The longevity of blue and white porcelain is like something in the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. It is 77 cm high, 38 cm in diameter and 25 cm in bottom diameter, and is collected by Nanjing Museum. The shape is small mouth, square lips, neck, rich shoulders, gradually converging below the shoulders, and false round feet. The carcass is thick and solid, with white glaze inside and outside, and the glaze color is white and blue. The shape is huge and majestic. In particular, underglaze colors are written in blue and white, and the seal script "Shou" has 10,000 different characters, which is amazing. This longevity book not only has different fonts, but also is arranged properly and neatly. With the ups and downs of the surface of the vessel, it is horizontal and vertical, orderly, dense and not chaotic. There are 79 lines from top to bottom: two lines along the mouth, each with 77 words; There are 48 words on the outer wall of the mouth; 75 lines of neck and abdomen, each line is 130 words; There is a row of 48 characters on the outer wall of the foot. These four parts add up to a full 10 thousand birthday words. The font is neat and rigorous, and the strokes are vigorous and soft. Although they are all seal scripts, they can also be divided into different forms, such as big seal script, small seal script, ancient prose, strange characters, iron wire, dead books, birds and insects, etc., and there are many kinds of characters, which fully show the rich imagination and superb calligraphy skills of porcelain makers in Qing Dynasty, which is amazing. Because each line of longevity characters is arranged in a circle, it has neither a starting point nor an ending point, so the statue of "Endless Life" was specially made by Jingdezhen Imperial Kiln Factory in the 52nd year of Kangxi (17 13) to celebrate Kangxi's 60th birthday, and only three pieces were handed down from generation to generation.
