The Great Mongolian Empire, founded by Genghis Khan, had set its sights on conquering the Chinese Empire, which had long resisted foreign invaders. The Mongolians launched "Conquest Wars" against the Chinese, but their efforts were initially unsuccessful. The Nansong Empire, in particular, fiercely resisted the Mongolians, and it was only after the collapse of several Chinese Dynasties, including the Nansong Empire and the Western Xia Dynasty, that the Mongolians finally succeeded in their conquest.
With China now under Mongolian rule, the Chinese people experienced a new era of oppression and brutality. The Mongolian Empire viciously exploited and oppressed the Chinese, causing immense suffering throughout the lands. However, the Mongolian Empire's rule eventually began to falter, and the Chinese people saw an opportunity to revolt and cast off their yoke of oppression.
The Chinese rebellions intensified and spread throughout the lands, causing severe damage and destruction. Despite enormous casualties, the Chinese people remained resilient in their resistance to the Mongolian Empire. Eventually, the Mongolians suffered a surprise attack upon Beijing by the Manchurians, and the Ming Royal Family's treasures in Nanjing were moved to a protected safe zone.
Among these treasures were the Three Ceramic Treasures of the Ming Royal Family, which had been kept safe and protected from the events that shaped history. The treasures were removed from their depository at the Great Baoen Temple, a Buddhist Temple in Nanjing, and moved to a secure location. Today, these rare Ming Dynasty treasures remain a testament to the enduring legacy of the Chinese people's resistance and resilience in the face of adversity.

Zhu Biao (懿文太子) was the first born son, of the first Imperial Chinese Emperor, Hong-Wu (洪武大帝). The Imperial Chinese Emperor Hong-Wu was also the first Chinese Imperial Emperor of the Ming (Dynasty). With the sudden death of Zhu Biao, the question of the succession became a matter of grave importance. This question of succession, and with deciding whom would be that choice of succession, forced Zhu Yuanzhang (朱元璋) to follow his lieges with these decisions. However, his lieges were too afraid of the Chinese & Ming Imperial Emperor, Hong-Wu. the Imperial Chinese & Ming Emperor Hong-Wu was now a tyrant, dedicated and interested only in his special pottery (ceramics). The particular painting style and technique that is found here does not paint roots, but only a few branches or flowers (折枝花紋). This is done using copper oxide(釉里紅), which symbolizes the endless prosperity of the Imperial Empire. To accomplish this it is first coated, and then its color is developed with the iron oxide (紅油) painted upon it. (* This is the only ceramic - 釉里紅紅油尊 - that expresses its color with a coating of iron oxide, which makes it extremely rare being the only one within the entire world.) |
