Chapter 1946: The one who is as red as rouge is the best
Things are unpredictable. Now Chen Wenzhe has become a real rich man. No matter who gives him an antique, as long as it has collectible value, he can buy it at a high price.
If you want to collect something, you can spend money to buy it without hesitation. This requires extremely strong strength.
The most important thing is to have a reputation. Many people will send him good things when they have them. This kind of life is what Chen Wenzhe originally dreamed of.
Therefore, now Chen Wenzhe can be regarded as the person he once envied the most, and he is very happy to be able to do this.
After the joy, some troubles followed, such as some highly controversial academic issues.
Because you are famous, this kind of problem is inevitable.
For example, did Jun kiln porcelain exist in the Song Dynasty? Is it possible that Jun kiln porcelain only appeared in the Yuan Dynasty?
As one of the five famous kilns in the Song Dynasty, "Jun Kiln" first appeared in the book "Xuande Ding Yi Pu" written by the Ming Dynasty.
However, there is no record of it in the Song Dynasty documents.
What is the reason? It is still a mystery.
In the Song Dynasty, "Jun Kiln" was included in "Ruzhou Kiln" or "Ru Kiln", so the title of Jun Kiln appeared again.
"Dark purple, pinkish blue with slight purple color. Very thick texture." This is the initial description of Jun porcelain in just 14 words.
"Strong" in porcelain is a derogatory term, because that kind of porcelain means stocky, or small!
In the mainstream narrative of ceramic history, Jun porcelain is regarded as one of the seven small official kilns of the Song Dynasty, but its true origin has always been confusing.
The color of pig's liver is red on the outside, green and green, and the color is like saliva. All the eight colors are enough to burn. If it had this color, it would be called snot, saliva, pig's liver, etc., which is ridiculous.
The words of the seven people represent the Ming people's general impression of Junci.
Therefore, Jun porcelain is most often said to have a small variety and a typical glaze color. It is usually a small plate with azure glaze and colorful spots, and it is a rare high-quality product.
And there are no words to prove it, that is, "in the small view, the color of the kiln changed, and it was as red as cinnabar. It was said that Ying was confused and the object was abnormal and turned into a monster. The kiln owner urgently broke it."
By the middle of the Northern Song Dynasty, the scale of the kilns continued to expand, and the varieties continued to increase.
In the "Song Family Rules Department" written by Song Xu in the 11th year of Hongzhi, which was not in 1504 AD, there were 21 kiln entrances listed such as Chai, Ru, Guan, Dong, Ge and Ding, and Junzhou kiln ranked 14th.
Therefore, there was no such thing as the "Seven Famous Kilns of the Song Dynasty" at that time.
"The Junzhou kiln has a few colors, but the luster is too revealing, and the vessel is extremely small."
Junzhou kilns have fewer round pots and more long pots. Square pots are better made from water chestnuts and sunflowers, but they can only be used for growing cattails.
In addition to white flowers on white ground, white glaze with green color and eight colors of Song Dynasty, pearl ground carving, twisted tire, stirred glaze and many other varieties.
During that archaeological excavation, more than 20 large pits were cleared from the ground, all of which were filled with relatively pure Jun porcelain fragments, distributed over an area of ββ200 square meters.
In the world of the Song Dynasty, when Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty "dedicated himself to embellishment with Ruiwen," and the scholar-officials "took advantage of each other and cheated", people in the country rushed to offer favors to the emperor.
Seventh, it is famous for its small size, but "jun is too large for a ruler";
Therefore, the saying "Jun was buried" is also true.
According to its place of origin, Juntai or Junzhou (Jin Dynasty), it is called "Jun Kiln" or "Jun Porcelain".
Eighth, there is nothing left in the countryside, which can be used for planting flowers and grass.
There are no blue and white porcelain, carved Ru celadon, white glazed rabbit hair Tianmu porcelain and kiln-turned Jun porcelain.
Therefore, in the literature of the Song Dynasty, there are few words such as "Ruzhou's new kiln ware", "Ruzhou was ordered to build Qingyao ware", "It is forbidden to burn in Ru kiln palace" and "Only use Ru ware", etc., which have nothing to do with "Ru"
statement.
