This red-ground green-glazed vase with a twisted lotus-shaped cap has a very unique shape.

It perfectly fits Jianwen's characteristics, but it doesn't look like Hongwu and Yongle porcelain.

There are actually quite a few such porcelains, but their identities are difficult to ascertain.

However, as long as the inscriptions of Jianwen are left, and they are still ancient porcelains, then they are worth studying.

For example, a blue-ground green-glazed five-clawed dragon-pattern colored porcelain Tianqiu vase is very finely made.

Especially the finely carved green colored five-clawed dragon is magnificent.

This dragon pattern celestial ball bottle is 42 cm high, and the five-clawed official dragon is extremely vividly depicted.

The dragon head is like Emperor Jianwen who is gentle and weak, but the dragon claws are strong and powerful.

Buddhism and Taoism were prevalent in the society of the Ming Dynasty, and the rich religious flavor of the Wanzi cloud pattern is all over the body.

"Fushan Shouhai" on the bottom of the bottle belly is a common decoration in Ming Dynasty society to express the prosperity of the country and the people.

The engraving is even more delicate, and the white-glazed blue and white flowers are used on the shoulder of the bottle to drop the rectangular inscription "Daming Jianwen Year System".

This inscription is elegant and dignified in regular script.

In addition to the white glaze, which is as moist as white jade, the green material is naturally loose and deep. It is really hard to say that it is ordinary porcelain.

As for saying it is a fake, it is even more wrong, because this piece of porcelain is really too delicate.

Especially the sapphire-like blue glaze on the bottle body, warm and subtle, with rippling blue waves.

Such a glaze color is difficult to imitate even by modern masters.

Especially the temperament of this kind of porcelain is difficult to match with Hongwu and Yongle.

Not to mention anything else, it's just that the gentle and elegant green dragon complements the unique glaze color, which is very elegant.

And what kind of temperament are Hongwu and Yongle?Heroic and majestic?

On this point, Emperor Jianwen was obviously too weak.

Of course, as an emperor, his official kiln wares are not lacking in momentum.

For example, this piece of porcelain has a majestic shape and a full charm of the imperial palace.

Such porcelain must be a rare and powerful evidence for the study of the history and culture of Jianwen in the Ming Dynasty.

If its identity can be determined, it must be a rare Jianwen porcelain of the Ming Dynasty that is rare today.

These Jianwen official porcelains, inferred from the characteristics and materials of the vessels, are most likely to be the rewards of the Emperor Jianwen to the meritorious officials at that time.

And hid before the end of the "Battle of Jingnan", thus avoiding a catastrophe!

Today, hundreds of years later, we are fortunate to see it, and it is also a rare fate.

It's just a pity that the porcelain of this period is too difficult to identify.

Therefore, some porcelains that are highly recognized by insiders are not recognized by everyone due to various reasons.

This is the antique rivers and lakes. Where there are rivers and lakes, there will be competition for points, which is normal.

But in Chen Wenzhe's view, the brilliance of a truly good thing cannot be concealed.

Archeology lies in excavation, in obtaining evidence, and in finding clues left by the predecessors.

Where can I find it?Where can I find it?Looking for nature is looking for the real thing.

To study where the water and soil are, it is valuable to take field water and soil research.

When studying Jianwen porcelain, it is natural to find related porcelain.

If you don't study it, you don't know, but when you really study it, there are quite a lot of porcelain related to Emperor Jianwen, or maybe related to it.

For example, the piece of porcelain currently in Chen Wenzhe's hands must be a piece of blue and white porcelain from the early Ming Dynasty.

First of all, this is an antique, and it can be related to Jianwen or Zhu Yuanzhang, which is not easy.

Such an exquisite piece of porcelain, and it was a work of official kilns in the early Ming Dynasty, so any clues on it are very important.

This is a blue-and-white porcelain plate, and there is a poem on the plate: "If there is any, it is to teach three paths, and if there is any new frost, cut it away."

And there is a signature at the bottom, saying: "Changli".

If you study from the direction of archaeology, then archeology should be a hundred schools of thought contending and expressing their own opinions.

And on top of this porcelain, the porcelain of the early Ming Dynasty, plus poems,

Maybe there will be gains.

As long as you are willing to analyze this verse and the inscription, you can get something.

As for the verse: "Whether there is or not is to teach three paths, whether there is new frost and cut away", this should be the ancestral instruction of Emperor Hongwu Zhu Yuanzhang to the royal descendants.

Signed: "Changli", which should be the year name of Emperor Jianwen.

Why?Because in Chinese, Changli is a Chinese word, which means growing up and being self-reliant.

And what would it mean if it appeared on a piece of porcelain from the early Ming Dynasty?Isn't it just growing up and being self-reliant?

What is the meaning of the poem: "There are three ways to teach"?

Since the blue and white porcelain plate is dated to the early Ming Dynasty, combined with the actual situation in the early Ming Dynasty, some meanings can be analyzed and understood.

[A book chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend who has known me for ten years!It’s really easy to use. I use it to read and listen to books to pass the time while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here]

According to Liu Bowen's prophecy in the Hongwu Year of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang believed: "There is no wrong."

In the future, there will be or will not be. In the future, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, will rebel and usurp the throne.

He still passed on the throne to the third branch of the Zhu family, that is, Zhu Yunqi, the third grandson, as the grandson prince, the prince, and the future emperor.

The verse: "Whether the new frost has been cut away", this sentence should be the meaning of Zhu Yuanzhang's warning to his descendants not to kill each other.

[Whether there was new frost] That is, once, whether, because it is predicted that there will be new frost tomorrow.

That is to say, I heard that Zhu Di, the king of Yan, will rebel in the future.

To cut away means to cut off a branch of the tree.

That is to say, the Yan Wang Zhu Di, a collateral lineage of the same clan, was exterminated and disappeared from the Zhu family tree.

The overall meaning of the poem is: warn the descendants of the Zhu family, whether or not your uncle King Yan rebels in the future, you will pass on the position of emperor to Zhu Yunqi, who is a grandson of your grandson.

You are Zhu Yunqi, and you cannot eradicate your uncle King Yan from the Zhu clan because of the predicted events.

Therefore, according to the historical records of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Jianwen had many opportunities to kill Zhu Di, the king of Yan.

And it was released early, Xizong Zhu Gaochi who was a hostage in the capital.

All this made King Yan have no taboos in acting, and Lou Lou was able to escape after the rebellion happened, and this should have something to do with this ancestral precept.

The inscription: "Changli", after careful analysis, it should be the inscription of Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunwen.

Because the inscriptions of official kilns in the early Ming Dynasty were not clearly recorded, most of them were careless.

Therefore, [Changli] means to grow up to be a crown prince, crown prince, or emperor, and for the eldest grandson to be crown prince, crown prince, or emperor.

It is clearly pointed out that he is an authentic orthodox hereditary emperor.

From this side, it is implied that Zhu Di, the king of Yan, is the one who usurped the throne and is a traitor.

Emperor Yongle was the fourth son of Zhu Yuanzhang, and his throne was not inherited from the orthodox Zhu Yuanzhang.

Since the official kiln porcelain in the early Ming Dynasty did not have a clear inscription, the standard year name can only be conjectured based on the records of Ming history and the poems on the actual blue and white porcelain plates.

Of course, a poem can be interpreted in any way.

If it is not recognized, it can also be considered far-fetched.

However, combined with the firing time in the early Ming Dynasty and the official kiln status of the porcelain, it cannot be interpreted too presumptuously.

Royal things, how could it be random?
