Inspired by the salvage

One day, he readily picked up a blue and white porcelain pieces, wipe mud, refining its stand tiles of the edges and corners, various porcelain pieces with glue to stick the ring box in his hands. Unexpectedly, 这枚 “porcelain ring,” under the refraction of sunlight in the tropics actually shiny, blue faint blue and white as if with renewed old life. Ban Logan suddenly sprouted in the blue and white porcelain fragments and converted into a modern jewelry idea.
The Miss World beauty pageant wear
However, things are not as smoothly as one might imagine. In order to achieve “blue-jewelry dream,” Ban Logan waited for two years before eventually finding bought the first batch of porcelain pieces. In 2005, classes officially began writing Logan blue and white porcelain jewelry. In 2006, he established the “Chinese blue and white jewelry company”, launched the first batch of their own design balance 100 blue and white porcelain jewelry, including earrings, bracelets, necklaces, ornaments, rings and so on.

Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese system of medicine which involves the practice of inserting fine needles into the skin. To research the beginnings of the art and practice of acupuncture we must pierce the folds of time and cast our minds back to ancient China.
The oldest records of ancient Chinese acupuncture are found on bone etchings thought to be from around 1600 B.C. or almost 4000 years ago.
Archaeological excavation of sites around China through the last century has brought to light a number of pointed stones which archeologists have determined are ancient acupuncture needles. These stones slivers were for medical treatments, used to make skin incisions and to stimulate specific points on the body.
The history of ancient acupuncture originated with the use of these stones, then slivers of animal bones were used. Later still, bamboo needles were used for therapeutic purposes.
Another archeological dig in China, at a site from the Shang Period (1766-1122 BC), excavated a tomb and found a stone hook which was contained in a lacquer casket, indicating an object of value. It was determined that this was also a medical instrument used in ancient Chinese acupuncture.
Not only do the medical instruments and ancient needles show us that acupuncture was being used at these times, but history has large, bronze artifacts proving the importance of ancient Chinese acupuncture.
A life sized bronze man was created to show acupuncture points on the body and greatly contributed to the development of ancient Chinese acupuncture. The creator of this figure, Wang Weiyi (c.987-1067), had the idea of casting two statues in bronze representing a man from the front and behind. On these statues were engraved 657 acupuncture points. These statues were used in the Imperial acupuncture exams for new acupuncturists in ancient China. The statues were coated in thick wax and then filled with water. The student taking the exam would locate the acupoint and needle into the wax covered statue. When the needle was withdrawn a small drop of water would be evident if the student had needled the correct point.
Wang Weiyi also compiled the book Tongren Shuxue Zhen Jiu Yujing (Illustrated Manual of the Bronze Man Showing Acupuncture and Moxibustion Points). The text of this work was also engraved on two stone steles more than two meters high and seven meters in width, and were erected at Kaifeng, then capital of the Northern Song dynasty, for public benefit. Wang Weiyi’s ancient work provided the impetus for a great leap forward in ancient Chinese acupuncture. The points on the body had been mapped out, the ancient instruments had been created and ancient Chinese people were being healed.
Recorded history of ancient Chinese acupuncture from the book, Songshi (History of the Song Dynasty) recounts that Emperor Renzong, who fell ill in 1034, was cured successfully through acupuncture. This helped popularize ancient acupuncture and the art and practice of acupuncture became the forte of specialized physicians such as Wang Zhizhong during the Southern Song dynasty. Wang was the author of A Description of Acupuncture and Moxibustion, (Zhenjiu Zishengjing) published in 1220, a classic text on ancient acupuncture.
Ancient acupuncture is not the exclusive possession of the Chinese. The papyrus Ebers of 1550 BC is the most important of ancient Egyptian medical treaties. It refers to a book on the subject of vessels which could correspond to the twelve meridians of acupuncture.
The Bantu of South Africa sometimes scratch parts of the body to cure disease. In the treatment of sciatica the Bantu cauterize with a hot metal probe a part of the ear. This practice corresponds with the acupuncture method of Auricular or Ear acupuncture. Some Eskimos practice simple acupuncture with sharp stones, just like ancient Chinese acupuncture. An isolated tribe in Brazil shoot tiny arrows with a blowpipe into specific parts of the body.
The great contribution of the Chinese to the primitive, or largely local form of acupuncture practices mentioned above, is that they have developed a fairly complete systemic method. Cataloged and described in many text books, it is taught at universities and is reproducible under experimental conditions.
The methods and practice of acupuncture have come a long way since its ancient beginnings but the interest and desire to understand this ancient art is as fresh as ever.

It may have been the Chinese who invented porcelain over 1000 years ago, but it took those fashionable French to give us the names of the coloured glazes, still used as standards in the West today, to identify the major range of Chinese ceramic colours.
Some of these names will be familiar such as “Famille Jaune”, or, the yellow family of glazes in which yellow is the predominant colour, “Famille Noir”, or the black family of coloured glazes, “Famille Rose”, or the pink family of colours and “Famille Verte”, the green range of glazes.
One of the most popular of these monochromes, or, single coloured glazes is Sang de Boeuf as named by the French, or, literally, ox – blood. Most names for colours, as used in China, were derived from nature, in this case resembling the coagulation of ox–blood.
This colour range of red glazes was developed throughout long period of the Ch’ing dynasty (1644 – 1912), the basis of the colour derived from copper.
Sang de Boeuf is found in a broad range of reds, from pale, known as Peach Bloom and on to a palette of rich dark reds.
The Antique & Vintage Table Lamp Co currently has a collection of several large examples of Chinese Sang de Boeuf lamps ranging from the mid 19th to the mid 20th century.
This strong dark red colour works beautifully with interiors across classic and modern classic to traditional and being a single colour, is at home in any colour scheme.
Some of these lamps are mounted on elegant, French ormolu, in 18th century style, some on gold plated bronze stands and on custom turned, water gilded, maple wood stands.
The Antique & Vintage Table Lamp Co specialise in antique table lamp lighting with an on-line range of over 100 unique, antique and vintage lamps on view.
Lamps are shipped ready wired for the U.S, the U.K and Australia.
Maurice Robertson, principal of The Antique and Vintage Table Lamp Co , has had a lifetime’s association with antique porcelain and pottery. From an early age he recalls picking up tea cups, looking for the mark on the base, discerning the maker.
Extending his ceramics expertise into the quality table lamps seen on the company’s site, he is well known to local and international interior designers who have included many of his table lamps in their projects and has also supplied items of national interest to the official Sydney residence of the Australian Prime Minister.
