From a large pile of plates, Chen Wenzhe selected some of the best preserved ones that were not contaminated by biological organisms, laid them out, and carefully observed the decorations on them.

This kind of Ming blue and white peony dish is all depicting flower and bird patterns.

This dish with peony patterns depicts very bright peonies, and you can still see its flowers surrounded by green leaves.

This kind of decoration is complex and full, but also has a sense of order, and even uses the painting method of leaving blank space.

The inner edge is painted with blue and white geometric flower patterns for a week, and the outer wall is painted with blue and white double-line string patterns for a week, and the string patterns are decorated with two corresponding leaf vein patterns.

The fetus is delicate and white in color.

Peony is the king of flowers and is also known as the flower of wealth, which means prosperity and represents people's wishes for a better life.

There are many fine porcelains like this, but there are only a few kinds of porcelain decorations.

Except for animal patterns and patterns, the rest must be bird patterns.

The bowls and dishes with flower and bird patterns coming out of the water are the most, such as Ming blue and white flower and bird pattern bowls with folded edges.

This porcelain bowl has a caliber of 21.2 and a height of 6.5cm.

Porcelain with patterns and bird patterns is available, and there is no shortage of porcelain with flower and bird patterns.

It looks like a Ming Dynasty blue and white lotus pond pattern of mandarin ducks, and the bottom of the plate is consecrated in the shape of an octagon.

A pond is painted inside the consecration, a bunch of blooming lotus flowers is painted on the right side, and a pair of mandarin ducks are painted on the left side with their abdomens attached to each other and looking at each other affectionately.

Mandarin ducks are a symbol of pure love and harmony between husband and wife, and are known as auspicious birds.

The combination of lotus and mandarin duck forms the pattern of mandarin ducks in the lotus pond, also known as Manchijiao.

It is realistic as a whole, exquisite in painting, smooth in lines, and beautiful in composition, implying happiness and peace, and is one of people's favorite decorations.

Both of the above have sharp lips, petal openings, shallow arc abdomen, bent waist, and ring feet.

Eight fan-shaped consecrations are painted on the folded waist and the inner wall, separated by long strips of consecrations painted with ribbon patterns in the middle.

The inside of the fan-shaped consecration is decorated with patterns of folded branches and flowers and dark eight immortals, and the outer wall of the plate is randomly drawn with six circles and long strips to set off the interior.

The blue and white hair color is blue and grayish, the carcass is light and thin, and the quality is firm and dense.

The dark Eight Immortals pattern is one of the common typical patterns in Clark porcelain.

The dark Eight Immortals decoration on porcelain means that only the eight immortals are painted on the magic utensils, but not the figures.

The eight immortals in Taoism have different magic tools.

Tieguai Li has iron sticks and gourds, Han Zhongli has plantain fans, Zhang Guolao has Yugu Jianzi, and Lancaihe has flower baskets.

He Xiangu has a lotus flower, Lu Dongbin has a sword, Han Xiangzi has a flute, and Uncle Cao has a jade plate.

The magical instruments they carry with them have their own magical functions.

The theme of this decoration implies the protection of gods and gods, and is full of Taoist colors.

These plates are very special, and the nature bowl is also good.

Bowls are porcelains produced from shipwrecks, second only to plates in quantity.

According to the shape of the mouth of the bowl, it can be divided into petal mouth bowls, square bowls and round mouth bowls. The diameter of the large bowl is about 23cm, and the small one is about 9cm.

The decorative patterns are very rich, including flowers and birds, figures, auspicious animals, group flowers, ganoderma lucidum, dragon patterns, phoenix patterns, eight immortals, butterfly patterns, etc.

For example, the Ming blue and white flower and bird pattern petals folded along the bowl, the bottom of this bowl is painted with blue and white flower and bird patterns, and the mouth and inner wall are painted with blue and white four dragons with auspicious clouds and auspicious heads.

The outer abdominal wall of the bowl is painted with blue and white four auspicious cloud-shaped Ruyi head openings and long strips of openings, and two curly grass and flower patterns are drawn along the outer mouth.

The blue and white hair color is blue, the carcass is light and firm, and the color is white.

