After understanding the color rendering of blue and white in the Yuan Dynasty, will we be able to imitate the color rendering of the blue and white porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty, or the color rendering of the blue and white porcelain of the Yongxuan period?
For example, the effect of Yuan Qinghua, the hair color is good, the verdant blue, plus black purple spots, isn't it Yuan Qinghua?
As for how to use modern chemical blue and white ingredients, isn't it just a matter of adding or subtracting manganese and iron elements?
It can be said that every time you understand the color rendering effect of a blue and white material, you can imitate many perfect official kiln porcelain.
After understanding the color rendering effect of Suma Liqing, we can imitate Yuan blue and white, Yongle blue and white, or Xuande blue and white.
These porcelains are all famous porcelain.
The most widely used blue and white materials in ancient times were Suma Liqing, followed by Pingpingqing.
Unlike Suma Liqing, Pingpingqing is truly domestically produced.
Due to the limited quantity of Su materials imported, Pingping green materials began to be used during the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty.
Until the early Hongzhi and Zhengde periods, Jingzhen kilns mostly used Pingpingqing.
Pingpingqing has a low iron content and does not cause dark spots to fade.
After firing, the light and elegant color becomes the characteristic of Chenghua blue and white.
There are many advantages of Pingping green material, such as elegant color and delicate appearance.
This domestically produced green material was mainly used in the early days of Chenghua, Hongzhi and Zhengde.
Its color is also very different from the early Suma Liqing.
Pingping cyan is even, elegant and stable in color.
The blue and white with flashes of gray are rendered like cotton wool, quite in the style of ink painting.
The pure white and warm glaze, combined with the hazy blue and white that appears covered by clouds and fog, created the unique style of blue and white porcelain during this period.
Ping Ping Qing's well-known masterpieces include Chenghua blue and white mountain stone flower pattern lid jars, unicorn pattern plates, Kowloon sea pattern bowls, etc.
Domestic green materials like this can be very effective as long as they are used in the right place.
Among the domestically produced green materials, there are also Huiqing materials and Shiziqing.
There are many opinions about the origin of Huiqing.
Xinjiang and Yun may be its place of origin, and some even say it was imported from the Western Regions.
Its origin has not yet been determined, but its characteristics are very representative.
The biggest characteristic of the rejuvenating material is that it is prone to excessive dispersion when used alone.
So what should we do? Find a partner, Shi Ziqing, and mix it.
The characteristic of this green material is that the color is dark but not bright. To understand it simply, if there is too much water, add noodles; if there is too much noodles, add water.
The mixture of Huiqing and Shiziqing has a purple color and can be divided into upper blue and medium blue.
The former is bright in color and used for color filling.
The latter has clear strokes and is used to outline outlines.
The two complement each other and complement each other.
It is this mixed green material that together decorated the blue and white porcelain from the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty to the early Wanli period.
His representative works include Wanli blue and white plum vase with dragon piercing spring pattern, Longqing blue and white dragon and phoenix pattern box, Jiajing blue and white three-goat pattern bowl, etc.

One thing to note here is that Huiqing material was an imported material at that time.
As the name suggests, it comes from the Western Regions where Hui people gather.
The best green material is also called "Buddha's head green", which is a precious green material.
Green material can be used to make blue and white, but Buddha's head green is not the highest quality blue and white material, but the highest quality blue glaze.
High-quality Ji-blue glaze is the best glaze extracted from the green material.
This highest-quality Ji-blue glaze is generally called Buddha's head blue. It is blue with purple in it and is very beautiful, so it is naturally monopolized by official kilns.
Chen Wenzhe has made a lot of antique porcelain before, but now he is imitating blue and white, but through blue and white, he can get involved in many other porcelains.
Among them, Ji blue glaze is the most important one.
Blue glazed porcelain among the single-color glazes, as long as it is made well enough, is still a national treasure.
Now that we have researched the green material and cobblestone, we naturally have to make a good mixture.
As long as you can get Buddha's head blue, it will be easy to make Ji-blue glaze porcelain.
Ji blue glaze is very famous in China and is a treasure of our country's traditional porcelain making technology.
Also known as "Ji blue glaze", "Ji blue glaze", "Jiqing glaze".
Ming and Qing blue glazes are commonly called "Ji Lan", a high-temperature lime alkali glaze.
The green body is glazed and fired at a high temperature of 1280-1300c.
The color is deep, the glaze does not flow or crack, the tone is thick and even, and the color is relatively stable.
Its glaze color is as blue as the deep sea, the glaze surface is uniform and the color is stable. Later generations called it "Jiqing".
And because its color is as stable and bright as a gemstone, it is ranked alongside white glaze and red glaze as one of the three "top grades" of Xuande color-glazed porcelain.
The craftsmanship inherits the tradition of the Yuan Dynasty and continues to be fired. The main shapes are porcelain for sacrificial vessels and furnishings.
Jilan glaze was created in the Yuan Dynasty and has been fired until modern times.
In the early and mid-Ming Dynasty, Ji blue glaze was mainly used for official sacrificial vessels and display vessels. It was a high-end glaze type with fewer quantities than other glaze types.
This is very similar to yellow glazed porcelain, both of which were monopolized by the royal family.
In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, some low-quality domestic cobalt-material Ji-blue glazed porcelain appeared in private kilns.
From the middle period of Wanli period to the end of Chongzhen period and Ming Dynasty, no Ji-blue glazed porcelain fired by official kilns has been discovered.
In the Qing Dynasty, official kilns and private kilns continued to produce Ji-blue glazed porcelain.
However, due to the different cobalt materials, the blue glaze color is no longer as beautiful as the Su material and Huiqing material in the early and mid-Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, as long as it is made before the Qing Dynasty, especially the Ji-blue glazed porcelain before the mid-Ming Dynasty, its market value is very high.
Of course, this does not mean that the Jilan glaze from the Qing Dynasty is of low value.
Because as long as it is an official kiln, its value will not be low.
Especially in the third generation of the Qing Dynasty, Ji blue glaze can even be said to be outstanding!
At an auction in 2011, a blue-glazed chrysanthemum petal-shaped flower pot from the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty actually sold for a sky-high price of 5 million.
A blue-blue and gold-painted double-eared statue with folded branches and flowers from the Qianlong Dynasty was sold at an auction for nearly 9 million.
This shows the charm and value of Ji-blue glazed porcelain. In terms of age, the Ji-blue glazed porcelain of the Qing Dynasty is behind the Yuan and Ming dynasties, but its quality is not far behind, and even better.
People nowadays naturally like porcelain with such high value.
But, what is Ji-blue glaze? Many people really don’t understand this.
If you want to know what Ji Blue glaze is, you must first understand what Ji Blue is.
If a collector has particularly dark blue porcelain at home, you can wonder whether it is Ji-blue glazed porcelain.
Ji-blue glaze is also called Ji-blue glaze, also known as Ji-blue glaze and Ji-blue glaze.
Why are there so many names? Because they all have a reason.
For example, it is called Ji Qing because the ancient concepts of blue, blue, and green were unclear.
Different eras have different craft characteristics, even if they are the same color, they may even have different names.
Ji Lan Glaze's life experience is actually a mystery.
Because there are many related documents saying that it appeared in the Northern Song Dynasty.
But now everyone agrees that it appeared in the Yuan Dynasty.
High-temperature blue glaze porcelain was developed in the Yuan Dynasty. This high-temperature glaze was the predecessor of the later Ji-blue glaze.
From the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, blue glazed porcelain such as Ji blue, Sa blue, sky blue, and peacock blue gradually appeared.
There are so many types and the glaze colors are so beautiful that it’s amazing.
