Chapter 83: The Spirit of Craftsmanship
Xiao Zhang also sighed, this Bai Chongshan is also for his own good after all.
His thoughts are the same as those of his teacher Tang Qingchuan, and he should not be in a hurry as a young craftsman.
I didn't learn how to walk, so I went to run first.
In the hearts of these craftsmen of the older generation, they are a rare seedling, and the azure glaze is so well fired, they should be steady and steady, rather than impatient forward.
However, as long as Xiao Zhang knows the facts, what he wants to do is not to be proficient in everything, but to be excellent in everything.
It seems that today in Baizhong Mountain, I still can't find the answer I want.
Xiao Zhang could only give up.
But the reality is that he must fire a fine sky blue glazed dragon and phoenix bottle, so that he can complete this damn system task and obtain master-level pink and green glazed Ru porcelain firing skills.
Xiao Zhang believes that once he has mastered the master-level firing skills of pink and green glaze, then other including azure glaze and sky blue glaze will have corresponding improvements.
Now the Ru porcelain masters I know have basically rejected themselves, and of course, there is one Hua Xiangxiang who is also a Ru porcelain master.
But go to him yourself?
Xiao Zhang, who was a little helpless, accompanied Bai Chongshan to drink tea for a while, and when it was time for lunch, under the leadership of Bai Shengxia, Xiao Zhang went to have lunch again.
Only then did I say goodbye to Bai Chongshan and Bai Shengxia.
During the banquet, Bai Shengxia's words gave Xiao Zhang a new idea.
Bai Shengxia said: "Brother Xiao, in fact, you don't have to worry, many things are natural, do you see why this ancient person was able to fire the sky blue glaze? Half of it is his own exploration, and the other half is not a clever hand? Since Brother Xiao's azure glaze can be fired so well, maybe in the process of experimentation and exploration, the sky blue glaze can also be unexpectedly explored? It is good to have a teacher to lead, and you can avoid many detours, but how could the first batch of craftsmen have the leadership of a teacher? What we enjoy now is the crystallization of the wisdom of craftsmen of every dynasty for thousands of years, but how is it that there is no master master in modern society who can fire new varieties?"
After Xiao Zhang heard these words, he was really shocked.
This Bai Shengxia is worthy of being a famous master, and he is worthy of being the successor of the master.
Why haven't you thought about this yourself?
Lose yourself or the heir of the craftsman system?
The purpose of the system is naturally not to embarrass oneself, but to assist oneself to become the king of craftsmen, if the system wants to embarrass oneself, why bother.
In other words, it is not a matter of minutes for the system to help itself, and it is not very simple to directly transmit the fine firing skills of sky blue glaze to his own brain.
But why does the system prefer to let itself fire the sky blue glaze out of thin air?
It's hard for a good woman to cook without rice!
Who doesn't know this?
Then the answer is close.
The purpose of the system is to be able to explore and study by oneself, rather than relying on the system completely.
You can find the things that can be traced, and the system that cannot be traced will help.
Isn't exploration the true spirit of craftsmanship?
It's like Bai Shengxia said.
Why were ancient craftsmen able to study a variety of porcelain cultures?
Will my China become a country of porcelain?
And modern people can't?
Is there a new thing about the porcelain fired in this modern kiln?
The terracotta figurines of the Han and Qin dynasties are exquisite.
The Tang Dynasty Sancai was famous.
The five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty contended with a hundred schools.
Yuan Dynasty classic glaze red.
The blue and white porcelain of the Ming Dynasty shocked China and foreign countries.
Qing Dynasty enamel is even more fascinating.
The craftsmen of every dynasty are working hard, exploring and innovating for it.
are able to produce masterpieces of the time.
But what about modern times?
Modern craftsmen are the best masters, the pinnacle of Mount Tai, and the grandmasters of a school are just moving the works of the ancients to the present.
Xiao Zhang finally understood what his teacher Tang Qingchuan said at this moment.
The objects of the ancients are the real treasures, and the things they make themselves are just copying.
Xiao Zhang finally knew why the teacher said that he had three masters, and jade carving and Ru porcelain were not as good as repairing cultural relics.
Because the restoration of cultural relics can still prove an era, but jade carving and Ru porcelain can only be regarded as inheritance.
Xiao Zhang is a big awakening at this moment!
If you can only rely on the skills provided by the system, then whether it is three years later, five years later, or ten years later, the most you can achieve is nothing more than the level of your current teacher Tang Qingchuan or Bai Chongshan and others.
Become a national first-class ceramic master? Become a first-class craftsman named in the Forbidden City? Is this the end point you should reach?
An ordinary craftsman can achieve it as long as he works hard enough, right?
So what's the point of having your own system?
Thinking of this, Xiao Zhang smiled.
That's right, if you want to become a real craftsman, if you want to surpass all the craftsmen and masters that exist in the world now, you must be better than them, then you should have the spirit of exploration, the spirit of innovation, and the spirit of fearlessness of those craftsmen in ancient times.
Xiao Zhang nodded.
Sky blue glaze, why can't you study it yourself?
Bai Chongshan said that this azure glaze is just a variant of azure glaze.
Even if the glaze of azure glaze is different each time, the firing is still in a different state.
It's like the ultimate pure azure glaze that you mix and fire by yourself, which is the color that no one in the world can fire.
So can the sky blue glaze stump itself?
As long as the glaze is prepared and the firing position in the kiln is reasonable, the sky blue glaze will naturally be fired.
At this moment, Xiao Zhang finally understood why his teachers Tang Qingchuan and Bai Chongshan stopped him.
What they are afraid of is that they will be mixed with the azure glaze when they are groping for the azure glaze, and this pure azure glaze is not easy.
If the purity of the azure glaze cannot continue to move forward because of his own exploration of the azure glaze, or even the pure azure glaze works that are perfect in all aspects, it is more than worth the loss.
Because in their opinion, their pure azure glaze is already the biggest innovation that has not been seen in the modern porcelain circle for decades, right?
But now it's just the pinnacle of color, and there is no extreme in other aspects, so they won't let themselves touch the sky blue glaze.
Maybe when they can fire the perfect ultimate azure glaze work in all aspects, for them, it can be regarded as a real consummation.
They are protecting the most missing craftsman spirit for the craftsman!
So I only have two choices now, one is to fire a fully qualified pure azure glazed Ru porcelain, tell them that they can graduate, and then go to learn sky blue glaze.
The second is to explore by yourself and find the production method of sky blue glaze.
It's definitely more fun, isn't it?
Xiao Zhang made up his mind.
