我认为，《辛亥百壶》是集思想性艺术性于一体的中华民族精神作品，是对华夏民族复兴＂中国梦＂的艺术诠释。

有一个共识，《辛亥百壶》是“名言、名人、名壶”“三合一”的艺术创新。仅这样评价，对它来说，还不够全面。

名言：100把紫砂壶上，分别镌刻了孙中山先生的100句箴言。这些箴言，封于当代甚至现代中国人来说，大多耳熟能详，不少句子上纲上墙，入耳入脑，落心落行，早已成了政治、经济、社会、生活中的指南针、座右铭；

名人：有国父孙中山先生，有西泠印社执行社长、著名篆刻书法家刘江，中国美术史论家、著名画家王伯敏，中国美院博士生导师、水墨大写意入物画领單军人物吴山明，当代大不写意花鸟画家何水法等先生为代表的西泠印社社员等书画界翘楚，有大国工匠顾景丹弟子张红华大师及吴培林、朱建伟、邵顺生、王福君等先生为代表的宜兴百名紫砂壶工艺精英。当然，这有其总策划人黄明先生，以及为之添砖加瓦、站在后台的政界、商界、文艺界人物，也包括与名言相关的诸多时代背景人物，如黄兴、宋庆龄、黄花岗七十二烈士等；

名壶：紫砂精品出宜兴，百名宜兴紫砂工艺美术名师们，精心制作的《辛亥百壶》，无论从泥料、器形、工艺等多角度考量，都可称其为当代紫砂工艺的杰出代表作。

其实，还有名艺。西泠名家的画法、国画、篆刻，以及将这些名人作品复制、移植、雕刻到相应紫砂壶上的陶刻师们，任何一个都是身怀绝技的行业大亨，应该还有名品。一共两套，一套留存中国大陆，一套飘过台湾海峡展出后收藏于台湾中山纪念馆。按照市场规律，孤品、单品、套品、系列全品，都是难得的收藏品；集名人、名言、名壶、名艺于一体的，更加是上上品、精品、珍品，堪称现代国宝。

据悉，《辛亥百壶》面世两年后，2013年应深圳第九届文博会组委会邀请赴展，开幕式当晚，深圳电视台等相关媒体即报道称“国宝级文物亮相深圳”，我个人认同这一评价。

紫砂壶上录用名人名言名书名画，是常态化的做法，但要雅集这么多的名人名书名画，由百位紫砂壶名家分别制作，分别镌刻孙中山先生百句名言，壶底都铃有西泠印社执行社长、著名篆刻书法家刘江先生耄耋之年为百壶所刻之活动标志性印章“丹青紫砂宜于兴",形成为数仅两套的紫砂壶系列作品，这在紫砂工艺史上应属前无古人之举，在书画艺术应用史上前无古人，在思想史上前无古人。毫不夸张地说，《辛亥百壶》是多种高端艺术形态相辅相成、珠联璧合的民族智慧的结晶。

二、 “辛亥百壶”是两岸同胞团结愿景契合的善举

孙中山先生是海峡两岸乃至全球华人共同敬爱的反帝反封建革命运动的先行者，是中园共和体制的设计人。对辛亥革命这一历史事件的看法，两岸同胞，甚至当政者都持充分肯定的态度。这是两岸形成“九二共识＂的基础之一。

《辛亥百壶》选择辛亥革命100周年这一重要历史节点，通过中山语录、西泠书画、宜兴紫砂壶“三位一体＂的方式，把爱国反帝、振兴中华、天下为公的辛亥精神，艺术地表达出来；通过两岸和港澳巡展，分存两岸的方式，把两岸同胞血浓于水、期盼两岸和平统一的夙愿，艺术地表达出来；通过预设两套“辛亥百壶”同室相聚、同台亮相的冀望的方式，把两岸同胞血脉同根、文化同源，团结发展，共御外侮，振兴中华的＂中国梦＂艺术地表达出来，这与当年在台湾《富春山居图》合璧展异曲同工，都是一种高尚的善行。

