Infatuated emperors are naturally unhappy.

Speaking of this high-priced porcelain, I would also like to talk about its first owner, Zhu Jianshen, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. In the history of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor was unlucky. After the end of the civil war, his father Ming Yingzong was captured by the Walla army. In order to protect the Ming Dynasty, ministers decided to appoint his uncle Zhu Qiyu as emperor.

This was a good thing for the Ming Dynasty, but it was undoubtedly a disaster for Zhu Jianshen himself. At this time, Zhu Qiyu already had his own son. Although he ascended the throne to protect Daming Mountain, his human nature is secret. Of course, he is willing to let his son Zhu Jianji be a prince. The original Prince Zhu Jianshen was imprisoned by his uncle and ignored.

At that time, Zhu Jianshen was only two years old, which was the time when people needed to take care of him most. But the eunuchs and maids in the Forbidden City revolve around the new emperor. Who wants to care about the life and death of children? At this time, only a little maid-in-waiting named Wan Zhener was willing to accompany the little prince, eat with him, play games, and add clothes to him when it was cold. As time goes on, the little prince Zhu Jianshen likes Wan Zhener more and more.

In February of the eighth year of Jingtai, Ming Yingzong regained the throne from Zhu Qiyu and rebuilt Zhu Jianshen as a prince. Eight years later, Zhu Jianshen succeeded to the throne, and he will follow Wan Zhener to become an imperial concubine. Since then, although he married the emperor's daughter Wu Fei, he has been with her.

Make porcelain for children.

Zhu Jianshen devoted his life to Wan Guifei, and Wan Guifei lived up to expectations. In the summer of the second year of Chenghua, a prince was born. The prince is both his eldest son and the child of his favorite daughter. Zhu Jianshen would naturally take care of the child, but unfortunately, the child died after 10 months. Zhu Jianshen is deeply saddened by this.

Since then, Zhu Jianshen and other concubines have had many children. Most of his children died young. It is said that the deaths of these children are all related to Wan Guifei. Wan Zhener was in her thirties when she was called the imperial concubine. She was a semi-old Xu Niang. She was jealous of other concubines' pregnancy and killed their prince.

Zhu Jianshen, who loved Wan Zhener deeply, knew nothing about her murder of the heir to the throne and always thought it was her own problem. In order to get a son, he also ordered Jingdezhen Imperial Kiln Factory to make a batch of special porcelain for him. These porcelains are usually decorated with fruits. Melon decoration means "continuous melon shape", which means prosperity and future generations. It is really meaningful to order Zhu Jianshen craftsmen to make such porcelain.

Although Zhu Jianshen longed for his son, all the princes died young except Zhu Min, Zhu Youbin, Zhu Youbi and Zhu Youfang. He can only let the oldest Zhu be the prince. In the 23rd year of Chenghua, after the death of his beloved Wan Guifei, he was in great pain and died with her in August of that year.

High-quality goods in the prosperous period are collected at high prices.

The porcelains ordered by Xian Zong and Zhu Jianshen in Ming Dynasty were highly praised by people at that time. At this time, the Ming Dynasty was in a period of strong national strength. Therefore, the porcelains produced are mainly blue-and-white porcelains and fighting colored porcelains. Although the shape of porcelain is small, the materials used are exquisite. Decoration adopts double-line gold filling method. Light glaze color, fine particles and high quality. It's a classic.

Chenghua blue and white porcelain is mainly made of blue and white materials from Ping Dengqing and Sumatra. Its quality is light and beautiful, the craft is exquisite and delicate, the painter is delicate and soft, the flower and fruit patterns are simple and restrained, and the level is unparalleled. This is a masterpiece of blue and white porcelain in Ming Dynasty. Although the blue-and-white porcelain of this period can be called a fine product, the number passed down from generation to generation is not very large. Today, most porcelain handed down from generation to generation is kept in the Palace Museum in Taiwan.

At Sotheby's auction in Hong Kong in 20 13, an Amin dynasty blue-and-white gumbo palace bowl was finally sold for HK$ 1.45438+0 billion. The melon and fruit ornamentation painted on it is the witness of Zhu Jianshen's search for his son. These exquisite blue and white porcelain wares are obviously the fruit of Zong's life's painstaking efforts.

Zhu Jianshen, the obvious emperor, has existed for hundreds of years. Although it is obvious that Zong himself has long passed away, his obsession with these objects is eternal. The longest life span of human beings is 100 years, and there are still 60 trillion years from the earth. However, human beings know how to use their wisdom and invent new tools to change the living environment and record everything. This may be the difference between humans and other species. Even if our life has passed, the world will still leave traces of our existence. If we can integrate our wisdom and emotion into tools, it is possible to create real immortality.
