枕中自有乾坤 元代青白釉透雕人物故事瓷枕

White-and-Blue Glazed Parcelain Pillow Carved with figurines of the Yuan Dynasty

瓷枕是中国古代瓷器的重要品种，又以式样繁多，造型精美享誉古今。论造型，有虎形枕、盘龙枕、卧女枕、孩儿枕、云头枕、银锭枕……论装饰手法，或堆塑，或雕镂，或绘画，或题诗；论窑口，有磁州窑、定窑、吉州窑、耀州窑、景德镇窑……可以说瑞彩纷呈，各具千秋。如果综合考察，品评高下的话，我个人认为，还是以元代景德镇窑造烧的几件透雕人物故事瓷枕为冠。无论制作技巧、装饰艺术，还是社会学、美学价值，都为上上之选。

The article describes three pieces of white-and-blue glazed porcelain pillows made in Jingdezhen during the Yuan Dynasty. They were unearthed in Shanxi, Anhui and Jiangxi. The making of such porcelain pillows was quite demanding and very few were available. They occupy an important position in the history of porcelain making, literature and arts.
