Hot ~ Hot ~ Hot ~
Great summer season
Many places have turned on "hot mode"
I want to lie on the edge of the pond and blow the wind......
Could it be that way?
Wouldn't it be nice to be this little turtle!
A small turtle on a lotus leaf
Take you to indulge in coolness
early morning
Mr. Wu woke up from its 100-square-meter lotus leaf bed......
Isn't it like this scene ↓
This lotus leaf-shaped plate has its own coolness
In the center of the lotus leaf lies a small turtle
It's playful and cozy
In the sound of frogs in the pond
Enjoy the summer alone
The design of the lotus leaf is also very realistic
Even the irregular lotus leaf edges and notches have been reproduced
The inside of the plate is engraved with a lotus petal-shaped ornament
It's both unpretentious and sophisticated
And the most charming little turtle is even more lifelike
At first glance, it is inconspicuous in the center of the plate
But it embellishes the lotus leaf with the most energetic vitality
No worries, indulge in coolness

Lotus leaf

I don't know what it is at this moment

Turtle swims lotus leaves
It is one of the very popular themes of arts and crafts in the Tang, Song and Yuan dynasties
As early as in the Han Dynasty literature classics
This intention has already emerged
Sima Qian's "Historical Records and Biography of · Gui Celie" records:
The turtle is a lotus leaf, and there is a total of one yarrow stem.
Most of them are shown as small turtles crawling on large lotus leaves
Later, it was often used in Tang Dynasty bronze mirrors, Song and Yuan dynasty porcelain, jade, etc
Sung by poets
And it often means to celebrate birthdays

This celadon lotus leaf-shaped plate comes from the Longquan kiln of the Yuan Dynasty
Its unique cool glaze color belongs to lime alkali glaze
During the Southern Song Dynasty, it began to burn
Lime alkali glaze is not easy to flow glaze due to high temperature firing
So the glaze layer can be applied thicker
Make the glaze color of the utensils
through the appropriate temperature and reducing atmosphere
Achieve a soft and elegant jade texture
It goes well with the color that matches the summer
Found by the Southern Song Dynasty!
