The Magic of Kneaded Clay:Ceramic Collection of the National Palace Museum 摶泥幻化 (英文版)




簡介

Ceramics is a sign of civilization. From collecting raw materials,
shaping forms, applying glazes to firing products in kilns, materials go
through many transformations and soft clay becomes durable ceramics.
The forms, glazes and decorative patterns of ceramics are diverse and
various because they were created under different cultural and social
conditions. Emperors, superintendents, potters and users of ceramics all
contributed to the formation of period styles. What is attractive about
ceramics is that it corresponds with the course of history. The network
development of kilns also reflects the phenomenon of cross-cultural
interactions.
Most ceramics at the National Palace Museum came from the
Qing imperial court and passed many places before moved to Taiwan.
Originally from the palaces in Beijing, Rehe and Shenyang, these ceramics
possess a clear registration number which could help trace the original
location at which each piece was once stored or displayed. It makes the
collection of the National Palace Museum unique and distinctly different
from other public and private museums. Even though the National Palace
Museum does not have many pre-Song dynasty ceramics, it boasts many
famous wares that are unparalleled any where in the world, including
renowned Song wares, doucai ware produced during the Chenghua reign,
painted enamel porcelain of the high-Qing period as well as official wares
of the Ming and Qing dynasties.
This guidebook illustrates the history of Chinese ceramics based on the
collection of the National Palace Museum. From the variations of glaze
colors, it is possible to see how glazes evolved gradually at different kilns
and how official models developed over time. The guidebook is divided
into four chapters: “From the Neolithic Age to the Five Dynasties”, “Song
and Yüan Dynasties”, “Ming Dynasty”, “Qing Dynasty”. “From the
Neolithic Age to the Five Dynasties” is a period of time when ceramics
evolved from its primitive beginning to a sophisticated stage. “Song
and Yüan Dynasties” wishes to explore the decorations and beauty of
various wares from different kilns from the perspective of the aesthetics
of everyday life. The theme of the “Ming Dynasty” chapter is to narrate
the establishment of the Jingdezhen imperial kiln. Porcelain production
became a state affair while local civilian kilns competed for market
share. At the “Qing Dynasty” chapter, it shows that three emperors,
Kangxi, Yongzhen, and Qianlong, personally took control of the imperial
kiln. The influences of official models reached its peak. While the state
declined, the style of folk art began to creep onto late Qing imperial wares.
Ceramics is a witness to human activities. Apart from allowing readers
to grasp an idea of how Chinese ceramics developed, it is also hoped
that the guidebook would generate interactions and feedbacks so that a
historical collection could inspire new ideas.
