This rotary bottle is composed of four parts, namely the neck bottle, the abdominal bottle, the bottom bottle, and the inner tank bottle, and the outer wall neck bottle and the bottom bottle are painted with carmine and painted with carmine, and the two sides are pasted with dragon ears. The outer wall of the abdominal bottle is carved with the scenery of xiangyun mountain forest, the mountains are rugged, the flowers and trees are verdant, and a colorful phoenix flies in the clouds, with the theme of "there is a phoenix to come to the ceremony"; from the hollowing out of the bottle to see the inner tank rotation, all kinds of birds are multiplying, with the meaning of "a hundred birds and phoenixes", filled with flowers and birds. This bottle combines magenta, fruit green, alum red, gold color, turquoise green glaze, carmine material color, blue material color in one, set rolling road, carved porcelain, hollowing, turning the heart and other processes, the picture is complex and not messy, everywhere reveals the royal prestige, ingenious craftsmanship, beautiful extreme.

The neck is decorated with bats and hanging, with the beauty of Fuqing continuously, and the banana leaf pattern interior is turtle pattern brocade. There is a sentence of "Sher Linggui, watch me eat", so the Qianlong Emperor thought of using the turtle back to symbolize longevity. The "Yihexuan" partition of Ningshou Palace and the plaque are linked, that is, the word "Yang" is spelled out by The Screw in the shape of a turtle's back, which echoes the decoration of this vessel and has the meaning of praying for longevity.

The outer wall of this bottle is carved with phoenix wings stretching, and the feathers are gradually rendered, and the sparkle is bright. There is a Phoenix Laiyi from the "Shang Shu Yi Ji": "Jiu Shao Jiu Cheng, Phoenix Lai Yi". The phoenix is the legendary king of the birds and an auspicious omen of the ancients. The Classic of Mountains and Seas: "The Mountain of Dan caves... There are birds... Wu Cai and Wen, known as the Fenghuang Emperor. The first text is known as virtue, the wing text is known as righteousness, the back text is known as the ceremony, the text is known as ren, and the abdomen is known as faith. It is a bird also, eating naturally, singing and dancing, and seeing the peace of the world. "The flying phoenix seems to be dressed in various virtues such as virtue, righteousness, benevolence, and faith, and descends from heaven to give the world good fortune and tranquility."

Skeleton carving is one of the decorative techniques of Qing Dynasty porcelain, also known as hollowing and through carving. Its technique is to carve the decorative pattern thoroughly when the body is not dry, and then glaze into the kiln firing, this decorative technique began to appear in the Neolithic pottery, in the long-term development of the process is becoming more and more complex, to Qianlong not only dense ornamentation, process technology requirements are also higher, and the creation of carving and skeletonization and other new varieties, to reach the realm of ghostly craftsmanship. Since the carving is the expression of the pattern through the hollow of the carcass, the hollow part needs to be carefully designed, and the unreasonable design is easy to cause deformation of the artifact when firing.

The hollow outer wall design of the heart bottle is more common in several categories: or the abdomen is in the shape of Jiaotai, such as the Taipei National Palace Museum's Collection of Yangcai Huangjindi Qiankun Jiaotai Rotating Bottle; or the main body of the abdomen is painted with flowers and other patterns, in which there are hollow open light or hollow patterns, the opening of the light is like the flower window of suzhou garden, between turns, move the "step" different scene, there is no hole in the sky, such as the Palace Museum Hidden Yellow Ground Hollow Dry Branch Character Elephant Ear Turning Vase; or the overall skeleton of the abdomen, through the carving of the dragon through the flowers, flower butterflies, cloud bats and other patterns, holes and holes border to seek balance of strength, so that it is formed and stable, For example, the National Palace Museum in Taipei has a magnetic tire Yangcai Linglong rotary bottle.

This piece combines the magic of opening light and permeable carving, but it breaks the usual symmetrical layout, and the outer wall is carved with the natural scenery painted. Asymmetrical, irregular cutouts require elaborate design. If the design is unreasonable, or the carving deviation or the firing temperature is improper, it is very easy to cause deformation of the utensils. The outer wall of this bottle perfectly combines carved porcelain and hollowing, and the hollow place is all based on pictorial intention, without any sense of deliberate carving design, but with artificial ingenuity to restore the magic of nature, the painting is rich, reflecting the craftsman's high technical level and innovative ingenuity.

