クリスティーズさんのインスタグラム写真 - (クリスティーズInstagram)「The image on this Rare Large Blue and White Ovoid Jar and Cover from the Chongzhen Period (1628-44) depicts a fascinating story of Chang-E, the Moon goddess in Chinese culture.⠀ .⠀ As the tale goes, the scene on this jar originates from a dream of the Tang-dynasty Emperor Xuanzong, who reigned from AD 713 to 756. In his dream, Emperor Xuanzong followed the sound of the flute from the Moon Palace, and wandered over a bridge. He then encountered Chang-E, the moon goddess dressed in an exquisite flowing robe. When he woke up from the dream, he composed a song based on the melody of the flute he had heard, which he titled Ni Shang Yu Yi Qu (The Song of Feather-Decorated Robe).⠀ .⠀ The sides are decorated with a continuous scene of a procession of scholars crossing a bridge to present themselves at the Guanhan Palace of Chang E, the moon goddess, all between incised borders. The cover is decorated with a scene of scholars.⠀ .⠀ A Rare Large Blue and White Ovoid Jar and Cover, Chongzhen Period (1628-1644). Estimate: $20,000-30,000.⠀ .⠀ Chinese Ceramics + Works of Art — 7-24, July, online.⠀ .⠀ #chineseceramics #blueandwhite #art #moongoddess #chongzhenperiod #asianartweek」7月22日 18時43分
