Two fragments unearthed from Jianci Village, one of which had a cloud dragon pattern in a short moment, was the same as the white porcelain pattern, and it was determined to be a product of Ding Kiln.

Strangely, there is no documentary record of green glaze Ding kiln porcelain.

There must be some secrets here, so you need to pay special attention to imitating them.

Also, if you make antique porcelain, you must have a detailed understanding of the character "official".

Speaking of the signature of Ding Kiln porcelain, we have to mention Qianlong, who likes porcelain and inscriptions.

For example, there is a Ding Kiln white glaze printed chrysanthemum pattern plate. It uses the overfiring method. The blank space at the bottom is the most different from other porcelains. However, such a good blank space is full of words.

This Ding Kiln white glaze printed chrysanthemum pattern plate is 4.3 cm high, 19.2 cm in diameter, and 12.7 cm in foot diameter.

The plate has an open mouth, a bottom of the roof, a curved wall, a ring foot, and a copper mouth is inlaid on the edge of the exposed body.

The whole body is covered with white glaze, the glaze is white and gray, and the rotation marks left by the pull-out are clearly seen on the outer wall, as well as the "tear marks"-like glaze left when dipping the glaze.

The inner edge of the instrument is molded around the back pattern, the inner wall is molded with lotus patterns, and the plate is molded with double phoenix chrysanthemum eucalyptus.

However, its current outsole is engraved with a poem written by Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty.

The poem says: The ancient fragrance is elegant and elegant. The Song Dynasty named the pottery. It is a treasure. It is full of pearls and can be used as a reference. The patterns are carved with flowers and birds are vivid. It holds the bright moon on its palm and writes it to prove the old cause in the poem. It has millions of red cherry blossoms and a plate of amber shines.

Later, he signed the "Meng Chun Imperial Inscription" and stamped with two seals: "Bide" and "Langrun".

This is a problematic or somewhat controversial Ding kiln style, and there are many such porcelains in Ding kiln.

For example, there are often seen an official kiln porcelain on the market, with a large "official" located under it.

This is reasonable for some people who have just entered the industry. The word "guan" means official kiln.

In fact, there are as many as 15 types of signatures in Ding Kiln in the Northern Song Dynasty, but the most common signature is the character "official".

In 1985, 33 pieces of porcelain with the word "official" unearthed from the fire-burning wall in the northern suburbs of Chang'an.

In 1969, "official" porcelain was also unearthed from the two pagoda foundations of Ding County, Beihe, with a total of 17 pieces.

Both the Forbidden City Toys and the Forbidden City Museum have many Ding kiln porcelains with the word "official" collection.

Since a large number of porcelains with "official" characters were unearthed in Beihe Ding County, the academic community has basically unified the view, that is, the majority of them are Ding kiln products.

Therefore, any porcelain that is styled by the official kiln but with the word "official" is a later forged item.

How is the porcelain from the official kiln fired in Ding kiln?

Therefore, porcelain with official style must have the style of Ding Kiln, but it cannot be the style of the official kiln.

The official porcelain is very special. It is a unique official (official porcelain, not an official kiln) kiln from the Song Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty.

The antique world usually interprets this type of porcelain as a special burial tool for officials given by ancient emperors after their death.

In ancient times, such as Yue Kiln, Yaozhou Kiln and Ding Kiln, all of them fired official porcelain, among which Ding Kiln porcelain was the most common.

Its era includes the late Tang Dynasty, the Five Dynasties and the Northern Song Dynasty.

Most of the official characters in Ding Kiln are plain and have no patterns. They mostly use techniques such as flower mouth, edge ridges, and edge pressing. Some are still in the mouth, with gold and silver buckles on the feet.

However, some of them have lotus petals on the outside, flowers on the inside, animals on the inside and outside, etc.

The Liao Dynasty porcelain styles were identified, and the utensils with the character "official" style include cockscomb pots, belt-wearing pots, plate-mouthed bottles, triangle-shaped discs, etc.

The official character on porcelain is not synonymous with "official kiln", but means the designation of the burning unit.

During the Tang and Song dynasties, there were two institutions related to the word "official", one was "Taiguan Order" and the other was "Zhenguan Office".

The former is responsible for the emperor's diet, while the latter is responsible for supplying porcelain for the court and the Ming utensils given to the ministers by the emperor.

Archaeological data show that in addition to the Ding Kiln kiln sites and cellars, Ding Kiln burial objects appeared in the tombs of some important royal officials in the Tang Dynasty, Five Dynasties, Northern Song Dynasty and Liao Dynasty.

For example, the tomb of Qian Kuan in the late Tang Dynasty of Lin'an and his wife, the tomb of Shuiqiu family, the tomb of Zhao Dejun in the Shendu Liao Dynasty, and the tomb of the King Wei of Liao in Chifeng County, have been unearthed.

This type of artifact was fired by the "Zhenguan Office" and used for funeral porcelain given to the late ministers by the emperor.

Of course, the official porcelain that "Zhenguan Office" has been used as a decree for fire.

There was a controversy here, because in the early days when the official character Ding Kiln was discovered, it was mostly found in ancient tombs, so it has always been believed by the collectors that this was a special artifact given to ministers by the emperor.

Mingqi is not very popular in the country, just like the early Tang Sancai.

However, there are differences between the two. Tang Sancai is indeed a bright weapon and does not use it as a different person.

However, the official porcelain produced by Ding Kiln is different. It is a gift from the imperial court, but it is not necessarily a gift from the professional gift from the imperial court.

This is reflected in some official characters that have been passed down from generation to generation.

Because some of the porcelains with official characters that have been circulated to the present have traces of deep friction due to the years of placement and movement.

For example, some blue and white vases with official characters in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, with clear friction marks on their bodies.

This clearly tells us a different answer: it is a handed down instrument placed on the hall.

Ancient emperors would give officials some things for certain reasons, so there would be no doubt about this.

But if you want to give special funeral items to officials, there will be no problem.

If an emperor gives an official a burial object when he is alive, it will definitely not make sense.

If it is said that an official's burial object was never seen or used during his lifetime, and after his death it became a key and important imperial burial object that represents his status, it is not reasonable to say.

If an emperor grants special burial objects to the emperor and occur after the death of an official, rather than when he is alive, such items must be specially built and stored in advance for public affairs.

If items are available at any time, then all items must be exquisite and unused tools that were unearthed after being buried deep for thousands of years.

For example, if nothing unexpected happens, everything will definitely be like a new tool.

In this way, there is no reason for the deep traces left by long-term friction with the eucalyptus table.

This is obviously inconsistent with the facts. It can be seen that the statement that the official porcelain is a special equipment for burial gifts is fundamentally problematic, and it should be a deceptive and imaginary word.

Therefore, the correct understanding of this kind of official name-named imperial special equipment should be the gift given by the emperor during his lifetime, and a symbol of the achievements and glory of the officials.

This is a special furnishing tool given to officials during their lifetime, and is by no means a special funeral tool given to officials after their death.

Since it is a gift from the emperor and a symbol of the achievements and glory of the officials during their lifetime, when officials are about to die, they often ask their descendants to place such gifts that specifically represent their birth and honor in the tomb after their death and become burial items.
