凡例: - 展覧会タイトルに於いては、中国の慣習に則り青磁の「磁」を「瓷」としたが、本文及び論文に於いては、日本で主に用いられて いる「磁」のままとした。 Notes - The second Chinese character (kanji ) in the Japanese exhibition title (瓷) follows Chinese use for this term, while the captions and essays follow the Japanese usage of the homonymous character (磁). - Two different kilns and their wares have homonymous names in Pinyin. To differentiate between these two kilns, the relevant Chinese characters (kanji ) have been appended to their appearance in English captions and, as required, in the Mori essay. Ex. Yuezhou (越州) and Yuezhou (岳州).


ごあいさつ 本展は、中国陶磁史の大きな潮流の一つである、中唐から北宋にかけての青磁の 隆盛に焦点を当て、加えて高麗青磁も視野に入れ中国の青磁との対比を行うことによ り、中国の作例で足りない部分を補足し、より深く青磁を理解しようというものです。 中唐に始まる近世への胎動は、その勢いを加速させながら北宋末までエネルギー の上昇を続けることとなります。この、時代が変革するエネルギーは、文化芸術を変 容させ、やがては至高の高みへと押し上げていきました。そういった中、やきものに おいてそれが最も多く流入したのが青磁でした。とくに北宋後期の汝窯の作品は、士 大夫の精神と美意識を具現化していると云え、中国陶磁史上最も抽象性の高いやきも のとなっています。器物でありながら書画の要素を多分に含んでいるため、器物的な 鑑賞法に偏重すると、その本質を捉えきれない場合があります。蘇軾の書に観られる、 伝統的正統性を踏まえた上で形状に囚われず、内面の充実と精神の発露に重きをおい た芸術的態度は、当時の知識層に通底する価値感であると云え、そのような理念の基、 高度に造り込まれたものが汝窯青磁でした。 越州窯に代表される中唐から五代十国の青磁は、おもに黄緑色系の萌黄色のよう な釉調で、青を基調とする釉調のものは極めて少なく、北宋後期に汝窯で天青色の青 磁が焼成されるまでは、越州窯系の黄緑色に加え耀州窯系のオリーブグリーンの釉調 のものが大半でした。そうした中、本展に出展される太平丁丑(977 年)銘の天青色 を呈した越州窯刻花蓮弁文洗は、希少かつ示唆に富む作例であると云えます。 本展では、そのような細やかな色調の違いにも着目し出展作品を選定しました。 残念ながらその希少性ゆえ汝窯は出陳できませんでしたが、それ以外は極力よい作例 を観て頂こうと心掛けました。青磁に焦点を絞った展示ではございますが、最終的に は、中唐から北宋へと続く近世への胎動を、青磁を通して感じとって頂けたらと思っ ております。

Message This exhibition aims to provide a deeper understanding of celadon, a ware type that represents one of the main trends in Chinese ceramic history. The exhibition focuses on the preeminent period of celadon production in China, from the Mid Tang through the Northern Song, with an added focus on Goryeo celadons from the Korean Peninsula. This selection of works will provide fascinating opportunities to compare Chinese and Goryeo celadons, with the Goryeo works also supplementing areas not covered in the Chinese works on display. The stirrings of change that began in the Mid Tang as China transitioned to what would become its pre-modern era continued to energetically strengthen and gather pace up until the late Northern Song. The energy generated by changes in the social structure transformed the arts and culture until they reached a transcendent pinnacle of elegance. Celadon was the ceramic form that most embodied those changes. In particular, the works produced by the Ru kilns in the late Northern Song can be seen as exemplifying the spirit and aesthetics of the scholar-bureaucrats of the period. And indeed, Ru ware is the most conceptually conceived form of ceramic produced across the history of Chinese ceramics. The fact that many of these works include multiple calligraphy and painting aspects, all while being fully vessels, suggests that relying solely on appreciating them as physical vessels denies a full understanding of their true nature. In essence, the Northern Song scholar-bureaucrat aesthetic approach, as seen in the caligraphy of Su Shi, worked from the basis of traditional orthodox views as it emphasized the evoking of a work’s inner completion and spirit, unfettered by the sole consideration of external form. Ru ware celadon stands as the highest artistic expression of that aesthetic. Mid Tang to Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms celadon, mainly from the Yuezhou kilns, is characterized by a pale greenish-yellow color, with but very few works

displaying a blue-tone base note. Until the late Northern Song when the Ru ware kilns attained a sky blue-colored celadon, most Chinese celadons were either the greenishyellow Yuezhou type, or the olive green glaze tone of the Yaozhou type. Among the works exhibited here, Yuezhou Celadon Basin with Incised Lotus Petal Design and “Taiping Dingchou” (太平丁丑, 977) Inscription is a rare and richly suggestive work that displays the sky blue coloration. Our selection of works for this exhibition focuses on these subtle differences in coloration. The rarity of Ru ware has precluded its inclusion here, but we have striven to present other fascinatingly powerful works for your viewing pleasure. While this display is specifically of celadon, in the end, we hope that through these celadon works you will gain a sense of the stirring of creative change that continued from the Mid Tang to the Northern Song, and on into China’s pre-modern era.

太平丁丑(977年)の次年度、太平戊寅(978年) (左ページ)より目跡の形状が楕円から 細長い形状に変化し、以後、高台内目跡は細長いタイプが主流となるようである。 In 978 (Taiping Wuyin, see left page), the year after 977 (Taiping Dingchou), spur marks changed from an oval form to a long, narrow form. From then on, these long narrow spur marks in the foot interior became the dominant type.

北宋時代後期の美意識-青磁と院体画 板倉聖哲

中国絵画史において、素材として水墨画、主題として山水・ 花鳥画が中心的な役割を果たすようになったのは中唐・8 世 紀以降であり、中唐、江南の知識人たちによる「溌墨」とい う絵画運動が契機となった。それは「唐宋変革」と呼ばれる 社会全体の転換期と時期が重なっており、水墨で即興的に描 く「溌墨」の手法はそれまでの絵画の概念を壊し、未完成性 を内包した絵画の在り方を肯定し、その後の中国絵画の方向 性が示された。 唐時代において道釈・人物画の表現が高みに達したのに対 して、五代・北宋という時代は後世の「規範」となる山水・ 花鳥画の様式が生み出された時代と言えよう。山水画では五 代・南唐の董源(挿図 1)・巨然、北宋に入って李成・范寛・ 郭煕(挿図 2)らが輩出され、江南・華北の風土に基づきな がら、多様な山水表現が生み出された。花鳥画においては五 代・南唐の徐煕の粗放な筆使いによる水墨画、蜀の黄筌によ る鈎勒(輪郭線のある)の着色画が各々「徐氏体」「黄氏体」 として定着した。その上、北宋後期に活躍した蘇軾・文同ら 文人たちによる花卉雑画の流れが後世には文人画の大きな主 流となっていく。その後、北宋末に登場した徽宗皇帝は、こ れらの展開をみな俯瞰することができる位置にあったのであ る。

北 宋 第 八 代 皇 帝、 徽 宗( 挿 図 3

在 位 1100 ~ 1125

1082 ~ 1135)は自ら当代一流の書画家であり、茶を喫し、 器物・音楽・庭園にも造詣が深く、その名は芸術を愛する「風 流天子」という評価と早くから結び付いていた。その一方で、 『水滸伝』などから政治に無能な遊び人像が強調され、好き な芸術にうつつを抜かして政治を疎かにし、北宋王朝を滅亡

に導いた亡国の皇帝という負のイメージも永く定着してきた。近年で は、政治面について無関心であったのではなく、北宋時代の文治主義 の中、四度宰相を務めた「公相」蔡京 (1047 ~ 1126) や宦官出身の「媼 「隠相」梁師成(?~ 1126)ら側近と共に儀 相」童貫(1054 ~ 1126)・ 式などの刷新を図り、新たな「劇場国家」を目指した為政者像が提示 されており、文化・芸術面においては、様々なジャンルにおいて歴史 を踏まえ新生面を示し、新たな展示施設、宣和殿を建設し、蒐集した 書画文物を高級官僚や外交使節といった限られた人々のために展示す るなど芸術を政治利用したことが明らかにされつつある。 徽宗は第六代神宗(在位 1068 ~ 1085 1048 ~ 1085)の 11 番目の 子供であり、第七代哲宗(在位 1085 ~ 1100 1077 ~ 1100)の弟に当 たる。兄哲宗の早逝によって彼に皇帝の役回りが回ってきたが、即位 以前から芸術への関心は強く、皇帝に即位したことで、様々な芸術が 未曽有の規模で実現することができるようになったと見なすことがで きる。例えば、杭州の鳳凰山を模した艮嶽の造営 には莫大な費用を投じて遠く南方より運河を使っ て運ばせた大岩や木を用いており(花石綱)、こ の庭園はその象徴とも言えよう。両宋で活躍した 画院画家、李唐の「万壑松風図」 (挿図 4 台北・ 國立故宮博物院 1124 年)は艮嶽の景を反映さ せたものと見る説がある。 徽宗の命を受けて編まれた『宣和書譜』20 巻・ 『宣和画譜』20 巻・『重修宣和博古図』30 巻は、 徽宗が築いた膨大な書・画・文物コレクションの 内容を今に伝えてくれる。これらのコレクション に基づいて徽宗は新たな美を生み出すことを目 指した。徽宗朝に高みに達したとされるのが徽 宗の指導の下、完成の域に達した「宣和体」と 呼ばれた院体画であり、「痩金体」(挿図 5)と 称する装飾的な書体であり、「雨過天青」と称さ

れた青色を湛えた汝窯の青磁(挿図 6、7)であった。後世、いず れも徽宗の目指した美を象徴するものとされ、南宋・髙宗(在位

1127 ~ 1162 1107 ~ 1187)、金・章宗(在位 1189 ~ 1208 1168 ~ 1208)、元・文宗(在位 1329 ~ 1332 1304 ~ 1332)、明・宣徳 帝(在位 1426 ~ 1435 1399 ~ 1435)、清・乾隆帝(在位 1735 ~

1796 1711 ~ 1799)といった芸術を愛好した歴代の皇帝たちにとっ て憧憬の対象となってきた。

汝窯では哲宗朝の頃から極めて上質の青磁を焼成したが、徽宗 朝においては官窯的な役割を果たしたとされる。 「雨過天青雲破処」 は五代・後周の世宗柴栄(在位 954 ~ 959 921 ~ 959)が家臣に 要求した青磁の色を示す言葉だが、後に汝窯青磁のそれを指すよ うになった。艶のある淡い青、淡い縹色、青よりも白くやや灰色 を帯びているなどと記述されるが、雨上がりのしっとりと水気を

146


含んだ空の色を意味する「雨過天青」色はこの時期の汝窯青磁を 形容するにふさわしい言葉として定着している。南宋・周煇『清 波雑志』には「汝窯は宮中禁焼なり。内に瑪瑙末ありて油となす。 唯だ御に供し,揀び退けてまさに出売を許す。近ごろ尤も得がた し」 、つまり、汝窯は宮廷が命じて青磁を作らせた窯で、釉には瑪 瑙の粉を入れた、とある。又、宮廷に納めるために厳しく選別され、 適わなかったものは民間において売ることが許されたが、当時(南 宋初)には既に非常に稀少な器であった、とも記されている。汝 窯の実態は長らく不詳であったが、2000 年の清凉寺窯(河南省宝 豊県)の発掘によって伝世汝窯と同種のものが見出され、大きく 進んだ。但し、いまだ解決されていない問題も少なくない。それ でも、世界に 70 点ほどしか伝存しない希少な伝世の作例と合わ せ考えると、徽宗朝を中心に、工人たちの手によって究極の色が 求められ、宮廷側で厳しく選別された様を想像することは難くな い。杭州臨安城の南宋宮廷遺跡や皇后邸跡から汝窯青磁が複数出 土しており、又、南宋官窯や南宋初期の越窯などが汝窯青磁の器 種・造形を意識して生産されていることからも、後世において憧 憬・規範となったことがわかる。

徽宗は、北宋時代の他の皇帝と異なり、自ら絵画を描くことを 得意とし、画院(宮廷)画家に対して直接関与・指導したとされる。 若い頃、宗室の王詵や小景画を得意とした趙令穣の下に出入りし、 花鳥画は画院画家の崔白の門人で武臣の呉元瑜に学んだ。道教に熱 中し、瑞祥を求めた徽宗が自ら詩・書・画・印した「宣和睿覧冊」 は自分の治世に現れた瑞祥を絵画化した集大成であり、画史関連の 文献にしばしば登場する代表作と見なすべきものだが、中国大陸に 「瑞鶴図巻」(挿図 8 遼寧省博物館 1112 年)・「祥龍石図」(北京・ 故宮博物院) 、米国に「五色鸚鵡図」(挿図 9

