Some ceramics from the Tang Dynasty imitated the shape of the Persian style, which was quite exotic.

The special effect of Tang Sancai glaze makes the charm of this foreign art play to the fullest.

The first cup of Tang Sancai Dragon, the whole is horn-shaped, which belongs to the more popular horn cup shape at that time.

The dragon head cup has smooth lines, green and brown glaze throughout the body, the glaze is uniform, and the color is gorgeous and elegant.

One end of the horn cup is decorated with a dragon's head, and the dragon's head is reviewed, and the mouth spits waves, which are connected with the mouth of the cup at the other end to form a ring handle. The body of the cup is decorated with a hoop print, which symbolizes the sprouting of grains and is a symbol of good luck.

Therefore, Caiyi has always been welcomed and sought after by everyone.

Of course, Xiao Zhang is still very satisfied with this craftsman's work.

Judging from the current mud tires, it is very in line with the rules of the shape and the charm of the original.

I believe that this work will not be too bad when fired.

Xiao Zhang switched the screen and began to pay attention to the other craftsmen.

After all, this time, Xiao Zhang not only has to complete the task of judges in the competition, but also select the future inheritor of the real Tang Sancai.

This is the key big thing.

So it always doesn't hurt for Xiao Zhang to take a look at it now.

Sure enough, after looking at more than a dozen people, Xiao Zhang's eyes were on a craftsman.

Next to this craftsman, who has successfully drawn a flat pot of Tang Sancai.

This is a rare work.

Because the original is also an antique of cultural relics that exist.

The height of the original is 20 cm.

This three-color flat pot is a kind of drinking utensils used for drinking in the Tang Dynasty.

A picture of a woman drinking alcohol is printed in the middle of the flat pot.

It is a true record of the drinking habits of "orchid dangyuan" and "bottle ladle wine" that prevailed in the Tang Dynasty.

The drunkenness and homesickness of the orchid reproduced in this three-color flat pot make the drinkers sympathize with and be moved.

It is now collected in the Zhengzhou Elephant Ceramics Museum.

It can be said that the original is very beautiful and precious.

Although the current Xiao Zhang does not know what state this craftsman will show on the glaze of the flat pot in the end, Xiao Zhang is looking forward to it.

After paying attention to the craftsman, Xiao Zhang continued to look through.

Finally, twenty minutes later, Xiao Zhang found a very amazing work.

This Tang Sancai mud tire is currently being improved.

But from the current mud tires, it seems to be very good.

Because it's a camel.

After so much time since the start of the competition in the morning, Xiao Zhang has seen a stunning work that satisfies him the most for the first time.

Because this is a mud tire of Tang Sancai camel-carrying figurines.

The craftsman was now taking down the mold and getting the mud tires ready.

This original Xiao Zhang can be said to be very familiar.

Tang Sancai camel figurines, three-color glazed pottery in the Tang Dynasty, national first-class cultural relics, unearthed in 1959 in the Tang Tomb of Zhongbao Village, Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, and now stored in the Shaanxi History Museum.

A true national treasure.

The original Tang Sancai camel figurines are 58 cm high and 43 cm long, with monochrome glazes such as blue, green and yellow. camel

The camel stands upright on a rectangular seat, opening its mouth and neighing.

The hunchback is covered with a round cushion with lace, on which a platform is erected, covered with a carved blanket, on which there are seven male figurines sitting cross-legged around the platform, holding sheng, pipa, pan flute, clapper, gonghou, flute, Xiao is playing, in the middle of the woman standing in a plump state singing and dancing.

The shape is novel, the shape of the vessel is huge, the camel is strong, the expression of the characters is rich, the image is realistic, the pottery art is exquisite, the color is gorgeous, and it is known as the work of pressing the volume in the Tang Sancai figurines.

It can be said that this original is very well-known.

At present, it is clear that this craftsman's work is a copy of the original.

