Chapter 64: Willow-patterned bones
The biggest feature of Ding kiln porcelain is that it has fewer pieces and more decorations.
The opening piece has large opening piece, small opening piece, small opening piece, such as the cow hair pattern in the term, and the large and sparse ones are cow hair pattern, willow leaf pattern, and crab claw pattern. It is divided into natural opening piece and artificial opening piece. The natural opening piece is because the porcelain has been used for a long time and the porcelain glaze cracks, forming some cabbage hair texture. But there is another type of pursuing the beauty of the opening piece, it is planned to open the piece when entering the kiln, and it is fired with drugs. This opening piece is very like cracking.
The most famous one in Song porcelain is Ge Kiln. This is a very interesting pair of brothers. The younger brother inherited the legacy of his ancestors and rarely opened the pieces. His kiln is called Longquan Kiln, which focuses on purple bone and iron feet. But the older brother opened a new kiln. In order to open the pieces, he was almost omnipotent. People at that time called Baizhu Crush. Compared with another kiln that likes to open the pieces, the official kiln pattern is like a fish roe and the official kiln pattern is like a crab claw. In addition, although they are all in the five famous kilns, Ge Kiln is also slightly inferior in the juice glaze technique.
The official kiln patterns are collectively called crab claw patterns, which are divided into fine labor, ice cracks, eel blood as the top, plum blossom slices, ink patterns as the bottom, fine and fine pieces as the bottom. The glaze color is pink and blue, followed by light white, and putty as the bottom. However, at that time, white as thin as paper was the top, but the craftsmanship and price were still second to Ru kiln.
Ru kiln porcelain also has open patterns, but compared with the official kiln Ge kiln, the texture is slightly light, fine lines, and staggered. The glaze color is mainly light blue, and the body is good. It is a famous incense ash body, which is also one of the evidences for identifying Ru kiln porcelain. The real Ru kiln porcelain has not been fired for a long time, and there are few works handed down from generation to generation. It is also the most difficult porcelain among Song porcelain. Not to mention fake real, the most wise people have not imitated 90% of the image! Of course, the price of each Ru porcelain handed down is the same as the real Yue kiln secret color porcelain, which is a treasure among the treasures.
Jun kiln porcelain, which replaced the Chai kiln, took a different approach and did not deliberately open the pieces. However, the irregular thin lines flowing traces formed by different metal molecules in the glaze surface during calcination are known as earthworms walking in mud patterns. However, it is not favorable to the texture, but rather in the glaze color. The kiln added copper to the glaze color and formed copper oxide at high temperatures, because even the kiln workers themselves could not master what the porcelain would look like. This variability caused the color of the porcelain to change endlessly, or changed to another saying, entering the kiln to be one color and making a lot of colorful. Regarding its gorgeousness, the ancients used all praises, such as rain passing by the sky, the moon white and the breeze, etc. However, there were very few products in the past, so there was a saying that even if there was a wealth of wealth, it was not as good as one piece of Jun porcelain. This is the ultimate in monochrome porcelain!
However, among the five famous kilns, Ding kiln ranks first. The main reason is its glaze color. Its glaze color is not that dazzling white, with a little yellow in the white, so it looks very soft and moist. Not only white porcelain, Ding kiln also fired black glaze, sauce glaze, brown glaze, green glaze, and the best, pink and dialed, which were fired by a large number of craftsmen in the Southern Song Dynasty to Jingdezhen to fire in Nandingzhong, which was very soft, and was very popular among scholars and officials. It is only because of its large output and high unearth, which is not as good as the previous porcelain in the collection industry. This modest glaze color style will inevitably cause poor opening and opening, which is often in conflict with this style. Therefore, the Ding porcelain grid has fewer opening and opening, and even the opening and opening and opening are mainly narrow and long willow leaf patterns to reduce the strong stimulation to the senses. Moreover, it is mostly open to the Nanding, and it is almost difficult to see real opening and opening in Beiding.
In addition to opening the pieces, it is also decoration. The paintings of Ding porcelain were very famous at that time. Su Dongpo wrote in a poem that said: Dingzhou flower porcelain is carved with red jade. This kind of flower porcelain is not a real flower porcelain. It is estimated that Su Dongpo will see the pastel color of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and there will definitely be countless beautiful poems. Strictly speaking, this is flower painting porcelain, which is the soft carving in Wang Hua's mouth. Among them, carving with a knife is the best. This ability probably calls 60 or 70 workers from two kilns together. Except for Wang Hua, there will be no more than two people. There are needle rust flowers, followed by plate printing.
Then there is the body bone, which is white, or white bone body. The glaze is thick and drooping like tears. However, this kind of tear mark is not the kind of tears that Wang Hua fired porcelain in the first furnace. There are only a few places, wanting to droop and wanting to cover it, which is consistent with the overall humble and elegant style of Ding porcelain. The scholars and officials are gentlemen, but if they are not done well, they are hypocrites and smiling tigers. This is what they want.
Therefore, many techniques and techniques have never appeared in the porcelain firing industry. After Wang Yi knocked on more than a dozen masters, Wang Hua had to teach him step by step. However, in order to prevent the leakage of technology, Wang Hua used the first time to divide the program into quarrying mud, clay mud, ash, glaze, box making, molding, rolling, making blanks, making materials, picking materials, printing blanks, emulsion, painting, carving tools, dipping glaze, blowing glaze, spinning blanks, digging foot, digging, firing blanks, opening kilns, and other thirty-shift systems for secondary glaze firing, each of them is responsible for their own procedures. In fact, this also improves efficiency. There are also some, such as worshiping gods and rewarding wishes, which made his father do.