ボストン美術館)が

現存している。現存作品では、 「搗練図巻」 (挿図 10 ボストン美術館) は宮廷における年中行事を絵画化したものだが、その細緻な筆使い や彩色は伝称作品の中でも特に際立っている。日本では足利三代将 軍義満(在職 1368 ~ 1394 1358 ~ 1408)の収集品である東山御物 「桃鳩図」 (東京・個人 1107 年)が早くから有名で、伝世の「唐絵」 の頂点に君臨してきた。自ら筆を振るったとされるこれらの徽宗御 画をめぐっては、本人がどのくらい関わったのかが問題とされたが、

むしろ、その多くは徽宗の指導の下、彼の趣味を具現化すべ く、画院画家たちが競って制作していたという制作環境を想 定すべきであろう。こうして生み出された多くの作品群は、 彼自身が直接発した命令書「御筆手詔」のように、様々な機 会に下賜されたと考えられる。南宋前期の館閣制度を記した 南宋・陳騤『南宋館閣録』巻3「儲蔵」に掲載される内府所 蔵の絵画リストには「御画十四軸」、続編の『南宋館閣続録』 (1199 年)巻3「儲蔵」には「徽宗皇帝御画十四軸、徽宗皇 帝御題画三十一軸・一冊」とあり、「御画十四軸」の中には 既に「蝋梅山禽図」(台北・國立故宮博物院) ・ 「芙蓉錦鶏図」 (北京・故宮博物院)が含まれていた。北宋滅亡後、南宋髙 宗以来、南宋宮廷は文物の収集に努めたが、この徽宗御画は 北宋から南宋へと宮廷コレクションが継承されたことを示す 重要なものと見なされた。 花鳥画では「瑞鶴図巻」や「桃鳩図」・「蝋梅山禽図」・「芙 蓉錦鶏図」などは唐時代の装飾性を意識した平面的な構図と 北宋画院の「黄氏体」の系譜で追及した細緻な彩色描写の再

現性とを兼ねており、古今の絵画史の展開を踏まえた表現効 果を湛えている。その意味で、人物画でも、唐時代の人物画 家、張萱とされる図様に拠りながら彩色・文様や道具立てに 北宋的な要素を加えた「搗練図巻」 ・ 「虢国夫人遊春図巻」(遼 寧省博物館) 、「唐十八学士図」図像の一部に拠りつつやはり 器物などに北宋のものを描き込んだ「文会図」(台北・國立 故宮博物院)なども同様の傾向を示したものと見なせよう。 画院画家の作例でも、復古的な青緑山水画でありながら華北・ 江南で展開した山水の図様を取り込み、過去のそれとは異な る着色山水画である王季孟「千里江山図巻」 (挿図 11 北京・ 故宮博物院 1113 年)や李唐「万壑松風図」(台北・國立故 宮博物院 1124 年)など、過去(唐以前)と現在(北宋)の 止揚という営為は徽宗御画に見えるものと共通したものであ る。崇寧3年(1104 )に画学(宮廷絵画学校)を設置して画 家を養成する(1110 年に廃止、画院に編入)、詩題によって 画院画家たちを競作させるなど、画院改革を自ら推進した徽 宗だが、徽宗の造形における狙いは画院画家たちにも理解さ

れ、個人の名を有する作品にも反映されていたことになろう。「千里江山図 巻」の作者である王季孟は、この画巻を徽宗から下賜された蔡京の後跋には、 当時 18 歳、画学出身の画院画家で、徽宗の薫陶を受けたことが記されてい る。又、現在では中国風俗画の最高傑作と称される張擇端「清明上河図」 (挿 図 12 北京・故宮博物院)も徽宗朝の作例。作者の張擇端は当時としては 無名の画院画家だったとされるが、同時代の都汴京(開封)における清明 節の風俗を、超絶技巧によって再現的に表している。ただし、この作品も 単なる現実ではなく、理想的な景観を舞台として、それまでに獲得した風 俗表現のイディオムの集大成と見るべきであり、徽宗朝画院という同時代 性を看取することができる。

『宣和画譜』などの内容からして、徽宗皇帝が画院画家たちに求めたのは、 造化の真を探求し、外物の本性を突きとめ、形似を超越した伝神に到達す ることであった。その方向性は蘇軾(挿図 13 1039 ~ 1112)らの提唱し た文人画論と通じるものである。蘇軾の「鄢陵王主簿所画折枝

詩の形にこだわるのは詩を知らぬ者である、詩と画に必要なのはもともと 一つで、天性の表現と清新な趣である、とある。詩と画は共に「形」より も「意」「情」を重視すべきであると主張しているのだ。それを受けて、門 人の晁補之(1053 ~ 1110)は詩画の関係を論じた際に「画は物外の形を写 すも、物の形の改まざるを要する」、画とはモノの「形」を超えた「形」を 描くものであるが、モノの「形」を写し損なってはならない、としており、 金時代の王若虚(1174 ~ 1243)は、蘇軾は「形似」を超えたところに詩画 の価値を見出そうとし、「形似」を完全に否定したのではなく「形似」のみ に固執することを否定したに過ぎない、と解釈している。徽宗朝の作品と 合わせ考えれば、徽宗の目指したことは職業的な画工の手による洗練され

Late Northern Song Aesthetics: Celadon and Imperial Academy Painting Itakura Masaaki

In China, Mid Tang (the 8th century) saw the rise of the ink painting medium and landscape and bird and flower themes that would dominate later Chinese painting. This development was triggered by the so-called splashed ink (溌墨, pomo), trend among the Jiangnan intelligentsia of Mid Tang. This artistic trend coincided with a transitional period in society overall, what came to be known as the Tang-Song transition. The splashed ink technique with its improvisational use of ink demolished previous painting concepts, affirming a style of painting that incorporated a sense of the incomplete, which went on to set the direction for later Chinese painting. Religious figure imagery and figure painting reached considerable heights during the Tang dynasty. Benchmark landscape and bird and flower styles that would be taken up by all later generations were established during the Five Dynasties period and the Northern Song dynasty. In landscape painting, the Five Dynasties-Southern Tang produced Dong Yuan (fig. 1) and Juran, and the Northern Song saw the emergence of painters such as Li Cheng, Fan Kuan and Guo Xi (fig. 2). These painters worked from the basis of Jiangnan and northern China landscapes, while at the same time creating diverse painting styles. In bird and flower painting, the rough and unfettered brush style seen in the ink paintings of Xu Xi of the Five Dynasties-Southern Tang dynasty, and the full color paintings with visible outlines by Huang Quan of the Later

Shu dynasty, led respectively to what would become known as the “Xu style” and the “Huang style.” Su Shi, Wen Tong and other literati active in the late Northern Song produced plant and flower miscellaneous images, which became a major trend in later generations of literati painting. And then, Emperor Huizong appeared, capable of taking an overview approach to these various developments. The 8th emperor of the Northern Song dynasty, Huizong (fig. 3, 10821135, r. 1100 -1125) was one of the leading calligraphers and painters of his day.

He enjoyed drinking tea, and was well-versed in art, music and garden design. From early on his name was linked with evaluations calling him a “gracious emperor” who loved the arts. Conversely, the Shui hu zhuan (水滸伝) and other texts emphasized his image as a heedless dilettante unskilled at governing. It was this negative image as the emperor who ruined the country that became fixed, someone who became immersed in his beloved arts, neglecting governing. Fig. 3 Seated Portrait of Emperor Song Huizong Song dynasty (12th century) Hanging scroll, ink and color on silk H. 188.2, W. 106.7 cm National Palace Museum, Taipei.

In recent years, scholars have indicated that rather than being uninterested in government, Huizong played a central role in the government of his time. Amidst the Northern Songʼs governing by a law and reason system rather than a military strength system, Huizong planned the complete reform of rituals and other matters with Cai Jing (1047-1126), four times the leading government official known by the title of "Gong Xiang" (公相), Tong Guan (1054-1126), the eunuch known by title “Ao Xiang” (媼相), and Liang Shicheng (? -1126), known as the "Yin Xiang" (隠相). They presented a ruler image who aimed for a new “theatrical politics.” In terms of culture and the arts, he created new forms based on history in various genres, constructing new display facilities, such as the Xuanhe dian (宣 和殿). These actions indicate how the arts were being employed for political pur-

poses, with these facilities used to display the emperorʼs collection of calligraphy, paintings and antiques for high-ranking court officials and foreign envoys. Huizong was the 11th child of the 6th Northern Song emperor Shenzong (1048-1085, r. 1068-1085), and the younger brother of the 7th emperor Zhezong (1077-1100, r. 1085-1100). The early death of his older brother Zhezong meant that the role of emperor devolved onto Huizong. Deeply interested in the arts prior to his ascension to the throne, we can see how he was then able to realize various artistic pursuits on an unparalleled scale when he became emperor. An example of such pursuits can be seen in how he invested massive funds in the building of the Genyue modeled after Phoenix Mountain in Hangzhou. He used

158


the Huashigang fleet of canal boats to haul massive rocks and timber from the far south for this project. Li Tang (ca. 1050 -1130), an imperial academy painter active in both Northern and Southern Song dynasties, painted Wind in Pines Among a Myriad Valleys (fig. 4, 1124, National Palace Museum, Taipei), which one

theory today says reflects scenery in the Genyue. Three books commissioned by Huizong —the 20 -volume Xuanhe Shupu, the 20 -volume Xuanhe Huapu

and the 30 -volume Chongxiu Xuanhe bogutu —convey to us today the contents of the massive calligraphy, painting and antiques collection built by Huizong. Through this collection Huizong sought the creation of a new aesthetic. This new aesthetic can be seen in three art forms which reached their fruition under Huizongʼs direction and were a pinnacle achievement during his reign: the imperial academy painting style known as the Xuanhe style, the decorative calligraphy style called the

Shoujin style (fig. 5), and the celadon of the Ru kilns (figs. 6 and 7) whose blue coloration was likened to a clear blue sky after rain. These art forms -- which were all seen by later generations as symbolizing Huizongʼs

desired aesthetic -- became the subject of great longing for generations of art-loving emperors, from the Southern Song emperor Gaozong (1107-1187, r. 1127-1162), to the Jin emperor Zhangzong (1168-1208, r. 1189-1208), the Yuan

emperor Wenzong (1304-1332, r. 1329-1332), the Ming emperor Xuande (13991435, r. 1426 -1435), and the Qing emperor Qianlong (1711-1799, r. 1735-1796).

The Ru kilns had begun firing extremely high-quality celadon ca. Zhezongʼs reign, and then gradually assumed the role of official imperial kiln during Huizongʼs reign. The Five Dynasties Later Zhou emperor Shizong, Chai Rong (921-959, r. 954-959) used the expression 雨過天青雲破処, literally, as if clouds clearing to revealing a blue sky after rain coloration, when he explained the color of celadon he sought to his household official. This term later came to indicate the color of Ru ware celadon. It is recorded as having been a richly toned

pale blue, a faint blue, or a blue that is whiter, more ash gray in tone than ordinary blue. The term 雨過天青 blue sky after rain has passed, a term implying the color of the sky after rain has ended but the humid mist remains, then became fixed as the color that suitably expresses the Ru ware celadon of this period. In his Qingbo zazhi (清波雑志), Zhou Hui of the Southern Song stated, to paraphrase, Ru kilns produced wares solely for the imperial household, the imperial palace directed the Ru kilns to make celadon, and the glaze contained agate powder. Further, the wares to be used in the palaces were extremely carefully selected, and those which were not appropriate for such use could be sold to the public. However, at that time [early Southern Song], such works were extremely rare. The actual situation at the Ru ware kilns was long unknown, but excavations at the site of the Qingliangsi kilns (Baofeng county, Henan province) in 2000 discovered wares of the same type as extant Ru ware works, and thus our knowledge of the Ru kilns has been greatly enlarged. And yet, numerous unresolved issues still remain.

