Although this big dragon cylinder is not as big as the one that was easily 70 or 80 centimeters high during the Kangxi and Qianlong periods, it is not a small one. At least in all the porcelain found today, it is In terms of size, this big dragon jar is the largest.

　　 The function of the big dragon tank and the blue and white big tank painted with other patterns is actually a kind of water storage for fire fighting and extinguishing in the palace and the upper class.

　　 "Jingdezhen Taolu" said that "the jars are mostly painted with clouds and dragons or blue and white, so they are all named after the dragon jar." It points out the origin of the name of the utensils. It was a special item for the feudal emperor. As early as the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, the Imperial Kiln Factory in Jingdezhen had a dragon cylinder kiln, which was specially used for firing large dragon cylinders. In the Xuande period, there were 32 dragon cylinder kilns at one time. In the Zhengde and Jiajing periods of the middle and late Ming dynasties, due to the small number of green kilns and the idleness of the dragon cylinder kilns, 16 dragon cylinder kilns were replaced with 16 green kilns, and there were still large dragons. There are 16 cylinder kilns.

　　 During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, the eunuchs often set off fireworks and accidentally used fires to cause fires in the imperial palace. Therefore, the Emperor Jiajing attached great importance to fire prevention and sent people to Jingdezhen to fire large dragon cylinders for water storage and fire prevention. But more often, the big dragon tank is left unused and becomes a de facto big fish tank. At the same time, the large dragon tank was used to store grain, oil, and water in the palace because of its sturdiness and durability.

After Wanli, with the gradual exhaustion of imported green materials, the craftsmen of Jingdezhen’s imperial kiln could only use domestic green materials, but the blue and white color of the fired dragon cylinder could not be compared with the Jiajing period, and the Jiajing blue and white dragon cylinder became precious. A rare thing, although Emperor Wanli was precious to the emperor, his tomb had to use the "Da Ming Jiajing Years" type dragon jar.

　　 The body of the Jiajing Blue and White Dragon Cylinder is mostly large and upright. The style is simple and simple, and the color is strong and bright. Therefore, it is both specific and versatile, sturdy and durable, elegant and round, and pleasing to the eye. Therefore, in the Ming Dynasty, the Jiajing blue and white dragon cylinder was the best one.

　　 Although this big dragon tank is not very big, but it is not too small, it is definitely a rare blue and white big dragon tank. Just this big dragon tank is definitely a national treasure.

But by the way, this big dragon tank was stuffed with thatch. At first, Yang Jing thought that the thatch was to protect the blue and white dragon tank. After cleaning it up, he found that it was in the belly of the big dragon tank. There are also some small porcelains hidden.

　　 These small porcelains are not big, and they are all wrapped in tissue paper. When Yang Jing opened the tissue paper of one of the porcelains, his two eyeballs suddenly went round.

　　 "Damn! My luck wouldn't be so good, would you?"

　　 Looking at the small cup that was floating in the space motionlessly, Yang Jing almost cried out! The small cup in his hand is not big, with a diameter of less than seven centimeters, a bottom diameter of less than three centimeters, and a height of less than five centimeters. But it is such a small cup with a cluster of bright peony flowers painted in five colors!

　　 This pattern immediately made Yang Jing's mind a porcelain name-the colorful twelve flower **** cups!

　　 And this first opened cup has peony flowers painted on it. This should be the fourth cup in the twelve cups of the flower god!

　　 As for the base, it is the six-character two-line regular script of the "Kangxi Years of the Qing Dynasty".

　　 "Could it be that there is the legendary twelve cups of colorful flower gods hidden in the belly of this big blue and white dragon cylinder? Or is it the twelve cups of colorful flower gods during the Kangxi period?"

　　 Thinking of this, Yang Jing is really a little excited. If there is really a set of Kangxi colorful twelve flower **** cups, then the harvest will be really big.

　　 Yang Jing took out all the cups hidden in this big dragon jar, and sure enough, no more, no less, exactly twelve!

