Because the Song Dynasty was an extremely pragmatic dynasty and pursued this realism, while the Tang Dynasty was a relatively retreat dynasty. The Tang dynasty paid attention to a kind of spiritual flying, and did not value very realistic things. Therefore, the works of art in the Tang Dynasty, such as "flying", are relatively empty and not so "real", because we all know that people can't fly, so the works of art in the Tang Dynasty are more conspicuous. In fact, the jade collection can also be said to have turned around. This has been the case in history and it is still the case now. For a time, it pursued white, but later it changed and began to pursue leather color. In the jade articles of the Song Dynasty, there is also a theme of jade people. Among Xiaoyu people, the image of "holding a lotus boy" is the most common. Holding a lotus is holding a lotus or a lotus leaf in your hand.
In the Song Dynasty, the trend of lotus and lotus leaf as playthings spread. It has been described in "Tokyo Dream Flower" that children will buy new lotus leaves and hold them in the first three to five days of Tanabata to show the difference. At the same time, there is also such a description in the story of the old Wulin. The child wears a lotus leaf with half an arm and holds it in his hand. Moholo is actually transliteration, meaning "Buddha", and the expression of the image is "Lotus Boy". In the Song Dynasty, people thought that Mohorot was the cleverest child in the world, smart and able to bring joy to people.
So on Tanabata, let the children dress up as this image and hope their children are smart. Holding lotus flowers and lotus leaves, some dressed as Mahalo, and hoping that children will be smart. Because the hand-held lotus flower is likened to "the precious son of the lotus nut", the pattern of the precious son of the lotus nut lasted from the Song Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty and then to the Qing Dynasty. In the Qing Dynasty, there were many patterns painted with "Lotus Peanut", and a lotus flower and a boy were called "Lotus Peanut".
What other special jade articles and stories were developed in the Yuan Dynasty? In fact, our appraisal of jade articles in Yuan Dynasty is rather vague. Except for some special and distinctive Yuan Dynasty cultural relics, others are either considered to belong to Song Dynasty or Ming Dynasty. What are our Qing jades? The most famous is Despising Mountains and Jade Seas produced by Zhiyuan in the second year. At that time, the Yuan Dynasty was not yet established, but it was established six years after it, namely 1265. We can see that the historical chronology of the Yuan Dynasty is 127 1, which is the first year of the Yuan Dynasty and the seventh year of the Yuan Dynasty. On Kublai Khan's stage, a huge jade urn weighing 3.5 tons was made of a super-large jade material. It was originally used as a container for wine.
At that time, the big jade Weng was put on the ground before the soldiers went out to war, and it was filled with wine. Everyone scooped up another bowl and went out after drinking it, which reflected the original momentum and people's spirit of Yuan Zaju. This big guy was first placed in Guanghan Hall in Qiongdao, Beihai, which is now Beijing Beihai Park in Yuan Dynasty. It is called Wanshou Mountain. In the seventh year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, Guanghan Temple collapsed, and this big jade Weng was scattered. Later, it was scattered in a Zhenwu Temple outside Xihuamen, Beijing. As a result, people use it to pickle pickles, because they really don't know what it is for.
After 100 years and ten years of Qianlong (1745), Qianlong discovered this thing. Qianlong said that such an important thing, why do you want to pickle pickles here? So I spent a lot of money to get it back, and then put it in the Chengguang Hall in Beihai, and specially built a jade urn pavilion. At that time, Qianlong wrote an imperial poem called Song of Jade Weng. Three poems, he wrote a preface, engraved in the jade Weng room. However, this "mundane mountain and jade sea" also has a pedestal, not moved together. It is estimated that someone was lazy at that time, which is also the reason why things are too heavy. So today, these two things are still not together. This pedestal has been placed in Fayuan Temple in Beijing, and there is a stone bowl in Qing Dynasty on the pedestal. You see, on the base of a jade urn in the Yuan Dynasty, there was actually a stone bowl in the Qing Dynasty, which was also very interesting. It's been more than 200 years since ten years of Qianlong (1745), and we haven't reunified them yet.
In the Ming Dynasty, jade articles that were originally beautiful and textured in history began to be called "thick and bright". Why did the second collection craze in the history of China appear in the late Ming Dynasty? How many priceless jade articles will there be in the tomb of Emperor Wanli in the late Ming Dynasty? Let's talk about the jade culture in Ming Dynasty.
