英文品名：A LARGE WUCAI DISH PAINTED WITH LADIES AND CHILDREN, INSCRIBED TANHUA LANG, THE BASE BEARING A YUTANG JIAQI MARK 尺寸：D:34cm;H:7.5cm 敞口淺腹大盤，盤心繪五彩庭園人物：仕女著綠衣紅裙，旁邊數名孩童嬉戲，山石以青花暈染，紅欄杆點綴其間。一側題青花「探花郎」三字。口沿塗醬色。底書青花「玉堂佳器」四字雙圈款。畫風古樸有力。盤心題「探花郎」三字，本為科舉殿試第三名之稱。唐代進士放榜後於曲江園宴遊，擇年輕俊少年二人為「探花使」，騎馬遊園折花；至南宋，「探花」專指殿試一甲第三名。舊時繪兒童騎馬、仕女旁立，題「探花郎」，寓「兒郎早日登科、金榜題名」之意，為祝願科舉順遂之吉祥圖。與之相對者為「狀元」「榜眼」，合稱「三鼎甲」。 A large shallow dish. The interior is painted in wucai with a garden scene of ladies in green and red robes surrounded by playing children; rocks are rendered in washed underglaze blue and a red railing frames the setting. One side bears the underglaze-blue inscription Tanhua lang, the third-placed scholar. The rim is brown-edged. The base bears a four-character double-circle hall mark yutang jiaqi. The inscription Tanhua lang, or flower-searching scholar, originally referred to the third-place graduate in the imperial palace examination. In Tang times, after the list of successful candidates was proclaimed, two young and handsome graduates were chosen as flower-searching envoys to ride through the Qujiang gardens gathering blossoms; by the Southern Song the term was fixed for the third-ranked jinshi. Painted on porcelain with a child and ladies nearby, the motif wishes the heir of the house early success in the examinations. Together with zhuangyuan first and bangyan second, it forms the three dingjia.
