Chapter 1,571: Those who have gone before are not as good as others, and it will be difficult for future generations to overcome.
Qianlong not only admired the art of previous dynasties, but also seemed to be telling future generations what the aesthetics and attitudes of the prosperous age were.
Even in a modern society that pursues rapid changes, such innovation is shocking.
The ultimate imitation and innovation of the chicken bowl cup in the past dynasties, in the final analysis, stems from the perfection achieved when it was created in the Chenghua Dynasty.
In the history of the development of doucai porcelain, although Chenghua was in its initial stage of prosperity, the craftsmanship and aesthetics of doucai porcelain reached its peak in one fell swoop. It can be said that it is unmatched by previous generations and will be difficult for future generations to surpass.
For example, in terms of color, the most unique thing about Chenghua Chicken Cup is the "bright purple" color on the hens' wings.
It is more gorgeous than the jujube red from the late Ming Dynasty to the early Qing Dynasty, and has a layer of purple light on the surface, making it very beautiful and graceful.
However, this color was never seen again, and the pigment formula was lost.
The soil used to make the chicken pot cup is not the modern kaolin clay, but the unique Macang soil of the Ming Dynasty, which was the imperial "official soil" at that time.
The carcass burned with such soil can show a warm bud yellow color under light.
Such exquisite craftsmanship and the high requirements of the emperor's family, the top quality products are dedicated to the palace, and the defective products are all destroyed, resulting in an extremely low yield.
There are only 10 Ming Chenghua doucai chicken cups in existence in the world, which are recognized as authentic and well-preserved.
Four of them are in the hands of private collectors, and the rest are in museum collections.
Such a precious chicken bowl cup, even if it is an antique imitation, is very rare, not to mention the value of the official kiln imitation itself is not low.
Therefore, the Qianlong imitation chicken cup is still worth collecting.
It's a pity that this is an official kiln from the third dynasty of the Qing Dynasty, not to mention it has very unique characteristics, and it is definitely rare to see in the market now.
During the Qianlong period, Yu Ze, who was inherited from Kangxi and Yongzheng, had reached its peak in national power, so he was naturally very confident.
Therefore, during the Qianlong reign, there were many novelties and innovations.
Speaking of cups, in addition to the very special chicken jar cup, there is also a wine cup that was the favorite of Emperor Qianlong, which is the gold-embedded gold and Ou permanent cup.
Not to mention other things, this cup is inlaid with 32 pearls and gemstones. It is also a gold wine cup, which shows how precious it is.
The open window of the Yangxin Hall prays for blessings and keeps the New Year, and the Jinou Yonggu Cup is filled with the first cup of Tusu wine in the new year.
During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, on every New Year's Eve, Emperor Qianlong would pray in front of the bright window of the Yangxin Hall to pray for blessings and keep the New Year.
When the time comes, Emperor Qianlong will raise his beloved Jin Ou Everlasting Cup to worship the ancestors of heaven and earth, pray for the people's livelihood, and then drink the first cup of Tusu wine in the new year to start the year of good luck.
Later, Emperor Qianlong would also light candles with his own hands, pick up the brush with "evergreen" engraved on the tip, and write down his best wishes for the peace and stability of the country and the country.
The Jin Ou Everlasting Cup, which accompanied Emperor Qianlong's New Year blessings, became one of the most precious heirlooms of the Qing Dynasty royal family.
The dazzling Jin Ou permanent cup is inlaid with 32 colored pearls.
This makes this cup resplendent, elegant and elegant.
The height of the cup is 12.5 cm, and the diameter of the rim of the wine glass is 8 cm.
The shape of the whole body is inlaid with colorful treasures, which is exquisite and exquisite.
It is said that this gold wine cup used about 20 taels of gold, 11 pearls, 9 rubies and 12 sapphires.
There are 32 pearls and gems in total, which can be described as magnificent and radiant.
On both sides of the cup body of the Jin Ou Yonggu Cup, there are symmetrical double dragons as two ears. The dragon head is also inlaid with pearls, showing the shape of two dragons playing with pearls.
