Blue and white porcelain sick sentence

There is nothing wrong with these two sentences.

For this song, Ma Weidu thinks that the best line is the beginning, that is, "The plain embryo outlines the blue and white brush strokes, which are thicker and lighter." But Ma Weidu believes that the most fallacious sentence is "The Han Dynasty writing on the bottom of the bottle imitates the elegance of the previous dynasty." In this regard, Ma Weidu's explanation is: Blue and white has quickly become the overlord of Chinese porcelain since its birth, and has not been shaken for 700 years. However, the bottom of the vase has never been written with Han official script. Only some blue and white vessels occasionally had official script written on them during the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty. Another mistake was "I was thinking about you when I copied the inscription in Song Dynasty". Ma Weidu said that the error in this lyric is that "the inscription in Song style is only seen on enamel porcelain from the Kangxi, Yongzong and Qian dynasties, but not on blue and white porcelain." Ma Weidu also pointed out that when Jay Chou sang in front of him, several pieces of porcelain appeared in the background, including One is a late Qing imitation, which is called a "fake" in today's terms.

Rehabilitate "Blue and White Porcelain" - Pei Guanghui refutes Ma Weidu's fallacy

Pei Guanghui: former member of the Art Evaluation Committee of the Ministry of Culture, member of the Chinese Folk Collection Appraisal Committee, visiting guest at Peking University Professor of Antiquities. Famous cultural relics appraiser and blue and white porcelain scholar. He has published many academic works on blue and white porcelain such as "Zhizheng Blue and White Porcelain", "Blank Period Blue and White Porcelain", "Transformation Period Blue and White Porcelain", "Clark Porcelain", "Kang, Yong and Qian Qian Blue and White Porcelain". In the "Guigu Gate Incident" at Christie's in London in 2005, he became famous overseas for questioning the company's auction of a blue and white Guigu jar from the Yuan Dynasty that sold for a sky-high price of 230 million yuan. He is known as the first famous auctioneer to a foreign country. The company said no to the Chinese cultural relics expert.

At this year’s CCTV Spring Festival Gala, the song "Blue and White Porcelain" sung by singer Jay Chou became the highlight of the party and received rave reviews, and won the second prize in the song and dance category of "My Favorite Spring Festival Gala Program". This is a song that uses Chinese blue and white porcelain as a creative element. It uses porcelain as a "Chinese element" to create a song. The idea is novel and opens up a new path for "Chinese style" song creation. The lyrics and singing are both very beautiful. The beautiful pictures of ancient blue and white porcelain on the large screen background of the stage add to the visual impact of the program. It can be said to be a program that is both audio-visual and enjoyable. No wonder it quickly became popular and sung in China as soon as it was broadcast.

However, while the popularity of the song is still rising strongly, Mr. Ma Weidu, a collector in Beijing, has spoken out: There are fallacies in the lyrics of "Blue and White Porcelain", and "these mistakes are very low-level and can be seen by ordinary people." . The hypersensitive nerves of the entertainment press were immediately aroused, so the newspapers immediately came up with such "eye-catching" headlines: "Jay Chou is being picked on, collectors say he doesn't understand porcelain" ("Morning News"), "Collectors Ma Weidu said Jay Chou's lyrics are ridiculously wrong" ("Chengdu Business Daily"), "Ma Weidu: Jay Chou's lyrics are ridiculously wrong" ("News Noon News") "Jay Chou has flaws, experts say the author doesn't know much about porcelain" ("Modern Times") Express") "Jay Chou's lyrics are widely spread" ("Changjiang Business News") "It's a fake" ("Qingdao Morning News")...

So what "very low-level" things did the lyricist Mr. Fang Wenshan commit? What about errors? Mr. Ma singled out two points:

"Ma Weidu believes that the most fallacious sentence is 'the Han official script on the bottom of the bottle imitates the elegance of the previous dynasty'. In this regard, Ma Weidu's explanation is that the blue and white flowers have been born since the birth of At that time, it quickly became the overlord of Chinese porcelain, and no one could challenge it for seven hundred years. However, the bottom of the bottle never had official script written on it. Only some blue and white vessels had official script written on them during the Chongzhen Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty. Obviously, the person who wrote the words was not. I know too much about porcelain. Another mistake is "I am thinking about you when I copy the Song style inscription." Ma Weidu said that the mistake in this lyrics is that "the Song style inscription is only seen on the enamel porcelain of the Kangxi, Yongzong and Qian Dynasties, but not on the blue and white porcelain." " ("Beijing Morning News": "Famous appraiser: Jay Chou made a stupid mistake in "Blue and White Porcelain")

It turns out that Mr. Ma asked the lyricist to write the lyrics like an academic paper, and he could not use fictional words. Imagination, exaggeration and other literary means, otherwise you will inevitably make "low-level mistakes".

