Chapter 382 Xiang Zhuan
“So this is...real?”
“I can’t find any reason to think it’s fake, so it’s naturally true.”
< br>"What about the shape of the device?"
"That Liu The third uncle is too mechanical." The fourth cousin said: "First of all, we know that the Ge kiln is actually an imitation of the official kiln. Even if there are very few Ge kilns handed down from generation to generation and they are only furnishings, we cannot rely on this. The conclusion is reached that "Ge Kiln only burns displayware"
"Because even the official kiln porcelain of the Song Dynasty has a wide range of styles and varieties. Although the official kiln mainly produces porcelain for display, there are also stationery utensils, daily utensils and decorative porcelain."
"Display porcelain such as statues, pots, and congs, and decorate daily utensils such as stoves, bottles, Bowls, dishes, washbasins, and even small gadgets such as bird feed jars can be said to be of all kinds.”
“Most of the furnishing utensils are imitated from ancient Zhou and Han Dynasties, and their shapes are rigorous. Solemn and simple in ancient style, coupled with the 'purple mouth and iron feet', it is even more charming and unique. , antique. ”
“But there are actually very few medium-sized wares. The official kiln porcelain of the two Song Dynasties is mainly small. Although it is not large in size, the magnanimity it expresses is still incredible. Just wait and see."
"Okay, We already know that the Ge kiln is actually a top-quality private kiln that pursues craftsmanship as close as possible to the official kiln, and takes the official kiln porcelain as the goal and blueprint. So since the official kiln porcelain is not only furnishing ware, then how can it be possible that the Ge kiln porcelain only has furnishing ware? What?”
"I am not making random inferences. There are already data and facts to prove it."
"The writings related to Ge Kiln were first seen in the 23rd year of Zhizheng in the Yuan Dynasty, in "Zhizheng Zhizheng" written by Kong Qi Notes: "Yi Wei Dong" When I was in Hangzhou, I saw an incense tripod from the Ge Ge Dong kiln. Although it was new, its color was as shiny as the old one. Those who knew it were hesitant to see it. Wang Deweng of Huijingxi also said that the recent Ge Ge kiln is very similar to the ancient official kiln. It must be carefully distinguished. Also. '"
" The 'Ge Ge Dong Kiln' and 'Ge Ge Kiln' referred to here are Ge Kiln, 'unparalleled ancient official kiln', which is consistent with the characteristics of Ge Kiln described in later literature."
"Then. "Xuan De Ding Yi Pu" of the Ming Dynasty said: ' The God of Mazu enshrines the lion-headed and horseshoe stove, imitating the style of Song Ge Kiln, with a height of five inches and six cents."
"This article mentions the 'imitation of Song Ge Kiln style' in many places, and the two articles illustrate several points. Information.”
"The first one can show that the Ge Kiln was already considered a famous kiln in the Song Dynasty during the Yuan and Ming dynasties, which is logical."
"The second one can prove that the Ge Kiln is not only for display ware. In the two works, Among the Ge kiln utensils mentioned, one is an incense tripod and the other is It is a lion head and horseshoe stove. It is obvious that these two are not imitations of ancient ritual vessels made in the Zhou and Han Dynasties. "
"In addition to historical records, "the ancient tomb of Ren from the Yuan Dynasty excavated in Qingpu County in 1953." , Song Dynasty official kiln porcelain and Yuan Dynasty egg white glazed porcelain were unearthed. Among them is a Southern Song Dynasty Ge Kiln vase with an ear. "
"A batch of Yuan Dynasty porcelain unearthed in Yanshui in 1975, including Ge Kiln-type black body celadon, Jingdezhen egg white porcelain and Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain. Including Ge Kiln's straight-necked bottle, bird food jar, and three-legged stove. "
"In 1977, a batch of Yuan Dynasty celadon ware was unearthed in Anqing. The characteristics of this batch of celadon are that the shape of the celadon is somewhat close to that of the official kiln of the Southern Song Dynasty. The cracks are obvious, and the purple mouth and iron feet are obvious, but the glaze color is generally putty and yellow, which is different from the pink and sky blue of the official kilns of the Song Dynasty. ”
"Experts have identified these two batches of porcelain as Ge kilns of the Yuan Dynasty."
