My system is not decent

Chen Wenzhe really didn't expect that he could still discover the formula of Neon Hexiang through some Xianghe fragments.

Playing incense is not the patent of the ancients. For example, the Wenxiang club in his school is a group of vassals and elegant people.

And there are many people like this in China.

The Wenxiang club formed by a group of students must be a small fight.

When you get into the society, if you make a fortune, then you can enjoy the fragrance, and it will be more high-end.

Therefore, from ancient times to the present, there has been a big market for incense.

This makes Xianghe, which carries Hexiang, become important.

The more he learned, the more Chen Wenzhe understood that compared with the ancients, modern people's games are really not high-end, and it can be said that the ancients were better at playing.

It is said that Xianghe is a kind of utensil loaded with incense, but with the different historical periods, the ones that develop and grow are more prosperous.

The utensils used to hold Hexiang in the first place were larger than the neon Xianghe in the general sense.

For example, in the "Guigong" volume of "Ujinho Monogatari", the gifts for the nobles to officially enter the palace include "the incense box, and put the Tang Dynasty incense in the silver box".

"The Tale of Genji" "Plum Branches" volume, there is a paragraph mentioned.

"The enclose is an agarwood box, which contains two glazed bowls, one is navy blue and the other is white, both of which contain large grains of incense pills. The decoration on the lid of the navy blue glazed bowl is five There are leaves and pine branches, and white plum blossoms on the lid of the white glass bowl."

Whether it is a silver box or a blue-and-white glazed bowl, they are extremely luxurious, especially the imported colored glaze, which only the nobles can enjoy.

There are incense pills or incense wood chips in the incense box. The incense balls made of incense are placed in the porcelain incense box, and the incense wood chips are placed in the lacquer incense box.

Pay attention here, everyone knows that ancient porcelain is precious, but few people pay attention to it. In fact, it is often wood that is really powerful.

It's not that porcelain is inferior to wood, but there are many works, and porcelain is not as precious as wood.

For example, Xianghe, because the woody Xianghe used to store Hexiang is generally made with the best craftsmanship.

For example, pick red is used, which is a kind of lacquer withering process.

Not to mention the redness, it has become the quintessence of the country.

Let’s talk about withered lacquer, which is a kind of lacquer craft. There are many classifications, such as red picking, black picking, and rhinoceros picking.

The body of the vessel is painted layer by layer with toned lacquer, which is accumulated thick enough, and then patterns are carved on it with a knife. The lacquer color is vermilion, which means picking red;

If the paint color is black, it is black;

The vermilion lacquer and black lacquer are painted alternately, and the texture of vermilion and black is exposed through withering, which is the ticking rhinoceros.

Withered lacquer in the Song Dynasty was a peak, and Song Tixianghe was especially admired by the Ming people.

According to "Kaopan Yushi" written by Tu Long of the Ming Dynasty, Song Tixianghe is the crown of Xianghe.

Yasuhiro Nishioka, an expert in the study of neon lacquerware, announced 52 withered lacquer works identified as Song Dynasty at the special exhibition "Oriental Lacquer Craftsmanship" held by the Tokyo National Museum in Showa 1977 (16).

After that, I investigated the relics of Song Dynasty lacquer scattered around the world, and found that there are more Song Dynasty lacquer works in other places than Neon.

As far as the Song Dynasty lacquer collections in Japan are concerned, there are Tokyo University of the Arts Art Museum and Osaka Fujita Art Museum.

"Heaven Comes"

Some of the famous Xianghe are collected in many neon museums.

For example, the rhinoceros skin incense collection in the Tokugawa Art Museum in Aichi, the red incense collection with flower and bird patterns in the Enkakuji Temple in Kanagawa, and the black dragon pattern collection in the Tokyo National Museum.

Therefore, it is not without benefits that Nihong people are studious and envious of Chinese culture. At least they have accumulated a lot of wealth.

From the works of Clay Figurine Zhang, we can see some of them before.

Just because they worship Chinese culture and like the representative works of Chinese civilization, they keep buying all kinds of handicrafts with unique characteristics of the times.

Clay figurine Zhang is one kind, and porcelain from various eras is also included. Other Tang Qins, Tang knives, Ming and Qing tea bowls, teapots, etc. are all representative.

The famous Tianmu Yao variable lamp is collected in Neon for this reason.

Other well-known ones include Li Bai's authentic works and so on.

Now there is another kind, that is Xianghe.

In addition to what I just said, there is actually another kind of famous xianghe, which is Makie xianghe.

Makie is also one of the lacquer craft techniques, which originated in the neon Nara era.

This technique is to add gold and silver flakes into the paint liquid, and do "polishing treatment" after drying to show the gold and silver color.

It is thick enough to inlay flowers, birds, grass insects or auspicious patterns with mother-of-pearl and silver thread, which can be said to be extremely luxurious.

Matsuda Gonroku, a neon lacquer artist, based on the imperial object "Tang Dao in Gold and Silver Tin" in the Neon Shosoin Institute, believes that Maki-e originated from Neon, and it is a unique lacquer technique created by Neon. Of course, this view is disputed.

But Makie incense is indeed a unique type of incense in neon culture.

In addition to withered lacquer and maki e incense, there is also a kind of "cochin porcelain incense", which is Jiaozhi incense.

Before the 90s, many documents have recorded this kind of thing: the shape is like Xiangsheng and Xianghe.

交趾香合的体积通常较小，一般高约5厘米，直径在3至4厘米到7至8厘米之间。

Usually porcelain is molded into various animals, such as Chinese zodiac signs, turtles, cranes, ducks, and frogs.

Or peonies, chrysanthemums, bamboo knots, pine cones, pumpkins, etc.

The glaze colors of these porcelains are mainly blue, green, yellow and purple.

Jiaozhi Xianghe, popular in tea ceremony, probably began in the Nihong Xiangbao period.

At the end of the Edo period, the tea ceremony circle imitated the sumo sequence that was popular at that time, and produced a sequence table of "Xingwuxianghe Sumo", which was used to grade the sumo, and it is still in use today.

In 1997, the archaeological team of Hu Jian Province excavated the ancient kiln site in Pinghe and unearthed a large number of kiln furniture, finished and semi-finished porcelain specimens.

Finally, after cleaning, it was found that these porcelains were almost all small porcelain boxes with a diameter of 2.3 cm to 5.6 cm, with different shapes.

The lid and body of the box are mostly engraved or molded with various animal and plant patterns.

Generally, yellow, green, and purple glazes are applied. Judging from this glaze color, these porcelains should belong to the "plain three-color" of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Su Sancai, the name of porcelain glaze, is fired with three colors of green, yellow and eggplant purple on the unglazed plain body.

It began in the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty and continued to be fired during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty.

There is another definition of "plain three-color porcelain" in the ceramic industry, that is, "plain three-color porcelain is one of the varieties of overglaze porcelain.

Porcelain is mainly yellow, green, and purple, but it is not limited to these three colors, but red is not used.

Its production method is to fill the engraved patterns with colored glaze on the bisque body fired at high temperature, and then fire at low temperature.

The "Su" in "Su Sancai" can be attributed to two meanings.

One is that the device is fired with "plain tires", also known as "plain burnt tires".

"Plain tires" are ceramic green bodies, without pre-fired tires before glazing.

It can not only enhance the mechanical strength of the body, so that it is not easy to be damaged during handling, but also prevent cracks due to wetting the body when applying colored glaze.

For the above reasons, this process is often used in ceramic production.

The other is that in ancient times, there was a saying that "red is meat color, and non-red is plain color". The color glaze used in this vessel is mainly "plain color", hence the name.