This reminds me of a joke made by the literary giant Su Dongpo of the Song Dynasty: Wang Qi, a poet of the Song Dynasty, composed two "Bamboo Poems". He proudly recited them in front of Su Dongpo. "Thousands of spears are raised." Dongpo was quite dissatisfied, and said sarcastically, "It is indeed very good, but if you look at it this way, there are only one bamboo leaf for ten bamboo poles." Afterwards, he said to others, "It's easy to laugh at things in this world. It’s hard not to laugh when reading Dr. Wang Qi’s poems.” (See Part 2 of "Miscellaneous Notes on the Song Dynasty" in Volume 55 of "Tiaoxi Yuyincong Hua") In fact, it was not Wang Qi who should laugh but Su Dongpo. As a great writer, he shouldn't. You don't even understand the special rules of literary creation, but you use arithmetic tools such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division to criticize poetry. Literature uses image thinking, and arithmetic uses logical thinking. How can they be confused? Such a joke was also made by Yang Sheng'an in the Ming Dynasty. He once criticized Du Mu's famous poem "Jiangnan Spring" and said: "A thousand-mile oriole crows green and reflects red" should originally be "Ten-mile oriole crows green and reflects red". "This version has mistakenly written "Thousands of miles". According to the popular version, who can hear the cry of the oriole thousands of miles away? Who can see the thousands of miles of green? "(Yang Shen's "Sheng'an Poetry" 8)

Wang Fuzhi once gave an example in "Jiangzhai Poetry Talk" of "attacking his shield with his spear" and said, "Especially for those who are sour and ignorant, they not only seek the source of the poem, but also use the poem as the source to verify the truth. Du Shi'I If you want to buy a bucket of wine, you only have 300 bronze coins, so you can use it as the price of wine in the Tang Dynasty. Why don’t you get thirty times the interest? It’s ridiculous to ask for the source.” Mr. Ma’s incomprehension is exactly the mistake of “seeking the source of a poem, rather than using the poem as the source to verify the truth.” Therefore, as soon as the song "Great Drink" came out, the singer's fans immediately accused her of being "nitpicky".

However, what surprises me even more is: After repeated consideration, I found that the two "faults" picked out by Mr. Ma in the lyrics of "Blue and White Porcelain" are even from the pedantic "academic" point of view of "examination of truth". From the perspective of "perspective", the result is that there is no "flaw" to complain about and no "flaw" to seek. In other words, the description of blue and white porcelain in the lyrics of "Blue and White Porcelain" is completely consistent with the reality of ancient blue and white porcelain, and there are no "low-level errors" and "fallacies" pointed out by Mr. Ma. Now we might as well analyze the two "flaws" picked out by Mr. Ma as follows:

1. According to Mr. Ma, the most serious fallacy is "the elegance of the Han Dynasty's official script imitating the previous dynasty on the bottom of the bottle" One sentence. Why? Because "Han official script has never been written on the bottom of the bottle on the blue and white porcelain, only official script was occasionally written on the body of some blue and white vessels during the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty." In fact, in the blue and white porcelain of the late Ming and early Qing dynasties (academically called the "transition period"), there were a large number of official script inscriptions. The official script inscriptions were an important feature of the blue and white porcelain in the transition period. Although they mostly appeared on the body and mouth of the vessel, they were not found on the vessel. The bottom ones are by no means missing, they are just relatively few. For example, the Palace Museum has a blue and white bowl-shaped stove with a picture of the infant's play winning the title, with the blue and white official script "Made in the Jiajing Year of the Ming Dynasty" on the bottom; the Jinjiang Museum in Quanzhou also has a blue and white elephant-eared gui with a unicorn pattern in the late Ming Dynasty, with the blue and white official script "Crane" on the bottom. "Taiwan Treasures" model. At the Hangzhou art auction in the autumn of 2006, a large blue and white eight-treasure vase from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty (Lot No. 1317) appeared. The inscription on the bottom was "Made in the Qianlong Year of the Qing Dynasty" with six characters and three lines of official script. This shows that the practice of writing official inscriptions on the bottom of blue and white vases not only existed during the transition period, but also continued into the mid-Qing Dynasty. Generally, the official inscriptions on the bottom of blue and white carved utensils (including stoves, vases, flower cups, etc.) are mostly hall number inscriptions, but there are also a few praise inscriptions and year inscriptions.