Under the gold wine cup, three elephant heads are cleverly designed, symbolizing peace and joy. Each elephant has a large pearl on its head and is dotted with rubies on its forehead.
The elephant's long trunk curled to the ground, just like the three legs of the cup, firmly supporting the entire gold wine cup.
The pattern of "Baoxiang Hui" symbolizes blessings for the peace and stability of the country and the country.
In addition, around the body of the Jin Ou Eternal Cup, there are gold treasure flowers chiselled all around.
The flower core of Baoxiang flower is inlaid with pearls, rubies and sapphires as the flower core.
The mouth of the cup is chiselled into a pattern, symbolizing endless wealth. Traces of emerald green can still be seen faintly around the gold wine cup.
The Jin'ou Yonggu cup has the four characters "Jin'ou Yonggu" chiseled in the middle on one side, and the inscription "Made in the Qianlong Year" chiselled on the other side.
Legend has it that a total of four Jin'ou Yonggu Cups have been handed down.
Due to historical reasons, it is now collected in the Shendu Palace Museum, Wanwan Palace Museum, and the British Wallace Museum.
So what’s so unique about this cup? Of course, it’s full of treasures.
The second unique feature is that the cup is decorated with emerald green, which is the feathers of a kingfisher.
So it is unique both in shape and craftsmanship.
The third is the inscription. One side of the cup is engraved with the seal script "Jin'ou Yonggu" in the middle, and the other side is engraved with the four-character inscription "Made in the Qianlong Year".
Historically, the value of tripods, wine sets and other utensils will double once they have written annotations.
"Jinou" refers to both the wine cup and the country in ancient proverbs. It is a pun when used on the golden cup.
Just from this point alone, the background of Jinbei production has made people imagine.
This "Jinou Yonggu" cup and the cup made under the supervision of Emperor Qianlong are actually the same series, but they are different in the production period and specific details.
According to historical records, in 1739, when Emperor Qianlong personally supervised the production of the "Jin Ou Yong Gu" cup, he also ordered the production of a "Jade Candle Chang Tune" wax stand.
It is obvious that the two artifacts must have their own special purpose.
In fact, since Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty, the system of writing in the open window was established.
The so-called "opening the pen in the bright window" means that on New Year's Day, the emperor picked up a pen and paper, wrote down New Year's blessings for the country, and then drank a glass of Tusu wine to bless the country and the people for a year of peace and prosperity.
Most people drink and write, and that’s all.
However, when you get to the royal family, you have to rise to the level of state affairs, and there is a corresponding complete set of etiquette, which is the ceremony for opening the window.
Regarding this ceremony, Emperor Jiaqing's poem "New Year's Day Examination" contains the following notes:
Every year on New Year's Day, Emperor Shizong went to the west of the bright window of Yangxin Hall. At that time, there was a golden Ou permanent cup on the eucalyptus head in the room, containing Tusu wine;
Jade candle one, hand triggers light;
There is one red lacquer carving cloud dragon tray, eight bronze auspicious burners, and two bronze incense trays.
Shizong put his pen on the stove and began to wet the ink and write.
Use the ink pen first, then the ink pen.
The end of the pen is engraved with the characters "Wannianqing", and the barrel of the pen is called "Wannianzhi".
Write auspicious numbers in red and ink successively to pray for good governance and affairs in one year.
Fujin presented the current year's constitution, and Shizong read it through it to express the meaning of telling the time and saving the year.
After everything was used, Emperor Shizong took care of it himself and ordered someone to collect it.
After Yongzheng, the emperors of all dynasties followed this code, and it became customized in the Qing Dynasty.
It can be seen that the two indispensable utensils for the Mingchuang Kaibi ceremony are the "Jin Ou Yonggu" cup and the "Jade Candle Chang Tune" wax stand.
In this ceremony, the candle stand was used for lighting, so it was named "Jade Candle Chang Tune", which has a profound meaning.
