Dingyao World - Dingyao Porcelain Exhibition
Dingyao is the most famous white porcelain kiln in the ancient north of the mainland, which has experienced a history of nearly 800 years from the creation of the Tang Dynasty to the demise of the Yuan Dynasty. In the late Tang Dynasty, the kiln was able to burn exquisite high-grade white porcelain, and the Song Dynasty entered its heyday, and was known for being good at firing exquisite carved and printed white porcelain, and it was the most famous white porcelain kiln in the north of the Song and Jin dynasties. The new process of "overfiring method" created by Dingyao has had a huge impact on many kilns, including Jingdezhen. During the Song and Jin dynasties, many kilns in the north and south imitated the firing of fixed kiln printing and carved white porcelain, thus forming a large-scale "fixed kiln system". Although the kiln is a folk kiln, because of its excellent quality, "the kilns are incomparable". From the late Tang Dynasty to the Jin Dynasty, porcelain for court and official use has been burned, representing the highest level of Chinese white porcelain during this period.
In order to thoroughly implement the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important instructions of "making cultural relics come alive", the Gansu Provincial Museum and the Dingzhou Museum jointly launched the "Dingyao World - Dingyao Porcelain Exhibition". The exhibition is divided into four units: "The Name of Dingyao", "The Essence of Dingyao", "The Beauty of Dingyao" and "The Great White of the World", with a total of 120 pieces of porcelain from the Dingzhou Museum and 37 pieces of porcelain from the museum. Through the display of cultural relics, text descriptions of exhibition panels, comparative maps of cultural commonalities and differences, paintings, sand table models, restoration of ruins and scenes, as well as three-dimensional images, digital animation, electron lasers and other scientific and technological means, the exhibition uses cultural relics as the carrier to allow the public to discover the charm of ancient ceramics at close range and witness the beauty of Chinese civilization.
"Each piece of porcelain has its own unique story, which has witnessed the development of Dingyao porcelain and the glory of the ancient Chinese porcelain industry. Here, we can have an in-depth understanding of the historical background, production technology and artistic characteristics of Dingyao porcelain, and we can also feel the breadth and profundity of ancient Chinese culture. Zhao Qian, who went to university in Lanzhou, made a special trip today to see the "Dingyao World - Dingyao Porcelain Exhibition".
The exhibition will close on July 18 and will last for two months.
