Chapter 1323 The First Shipwreck of the Southern Song Dynasty

Haiyao porcelain in the Yuan Dynasty was very rare, but the box-shaped "Piyong Inkstone" has even fewer shapes and forms, and mainly appeared in the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Piyong inkstone is a traditional handicraft, its surface is in the center, the research hall is connected with the ink pool, the center of the inkstone is raised high, and there are deep grooves around the inkstone to store water, so that calligraphers and painters can moisten their brushes and dip their ink in ink, showing its uniqueness. utility function.

The lower part of the inkstone is supported by a large number of beaded feet, which are obviously protruding and often have decorative patterns.

The unique shape of Piyong inkstone shows the originality of the maker.

Piyong inkstone is a representative type of Tang Dynasty. One of the treasures of Tang Dynasty is now in the Guangzhou Museum.

That inkstone was unearthed and belonged to Tang tombs.

It is 5.8 cm high, 22.5 cm in diameter and 24.3 cm in base diameter.

Round shape, the edge of the inkstone is extravagant, and the surface of the inkstone is raised, almost parallel to the edge of the plate.

Between the inkstone surface and the edge, there is a water storage groove around the circle.

The base of the inkstone is tied around the waist, and has 12 small round holes.

A piece of blue-yellow glaze is applied on the outer wall, and the glaze surface is bright.

In the development history of porcelain inkstone, Piyong inkstone is a rather unique shape.

What is Biyong?This is the place where the ancient emperor gave lectures.

"Ritual System King System" records: "The university is in the suburbs, the emperor is called Piyong, and the princes are called Lei Gong".

Cai Yong of the Eastern Han Dynasty explained it in "Ming Tang Dan Ling Lun": "It is surrounded by water on all sides, and the garden is like a wall. Later generations named it Bi Yong."

The ceramic craftsmen of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Sui and Tang Dynasties imitated the Piyong inkstone designed by Piyong, which is an art treasure with great ornamental value.

During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, due to the rapid development of the porcelain industry, a large number of ceramic inkstones emerged. Among them, the porcelain inkstone with a shape of a disc with feet was the most popular, which was also the predecessor of the Piyong inkstone in the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, three-legged or four-legged celadon disc inkstones were popular.

In the Southern and Northern Dynasties, it changed into Zhuzu inkstones and Piyong inkstones ranging from five-legged to ten-legged.

In the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the round and multi-legged Piyong inkstone was developed.

And this Yuan Dynasty inkstone box is even more extraordinary. Its top surface is painted with a five-clawed dragon, which should be ordered by the Yuan Dynasty royal family.

Such a royal artifact was somehow brought onto the ship, and it still appeared here.

Among the ceramics salvaged from the sea, those with exact written records and physical pictures are mainly exported products after the Tang Dynasty.

These ceramics are not only practical porcelain, but also display porcelain, as well as play porcelain and reward porcelain.

Some are products exclusively for export, and some are items used by the crew on board.

Some have an obvious exotic style, while others retain a rustic rural color.

From "Hailao Porcelain", we can clearly see that the achievements of ancient Chinese ceramic art can also see the historical style of traditional Chinese porcelain.

Of course, this piece of blue-and-white porcelain from the Yuan Dynasty broke into their salvage site by accident. Apart from this, there was no other discovery.

And just this is enough to make Chen Wenzhe happy.

The first stage of porcelain excavation has been completed, and no other piece of Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain has been found.

At this time, it is necessary to enter the second stage, which is mainly to salvage the sunken ship.

This time Chen Wenzhe is considered an archaeological excavation, so this time the archaeological excavation of the shipwreck site in the Southern Song Dynasty mainly focuses on the decomposition of condensation and the discharge of water from the hull.

If he does well, then this archaeological excavation will be the field of underwater archaeological excavation in my country. The ancient wooden shipwreck with high water saturation will be completely recorded, dismantled layer by layer, separated into water, scientifically preserved and transported back over long distances, etc. A series of project attempts.

The hull that came out of the water this time is definitely rare in China. Salvaging such a ship is of great significance to the study of the history of ancient shipbuilding in our country.

First of all, it has many layers of ship decks, most of which have five layers, and some have six layers, and the ship boards are large in size.

Most of the main ship planks are more than five meters long, the longest is 14.4 meters, and the width is more than 30 centimeters, the widest is 48 centimeters (No. 63 plank).

A total of 511 numbered ship boards were extracted this time, and 48 numbered ship boards were collected.

共装244x47x35厘米,和244x61x35厘米,两种规格的木箱177个。

In addition, nearly 100 samples were taken, including ship boards, ship materials, coral sand, etc. in various parts.

For this excavation, the total working time was 40 days, and the total diving time was longer than salvaging porcelain.

The smooth release of the shipwreck in the Southern Song Dynasty also marked a perfect end to the underwater archaeological excavation project in the open sea, which lasted several months.

The underwater sunken ship is essentially the largest cultural relic we have found underwater. It is not only the carrier of all ancient underwater cargo, but also a complete reproduction of ancient Chinese shipbuilding technology and ocean-going navigation technology.

The high value of its cultural relics and the difficulty of extraction and protection far exceed that of a single cultural relic.

The successful release of this ancient shipwreck is definitely an important step forward for our country in the field of underwater cultural heritage protection.

At the same time, it is also a milestone for the overall development of my country's underwater archeology.

Why do you say that, because there are more than 100 people here in Chen Wenzhe, not only those soldiers under Gao Qijing, but also many professionals.

For these people, Chen Wenzhe never asked, he just watched.

Without this group of professionals participating in the salvage, how could they have salvaged the entire ship in three months?

He is rich and has no selfishness, so he naturally cooperates with these people tacitly.

Of course, he can't say that he has no selfishness at all.

After all, he provided money, equipment, and clues, and the final receipt must be placed in his family's museum.

Nearly [-] artifacts from the shipwreck site were salvaged out of the water. The remaining ship boards were photographed and recorded underwater, and all were salvaged after being disassembled layer by layer.

Afterwards, these cultural relics and ship boards that came out of the water will definitely enter Chen Wenzhe's museum after conservation and restoration.

In addition to this shipwreck, there are also water relics.

Porcelain is the most numerous, with nearly [-] pieces.

7000 of them remain largely intact.

Among the porcelains, blue and white porcelains are the most, followed by celadon porcelains, and a small amount of sauce brown glazed ceramics. These porcelains are common daily-use porcelains such as bowls and dishes.

After identification, these are all export porcelain produced in the Southern Song Dynasty of my country.

Combined with the location of the sunken ship, Chen Wenzhe deduced that it was a Chinese ocean-going trade merchant ship in the Southern Song Dynasty, with a history of 800 years ago.

Now the ship has been dismantled, numbered and fully salvaged.

If it can be successfully repaired, then this sunken ship will be the first sunken ship of the Southern Song Dynasty discovered and salvaged by our country.

The sunken ship itself is an extremely precious cultural relic.

However, it is difficult to salvage these decayed ship boards from the seawater intact after 800 years of immersion in seawater.
