Yongzheng may be the most legendary and diverse emperor in the Qing Dynasty. Whether it is the anecdote of his hiding place, the ups and downs of his nine sons when he succeeded to the throne, or various special measures during his tenure, it is very topical. In recent years, his aesthetic taste has been paid more and more attention, and he even became an "internet celebrity" with his "indifferent nature" imperial porcelain. People deliberately compare his "high cold" with the "peasant style" porcelain of Qianlong Dynasty, creating a humorous effect.

Then, why is the aesthetic taste of Yongzheng "cold" in the manufacture and appreciation of imperial porcelain?

Compared with father and son, Yongzheng actually had a relatively "difficult" life.

Kangxi's era is the early days of the empire, and the indulgence and wildness from the desert grassland are still deeply flowing in his blood, so we see that Kangxi likes hunting and hunting. In addition to external freedom, the emperor also has a strong thirst for knowledge. He "has been immersed in exploring the ways in which everything comes into being and changes" and has expressed interest in western geometry, machinery and medicine. Therefore, Kangxi, a gifted scholar, has magnificent and elegant artistic porcelain, which shows the times style of enriching the country and enriching the people. There are many people who are tall and strong, magnificent and magnificent, especially large-size knives. There are also a few small works that are exquisite and beautiful. Glaze colors are various, and glaze paintings are even more colorful. "

In Yongzheng's generation, according to the research of Miyazaki, a well-known Japanese oriental historian, the political looseness in Kangxi Dynasty (which is also related to personal character) led to the rampant cronies. Yongzheng once "looked on coldly" during his decades of hiding in Tibet. He even said, "You try to think of today's emperor as the fourth elder brother who has experienced the ups and downs of the world." Therefore, after he succeeded to the throne, he turned himself into an "autocratic monarch", aiming at reforming bureaucratic organizations and establishing a brand-new bureaucratic system. "Everything is entrusted to me", so Yongzheng asked everything and only slept for four or five hours a day; And rigorous and meticulous, try not to make mistakes. Reflected in the shape of porcelain, it is introverted from the shape; Judging from the color and decoration, it is not conspicuous.

Lin Shu, the research office of the Palace Museum, once wrote that Yongzheng respected both refined and popular tastes, repeatedly stressed the need for elegance, refinement, simplicity and refinement, and demanded that the "inner court production style" be used as the basic standard to measure the usefulness of handicrafts. The so-called "exquisiteness" refers to almost demanding attention in design, material selection, production, decoration, color, modeling and other aspects. This can be not only collected from the archives of various places, but also directly reflected from a large number of handicrafts left by the Qing palace during Yongzheng period. For example, the circle foot of the official kiln porcelain should also be rounded into a "loach back", which has a delicate feeling like glutinous rice flour. It is this exquisiteness, this "precision", that makes the handicrafts of Yongzheng dynasty stand out in the Qing Dynasty and establish the character of "aloof".

Lin Shu believes that Yongzheng admired the porcelain of the Song Dynasty. Under the influence of Neo-Confucianism, Song Dynasty porcelain was solemn, standardized and rigorous, and was famous for its generous and beautiful shape, pure and bright colors, ever-changing kiln and elegant and fresh style. These characteristics are in line with the aesthetic standards of elegance, simplicity and elegance of Yongzheng, who has a special liking for Song porcelain.

Why did Yongzheng love the ancient style of ceramics? The author believes that this is his natural choice. On the big side, he witnessed the political oligarchy of the Kangxi Dynasty and experienced the nine sons' victory. He believes that autocracy is the best way to govern the country, and the theoretical basis of this prescription can only be found in Chinese culture, especially Confucian culture. Therefore, unlike Kangxi, he didn't go back to the ancient wisdom of the Han people to find inspiration, and his "worship of the ancient" style was naturally reflected in porcelain.
