My system is not decent

The size of Jun Kiln is also very famous.

"(Orchid) pots must be found in Longquan, Junzhou, Neifu, and those who offer spring are extremely large. Do not use vases, corbels and other vulgar systems."

"Bronze Hanfang vases, Longquan and Junzhou vases are two or three feet tall, and the ancient plums are most suitable."

The huge size of Jun porcelain is also a feature that is difficult to replace.

Historian Tan Qian once recorded an interesting story: One spring, a man from Jiangyin brought a Jun porcelain vase several feet high to sell, and asked for ten gold (one gold was one tael of silver), and was laughed at.

Unexpectedly, the peonies in Da Nei were in full bloom, and Emperor Jiajing was eager to find a suitable vase, so the eunuch found this vase, and Emperor Jiajing was very satisfied.

Jiangyin people seized the opportunity and raised the price to [-] gold.

The emperor instructed the eunuch to counteroffer one hundred gold first, and if the other party refused, add another fifty.It's a deal.

The expansion of the influence of Jun porcelain is closely related to the prosperous porcelain industry in Junzhou in Ming Dynasty.

As early as the 20th year of Hongwu (1387 A.D.), Cheng Benli wrote in a poem: "Bianqiao willows in the spring breeze, wine in Junzhou urns."

Junzhou ceramics in this period have become a symbol of Zhongzhou's customs.

"Ming Hui Dian" records that in the 11th year of Hongzhi (1498 AD), "five thousand magnetic guns were fired by the officials of Jun and Ci prefectures in Henan".

"Junzhou makes 280 bottles, altars, and vats every year."

Junzhou, Cizhou, and Quyang, as important places in the porcelain industry, were responsible for the production of porcelain for daily use and military use by the imperial court.

Due to the large amount, there have been arrears over the years, and the imperial court had to exempt them.

During the Jiajing period, Xie Cunru, the governor of Nanhe, requested that the expropriated amount of Junzhou ceramics be converted into tax money. The people of Junzhou were very grateful and erected a monument to commemorate it.

The current high school history textbook states: "There were five famous kilns in the Song Dynasty, namely Ding Kiln, Ru Kiln, Ge Kiln, Guan Kiln and Jun Kiln... Jun Kiln was located in Yuzhou, Henan. It is called 'Jun Hong'; some of them are made of sky blue or moon white and purple red, which are unique and beautiful, and they are called 'Jun Zi'."

The term "five famous kilns" in the Song Dynasty has also gone through a long process.

In the third year of Xuande in the Ming Dynasty (1428 A.D.), the emperor said that the ritual utensils displayed in the Jiaotan Taimiao and the inner court were "vulgar in style and very old-fashioned."

It is required to select ancient books such as "Xuanhe Bogu Tulu" and the styles of Chai, Ru, Guan, Ge, Jun (Jun), and Ding kiln vessels collected in the inner library for imitation.

Although the Jun kiln wares were not included in the selection, they can be compared with the famous kilns of Chai, Ru, Guan, Ge and Ding.

During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, Gao Shiqi designated a Jun porcelain vase found in a monk temple as the imperial collection of the Song Dynasty in "Song of Song Jun Kiln Vase in Reward Canglin".

"It's strange that Junzhou was built in the old days, and after several wars, it still looks like Gestalt. Cang Gong came out of the inner palace for his words, leaving the dust of chaos and abandonment."

Emperor Qianlong preferred Jun porcelain, thinking it was a kind of Song kiln.

On the Jun porcelain in the inner palace, he carved poems many times to commemorate it.

"Every kiln in Jun kiln has Xiu Neisi, so far it is hard to make too many bowls."

"The inkstone made by Zhao Songjun kiln, the surface is flat and the glaze is removed, and there is a pool."

"Yue ware was once rare, but Song kilns are now inscribed."

Therefore, the Qing palace collection is regarded as a typical example of "Northern Song Dynasty Guanjun".

By the end of the Qing Dynasty, Song Jun's status was unshakable.

Collector Chen Liu said: "The ancient kilns that exist in the present world are called Jun, Ru, Ding, Guan, Brother, and Longquan in Song Dynasty..."

Jun porcelain ranks first among the famous porcelains of the Song Dynasty.

"The average height is about two inches, the width is no more than three inches, and the length is no more than five inches. The horse's legs make it easy to carry a box. It is also very valuable to be quiet and clear."

