Qing Dynasty Dragon BallIn the Qing Dynasty, dragon balls had many forms and different meanings:
- ** Coins **: On the Qing Dynasty silver coins of the third year of Xuantong, the dragon ball with the dragon pattern had certain characteristics. The dragon ball with the dragon pattern in the Qing Dynasty would not be too far from the mouth. For example, the silver coins of the Qu Xulong version were more popular in the coin collection market. The dragon behind it was fiercer. Different versions of the Qu Xulong silver coins had different collection values. Even the ordinary version had a higher collection threshold if it was in good condition.
- In terms of funerary objects, dragon balls were not ordinary objects in ancient times. In the Qing Dynasty, only noble families could have them. There were even cases where the tomb owner put dragon balls into the coffin as funerary objects.
- ** Tea category **: Pu-er tea ball tea originated in the Qing Dynasty. Pu-er tea dragon pearl is strictly classified as ball tea. Small spherical Pu-er tea can also be called Dan, Wan, Zhu, etc.
- ** Beadwork **: There are old turquoise dragon beads from the Qing Dynasty, holding 18 beads and other beadwork for collection and wholesale.
- ** Bronze circle **: The dragon pictures were commonly seen in the bronze circles of the Qing Dynasty. Different types of dragon pictures, such as clear dragon, sitting dragon, water dragon, chicken claw dragon, flying dragon, etc., were divided into several versions according to the tail hair, dragon claw, the shape of the flame bead, the number of flames, the presence of bead rings, and other factors. Among them, the characteristics of the flame bead (dragon bead) were one of the basis for the classification of the version.
Porcelains with dragon patterns in the Song DynastyThe Song Dynasty dragon pattern porcelain had the following characteristics:
- ** The shape and characteristics of the dragon pattern **: The Song Dynasty dragon pattern has a strong three-dimensional sense, and the details of the dragon can be better expressed, but the two edges are thicker than before. The dragon legs are very long (especially the hind legs) and the degree of bending is large, but it looks weak. The joints of the dragon legs often have hook-shaped leg hair, and some are floating. There are short Yin lines on the lower legs to indicate the hair on the legs. There are usually three or four claws. At the end of the tail, there are a few flame-like decorations.
- ** Craftsmanship **: Before the Song Dynasty, due to the immature painting technology, the dragon pattern porcelain of the Song Dynasty basically did not have painted dragon patterns. They were all imprinted or carved.
- Ding Kiln was one of the famous porcelain kilns in the Song Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, Ding Kiln mostly produced white porcelain, but there were also black glaze, sauce glaze, green glaze, white ground brown flower and other varieties. Ding kiln white porcelain body soil is delicate, body quality is thin and bright, glaze color is pure white moist, there are tears, glaze is white glass glaze. The white glaze often showed a more obvious bluish-white color (different from the white glaze of the Ding kiln in the Tang Dynasty), and the thick "tear stains" produced during the glaze process were obviously yellowish. Whether it was burning or over-burning, the "tear stains" flowed from top to bottom. These were important characteristics that needed to be carefully observed to identify Ding kiln porcelain. In the Ding kiln porcelain of the Song Dynasty, varieties such as sauce glaze, brown glaze, black glaze, green glaze, etc. accounted for a small proportion. Complete handed down products were rare and had high collection value. These color glaze varieties were all white, which was an important symbol of difference from other kiln entrances. For example, the Dingyao printed dragon pattern wash, its body soil is delicate, the body is thin and shiny, the glaze is pure white and moist, there are tears on it, now collected in the China ceramic museum.