160


Even so, when this information is considered alongside the approximately 70 Ru ware works traditionally preserved worldwide, it is not hard to imagine the imperial palaceʼs strict selection process, particularly during Huizongʼs reign, as the kiln workers sought the ultimate color. Several examples of Ru ware celadon have been excavated from the site of the Southern Song palace at Linʼancheng, Hangzhou, and the residence of the empress. Further, given that the Southern Song imperial kilns and the early Southern Song Yue kilns produced their works in full awareness of the vessel types and shapes of the Ru ware celadons, we can see how Ru ware works became the benchmark standard and sought after wares in later generations. Unlike other Northern Song emperors, Huizong was himself a skilled painter, and is said to have directly worked with and guided the imperial academy painters (court painters). As a young man he interacted with the imperial family members Wang Shen and Zhao Lingrang, who specialized in small landscape paintings. He studied bird and flower painting under Wu Yuanyu, the minister of military affairs who was a pupil of the imperial academy painter Cui Bai. Huizong was passionate about Daoism and sought out auspicious signs and symbols. His Xuanhe Ruilance, containing his own poetry, calligraphy, paintings and seals, is a grand pictorial compilation of auspicious events

and signs that appeared during his own period. This major work is frequently mentioned in literature related to the history of painting. There are three extant works from the compilation, namely Cranes and Pavilion (fig. 8, 1112, Liaoning Provincial Museum) and Auspicious Dragon Stone (The Palace Museum, Beijing) in China, and Five-Colored Parakeet on a Blossoming Apricot Tree (fig. 9, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston). Another

extant work, Court Ladies Preparing Newly Woven Silk (fig. 10, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston) is a pictorial rendering of an annual event in the imperial court. The intricately fine brushwork and colors make it particularly outstanding. In Japan, Peach Blossoms and Dove (1107, private collection, Tokyo) was part of the Higashiyama gyomotsu collection of

the 3rd Ashikaga shogun, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu (1358-1408, shogun: 1368-1394). This painting was famous from early in its history and is considered to be the finest traditionally preserved kara-e (Chinese painting). Questions remain regarding the degree to which Huizong himself was involved with these paintings said to be by his hand. It is likely that most of them were created under Huizongʼs direction and these works should be seen as the embodiment of his tastes. We should probably surmise that they were created in a production environment characterized by competitive production among the imperial academy painters. Most of these works created under such conditions could be considered to have been bestowed upon various different occasions, in the same

manner as his own “edicts from the emperor himself ” (yubi shouzhao, 御筆手詔). The paintings owned by the imperial court are listed in Chuzang volume 3 of the Nansong guangelu which recorded the early Southern Song court pavilion system written by Chen

Kui during the Southern Song. That list includes the entry “14 hanging scrolls by the emperor (御画十四軸).” The sequel edition, Nansong guangexulu (1199) Chuzang volume 3 states that there were 14 hanging scroll paintings by emperor Huizong (徽宗皇帝御画 十四軸) and 31 hanging scrolls and one album of paintings titled by emperor Huizong

(徽宗皇帝御題画三十一軸・一冊). The 14 hanging scrolls by emperor Huizong include Chimonauthus and Birds (National Palace Museum, Taipei), and Lotus and Pheasant (The

Palace Museum, Beijing). After the fall of the Northern Song, the Southern Song court collected antiques from the reign of Southern Song emperor Gaozong onwards. The fact that the Southern Song imperial collection inherited these paintings by Huizong from the Northern Song imperial collection should be considered an important indication of the continuity of the imperial collections. In terms of bird and flower paintings, works such as Cranes and Pavilion, Peach Blossoms and Dove, Chimonauthus and Birds, and Lotus and Pheasant are filled with

expressive effects based on past and present painting history, namely an awareness of the decorative planar compositions of the Tang dynasty combined with the realistic replication of delicately rendered colors and depiction, namely, the effect sought by the Huang style of the Northern Song imperial painting academy. We can also see how this same trend occurred in figure painting. Relying on the iconography said to be that of the Tang figure painter Zhang Xuan, in terms of the color, design, and utensils and objects depicted, painters added Northern Song-like elements in such works as Court Ladies Preparing Newly Woven Silk and Lady Guo Guo’s Spring Outing (Liaoning Provincial Museum). Similarly Literary Gathering (National Palace Museum, Taipei) and other works rely on imagery from parts of The Tang Eighteen Scholars while adding in Northern Song utensils and artworks. Some imperial academy painters were producing older styles of blue-green landscape paintings that also incorporated landscape imagery developed in northern China and Jiangnan such as Wang Jimengʼs Thousand Miles Landscape (fig. 11, 1113, The Palace Museum, Beijing) and Li Tangʼs Wind in Pines Among a Myriad Valleys (1124, National Palace Museum, Taipei). These new

landscape paintings differed from those of the past and we can see how their sublating of the past (pre-Tang) and the present (Northern Song) is similar to that seen in Huizongʼs paintings. Huizong himself advanced the reform of the imperial painting academy. In

1104 (Chongning 3) he established an imperial painting school to train painters. This

facility was disbanded in 1110 and absorbed into the imperial painting academy. He set themes for the imperial academy painters, encouraging competition among them. The imperial academy painters understood Huizongʼs artistic aims and they reflected his aims in their signed works. Cai Jing, the recipient of the painting from Huizong, wrote a postscript on Wang Jimengʼs Thousand Miles Landscape. In that postscript he stated that at the time Wang Jimeng was an 18-year-old imperial academy painter who had studied at the painting school and been educated by Huizong. Further, Zhang Zeduanʼs Spring Festival on the River (fig. 12, The Palace Museum, Beijing), considered to be the

pinnacle extant achievement in Chinese genre scene painting, was also produced during Huizongʼs reign. While Zhang Zeduan is said to have been just an anonymous academy painter at the time, he used his transcendent skills to recreate the scenes of the Qingming festival in the capital city of the time, Bianjing (Kaifeng). However, this work is not simply a recreation of reality, indeed, it can be considered a grand compilation of the genre scene idiom to that date set amidst an idealized landscape, in which we can perceive the contemporaneity of the Huizong imperial painting academy. The contents of the Xuanhe huapu and other such works indicate that Huizong sought a search for creative truth from the painters of his imperial academy. He set them

to extract the true nature of external appearance, and thus attain chuanshen (伝神), a divine spark that surpasses xingsi (形似) figural replication. This direction can also be seen heralded in the literati painting treatises of Su Shi (fig. 13, 1039-1112) and others. To paraphrase Su Shi ʼs Yanling Wangzhubu suohua zhezhi ershou qiyi [Two inscriptions written on flower branch paintings by Wang, a local officer of Yanling] (鄢陵王主簿所画 折枝 二首

其一), speaking of painting and only referring to visible forms is no different

than a child ʼs perception. What is sought in the poetic form when writing a poem is a person who does not know poetry. What is needed for poetry and painting is essentially the same, they are divine expression and freshly novel aura. He thus emphasized that in both poetry and painting, more so than form, one must value idea and sentiment. With that teaching in mind, in his discussion of the connection between poetry and painting, Su Shi ʼs disciple Chao Buzhi (1053 -1110) stated, “Even when a picture recreates an objectʼs external appearance, it must also by necessity transform the objectʼs form.” A picture is that which depicts form that transcends the form of an object, does not fail

168


to replicate an objectʼs form. Wang Ruoxu (1174-1243) of the Jin dynasty interpreted this as Su Shi discerning the value of painting and poetry in such surpassing of formal resemblance, and yet does not completely deny formal resemblance, it is nothing more than denying focusing solely on formal resemblance. If we consider this view along with the paintings created during Huizongʼs reign, we can see that while Huizong worked from the premise of works displaying the honed technical prowess of professional artists, he directed those artists to create works that aligned with the aesthetics of the literati and scholar-bureaucrats. In that sense, the aesthetics that formed the background for the production of Ru ware celadons filled with a sense of heavenly blue clarity (天青) is shared by what Huizong sought from the painters of the imperial academy. Then this honed and refined aesthetic, which underlay all of the late Northern Song arts, regardless of genre, was handed on and continued through artworks created in later generations when the literati/scholar-bureaucrat aesthetic became the dominant trend.

唐・五代・宋の青磁 -越州窯、耀州窯、龍泉窯を中心に- 森

達也

中唐から宋代(8 世紀後半~ 13 世紀)は、中国の青磁が大きく発展した時 代である。それ以前の中国では、陶磁器は決して最上級の工芸品ではなく、玉 器、金銀器、青銅器(響銅、佐波理)、漆器、ガラス器などより下に位置づけ られていた。どちらかと言うと実用器としてではなく、副葬用の明器として発 展してきた傾向が強かったのである。ところが、安史の乱(755 ~ 763 年)を 境に唐王朝が衰え始めた 9 世紀になると、越州窯で秘色青磁が生み出され、最 高権力者である皇帝の身の回りで用いられる最上級の工芸品の中に青磁が加え られようになった。北宋代の初期には越州窯の秘色青磁が、後期には汝窯が皇 帝のための磁器として用いられ、南宋になると南宋官窯や龍泉窯の青磁がその 位置を占めたのである。 晩唐に皇帝のための青磁が生み出されると、その影響は同時代の民間用の青 磁にも及び、青磁の意匠や生産技術が大きく発展した。また、それよりやや早 い時期に越州窯青磁、邢窯や鞏義窯の白磁や三彩(晩唐三彩)、長沙窯陶磁な どが大量に海外に輸出されはじめる。東アジアから東南アジア、西アジア、地 中海、東アフリカまでの地域に中国陶磁が大量に輸出された結果、世界の広範 な地域でその質の高さと美しさが知られるようになり、各地でその模倣品が作 られるようになった。 本稿では、こうした中国青磁の大発展期の変遷を、最新の窯跡の発掘成果を 紹介しながら概述する。なお、最後の部分では中国青磁の技術が伝播して生み 出された高麗青磁についても言及するつもりである。

1.越州窯青磁の発展と秘色青磁の誕生 中国・浙江省北部では後漢から三国時代(1 世紀~ 280 年)以降に各地で 青磁の生産が盛んとなり、唐時代前半以前の製品は日本では古越磁と呼ばれて いる。8 世紀後半になると慈渓・上林湖とその周辺地域で、器壁が薄く、均整 のとれた器形をもった実用性と美しさを兼ね備えた上質の青磁が大量生産され るようになる。それ以降の製品を日本では越州窯青磁と呼んでいる(中国では

このガラス碗・托は他に類品のない特殊なもので、皇帝用 の什器として特別に作られたものであろう。当時中国では透 明ガラスの生産がほとんど行われていなかったことから、西 アジアに注文して製作された可能性も指摘されている。 玉璧底碗の生産開始時期は 8 世紀後半であり、年代的には ガラス碗・托の献納年(874 年)よりも遡ることから、この ガラス碗の影響で青磁玉璧底碗が生産されたとは考えられ ず、逆に、当時玉璧底碗の器形が喫茶用器として定着してい て、それに倣ってこの喫茶用のガラス碗が注文によって作ら れたとする方が適切であろう。 また、玉璧底碗の初現とほぼ同時期の 760 年頃に著された とされる陸羽の『茶経』には、 「甌越州上口唇不巻底巻而浅 そら

り茶碗としての性格を有していたと考えられるのである。 唐時代末期の 9 世紀末になると越州窯青磁の品質はさらに高まり「秘色(ひ しょく、または、ひそく)」と呼ばれる最上質の青磁が作られるようになった。

屋敷跡などからしか出土しておらず、皇帝や上級貴族など特別な人々しか手に することができなかったと考えられる。 唐が滅び、五代十国時代(907 ~ 960 年)に入ると、越州窯青磁の生産は華 南の十国の一つである呉越国(907 ~ 978 年)の管理に置かれた。五代の秘色 青磁は、呉越国の王族の墓から出土したものが多く知られている。五代後半(10 世紀後半)の秘色青磁には金銀器の模様を写した緻密な劃花紋(陰刻紋)が施 されるようになり、玉の質感と金銀器の装飾を併せ持ったこれまでにない秘色 青磁が誕生し、それ以降、北宋代を通じて生産された(図版 23) 。 7

呉越国は北方の五代の王朝に臣従し、多くの越州窯青磁を献じた。貢納用に (図版 17)や「太平戊寅(978 生産された青磁には底部に「太平丁丑(977 年)」 年)」 (p. 40)の紀年銘が施されたものがある。 北宋代前期には、引き続き上質の秘色青磁が生産され、河南省鞏義の北宋皇 陵・元徳李后陵(1000 年)からは劃花による龍紋が施された上質の製品が出 土しており 、北宋代前期の秘色青磁が唐代から引き続き皇族に使われていた 8

