow and ax in the Northern Song Dynasty;
If the Mongol-Yuan Empire had not been driven by Genghis Khan's young son, who had great talent, a clear understanding of righteousness, and a willingness to sacrifice himself, the Mongol-Yuan Empire would have been almost exhausted at a time when the country's fortunes were auspicious.
All this is in the past, and now, it falls on Zhu Yunwen, and it is the battle of Jingnan.
From the moment Emperor Jianwen ascended the throne, it can be said that he spent the rest of his life as emperor in uneasiness.
From the beginning, he knew that there would be a battle with his uncle.
But what about those around him? Looking back, he saw that all those who knew how to fight were killed by his grandfather who was so considerate. It was so sad...
Whether it was the previous interview with Lao Zhu or the reduction of the vassal clan, the timing was not grasped well.
For an empire with an unstable political situation, the second emperor was a young man who was born in a deep palace and was stronger than a woman, so he was destined to experience great turmoil.
After the Jingnan incident, Jianwen disappeared.
Therefore, during the Zhong Jianwen dynasty, he did not put any thought into the production of official kiln porcelain.
Therefore, most of the Jianwen official porcelain discovered so far is still controversial, and none of them is signed, making it difficult to verify.
After Yongle came to the throne, everything in the Jianwen Dynasty was destroyed like a carpet.
This undoubtedly made the already scarce Jianwen official porcelain even worse.
To be fair, Jianwen has made certain achievements in the country's production and construction.
He abolished some of the cruel and high-pressure policies of Lao Zhu's era, governed the world with leniency and benevolence, despised corvee and despised taxes, and for a while, the government was in harmony with the people, and the national treasury was filled.
However, all this was at a disadvantage to his fourth uncle!
As for the rumors about Emperor Jianwen's many foolish moves, they are definitely not all true.
Now if you look at the history of the Ming Dynasty, you will know that the Manchu and Qing dynasties have blackmailed all the emperors of the Ming Dynasty!
Therefore, in order to show that he was in the right position, Zhu Di naturally tried his best to belittle Emperor Jianwen.
Of course, Emperor Jianwen was definitely not a wise king, otherwise he would not have been overthrown so easily.
For example, Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty defeated Obei at the age of ten. Even if he was not a wise man, he was still very wise as a young man.
