The Sky Awaits the Mist

In 1991, a large Southern Song porcelain hoard was discovered in Jinyu Village, Suining, Sichuan. After being cleared and excavated, 1,005 intact or restorable artifacts were unearthed, including 985 porcelain pieces, 18 bronze artifacts, and 2 stone carvings. The remarkably well-preserved collection of exquisite porcelain astonished the world. Seven hundred years ago, during the Southern Song dynasty, these wares were already world-class, making them exceptionally precious. Time did not allow them to vanish into the river of history. Instead, it brought their delicacy and beauty back to life in a time of prosperity, in this city that had waited 1,660 years for you. For this reason, the world's only museum named after Song porcelain was established here: the Sichuan Song Porcelain Museum. Who created the color of a sky cleared after rain? Who buried so many exquisite porcelain wares in an underground chamber, allowing them to pass peacefully through seven hundred long years? Who left behind these historical treasures? And what stories unfolded behind these porcelain pieces? Were there flashes of swords and blades? Or bloodshed and turmoil? Let us turn our gaze toward the world of seven hundred years ago and search for the answers together. The sky-blue hue awaits the misty rain, while I am waiting for you.