ことがわかる。 北宋後期になると越州窯青磁の質は低下し始め、南宋初期に越州窯の青磁生 産は終焉を迎える。 なお、越州窯青磁の技術は浙江省北部だけでなく、浙江省南部の婺州窯や東 、江西省、福建省、広東省東部、湖南省など華南の広い 南部の甌窯(図版 29) 地域に拡がり、それらの総称として越州窯系の名称が用いられることが多い。

唐(9世紀)


湖南省の岳州窯は、唐代には越州窯の影響を強く受けた青磁を生産し、五代 には底部外面(高台の内側)に直径 2 ~ 3mm ほどの円形の目跡が 4 個または

5 個あることを特徴する青磁が焼成された(図版 13、14)。岳州窯は前述した『茶 経』には、 「盌、越州上、鼎州婺州次、丘州(岳州、筆者註)上、壽州洪州次。 」 とあり、唐代に優れた青磁が作られたことが知られている。

2.耀州窯青磁の展開 唐王朝が滅亡し五代十国時代になると、越州窯のある浙江省北部は十国の一 つである呉越国の領域となった。呉越国は北方の王朝に多くの越州窯青磁を 貢納したが、唐代に比べて華北での越州窯青磁の流通量は低下した。このよう な状況下で、唐代に都・長安にさまざまな粗製の陶磁器を供給していた耀州窯 (唐・五代の耀州窯は黄堡窯と呼ぶこともある)が、流通が不足する越州窯青 磁を補うために上質な青磁生産を志向するようになったと考えられる。五代後 期には褐色の粗い胎土の上に白化粧土をかけた上に天青色釉を施した、やや上 質の青磁の生産を行ない、北宋初期(10 世紀後半)には、白色の胎土の上に美 しい天青色釉をかけたこれまでにない独特の雰囲気の上質の青磁を生産するよ うになった 。このタイプの青磁はかつて小山冨士夫が『宋会要』に記載され 9

ている「東窯」の製品ではないかという説を示しため、今日でも「東窯」タイ プという名で呼ばれることがある(図版 18、19、20、21、22) 。輪花碗(図 10

版 22)や浮彫り風の刻花紋が施された水注などが特に優れていて、遼墓での出 土例が多い。 東窯タイプを生産したことから、耀州窯が五代に天青色の青磁を生産したと される「柴窯」ではないかという指摘が近年なされているが、柴窯そのものの 存在を疑問視する意見もあり、まだはっきりしたことは明らかでない。 北宋代に入ると、中国全土に数多くの窯が出現し、当時の社会をリードした 文人の美意識に適った美しい釉色、緊張感のあるフォルム、繊細な装飾などが 揃った極めて質の高い磁器が各地で生み出された。 耀州窯では、東窯タイプの青磁生産は短期間で終わり、北宋前期には、耀州 窯特有の灰白色の緻密な胎土が使われるようになり、釉もやや黄色みを帯びた オリーブグリーンに変化する(図版 27、28)。この釉色の変化は、この頃から 薪にかわって石炭燃料の使用が一般的になったことが原因と考えられている。 また、同じ頃から流麗な刻花紋が多用されるようになり(図版 28)、北宋中期 には碗や盤の内面全体を陶範(型)にあてて紋様を施す印花紋も使われるよう になった。

174


北宋中後期から、河南省の多くの窯で耀州窯の影響を受けた青磁が生産され るようになり、黄河中流域一帯に耀州窯系青磁の生産地が拡がる。その原因 は、北宋朝が首都を河南省中部の開封に置き、政治の中心が陝西から河南地域 に移ったことによると考えられる。この時期に開封を中心とする河南省一帯に、 首都およびその周辺へ陶磁器を供給する生産地が数多く成立したが、それらの 主要な製品として耀州窯系青磁・磁州窯系陶磁などが生産されたのである。な お、耀州窯系青磁の生産地の拡大以後も、耀州窯はその中心的位置を占め続け、 河南諸窯に比べて上質の青磁を生産して、耀州窯系青磁生産の中心として栄え た。

3.汝窯、南宋官窯 北宋末期の 11 世紀末から 12 世紀初頭になると、隆盛を誇った耀州窯も河南 諸窯への影響力が弱まり、華北の青磁生産の中心的な位置から外れていった。 替って中心となるのが河南省宝豊県清涼寺窯:汝窯である。 汝窯(清涼寺窯)は、北宋前期には耀州窯系青磁や磁州窯系陶器の生産を主 体としていたが、北宋後期に中国青磁の最高峰として知られる汝窯天青釉青磁 の生産を開始した 。汝窯は政府の管理下に置かれた官窯ではなかったが、北 11

宋政府の指示により皇帝用の青磁を焼成した民窯であったと考えられている。 汝窯天青釉青磁の特徴である美しい空色の天青釉と全面施釉された外底面に 残る微小な目跡は、五代・耀州窯青磁の特徴と近似している。また焼成技術も、 本焼の前に素焼きをしてから施釉する技法や薪燃料の使用といった点が五代以 前の耀州窯と共通する。両者には年代的に 50 年近くの開きがあり、直接的な 影響は考えられないが、復古的な意識で五代の天青釉青磁の模倣が行なわれ、 その技術が再現されて汝窯青磁が生み出された可能性が高い。なお、汝窯青磁 は越州窯秘色青磁と同様に薪燃料によって強還元で焼成されており、積み上げ た匣鉢の外側に泥を塗って外部の空気が匣鉢の中に侵入することを防ぐ工夫が なされている。 汝窯天青釉青磁では唐・宋に流行したガラス器や金銀器などを写した器種と ともに、戦国・漢頃の青銅礼器を写した器種が新たに生み出された。北宋時代 の中国では古代の儒教儀礼の再現を目的として金石学が発達し、青銅器など古

175


器を複製する材料は古代と同じ青銅に限定され、汝窯青磁では商周礼器の複製 が行われることはなかった。汝窯で複製した青銅器は商周代より千年以上も後 の漢代の礼器に限定されており、それらは礼器としてではなく、皇帝の玩古趣 味(古物趣味)を満たすために作られたと考えられる 。 12

北宋末期に汝窯天青釉青磁の生産は終わり、その技術は汝窯に隣接する張公 巷窯や鈞窯(図版 32)に引き継がれ、天青釉色の青磁生産は金代になっても 続いた。 金が北宋朝を滅ぼしたのち、南宋朝が成立して臨安(杭州)に首都を置くと、 臨安に南宋官窯が設立され、汝窯のイメージを引き継いだ天青釉青磁が生産さ れるようになった。 前述したように、五代から北宋初期に最盛期を迎えた越州窯は、北宋後期に は技術が衰え始め、南宋初期に南宋官窯青磁の前身に位置づけられる粉青色釉 の上質の青磁(低嶺頭類型と呼ばれる、寺龍口窯などで生産を確認) を生産 13

したのを最後に急激に衰退し、替って南宋の都・臨安(杭州)に設けられた南 宋官窯と浙江省南部の龍泉窯が南宋代の華南の青磁生産の中心となった。汝窯 の素焼き・天青釉などの技術と器形、意匠は、宋朝の南遷に伴って開かれた南 宋官窯に引き継がれていった。 南宋官窯は、古くから知られている郊壇下官窯 あると確認された老虎洞窯

のほか、近年修内司官窯で

の二ヶ所が発見されている。老虎洞窯では伝統的

な江南の窯である龍窯とともに、華北の饅頭窯が発見されており、それまで江 南では行なわれてこなかった素焼き技術が用いられていることから、明らかに 華北の窯業技術の導入が窺えるのである。もちろんすべての技術が華北から伝 えられたのではなく、本焼成は江南の龍窯を用い、また汝窯では使われること のなかった黒い胎土を用いて、紫口鉄足(口縁部の釉が薄い部分は胎土の黒い 色が透けて紫色になり、高台の無釉部分は黒色の胎土が見えるという意味)と 「薄胎厚釉」 呼ばれる南宋官窯独特の雰囲気の青磁を作り上げた(図版 35)。また、 と呼ばれる薄い胎土の上に釉を厚くかける技術が確立した。これは、複数回に わけて釉掛けを行なう「多層釉掛け」の技法によるもので、この技法は汝窯で は認められず、南宋官窯で初めて認められ、龍泉窯にも伝わっている。 南宋官窯で生産された青磁の器種は、汝窯から引き継いだものが多く、碗や 皿などの実用器種のほか、汝窯で生み出された戦国・漢の青銅礼器や唐・宋の ガラス・金銀器を模倣した器種を生産した。さらに加えて、商周の青銅礼器を 写した器種の生産が始まり、青磁による礼器生産が本格的に開始された(図 版 35)。北宋代には、神聖視された商周青銅礼器の複製は、青銅のみで行われ、

176


磁器での複製はまったく行われた形跡がない。恐らく、神聖な青銅礼器を他の 素材で複製することは敢えて行わなかったのであろう。ところが南遷に伴い宮 廷の青銅礼器が失われたことを契機として、陶磁器による商周青銅礼器の複製 が開始されたと考えられる。 南宋官窯青磁の生産は、老虎洞窯(修内司窯)では 12 世紀中頃から南宋末 まで継続して行われていた可能性が高く、元代になっても同じ場所で南宋官窯 風の青磁生産が続けられ、元代の製品は哥窯とする説もある。

4.龍泉窯青磁 浙江省南部に位置する龍泉窯は、越州窯や越州窯系の甌窯の影響により開窯 し、北宋代から独自の特徴を持った青磁生産を開始した。北宋前期の龍泉窯製 品には釉色が灰色や灰白に近い淡い色調(淡青釉)の青磁があり、大きな特徴 となっている(図版 24)。この淡青釉青磁は、同時代に越州窯で焼かれた秘色 青磁を意識して生産されたものではないかと考えられる 。龍泉窯の淡青色釉 16

青磁の釉がやや厚くなった部分の釉色は、秘色青磁の若草色の釉色と近いもの があり、龍泉窯で秘色青磁を作ろうと試みて生み出されたのが淡青色釉青磁な のかもしれない。龍泉窯に関する最も早い文献記録である北宋末・庄綽『鶏肋 編』には『処州龍泉県……又出青瓷器,謂之秘色。銭氏所貢,盖取于此。』。(訳: 処州龍泉県は……また青瓷(磁)器もあるが、所謂秘色である。銭氏がこの地 で焼造したものを貢納する。)とある。この記載については、秘色青磁を生産 した越州窯と混同されたものであり、龍泉窯のことを正確に描写したのではな いという考え方もあるが、北宋初期の淡青釉青磁を龍泉窯の「秘色」と捉えれ ば、北宋時代の龍泉窯の実像をある程度反映した記載とすることができる。 北宋時代の製品には、碗、皿、水注、瓶類などの実用器種のほか、副葬用の 明器として作られた装飾瓶がある。初期の龍泉窯青磁を特徴づけるのは、この えい

明器の一群である。肩の部分に 5 本の口を付けた多嘴瓶と甖と呼ばれる副葬用 の盤口瓶(図版 24)が作られ、この二器種がセットとなって副葬されること が多かったようである。多嘴瓶は当時「五穀倉」と呼ばれ、五穀豊穣を象徴す る副葬用器であり、江南地域で後漢時代以前から続く土俗的な埋葬儀礼に関わ る明器である。甖(盤口瓶)は唐時代の越州窯で副葬用器として盛んに作られ ており、龍泉窯の甖はその系譜を引き継いだ江南独特の明器である。なお、こ うした龍泉窯青磁の明器の系譜は南宋時代後期から元代頃まで続いている(図 版 30、31)。南宋の甖には蓋を伴うものが多く、蓋のつまみには、犬が貼り付 けられているもの(図版 30)と鶏が貼り付けられたもの(図版 31)とがある。

177


この 2 種類がセットで出土することが多いが、これは中国南方の魔よけの習俗 を反映しているらしい。後漢末の応劭が著した『風俗通義』 (または『風俗通』 ) 巻八の「雄鶏」の条に「門戸用鶏也(門戸に鶏を用いる也)」との記載があり、 同じく『風俗通義』巻八には「殺狗磔邑四門(狗(犬)を殺し、邑(村)の四 門に磔(はりつけ)にする) 」の条もあり、後漢代に雄鶏と犬が門の守り神と されていたことがわかる。龍泉窯青磁甖の蓋の犬と鶏は、こうした習俗が南宋 まで続いていたことを示しているのかもしれない。 龍泉窯青磁の海外輸出は北宋代末期に始まり、南宋中期の 12 世紀後半にな ると輸出が本格化する。この頃の製品は、技術や意匠は越州窯系の流れの中に 位置づけられるものであり、当時華北で流行していた耀州窯の意匠の影響も及 んでいる。 南宋代の 12 世紀中頃から、南宋官窯の技術影響を受けて「多層釉掛け技法」 による製品が龍泉の渓口・瓦窯垟窯や小梅窯などで生産された 。それらの製 17