三、“辛亥百壶”是中华传统文化时代融合的力举

中华传统文化的内容博大精深，其形式五花八门。炎黄子孙繁衍生息的纽带、形成合力的心结、民族振兴的动能，都是中华传统文化。

孙中山先生的革命思想，脱胎于中华传统文化。譬如，其核心的“民生、民主、民权”,“天下为公”，就是对传统的“君轻民重”国学思想的演绎。重温孙中山先生的箴言，可以说是对传统国学思想的时代诠释。

书法、国画、雕刻、紫砂壶，都是中华传统文化的重要符号或载体。把这么多的优秀文化符号、文化元素、文化载体糅合在一起，并有机统一，体现新时期、新常态下文化发展的新特色，使得《辛亥百壶》成为历史的、民族的、现代的诸多文化元素融合的典范，必将载入中国当代艺术、文化史册，成为中华民族艺术宝库中一朵耀眼的奇葩。

The Hundred Pots of 1911 Revolution is a work of national spirit with highly unified ideological and artistic qualities.

Chen Wei, senior reporter of China Business Daily

During my tenure as a member of the Expert Bank of Zhejiang Cultural and Art Exchange and the Expert Committee of Shaanxi Art Exchange on the Recommendation and Evaluation of Listed Artworks, I discussed with Mr. Huang Ming, the planner and producer of "Xinhai Hundred Pots", how to list "Xinhai Hundred Pots" as a whole by sharing treasures among the people, so that she can play her due role. Later, due to changes in relevant national industrial policies, this idea failed to materialize. But it is precisely because of this that I have explored and deeply understood the origin, collection value and market awareness of the Hundred Pots of 1911.
In my opinion, "Hundred Pots of 1911" is a spiritual work of the Chinese nation, which integrates ideological and artistic qualities, and is an artistic interpretation of the "Chinese Dream" of the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

First, "Xinhai Hundred Pots" is a perfect combination of various artistic forms.

There is a consensus that "Xinhai Hundred Pots" is an artistic innovation of "famous sayings, celebrities, famous pots" and "three in one". This evaluation alone is not comprehensive enough for it.

Famous saying: 100 Zisha teapots are engraved with 100 proverbs of Dr. Sun Yat-sen. Most of these proverbs are familiar to contemporary and even modern Chinese people, and many of them have become the compass and motto of politics, economy, society and life;

Celebrities: Dr. Sun Yat-sen, the father of the country, Liu Jiang, the executive president of Xiling Seal Engraving Society and a famous seal engraving calligrapher, Wang Bomin, a famous Chinese art historian and painter, Wu Shanming, a doctoral supervisor of the Chinese Academy of Fine Arts and a leading figure in ink and wash freehand brushwork, and He Shuifa, a contemporary freehand flower-and-bird painter. Master Zhang Honghua, a disciple of Gu Jingdan, a great craftsman, and Mr. Wu Peilin, Zhu Jianwei, Shao Shunsheng and Wang Fujun are the representatives of 100 elite craftsmen of purple clay pots in Yixing. Of course, there are Mr. Huang Ming, the chief planner, and the political, business, literary and artistic figures who stand in the background, as well as many background figures related to the famous words, such as Huang Xing, Song
Qingling, 72 martyrs of Huanghuagang, etc;

Famous teapots: The best Zisha teapots are produced in Yixing. The "Hundred Teapots of 1911" elaborately produced by hundreds of famous Zisha craftsmen in Yixing can be called the outstanding representative works of contemporary Zisha crafts in terms of clay, shape, craft and so on.

