That vase will make people think of plum, “Snow in the forest with this body, peach and plum mixed with different aromatic dust. Suddenly one night fragrance hair loose for heaven and earth thousands of miles of spring.” Visible plum blossom is a flower of purity and character, was a lot of the praise of scholars have added. Vase is a small mouth, Feng shoulder, Gufu of wine, once called “The Bottle”, was often used in flower arrangements, because “only with a small caliber plum of very thin bone,” Hence it is vase. People of ancient craftsmen in the design and production arts vase, it will factor into the human body abstract vase shape, the bottle body slender, short-necked small mouth, Feng shoulder lean belly, like the ancient lady, slim and graceful.

Vase appeared in the Tang Dynasty, flourished in the Song Dynasty. Soong Mei-bottle wine appliances are installed in order to improve its usefulness, the ceramic artists will raise up its largest diameter, so that not only increased the capacity of the wine, not missing the “My Fair Lady” in the sense of beauty. This top-heavy, daily use easy dumping, artisans skillfully bottles on the lower part of thickening to ensure its practical function. Song fired vase, formed in the bottle after the first applied a thick layer of white make-up of soil, then put a high iron content of black glaze, and then ink in the above position is separated into different decoration, painting facilities like, the last Tiqu outside the black glaze decoration, and then cover a layer of transparent enamel kiln firing, this black flower very bright white glaze.

Song vase shape high, people watched with a sense of insecurity, in order to compensate for this shortcoming, artisans have decorated using segmentation method, horizontal broken vertical high density width has caused, always say the right, about full, the decorative leaves space, the more full, more obvious, and appearance steady.

Yuan Dynasty vase has reached a high level, especially in Jingdezhen blue and white vase, the style mostly small estuary off, goes to wider at the neck, the shoulder is more plentiful than before, although the enamel Ming vase in red, blue, red glaze, white glaze, etc., but its relatively uniform shape, small lips and write outside the mouth, short-necked middle microbeam, Feng shoulder, abdominal gradual convergence of the following, to give people a sense of steady, honest. Qing Dynasty vase when basically continues the style of the Ming Yongle, be innovative, but most of like the emperor with a color, bottle gives people a feeling of disharmony.

Today, its unique style vase affect the general possession of the Friends, which offer all kinds of charming “lady’s touch” has also gone through a long process of development, it also contains a classical Chinese aesthetics and cultural connotations.

Construction light of this tea, if the tea to fight the Song Dynasty style. Song tea directly from tea bowls of this struggle can be seen out. Cai Xiang said, “you white brown, yellow and white with plainer and win.” We can not tell the color, because we do not live in the Song Dynasty, the plainer and the yellow and white in the end did not see much difference. But he said the soup color, decide the merits of the standard flower soup is to see it hanging on the edge of the teacup, linked to the speed of the water marks. Occur sooner or later the water mark is to determine the victory or defeat, the water marks occur sooner, more tea is not good, the later the better, so late winner. Tea, tea drinking bucket We two saw you this out, I do this not out, you lose, I win. If the biting teacup of water marks the edge, lingering on as “light bite”, which are very professional. Beer is good or bad with this place seems a bit similar, that is, if it were a bit hung Cup, foam, this is one of its standard.

Very particular about the past tea to hot cup, the cup would advance heat. We now do not bother much cooler cup, mug boiling water into a red, that is not open how old is your cup too cold. Your first heat about a cup, to roast hot. Song is very particular about life, he should first hot cup. Therefore, this black light insulation of particularly good, so not cool down for a long time, this tea is very good. Then building a light underneath write “for the imperial”, and have set “into winecup”, and that that was all the altar, to the emperor used.

Southern Folk Kiln tea varieties: “rabbit hair”, a typical building are rabbit hair light, like inside with fur; then there is the “drip”, one by one as oil drops; again as hawksbill, partridges and other porcelain spot .

Japan has a well-known construction of the kiln, special strange texture, neither drip nor sea turtle, which is called “Yao makeover project teacup”, as a national treasure. Japanese because of their geographical insularity, the past culture is alien, so his respect for the culture, especially.

We Chinese, is a country with glorious history of five thousand years of national, cultural deep Han Yun, longer than Ji Yu Xing, on the physical world, human internal unprecedented texts of the Department, has a special sensitivity and association. The ceramic culture in the long river of human history is also the ideology of a brilliant wonderful work. From the original rough pottery. The development of the green shadow of the Song Dynasty sculpture, painting from a simple line drawing. To the color of the fullness of pile. From the simple plot depicts, spiritual sustenance to the literati. Describe feelings of Art. Today’s ceramic culture has very delicate to express the cultural landscape, where different models, with the multitude of ceramic culture, is also deeply impressed with all of the times, the human spirit in all of history.

A ceramic culture bird poetry feelings.

