This green-glazed red ground and lotus-shaped lid vase has a very unique shape.
It perfectly matches the characteristics of Jianwen, but does not look like the porcelain of Hongwu and Yongle.
There are actually not many porcelains like this, but their identities are difficult to determine.
However, as long as it is ancient porcelain that has left inscriptions and inscriptions, then it is worthy of study.
For example, a colored porcelain celestial vase with blue ground and green glaze with five claws and dragon pattern is very delicately made.
Especially the finely carved green five-clawed dragon is majestic.
This dragon-patterned celestial sphere vase is 42 centimeters high, and the five-clawed official dragon is very vividly depicted.
The dragon head is like Emperor Jianwen, who is gentle and gentle, while the dragon claws are strong and powerful.
Buddhism and Taoism were prevalent in the society of the Ming Dynasty, and the religious cloud patterns with strong religious flavor were all over the body of the vessel.
The "Fu Shan Shou Hai" on the lower end of the bottle's belly is a common decoration in Ming Dynasty society to express the peace and prosperity of the country and the people.
The carving is even more delicate, and the white-glazed blue flowers on the bottle shoulder are decorated with a rectangular pattern "made in the Jianwen Year of the Ming Dynasty".
This style of writing has a clear and dignified font in regular script.
In addition, the white glaze is as warm and moist as white jade, and the green material is naturally thick and deep. It is difficult to say that it is ordinary porcelain.
As for saying it is a fake, that is even more wrong, because this piece of porcelain is too delicate.
Especially the blue glaze on the bottle that is as beautiful as sapphire, warm and subtle, with rippling blue waves.
Such glaze color is difficult to imitate even by modern masters.
In particular, the temperament of this kind of porcelain is difficult to match with that of Hongwu and Yongle.
Not to mention anything else, just the gentle and elegant green dragon contrasts with the unique glaze color, which makes it very elegant.
What is the temperament of Hongwu and Yongle? Heroic and majestic?
At this point, Emperor Jianwen was obviously too weak.
Of course, as an emperor, his official kiln utensils are not lacking in momentum.
For example, this piece of porcelain has a majestic shape and is full of charm as a royal vessel.
Such porcelain must be a rare and powerful evidence for studying the history and culture of Jianwen in the Ming Dynasty.
If its identity can be determined, it must be a rare Ming Dynasty Jianwen porcelain that is rarely seen today.
Judging from the characteristics and data of these Jianwen official porcelains, it is very likely that they were rewards given to meritorious officials by Emperor Jianwen at that time.

And he hid before the end of the "Battle of Jingnan", thus escaping a disaster!
Today, hundreds of years later, we are lucky enough to see it, and it is a rare fate.
It is a pity that the porcelain of this period is too difficult to identify.
Therefore, even some porcelains that are highly recognized by insiders are not recognized by everyone due to various reasons.
This is an antique arena. If there are arenas, there will be competition for points. This is normal.
In Chen Wenzhe's view, the brilliance of truly good things cannot be concealed.
Archeology is about excavation, evidence collection, and looking for clues left by predecessors.
Where to look? Where to look? Searching is naturally about looking for the real thing.
To study where there is water and soil, it is only valuable to conduct on-site water and soil research.
When studying Jianwen porcelain, it is natural to look for related porcelain.
You don’t know if you don’t do research, but if you really do research, you will find that there are quite a few porcelains related to Emperor Jianwen, or possibly related.
For example, the piece of porcelain in Chen Wenzhe's hands must be a blue and white porcelain from the early Ming Dynasty.
First of all, this is an antique, and it can also be related to Jianwen or Zhu Yuanzhang, which is not simple.
Such a fine piece of porcelain was produced in an official kiln in the early Ming Dynasty, so any clues on it are very important.
This is a blue and white porcelain plate. There is a poem on the plate that says: "There is nothing more than teaching three paths, has there ever been a new frost to cut it off?"
And there is a signature on the bottom, which says: "Long Li".
If we study it from the perspective of archeology, then archeology should be a matter of hundreds of schools of thought contending, each expressing his or her own opinion.
And on top of this piece of porcelain, porcelain from the early Ming Dynasty, plus poetry, you may be able to gain something.
As long as you are willing to analyze this poem and the inscription, you can gain something.
As for the poem: "If there is nothing but teaching three paths, has there ever been a new frost to cut it off?", this should be the ancestral teaching of Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang to the descendants of the royal family.
The signature: "Changli" should be the reign name of Emperor Jianwen.
Why? Because in Chinese, Changli is a Chinese word, which means growing up and becoming self-reliant.
And what does it mean when it appears on a piece of porcelain from the early Ming Dynasty? Isn’t it about growing up and becoming independent?
The poem: "There is nothing more than teaching the three paths." What does it mean?
Since the blue and white porcelain plate dates from the early Ming Dynasty, some meanings can be analyzed and understood based on the actual situation in the early Ming Dynasty.
According to Liu Bowen's prediction in the Hongwu Year of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang believed: [There is nothing wrong with it].
In the future, there will be something or not. In the future, King Zhu Di of Yan will rebel and usurp the throne. This matter of right and wrong will be [given three paths].
He still passed on the throne to the third branch of the direct line of the Zhu family, that is, the third generation grandson, Zhu Yunwen, as the grandson and prince, the crown prince, and the future emperor.
Verse: "Have the new frost cut off a piece of it?" This sentence should be Zhu Yuanzhang's warning to his descendants not to kill each other.
[There has been a new frost] That is, ever, whether, because there will be a new frost tomorrow.
That is to say, I heard that King Zhu Di of Yan will rebel in the future.
To cut off is to cut off a branch of the tree.
That is to say, King Zhu Di of Yan and his descendants from the same clan were exterminated and disappeared from the Zhu family tree.
The general meaning of the poem is: Warn the descendants of the Zhu family, whether your uncle King Yan rebels in the future, you will pass on the throne of emperor to Zhu Yunwen, who is the grandson of the emperor.
You, Zhu Yunwen, cannot have your uncle, King Yan, exterminated from the Zhu family name just because of what was predicted.
Therefore, according to Ming history records, Emperor Jianwen had many opportunities to kill King Zhu Di of Yan.
Moreover, in the early stage, Zhu Gaochi, Xizong who was a hostage in the capital, was released.
All of this allowed King Yan to act without taboos, and Lou Lou was able to escape after the rebellion, and this should not be unrelated to this ancestral precept.
The inscription: "Changli", careful analysis should be the inscription of Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunwen.
Because the official kiln signatures in the early Ming Dynasty did not have a clear record of the payment, and they were mostly careless.
Therefore, [长立] means that when one grows up, one becomes the prince, prince, or emperor, and the eldest grandson becomes the grandson, prince, prince, or emperor.
He clearly pointed out that he was an authentic and orthodox hereditary emperor.
From this side metaphor, King Zhu Di of Yan usurped the throne and was a traitor.
Emperor Yongle was the fourth son of Zhu Yuanzhang, and his throne was not inherited from the orthodox Zhu Yuanzhang.
Since the official kiln porcelain in the early Ming Dynasty did not have a clear inscription or standard year name, we can only make inferences based on Ming historical records and the poems on the actual blue and white porcelain plates.
Of course, a poem can be interpreted in any way.
If you don't agree with it, you can think it is far-fetched.
However, combined with the firing time of the early Ming Dynasty and the official kiln status of the porcelain, we cannot interpret it too wildly.
