Chapter 1,246 The pinnacle of history

Let’s not talk about the varieties of porcelain in the Ming Dynasty, but also talk about how many glaze-colored porcelains were there in the Qing Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty?

The twelve monochrome glazed chrysanthemum petal plates imitated by Chen Wenzhe before are very telling.

Although Chen Wenzhe knew that the artistic achievements of the Three Qing Dynasties were very high, he never thought about it carefully and summarized it.

But this time, he mainly made patterns. As long as there is a glaze color and a shape of the vessel, he can make peony patterns.

In this way, Chen Wenzhe also needs to summarize how many achievements it has been in the Qing Dynasty.

Although this is an ethnic minority regime, it has to be said that in the Qing Dynasty, especially in the third dynasty, artistic achievements were really high.

Since the 16th century BC, the development of porcelain has entered a peak era in the Qing Dynasty.

This period was the second peak in the history of my country's ceramic development after the Song Dynasty.

It was during this period that the technology of making porcelain entered its peak period.

Thousands of years of experience have made it very advanced in production.

During the three generations of Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong, due to the prosperity of society and society, the development of porcelain at that time entered a prosperous era.

Especially the porcelain from the third dynasty of Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong developed to the peak of the Qing Dynasty.

Its colors are colorful and diverse, and it emphasizes fine workmanship and spares no effort.

However, with the decline of the Qing Dynasty's national strength, the development of porcelain gradually declined from the Daoguang period.

The later porcelains looked rough and loose in their body, and the whiteness was a little worse.

The lines of the instrument are stiff, often with edges and corners, without a round beauty, making them appear clumsy and heavy.

If you think about it carefully, the development of porcelain in the Qing Dynasty was divided into three periods, namely before Shunzhi in the early Qing Dynasty, then the Third Dynasties and the Late Qing Dynasty.

In the early Qing Dynasty, the development of ceramics before Shunzhi was not very large.

In the late Ming Dynasty, there were many melee battles, which had a huge blow to handicraft industry, and the development of ceramics was also greatly affected.

The kiln factory was closed and the craftsmen were scattered until the Qing Dynasty unified it.

The most representative Jingzhen Ceramics did not resume production until the eleventh year of Shunzhi.

Therefore, it can be said that ceramics in the Qing Dynasty did not resume production until the Shunzhi period.

The Shunzhi period was a development period that connected the past and the future, and the products had obvious transitional characteristics of the development period.

At this time, the body of the porcelain was relatively thick, and the utensils were made of slightly rough objects, and the edges were covered with yellow glaze, which was yellow-brown.

The porcelain shape, patterns, glaze color and other aspects of the Shunzhi period are similar to those of the Chongzhen period in the late Ming Dynasty, and at the same time they have the characteristics of the Kangxi period.

That's why the Shunzhi period was a process that connected the past and the future.

The next was the mid-Qing Dynasty, that is, the Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong periods, which was the heyday of ceramic development.

The Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong dynasties were famous in history as the "Kangxi, Qianlong prosperous era". Regardless of whether this prosperous era was real or not, it was just because of the political situation and economic prosperity that time, the development of ceramics also entered its heyday accordingly.

Ceramics from the Kangxi period were one of the key points of jdz ceramics in the Qing Dynasty.

From glaze color, patterns, painting and other aspects, porcelain making during the Kangxi period had a high level.

Among them, "green hair color" and "sapphire blue" are the best.

If you want to imitate porcelain from the Third Qing Dynasty, some particularly important varieties cannot be missed, and there must be Qingmao blue.

Therefore, the development of porcelain during the Kangxi period occupied an important position in the development of porcelain in the entire Qing Dynasty.

There are many types of Kangxi porcelain, with simple shapes and heavy bodies. The objects of the same size are heavier than those of other periods.

The main colors are red, yellow, green, purple, blue, black, etc., and blue and white are rarely used.

In later works, the characters' faces are only contoured and not filled in color.

By the Yongzheng period, porcelain production reached a historical high.

Although this period was not long, after all, Yong Zheng's time was in office, the porcelain made was exquisite, with a light and handsome overall style, elegant and round.

During the Yongzheng period, compared with the official kilns, there were also many well-made porcelains.

Such as "pastel", "doucai", "blue and white", "color glaze", etc.

During the Yongzheng period, very few of the most precious works of official kilns were passed down from generation to generation.

Yongzheng porcelain is the finest and most exquisite among the Qing Dynasty porcelains, which is inseparable from the hobbies of Emperor Yongzheng, the ruler at that time.

The porcelain during the Yongzheng period was extremely thin, with a slightly light blue color in Yangon perspective and translucent shape.

The Qianlong period was the peak of social development in the Qing Dynasty. At that time, a large number of skilled craftsmen gathered in the imperial kiln factory, which made the level of porcelain firing in the Qianlong Dynasty improve.

During this period, the official kiln porcelain was famous for its colorful variety and exquisite production.

Among the pastel porcelain, the colored pastel is more made than the white pastel.

Finally, it was the late Qing Dynasty, which was the decline after Jiaqing.

After Jiaqing, the national strength of the Qing Dynasty gradually declined, and the development of porcelain also entered a period of decline.

At this time, porcelain began to slowly decline in terms of quality, quantity, and variety of colors from this period.

At this time, porcelain manufacturing was not dared to go beyond a step. Without innovation, the variety was far less abundant than that of the Qianlong period.

By Xianfeng and during the Tongzhi period, the social economy in the Qing Dynasty gradually declined, and the production of Jingzhen official kilns also declined, the technology became low, and the products were much less.

After the "Tongguang Revival", the social economy rebounded, and the ceramic industry also experienced an extremely short revival, but it was no longer the same as the Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong periods.

To truly talk about the artistic achievements of Qing Dynasty porcelain, that is, Qing Dynasty ceramics not only continued the traditional porcelain style, but also carried out a lot of innovations on it.

Whether in terms of shape, patterns or techniques, we have achieved new heights.

It also incorporated the Western style of the time and finally achieved world-renowned artistic achievements.

At that time, Jingzhen official kiln porcelain represented the highest level of porcelain in our country and even the world.

In terms of technology, the Qing Dynasty ceramics were exquisite, spared no effort, meticulous work, and the firing process was the pinnacle of history.

In terms of art, Qing Dynasty ceramics were excellent in all aspects such as utensils, patterns, etc., and had a rich decorative theme.

In order to cater to the aesthetic tastes of the ruling class, these patterns are mostly based on auspicious and satisfying content.

For example, the animal patterns symbolize the royal family, the dragon patterns and phoenix patterns, the unicorns and auspicious beasts, etc.;

Peony, chrysanthemum, fairy peach, and tangled lotus patterns among plant patterns.

These gorgeous and exquisite patterns not only reflect the aesthetic view of the time, but also are full of traditional beauty in our country, providing modern design with elements full of "Chinese style".

It can be said that ceramics in the Qing Dynasty were the pinnacle of ceramic craftsmanship in my country's feudal society.

Whether in terms of decorativeness or practicality, many of its essence have been passed down to this day.

From complex patterns to classic instrument types, many instrument types have been used to this day.

And it has been constantly innovated, laying a solid foundation for the modern ceramic industry.