"At the same time, a Yuan Ge kiln three-legged furnace was also discovered among the cultural relics of the Yuan Dynasty shipwreck in Xin'an, South Korea."< br>
“None of these porcelains are imitations of ancient ritual vessels made in the Zhou and Han Dynasties. Their discovery has actually corrected the saying that 'Ge Kilns are all ritual vessels', but Liu Sanye may be limited by the old porcelain. It’s just that you don’t know.”
“This is what is said in "Soup Plate Inscription", it is new every day, and it is new every day." Zhou Zhi nodded: "Knowledge also needs to be constantly iterative and updated, and you will learn as you go. "You have to be old." "That's the truth." The fourth aunt said with a smile: "So, congratulations, you made another big mistake."
"After talking for a long time, what is this thing?" Zhou Zhi was a little confused: "I think it's a furnishing utensil, but it doesn't fit the placement of Zhou and Han. I think it's a water dropper in the study utensils. It seems to be a little bigger. I think it's tableware, but it's not. It seems a little smaller and bigger It’s not suitable for people with small mouths.”
The fourth aunt couldn’t help but laugh: “I have carried all the poems in the dog’s belly - spring is hidden in the small pavilion, the day is locked in the idle window, and the painting hall is infinitely deep and quiet. ..."
Week to Monday Clap your hands: "The seal incense is burned out, and the curtain hook is under the shadow of the sun! But it turns out to be a seal incense burner!"
"Yes!" said the fourth aunt: "This is actually a fish basket used by Song Dynasty people to play with seal incense. The seal incense burner is just missing a treasure cover, but it’s nothing "Fish Basket Lord."
Zhou Zhi said with a smile: "It turns out that this is the thing. I only know the various miscellaneous items in "Mengliang Lu". "It's like offering incense and sealing plates, each one has its own mat. , print incense and go away every day, just ask for incense money when the moon comes. ’”
"It shows that there have been professional incense masters since the Song Dynasty. They go to various wine shops and brothels to print incense every day and settle the incense money on a monthly basis. They don't know how to seal the incense."
"The literati and scholars of the Song Dynasty, Many eminent monks and prostitutes are experts at this. The so-called incense sealing is actually the incense seal sealing."< br>
"Fourth aunt, can you play with this?"
Fourth aunt looked at fourth uncle: "It's rare to have such a good object, why don't you demonstrate it to me once?"
The fourth cousin looked at the orchids in full bloom in the courtyard: "Are they useful?"
"Use my Zhongsi to reconcile."
"That shouldn't conflict." The fourth cousin nodded, turned around and took down some things from the bookshelf.
The fourth aunt started to light the pine cone tile stove that the fourth cousin used to make tea, put a copper pan on it, took out some fine incense ash from an incense burner, and baked it in it.
While explaining to Zhou Zhi: "Since the Song Dynasty, various methods of grinding and mixing spices have begun to appear, which are called 'hexiang'. After adding honey, the combined incense can be made into pills, cakes, The shape of a small animal. "Rui Nao Jin Beast" in Yi An's poem refers to This is this kind of incense. "
"If it is used in the form of powder, in order to facilitate ignition, the incense powder must be stamped into a fixed font or pattern with a mold, and then ignited. This method is called It’s called ‘making fragrant seals’.”
"The most famous ones since the Song Dynasty are the four famous incense, which is 'Shentan Longmusk'. At that time, some people had taken equal parts of these four precious spices to make a compound incense, called 'Sihe incense', also known as 'Big Four'. He'."
"Da Sihe is certainly rich and distinguished, but after all, it is not Everyone can afford it, so some experts came up with unique ideas and made another 'Xiaosihe'."
"The materials of Xiaosihe are very simple, "Chen's". It is recorded in "Fragrance Book": Put orange peel, lychee shell, citron fruit core, sugar cane pulp or pear pulp into it. Any of them, mixed together in equal parts, is Xiaosihe. Although the refreshing scent of melon and fruit is not as strong and long as the scent of Shentan Longmusk, it is also clear and distant, and is very special. Its uniqueness"
"It is recorded in "Meilucong Hua" of the Qing Dynasty: Every time. On New Year's Day, the Hall of Supreme Harmony was established, and the incense in the golden furnace was made from the dried peels of four kinds of pear and apple. It has been used for a long time, and it actually dates back to the Song Dynasty. The handed down 'Little Sihe'"
