My system is not decent

Chapter 1328 The Last Witness

Daoguang is the reign name of Aixinjueluo Minning, the eighth emperor of the Qing Dynasty and the sixth emperor after the Qing army entered the customs.

He was also considered a long-lived emperor in the Qing Dynasty, and this year name was used for 30 years.

During Min Ning's reign, the Opium War broke out, which shocked China and foreign countries, which marked the beginning of modern Chinese history.

The modern history of our country is a history of humiliation.

Therefore, no matter how some current domestic experts try to cleanse Emperor Daoguang, they will not be able to clean up the fact that he lost power and humiliated the country time and time again.

It was during the Daoguang period that Dazhonghua was stripped off even the last trace of underwear. How can it be washed?

Said that he is diligent in government and loves the people?Repeated defeat?indomitable?

It's all nonsense, this is an out-and-out prodigal son, of course, Jiaqing and Qianlong are the same stuff.

If there were a few commendable emperors in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it can only be counted as one and a half.

One is Yongzheng, the other half is Kangxi, and the others are not sons of man!

Chen Wenzhe is not interested in Daoguang, but the porcelain from the Daoguang period should still have the last afterglow of the three dynasties of the Qing Dynasty, so you can still take a look.

If the number is large, then the harvest this time must not be bad.

"Look over there, there is another piece of porcelain, it seems to be a white glaze powder box, this is purely exported porcelain, it seems that since the Tang and Song Dynasties, when foreigners came to China, they have to buy this kind of porcelain box!"

Before that, Chen Wenzhe also found many bluish-white glazed porcelain boxes on the shipwreck of the Song Dynasty.

According to other reports, many shipwrecks have this thing.

Unexpectedly, this kind of thing was found on this shipwreck in the late Qing Dynasty.

Afterwards, more porcelain was discovered, the representative of which is the blue-brown glazed porcelain vase.

And this kind of porcelain bottle seems to have been found on the "Taixing" as well.

In fact, it's normal to think about it, because the Daoguang period was a very special period.

The sailboats that appeared here during this period can be regarded as the last witness and epitome of my country's ancient Maritime Silk Road.

Because the "Taixing" sank in 1822, less than 20 years after it the Opium War broke out.

Since then, the sailing ships in ancient my country have disappeared from the sea forever.

During this period of time, the great powers of all countries in the world have seen the weakness of the Qing Dynasty.

Since it is weak, the interests of the sea must be given up.

Therefore, at this stage, the ships of the Qing Dynasty going to sea will be hunted by a large number of so-called pirates.

The Taixing was not accidental, and the sunken ship discovered by Chen Wenzhe was not an exception either.

From this perspective, it can be said that the ancient Chinese Maritime Silk Road, which lasted for more than 2000 years, finally came to an end with the sinking of wooden sailing ships such as the "Taixing".

The "Taixing" and this unknown shipwreck are the last "sail shadows" of my country's ancient Maritime Silk Road.

The sinking time of this ship should not be much later than the Taixing.

Therefore, the porcelain on this ship should not be much different from the porcelain on the Taixing.

Sure enough, as the submersible kept approaching the ship, Chen Wenzhe and others saw countless blue and white porcelain scattered on the bottom of the sea.

Densely packed, countless blue and white porcelain, all over the bottom of the sea.

Judging from the traces, there should be quite a few buried in the sand.

But just judging from the exposed part of the porcelain, the utensils carried by this sunken ship are very colorful.

Of course, it can also be seen from this that most of the goods carried on board are ceramics.

Just looking casually, there are more than tens of thousands of porcelains on the bottom of the sea.

Most of these porcelains are blue-and-white porcelain, and some white-glazed, multi-colored, and green-brown glazed porcelains are also available.

Even in it, Chen Wenzhe saw some purple sand and so on.

Most of these porcelains are blue and white porcelain produced in Dehua in the 18th and early 19th centuries for export to the Asian market.

The types of porcelain are mainly blue and white plates, bowls, cups, saucers, jars, tureen and other daily-use porcelain.

For example, the blue-and-white folded branch pattern plate, the blue-and-white folded branch peony pattern plate, etc., are all standard export porcelain.

Among them, the multicolored porcelain should be more valuable.

Porcelain like this was also found on the Taixing ship and auctioned.

The water multicolored dish and the blue-brown glazed dish from the Taixing ship, and some of the Dehua blue and white porcelain salvaged that year, were all auctioned in Stuttgart, Germany.

Dehua, the hometown of these porcelains, also went to take back 72 pieces of ancient porcelain treasures.

However, most of the water-exposed porcelains are now scattered all over the world, and most of them are collected by private collectors, which are rarely collected in China.

For a long period of time, the overall appearance of the porcelain produced by the Taixing ship was not clear to us, and the research on it was insufficient.

Until November 2018, Panlu Group bought back 11 pieces of relics from the "Taixing" shipwreck from the Commonwealth Precious Metals Company.

These treasures, which have been buried under the sea for 200 years with the "Taixing", finally have the opportunity to set foot on their homeland.

In 2020, Panlu Group donated 100 pieces of porcelain from the shipwreck of the "Taixing" to the Huaxia Maritime Museum.

In the past, there were few porcelains from the "Taixing" shipwreck in China, and the research was not sufficient, so there were almost no exhibitions on the theme of the "Taixing" shipwreck.

The special exhibition of cultural relics from the shipwreck of the "Taixing" is based on the porcelain from the "Taixing" shipwreck collected by the Huaxia Maritime Museum, and is jointly organized by the Dehua Ceramics Museum and Panlu Group.

It is the first large-scale exhibition of cultural relics from the "Taixing" shipwreck in China, and it is also a rare original exhibition.

More than 400 pieces of porcelain from the "Taixing" shipwreck were exhibited in the exhibition, covering blue and white glazes, white glazes, multicolored glazes, and blue-brown glazes.

Including bowls, plates, saucers, cups, bowls, bottles, boxes, and sculptures, there are more than 10 types of utensils, which can basically show the overall appearance of the porcelain from the "Taixing" Dehua kiln.

In modern society, with the rise of the Internet, many things are exposed on the Internet, so we know what kind of porcelain was produced on the Taixing.

For example, the Dehua Kiln blue and white Ganoderma lucidum plate, the Dehua Kiln white-glazed figure portraits, etc., are among the best.

There is also a blue-and-white flower-pattern dish that comes out of the water, which is also a representative work.

Blue and white porcelain in the late Qing Dynasty was mainly made of daily necessities such as bowls, plates, saucers, cups, boxes, and spoons.

These porcelains are decorated with travertine, flowers, flower baskets, punctuation, figures, characters, landscapes, animals and other patterns, with sparse layout, regular shape and various decorations.

For example, the blue and white powder box in front of me has been unearthed in various kiln sites in Dehua.

From then on, it can also fully reflect the important position of Dehua kiln as a famous export kiln in ancient my country.

In the past, Chen Wenzhe knew that the export of Dehua Kiln was great, but he didn't have a clear understanding.

But now he knows that through the discovery of shipwrecks these few times, especially the porcelain produced from shipwrecks, he can definitely see the dominant position of Dehua Kiln in terms of export.

The discovery of all these reproduces the millennium development history of Dehua kiln, a famous export kiln.

It also allowed Dehua to confirm its status as one of the three ancient porcelain capitals in my country.
