Why is Song Guan Kiln porcelain so valuable? Why is Song Guan Kiln porcelain so valuable?

Song Gaozong Zhao Gou was the first person in the Southern Song Dynasty. Zhongxing was 265,438+0 years old when crossing the river. As an adult, he was deeply impressed by his rich life before. After he arrived in Hangzhou, he missed the extravagant life of the Northern Song Dynasty very much. In the Song Dynasty, Lin Sheng's poem described it like this: "When will the West Lake dance stop?" Warm winds make tourists drunk and Hangzhou a continent. "This poem reflects the mentality of the Southern Song people from one angle, and still misses the life of the Northern Song Dynasty. In fact, Zhao Gou is trying to build Hangzhou into a city like the capital of song dynasty, which embodies the spirit of song dynasty.

In terms of porcelain firing, the conditions in the south are relatively superior to those in the north. At that time, there were Yueyao, Secret Color and Longquan in the south, and the foundation was very thick. I want to burn the official kiln quickly. Therefore, in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, the official kiln was soon made decent. Although it is different from the official kiln in the Northern Song Dynasty, there is little difference in general appearance.

After the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Jin people transported all the precious things in the Northern Song Dynasty to the northeast, including the official kiln porcelain. When the ritual system was restored in the Southern Song Dynasty, many ritual vessels were gone. If it is made of gold, silver, copper and other metals, the state finance will not allow it, and porcelain will be forced to enter the market quickly. In the 11th year of Shaoxing (1 143), after the Southern Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty made peace, the political situation was stable and it was necessary to restore the ritual system. It was an urgent task for the imperial court to produce a large number of ritual vessels. In the 13th year of Shaoxing (1 145), the records of Lin 'an in Xianchun recorded: "Those who use copper and jade have the right to use pottery and wood." What should be made of copper and jade is a ritual vessel. Because of financial backwardness, porcelain and wood can be used instead. "Tao" here refers to porcelain. This is an expedient measure. Make a change. Therefore, Yan-shaped bottles, flower beds and other shapes are all ritual vessels of the official kiln in the Southern Song Dynasty.

Many years ago, I saw the Song Imperial Kiln in the home of a big family in Shanghai. His ancestors were great officials and literati in history, with a good background. Their home was raided during the Cultural Revolution, and after it was returned, hundreds of things were returned. After I knew the news, I went to see him, and everything was dazzling. Of course, many of them are general, but many of them are very important. Seeing the official kiln and the Ge kiln at that time, I wanted to buy everything. But I don't want to buy what he wants to sell; I want to buy it, but he doesn't want to sell it. Because for him, the story behind everything is different and the background is different, which also involves his personal feelings, which makes him reluctant to sell something. He has a small washware from the official kiln and a small bottle from the Ge kiln, which he showed me as the most important family heirloom. When he came up, he told me about the five famous kilns in the Song Dynasty. Today, we can say that there are five famous kilns: Ru Kiln, Guan Kiln, Ge Kiln, Jun Kiln and Ding Kiln. But most people didn't know what the five famous kilns were at that time, so he knew and told me. I just want to buy these two things from him. He said, "I don't want to sell these two things, but I can sell others." I didn't buy it for the first time.

Later, every time I went to Shanghai on business, I would go to his house to chat, drink tea and grind. After a long time, he was embarrassed and finally agreed to sell it to me. He said, "You can buy one. You can choose one of these two things and I will sell them to you, but you can't have both. " This is very difficult for me. At that time, it was not easy for us to meet such important collections as official kilns and elder kilns. I really want to buy two at a time. I will grind it with him. He said, "No, I went against my original intention. I didn't want to sell it to you. Today, I asked you to choose one. You can't push your luck. " I thought, yeah, I can't push my luck. Then my problem appeared, and I had to choose between them. Which one do you choose? I think either one is good! I picked up the official kiln and felt that the Ge kiln was good. I picked up a Ge kiln and thought the official kiln was good. My heart hurts. At this time, I realized a problem in life. The problem of life is not to choose to a great extent, but to give up. I'm going to give up one now, so it makes sense. Just like you like two girls at the same time, you have to give up one to get married. It's not that you must choose one of the two girls, but that you must give up one.

Finally, I followed a conventional idea, that is, the five famous kilns were arranged in sequence: Ru kiln, Guan kiln, Ge kiln, Jun kiln and Ding kiln. I don't want to go to Ruyao. The official kiln and the old kiln appear at the same time. I will buy the official kiln first in order. So I bought the official kiln washing, which is now on display in the Guanfu Museum, and I can see it when I visit it.

In the collection, we often encounter many specific problems. When you encounter problems, think twice before you act, and you will gain something in life. For example, when you find a contradiction, you must try to give up one, so that you can take a step in life.

The possibility of official kiln collection in Song Dynasty is very low. For more than a thousand years, official kilns have enjoyed supreme status, and most of them have entered world-class museums. Once in the museum, the possibility of circulation is slim.

Have you ever sold the official kiln washing in the Song Dynasty? Sold it. 1989, Sotheby's in Hong Kong auctioned an official kiln washing, and the transaction price at that time was 22 million Hong Kong dollars. Pay attention to this time. Nearly 20 years ago, it was HK$ 22 million, which set a world record for China porcelain. This record has been kept for a long time.

In the 1980s, people's aesthetics paid little attention to gaudy collections, but more attention to antique ones, so the price of Song porcelain at that time was very high. After entering the 2 1 century, a large number of new Tibetan artists have appeared, and the aesthetic evaluation of new Tibetan artists is a process from simple to complex. A simple aesthetic is that I am willing to spend more money if I look good. Then, in the face of such a high-level aesthetic collection as Song Imperial Kiln, the new collectors are reluctant to pay for it. Therefore, the later records were constantly refreshed by famille rose, multicolored and fighting colors in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. But I think sooner or later, it may not be long before people's aesthetics will return to the true nature, and the official kiln in the Song Dynasty will definitely re-establish its position as the leader of the rivers and lakes.

Now make a summary of the official kiln in Song Dynasty.

First, the official kilns in the Northern Song Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty all have the characteristics of purple mouth and iron feet. The so-called "purple mouth iron foot" refers to the thin glaze on the mouth, revealing purple fetal bones; The exposed part of the circle foot is iron brown. The ancients summarized it as "purple mouth and iron foot", which was more obvious in the Southern Song Dynasty than in the Northern Song Dynasty, because in the Southern Song Dynasty, the glaze was not as thick as the Northern Song Dynasty, and the characteristics were not obvious when the glaze was thick.

Second, the official kilns in the Northern Song Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty were all open, and the rules were different. It is difficult to determine what belongs to the Southern Song Dynasty and what belongs to the Northern Song Dynasty.

Third, the official kilns in the Northern Song Dynasty were heavy, while those in the Southern Song Dynasty were light and thin. This feature is related to the personality of people in the north and south regions. Northerners are rugged and southerners are slim. Northerners and southerners sometimes pay attention to differences. In the firing of porcelain, generally speaking, the porcelain tires in the Northern Song Dynasty are thicker and those in the Southern Song Dynasty are thinner. Therefore, when distinguishing the porcelain of the Northern and Southern Song Dynasties, sometimes it can be accurately judged only by the carcass.

The official kiln of the Song Dynasty came to an abrupt end in the Yuan Dynasty. Because of the conflict with the social background, people in the Yuan Dynasty did not appreciate this kind of blue and song porcelain. It was not until the Qing Dynasty that the Forbidden City began to take the initiative to copy. Understanding this social background will be beneficial to porcelain identification.
