How did the ancient small Guanyin bottle hang?

Vases are usually placed on the table, and few people hang them on the wall, especially ceramic bottles. But for decoration, the ancients actually designed vases that could be hung on the wall. This is the wall bottle, a traditional ceramic bottle in China. The wall bottle is half of the vertical part of common vases and statues, and the side near the wall is flat and perforated, which is convenient to hang on the wall for home decoration.

The Ming and Qing porcelain appraisal records that the shape of the wall bottle first appeared in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. It can be hung on the wall or on the column in the bed. There are many kinds, such as gourd, semicircle, lotus seed mouth and melon ridge. Wall vase "arranges flowers at four o'clock, people are flower companions, and the bed is full of fragrance." Lying refreshed, winter and summer are awkward. "

On the front, there is no difference between a wall vase and an ordinary vase, but from the side, it is like splitting an ordinary vase in half, with a very strange shape and clever conception. It was not until the Qianlong period that Biping met its "bosom friend"-Emperor Qianlong. Qianlong liked the wall bottle very much, which pushed the production of the wall bottle to a peak.

During the Qianlong period, wall bottles were no longer limited to traditional bottle types, and many innovative works appeared. Such as folding fan-shaped wall bottles, book-shaped wall bottles, bamboo-shaped wall bottles coated with enamel, gourd-shaped wall bottles embedded with black shark skin clocks, etc. , with realistic modeling and exquisite manufacturing technology, combines practicality and appreciation perfectly.

"Officer, you said the famous brand, the new bottle system is better. Picking flowers along the road with singing. It is said that the hanging place is good, and the wild flowers are inclined. The red dust is near, and the incense is hanging. " In this poem, Gan Long said that this small object accompanied him and provided him with entertainment on the way. This small object is a wall bottle.

Wall bottle is a kind of vessel whose decorative function is obviously greater than its practical function, which comes from people's beautiful pursuit of embellishing real life. Wall vase is a very special kind of China ceramics, which is ingenious in design, full of literary flavor, combined with architectural decoration and sculpture art.