From the shape to the size of the tire is very consistent.

How precious is this work?

Xiao Zhang can be responsible for saying that this original Tang Sancai camel-carrying figurines provides valuable information for the study of Tang Dynasty sculpture art, music and dance, and characters.

It is not only an important material evidence of the development and prosperity of culture, art, and production technology in the Tang Dynasty, but also witnesses the exchange and integration on the Silk Road.

In August 2013, it was even included in the "Third Batch of Catalogue of Cultural Relics Prohibited from Leaving the Country" by the State Administration of Cultural Heritage.

Exhibitions are not allowed to leave the country!

Cultural relics with such treatment are the most precious level.

For example, the Warring States Crystal Cup, or a map of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains.

Therefore, this craftsman came to imitate this three-color ware, which can be said to be a very skilled craftsman.

Because ordinary people can't pull the mud tires well.

It's too complicated.

This is a combination of figurines that is more complex than the equestrian figurines.

The equestrian warriors are Tang Sancai on horses of samurai.

And this camel carrying music figurines is the shape of five or six people riding on a camel holding musical instruments.

It's very difficult to control.

This camel-carrying figurine is extremely rare in the terracotta figurines, only two pieces have been found in Xi'an so far, which were unearthed in the western suburbs of Xi'an Xianyu Ting Tomb and Zhongbao Village Tang Tomb, and other areas have not found similar camel-carrying figurines.

The Tang Tomb in Zhongbao Village did not find the chronological epitaph due to theft, and the 11th year of the Tang Kaiyuan Dynasty in the court tomb was used as a reference, and the camel-carrying figurines unearthed from the Tang Tomb in Zhongbao Village should also be the work of the Kaiyuan period.

"What's the matter, Xiao Zhang, what are you looking at again?" Hong Lao suddenly walked over and asked.

Xiao Zhang pointed to the craftsman on the screen and said, "Look at the blank of this camel-carrying figurine." ”

"He, I know this person, Chen Sitong of Luoyang, one of the top masters of Tang Sancai in China, what can you see in this camel-carrying figurine?" asked Hong Lao with a smile.

Xiao Zhang looked at it carefully and said: "This Tang Sancai camel-carrying figurine uses the molding method, the sculpture method and the bonding method. ”

Tang Sancai's molding method is mainly affected by the casting and turning mold method of bronze production, generally speaking, the molding is divided into single-sided mold and double-sided mold, the camel of the object is the left and right mold clamping, and the camel-carrying figurines are the front and rear mold clamping, so the joint between the camel and the figure needs to use the bonding method, and many parts of the whole artifact have been precision processed, that is, the sculpture method is used to go deeper. ”

After Xiao Zhang finished speaking, Hong Lao nodded.

This depression is still powerful in the end.

"I didn't expect this work to appear in this competition, no one has imitated this uncontrollable work for many years, and this camel figurine has a very deep meaning. Hong Lao said with a sigh.

"Please also ask Mr. Hong to elaborate. Xiao Zhang nodded.

Hong Lao sighed and said: "This Tang Sancai camel figurines vividly show the prosperity and exchange scenes of commerce, culture, music and other fields on the Silk Road, and unfold a true picture of exquisite inter-ethnic culture and music integration for future generations, which is of great reference value for the study of music, song and dance, costumes and cultural exchanges in the Tang Dynasty." ”

According to these characteristics, it can be seen that the image of this group of dance figurines is different from Hu dance, and it should be the new sound of Hu Bu that prevailed in Kaiyuan and Tianbao, and the pipa and gonghou in the seven musical instruments shown in the three-color camel figurines are all transmitted from the Western Regions, becoming a strong proof of the eastward expansion of music in the Western Regions. Hong Lao paused and said.

Xiao Zhang was suddenly stunned.

"Elder Hong, this is the historical and cultural value of artworks, which can prove the authenticity of history!" Xiao Zhang asked.