In the archives of the Qing Palace in the Qianlong period, such bottles may be called "rotating bottles" and "rotating bottles". As recorded in the work file, in the eighth year of Qianlong, "the eunuch Hu Shijie jiaoge kiln icing on the cake to add flowers to the yarrow bottle, Xuanyao blue and white spinning arch extremely honorable one piece ..." The "heart bottle" may have been seen since the end of the Qing Dynasty and continues to this day.

Throughout the generations of kilns, the hollowers have been a number of clever hands, special rare, rotary bottle on this basis, with static porcelain, to create a dynamic effect, the slightest difference in the pool is very easy to damage the porcelain, combination, rotation, its creativity of ingenuity, the difficulty of creation, are amazing! The "Supplement to the Origin of Ancient and Modern Porcelain" published during the Republic of China commented that "those who set bottles, there is a bottle in the bottle that can be turned around and cannot be produced, and its production is ingenious and the color is gorgeous, which can be described as no ancients before and no one after it."

The peak of the highly innovative craftsmanship relies on the ingenuity and efforts of the Inspector Tang Ying. In the Qing Dynasty, the Imperial Kiln Factory set up two positions: the Inspector pottery officer and the associate officer. The inspector is mainly responsible for the upward report, downward transmission, and delivery to Beijing, while the specific matters of porcelain production and the daily management of the imperial kiln factory are mainly responsible for the associate officer. However, Tang Ying was an example among the Overseers. In order to be well versed in the way of ceramics, since Yongzheng was sent to supervise the kiln affairs in the sixth year, Tang Ying "Dumen and Xie Jiaoyou, concentrated on the work, worked hard, and worked with the craftsmen to eat for three years", and finally deeply understood the principles of materials, fire, and changes in shengke, and could no longer only "promise the will of the craftsmen", but could personally participate in the design and production of porcelain, and direct the craftsmen to act according to their wishes. Therefore, in his office, various types of glaze colors were widely created, and there were new forms such as Jiaotai and Turning Hearts, and the abundance of its categories and the essence of the finished products achieved the peak of the Qing Dynasty imperial kiln porcelain firing.

In the eighth year of Qianlong, Tang Ying wrote in the recital, "I have newly prepared a sandwich of Linglong Jiaotai and other bottles, a total of nine kinds, and respectfully fold them and send them to Beijing for submission." "Looking at it today, Linglong Jiaotai shows unimaginable technical difficulties and creativity. Carefully pondering the holy will, combining the principles of porcelain art, from conception to completion, Tang Ying, as the designer and supervisor, must have experienced many painstaking days and nights. As a result, he was still apprehensive: "His new proposed various slaves are ignorant of their own opinions, and they are afraid that they are not suitable, and the materials are not without excessive costs, so they do not dare to build more."

The Qianlong Emperor was obviously quite pleased with this, and ordered to "leave behind his new style of Exquisite Porcelain... Thereafter, a dozen pieces are entered by section, and all of them are to be paired. If they cannot be paired, they will be burned in various ways." The following year, "Tang Ying fired eighteen pieces of colorful icing on the cake, such as spinning bottles and bowls". It was not seen in the Heart-Turning Bottle of the KangYong Period, or was created at this time. Qianlong deeply appreciated this newly created porcelain, and ordered that "eighteen pieces of the painted bottle bowl, and one piece of the Ji Qingding DajinYuan Tianqiu Zun be left, and the remaining 5,272 pieces were sent to the Yuanmingyuan."

The rotary bottle is composed of multiple parts inside and outside. Each part is fired separately, and then stacked, and the size of each component needs to be carefully calculated and fired repeatedly, so there are extremely high requirements for the grasp of tire material and the forming process. Temperature control during firing is also extremely important, and once there is a slight deformation, it will be abandoned, and the yield rate is extremely low. There are many grooves in the fit. In order to make the mortise not easy to fall off, there is viscose when the groove is not. According to the work file, on May 12, 18th year, Qianlong ordered Jingdezhen to "burn a dragon boat to fight a tendon fighting man spinning bottle", and Tang Ying fired it to the fourth day of the first month of November in the nineteenth year of Qianlong. It can be seen that it takes eighteen months to make a heart bottle, which is quite labor-time-

In addition, rotary bottles also have higher requirements for transportation. In the twenty-second year of Qianlong, there was a deputy general manager fifty because he accidentally broke the body of the "three pieces of foreign magnetic rotary bottle" in two places during the transportation, and was severely reprimanded for forty plates and fined money and grain for one year. This also shows the importance attached to rotary bottles. From design, manufacturing, to transportation, from Tang Ying, co-manufacturing officer, general manager, deputy general manager, to the craftsman in each process, it took a year and a half to have the best works we see today. Every surviving heart bottle is priceless.