品は窯址では出土しているが、消費遺跡での出土は稀で、大規模な流通はして いなかった可能性が高い。龍泉窯の「多層釉掛け技法」による製品の生産が本 格化するのは南宋中期の 12 世紀末から 13 世紀前半で、「薄胎厚釉」の粉青色 青磁を生産するようになり、製品の質を大きく高めて中国最大の青磁生産地に 発展した。粉青色青磁は、汝窯・南宋官窯で作られた青銅礼器や唐・宋のガラ ス・金銀器を模倣した器種と近似した製品が主で、日本では「砧青磁」と呼ば れて特に珍重されている。なお、龍泉の大窯や渓口窯では南宋官窯の製品と近 似した黒胎の青磁が確認されており、龍泉窯でも宮廷用の青磁が生産された可 能性が高いと考えられている。また、龍泉窯では南宋官窯の影響を受けた「薄 胎厚釉」の粉青色青磁の生産が始まったのちも、越州窯の系譜を引き継いだ「厚 胎薄釉」の青緑色青磁を粗製品として生産し続けた。 南宋代の華南では海に面して陶磁器の輸出に適した浙江、福建、広東などの 地域で莫大な数の窯が開かれ、特に福建では龍泉窯青磁の粗製の模倣品が多く の窯で生産され、その製品の多くは海外に輸出された。

5.高麗青磁 高麗青磁は、中国・越州窯青磁の技術が 10 世紀に朝鮮半島に移植されて誕 生した。そのため初期の段階には越州窯と近似した青磁が作られたが、11 世 ひしょく

紀末頃には中国の汝窯天青釉青磁の影響などにより、翡色と呼ばれた極めて質 の高い青磁が作られるようになった。12 世紀になると新たな装飾技法である 象嵌が盛行し、高麗青磁独特の世界が確立したのである。

178


最初期の高麗青磁・白磁を生産した窯は、朝鮮半島の中西部に分布し、黄海 道峰泉郡円山里窯址、京畿道龍仁市西里窯址、京畿道始興市芳山洞窯址、京畿 道驪州郡中岩里窯址(白磁窯)などが発掘調査されている。いずれも中国の越 州窯のものとよく似た塼築窯と呼ばれるレンガ積みの龍窯(細長いトンネル状 の窯)と五代(910 ~ 960 年)の越州窯青磁と近似した製品と窯道具が発見さ れており、それまでの朝鮮半島の土築窯(窖窯)を用いた陶器生産とは全く異 なった技術体系であることから、越州窯の工人が直接朝鮮半島に渡って来て青 磁技術を伝えたと考えられている。 初期の高麗青磁・白磁では蛇目高台碗と呼ばれる幅の広い高台と直線的に斜 めにひらく体部をもった碗が特徴的な製品であるが、最初期の窯址では、蛇目 高台碗の出土する層位よりも下層から、蛇目高台よりも高台幅が狭い碗が出土 しており、 「先蛇目高台碗」という名で呼ばれている。近年の研究では先蛇目 高台碗が最も古く、次いで内底面に平坦面をもたない「内底曲面式蛇目高台碗」 が出現、さらに内底面に平坦面(鏡)をもつ「内底円刻式蛇目高台碗」(図版

36、37、38、39、41) へ と 変 遷 す る と さ れ ている 。 18

かつては、蛇目高台碗が中国・越州窯で 9 世紀に作られた玉璧底碗の器形と近似する として、蛇目高台碗に 9 世紀の年代が与え られたことがあるが 、近年では蛇目高台碗 19

に先行する先蛇目高台碗が越州窯で 10 世紀 に作られた玉環底碗を模した器形として捉 える説が主流となり、高麗青磁の出現時期 は 10 世紀とされるようになっている 。 20

晩唐から五代、北宋初期の越州窯青磁の 碗の器形の変化を見ると、8 世紀末頃に、高 台径がかなり大きく、器高が低く、器壁が やや厚めの器形として出現し、9 世紀を通じ て次第に高台径が小さくなって器高が高ま り、五代に入ると、さらにその傾向が強まる とともに高台幅が狭まって、玉環底と呼ば れる器形へと変化する。五代末から北宋に なると高台径と高台幅がさらに小さくなり、 器壁も薄くなって、斗笠碗と呼ばれる笠を

逆さにした形態の碗へと変化する 。 21

高麗青磁の、先蛇目高台碗から内底曲面式蛇目高台碗への器形的変化は、高 台が太くなると同時に底径が小さく、器高が高くなるというもので、高台の幅 が広くなる変化以外は、越州窯の玉環底碗から斗笠碗への器形変化とほぼ一致 する。こうしたことから、高麗青磁の蛇目高台碗は、中国における碗形態の時 代による変化をかなり忠実にトレースしている要素が強く認められるのであ る。また、内底円刻式蛇目高台碗の内底部の平坦面(鏡)(図版 36、37、38、

39、41)については、越州窯の北宋代の斗笠碗では顕著な平坦面の形成は認め られないが、越州窯とともに初期高麗青磁に影響を与えた耀州窯の北宋初期の

19、20、21)には顕著な平坦面(鏡)が認められ、 斗笠碗(東窯タイプ) (図版 18、 高麗青磁碗の内底の平坦面は耀州窯からの影響による可能性も考えられる 。 22

前述したように越州窯青磁の玉璧底碗は喫茶用に用いられた碗であり、五代 の玉環高台碗や宋代の斗笠碗も玉璧高台碗のこうした茶碗としての機能を引き 継いでいると考えて問題ないであろう。こうしたことから越州窯の工人が直接 技術を伝えたとされる高麗青磁の先蛇目高台碗も、茶碗として生産されたもの であろう。

1123 年に北宋から高麗への国信使の随員として高麗に来た徐兢が著した『宣 和奉使高麗図経』(1124 年撰)には、高麗では近年「翡色」と呼ばれる緑青色 の美しい青磁が作られ(「陶器色之青者、麗人謂之翡色、近年以来制作工巧、 色沢尤佳」『宣和奉使高麗図経』巻第三十二

陶尊の条)、越州窯の秘色青磁、

汝窯青磁とほぼ同じである(「越州古秘色、汝州新窰器、大概相類」『宣和奉使 高麗図経』巻第三十二

陶爐の条)と記されている。こうした文献記録から、

高麗青磁に越州窯と汝窯の影響が及んでいたことが古くから知られていたが、 近年中国河南省で汝窯(清涼寺窯)の発掘調査が行われ、これまで伝世品の汝 窯天青釉青磁では知られていなかったさまざまな器種が窯址から出土し 、そ 23

の多くに高麗青磁の器形との共通性が認められることから、あらためて汝窯青 磁が高麗青磁に及ぼした影響の大きさが確認された。

12 世紀頃の高麗青磁の中で汝窯の影響を受けたと思われる器種を挙げると、 、鴛鴦蓋香炉、獅子蓋香炉、蓮花形香炉(挿図 6)、面取鶴首 長頸瓶(挿図 5) 、梅瓶(図版 50)、套盒、丸胴の水注、 瓶、鶴首瓶、砧形瓶(挿図 7、図版 54) 菊花形碗(温碗) 、平底洗、蓮弁紋洗、蓮弁紋碗、托などがある。ただし、高 麗青磁では汝窯天青釉青磁の器形は忠実に写しているが、汝窯の天青釉の色調 を模すことはなく、青緑色の美しい翡色釉が採用されている。高麗青磁の翡色 釉の色調は、三国時代の王冠の装飾などに用いられた翡翠(硬玉)の色調によ く似ており、中国では産出しない翡翠の色調をあえて意識して生み出されたの かもしれない 。 24

汝窯の影響によって成立した器種のほかに北宋の越州窯からの影響による鸚 鵡紋鉢(図版 64)などもあるが、こうした越州窯秘色青磁、汝窯青磁を写した 器種が 1123 年に徐兢が高麗で見た翡色青磁の主要なものであったと思われる。 高麗王朝は、建国当初から中国の礼楽や文物の導入に熱心で、962 年の国交 開始から 1030 年までは北宋への朝貢を断続 的ではあるが続けた。1030 年から 70 年まで は遼の圧力などによって関係が断絶したが、

1071 年再び朝貢関係が回復すると、北宋が 金に滅ぼされる 1127 年までの 47 年間、中 国の明州(寧波)や蜜州を通じて両国は密 接な関係を保ち、朝貢関係を基とした政府 間の交流と経済、文化交流が盛んとなった。 この時期はちょうど汝窯の成立期と重なり、 こうした両国の密接な交流の中で、宋皇帝の ために作られた汝窯青磁に倣って、高麗王 のための什器として高麗翡色青磁が生み出 されたのである。高麗翡色青磁と汝窯の器 形の近似性の高さからみて、高麗青磁の工 人たちは実際の汝窯青磁を見ながら翡色青 磁を作った可能性が高い。文献記録も実物 資料も残されていないが、この時期の皇帝 である神宗(在位 1067 ~ 85)、哲宗(在位

1085 ~ 1100)、徽宗(在位 1100 ~ 25)のう

と下賜されていた可能性があるのではないかと考えられる 。 25

南宋代になると宋朝と高麗朝との交流は、北宋後期のように順調でなく、建 国直後の 1128 年に南宋が使節を高麗に派遣し、30 年代から 60 年代に両国間 で使者の往来が数回あったが、1173 年を境に政府間の交流は途絶した。一方、 商人など民間の交流は、明州(寧波)を窓口として比較的盛んで、『高麗史』 の記載では、1128 年から 1278 年の間に宋船が高麗に来航した記録は 34 回で、 来航延べ人数は 1897 人に達する 。 26

このように両国政府間の交流が北宋後期ほどには盛んではなかった中で、北 宋後期の汝窯青磁の位置づけを引き継いで南宋の皇帝のために作られた南宋官 窯青磁の影響は、高麗青磁にほとんど及ぶことがなかった。高麗青磁は北宋が 滅びるまでは汝窯青磁の器形や器種構成をかなり忠実に模倣していたが、1127 年に北宋が滅んでから約 20 年を経た 12 世紀中頃前後に開窯された南宋官窯青 磁で新たに生み出された鼎、方鼎、尊、鬲(袴腰香炉)、觚などの商周青銅器に倣っ た器種の影響は高麗青磁ではほとんど認められない。鼎、方鼎は高麗青磁でも 作られているが、その器形や紋様には、華北の耀州窯青磁や定窯白磁との共通 性が濃厚で、南宋官窯からの影響とは考えられない。 一方、かつて南宋の都が置かれた浙江省・杭州や高麗朝との交流の窓口となっ た寧波では、近年多量の高麗青磁が発見されており 、しかも高麗王墓から出 27

土するような極めて上質な翡色青磁が少なくない。宋代の出版とされる『袖中 錦』 (宋太平老人)では、「定窯白磁」とともに「高麗秘色」を天下第一に挙げ ており、南宋代の中国で高麗青磁が高い評価を受けていたことが、文献資料と 出土遺物の双方から裏付けられるようになった。

10 世紀から 12 世紀初頭の高麗青磁は、越州窯、耀州窯、汝窯など中国青 磁の強い影響下にあり、その中で翡色と呼ばれる優れた青磁を生み出したが、

1127 年の北宋滅亡を契機に宋文化の影響力が低下する中で、高麗青磁は汝窯 などの中国青磁の呪縛から離れ、独自の器形と象嵌などの装飾技法を発達させ て、中国青磁とは一線を画した高麗青磁独特の様式が確立したのである。

おわりに 実用性と美しさを兼ね備えた青磁の生産は、唐代の 8 世紀後半頃に越州窯で 始まった。9 世紀後半に皇帝のための青磁である秘色青磁が誕生すると、その 影響は五代の耀州窯青磁に及び、さらには汝窯にまで繋がる。北宋後期に皇帝 のための磁器として生み出された汝窯天青釉青磁は、五代末から北宋初期の耀 州窯天青釉青磁のイメージと技術を再現しているが、同時に金石学の影響を受

けて漢代の青銅礼器を模した新しい青磁の器種を生み出した。北宋が滅びて南 宋朝になると首都・臨安(杭州)に官窯が設けられ、汝窯のイメージを再現す るだけでなく、商周青銅礼器を模した新たな器種を生み出した。汝窯や南宋官 窯で創生された古代礼器を再現した器種は、龍泉窯青磁に継承され、元・明以 降にも続いた。盛んに海外に輸出された龍泉窯青磁を通じて世界各地の陶磁製 品に大きな影響を与え、日本でも現代の香炉や花瓶の形態にその影響が少なか らず窺える。 中国で唐・五代・宋代に大きく発展した上質の青磁は、文字どおり世界中の 陶磁生産に強い影響を及ぼし、それは今日の陶磁文化の中に脈々と生き続けて いるのである。 (もり

Tang, Five Dynasties and Song Celadon – Focusing on Yuezhou, Yaozhou and Longquan Wares Mori Tatsuya

NB: Unless indicated by the addition of the Chinese characters for the homymous Hunan province kiln name, all references to Yuezhou in this text refer to the wares made by the kilns located in Zhejiang province.

