The Song and Yuan dynasties were a prosperous period in the history of lacquerware development in China. The techniques of lacquerware胎 and 髹饰 were highly developed, with the rise of plain lacquerware being particularly noteworthy. Plain lacquerware, also known as "unpatterned lacquerware," is characterized by its simple, unadorned nature, decorated only with colored lacquer. Its elegant and simple artistry perfectly embodies the aesthetic ideals of the Song Dynasty scholar-official class, which favored a style of "lotus emerging from water, elegant and ethereal."
On the occasion of the 2021 New Year, the Helu City Ruins Museum carefully planned and launched the exhibition "Glistening Wood: Exhibition of the Restoration Results of Song Dynasty Lacquerware Unearthed in Wuxi." The exhibition features a selection of Song Dynasty lacquerware unearthed by the Wuxi Municipal Archaeological Institute in 2010 and 2012, and subsequently preserved and restored. This collection of lacquerware is exquisitely crafted, showcasing superb lacquer techniques and distinct characteristics of the era. It provides valuable materials for the study of lacquer craftsmanship during the Song and Yuan dynasties, as well as the elegant social customs of the time.
The exhibition is located on the second floor mezzanine of the Helu City Ruins Museum. The exhibition hall is divided into five sections: "Archaeological Excavation and Preservation," which mainly introduces the excavation and preservation and restoration of the two batches of lacquerware; "Song Dynasty Lacquerware," the main section of the exhibition, introduces the main forms, craftsmanship, colors, and inscriptions of Song Dynasty lacquerware; "Decorative Craftsmanship of Song and Yuan Lacquerware," which introduces the carved lacquer, gold-inlaid, and shell-inlaid decorative techniques of Song and Yuan lacquerware in addition to plain lacquerware; "Understanding Lacquerware," which introduces the physical properties of lacquerware, as well as the胎骨 and color lacquer configuration; and "A Concise History of Lacquer Use," which introduces the development history of lacquerware in China. In addition, the entire exhibition uses Song and Yuan literati paintings as a backdrop and incorporates scenes to present to the audience a simple, quiet, and reserved lifestyle of Song and Yuan literati, leading the audience to experience the daily life of the people at that time, which centered around "incense, tea, painting, and flowers."