The outer wall of this bottle is surrounded by carved auspicious clouds, mountains, stones, grasses, and streams; the bottleneck is turned slightly, and the inner bladder rotates accordingly, and the hollow places see quails, reed geese, golden chickens, eagles, peacocks, mandarin ducks and other birds and birds, or stop and look up, or soar, mostly in pairs, as if the hands are rolled in front of the eyes slowly unfolding, as if hearing hundreds of birds singing in unison, if there is a natural sound in the ears. The painting brushes are similar to those of qing palace painters, and masterpieces with the same theme, such as Lang Shining's paintings of "White Eagle" and "Jinchun Tu", can be viewed with similar charm in the bottle body; such as the rare porcelain of the same period such as the enamel colored jinji hibiscus and jade pot spring in the Tianjin Museum, it has also been painted with similar patterns. The birds each have their own auspicious meanings, such as quail harmonic sound an, meaning peace, the golden chicken symbolizes wealth, and the Mandarin duck has the meaning of husband and wife. The National Palace Museum in Taipei depicts a hundred birds and a phoenix in Yang Dazhang's painting "Phoenix Sycamore".

As the bottle turns, the hundreds of birds seem to come to the phoenix, if the pilgrimage queue, just as the "Book of Poetry" clouds, "the phoenix in flight, the feathers, but also the collection of stops", meaning that the phoenix flies high, the birds come to visit. Feng often refers to women, playing with the phoenix, one yang and one yin, Qiankun and Harmony. Throughout the Qianlong Dynasty, those who enjoyed the status of a hundred birds and phoenixes were none other than Qianlong's birth mother, Empress Chongqing. The Qianlong Emperor was very filial to his birth mother, Niu Hulu, and he would be respectful in his words, and whenever he was lucky enough to travel, he would accompany the empress dowager. Judging from the ingenuity of the design, the difficulty of the craftsmanship, and the wonder of the creation of this bottle, it is very likely that it came from the hand of Tang Ying, the inspector of pottery. It may be ordered by the Qianlong Emperor to be burned by Tang Yingding to celebrate the sixtieth birthday of The Chongqing Emperor and Empress Dowager. In the fifteenth year of Qianlong, the year before the 60th birthday of the empress dowager, in preparation for the celebration, the Qianlong Emperor built a large number of civil engineering, rebuilt the Qingyi Garden (the predecessor of the Summer Palace), renovated the West Lake and renamed Itsu Lake, and built the Urn Mountain (that is, Wanshou Mountain). On the day of celebration, from the Xihua Gate of the Forbidden City to the Qingyi Garden, all the way to the lights, the grandeur is unprecedented. This bottle shows a hundred birds and a phoenix, just like the queue of congratulations, the whole world celebrates, and ruiyi is auspicious.

Celebrating the birthday of the mother is not only the place of love, but also conveys the idea of "ruling the world with filial piety", filial piety for the family, in order to be loyal to the country. This bottle may have been a highly cherished birthday celebration, perhaps once displayed in the rebuilt Summer Palace, showing the deep love between mother and child, and spreading the concept of filial piety to parents, loyalty to the king and patriotism.

The undulating mountains on the outer wall of this instrument are surrounded by auspicious clouds, which also reminds people of the words quoted in the Book of Tang in the Song "Taiping Imperial Records", "Haizhou Yanfeng is seen in the city, and hundreds of birds follow, and the northeast flies to cangwu mountain." "The ancients often compared the hundred birds and phoenixes to the monarch and the world was attached to the gods, and the people with high moral standing were expected to return. Flipping through the archives of the Qing Palace, on December 28, 29, Qianlong, The Inspector of Jiujiang Customs, Haifu, knelt in the "Danfeng Laiyi Bottle Finished Piece". During the 28th to 30th years of Qianlong, Haifu served as the superintendent of Jiujiang Pass and concurrently served as the governor of Tao, that is, the position previously held by Tang Ying. According to the archives, this vessel is a New Year's Day tribute offered by Qianlong's 30th year Haifu. The New Year's greeting gift must have been carefully chosen by Fu Hai to please the Sacred Heart and contain blessings for the coming year. If this heart bottle is a tribute this time, the Hundred Birds Chaofeng, as the Tang people pointed out, is a compliment to the Qianlong Emperor, praising his virtue and purity, being the Holy Lord Ming Jun, and having a group of sages will come to the heart of the world.