The mid-Tang to Song dynasties (latter half of the 8th century–13th century) marked a period of major developments in Chinese celadon wares. Prior to that time ceramics were not the highest-ranking decorative art, but rather, were positioned in status beneath jade, gold-silver wares, bronzes (sahari), lacquer and glass wares. More so than use in everyday life, the trend was for ceramics to be used as grave goods. But soon after the An Lushan Rebellion (755-763), as the Tang dynasty began its decline, in the 9th century the Yue kilns created so-called mise qingci, literally secret color celadon. This meant that celadon came to be one

of the highest-ranking decorative arts for use by the emperor, the most powerful in the land. During the early Northern Song the mise qingci of the Yue kilns were made for the emperorʼs use, and in the late Northern Song the wares produced by the Ru kilns superseded them. In the Southern Song, this role was taken over by the celadons produced by the imperial kilns and the Longquan kilns. With the creation of celadon for the late Tang period emperors, those works then influenced the celadons then being produced for ordinary people, which in turn led to major developments both in celadon design and production technology. In a slightly early period, Yuezhou kiln celadon, the white porcelains of the Xing and Gongyi kilns, late Tang sancai, and Changsha ceramics were all exported in large numbers. Their high quality and beauty came to be known across a broad geographical area as a result of the massive export of Chinese ceramics to East Asia, Southeast Asia, West Asia, the Mediterranean and East Africa. In turn, each region began to produce their own imitations of these Chinese ceramics. In this essay I will provide an overview of the changes that took place

186


during this major development period in Chinese celadon while also introducing the information gained through the latest kiln site excavation reports. In the final section, I will also touch on the Goryeo celadons that were created after the transmission of Chinese celadon technology to the Korean Peninsula.

1. The Development of Yuezhou Celadon and Birth of Mise Qingci Celadon production flourished in various northern Zhejiang province locales from the Later Han to the Three Kingdoms periods (1st century-280 AD) onwards. In Japan,

celadon produced prior to the first half of the Tang dynasty is known as koetsuji, literally old Yue porcelain. In the latter half of the 8th century, Cixi, Shanglinhu and the surrounding area began to produce large quantities of high quality celadon whose thin-walled, symmetrical vessel shapes combined both practical functionality and beauty. The wares from that period onwards are known in Japan as esshūyō seiji, literally celadons of the Yuezhou kilns. In China they are known as Yueyao qingci. The Yue ware celadons from the mid-Tang to the late Tang were produced in functional use vessel forms, from bowls (pls. 1, 2, 3) to dishes (pls. 4, 5, 6, 7), basins, large bowls, saucers

and stands, covered boxes (pl. 8), jars with four feet (pl. 9), ewers, jars (pl. 10) and spittoons (pl. 11). A small number of long-necked bottles called ying were produced as grave goods. The glaze on most of these works was a slightly yellowish tinged, greenish-blue color. Some bowls and dishes are adorned with incised designs on their inner surfaces (pl. 4). These products thus imitated the designs on gold-silver vessels of the same period (fig. 1). There were many bowls created with straight-sided walls, which rose diagonally to the mouth rim, and a wide,

disc-like foot with a carved inner recess. While in China this bowl type is known as yubidi wan, literally jade disk foot bowl, in Japan it is called janome kōdai wan. These yubidi wan are generally undecorated, albeit there are some rare examples with four-petal foliate rims (pl. 3). Yue celadon foliate rims were primarily four-petal during the late Tang (pls. 3, 5), and during the Five Dynasties they shifted to five-petal forms. It is thought that yubidi wan were fundamentally used for drinking tea.1 A glass bowl and a bowl stand with shapes that resemble those of yubidi wan were found in the items dedicated to Famensi in 874. The Yiwuzhang Stele,

a stone list of dedicated items, records “Liuli chawan zhe[tuo?]zi ” (瑠璃茶碗柘 [托?]子), thus stating that it was a glass bowl used for drinking tea (fig. 2).2 This glass bowl and stand is a unique item with no comparable examples known, and thus was probably made specially for the emperorʼs own use. Given that there was almost no translucent glass produced in China at that time, it may have been produced upon special commission in West Asia. Yubidi wan were first produced in the latter half of the 8th century, which

means they chronologically precede the glass bowl and bowl stand dedicated in 874. Thus, we cannot consider that this glass bowl influenced the production of

celadon yubidi wan. Conversely, yubidi wan were designated as a tea-drinking vessel shape during this period, and this glass bowl was likely commissioned and produced for tea drinking in imitation of those celadon bowls. The Cha Jing by Lu Yu was written about 760, around the same time that these yubidi wan bowls first appeared. In that book he states, to paraphrase, “Yue ware tea drinking bowls are superior, their mouth rims do not curve, the foot rings are broad and low, and they can hold less than half a sheng [approx. 100cc liquid].” This passage is thought to be a description of yubidi wan bowls. These factors thus led to the idea that Yue celadon yubidi wan bowls were made as tea drinking vessels. By the end of the 9th century, during the end of the Tang, Yue celadons even further improved in quality and the kilns began to produce what would be considered the highest quality celadons, which were called hishoku or hisoku (Ch. mise).

Fourteen high-quality celadon works were among the items excavated in 1987 from the stone chamber beneath the pagoda at Famensi, located about 120

188


km west of Xi ʼan. These celadons were part of the treasures, including gold-silver bowls, that the emperor dedicated in 874 near the end of the Tang as offerings to a Buddhist reliquary (fig. 3).3 The Yiwuzhang Stele lists “ci mise” (瓷秘色), and thus we know that the bowls were celadon and called mise. This discovery clarified the actual nature of mise celadons, which had long been solely known through textual references. The glaze on the mise celadon excavated at Famensi has a high gloss and fired beautifully to a young grassy-green color. The vessel is large, delicately formed, and extremely thin walled, resulting in a bowl that is surprisingly light when picked up. The entire surface of the bowl is unadorned, with absolutely no incised or applied decoration. The glaze color of this bowl is quite different from the yellow tinged, greenish-blue glaze generally found on Yue celadon, and its form is also of a more refined, higher quality. Recent excavations at the Housiao kiln site in Shanglinhu discovered high quality mise celadon with exactly the same characteristics as these mise celadon discovered at Famensi (fig. 4).4 Large amounts of kiln equipment, such as firing containers were excavated at this kiln site, including some firing containers incised with the characters “mise bowl made by master Luo Hu” (羅湖師秘色椀), and others incised with reign dates, such as “Xiantong” (860 –874) and “Zhonghe sannian” (883). These written materials clarify the fact that mise celadon was produced at this kiln during the late Tang. The firing containers used to hold the mise celadons in the kiln are all made of the same extremely fine-grained porcelain clay as that used for the celadon bodies themselves. This fact makes them completely different from the firing containers made of coarse clay, which were used to fire ordinary Yue celadon. Further, the areas where firing containers touch in stacking have been coated with glaze.5 This process was taken so that the container was completely sealed, no external air could enter. This meant the contained work could be fired in strong reduction conditions. Various technical innovations were employed in order to create the young grassy-green glaze of mise celadon, thus indicating the immense amount of effort that went into firing

special celadons for the emperor. Late Tang mise celadon was not decorated, and it is highly likely that the aim was to create a special form of celadon that recreated the feel of jade.6 Other than these finds at Famensi and the kiln site, late Tang mise celadon has only been excavated from the sites of aristocratic residences in the Tang capital Changʼan.

As a result, it is thought that it could only be obtained by special individuals such as the emperor and high-ranking nobility. After the fall of the Tang and the beginning of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period (907-960), the production of Yue celadon was placed under the administration of one of the Ten Kingdoms in southern China, the Wuyue Kingdom (907-978). Five Dynasties mise celadon is well known from the works excavated from the tombs of the Wuyue royal family. Mise celadon from the latter half of the Five Dynasties (latter half of the 10th century) is decorated with intricately incised designs in imitation of gold-silver wares. This meant the creation of a previously unseen form of mise celadon which combined the feel of jade with the adornment found on gold-silver works, which was then produced through the Northern Song dynasty (pl. 23).7 The Wuyue kingdom came under the dominion of the northern Five Dynasties emperors, and they presented large amounts of Yue celadon to those northern rulers. The base of each celadon work produced as an official presentation item is marked with reign date inscriptions, as seen on pl. 17 “ Taiping Dingchou” (977) and another inscribed “ Taiping Wuyin” (978), as seen on p. 40. High quality mise celadon continued to be produced during the early Northern Song. High quality works with incised dragon designs have been

190


excavated from the Northern Song imperial tombs and the tomb of Empress Yuande of the Li clan (1000) in Gongyi, Henan province.8 Thus continuing on from the Tang, the mise celadon of the early Northern Song was used by the imperial family. Yue celadon quality began to decline in the late Northern Song. The beginning of the Southern Song saw the end of celadon production at the Yuezhou kilns. Yuezhou kiln celadon technology spread not only in northern Zhejiang province, but also to the Wuzhou kilns of southern Zhejiang province, the Ou kilns (pl. 29) in the southeast of the province, and across many other regions in

southern China, including Jiangxi province, Fujian province, eastern Guangdong province, and Hunan province. These various wares are often referred to by the term Yuezhou style. The Yuezhou (岳州) kilns of Hunan province produced celadon that was heavily influenced by Tang Zhejiang province Yuezhou ware. During the Five Dynasties period, Hunan province Yuezhou celadon was characterized by four or at times five 2 –3 mm diameter round spur marks on the interior of the foot (pls. 13, 14). In the previously mentioned Cha Jing, Hunan province Yuezhou ware was

mentioned as “For bowls, Zhejiang Yuezhou is the best, followed by Dingzhou, Wuzhou, Hunan province Yuezhou, Shouzhou-Hongzhou.” Thus, the Hunan province Yuezhou kilns were known to have produced superior celadon works during the Tang dynasty.

2. The Development of Yaozhou Celadon After the Tang fell and the Five Dynasties - Ten Kingdoms period began, northern Zhejiang province, home to the Yuezhou kilns, fell under the dominion of the Wuyue kingdom. The Wuyue kingdom presented large numbers of Yuezhou celadons to northern dynasties, while, compared to numbers seen in the Tang dynasty, the amount of Yuezhou celadon that flowed to recipients in northern China declined. Amid such circumstances, the Yaozhou kilns (also known during the Tang as the Huangbao kilns), which delivered various roughly made ceramic wares to the Tang capital of Changʼan, are thought to have set out

191


to create high quality celadon to supplement the inadequate supply of Yuezhou celadon. In the late Five Dynasties period the Yaozhou kilns produced a somewhat higher grade celadon which used a rough brown clay, covered with a white slip and then coated in a tianqing colored glaze. In the early Northern Song (latter half of the 10th century), they were able to produce high quality celadon with white body clay and beautiful tianqing glaze, a ware type with a unique feel not previously achieved.9 Koyama Fujio previously suggested that this type of celadon is the “Dongyao” mentioned in the Song Huiyao, and thus today this type is still referred to as Dongyao-type (pls. 18, 19, 20, 21, 22).10 The foliate rim bowls (pl. 22) and ewers decorated with relief style incised designs are particularly superb in

this ware type, with many excavated examples found at Liao tombs. Given that they produced Dongyao type wares, in recent years some have suggested that these kilns might have been the Chai kilns which produced tianqing color celadon during the Five Dynasties. However, there is also the view

that questions the existence of the Chai kilns themselves, so this issue has not yet been fully clarified. At the beginning of the Northern Song, numerous kilns were set up throughout China, and various regions were able to produce extremely high-quality porcelain works whose beautiful glaze color, taut form and delicate decoration suited the literati aesthetic then dominant in society. The Yaozhou kilnsʼ production of Dongyao type celadon ended after a short period. In the early Northern Song, they began to use the distinctive Yaozhou ashy white, fine-grained body clay, and the glaze color changed to a slightly yellowish tinged, olive-green color (pls. 27, 28). The changes in glaze color are thought to derive from the change around this period from wood to coal as a fuel source. Around this same period, they also began to frequently use flowing, elegant, incised designs (pl. 28). In the mid-Northern Song they also began to use stamped designs, with the entire inner surface of a bowl or dish pressed onto a ceramic mold for design transfer. From the mid and late Northern Song, most of the kilns in Henan province began to produce celadon influenced by Yaozhou ware, and the production region for Yaozhou type celadon spread across the central Yellow River region. This production area is thought to have been caused by the location of the Northern Song capital, Kaifeng, in central Henan province, and the shift of the

192


political center from Shanxi province to the Henan region. During this period a large number of production sites, which supplied ceramic wares to the capital and its surrounds, were established in a section of Henan province. Yaozhou type celadon and Jizhou type pottery were the main products made by these kilns. Even after the production area of Yaozhou type celadon expanded, the Yaozhou kilns themselves continued to occupy a central position, producing higher quality celadon than that made by the various Henan kilns, and thus prospering as the center of Yaozhou type celadon production.

