What does Hua Niaowen symbolize?

Flower-and-bird painting not only represents a high interest in cultural accomplishment, but also represents the pursuit of freedom and love and the yearning for life. Different flowers have different meanings, and every bird has different meanings. Tattoos are the same, but the carrier of canvas is different and the meaning is the same. For example, peony symbolizes wealth, lotus is compared to a gentleman, and when you see roses, you will think of love.

Pattern characteristics

The underglaze colored porcelain first seen in Changsha kiln in Tang Dynasty is mainly seen in the white-black porcelain of Cizhou kiln in Song Dynasty and the blue-glazed carved porcelain of Yaozhou kiln. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Hua Niaowen decoration prevailed in Jingdezhen kiln colored porcelain, such as the blue-and-white loquat plate with bird pattern in Xuande in Ming Dynasty, which depicted the vivid image of birds pecking at loquat and became the representative work of colored porcelain Hua Niaowen.

The theme of flowers and birds on porcelain in Chenghua period was more common than that in Xuande period. There are more kinds of birds, most of which live on branches and are lively and active. Hua Niaowen on Kangxi porcelain in Qing Dynasty was more meticulous in Chinese painting, which made the painted flowers and birds more vivid.

Historical background

In its heyday, Tongguan kiln porcelain was spread all over Asia, as far away as Africa, and exported to 29 countries and regions. Waterway transportation, from Xiangjiang River to Yangtze River, through Yangzhou, Ningbo and Guangzhou Port, has opened up the "Maritime Ceramics Road" to South Asia and North Africa. Zhu Shi, written by Li Qunyu, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, describes the spectacular scene of Tongguan kiln building on a hillside and burning porcelain with firewood: "The ancient shore pottery is used as a utensil, and the high forest is completely burned. Xiangpukou is red in flame, and Dongting is cloudy and hazy.
