This is the heaviest and largest of the bowls I’ve collected recently and can anyone tell me about it. I wasn’t able to find the Mark I have about nine books but they leave a lot of gaps. Thank you in advance.
mnemonic , chinese equivalent of steadiness or firmness , hall of mark combination, in huan ding form
cyl
I am better in NAVAJO , but let,s give it a try
First of all you have to realize that this Zuanshu script and not Kaishu , first script is zeal script and the second is regular
we start at the right top and going downwards cross wise, and then we get HUA DING TANG ZHI
so TANG -------------HUA
ZHI-------------------DING
forget the bell shaping in the mark because the maker probably drunk most of the time it is Song dijnasty embellesment
The meaning is Made for the HALL of chinese equilibrium
now we get a problemen because we got 7 type of symbols for equilibrium, F,i
homeostatis of the body , also over mind versus matter , political solidity , LIFESTYLE etc
so lets define this as hallof chinese SOLIDITY OR STABILITY
some people think this is MACAO styling well it is not, it is HONGKONG styling. and this made between 1968-1978
if you want to check the symbols discard the bell shaping out of your perception
the funny thing is it is not in the DAVISON , i believe ( a sort of encyclopedia of chinese) so i have to do it by heart , and i am better in NAVAJO