3. Ru Ware and the Southern Song Imperial Kilns From the late Northern Song, in other words, the end of the 11th century through the early 12th century, the influence of the Yaozhou kilns on the various Henan kilns began to wane, and the Yaozhou kilns lost their central position in celadon production in northern China. In their place, the Ru kilns (Qingliangsi kilns, Baofeng county, Henan province) took up the central role. During the early Northern Song the Ru kilns (Qingliangsi kilns) primarily produced Yaozhou type celadon and Jizhou type pottery, and then in the late Northern Song they began to produce the Ru ware tianqing glaze celadon viewed as the pinnacle achievement in Chinese celadon.11 The Ru kilns were not official kilns managed by the government, rather, they are thought to have been privately run kilns that produced celadon for the emperorʼs use under the direction of the Northern Song government. Ru tianqing celadon characteristics, namely the lovely sky-blue tianqing glaze and the extremely small spur marks that remain on the foot exterior of the otherwise entirely glazed surface, resemble the characteristics of Five Dynasties Yaozhou celadon. In terms of firing techniques, they followed a bisque firing, glazing and then full firing process, and used wood as fuel, features both shared with pre-Five Dynasties Yaozhou ware. There is an approximately 50 -year gap between the Yaozhou and Ru kiln production periods, and thus we cannot consider direct influence. It is, however, highly likely that a revivalist sensibility led the Ru kilns to imitate the Five Dynasties tianqing glaze celadon and recreate their production techniques, resulting in Ru ware celadon. This Ru ware celadon, like Yuezhou mise celadon, was fired with wood fuel in a strong reduction atmosphere, and mud was pasted on the exterior of the stacked firing containers

193


to prevent external air from entering the firing container. Ru tianqing glaze celadon both used vessel types from the glass and gold-silver wares that were fashionable in the Tang and Song, and also developed new vessel types that copied bronze ritual vessels from around the Warring States period and Han dynasty. During the Northern Song epigraphy flourished in China as they sought to recreate ancient Confucian rituals, and this led to a heightened awareness of ancient artifacts such as bronzes. Illustrated compilations of ancient ritual vessels, such as Kaogutu by Lu Dalin (1092), and Xuanhe Bogutu, were compiled by command of emperor Huizong during the Daguan era (11071110). During Huizongʼs reign (1100 -1125) the production of bronzes imitating

Shang and Zhou bronzes flourished and they were used for ritual purposes. However, bronze, as used in the originals, was the only material allowed for use in the replication of these Shang and Zhou bronzes, which were considered to be divine. This meant that replicas of Shang and Zhou bronzes were not made out of Ru celadon. The replicas of bronzes made at the Ru kilns were limited to the ritual vessels of the Han dynasty, more than a millennium later than the Shang and Zhou dynasties. These Ru replicas are thought to have been made not for use as ritual vessels but rather to satisfy the antiquarian tastes of the emperor.12 The production of Ru tianqing glaze celadon ended in the late Northern Song, and its techniques were taken up and continued in the nearby Zhanggongxiang kilns and Jun kilns (pl. 32). This meant that the production of celadon with tianqing glaze color continued into the Jin dynasty. After the Jin dynasty overthrew the Northern Song, the Southern Song moved the capital to Linʼan (Hangzhou), established Southern Song imperial kilns there, and produced tianqing celadon that took up and continued the Ru ware style. As noted above, the Yuezhou kilns saw their most successful run during the Five Dynasties to early Northern Song periods. Their technology declined in the late Northern Song and the production of the powder blue-colored glaze, high quality celadons (called dilingtou type confirmed to have been produced at the Silongkou kilns and others),13 which preceded the Southern Song imperial kiln celadon, finally abruptly worsened. In their place, the Southern Song imperial kilns established in the Southern Song capital of Linʼan (Hangzhou) and the Longquan kilns in southern Zhejiang became the center of celadon production

194


in southern China. The Ru kilnʼs bisque firing, tianqing glaze and other technologies, along with their vessel shapes and design concepts, were continued by the Southern Song imperial kilns when the Song dynasty moved south. Two sites of the Southern Song imperial kilns have been discovered, the long-known Jiaotanxia official kilns14 and the Laohudong kilns,15 which were recently confirmed to be the Xiuneisi official kilns. The Laohudong kilns included the long kiln type, the traditional Jiangnan style of kiln, along with the northern Chinese style of mantou kiln type. This meant that they used the bisque firing technique, which had not previously been found in Jiangnan, a clear indication of the introduction of northern Chinese kiln technologies. Of course not all of the technologies were transferred from northern China. The main firing of glazed ceramics was conducted in Jiangnan at kilns that used the long kiln type. Also, they used black body clay that had not been used at the Ru kilns. This allowed the Southern Song imperial kilns to create celadon with a distinctive feel thanks to the so-called shikō tessoku effect, literally purple mouth, iron feet, in which the dark clay appears purplish beneath the thin glaze at the mouth rim and shows as black clay in the unglazed areas of the foot (pl. 35). These kilns also established the technique known as botai houyou, applying thick glaze (in other words, applying multiple layers of glaze) over a thinly made body. Not found at the Ru kilns, this technique was first discerned at the Southern Song imperial kilns and also transmitted to the Longquan kilns. The vessel types created by the Southern Song official kilns were inherited and continued on many of those used at the Ru kilns. In addition to bowls and dishes for actual use, they also produced vessel types that imitated the Ru ware copies of Warring States and Han ritual bronzes, as well as Tang and Song glass and gold-silver vessels. They began to create vessel types that copied Shang and Zhou ritual bronzes, marking the first full production of ritual vessel production in celadon (pl. 35). Given the Northern Song belief in the divine nature of Shang and Zhou ritual bronzes, during that period they were only copied in bronze, and there are absolutely no traces of celadon reproduction of those forms. The reproduction of divine ritual bronzes probably did not occur in other materials. However, we can consider the move to the south meant the rulers lost the imperial courtʼs ritual bronzes and the need to replace them provided the opportunity to begin making replicas of Shang and Zhou ritual bronzes in porcelain.

195


It is highly likely that the production of Southern Song official kiln celadon at the Laohudong kilns (the Xiuneisi kilns) occurred from the mid-12th century through the late Southern Song. There is also a theory that states that even during the Yuan dynasty, Southern Song style celadon production continued in the same location, and that Yuan dynasty wares were what we call Ge kiln wares.

4. Longquan Celadon The Longquan kilns located in southern Zhejiang province were opened under influence from the Yuezhou kilns and the Yuezhou type Ou kilns. They began to create distinctive celadon in the Northern Song. In Longquan ware of the early Northern Song, the predominant characteristic is the pale, close to ash or ashy white, glaze color, which is called danqing, literally pale blue (pl. 24). This danqing glaze celadon could be thought to have been created with the full awareness of the mise celadon being produced at the same time in the Yuezhou kilns.16 The thick areas of this Longquan danqing glaze celadon glaze approaches the young grass, yellowish-green color of mise celadon. Longquan danqing glaze celadon might have been the Longquanʼs attempts to create a mise celadon. Jilei bian by Zhuang Chuo of the late Northern Song is the first written record of

Longquan ware. In that text he states, to paraphrase, “ There are also blue celadon vessels in Chuzhou Longquan, and they are what is called mise color. The Qian family, the royal family of the Wuyue kingdom, presented works fired in this region.” There is also the view that this quotation confuses the Longquan kilns and the Yuezhou kilns that produced mise celadon and thus does not actually describe Longquan ware. However, if we take it to mean that early Northern Song danqing glaze celadon was Longquanʼs mise form, then it can be seen as a text that

to some degree reflects the actual situation at the Northern Song Longquan kilns. Northern Song Longquan products include functional vessel types such as bowls, dishes, ewers and vases, along with decorated vases made as grave goods. This group of grave goods is one of the characteristic features of early Longquan celadon. They made duozuiping vases with five openings on their shoulder, and a grave good vase type called qian, which has a flat, plate-like mouth rim (pl. 24). There are many instances where a duozuiping /qian pair was used as grave

goods. Duozuiping vases were called wugucang, literally five grain storehouses, and were grave goods meant to symbolize fertile crops of the five grain types.

196


This vase type was used as grave goods in local Jiangnan region burial practices from before the late Han dynasty. The qian (flat-rimmed vase) was often made in the Tang dynasty Yuezhou kilns as grave goods, and the Longquan qian followed that lineage to become Jiangnanʼs own distinctive grave goods. This lineage of Longquan celadon grave goods extended from the late Southern Song to around the Yuan dynasty (pls. 30, 31). There are many instances of a Southern Song qian accompanied by a lid. The lid knob is an applied dog-shaped form on pl. 30, and a chicken-shaped form on pl. 31. There are many instances of a pair of these two types excavated as a set, and it seems that they reflected the warding off evil spirits customs of southern China. Ying Shao of the late Later Han wrote the Fengsu Tongyi (also known as Fengsu Tong). In the 8th volume of the work, the

Xiongji chapter notes, “A chicken was used at the gate.” In the same Fengsu Tongyi volume 8, a section states, “Sacrifice dogs and tack them up on the four gates of the village.” Thus we know that roosters and dogs were guardian deities for gates in the Later Han dynasty. The dog and chicken on the lids of Longquan celadon qian may indicate that this custom continued until the Southern Song dynasty.

Longquan celadons were first exported in the late Northern Song. Fullscale export of the works had developed by the latter half of the 12th century, the mid-Southern Song dynasty. The products around this period can be positioned in the Yuezhou type lineage in terms of technique and designs and they were also influenced by the designs of the Yaozhou kilns then popular in northern China. Starting around the mid-12th century during the Southern Song, Longquan potters developed a multilayered glazing technique influenced by Southern Song official kiln technology and began to use this method to produce works at the Xikou kiln, the Wayaoyang kiln, and the Xiaomei kiln in Longquan.17 Examples of these products have been excavated from the kiln sites but are rare in consumption site excavations, making it highly likely that they were not distributed on a large scale. The main production period of Longquanʼs multilayered glaze technique products was during the mid-Southern Song, from the late 12th century to the first half of the 13th century. These works then developed into the "thin body, thick glaze" fenqing (powder blue) celadons. That major rise in product quality led to the development of these kilns as Chinaʼs largest celadon production locale. The majority of fenqing celadons were vessel types that imitated Ru ware and Southern Song official kiln replicas of ritual bronze and

Tang and Song glass, gold-silver vessel types. In Japan this type was particularly revered as kinuta celadon. Black clay celadon that resembles that of Southern Song official kiln products has been confirmed at the Da and Xikou kilns in Longquan, and thus we can consider that it was highly likely that celadons for imperial court use were also made at the Longquan kilns. And, even after the Longquan kilns began the production of "thin body, thick glaze" fenqing celadon as influenced by the Southern Song official kilns, they continued to produce second-grade “thick body, thin glaze” bluish-green colored celadons, continuing on the Yuezhou type. A massive number of kilns were opened during the Southern Song in southern China sites such as Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong, all ocean-facing areas suited to ceramics export. In particular, rough copies of Longquan celadon were produced at numerous kilns in Fujian, with the majority of those products exported.

