Celadon was the mainstream of porcelain in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and a layer of iron-containing glaze could burn such a pleasant turquoise color. This object is tall and heavy, shaped like an olive, with beautiful lines. Carve lotus petals all over the body, or decorate flowers, bodhi leaves and flying in the middle. The whole device integrates various technologies such as engraving, engraving, die printing and pasting. The ornamentation is complicated, reflecting from top to bottom, and the turquoise glaze is pleasant, which represents the highest level of porcelain-making technology in the Southern and Northern Dynasties and is quite ingenious.
The gods before the Tang Dynasty were generally containers for wine, but the lotus statue was huge in shape and beautifully decorated, so it can never be simply considered as a container for wine. Lotus, flowers and flying are consistent with the artistic theme of Buddhism. Lotus is the sacred flower of Buddhism, which shows that the celadon lotus statue is closely related to Buddhism, and wine is regarded as a forbidden thing in Buddhism, which is obviously not used to hold wine. If we look back at the history, we find that the granary jar, which was popular in the Wu and Jin Dynasties as a resting place or sustenance for the dead, has disappeared at this time, and the lotus statue is likely to be a funerary object to replace the granary jar. It can not only release the soul, but also add Buddhist factors, cross over the dead soul, avoid the pain of reincarnation and enter a mixed situation. It can be considered that the lotus statue is the product of the combination of Buddhism and China's ancient concept of soul.