In fact, there are also famous arts. The painting, traditional Chinese painting and seal carving of famous Xiling artists, as well as the pottery carvers who copied, transplanted and carved the works of these celebrities on the corresponding purple clay pots, are all industry tycoons with unique skills, and there should be famous products. A total of two sets, one set remains in mainland China, one set floats across the Taiwan Strait and is collected in the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall in Taiwan. According to the market rules, the orphan, the single product, the set and the whole series are all rare collections; the collection of celebrities, famous sayings,
famous pots and famous arts is even more top-grade, exquisite and precious, which can be called modern national treasures.

It is reported that two years after the publication of "Hundred Pots of 1911", at the invitation of the Organizing Committee of the Ninth Shenzhen Cultural Expo in 2013, Shenzhen TV and other relevant media reported that "national treasure-grade cultural relics appeared in Shenzhen" on the opening night, and I personally agree with this evaluation.

It is a normal practice to employ famous books and paintings of celebrities on purple clay pots, but to gather so many famous books and paintings of celebrities, they are made by hundreds of famous purple clay pots and engraved with hundreds of famous sayings of Dr. Sun Yat-sen. At the bottom of the pot, Mr. Liu Jiang, the executive president of Xiling Seal Engraving Society and a famous seal engraving calligrapher, carved the symbolic seal "Danqing Zisha is suitable for prosperity" for a hundred pots in his early years, forming only two sets of Zisha pot series works, which should be unprecedented in the history of Zisha craft, in the history of the application of calligraphy and painting art, and in the history. It is no exaggeration to say that "Xinhai Hundred Pots" is the crystallization of national wisdom in which
various high-end artistic forms complement each other and combine perfectly.

Second, the "Hundred Pots of 1911" is a good deed that conforms to the vision of cross-strait compatriots' unity.

Dr. Sun Yat-sen is the forerunner of the anti-imperialist and anti-feudalrevolutionary movement respected by Chinese people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and even all over the world, and the designer of the Republican system of Zhongyuan. Compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and even those in power hold a fully positive attitude towards the historical event of the 1911 Revolution. This is one of the bases for the formation of the "1992 consensus" between the two sides.

"Hundred Pots of 1911 Revolution" chooses the important historical node of the 100th anniversary of the 1911 Revolution, and artistically expresses the spirit of 1911 Revolution of patriotism, anti-imperialism, revitalization of China and the world for the public through the "trinity" of Zhongshan Quotations, Xiling Calligraphy and Painting and Yixing Purple Clay Pot; Through the cross-strait and Hong Kong and Macao tours, the long-cherished wish of compatriots on both sides of the Straits for peaceful reunification is artistically expressed by the way of dividing the two sides; By presupposing two sets of "Hundred Pots of 1911" to meet
in the same room and appear on the same stage, we can artistically express the "Chinese Dream" of compatriots on both sides of the Straits with the same blood, culture, unity and development, resisting foreign aggression and revitalizing China, which is similar to the exhibition of "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map" in Taiwan in that year, and is a noble good deed.

Third, the "Hundred Pots of 1911" is a powerful move in the era of integration of Chinese traditional culture.

The content of Chinese traditional culture is broad and profound, and its forms are varied. Chinese traditional culture is the bond of the descendants of the Yellow Emperor, the knot of forming a joint force, and the momentum of national rejuvenation.

Dr. Sun Yat-sen's revolutionary thought was born out of Chinese traditional culture. For example, its core "people's livelihood, democracy, civil rights" and "the world is for the public" are the deduction of the traditional Chinese thought of "the monarch despises the people". Reviewing Dr. Sun Yat-sen's proverbs can be said to be an epochal interpretation of traditional Chinese learning.

Calligraphy, traditional Chinese painting, sculpture and purple clay pots are all important symbols or carriers of Chinese traditional culture. Combining so many excellent cultural symbols, cultural elements and cultural carriers together and organically unifying them, reflecting the new characteristics of cultural development in the new era and under the new normal conditions, Xinhai Hundred Pots has become a model of the integration of historical, national and modern cultural elements, which will surely be recorded in the history of contemporary Chinese art and culture, and become a dazzling flower in the treasure house of Chinese art.
