Chapter 273: The Origin of Azure Color

Jingdezhen, the porcelain capital.

After Li Han, Su Yuqing, and Qin Xiaoyue arrived, they first booked a room in a hotel, and then walked out of the hotel and arrived at Cidu Avenue.

There are a lot of people, both locals and people who come to play.

Walking into the ceramic history exhibition area, it is obvious that you can feel a sense of ceramic history and culture.

Walking in the expo area, Su Yuqing asked Li Handao: "Do you say that a song can really make people interested in ceramics and ceramic culture?"

Li Han said: "If the song is good enough, there is still a little possibility." Although it is impossible to listen to that song, everyone suddenly became interested in ceramics and ceramic culture. But it is still very possible for people to be interested in learning more about ceramics. ”

Su Yuqing said: "But can there be such a good enough song?"

Li Han said: "Maybe." ”

Su Yuqing smiled and said, "Where is it?"

Li Han smiled: "I don't have any inspiration for the time being. Aren't there a lot of musicians trying to create right now? Let's see what they do?"

Su Yuqing said: "I don't have much hope for their works. ”

Li Han smiled and said, "Yuqing, you seem to have a lot of love for ceramics. What's your favorite ceramic?"

Su Yuqing said: "I really like ceramics. Because, ceramics is a culture and inheritance worthy of the pride of every one of our Yanguo people. Our country's ceramics have been famous all over the world since ancient times, and for thousands of years, it can be said that the porcelain is beautiful and beautiful??。 As for what kind of ceramics I like? It's hard to say. Each type of ceramic has its own unique culture and charm. If you have to say one, it may be blue and white porcelain. ”

"Blue and white porcelain?" Li Han nodded, "Blue and white porcelain is one of the mainstream varieties, and it belongs to underglaze colored porcelain. It has begun to appear as early as the Tang and Song dynasties. By the Yuan Dynasty, it was already very mature. Then it reached its peak in the Qing Dynasty. ”

Qin Xiaoyue said: "Li Han, are you so familiar with ceramics?"

Li Han smiled: "I only know a little bit of skin. The ceramic culture is broad and profound, and it is not so easy to get familiar with it. ”

Su Yuqing said: "That's true. There is an azure ceramics workshop in front, and there should be blue and white porcelain in it, how about we go in and have a look?"

Li Han and Qin Xiaoyue naturally have no opinion.

The three of them walked into the Azure Ceramics Workshop, which was full of various ceramics, and almost every piece of ceramics was very exquisite.

These ceramics are claimed to be made through the traditional handmade porcelain process, and I don't know if they are true or false?

Li Han and the three of them can't see these famous halls.

Looking all the way, Qin Xiaoyue suddenly let out a "huh", stood in front of a porcelain, and said, "Why does this porcelain only have one color?"

Li Han and Su Yuqing looked at it, and sure enough, there was only one color, which is relatively rare in porcelain.

Generally, porcelain will have quite fancy ornamentation, and the color does not look simple.

However, this porcelain does not have any ornamentation, which is quite special among all porcelain.

Why is this happening?

Li Han thought about it, his knowledge of ceramics was not rich. However, he still thought of a possibility, which should be Ru kiln porcelain.

Ru kiln porcelain seems to be generally a color, right? And it is this kind of color that seems to be blue, blue and green.

Li Han smiled: "Xiaoyue, what color do you think this porcelain is?"

"Color?" Qin Xiaoyue said, "Cyan." And then it seems to be a little bluish. ”

Li Han said: "That's right. Not exactly, though. There is actually an accurate statement about its color. ”

"Oh?" Qin Xiaoyue was puzzled and asked, "What is the exact statement?"

Li Han said: "This color is called azure. ”

"Azure blue?" Qin Xiaoyue said, "Why is it azure?" and what color is azure?"

Li Han said: "Azure is actually not a fixed color. What is azure? I can't define that. This is because it is the color that appears in the sky just after a heavy rain and when it suddenly clears up. That color is not set in stone. ”

Qin Xiaoyue said: "Since it is a color that cannot be defined, it is not fixed. Why is this ceramic color called 'azure'?"

Li Han said with a smile: "The rain has passed the sky and the blue clouds**, this color will be the future." ”

What?

Qin Xiaoyue was stunned and said, "What do you mean? It's like a poem but not like a poem." ”

Su Yuqing said: "I know this, according to legend, this sentence was said by Song Huizong. During the Song Dynasty, the Ru kiln was exclusively used by the royal family. Therefore, after the kiln official finished firing the Ru kiln porcelain, he went to Song Huizong to name its color. It happened to be raining heavily, and the sky suddenly cleared again. Song Huizong looked at the colors in the sky and said, "The rain has passed through the sky and the clouds**, this color will be the future." and named the color 'azure'. ”

Li Han smiled: "Yes, if you want to see the azure color, you have to wait until after a heavy rain, and then the sky is extremely clear." It is not easy to break. ”

Qin Xiaoyue finally understood, there was such a saying.

At this time, someone next to him suddenly said: "'The rain has passed the sky and the clouds **, this color will be the future.'" Two young men at their age still knew that. Not bad, not bad. ”

The three of them turned their heads at the same time, and saw that the person who spoke was a man about fifty years old, who was looking at them nodding and smiling.

Li Han said: "It made Mr. laugh." ”

The man is none other than the head of Jingdezhen's cultural department, Lu Hongliang.

This Tianqing ceramic workshop is the official ceramic craft workshop in Jingdezhen.

Therefore, Lu Hongliang has come here a lot of times.

As soon as I came in today, I heard two young people talking about the origin of "azure", and I couldn't help but be a little happy.

Not many people know about it, let alone two people who are so young.

Lu Hongliang was very pleased, and then praised unsteadily.

After hearing Li Han say this, Lu Hongliang said: "What the young man said is very good. None of them seem to be locals, so they came here to play?"

Li Han said: "That's true. I'm from Funan, and the two of them came from the magic capital. ”

Lu Hongliang smiled: "Welcome! Welcome! The three of you come to the store, but you want to choose ceramics?"

Li Han said: "I don't choose it for the time being, it's inconvenient to hold." We just planned to come in and take a look at the blue and white porcelain. ”

Lu Hongliang said: "I see. Three please. By the way, those over there are blue and white porcelain. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. ”

Li Han hurriedly thanked him, and then asked, "Dare to ask what Mr. is called?"

Lu Hongliang smiled: "My surname is Lu, Lu Hongliang." ”

Li Han said: "It turned out to be Mr. Lu. ”

After that, Li Han and the three of them said goodbye to Lu Hongliang and went to the blue and white porcelain area.
