Comments:Published PDF date : Ming Jiajing 1522-1566 Room 95 label text:PDF A739Bowl with the Three Friends of WinterThis bowl is decorated in green and yellow enamels. Inside there is an incised dragon among clouds in green against a yellow ground. Outside, incised and painted bamboo, prunus and pine, each forming character: 福 (fu ‘happiness’), 錄 (lu ‘emolument’) and 壽 (shou ‘longevity’). The base has a six-character underglaze cobalt-blue Jiajing reign mark. Chinese people read this design of pine, bamboo and prunus as the 歲寒三友 (suihan sanyou ‘The Three Friends of Winter’). Pine trees are evergreen and grow for a long time, representing stability and longevity; bamboo, another evergreen, symbolises the educated Confucian, an ideal gentleman-scholar who should be like a bamboo stem, bending not breaking in adverse conditions; and the plum stands for purity as well as leadership, as it is the first flower to bloom in China in the New Year.Porcelain with incised decoration, underglaze cobalt-blue mark and green and yellow enamels Jingdezhen, Jiangxi province 江西省, 景德鎮Ming dynasty, Jiajing mark and period, AD 1522–1566 PDF A739歲寒三友圖碗此碗以黃地綠彩裝飾。碗內劃花雲龍紋一條，上施綠彩，背景為黃釉彩。碗外部劃花松竹梅紋，形狀分別象福、祿、壽三字，上涂綠彩。外底署青花六字嘉靖年款。中國人將松、竹、梅組成的紋飾圖案稱為“歲寒三友”（意為冬天的三位朋友）。松樹，長青且生長時間長，代表穩定與長壽；竹子，另一種長青植物，象徵有修養的儒家，即君子應該像竹節一樣，直面逆境彎韌不折；梅花代表純潔，亦象徵領袖風范，因其為中國新春開放的第一種花卉。外底署崇禎年款。瓷器，劃花，青花款，綠彩和黃彩江西省景德鎮明代，嘉靖，嘉靖款，1522–1566年
