The Cizhou kiln of the Jin and Yuan dynasties has a common white ground and black flower dragon and phoenix pattern jar. Generally between 25 and 50 centimeters in height, it is almost always considered to be a wine jar for wine storage, similar to the use of a four-series bottle. Judging from the dragon and phoenix pattern jar that currently exists, whether it is handed down or excavated by archaeology, the general feature is that the carcass is rough, the vessel is thick, and there is also a black brown glaze in the outer white glaze, and the surface of the carcass is generally covered with makeup soil, and the dragon and phoenix are painted with black color and black brown in a single layer or double light, and there are also a small number of no light, and the dragon is painted in the abdomen, and the dragon and phoenix dance theme.
The phoenix is the sublimation of birds, which is composed of a variety of birds (including mammals and fish), and is a symbol of the southern bird culture from struggle to convergence; The dragon is the sublimation of the beast, which is composed of a variety of beasts (including birds and fish), and is a symbol of the northern beast culture from struggle to convergence. The combination of dragon and phoenix culture once again proves the process of our Chinese nation moving from pluralism to unity.
Experts believe that the appearance of the dragon and phoenix pattern jar of Cizhou kiln and the dragon and phoenix pattern four series bottles and dragon and phoenix pattern four series flat bottles of the same theme in the Jin and Yuan dynasties are not only the intentional guidance of the official, but also the aesthetics advocated by the people and the fit of the demand for mass goods. At the beginning of the 13th century, this kind of dragon and phoenix pattern on a white ground and black flower dragon and phoenix pattern began to appear in Cizhou kiln, and it is also a typical decoration on the flat bottle with black flower dragon and phoenix pattern on a white ground and a four-series bottle. The dragon and phoenix mold shape that followed was widely used in porcelain. Yuan Dynasty Jingdezhen blue and white phoenix head pot, dragon and phoenix.
The flat bottle is the inheritance and continuation of this decorative style.
I wish the "children" who see this: the hidden dragon soars into the abyss, and the scales and claws fly!
