Chapter 1914 The 7000-year-old Vermilion Lacquer Wooden Bowl

Obviously, the lacquerware wooden stick that Chen Wenzhe discovered now should have been made by nobles in the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Because whether it is lacquerware or horse lance, it is not something that ordinary people can own.

Therefore, even if this item is not a court item bestowed on Lord Rouran, its value is still very high.

Suddenly found a treasure, although it does not look beautiful, but the historical value is not low.

When encountering something he likes, Chen Wenzhe naturally buys it without hesitation.

As for those root carvings and petrified wood, they were already in their pockets, but Chen Wenzhe didn't think much of them.

At this time, Chen Wenzhe discovered that in addition to petrified wood being a top-quality material, lacquer seemed to be a top-quality material as well.

Good wood carving, combined with lacquer, can definitely make this perishable art glow with brilliance.

It was also at this time that Chen Wenzhe realized that the collection of lacquerware seems to be a huge category, and there are quite a few people who like this kind of collection.

Since someone likes it, it becomes easy for him to collect lacquerware.

How slow is it to collect one by one?For someone like Chen Wenzhe, it is natural to pay for it.

So, next, someone provided him with detailed information, letting him know where he could buy a large amount of lacquerware at one time.

Of course, many of these lacquerware must be high-quality goods, because they are too inferior, or are modern imitations, and they will never reach Chen Wenzhe.

Lacquerware production has a long history and has achieved brilliant artistic achievements.

And this also means that there must be a lot of lacquerware handed down to later generations.

After all, it is lacquerware, so it is easy to preserve.

As long as you don't deliberately put it in a place with a bad environment, or flood it with fire, there is no big problem with the preservation of lacquerware.

It can be said that lacquerware with strong Chinese cultural characteristics is a wonderful flower of the Chinese Art Garden.

For example, Chen Wenzhe was very surprised when he saw a wooden bowl.

He likes lacquerware, and naturally someone would like him, so he sent a lacquerware bowl.

Chen Wenzhe saw that this bowl was really not simple, and it had a longer history than the previous Ma Chan long handle.

As I said before, ancient ancestors have a long history of using natural lacquer.

Archaeological data show that in 1977, a red lacquered wooden bowl was unearthed at the Hemudu site in Yuyao, Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

This wooden bowl is the earliest lacquerware in existence and has a history of more than 7000 years.

And the one that Chen Wenzhe is seeing now should have a history no shorter than that one.

7000-year-old woodenware, if there is no large-scale smearing, how can it be passed down to the present?

This is where the value of lacquerware lies, because natural lacquer forms a tough paint film on the surface of the carcass, which is not only moisture-resistant, anti-corrosion, durable, but also can be decorated with exquisite patterns, so it is very popular.

The base quality of lacquerware is mainly wood, but also bamboo, rattan, leather, paper, folder, metal, ceramics and so on.

Lacquer ware is known for its "a thousand knives and one lacquer lacquer" process. The production process is cumbersome and difficult to preserve, so it is precious.

But no matter how precious it is, because our country has a large land area and has been handed down for a long time, there are definitely not many works that have survived until now.

So with a wooden bowl, Chen Wenzhe saw a series of top-quality lacquerware.

Of course, the price of these lacquerware is definitely not cheap. They bring so many good things, don't they just want to sell them at a good price?
my country's lacquerware production has a long history, and 15000 years ago, lacquerware was used in our country.

The earliest extant lacquerware is the aforementioned red lacquer bowl unearthed from the Hemudu site in Yuyao, which has a history of more than 7000 years.

my country's ancient lacquerware technology is a process of continuous development and improvement.

The manufacture of lacquerware in the Neolithic Age was in the exploratory stage, mainly making daily necessities.

The lacquer colors are mainly red and black, and the lacquer crafts are only painted and inlaid.

In the Huangpi Panlong City ruins in the mid-Shang Dynasty, traces of wooden coffin boards carved on one side and painted on the other side were found.

Among the fragments of lacquerware unearthed at the Taixi site in Beihexiang City, some are carved, painted and inlaid with turquoise.

Among the lacquer-painted and carved woodware found in the tombs of the Shang Dynasty in Houjiazhuang, Anyang, there are also inlays of clam shells, clam bubbles, and jade.

It can be seen that the lacquer technology of the Shang Dynasty has reached a very high level.

The Warring States period was the first prosperous period of lacquerware craft in my country.

The variety and quantity of utensils have greatly increased, and innovations have been made in fetal bone methods, shapes and decoration techniques.

The color tone of lacquer is mainly red and black, and its characteristic is "painting inside with ink, dyeing outside with ink".

The inside of the vessel is painted with vermilion, bright and warm;

Painted black on the outside, it is silent and dignified;
The contrast of red and black sets off the elegance and richness of lacquerware, presenting a strong decorative effect, and the utensils have a steady and dignified beauty.

Unearthed from the tomb of Guan Chu in Changtai, Xinyang, there are painted monsters, dragons and snakes, and Xiaose, who is hunting, dancing and dancing.

The mandarin duck box unearthed from the tomb of Zenghou Yi in Suizhou, and the small open-carved screen made of snakes, clams, birds and beasts unearthed from the tomb of Chu in Jiangling are all representative works of this period.

The square ear cup with painted lacquer and swirl patterns in the Warring States Period is a classic among them.

Ear cups are a kind of eating utensils that began to appear in the Spring and Autumn Period.

The deformed bird head pattern on this ear cup is the most characteristic decorative pattern in Warring States lacquerware.

By the Qin Dynasty, lacquerware manufacturing had become an important handicraft category.

Compared with the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the production of lacquerware in the Qin Dynasty was more regular and exquisite, with more shapes and varieties.

Although the history of Qin Dynasty is not long, Qin Dynasty lacquerware has played a role in connecting the past and the future in the development process of lacquerware from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the Han Dynasty.

The decorations of lacquerware in the Qin Dynasty are mostly red and black, flying and flowing, and the painting techniques are skillful and smooth, which gives people a strong visual impact and makes people marvel at the rich and bold imagination of the ancestors.

The lacquer craft of the Western Han Dynasty basically inherited the previous style, but with new developments, the production scale is larger and the production area is more widely distributed.

Large-scale utensils appeared, such as plates with a diameter of more than 70 centimeters and bells with a height of nearly 60 centimeters.

At the same time, several small parts can be skillfully assembled into one device.

For example, the box contains 6 earcups folded forward and 1 reversed, single-layer or double-layer lacquer dowry with thin tires, and 5, 7 or more small boxes of different sizes and shapes.

Emerging techniques include needle-painted gold-filled gold, piled lacquer with thick material piled up to write patterns, etc.

In particular, the top of the utensil is inlaid with metal flowers and leaves, the buttons are made of agate or glazed beads, and the mouth and body of the utensil are inlaid with gold and silver buckles and hoops.

In the meantime, gold or silver foil is used to inlay carved figures, gods and monsters, birds and beasts, and the painted clouds, mountains and rocks are used as foils, which is unprecedented.

Lacquerware of the Western Han Dynasty often had inscriptions engraved with the names of officials and craftsmen.

The unearthed lacquerware during the Eastern Han, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties is very rare compared with the previous dynasties, which has something to do with the changes in burial customs.

During the period of the Three Kingdoms, Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties, on the basis of inheriting the traditions of the Han Dynasty, lacquerware began to develop in diversification, and the craftsmanship and decoration techniques became more detailed and deepened.