It goes without saying, ceramics loved flowers and birds are the natural aesthetic image of the people, is among the most beautiful natural part of the aesthetic value of one, “Huaxiangniaoyu” environment, is undoubtedly desirable that people ideal living environment. Flowers blooming season, is one the most pleasant season. Beauty is a human endowment. Ceramic bird in a show of beauty, emotions and describe.

“Raw water cooler after the rain the occasion of the lotus faces of the people, the remote similarity. Seeing Hongfang still hold core, the new thicket closed lotus” This is the Song Yan, “Butterfly in Love” in the sentence, I have seen a vase, which is the subject of painting Swaying lotus, distant and looked into the Song of the dream seems that fresh Cuiye lotus leaf after the rain, then careful care of drunk red petals with a yellowish gold core , careful observation, it has been full of lotus quietly fell asleep in it. What a beautiful conception of literature that outlines the dotted seem to mind the desire for language, emotion sealing meanders like a quiet, gentle breeze, thoughts in the face of enemies, like Fen Fang flower set off in the eyes, time water , breathless across the memory.

Ceramic bird in a very wide range of literary topics, “Do not people praise the color is good, leaving only the clear air over heaven and earth” is a tranquil and lofty lyrical mood. But more important also to reflect the true natural beauty have been there, this is not a time, society, religion and the eternal distinction between literary art. Flowers such as Peacock Pheasant, like bees, ants small, lightly like butterflies dragonflies, subtleties such as the tadpole fish, Wealthy the peony, loud the clean rocks; look all that singing poetic painting ceramics.

Second, ceramic culture embodies the literary heritage theme portraits.

Today’s ceramic decorative figure subjects are very broad, Buddhas from Qingzhou Jun-Jie Wang Dynasty, Su Shi figures, Manhattan Ascot, Qi Luo ladies, Civic hybrid flow, women and children and other children at play everywhere the text of the story shines with prints. The historical text “Three Kingdoms” in Kuan, that Xiaganyidan, loyal and brave stalwart image was painted on a variety-type of ceramic. “Journey to the West” in the Sun Walker unpredictable, fire eye Venus, Jiang Yao slayer’s story is also the language people use a variety of ceramic communication with each other, communicate with relish. Today’s ceramic figure of literature deeply rooted in the fertile soil of the Chinese nation, and as the carrier of Chinese traditional liberal ideology, Confucianism, Taoism, Zen philosophy is three constitute the cornerstone of literary and artistic ceramics.

“Li Bai Sheng Zhou would like to line the shore riding Juventa song. Taohua Tan thousand feet deep, not as Wang Lun, I love.” This is the famous master painter Mr. Wang Xiliang ceramic plate in a Fen Caici poetic expression of the painting, a touch of ink, a quiet lake, ride a float singing in the Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai of the hearts of the friends, the sincere friendship, and this has to go the distance still feeling dismay, overflow in the hands of a bow that among the silent expression.

3, ceramic painting in the wonderful state of the literature demonstrates.

The history of landscape painting in China occupies a very important position, according to “History of Painting,” contained in the Three Kingdoms period, Ms. Sun Quan Zhao, “can write Kyushu lakes, mountain trend” should say that this is the first landscape painting in Chinese history was. The Tang Dynasty, due to political openness, economic development, social stability, so that landscape into a period of prosperity. By the Song Dynasty, it reached an unprecedented peak times. Formed by Li Cheng, Fan Kuan and Guo Xi strong headed male, tall and straight and the North sent to Dong Yuan, Ju Ran-led “light ink Lan,” the Southern School.

The earliest ceramics in the Yuan Dynasty landscape painting by the simple blue and white depiction of the development to the early Qing Dynasty to the Republic of literati painting, such as the late Qing Xianfeng, Tongzhi era, came to the door-way Anhui literati painters Jingdezhen, the Qianjiang porcelain painting techniques used in painting, but also created paintings in the literary atmosphere of the performance of the ceramic landscape precedent. Pearl Mountain Jingdezhen in the history of eight friends, there is some painting in ceramic pigments, which express the mood has inherited thousands of years of Chinese landscape painting tradition of excellence.

Modern ceramic painting in very broad subject matter that depicts the elegance of classical literature in indifferent mood, but also forceful chapter depicting the desert northwest, there are small bridges describe someone’s style, also praised the simplicity of the folk scene, like poetry, like prose, also seems like a literary novel are mine.

“Snow also Clipsal rain also odd, affordable total cash Yihe, in white and silver the most rare and advised looking over the southern monarch.” This is the king of self-taught landscape painters of modern verse, same can also be used to describe me 1 Snow landscape artists of the old conception of literary praise.

 

Everyone engaged in this line of porcelain heartbreak over

“This business relationships, the number of friendship, how to do business. Ordinary people to play a general lack of channels of porcelain, as in Qingshuitang good porcelain will not put out. Only got to know each boss, you have probably from his where to get good things, most people have ignored their arguments. “love porcelain collection, Mr. Zhou told reporters do porcelain collection, fight not only the vision, capital, and also a network of resources.

