Among them, the Northern Song Dynasty official porcelain is an art style that best reflects the cultural taste and intrinsicness of the Great Song Dynasty. Ceramics is the art of mud and fire and has a long history. Among the only handed down objects, the Northern Song Dynasty official porcelain, with its broad and profound cultural connotation and the aesthetic value of Shen Yun Tiancheng, has become a wonderful work in the treasure house of Chinese folk culture. This article talks about the Northern Song Dynasty Guan Kiln porcelain, one of the three treasures of Kaifeng.

After the development of Chinese and Tang dynasties, Chinese ceramics were famous as kiln-like flowers and flourishing flowers to the peak of the magnificent magnificence of the Song dynasty. The Song Dynasty Kiln Kiln was the first to push the kiln, the official kiln, the kiln, the kiln, and the kiln. Later generations called it the "five kiln of the Song Dynasty." The official kiln is famous for burning green glazed porcelain. Its styling is modeled on bronzes and jades of Shang, Zhou, Qin, and Han. The style is simple, dignified and elegant.

According to research, the Northern Song Dynasty Guan kiln is the royal imperial kiln that Song Huizong and Zhao Kuang were instructed. Although this dying country has no skill in running the country, it is a talented artist. Poetic paintings and paintings are omnipotent and have high aesthetic capabilities. Therefore, after the court of the Song dynasty decrepitly used the pipa, he again abandoned the dynasty officials, and had extremely high demands on the shape, color, enamel, and ornaments of the official porcelain.

According to historical records, in the Northern Song Dynasty between Xuanhe, Zhengzhou, and the Song Dynasty, Huizong cited the power of the country and gathered a large number of masters of porcelain art to push the celadon production art in China to its peak. Due to the extremely short-lived period of creation and production of the official Northern Song dynasty (1111 to 1125 AD), combined with sophisticated materials, the production was exceptionally fine, and the output was extremely small. It was mostly court furnishings and collections, and rarely flowed into the market and people's homes.

After the Northern Song Dynasty moved to the south in 1125 AD, the Northern Song Dynasty kiln had disappeared. After the “change of Jingkang”, the official kiln of the Southern Song Dynasty came into being. However, the shape, glaze color and texture of the porcelain produced were far less than those of the Northern Song Dynasty. According to historical records, in the occasion of the Jin Bing breaking the city, in order not to make his own blood crystals fall into the hands of the Golden Man, Song Huizong personally destroyed the furnace and destroyed the artifact. After this catastrophe, the Northern Song Dynasty official porcelain works, which can be passed down to the world, are almost complete. At present, the basic collections are in the Palace Museum in Beijing and the National Palace Museum in Taipei. There are also several collections of famous museums abroad. According to historical records, during the Ming and Qing dynasties, imperial kilns had copied the official wares of the Northern Song Dynasty, and it was better to copy them during the reign of Yongzheng Emperor Qianlong.

It is the most typical artistic feature of the official porcelain of the Northern Song Dynasty. It is known as the "Gongga Yin and Jin Dynasties, and the official kiln porcelain jade is mud". In order to obtain a glamorous glaze, craftsmen choose materials strictly and pay attention to craftsmanship. The changes in shades of color do not depend on simple addition of colorants, but are achieved by increasing the thickness of the glaze layer, not painting, rendering, or carving. , Not inlaid, not embedded, creating a celadon body color.

In the ancient city of Kaifeng, there was no shortage of leaders in the study and imitation of the Northern Song Dynasty official porcelain. Into their "porcelain world", exquisite craftsmanship, realistic modeling are all breathtaking. However, it seems that there is still a long way to go in order to truly promote the official porcelain culture, make it an industry and make it bigger and stronger, and make it another business card for Kaifeng.
