In the Beijing Winter Olympics, every athlete who wins a medal will receive a "golden pier" after the competition. Unlike ordinary ice piers, the "Golden Piers" are surrounded by golden garlands made of "pine bamboo plums".
Shochiku plum is also known as the "Three Friends of the Cold Year" in China. In the Nanjing Municipal Museum, the Modern Express reporter saw a plum bottle with the same pattern of "Jindundun" - the three friends of the year han plum bottle. Delicate small mouth, tall figure, white glaze transparent and slightly bluish. On the "big belly" of the plum bottle, dark red pine, bamboo and plum are depicted, accompanied by plantains, camellias and mountain stones, and the neck and shin are also decorated with auspicious ornaments such as ruyi pattern, curly grass pattern, tangled chrysanthemum pattern, sea water pattern, etc., showing elegant beauty.
"The pattern on the porcelain bottle is generally cyan, and the preciousness of this plum bottle lies in the dark red pattern." Shi Hongyang, a librarian at the Nanjing Municipal Museum, told the Modern Express that the Three Friends Plum Bottle is an outstanding representative of the red porcelain in the glaze of Jingdezhen in the Ming Dynasty. Glaze red is one of the decorative techniques of underglaze color porcelain, craftsmen use copper red glaze as a colorant, draw patterns on the tire, cover with transparent glaze, and after firing in a high-temperature reducing atmosphere, the surface of the porcelain shows a dark red pattern. "The red porcelain in the firing glaze has very strict temperature requirements in the kiln room, which is difficult to sinter and has a low yield, so the number of surviving is very small and very precious."
Who is the owner of the precious glazed red plum bottle? According to Shi Hongyang, the plum bottle of the three friends of the year was excavated in 1991 from the joint tomb of Song Xuan and his wife in DongshanQiao, Jiangning, Nanjing. According to Song Xuan's epitaph, he was the grandson of Song Sheng, the founding hero of the Ming Dynasty, Marquis Song Sheng of Xining and the son of Princess Ancheng.
Princess Ancheng is the third daughter of Ming Chengzu Zhu Di, and as Zhu Di's grandson, it is not surprising that she can have such a precious glazed red plum bottle.
This gold medal is not simple, recording the family training more than 600 years ago
At the Winter Olympics, the attribution of gold medals has always been remarkable.

The upper end of the round gold medal is decorated with two golden banana leaves with holes in the middle. The middle of the front is engraved with five large characters of "The Testament of the King of Qianning", and the left and right sides are engraved with "This card must be used" and "Print ribbon" in smaller fonts. On the back of the gold medal reads: "All my descendants must be loyal to serve the country, be diligent and careful in their affairs, and treat their colleagues with modesty and modesty. "
Shi Hongyang revealed that this gold medal should be wearable, but when it was unearthed, it was not in the coffin of the tomb owner, more like a family training card. "It is the only piece seen in ming archaeology so far, and it is very precious."
What is the legend of this family? The first generation of Qianning Wang Muying was a hero of the founding of the country in the early Ming Dynasty, and was also the adopted son of Zhu Yuanzhang, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty. According to the "History of Ming", he was adopted by Zhu Yuanzhang at the age of eight, and at the age of twelve, he began the Southern Expedition to the Northern War. In the fourteenth year of Hongwu (1381), Mu Ying, who was less than forty years old, pacified Yunnan and stayed in Dianzhen until his death. During his ten years in Yunnan, he greatly promoted the fields, persuaded the peasants to learn, lixian, spread the culture of the Central Plains, and the frontier was stabilized. Mu Ying was only forty-eight years old when he died of illness, and Zhu Yuanzhang, who felt great sorrow, posthumously honored him as the King of Qianning. After that, the descendants of the Mu clan guarded Yunnan for generations until the end of the Ming Dynasty.