Price is very strange reality is cruel

30-year-old Mr. Tang is a nine to five office workers, but also the letter of the porcelain enthusiasts, Hunan art market, Qingshuitang, Hunan Antique often can see his shadow. According to him, now growing contingent of porcelain, collecting more and more objects, in the past not very valuable Changsha kiln, fired up the last few years, even the tiles have one collection, not to mention blue and white Yuan the. Some kiln out of the old tiles, is a treasure in the eyes of collectors.

“The price is very strange antiques, buy and sell it to where often determines the transaction price.” Tang told reporters antique enthusiasts, a fan used in the vase, to 25,000 yuan, a Tibetan friends to start, not to two years, to 80,000 yuan sold to a circle. Later, the only vase “drift” to Beijing, what worth to 30 million, this “Man asking price” of the well known in the circle. Chow’s friend Fang contact with porcelain collection for 18 years. In 2003, he spent over 4,000 yuan to buy a piece of red Liling porcelain vase, a year later the price of more than 8000 yuan, and such a good price to sell loss he said, and “a clear early in the kiln, the top has Ipomoea Long , shows that glaze, and I have more than 2000 yuan in 2002 to buy, sell more than 8000 yuan a year later, the results offer an expert behind the bit to buy more than 20 million. “thing a few years later, Fang still bear a grudge, not because there is no question price and sell it themselves and the fine pass.

Despite the lucrative, but Fang just started to remind investors, “imitation products on the market too much, a great impact on the real thing. The market is cruel, who have eyes to go, I’ve seen get ruined after fake , and ask yourself before admission is not have this tolerance. ”

Vision of funds to be more toxic

It is understood that the market’s most in fashion is the Ming and Qing Dynasty porcelain, they are also investors in the most rare goal. Qing Emperor Qianlong Blue and White’s first floral flower pot cloud dragon ears flat to a record 39.86 million dollar contract myth, after the Qianlong kiln “blue-red color with Dragon Ruyi ear gourd bottle” to hit 83.44 million yuan turnover of domestic porcelain auction record.

Wang boss Qingshuitang porcelain shop opened nearly 10 years, he said investment in order to appreciate true porcelain, but have seen the truth. To this end, he also gave investors “Nine word mantra”: off age, knowledge kilns, set the market. Broken kiln’s and associated knowledge, such as the Song dynasty porcelain is relatively simple, artistic value lower. Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain began to appear, has been popular these days, but because of age-old war and spread very little. The market’s most in fashion is the Ming Dynasty porcelain, each period, each different style kilns. Light off age, knowledge kilns does not work, only some genuine heritage value, not market value.

Wang said the boss, porcelain collection threshold is high. Have theories, practices, should have the economic capacity. Only buy do not look, buy and white buy; just go window shopping, learned very limited. Must be hands-on, or buy buy the wrong, it may be awakened through Dabeitaixi.

On the hundreds of million for the sale of old porcelain, very important to distinguish between true and false. He said he would name the collector told reporters that the line has always had “real thing does not make money, fake food for half a year” argument. In this regard, Mr. Fang is the recognized players in the circle, claiming to be “long illness into treatment” he said, a porcelain-type, painters, paint, porcelain body, enamel and so affect the value of its collection, authenticity of the mill marks are very natural, radial, and do the old fake goods, the marks are generally in one direction, and the emergence into existence of discrete pieces into.

All find a way out against counterfeit

Weekday Tang is the greatest pleasure and a group of like-minded enthusiasts to share information on porcelain. Circle who start the baby, who shot to sell a good price, in this small group quickly spread out.

“Possession of this line of porcelain, 100% of people bought fake, 100% of people are heartbroken over, no one does not take the eye, and everyone ate loss, because too many fakes.” Tang’s experience is due to a teacher, “porcelain collection, there are many things to learn with experienced teachers. touched the porcelain heart, eyes can be more personal fortune telling, but by looking at other people’s collections, but also followed a long exposure.”

And Tang, “joined team” against counterfeiting is different, some porcelain collectors will not go on fighting, but fought it easier to identify new porcelain, ceramic, such as the Cultural Revolution. In recent years, the Cultural Revolution Porcelain prices soaring. In early 2003, a 100-cm statue of Chairman Mao and the tunic of the body, transaction prices between 3000 to 4000 yuan. The end of 2004, then rose to around 6000 to 7000 yuan. By October 2005, the price suddenly rose to 18,000 yuan. Su boss 90 from the last century started collecting teapots during the Cultural Revolution, 5 years ago to open a red collection Qingshuitang shop. “During the Cultural Revolution like me teapot, received 10 years, prices have gone up 10 times.”
