Mentioning the aesthetic ability of the Song Dynasty people is actually a very humiliating thing for today's people, and the ancestors of more than a thousand years ago actually exceeded the cognition of many modern people.
Many works of art in the Song Dynasty contain a sense of beauty that we have to marvel at. The aesthetics of the Song Dynasty were considered to tend to be "Simple", but not just "Jane".
When it comes to the aesthetics of the Song Dynasty, it has to be said that Song porcelain, the Song Dynasty has five major porcelain kilns of "Ru, Guan, Ge, Jun, and Ding", of which ru kiln is the most famous.
Ru kiln is known for its pure beauty, it uses a kind of porcelain glaze called sky blue glaze, after firing its color throughout the azure blue, and does not use any pattern pattern, expressing the Song people's pursuit of minimalist beauty.
Although the impression of ruyao kiln is minimalist, its production process has nothing to do with "Jane".
The complexity of its process, the exquisite use of materials, and the precision of temperature control are all "complicated" to the extreme. In terms of the production process, the most demanding is actually the Jun kiln of the Song Dynasty.
There is an old saying that goes, "Even if you have a family fortune, it is better to have a kiln." "What Jun Yao expresses is a yearning for the beauty of nature.
The top grade porcelain in the Jun kiln is made of kiln, and its color texture is extremely difficult to control, but once fired, each piece is a unique piece of porcelain.
People's aesthetics are all limited, and no matter how great an artist is, he cannot produce a work of art that everyone agrees with.
But there is an artist whose aesthetic ability is unlimited, and its name is nature.
The manufacturing technology of the jun kiln is extremely cumbersome, it does not know what method is used, it can actually control the uncontrollable kiln change, let nature shape the texture of the porcelain, so that each finished porcelain has a unique and strange texture.
Today, with the loss of ru kiln and jun kiln manufacturing technology, it is possible that these two kinds of porcelain will never be re-emerged. However, the Song Dynasty's interpretation of beauty was also displayed in front of the present people through them.
Nowadays, when people mention the Song Dynasty, most of them have to add a name of "weak Song", but in real history, the Song Dynasty is actually not as weak as everyone thinks.
According to modern scholars, the total GDP of the Song Dynasty during the Xianping Period exceeded one-fifth of the entire gdp of the whole earth at that time, and even far exceeded the most prosperous period of the Tang Dynasty.
How rich was the Song Dynasty? During the reign of Emperor Zhenzong of Song, Wang Dan, the chancellor, once said: "In the capital city of Kaifeng, there are as many as one million assets, and 100,000 abound." ”
Although the army of the Song Dynasty was weak, there is also an interesting data showing that in the history of China, except for some dynasties with short national fortunes, the highest winning rate of foreign wars was also the "weak Song" who sent old coins to foreign tribes every year.
The military situation of the Song Dynasty was sluggish, mainly because of the constraints of the imperial court on the generals, which also caused a huge gap between the comprehensive combat strength of the Song Dynasty army and the economic and cultural level of this era that should not exist.
Although in our usual cognition, the Great Song Dynasty is far less proud than the Han and Tang Dynasties, some foreign scholars have a very high evaluation of China in this era.
An academician of the British Academy of Sciences said: "China's scientific and technological development to the Song Dynasty, has been at its peak, in many ways has actually exceeded the mid-18th century, the level of Pre-Industrial Revolution Europe." ”
A Japanese historian even used this analogy: "The Tang Dynasty was the end of the 'Middle Ages' in the East, and the Song Dynasty was the beginning of the 'modern era' in the East." ”
Although this "modern" Great Song Dynasty was finally shattered beyond recognition in the continuous flames of war. But we can still look at the once prosperous World of the Great Song Dynasty from the cracks of history.
In addition to the Song Dynasty's very beautiful crafts, the calligraphy and paintings of the Song Dynasty are also very fascinating. When it comes to calligraphy and painting in the Song Dynasty, we have to mention the artist Emperor Zhao Yao.
As an emperor, Zhao Tuo has almost no merit, but as an artist, he is absolutely very top-notch and very versatile.
Zhao Tuo established the Hanlin Academy of Calligraphy and Painting, and he not only possessed top painting skills, but also made another machine for the way of calligraphy, creating the first thin gold body.
Zhao Yao's achievements in calligraphy, except that they may be slightly inferior to those of Wang Xizhi, Yan Zhenqing and other talents, are almost not under any calligrapher in the past and the present.
And only in that Song Dynasty, where spiritual civilization was exceptionally developed, could there be such an emperor who had achieved such achievements on many artistic paths.
When it comes to paintings of the Song Dynasty, we have to mention this "Map of the Upper River of the Qingming Dynasty". This work recreates the living conditions of the Song people at that time in a very realistic way.
In this picture, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty is depicted more than a thousand years ago, and most of the buildings in the picture are restaurants and entertainment stores, of which nearly half of the shops sell food and beverages.
In the Song Dynasty Meng Yuanlao's "Tokyo Dream Record", it is also recorded that the snacks in Kaifeng City, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, are more than a hundred kinds according to the type.
It is also said that "the night market did not reopen until the end of the three more, and then the fifth day was reopened." If you play tricks, you know everything." Nightlife is generally considered to be an absolutely modern word, but I didn't expect that as early as a thousand years ago, the people of the Song Dynasty were already in this way...
Figure | Incense
Figure | Tea drawing
Figure | Watch the flowers
Not only is life and diet diversified, but the daily life of the Song people is also full of elegant taste. Wu Zimu, a Song dynasty, wrote in his notebook "Record of Mengliang": "Burning incense and tea, hanging pictures and arranging flowers, four kinds of idle things, it is not appropriate to tire the family." ”
The Song people liked to burn incense and taste tea, watch calligraphy and painting, and organize flowers and plants, and in their view, these elegant things must not be allowed to be done by laymen. Only by personally experiencing the process of doing these things can we not be considered a tyrannical creature.
The literati of the Song Dynasty were extremely elegant, and they regarded talking about things such as piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and drinking, as the foundation of life, and made these things extremely elegant, and their pursuit of beauty was a kind of pursuit of returning to the truth.
Although the yakuza that really appeared in the Song Dynasty, there were not too many. But in this era, there are many things that people are accustomed to giving "ya" character, which is perhaps the most unique place of the Song people.