According to the clearance, this piece was paid tribute in the name of Haifu's individual, and at the time of his resignation, the instrument was not written off and should be fired with his own funds. At the time of Haifu's tenure, the assistant official was Lao Ge, who was the longest-serving and outstanding assistant official in the Qing Dynasty. During his twenty-eight years in office, he successively assisted Tang Ying and seven other pottery inspectors, ensuring the continuous high-level output of imperial kiln porcelain manufacturing, and the inspector commented that he was "cautious, skillful in his work" and "diligent in handling things". For the Sake of Emperor Bo's Sacred Heart, the Overseer raised funds to burn the tribute, presumably in the production process should be more attentive, excellence, coupled with the experience of the old ge assistant, it can be known that this bottle firing intentions, the standard is high. And the number of tribute porcelain is small, which shows the rarity and preciousness of this kind, and the unusual Luck porcelain is comparable.

Because of the spontaneous silver 20% tribute porcelain and the transmission of work, Haifu was investigated. The examiner will list in detail the name of the burned artifact at that time and the amount of silver and silver in the clearance file. From the 28th to the 30th year of Qianlong, Haifu fired a total of 961 pieces of donated porcelain. Looking at the purpose, most of them cost less than five two, and the cost exceeds ten or two, and only less than twenty pieces, such as Yangcai Taiping Ruyi Zun Silver Nineteen Two, Jia Kiln Blue Flower Eight Immortal Gourd Large Bottle Fifteen Two. The complex shape is like a foreign color auspicious stupa, each piece is twenty-five two. The cost of the rotating bottle is generally higher, such as the Hundred Sons Taiping Large Turning Bottle, silver fifty-five two. The most expensive one listed, that is, the above-mentioned "Danfeng Laiyi Transposing Bottle Piece", costs as much as sixty-two, which is more than three times the cost of pine green plastered gold linglong incense canisters (seventeen two per piece). One piece can be made of three pieces of Yangcai Longevity Linglong transfer bottle (each piece of eighteen two), or can make more than 20 pieces of imitation red carved lacquer box (two pieces of two or six dollars each). And it is not a success, in the list of "donation and burnage damage", there are also "two pieces of Danfeng Laiyi transposing bottle (sixty-two pieces each, a total of 122 silver)". It is from this that it is precious and difficult to burn.

Precious utensils are also accompanied by rare things. The vase was once used as a flower arrangement in the palace, and it was often equipped with tooth flowers and other items. For example, in the twenty-second year of Qianlong, he gave three pieces of multicolored magnetic rotary bottles with three bunches of tooth flowers, one handle of jasper ruyi, one handle of Johor Bahru jade ruyi, and two pieces of Khan jade chimes; the twenty-eight years of Qianlong's work plan file: "Eunuch Ruyi handed over two pieces of foreign color porcelain rotary bottles, and passed on the instructions with tooth flowers." The archives contain the places where it was furnished, including the Yuanmingyuan, Ningshou Palace, Rehe Potala Temple, and Yong'an Temple. And it has been mentioned several times in the archives that the rotating bottle was reserved for the palace festival, which can be known to have a special status, when it is a rare choice, a sign of auspiciousness, and is deeply favored and cherished by the emperor.

The most similar to this instrument, see the Palace Museum collection of Qianlong depicting the golden cloud bat heart bottle. Its outer wall is carved with cloud bat patterns, the hollow can be seen in the inner bottle painting landscape, the painting style is quite similar to this instrument; the neck, shoulders and near the feet are decorated with carmine or yellow ground lotus patterns, rolling road for the ground, flowers and leaves deep In the Western Baroque style, and the decoration of the upper and lower parts of the vessel is very similar, all of which are imperial foreign color masterpieces of the Qianlong period. Yangcai began in the Yongzheng period, was created under the influence of Western culture, made in the Jingdezhen Royal Kiln Factory, the same pigments used as enamel color, imitating Western painting methods. Production of "Must choose a master of painting ... Must be familiar with the nature of pigments and fire, can be from coarse and fine, mature in the skillful, always with the eyes clear and careful, hand accuracy is better" (see Tang Ying's "Tao Ye Atlas"), so there must be "characters, landscapes, flowers, feathers, all fine and subtle" (see Tang Ying's "Tao Wu Shu Brief Stele"). Whether it is a brocade flower or a phoenix bird, this instrument is delicate and flexible, colorful, and only the "master of painting" and the top artist who is familiar with the heat of pigments can have this masterpiece.

