How hot is the Songguan kiln? Yongzheng Qianlong is a fan

The emperors of the Qing Dynasty, especially the Yongqian and Qian dynasties, had a fondness for the famous kilns of the past.

Yongzheng Ye, who has a high aesthetic section, is even more admired for Song Dynasty porcelain, and his elegant and pure, fresh and unconventional aesthetic is in line with the temperament of Song ware under the influence of Science.

During his reign, there are often records of Song dynasty inlaid with gold feet, heavily matched with exquisite lacquer seats, and Chen Yuduo's treasures; and the paintings of that time often have reflections.

For example, in the "Yongzheng Twelve Beauty Figures", the Ru kiln azure oval daffodil basin and three-legged plate on the Duobao Pavilion are like the "Jurui Diagram" painted by Lang Shining in the first year of Yongzheng, and Ti Ruilian and Ruigu are inserted in a Songguan kiln string pattern plate bottle, and the bottle is supported by rosewood seats.

Look closely at the vase, the mouth of the bottle is disc-shaped, cylindrical neck, broad shoulders, bulging abdomen, and the lower part is a circular circle foot. The neck and drum abdomen each have three raised hoop-shaped string patterns, which are quite similar to the Songguan kiln blue glazed string pattern bottles now stored in the Palace Museum, and it is not known at that time or according to its paintings:

In addition to collecting Song porcelain treasures, the Yongzheng Emperor also often reproduced them. At that time, the Qing Palace Internal Affairs Office and the inspector of the imperial kiln factory, Nian Xiyao, and Tang Ying, who assisted the kiln inspector in managing the imperial kiln factory, constantly fired porcelain such as imitation Ru kiln, imitation official glaze, imitation glaze, and imitation hook glaze according to the will of the Yongzheng Emperor.

The Qianlong Emperor, who is full of innovative spirit, also inherited his father in appreciating the ancient feelings, and detailed records can be found in the Qing Palace archives, such as on the sixth day of the first month of May in the third year of Qianlong, there was a purpose of "One piece of Ru glaze flower, one piece of Junyao Shuangxi vase, one piece of official glaze gourd ma gua bottle, one piece of Junyao paper mallet bottle, one piece of factory official glaze six-hole bottle, one piece of holly porcelain small flower arrangement, one piece of moon white glaze six-hole bottle, one piece of Xuanhua target lotus five-inch plate, one piece of Daguan glaze five-fold flower insert, and one piece of Longquan glaze sugar gong washing." Transmission: The Longquan glaze sugar gong was washed and handed over to Tang Ying to be fired with this glaze water, and another pattern was changed. Xuanhua enlarged the pattern in the heart of the lotus five-inch plate, and the pattern was more delicate, and it was still fired. The remaining eight pieces, as usual, were fired in different colors, and they were admired"—the situation at that time can be seen.

One of the five famous kilns, the official kiln, refers to the imperial porcelain kiln directly built by the Song Dynasty official government, and the Song official kiln is divided into the Northern Song Dynasty official kiln and the Southern Song Dynasty official kiln.

It is generally believed that the Northern Song Dynasty official kiln was founded by Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, and under the direct control of Emperor Huizong, the Northern Song Dynasty official kiln was based on the ancient bronze shape as a facsimile, giving green glaze, muscle pigment without hua, grained ice cracks, purple mouth iron foot. Its aesthetic achievements are not under Ru porcelain;

The Southern Song Dynasty official kiln was built by Zhao Jian, the son of Emperor Huizong of the Southern Song Dynasty, who inherited his father's excellent aesthetic ability, and the Southern Song Dynasty court also continued the system of building kilns in the Northern Song Dynasty. The kiln is placed in the Shuuchi division to make a green kiln vessel, named the inner kiln.

This passage can be followed in the Southern Song Dynasty's "Negative Miscellaneous Records":

Xuan, Zhengjian, Jingshi self-placed kiln firing, named 'official kiln', Zhongxing crossed the river, there is Shao Chengzhang raised the Houyuan, the number 'Shao Bureau', the kiln made by Emperor Huizong, yu Xiu Neisi made green utensils, named 'inner kiln'... A new kiln was erected under the altar in the back suburbs, also known as the 'official kiln', which was bigger than the old kiln.

It is worth mentioning that the Southern Song Dynasty official kilns are very advocating "high-grade gray", and their glaze color is a series of gray tones of pink, beige, gray blue, and emerald green. There is a description in Mr. Ma Weidu's "Drunken Civilization":

The gray-blue glaze advocated by the Song Dynasty was very convergent. The porcelain we see today is generally very bright and gorgeous, and the sensory stimulation given to us is very strong. If we can calm down and look at such a piece of porcelain, see a gray, faint, convergent porcelain that is more than a thousand years away from us, we should have a kind of thinking about the culture at that time. The expression of our culture has both a warm and colorful side and a subtle convergence side. It is not easy to understand the official glaze of a thousand years ago today, and I do not know what kind of pleasure this official glaze brought to the royal family at that time, but it should be known that our nation and culture once had such a glorious moment.

This elegant gray-cyan color comes from the Song Guan kiln, but also from our nation's search for Ya root, according to which the Guanfu Museum specially fired the [imitation Song Guan Kiln Tea Cup] four styles to continue the beauty of the elegant era

What is the essence of the so-called imitation? Its color, its glaze, and its pattern are all "searching". All kinds of things are outside, craftsmanship is a little better, gentleness is inside, and in the end we visit the spirit.

The Qianlong Emperor once carved a poem on the imitation official kiln ware in the Ming Dynasty: "Li Tang Yue ware has long been called nothing, and the Zhao and Song official kilns are precious and lonely." The color is from the pink and green fire, and the blood of the eel splits the ice skin. Mozi is really simple, and the aria is still not unworthy. Give to whom to join Chang ji, and the hairpin flower will be a negative slave"

It can be seen that what posterity "visits" is the charm of the previous generation, and it is also the aesthetic and spiritual resonance that can be used by "today's people", created because of thought, used because of creation, and applied the originally unreachable "former elegance" to the present, which is not the real memory of those glorious moments in our national culture...