　　 Right now, Yang Jing's breathing became a little bit quicker.

In the Chinese ceramics industry, there are not many sets of porcelain. Porcelain sets were already popular in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. At that time, according to daily habits and needs, different varieties of daily-use porcelain were combined, such as cups, pots, and cup holders. Wait as a group of tea sets, but there were still fewer varieties of the combination at that time.

The period of 　　 sets of equipment becoming more and more abundant is the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the most of them can be as many as 200 sets.

　　 But the most precious thing in the kit is the Chenghua Doucai Chicken Crock Cup. But in fact, it is not the Ming Chenghua Doucai Chicken Crock Cup that stands out. The Qing Kangxi Multicolored Twelve Flower Cups and the Qing Kangxi Blue and White Twelve Flower Cups are also peerless works comparable to the Chicken Crock Cup.

　　 In the 19th year of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, Zang Ying was elected to be stationed in Jingdezhen as a pottery officer, responsible for the production of official kiln porcelain, marking the official start of production of official kilns in the Qing Dynasty. At that time, Liu Yuan was specifically responsible for designing porcelain styles. He is multi-talented, and he was appointed to preside over the design of various imperial porcelains. Among the hundreds of porcelain samples designed by Liu Yuan, the Twelve Flower God Cup is unprecedented.

Liu Yuan’s December Flower God Cup designed with narcissus, magnolia, peach blossom, peony, pomegranate, lotus, sunflower, sweet-scented osmanthus, chrysanthemum, hibiscus, rose and plum as the theme, each flower in one month, these twelve kinds of flowers represent China Twelve famous women in history were regarded as "flower gods" and decorated with corresponding poems.

The twelve flower gods enshrined are: Luoshen, **** of daffodils in the first month, Yang Yuhuan, **** of apricot flowers in February, Mrs. Peach Blossom in March, Lijuan, **** of peony flowers in April, Sun of Pomegranate in May, Xishi, **** of lotus in June. In July, the **** of sunflowers, Mrs. Li, the **** of osmanthus in August, Xu Xian, **** of chrysanthemum in September, the **** of chrysanthemum in September, Mrs. Huarui, **** of hibiscus flowers in October, the **** of rose flowers in November, Wang Zhaojun, the **** of plum blossoms in December.

　　 There are different poems on each cup. The poems of the narcissus flower **** in January are: the spring breeze makes the book come to the Qing Dynasty, and the night moon lingbo on the embankment.

　　 The poem of the magnolia flower **** in February is: Jinyingcui calyx has spring cold, and there are a few yellow flowers in it.

　　 The poem of the God of Peach Blossom Flower in March is: Fenghuaxinsheyan, the season is old and spring is thick.

　　 The poem of the April Peony Flower God is: Xiaoyan is divided into golden palm dew, and the twilight fragrance deeply provokes Yutang wind.

　　 The poem of the flower **** of pomegranate in May is: dew color bead curtains reflect, fragrant wind and powder wall cover.

　　 The poem of the June Lotus Flower God is: The root is jade in the mud, and the heart bears the dew.

　　 The poem of the Sunflower Flower God in July is: Guangdian is lightly fragrant, and the high platform is far away.

　　 The poem of the eight-month osmanthus flower **** is: The branches grow infinitely, and the flowers are full of natural autumn.

　　 The poetry of the **** of chrysanthemum flowers in September is: a thousand years of white wine, a fragrance of young women in life.

　　October Lotus Flower God’s poem is: Qingxiang and Suyu, beautiful color and clear smoke.

　　The poems of the November Rose Flower God are: Do not follow the thousands of species, but only release one year red.

　　 The poem of the **** of plum blossoms in December is: Suyan snow condensing tree, fragrance and wind full of branches.

The 　　 cup has flowers on the front and blue and white poems in regular script on the back, with a seal of "賀" at the end.

The Twelve Flower God Cup was the first time in China’s history that "poem, calligraphy, painting, and printing" were used together on the same vessel. Therefore, Emperor Kangxi liked it very much. The craftsmanship, I prefer the cultural artistic conception of flowers and Tang poetry.