Under the reign of the Qianlong Emperor, during the political, economic, and cultural prosperity of the Qing Dynasty, he forged ahead, consolidated imperial power, strengthened his rule, reigned for sixty years, and actually ruled for sixty-three years, which was the highest of Chinese emperors and was known as the heyday of "Kangqian's prosperous era". As a prosperous monarch who made great contributions to governing the country and the army, the Qianlong Emperor was full of energy and was enthusiastic about developing the great cause of culture in his leisure time. He was influenced by Manchu-Han Mongolian-Tibetan culture since childhood, and he also had a strong interest in Renaissance, Baroque, and Rococo art brought by European missionaries and artists. Among them, the personal aesthetic taste of the Western fusion style dominated the luxurious illusion of court art.

In addition to graphic art, architecture and ceramic art most concentrated on this Qianlong "Baroque" style. Baroque began in Europe in the seventeenth century, characterized by dynamic, three-dimensional, spatial, full of romantic colors, rich luxury. Its influence spread throughout architecture, painting, music and many other fields. With the pursuit of grandeur and novelty and the enthusiasm for Western skills and fine arts, the Qianlong Emperor ordered Catholic missionaries and artists such as Lang Shining, Ai Qimeng and Wang Zhicheng, who were deeply influenced by Baroque art, to design and build the Western-style Building Complex of Changchun Garden in the Yuanmingyuan. The Western-style building absorbed the Western garden layout and architectural style dominated by baroque, while at the same time following the will of the Chinese emperor and the court etiquette, and the construction used Chinese craftsmen, building materials and crafts, and the Baroque that became a religious service was a Baroque tribute to imperial power.

The theater stage under the influence of the Baroque style also underwent changes, giving birth to the Baroque set, that is, the multi-layered side curtain set system. At the side of the stage, place a multi-layered flat scene, when changing the scene, just remove the front scene in turn to reveal the desired scene. Later, it developed a scene of cornices hanging from the top and down, and a background that could be rolled up or pushed away. Side scenes, backgrounds, and cornice scenes can all be rapidly changed, interpreting the dynamics and spatial sense of baroque. Another rare masterpiece in this field is the Imperial Agarwood Carving Xianshan Pavilion embedded diorama seat screen in the Qianlong period. It depicts different scenes on six layers of paper plates, the lowest layer is like the background of the stage, and the first five floors are hollowed out of different sizes. Borrowing the reflection of the Western mirror surface, the six layers of scenery are overlapped in front of the eyes at the same time, and the layers are staggered, just like different side views and eaves scenes are listed on the stage.

The bottle has two layers, inside and outside, just like the scenery and background before the set. Each cut-out in the foreground resembles a stage effect created by the side view and the cornice scene. The viewer walks around the heart bottle, peering inward from different angles of the mountains, as if the stage switches sides. Gently turning the neck, the birds depicted in the inner bottle pass through the mountains and clouds of the outer bottle, and the background of the stage is constantly switching. As the viewer moves and rotates with the inner bottle, the scenery before and after overlaps and staggers, and there seem to be thousands of combinations and thousands of pictures. The depth of field and sense of space, the constant switching of views and backgrounds, are all deeply rooted in the baroque style.

The design of the rotary bottle also seems to be similar to the popular clocks and watches of the Qianlong period. Since the Ming Dynasty, Western bells have been brought to China by missionaries and have gradually become popular with the court. The Qianlong Emperor was particularly fond of clocks that rotated and played music on time, as he praised in the "Yong Zi Chiming Bell", "Heavenly craftsmanship is ingenious, and time and time are transmitted by sound." The bell refers to the buddha, and the thrusts rotate each other. Between "retweeting" and "spinning", Qianlong admired the ingenuity of the timepiece. In the clocks and watches of the old collection of the Qing Palace, there are people with complex change devices, and after the start, there are effects such as character running and water law operation, which caters to the Qianlong Emperor's preference for novel and strange skills. The Palace Museum's collection of Qianlong copper gilded Fulu Shou three-star clock is an example, the bottom floor is equipped with window-shaped holes on all four sides, and the landscape is painted inside, see "Sunrise Moon Heng • Palace Museum Collection of Qing Dynasty Clocks", Forbidden City Publishing House, plate 16. After the string is fully moved, the eight immortals make a circular movement with the chain, and circulate in the opening light on all four sides of the bell body, and its effect seems to be quite similar to that of the rotating bottle. There is also an "automatic" rotating function in the rotary bottle, such as the sky blue glaze open-light hollow rotary cylinder in the Palace Museum, which contains nine copper leaves. When the outer bottle is filled with water, it can drive the copper leaves, drive the wooden shaft, the gear, and the inner bottle will rotate accordingly, just like the marquee in ancient times. Although this device is not driven by water, the neck and inner bottle of the mortise buckle are also like the bite of the clock gear, and the rotation is wonderful.