The earliest Jun porcelain production area became an "official kiln" monopolized by the imperial court and appointed officials to supervise the firing.
Physical evidence shows that Juntai Kiln began to set up kilns to fire porcelain in the early Northern Song Dynasty.
Of course, he is not a kiln owner who believes in evil.
Although Jun kiln is not recorded in the literature of the Song Dynasty, its ancient kiln field was discovered in Yu County, Nanhe, its birthplace.
Therefore, a kiln in Juntai was specially designated as the production area for royal firing kilns to transform Jun porcelain.
But people in the Ming Dynasty preferred single colors, especially dark red.
Junzhou, in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, was connected with Jun, so people often referred to Junzhou kiln and Jun kiln as Junzhou kiln, Jun kiln.
Today, when appreciating Jun porcelain, I am as happy to name the kiln patterns as I am to watch fire clouds.
Moreover, it was the time when "Genyue" was being built, so containers and displays for growing exotic flowers and plants were needed.
Wen Zhenheng's "Changwu Zhi" records the elegant material life of the scholars, and the magnificent "Junzhou Kiln" utensils are among them.
And they are all within the jurisdiction of Ruzhou. According to the practice of using state names for kilns in the Tang and Song Dynasties, the kilns within the scope of Ruzhou are collectively called "Ruzhou Kiln" or "Ru Kiln".
Such a situation is actually not caused by the following superstitious practices.
However, at that time, the kiln owner was unreasonable about the porcelain in the kiln and thought it was a monster that made it an auspicious object, so as soon as he found it, he smashed it and buried it deeply to avoid causing trouble and harming people.
That is, the white ground and white flower porcelain production area of ββthe Cizhou kiln system;
It can be seen that at that time, the four production areas in the same area were firing the same products, so it was not allowed to use the same title to name the kilns.
Zhang Yingwen's "Secret Collection of the Qing Dynasty" also arranged the order of glaze colors: "The red ones from Junzhou kiln are as red as rouge, the green ones are green, the purple ones are like ink, the second ones...the mixed colors are enough."
At that time, it was a private kiln, and its main production varieties were white ground and black flower porcelain for the needs of folk life.
As Mr. Zhao Qingyun said, among the most commonly excavated kilns in ancient Juntai, there are four professional firing areas of the same type.
Only by breaking down the attachments such as "Jun is buried" can we understand Jun porcelain.
However, during the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, due to the need for reference materials for casting copper furnaces, the kilns were sorted out into different categories, and the kilns that were no different from other celadon became porcelain.
In the 1970s, archaeological excavations were conducted at the kilns near Juntai.
All this proves that Jun porcelain is really an official kiln of the Song Dynasty, but it may not have been named yet.
In the Ming Dynasty, a kind of porcelain from Junzhou, with its colorful glaze and simple shape, broke into the narratives of literati.
In the fourteenth year of Wanli (AD 1591), the playwright Gao Lian concluded that Jun porcelain was worthy of little use in "Four Notes of Zunsheng".
White glaze Tianmu porcelain production area; celadon engraved and printed Ru porcelain production area; Jun porcelain production area.
As a result, no kiln owner turned the kiln into Jun porcelain and returned it as a gift, and it was favored by Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty.
Red is like rouge, green is like verdant green, and purple is like ink white.
Zhang Dai added: "It's less of a flower vat or a flower pot."
First, "one color enters the kiln, and many colors emerge from the kiln", which just seems too noisy;
I am also disappointed with the vulgar name of Jun glaze. Ruojunzhou kiln is cinnabar red, verdant green (commonly known as parrot green), and eggplant skin purple.
Based on archaeological excavation data and combined with literature, it may be a starting point for solving this mystery.
In October 2007, archaeologists excavated two tombs from the mid-Jin Dynasty at the Wenfeng Road construction site in XC City. Among the unearthed cultural relics, six Jun porcelain vessels were not found.
Eighth ones with pure color and multiple changes are classified as lower grade. The bottom is not one, and the seven-digit number is used as a mark.
That was the evaluation of Jun porcelain by the famous scholar Wang Shizhen.
Among porcelain, beaten ones are so difficult to fire.
