Ge Kiln in Song Dynasty is a mysterious "noble in porcelain"
China's culture is profound, and even if there are stars in the museum, it is just a trickle in the vast river. Among them, the most talked about by historians and archaeologists is porcelain. In English, both China and ceramic are translated into China, which shows the cultural status of porcelain in the world. Recently, the "Geyao and Zheng Dehong Porcelain Exhibition" launched by the Palace Museum attracted thousands of tourists from Qian Qian with its unique charm.
Legend has it that the site of Geyao is located in Longquan, but among the five famous kilns in Song Dynasty, Geyao is the only porcelain kiln whose site has not been found so far. It is like a fairy in ancient mythology, but it is out of reach from a distance. Most of the existing Geyao works are collected by the Qing court, also known as Geyao handed down from generation to generation. Because its shape does not match the characteristics of Geyao described in ancient books, more people doubt whether Geyao porcelain, regarded as a treasure in history books, really exists.
Gold wire, iron wire and grain outline the prosperity of the bottle.
Ge Yao's works have three characteristics, namely "purple mouth and iron feet", "golden thread" and "gathering beads and balls".
The purple mouth and iron foot refers to the thin enamel at the mouth of Ge Yao's works, so it is called "purple mouth", while the bottom is generally iron-black without enamel, so it is called "iron foot".
Gold wire and iron wire means that enamel patches are alternately composed of thicker black wires and thinner gold wires. The two lines are criss-crossed, just like the frozen lake in early spring inadvertently cracked, which is very rhythmic and natural. Among the lines, ice crack and eel blood line are the top grade, followed by plum blossom ink line, and fine lines are common lines.
The reason for gathering beads and balls is that the enamel of Geyao works is thick, and there are many dense small bubbles hidden in it, so this wonderful effect is presented, which is also a major feature of distinguishing the authenticity of Geyao porcelain.
Handed down collections, witness the Millennium exquisite skills.
The Song Dynasty Ge Kiln Celadon Bottle in the Palace Museum in Beijing is 20. 1 cm in height, 6.4 cm in diameter and 9.7 cm in foot diameter. The bottle mouth is wide and the neck is slender, just like a woman standing proudly in a cheongsam, dignified and beautiful, with exquisite curves. The bottle body is densely covered with gold and iron wires, which are connected with the four strings in a patchwork way, making the simple and simple porcelain bottle more ornamental and artistic.

Another representative of Ge Kiln in the Palace Museum in Beijing is a bile bottle, with a height of 14.2 cm, a diameter of 2.2 cm and a foot diameter of 5.4 cm. The bottle body is getting smaller and smaller, the neck is as long as a white swan, and the neck gradually widens, and the longest diameter is near the circle foot. This work has black and beige stripes, and its shape is beautiful. Only the works of the Song Dynasty have such charm, and only a handful of them remain in the world. It is a unique "specimen" for studying the porcelain culture of the Song Dynasty.

Ge Yao's works embody the wisdom and exquisite craftsmanship of ancient working people. The crack was originally an accident in the process of burning porcelain, but it was spied by skilled craftsmen and applied, adding a bit of aura and charm to the cold and simple porcelain.
Lasting forever, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign.
Although there are not many records of Ge Yao in ancient books, we can still explore his characteristics of inheritance, innovation and inclusiveness from these sporadic praises.
In recent years, Ge Ye Kiln, as the representative, has attracted much attention at home and abroad. Whether it's the six exhibits in the "20 14 Sino-French Master Craftsman Summit Dialogue" or the moon-white glaze vase and pink-green glaze string vase unveiled at the G20 summit in Hangzhou, they have perfectly displayed the traditional crafts of China to the world, and also added a rich touch of color to the cultural exchange between China and the West, which has enabled the international community to have a deeper understanding of Chinese civilization, China porcelain and Ge kilns in the Song Dynasty.
If ancient porcelain is a vast galaxy, then Ge Kiln must be the brightest one. In 65438+February, "Ge Yao and Zheng Dehong Cure Porcelain Exhibition in the Palace Museum", together with Xiao Xin, stopped to collect works handed down from generation to generation, to appreciate the ingenuity of ancestors and the pride rooted in the blood of China people!
