"So Xuande's blue and white porcelain is the best, right?" Xiao Zhang asked.

Although he now has entry-level blue and white porcelain firing skills, but the knowledge of these blue and white porcelain is really very lacking, of course, if Xiao Zhang now has master-level blue and white porcelain firing skills, or grandmaster-level blue and white porcelain basic theoretical knowledge, it is another matter.

In the section of Ru porcelain and Tang Sancai, Xiao Zhang's knowledge reserve is unfathomable......

In the section of blue and white porcelain, Xiao Zhang is a younger brother...... Stinky brother.

"Yes, but the blue and white porcelain after it is also distinctive, why say that the blue and white porcelain of the Ming Dynasty has reached its peak, because every time the blue and white porcelain will have new ideas, even if the beauty of the blue and white porcelain is not the same when each emperor of the Ming Dynasty reigned. Ouyang Feng said.

Xiao Zhang put the two pieces of blue and white porcelain in his hand back on the shelf.

And Ouyang Feng picked up another new piece of blue and white porcelain and said: "This is the blue and white porcelain of the Tianshun period, the orthodox, Jingtai, Tianshun three dynasties, due to political turmoil, natural disasters and man-made disasters and other factors, led to the economic recession, and from the beginning of orthodoxy has repeatedly ordered the ban on the manufacture of official porcelain, so the number of porcelain in this period is small, known as the blank period in the history of ceramics, in general, this period of ware type is mainly bottles, cans, bowls, cups, Plate and other categories, the green material used is still part of Su Ma from the green, the blue and white hair color is some of the bright, similar to the Xuande device, some are elegant, close to the Chenghua device, the glaze is more gray, the carcass is thicker, the bottom foot is not delicate, there is a sense of thickness, more shallow and wide flat sand bottom, some have sticky sand phenomenon, some see flint red, orthodox bottles, cans and mouths are straight-necked, consistent with Xuande ware, Tianshun is like a trapezoidal narrow upper and lower broad, similar to Chenghua, the body of the bottle and can is full shoulders, round belly, lower collection, Foot slightly outward, the body of the plum bottle is more slender than Xuande, the pattern is mainly decorated with a stroke, there are figures, flowers, dragons and phoenixes, peacocks, etc., the background of the characters is painted with large cloud patterns, bottles, can edges are decorated with sea water patterns or banana leaf patterns, the banana leaves are left blank, the leaf surface is wider, like a small tree, the orthodox is the Fu word, Jingtai began to move from the heart of the instrument to the bottom of the device, in addition to the Fu word, there are Taiping years made, Taiping or big next year made, etc., Tianshun has the year model, Sanskrit and so on. Ouyang Feng pointed to the blue and white porcelain plum vase in his hand and said.

Xiao Zhang looked at it, this plum bottle was indeed more slender than many plum bottles he had seen before.

Therefore, the blue and white porcelain of each dynasty has subtle changes.

It can really be said that it is a blue and white porcelain with a hundred flowers......

"The next is that Chenghua, Hongzhi, Zhengde three dynasties in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, Chenghua and Hongzhi before the use of equal green, light and elegant hair color, Hongzhi late and Zhengde gray blue, but this period also has a few utensils with strong color, rust spots. Ouyang Feng continued.

"The blue and white porcelain of the Chenghua period is more understated, the decoration layout is sparse in the early stage, dense in the later stage, more painting three fruits, three friends, nine autumns, Coats, baby play, dragon through flowers, etc., flowers and leaves like palms stretching open, leaves with many teeth, flowers and leaves are no yin and yang, fish algae's aquatic plants float like kelp, mountains and stones like keys without concave and convex feeling, the edge decoration is simpler, bowls, plates, cups and other mouths, circles and feet are only decorated with string patterns, dragons are mostly Kui Dragon, the nose is long like an elephant's trunk, the cross pestle, Arabic, etc. The ornamentation of the teaching content is more common, the fetal quality is delicate and white, the glaze is very fine and moist with jade texture, but slightly blue, the vessel type has a pot, a plum bottle, a wash, a tray, a plate, a cup, a bowl, etc., the furnace is a three-breasted foot cylinder or a drum-shaped furnace, in addition to the Tianzi jar, there is also the Ming Dynasty Chenghua six-character single, double-line paragraph, the main part of the picture is Fang Sheng, silver ingots, etc. Ouyang Feng said with a smile.