"This is an absolute good thing. It's really not inferior to the set of Chenghua Doucai Chicken Crock Cup that I just discovered! It's a pity that this set of Flower God Cup should not be the one used by Kangxi Lao'er at the time, but should be It's an official kiln product that was copied later." Yang Jing looked at the bottom of this set of flower **** cups, thinking with regret in his heart.

　　 It is said that the set of multicolored twelve flower **** cups used by Kangxi Laoer had a base of "Da Ming Chenghua Years". The reason why such a strange base appeared, but it just proved one of the characteristics of early Kangxi porcelain.

　　 Early Kangxi porcelains are rarely written. The reason was that Kangxi believed that it was not possible to write on the porcelain, and if it was broken, it would be unlucky to not write on it. However, there is a special phenomenon in many of Kangxi's porcelain, that is, writing a large number of consignments. For example, the three dynasties wrote the "Da Ming Xuande Years", "Da Ming Chenghua Years", and "Da Ming Jiajing Years".

　　 This is a big taboo in our imagination. Anyone who reads history knows that the literary prison in the Qing Dynasty is very powerful, especially in the Kangxi Dynasty, when a large number of Han people proposed "anti-Qing and reviving Ming", which can often be seen in TV dramas. At that time, you were decapitated if you had a tendency to oppose the Qing Dynasty. But the styles written on the porcelain are all styles from the previous dynasty. This has to be said to be a major feature of early Kangxi porcelain.

　　 Even if the official kiln was reopened in Jingdezhen in the 19th year of Kangxi, most of the early official kiln porcelains did not have a base, or the base was just a deposit.

The set of colorful twelve flower **** cups used by Kangxi Laoer was fired for 25 years with Kangxi, and this set of twelve flower **** cups also contains the commemorative significance of Kangxi to Chenghua Doucai porcelain, because Kangxi likes it very much. It’s no surprise that this set of cups has the bottom of "Da Ming Chenghua Years" written on it.

　　 In the middle and late Kangxi period and after the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, the official kilns and the folk kilns respectively imitated the twelve flower **** cups, with slightly different sizes and sizes. The bottoms also use the words of the Kangxi Years of the Qing Dynasty. However, the quality of the imitations of later generations is not as good as the set of Emperor Kangxi ~ www.readwn.com~ This set of the 12 cups of the Flower God is obviously imitations in the middle and late Kangxi period, but even if it is imitations, it is also an official kiln fine product. It is a rare kit.

　　 You must know that the current set of Kangxi colorful twelve flower **** cups is only one set in the collection of the Kaifeng Museum in Henan Province. In addition, Mr. Liu Yiqian also has a complete set of Kangxi blue and white twelve flower **** cups. Even the Palace Museum has only a few singles, not complete sets. One can imagine how rare this set of twelve flower **** cups is.

　　 And this time I actually harvested a set of Kangxi colorful twelve flower **** cups in this Jiajing blue and white dragon tank. This is simply a pie in the sky!

　　 "Could it be that this set of colorful twelve flower **** cups was the one that the little devil had searched from the country back then?" Yang Jing thought to himself.

　　 According to legend, during World War II, the little devil ransacked a set of twelve flower **** cups in China, which he planned to ship to Japan and dedicated to the emperor of the little devil. But unfortunately, it sank with the Awamaru ship on the way. This part of precious porcelain and some precious cultural relics also sank into the sea.

Now it seems that the precious porcelain that was shipped with the set of twelve flower **** cups was not loaded on the Awa Maru, but on another ship, and then shipped to the Philippines. It’s just why Japan had to ship it to the Philippines first. Rather than being shipped to Japan, there is no way to know.

　　 Of course, it is also possible that this set of Twelve Flower God Cups was not obtained from China, but from another source, but Yang Jing has no way of knowing where it came from.

　　 But anyway, no matter where the little devil snatched this set of twelve flower **** cups, it is now his own!
