"Family Collection" continues to pay attention to the special program "Follow the Cultural Relics to See the Past and the Present". Today, I will take you to the Jiujiang De'an Museum to see a stacked plastic powder box from the Northern Song Dynasty.
At first glance, many people may not understand the purpose of this artifact, it is actually a tangled peony pattern stacked plastic powder box produced by the Hutian kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty, a kind of box specially used for the dressing of ancient dignitaries and ladies and ladies.
This compact is divided into three parts, which can be said to be a combination set, and in order to make the functional area more obvious, it is also distinguished by stacked flowers and figures. On the lotus leaf-shaped pedestal, it cleverly places small pots and symmetrical maid statues, making the overall appearance exquisite and neatly arranged. The lotus leaf part is used to place the rouge gouache, while the small jar is filled with water, which is often used for water during the makeup process.
What kind of person has ever used such a delicate fat cartridge? From the "Jingyou five years" written on the powder box, it can be judged that it was in the Northern Song Dynasty, and the tomb that unearthed this powder box was found to be the tomb of the local wealthy Liu family in Pengcheng, Jiujiang.
Li Jia, a librarian of the De'an County Museum, introduced that this plastic powder box from the Hutian kiln in the Northern Song Dynasty has important historical significance, because it carries accurate age information, which can reflect the level, technology and characteristics of porcelain production at that time, and provides strong empirical support for modern research on historical relics and handicrafts. It is worth noting that there are few similar types of stacked powder boxes in China, which highlights its preciousness.