Xiao Zhang nodded and replied: "I know this Ming Chenghua year, many porcelains with this style are priceless, and the porcelain of this period is very valuable!"

"That's right, Chenghua ware is very famous, and has repeatedly set high prices, not only blue and white porcelain, glaze red porcelain, Doucai are very famous, that Ming Chenghua Doucai Chicken Bowl Cup has created hundreds of millions of value, you must have an impression!" Ouyang Feng smiled.

Xiao Zhang nodded, a few days ago, I often heard the story of this Ming Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup, more than 100 million is a small cup......

"To the Hongzhi period, the early and middle Hongzhi artifacts are roughly the same as Chenghua, even more delicate and soft than Chenghua, close to Zhengde in the later period, the flower and leaf pattern is fine and dense, the Sanskrit pattern increases, the dragon pattern is slender and soft, the characters are free and easy, the paragraph is known as six characters, four characters are in regular script, and Zhengde ware is still made of domestic materials, the early stage is equal to the blue, the hair color is gray and blue, and the late period is used back to the green, some of the halo is scattered, the shape of the utensils, the fetus, the enamel is close to Hongzhi, the bubbles are dense, the deep belly bowl, With the seat and other popular, the later period is more common to see the big vessel, the common ornamentation has the phoenix wears the flower, the fish algae, the lion hydrangea, the garden baby play, the tree stone railing, the lotus eight treasures, etc., the painting is thicker than the Hongzhi, the bottom of the bowl is ruined, the bowl appears at the bottom of the chicken heart, the bottom of the vessel is more kiln red, sticky sand, jumping knife marks and other phenomena, the year has four characters and six characters in regular script, individual words, such as the Ming Zhengde year! Ouyang Feng said with a smile.

"What about the blue and white porcelain of the late Ming Dynasty?" Xiao Zhang continued.

This Ouyang Feng explained in detail the subtle distinction of blue and white porcelain in the early and middle Ming Dynasty, but I don't know what it was like in this late period.

Ouyang Feng said with a smile: "In the late Ming Dynasty Jiajing, Longqing, Wanli three dynasties, Jiajing has the longest time, so the hair color of the utensils of this dynasty is not the same, the early ones are similar to the Zhengde ware, the hair color is gray and blue, but the unique feature of this period is the use of green materials, in addition to the traditional still popular, the Taoist color decoration has increased significantly, such as cloud cranes, eight immortals, gossip, Taoist eight treasures, etc., the flower group of words is a unique ornament, in addition to the baby play, Coats, fish algae picture, etc., the baby play picture of the doll head forehead is prominent, fetus, glaze are small and fine, Large vessel thick, large vessel more, octagonal, square, hexagonal, upper circle and lower way gourd bottle and other special-shaped utensils are more common, the pearl box is a unique type of vessel for this dynasty, the paragraph is recognized, the system is used, the word is mostly made, the bottom of the vessel is used for the sacrificial utensils, and the name of the hall such as the East Book Hall, the Dong Luo Hall, etc. ”

After a pause, Ouyang Feng said: "This Longqing Dynasty due to the short time, so the utensils are also less, large, with the year of the ware is less, the green material with the green, the color is stable, pure, the blue is purple but not as purple as the Jiajing ware, the ornament and the Jiajing Dynasty is similar, because of the small pieces, the tire, the glaze is more delicate, more hexagonal or octagonal and other shapes, the official kiln ware has the Ming Longqing year and the Longqing year made two kinds, do not see the system of the word, the folk kiln ware has the Longqing year or the four-character model, the auspicious language has the same blessings, Fushou Kangning, etc., the ode to the words of wealth and beauty. ”

"The last is this Wanli vessel, Wanli ware early with back to green, in the late stage with stone green and Zhejiang material, more light blue and white, ornamentation in addition to the traditional, but also popular brocade open light ornamentation, ornamental layout dense, the theme is not clear, in addition to the Fu Lu Shou word for the decoration is also more common, bottles are more seen hollow, set of live ring and other processes, in addition to the traditional type, the new wall bottle, the fetus is thicker, the glaze white is blue, the style is more than the Ming Dynasty Wanli year, there are also the Ming Dynasty Wanli year, Wanli year, more pseudo trust, there are Xuande, Chenghua, In general, Jiajing's craftsmanship level has regressed from before!" Ouyang Feng said lightly.

What Xiao Zhang didn't expect was that the late Ming Dynasty was a period of regression for blue and white porcelain!
