广州东朝寻宝：青花白菜盘，寓意百财

深秋初冬之际,正是收获白菜、食用白菜的好时节。白菜作为蔬菜之一,在人们的日常生活中占有极其重要的地位。在我国古代,把白菜当作评判一方官吏政绩的重要标准,那就是“官不可无此味,民无可有此色”。在古玩上,经常会出现的“大白菜”,以示人们对其之喜爱。

Late autumn and early winter is a good time to harvest and eat cabbage. As one of the vegetables, cabbage plays an extremely important role in people's daily life. In ancient China, cabbage was regarded as an important standard to judge the achievements of one party's officials, that is, "the officials must have this taste, and the people must have this color.". In antiques, "Chinese cabbage" often appears to show people's love for it.

瓷器是中国古代的伟大创造,青花瓷之美,更是让世人叹为观止。青花瓷是用含氧化钴的钴矿为原料,在陶瓷坯体上描绘纹饰,加上一层透明釉,高温还原焰一次烧成。若将白菜绘制于青花瓷上,该是怎样的呢?李先生带来的一组青花白菜盘完美的诠释了这一效果。

Porcelain is a great creation of ancient China. The beauty of blue and white porcelain is even more amazing to the world. Blue and white porcelain is made of cobalt oxide containing cobalt ore, which is painted on the ceramic body, with a layer of transparent glaze, and fired in a high temperature reduction flame. If cabbage was painted on blue and white porcelain, what would it be like? Mr. Li brought a group of blue and white cabbage dishes to perfectly explain this effect.

小碟:口径:12.5cm 高:2.5cm 底径:7.5cm*3

古代,“白菜”和“百财”同音,借喻家财万贯,故与牡丹纹、石榴纹、海棠花纹等植物纹饰一样都是吉祥纹饰,具有吉祥的寓意。且“菜”通“才”,因此白菜还有多才之意。此外,白菜的颜色清白相间,寓意清清白白、清正廉明。因此,白菜纹多被古人用于象征人格、品德等。

In ancient times, "cabbage" and "Baicai" have the same sound, which is a metaphor for the wealth of a family. Therefore, they are auspicious patterns like peony patterns, pomegranate patterns, Begonia patterns and other plant patterns, which have auspicious meanings. And "dish" is all about "talent", so cabbage also means versatile. In addition, the color of cabbage is pure and white, which means clear and honest. Therefore, Chinese cabbage patterns were mostly used by the ancients to symbolize personality and morality.

白菜图案的青花盘存世不多,寓意百财聚来。此器不论从整体造型、施釉、纹饰画法、青花发色无不经典、典雅,实乃青花器的典型之作,具有收藏研究价值。

There are not many blue and white plates with cabbage patterns, which means that all the money will come together. No matter from the overall shape, glaze, pattern painting, blue and white hair color, it is classic and elegant, but it is a typical work of blue and white ware, which has the value of collection and research.
