Why is narcissus basin regarded as Song Huizong's favorite cat food basin by Qianlong?

An old lady is very cunning. In order to sell cats, she put a precious basin as a cat food basin. People who come here are afraid to buy this washbasin. They all say they want to buy the old lady's cat. The old lady said, "I can't put this washbasin on." I have to sell cats on this basin.

This joke is not made up out of thin air. There are many records in history. When we were reading history books, we found that a famous person once called a precious basin a "cat food basin". He is Emperor Qianlong.

At that time, there was a narcissus basin similar to Yao's in the palace. For this reason, Qianlong wrote a poem: the official kiln can't tell the Song Dynasty from the Tang Dynasty, and the fire has no bright future. This is a rumor about tableware, but Puyi knows how to pay. There is no business in Huaqing. Chaos explained that Saburo was in a hurry, and he knew more about Huang Qi.

Emperor Qianlong seldom wrote such sentimental descriptions, but he was wrong. He thinks the watchdog is a cat. Nevertheless, Emperor Qianlong cherished this "cat food container". 1745 in May, after ten years' development, it was announced that the cat food basin should be equipped with rosewood chairs, with lower height, deeper feet and deeper drawers. Cao Zhao, an expert in the Ming Dynasty, said in Gegu Essentials: "Those who have crab claw patterns are true, and those who have no patterns are especially good. In other words, "No Valley" is the best in Ru Ci. Because agate is used as raw material, the glaze is wonderfully sky blue, and the glaze is perfect, with almost no ice crack.

In the Song Dynasty, the specific use of the narcissus basin has not been answered, but it can be seen in the paintings of the Qing Dynasty that it is a bonsai appliance, such as the narcissus basin in Twelve Beauty.