5. Goryeo Celadon Goryeo celadon was first produced in the 10th century when celadon technology from Chinaʼs Yuezhou kilns was taken to the Korean Peninsula. As a result, the kilns there produced celadon that resembled that of the Yuezhou kilns. Then around the end of the 11th century, Goryeo celadons were influenced by Chinese Ru ware celadons, producing an extremely high grade celadon called fei se celadon, jadeite color celadon. By the 12th century inlay flourished as a

new decorative technique, and thus the unique realm of Goryeo celadon was established. The kilns that produced the first period of Goryeo celadon and white porcelain were scattered in the central west region of the Korean Peninsula, and excavations have been carried out at the kiln sites of Wonsan-li in Bongchon-gun, Hwanhae-do, Seo-li in Yongin-si, Gyeonggi-do, Bangsan-dong in Siheung-si, Gyeonggido, and Jungam-ri in Yeoju-gun, Gyeonggido (white porcelain kiln). All of these sites used the brick-built long kiln type (long, narrow upward sloping tunnel-shaped kilns) like those at Chinaʼs Yuezhou kilns. Products and kiln tools resembling those of Five Dynasties (910 -960) Yuezhou celadon have been discovered, and they represent completely different technical lineages from those used in previous Korean Peninsula clay-built kiln type (anagama). It is thought

198


that Yuezhou kiln workers went to the Korean Peninsula and brought with them the relevant celadon technology. Early period Goryeo celadon and white porcelain feature a characteristic form of janome foot bowls, with wide feet and straight, diagonal sides. However, at the earliest period kiln sites, bowls were discovered with narrower feet than the janome foot bowls -- which are called saki janome kōdai wan, literally pre-janome

feet bowls -- in the stratum below the level at which the janome foot bowls were excavated. Recent research has shown that pre-janome feet bowls are the oldest form, with janome foot bowls with a round interior base discovered as the next form, which then changed to the janome foot bowls with a flat interior base form, whose base is also called a mirror base (pls. 36, 37, 38, 39, 41).18 Previously, janome foot bowls were thought to resemble the yubidi (jade disc foot base) bowl shape made at Chinaʼs Yuezhou kilns in the 9th century, and thus scholars assigned a 9th century date to janome foot bowls.19 However, in recent years the main theory has become that the pre-janome foot bowls resemble the jade ring foot bowls made at the Yuezhou kilns in the 10th century, and thus, scholars have shifted the starting date for Goryeo celadon production to the 10th century.20 Looking at the changes in celadon bowl vessel shape that occurred from the late Tang to the Five Dynasties to the early Northern Song at the Yuezhou kilns, we can see that around the end of the 8th century a vessel shape appeared with quite a big foot diameter, short stature and relatively thick walls. Then over the course of the 9th century, gradually the feet narrowed and vessels grew taller. By the Five Dynasties, this trend further strengthened, changing to the jade ring foot vessel shape with narrow feet. The foot diameter and foot width of bowls created at the end of the Five Dynasties to the Northern

Song were even smaller still, and the bowl walls became thinner, changing to a form known as a douli wan, which resembled an upturned triangular wicker hat.21 The vessel shape change in Goryeo celadons from the pre-janome foot bowl to the curved inner surface janome foot bowls meant that the feet became thicker while at the same time the base diameter became smaller and the vessels taller. Thus other than the spreading width of the foot, this represents the same vessel shape change as seen in the shift from Yuezhou jade ring foot bowl to douli wan bowl form. These factors strongly indicate that the elements of the

Goryeo celadon janome foot bowls quite faithfully trace the changes seen in vessel shape periods in China. Further, regarding the bowls with inner flat base (mirror) janome foot bowls (pls. 36, 37, 38, 39, 41), while no bowls with a strikingly flat

surface can be confirmed among Northern Song inverted wicker hat shape bowls at the Yuezhou kilns, a strikingly flat (mirror) base can be seen on inverted hat bowls of the early Northern Song Yaozhou kilns which influenced both Yuezhou and early Goryeo celadons (Dong ware type, pls. 18, 19, 20, 21). Thus, we can consider that the flat inner base (mirror) of Goryeo celadon bowls may have been influenced by Yaozhou ware.22 As mentioned above, the Yuezhou celadon jade disc base bowls were used for drinking tea, and undoubtedly the Five Dynasties jade ring foot bowls, the Song douli wan and jade disc foot bowls were a continuation of this tea drinking function. On this basis, it is likely that the Goryeo celadon pre-janome foot bowls—which are thought to have been created on technology directly transmitted by Yuezhou ware workers—were also made as tea bowls. In 1123, Xu Jing was part of the entourage of the Northern Song envoy to the Goryeo court. His book, Xuanhe fengshi gaoli tujing (compiled 1124), stated that in recent years lovely celadon with a greenish-blue color called fei se was being

made in Goryeo and that it was essentially the same as Yuezhou mise celadon or Ru celadon. From such textual records, it is clear that the influence of Yuezhou and Ru wares on Goryeo celadon has long been known. However, recent excavations at the Ru kilns (Qingliangsi kilns) in Chinaʼs Henan province discovered various vessel types not previously found in traditionally preserved Ru tianqing glaze celadon.23 Given that most of those newly found vessel types share features with Goryeo celadon vessel forms, it further confirms the magnitude of Ru celadon influence on Goryeo celadon. The following is a list of vessel types found in ca. 12th century Goryeo celadon which are thought to have been influenced by Ru ware: long-necked vase (fig. 5), incense burner with mandarin duck lid, incense burner with lion lid, lotus flower shape incense burner (fig. 6), faceted crane-neck vase, crane neck

vase, kinuta vase (fig. 7, pl. 54), meiping (pl. 50), stackable box, round-torso ewers, chrysanthemum blossom bowl (warmer), flat based basin, lotus petal design basin, lotus petal design bowls and bowl stands. However, even though Goryeo celadon faithfully copied the vessel shapes of Ru tianqing celadon, it did not replicate the Ru tianqing glaze. Instead, they used a

beautiful blueish-green fei se. The coloration of Goryeo celadon fei se glaze closely resembles the jadeite used in the adornment of royal crowns in Koreaʼs Later Three Kingdoms period, and this fei se color may have been intentionally created as a color of jadeite that was not produced in China.24 In addition to the vessel types influenced by Ru ware, the Goryeo kilns also produced bowls with parrot motifs (pl. 64) under the influence of Northern Song Yuezhou ware. And, these fei se celadon vessel types copied from Yuezhou mise celadon and Ru celadon can be considered what Xu Jing saw in Goryeo in

1123.

201


From its inception, the Goryeo dynasty was passionate about the introduction of Chinese rituals and cultural properties, and intermittently sent envoys to pay tributes to the Northern Song from the beginning of diplomatic relations in 962 until 1030. From 1030 to 1070, that interaction stopped due to pressure from the Liao, but then in 1071 their tribute relationship was revived. Over the course of the 47 years until the Northern Song fell to the Jin in 1127, the two countries maintained a close relationship through such cities as Chinaʼs Mingzhou (Ningbo) and Mizhou. During this period the political interchange that formed the basis of the tribute relationship, along with economic and cultural exchange, flourished. This time period exactly coincides with the establishment of the Ru kilns, and thus amidst this close bilateral exchange, Goryeo fei se celadon was created for use by the Goryeo emperors, in imitation of the use of Ru celadon by the Song emperors. Judging from the close resemblance between Goryeo fei se celadon and Ru ware vessel shapes, it is highly likely that Goryeo celadon workers developed fei se celadon from their viewing of actual Ru celadon. While textual record and actual materials do not remain, it is also thought that one of the Song emperors of this period, namely Shenzong (r. 1067-1085), Zhezong (r. 1085-1100) or Huizong (r. 1100 -1125), granted Ru celadons to the Goryeo king.25 After the establishment of the Southern Song dynasty, the interactions between the Song court and the Goryeo court did not occur as regularly as they had during the late Northern Song. However, immediately after the Southern Song began, in 1128, the Southern Song dispatched an envoy to Goryeo, and envoys were sent between the two countries several times from the 1130s to the 1160s. But then this political interchange ended in 1173. Conversely, the exchange

among merchants and other ordinary people relatively flourished with Mingzhou (Ningbo) as their gateway. According to records in the Goryeosa (History of Goryeo), there are mentions of Song ships traveling to Goryeo from 1128 to 1278 a total of 34 times, with a total passenger count of 1897 on those ships.26 In this manner, amidst the bilateral political exchange that did not flourish to the degree it had in the late Northern Song, there was almost no influence from Southern Song imperial kiln celadon, which was made for the Southern Song emperors, continuing on the role that had been played by Ru celadon in the late Northern Song, on Goryeo celadon. Goryeo celadon had quite faithfully copied the vessel types and construct of Ru celadon up until the fall

202


of the Northern Song. But then, for approximately 20 years after the 1127 fall of the Northern Song, there was almost no influence on Goryeo celadon from the vessel types imitating Shang and Zhou ritual bronzes, such as ding, fangding, zun, ge (hakamagoshi kōro, tripod censers) and gu, which were being newly produced

in the Southern Song imperial celadon kiln which began production around the mid 12th century. Even though ding and fangding were produced in Goryeo celadon, the vessel form and design motifs are very similar to northern Chinese Yaozhou celadon and Ding white porcelain, and thus cannot be considered as influence from Southern Song imperial kiln products. On the other hand, in recent years a large number of Goryeo celadon have been discovered in the Southern Song capital of Hangzhou, Zhejiang province and Ningbo,27 which had become the gateway for exchange with the Goryeo court. Further, many of these examples are as extremely high quality fei se celadon as those excavated from Goryeo imperial tombs. Xiuzhongjin (Song

Taiping Laoren), said to have been published during the Song dynasty, lists “ dingyao baici ” (Ding white porcelain) and “gaoli mise ” (Goryeo mise celadon) as the

finest ceramics of the time, thus indicating the high regard for Goryeo celadon in Song dynasty China. This assessment has been further underscored by both textual references and excavated works. From the 10th century through the beginning of the 12th century Goryeo celadon was strongly influenced by Chinese celadon produced at the Yuezhou, Yaozhou and Ru kilns, and amidst such circumstances they began to produce superb celadon known as fei se. With the lessening of Song cultural influence that accompanied the fall of the Northern Song in 1127, Goryeo celadon distanced itself from the spell of Ru ware and other Chinese celadon. This process brought about the development of distinctive vessel shapes and decorative techniques such as inlaid celadon, thereby establishing Goryeo celadonʼs own unique style that differed from Chinese celadon.

Conclusion The production of celadon that combined beauty and functionality began at the Yuezhou kilns around the latter half of the 8th century, during the Tang dynasty. This was followed by the creation of mise celadon for the use of the emperor in the latter half of the 9th century, and in turn, influence from

203


mise celadon led to the creation of Five Dynasties Yaozhou celadon and on to

Ru ware celadon. The Ru tianqing glaze celadon produced as porcelain wares for the emperors in the late Northern Song recreated the image and technology of the Yaozhou tianqing glaze celadon of the end of the Five Dynasties through the beginning of the Northern Song. However, this period also saw the creation of new celadon vessel types copying Han ritual bronzes based on the epigraphy of the time. With the fall of the Northern Song, official kilns were opened in the Southern Song capital of Linʼan (Hangzhou). There they recreated works in the image of Ru wares and also began to create new vessel shapes imitating Shang and Zhou ritual bronzes. The vessel shapes first made at the Ru kilns and Southern Song official kilns in imitation of ancient ritual bronzes were then continued in Longquan celadon until the Yuan and Ming dynasties. The flourishing export of Longquan celadons greatly influenced ceramic production in regions worldwide. In Japan, even today, the forms of censers and vases still show considerable influence from those Longquan wares. The high quality celadon that was largely developed during in China during the Tang, Five Dynasties and Song dynasty thus strongly influenced ceramic production worldwide, and as such, permeates and lives on in ceramic culture today.

It has been suggested that the so-called Dongyao-type celadon, in particular the inverted triangular wicker hat bowls (pls. 18, 19, 20, 21), are not Yaozhou ware, but rather might have been made in Henan province. (see Imai Atsushi, “Joyō e no michi ” [The path to Ru ware], Shubi No. 22, Gakken Plus, 2017). However, I have confirmed similar materials excavated from the kiln site at the Yaozhou Kiln Museum, and thus am convinced they are Yaozhou kiln products. Further, at this time there are no confirmed Henan province kilns that produce Dongyao-type celadons. I have not yet heard any opinions of Chinese ceramics researchers who state that Dongyao-type is not the product of the Yaozhou kilns. 11.
