Ma Weidu has a Liao Dynasty crystal bowl, the shape of modern is like crossing, the specific value has not been shown
What do you think of when you think of crystals? Presumably, most people will combine it with modern glassware. If you go to the museum and see a crystal vessel, you don't write which dynasty and which generation have any artistic value, you really treat it as glass. It's also easy to understand that ancient crystal vessels are too easy to feel like crossing. Ma Weidu has a Liao Dynasty crystal bowl, which is modern and like a crossing.
Before introducing ma Weidu's Liao Dynasty crystal bowl, let's popularize the knowledge about crystal. The appearance of crystal cups in ancient times is not a particularly unusual thing. The Hangzhou Museum houses a Warring States Crystal Cup, a cup made of whole pieces of high-quality natural crystal, and one of the larger of the early crystal products unearthed in China. Mr. Su Bingqi, a titan in the field of archaeology, praised: "National treasure! An absolute national treasure! "Because of its unique historical and cultural value, the Warring States Crystal Cup has been listed as a national first-class cultural relic, and it is also the first batch of national treasure-level cultural relics that are prohibited from being exhibited abroad."
The Liao Dynasty crystal bowl hidden by Ma Weidu, although not as famous as the Warring States Crystal Cup, can be shaped like a crossing in modern times, which is breathtaking. The crystal bowl shown in the picture below, does it look familiar? It's really like the glass bowl we use in our daily life, and you can't imagine that this is the crystal bowl of the Liao Dynasty. According to Ma Weidu's introduction, this Liao Dynasty crystal bowl is of crystal texture and shaped with a four-petal flower mouth style.
Crystals belonged to the category of jade in ancient times, and the hardness was above Hetian jade, which was more difficult to process and shape. Crystal was a valuable material in ancient times, and the groups that could be used were also rich or expensive. "Subliminal Book" Cloud: "Water Essence, Millennium Ice Also" The ancients' understanding of crystals was always cloaked in a layer of mystery. It can be seen that it is not unreasonable that crystal can become one of the representative materials in ancient jade.
In addition, the lack of modern mechanical processing technology in ancient times, all by hand to polish, you can imagine how difficult it is for craftsmen to polish out the four-petal shape. From the crack that loomed above, and the soil in the crack, I didn't know what kind of ninety-nine-eighty-one difficulties this crystal bowl had experienced. Ma Weidu further pointed out that this bowl not only grinds the bowl body into a four-petal shape, but also makes a very difficult circle foot at the bottom foot. It can be seen that the level of jade production in the Liao Dynasty also represents the technical level at that time.
Taking a step back, the four-petal flower mouth style is mostly found in the Central Plains, which also shows that when the Liao State conquered the Northern Song Dynasty, it was also integrated into Chinese culture, reflecting the openness and tolerance of the nomadic regime. In short, while absorbing the culture of the Central Plains, the Liao was gradually assimilated. What makes people feel very emotional is that the late Liao Dynasty was extremely corrupt and luxurious, and pursued a graceful and luxurious. After the rise of the Jin Dynasty, the Liao State soon perished. From a simple crystal bowl, you can also see the rise and fall of a dynasty.
Regarding the specific value of the Liao Dynasty crystal bowl, Ma Weidu has not shown it. Not to mention the value of the value, not even the source of the road is clear. This is not like Ma Weidu's other collections, who can always tell a few stories of highly storied secret history. However, what is certain is that since Ma Weidu said that it was a crystal bowl of the Liao Dynasty, he must also have his reason. Interlaced like a mountain, the layman looks like an open glass bowl, which seems to have no value. There is a specialization in the art, or do not use the eyes of the layman to question the level of the insider at will.
