Chapter 279: Equestrian Warriors: That's Infantry and Cavalry!
It's almost dark.
There is basically no one in the venue anymore.
Only Xiao Zhang and Tang Xinghe are still left to do it.
Tang Xinghe is also almost in the final state.
The larger the jar, the more stability is required, which is the key point, because the jar is hollow and has no center point and no support point.
The bigger it is, the easier it is to scatter ......
The more likely it is to be dangerous when firing.
Therefore, Tang Xinghe's big jar is more careful and cautious.
After all, many kilns fire this kind of large jar in one kiln, dozens or hundreds, and then only a few or a dozen may be successful.
But this tournament doesn't have such a high failure rate.
Therefore, Tang Xinghe must be cautious and ensure that his jar is perfect.
The same is true for Xiao Zhang.
These figurines are even more careful......
The middle must be empty......
In this way, it dries quickly in the shade, but it is also easy to fire when firing......
Xiao Zhang is also anxious, half a day has passed, and his kiln has not been opened yet, which is more than half a day behind others.
After a while, everyone is going to open a kiln.
The Ruyao competition can't be left too far behind.
Xiao Zhang also began to speed up the progress.
After almost half an hour later, Tang Xinghe finally got all the three big jars, and then dried the three big jars in turn.
At this time, Xiao Zhang got his horse warriors right.
Tang Xinghe walked over and looked at Xiao Zhang's equestrian warriors, and then said, "Brother, the work is very good!"
Xiao Zhang was stunned, this literary uncle was talking to himself?
And listening to this accent or a Northeasterner?
"Big brother is from the Northeast?" Xiao Zhang asked with his head up.
"Yes, my hometown is from the Northeast, but I came out early, I came out in my twenties, and the local accent is difficult to change, but the people around me have been infected by me with the taste of the Northeast. Tang Xinghe said with a smile.
Xiao Zhang also smiled, the magic of the Northeast people.
"Brother, you can directly start figurines, you don't need molds, it's very powerful, and I think your level of delicacy is completely enough!" Tang Xinghe said.
"Yes, big brother, don't you don't use molds!" Xiao Zhang said with a smile.
The mold used in Liu Chengfeng's home is because it is the first time to fire Tang Sancai, and the mold is more convenient for hollow firing......
But Xiao Zhang now has a way to solve this problem, and gives the refinement of Xiao Zhang's direct blank more charm, and Xiao Zhang naturally does not need a mold.
"The future is terrifying, I have seen your works in the preliminary competition, the glaze is a must, I am optimistic about you!" Tang Xinghe said with a smile.
"Big brother's glaze is a must, it's almost catching up with Van Gogh's paintings!" Xiao Zhang continued to smile and said, treating this literary big brother, Xiao Zhang felt much better than Cao Jiuge.
As he spoke, Xiao Zhang's hands did not stop, in addition to the horse riding figurines, this second samurai figurine also began to be used.
"You're not too late!Which one are you going to use?" Tang Xinghe asked as soon as he saw that in addition to the horse warriors and the warrior figurines in his hand, there was also a big horse and a lady figurine beside Xiao Zhang.
This is more than the required number.
"That's good, whichever one you want, you can do anything, I can't do it when I have time, I'll use it all!" Xiao Zhang said with a smile.
"Hahahaha, you kid, you're really funny!" Tang Xinghe smiled.
Xiao Zhang also smiled, as if he was joking Yes, I may have really used it......
"Okay, brother, you keep coming on, I'm leaving......" Tang Xinghe waved his hand and prepared to leave.
Xiao Zhang also nodded, which was regarded as a farewell.
This Tang Xinghe is still quite interesting.
But this time, the whole venue is really left with Xiao Zhang himself.
Xiao Zhang looked at the warrior figurines in his hand and began to prepare to continue pulling the mud tires.
This samurai figurine is actually somewhat related to the equestrian figurines......
What are the samurai figurines...... There are also several types, including the warrior figurines of the Han Dynasty and the warrior figurines of the Qin Dynasty...... Of course, there are also the warrior figurines in Tang Sancai.
In the Qin Dynasty, the warrior figurines were the most common of all the terracotta warriors, with round hair and a serious face, wearing a long coat with a collar on the right side, wearing armor, shorts on the lower body, legs tied around the legs, some wearing short boots, and some wearing square mouths and head-to-head shoes.
And Tang Sancai warrior figurines are a Tang Sancai works of the Tang Dynasty, the warrior figurines have both form and spirit, the state of the air is revealed, Seiko production, is a good art treasure.
The face of the samurai figurines is painted with pastel, without glaze, and yellow, green, and white glaze is applied under the neck.
The head is tied in a bun, the eyes are round, the eyebrows are thick, the nose is large, the beard under the nose is upturned to the sides, and the face is extremely fierce. Wearing bright light armor, there is a round guard on the left and right sides of the chest, and the shoulders are covered with a drape in the shape of a dragon's head.
Raise your right hand into a fist and hold your left hand on your waist.
Pedal high boots and stand upright on a hollow seat.
Of course, the shape of this samurai figurine is a more traditional one, and it is also a more famous one, because this one has been seen by Xiao Zhang himself.
It's in the Palace Museum!
The height can even reach about 101 cm.
And the piece that Xiao Zhang is going to burn now is not so big...... It's just thirty-eight centimeters!
Of course, more than 70 centimeters is already very large......
Basically, the height of Tang Sancai is also relatively fixed, for example, most of the figurines are about forty or fifty centimeters.
And the same goes for horses and camels......
Even if it is a horse warrior, it is at most fifty centimeters.
Xiao Zhang is calculating, his figurine set is all connected together, counting the warrior figurines, horses, and the overall length of the carriage is almost eighty or ninety centimeters.
And the height is better, basically the highest place is the height of the riding warriors, and the coverage of the ladies and ladies sitting in the carriage, basically fifty centimeters is enough.
In other words, Xiao Zhang's third Tang Sancai work is a work of almost one meter by half a meter......
It's definitely bigger than the tomb beast I saw before......
Xiao Zhang took a breath of cool air, it seemed to be a little powerful!
This warrior figurine and equestrian figurines are actually the difference between infantry and cavalry.
Moreover, in the ancient dynasties of our country, there are also records of horse warriors.
For example, there is a Tang Sancai horseback hunting figurine!
It belongs to a piece of porcelain from the Tang Dynasty, and this piece is a rare fine product in Tang Sancai, this horse is dark brown all over, and its legs, mane, and tail are brownish-red. The head is small and the neck is long, the fat and body are strong, the proportions are accurate, and the flesh and bones are clear.
Dressed in bright green tunics, holding the reins in their hands and stepping on the saddle, the warrior figurines are plump, free-spirited, and vivid, standing on the rectangular base with their heads held high, mighty and majestic ready to run into the distance. What is particularly interesting is a small animal sitting behind a figurine, looking for prey, which is endearing.
It can be said that it is the best of the best, this is the known Tang Sancai cultural relics, and the unknown is more interesting.