In the 20th year of Guangxu (AD 1894), to celebrate the [-]th birthday of Empress Dowager Cixi, Cui Tinggui, the commander-in-chief of Henan Nanyang Town, ordered Jun porcelain Jiuding in Shenhou, and Huang Jing, the magistrate of Yuzhou, came to supervise the implementation.

In Shenhou, he saw such a scene: people searched for pieces of Jun porcelain in the ruins of the ancient kiln after the rain, "getting a piece of tile competes for dignity".

Since the 20s, archaeologists have excavated the ancient kiln sites around Juntai and Baguadong in Yuzhou City, and determined that this is the place where "Guanjun" was produced, and it was fired during the reign of Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty.

Taking the end of the Northern Song Dynasty as the prosperous period of Jun porcelain, the argument that "Jun porcelain began in Tang Dynasty and flourished in Song Dynasty" was derived.

The industry even launched such a slogan: "Jun Porcelain is a treasure for the imperial use, sealed as 'Shen Jun Bao Porcelain', 36 pieces are ordered to be produced every year, and the rest are smashed and buried deep, and private collection is prohibited."

However, the statement of "Song Guanjun" has been facing doubts.

The excavation of Juntai Kiln has various deficiencies in method and logic;

In the vast literature of the Song Dynasty, there is no single word about Jun porcelain;

Even the name "Jun Kiln" is obviously impossible to be born in the Northern Song Dynasty.

At that time, Junzhou had not yet appeared, and Yangdi was nicknamed "Hancheng". Until the Jin Dynasty poems, Fang used Juntai to refer to Junzhou.

In other words, if the Jun kiln was famous all over the world as early as the Song Dynasty, why did the scholars of the Jin, Yuan and Ming dynasties ignore it?

The history of my country's ancient ceramics has always been full of fog, and the Jun kiln is the most mysterious kiln mouth or kiln system in the field of ancient ceramics research in my country.

For example, when and where was the Jun Kiln created?When was Jun Kiln named?

Furthermore, what is Jun porcelain or how to accurately define Jun porcelain?

Juntai Kiln, where all kinds of flowerpots and halberd statues were handed down to display Jun wares, or the Bagua Cave Kiln, was it a folk kiln, an official kiln, a tribute kiln or even an imperial kiln?

When did the so-called Guan Jun start burning and when did it stop burning?

In the Ming Dynasty, Yuzhou Shenhou Jun Porcelain, did it stop burning or continue in the area of ​​origin?

These Jun kiln history concepts are entangled with historical facts, showing the special challenges of Jun kiln history research.

But let's jump out of these entanglements and stick to the facts that are available for the time being.

What is certain is that before and after the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, porcelain with the characteristics of contemporary Jun porcelain appeared and was widely imitated in the Yuzhou area.

It has a natural relationship with Ru kiln celadon, and has won the attention of the world with its magnificent glaze color.

Just as Fang Yizhi, a man of the Ming Dynasty, said: "Junzhou has five colors, that is, the Ru kiln type, and the kiln changes from time to time."

Perhaps, for a long period of time, this kind of kiln porcelain has not been named independently.

In the Southern Song Dynasty, Zen Master Liaohui gave a lecture: "It is better not to rest the blame if you know the opportunity, to lead before you speak, and to get it before you give a prophet. If you step through the abbot's gate early in the morning, you will see that the porcelain incense burner looks similar. You will know it is Beiqing Kiln Transformation at first sight. How much it's worth is a matter of words."

Isn't the Jun porcelain referred to by later generations the "Northern Qingyao Transformation"?

There are three kinds of kiln transformers, the second is the workmanship of heaven, and the other is the ingenuity of man.

It is made of heavenly craftsmen, transformed by fire, and naturally formed.

The strange kiln changes in the production of porcelain have existed in the past dynasties.

Junzhou people have explored and mastered the law of kiln transformation, and have done it recklessly, creating a colorful new environment for Jun porcelain.

This kind of new porcelain inherits the pinnacle of Song Dynasty ceramic technology, kneaded in mud and water, and nirvana in wind and fire, showing a new and strong vitality.

In the Qing Dynasty, Tang Ying supervised the JDZ kiln affairs, imitating the ancients and adopting the present, and gathering the world's great achievements.

Of the 57 glaze colors he obtained, more than ten directly came from Jun porcelain.

Rose purple, crabapple red, eggplant purple, plum green, mule liver, horse lung...

These common names have become unchangeable classics.
