Qidan charm Exhibition

Three colors of Liao Dynasty

Most of the three colors of Liao Dynasty are yellow, green and brown glaze. The square dish, Begonia flower style long plate, cockscomb pot and barrel bottle are of Qidan style. Among them, the three color glazed pottery of Chifeng guanwa kiln is soft, light red and bright. There are two kinds of decoration methods: printing and patterning. Most plates and dishes are printed in Yangwen, and chisels are patterned. The difference between the three colors of the Tang Dynasty and the three colors of the Liao Dynasty is that there is no blue in the three colors of the Liao Dynasty, the glaze is not blended, and the glaze is less flowing.

 

Cathayan

Qidan people, an ancient nomadic people, lived in modern Mongolia and Northeast China, and lived a semi farming and semi pastoral life. Their language belongs to the Mongolian language family of Altaic language family, but was influenced by the Tungusic language family. The customs of Khitan people are different from those of Han people. Khitan people have Kun hair, and their clothes are usually long robes with left lapel, round collar and narrow sleeves, with trouser legs in the boot barrel. The Qidan people lived in Yuzhang, and the emperor's Yuzhang was called Nabo. The Qidan people in Liao state only have surnames of the royal family account and the post family account, but the other Qidan people have no surnames. Khitan people are mostly integrated into other ethnic groups in northern China, such as Nuzhen and Mongolia, and some of them have developed into today's Daur ethnic group and a group called "I" in Yunnan. Since the Golden Horde was the hegemony of Europe for a long time from the 13th century to the 15th century, and the Mongols called northern China Khitan, later the word generally refers to China.