Ruyi object is one of the eight treasures of Buddhism. It is a Buddhist tool for monks to record scriptures, and it is also used for decoration. It is a traditional mascot in my country.

And the auspicious cloud shape has the double good wishes of "auspiciousness" and "ruyi" at the same time.

In addition to the bowls and plates, the fourth type of porcelain that is more common is the army.

This type of porcelain is found on most sunken ships, and it is a very popular export porcelain.

I mentioned it several times before, but I haven't studied this thing carefully, after all, ordinary people don't know about it.

At this time, what was placed in front of Chen Wenzhe was a Ming blue and white elephant head with square feet.

It is 17cm long and 9.5 wide.

"Junchi" comes from Yinsan, which is a transliteration of Sanskrit "kendi" and "Knudika", and is also translated as Junchi, Junchi, Junchi, and 捃zhijia, etc.

In fact, this thing means water bottle in Chinese, also known as clean bottle and bath bottle.

The military holding in our country came along with Yinsan Buddhism. At the earliest time, when monks traveled, they stored water for drinking and cleaned their hands.

This kind of porcelain has a long neck, with a small opening at the top, and a flow between the shoulders and abdomen, without attachment.

The mouth on the long neck is used for drinking, and the stream on the shoulder and belly is used for drawing water.

When in use, hold the neck with your hands, immerse the bottle body in the water to cover the mouth of the shoulders and abdomen, and lift it out after the water is full, which is convenient and labor-saving.

With the development of Buddhism, the army has gradually evolved into a Buddhist instrument, which is used in various rituals or in the ordination ceremony of monks and nuns.

Of course, this thing eventually became a magic weapon held by Buddhist gods.

Such as Guanyin Bodhisattva, Maitreya Bodhisattva, Xianhu Bodhisattva, etc., generally hold such a bottle in their hands.

From the 4th century to the 8th century AD, Buddhism prevailed in countries such as Southeast Asia, and the demand for military equipment increased.

As a result, some kilns in our country that produce porcelain for export have produced wares one after another, making them exported to Southeast Asia and other European countries.

At the same time, Yin Si also used military weapons as water purification bottles.

Some people like it, some people use it, some people make it, and some people sell it.

There are a total of 20 pieces of military weapons found on the wreck of the "Wanli" that can be identified, and there are 2 pieces in the Guangdong Provincial Museum.

Animal-shaped military military weapons such as blue and white Xiangshou Fangzu military military weapons are rare among the military military weapons that come out of the water, and are more precious.

The blue-and-white elephant head of the Ming Dynasty is held by the army. Among the domestic salvaged porcelain, there seems to be only one collection.

This kind of porcelain has a round lip, a narrow mouth, a long neck with a convex upper end, a square belly, a flat bottom, and no glaze.

The whole is in the shape of an elephant, and one side of the shoulder is decorated with an elephant head with double fine holes.

The blue and white ears and eyebrows are painted on both sides of the elephant head, with a flat strip attached to it.

The edge of the mouth is painted with blue and white Ruyi cloud patterns for a week, and the long neck is decorated with banana leaf patterns.

The square belly is used as the body, and the back of the elephant is painted with blue and white brocade cushions.

Bells and Yingluo patterns are painted on the head and tail as decorations.

The blue and white hair color is blue and grayish, and the white glaze color is dark blue.

The carcass is thick, the shape is thick and special, and it has better ornamental value.

In fact, among the exported porcelains, apart from the best-selling military equipment because of faith, the most exported ones are gourd vases and bile vases.

The gourd bottle, as the name implies, is a bottle shape made of the gourd in nature.

Gourd bottles appeared as early as the New Era, and may have been a relatively important crop at that time.

In fact, if you think about it, if you don’t have ceramics, is it more convenient to carve a small bowl of wood to hold water, or to use a gourd that is naturally produced?

It is definitely more convenient to gourd, which is a natural water reservoir and naturally important.

This is like the appearance of the jade pig dragon. It must be because pigs are very important to the ancient immortals, so they slowly evolved into totems.

And gourds are definitely very important to human life.

Therefore, slowly, many meanings evolved.