There are various ways to drop the bottle, and it is common for the six-character three-line seal book, so it is relatively rare for the four-character model to sign. The National Palace Museum in Taipei has a foreign color ten thousand years of nail pencil holders, the Palace Museum's collection of hollow cloud dragon pattern phoenix ear turning bottle, and, respectively, in alum red color, gold color and blue and white book "Qianlong Year System" four-character seal book, can be used for reference. This type of porcelain is also occasionally found on the Imperial Porcelain of Foreign Color before the ninth year of Qianlong.

The production of the rotary bottle is different from other batch productions in the Royal Kiln Factory, almost the same as a single vessel, specially designed, and the same ornamental stylist is only made into a pair of furnishings to show its preciousness. Although other famous kiln standing pieces of Bailu Zun and Nine Peach Bottles are called valuable, there are still a certain number of batch production repeaters. It is known that the rotators are mostly fired in pairs according to Qianlong's will, and occasionally there are single ones. The Palace Museum in Beijing has twelve cases of Qianlong heart bottles, two cases of turning neck bottles and one case of turning heart pen holders; eleven cases of Qianlong heart bottles (four pairs and three pieces) in the collection of the National Palace Museum in Taipei, in addition to one piece of rotating neck bottles, several pieces of rotary heart pen holders, slag buckets, crown frames, rotating bowls, etc.; Nanjing Museum, National Museum, Metropolitan Museum, Victoria and Albert Museum of the United Kingdom each have one case.

The heart bottle is a rare treasure in the market. Fang Shan Ju or Zengzang Jiaotai Zhuanxin Bottle, similar in shape to the National Palace Museum in Taipei, see its special auction held at Christie's in 1971, No. 56 On June 4, 1985, Sotheby's New York had auctioned a pair of hollow gourd bottles (No. 79) (size 31.2cm), and then auctioned again on April 29, 1997 in Sotheby's Hong Kong, No. 688, which was the old collection of the Hu Huichun family, but one of its bases was repaired, and there were two punches at the bottom; Beijing Hanhai had auctioned one on December 20, 1997, number 1224, and its neck was cleverly set up, which was relatively rare, and then auctioned again on May 11, 2008, number 2183, and the transaction price was 21.336 million yuan Christie's Hong Kong sold The Qianlong Pastel Pine GreenLand Hollow Landscape Four-Square Ant Ear Incense Pair (No. 1370) on May 29, 2007 for a price of HK$33.92 million, which should be a bottle outside the heart bottle, regrettably lost the inner tank; the French Tajan Auction had a pair of Times Hi Open hollow heart bottles on March 16-18, 1987, and then auctioned again on Christie's New York on March 28, 1996 (No. 418). One of the pairs was sold on December 4, 2019 at Poly for a price of 92 million, one of the few hollowed-out cylinders in the market in recent years.

The volume of this vessel is quite large, as high as 63cm, which is the largest that can be circulated in the market, and the second largest among the known surviving instruments of its kind, second only to the Palace Museum's collection of sky blue glaze open light bottles (73cm in height). The Nanjing Museum's collection of Ji Blue Glaze Depicts The Rotating Bottle of the Golden Qianlong Line, which is the treasure of the museum, which is 60.5cm high, slightly smaller than the original vessel. More than half a meter high, furnished in the room, very imposing. Such a volume, the integration of hollowing and turning the heart of the skill, the precision of the production is higher, the difficulty is more than the same kind. It has to exist in the world, rotate as usual, and more skillfully change the heart, presenting the state of "a hundred birds and phoenixes", the subject matter is rare, and the carving and painting are so delicate, the glaze is so beautiful, or the masterpiece designed and supervised by Tang Ying himself, containing the qianlong emperor's concept of filial piety to his mother and ruling the country with filial piety, or the New Year's greeting for the tribute to Qianlong, implying that the holy lord is the Ming Emperor and the sages are the most important. Its foreign color decoration and the effect of changing the heart, quite seen in the European Baroque style, the phoenix bird landscape is a traditional Chinese theme, the combination of the two, see the great power of the world, the sea and the hundred rivers of the mind, can be a rare treasure, the crown is absolutely at the time.