After nearly a month of suspension, the new kiln finally started construction again.
This time, the Wang family was very disturbed. More than a dozen senior technicians were knocked on, which made some other porcelain kilns very angry. But they dared not speak out. They all knew Wang Hua's identity. Even the emperor paid attention to the people who came to date him was the princess, the princess, the princess, the grandson, who was accused of. Can it be afforded?
Also, Wang Hua is beautifully made.
New Year's Day has not passed yet, so I bought a lot of meat, grain, oil and some cheap coarse fabrics. Then my mother asked her mother to take Li Hong, Gongsun, and two elders from the surname Wang to look for the poor family members from Qingshangou, and distributed relief from house to house. Even the few families who moved to Yanshi County as far as the distance was, they all brought ox carts and distributed them. Then they started from Qingshangou again to poor families in the surname Yi. This time, the Wang family spent nearly 100 gold, and the ox carts that transported materials were full of seven or eight ox carts. That's not all, Wang Hua personally took out a part of the best silk silk rewarded by Wu Zetian, and saw that the family of the tribe married and distributed them to the door. Even the people of several mountain villages near Qingshangou benefited.
Whether it is said that he wins over the people's hearts or that he is really rich, he will help the world. This is real gold and silver. In a moment, the Wang family's reputation reached its peak.
At this time, I'm asking for trouble for the Wang family?
Have to think about it.
He also knew Wang Hua's talent in artifacts. In the past, he just gave a few instructions to open the furnace in the new kiln, and then lay on some fragments to study, and ignored the rest. Or studied behind closed doors. But this time, several large ships of mud were transported from Lu Ergou. After Wang Yi knocked the technician, Wang Hua completely put down the book and rushed to the kiln.
Wang Hua taught and supervised, because this time, after sufficient preparation, it was natural. Although it may not be possible to make real porcelain, it can be said that it is 90% similar. Therefore, Wang Hua's hand also itched.
He made a piece of porcelain himself.
This piece of porcelain is made from Beiding's representative work, the Kiln string pattern furnace.
The furnace was also used for burning incense. Most of the ancients used bronze ware, but because copper was also a currency, all copper was expensive. Since the development of porcelain technology, many people gradually used porcelain furnaces to replace copper furnaces. However, the porcelain furnace forms are also divided into many types, including tripod, tripod, box, fish ear, and three-legged. Longquan Kiln also produces a milk furnace with protruding body, similar to the Yi Yi furnace. Yi is a bronze ware with extravagant mouth, round feet, and square ears.
The best product is as big as a teacup in the middle and elegantly styled.
This string pattern furnace is the representative of it, including three feet of Yuntou, milky white glaze, warm glaze, three string patterns on the furnace body, and bronze patterns are hidden in the middle, making the shape of the instrument even more simple and dignified.
However, Wang Hua used the technique of embossing carving in the middle of the furnace to draw a picture of the scattered flowers of the Heavenly Girl. Embossing carving, also known as the flower, refers to the erect text with raised patterns. There are also concave carving, that is, dark flowers, referring to the intimate text with concave patterns. As well as the flat carving with the pattern, the pattern is as flat as the bottom of the body, and after the glaze is covered, it does not feel like it when you touch it with your hands.
In this picture of the scattered flowers of the heavenly girl, Wang Hua did not use the Western painting method when painting Li Guer, but used the Chinese freehand painting method. The four fairies were doing various postures in the sky, dispersing flowers to the earth. Among the flying flowers in the sky, the four fairies were fluttering in the clothes.
Just like this, Wang Hua may have used a small knife to carve it very well, and even the stamens of the broken flower can be clearly visible.
Wang Yi could only appreciate it when he saw it, but he was also cumbersome. Where did his son learn the skills? He was simply a monster.
After Wang Hua painted the pattern, he also used the opening technique, but the opening technique was very light. In other words, it was not as good as the cloud patterns that seemed to appear. These faint willow leaf patterns will add a hint of fairy spirit after being burned.
After Wang Hua was finished, other utensils were also made. However, there were not many dishes and dishes burned this time, and the main ones were higher-end bottles, washers, tables, stoves, boxes, notes, etc.
In the blink of an eye, it was the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, and the new kiln was opened again.
In addition to the relatives and clan members who came, some merchants came and heard about it, as well as a small number of other cave owners. When the auspicious time and the ritual of worshiping the gods was held, the furnace door opened.
The workers carried out pieces of porcelain.
In an instant, hundreds of people present were silent.
Under the sunlight, the porcelain is slightly yellow in the white and a little blue in the yellow, just like beautiful young women, shining with a soft and elegant luster in the sunlight. Of course, there are also defects, because using a box, each lacquerware has a mouth on it.
You can see the fetus inside through the Mangkou. Compared with the earthy fetus in the porcelain caves in other caves in Gongxian County, these fetus appear to be a kind of bone white. Most of the people sitting are experts, and they think it is a manifestation of the transformation of the quality of the porcelain fetus at first sight. And compared with the new kiln porcelains tested in the previous few trials, this time it is almost all this kind of bone white fetus.
The clan members saw that Wang Hua promised to buy land for the poor in the clan and that there was hope. The technicians saw a porcelain storm coming, while other kiln owners saw piles of money.
After a long time, the master in the kiln remembered that the little master also made a piece of porcelain himself, so he picked out the porcelain stove. Then when he saw the porcelain stove, he was stunned and couldn't speak.