2. Another mistake picked out by Mr. Ma is "copying the Song style inscription but thinking about you." Why? Because "Song style inscriptions are only seen on enamel porcelain from the Kangxi, Yongzong and Qian dynasties, but not on blue and white porcelain." What must be pointed out here is that Mr. Ma's understanding of what Song style characters are is still vague, or it is not correct, comprehensive and in-depth enough. The blue and red characters on the enamel porcelain of the Kangxi, Yongzong and Qian dynasties are one of the Song-style characters, the so-called "Song-style". (According to the term "Song style" is not a formal term in the publishing industry, it is a common name in the traditional antique circle for a type of Ming Dynasty Song style. It was first seen in Zhao Ruzhen's "Antique Guide".

) In fact, there are many forms of Song-ti characters, the most important of which are two: the "Fake Song-ti" (called "Song-ti" in Japan) formed in the Song Dynasty and the "Song-ti" formed in the Ming Dynasty (called "Ming-ti" in Japan, also known as antique The so-called "Song style" in the world). Both Song styles evolved from the regular script of the brush, and are printing fonts formed by applying regular script to engraving. However, because the Song style was formed earlier, it retains more characteristics of calligraphy; because the Song style was formed later, it has more features of knife carving. In fact, it is not difficult to identify the two types of Song style: that is, the horizontal and vertical paintings of "Imitation Song style" are about the same thickness, with no huge difference, and the style is close to handwriting; Engraved (see Figure 3). For a long time, many people in the antiques industry have had a misunderstanding, regarding the so-called "Song style" (that is, the horizontally thin and vertical thick Song style characters formed in the Ming Dynasty) that mainly appeared on enamel-colored porcelain as the only style of Song style characters. A large number of imitation Song-style scripts that appear in the world are called "regular script" and are close to handwriting. In fact, if we examine the actual situation of blue and white porcelain since its inception, it is not difficult to find that from the Yongle and Xuande reigns of the Ming Dynasty to the late Qing Dynasty, Song style inscriptions on blue and white porcelain (mostly "imitation Song style" with handwriting style) are everywhere. There are not only the Song Dynasty year number, but also the Song Ti Tang title, auspicious words, praise and so on. However, because many people in the antique world mistakenly believe that "Song Chongti" is the only Song script, and on the other hand confuse a large number of "imitation Song script" with regular script. With this misunderstanding, they turn a blind eye to the large number of Song scripts that appear on blue and white porcelain. No wonder. It should be further pointed out that on the blue and white porcelain, there are not only "imitation Song style" inscriptions, but also "Song Dynasty style" inscriptions. The latter is not "only seen on the enamel porcelain of the Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qian Dynasties", but the number on the blue and white porcelain is not as much as that of the imitation Song style. That’s just too much. Therefore, what Mr. Ma said, "Song style inscriptions are only seen on enamel porcelain from the Kangxi, Yongzong, and Qian dynasties, but not seen on blue and white porcelain." is not consistent with the facts.

By the way, I would like to correct another mistake made by Mr. Ma, which is about the so-called "fake" issue in the stage background. Mr. Ma said: "When Jay Chou was singing in front of him, several pieces of porcelain appeared in the background. One of them was a late Qing imitation, which is called a 'fake' in today's terms." Everyone in the industry knows that the so-called "fake" There is a relative nature of time. For example, Kangxi's porcelain imitating Ming Dynasty Xuande's porcelain can be called "fake" in the eyes of people in Kangxi's era. But if this porcelain reaches Guangxu, it is already considered "antique" in the eyes of people in Guangxu's era. In the same way, if a piece of porcelain from the late Qing Dynasty imitated the previous dynasty and was passed down to the 21st century, it would already be a qualified antique. How could it still be called a "fake"? Could it be that Mr. Ma regarded himself as a "late Qing person"? Therefore, the accusation that the so-called "fake" appears in the stage background is not valid.

However, Ma Weidu commented on this song in his blog on Sina and wrote this paragraph at the end, which may express his meaning: No matter what, blue and white are the popular lovers in traditional Chinese culture. , Jay Chou is indispensable for bringing the public lovers of the past seven hundred years to their eyebrows, re-dressing them up, and pushing them to the front stage of the Spring Festival Gala.
