Chapter 402: Absolutely Beautiful Blue and White Ruyi
This kind of plain and elegant feeling is the most suitable type of porcelain, and the elements must be elegant, and everything must pay attention to a complementary effect!
There is really a piece of porcelain in Xiao Zhang's mind, if it is matched with blue and white porcelain, it can be said to be a very match made in heaven.
Because, this is a wishful thinking.
Ruyi's shape, with the color of blue and white porcelain, the effect of this match must be very good.
Xiao Zhang said to do it, and this wishful thinking does not need to use a wheeled car, because the shape is too delicate and too delicate.
It is necessary for Xiao Zhang to draw the blank by hand.
Xiao Zhang, who chose a piece of clay, began to fiddle with it.
Xiao Zhang's speed was very fast, and it didn't take long for the approximate shape to come out.
Su Yuli on the side of the mud tire that Xiao Zhang had made before could still see what it was.
But the thing in Xiao Zhang's hand in front of him really made Su Yuli strange.
What the hell is this?
"Brother Xiao, what are you doing, this seems to be an itch?" Su Yuli asked curiously.
Xiao Zhang smiled and said, "You're right!"
After a pause, Xiao Zhang continued: "This mud tire is actually a Ruyi, if it is Yu Ruyi, it is estimated that you will know it!." Xiao Zhang said with a smile.
Su Yuli nodded, and then said, "It's Ruyi, I thought it was an itch!"
"Well, it's actually true, in fact, many people know it when they hear it, but they don't know what Ruyi is. Xiao Zhang explained with a smile.
"Evolved from the ancient wat and scratching stick, most of them are S-shaped, similar to the shape of the Big Dipper. ”
Su Yuli nodded and smiled: "It's really tickling, I thought you were teasing me!"
"I really didn't tease you, I remember that during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the shape of Ruyi was dominated by the bending palm style of the handle, and later developed into a flat handle in the Tang Dynasty, and the top bend evolved into a neck, and the head of the handle was a three-petal cirrus cloud shape. ”
After a pause, Xiao Zhang continued: "In the Ming and Qing dynasties, Ruyi developed to its heyday, and was widely popular because of its precious materials and exquisite craftsmanship. ”
After Xiao Zhang finished speaking, Su Yuli smiled again and said, "This thing was originally an itch, and it was very precious!"
"Of course, later many courtiers often offered Ruyi to congratulate the royal family on their birthdays, and the royal family also rewarded the princes and ministers with Ruyi, and Ruyi gradually became a symbol of power and wealth for the upper class, but in the late Ming Dynasty, Ruyi became a scholar's object for scholars who admired the ancient style because of its unique elegance, so this itch also has spring!" Xiao Zhang said with a smile.
"Moreover, it is also carved with jade and fired with porcelain, if it is broken when this scratch, wouldn't it be distressing to death......" Su Yuli shook her head.
Forehead......
Xiao Zhang expressed embarrassment.
No one will use this to tickle in the later stage, okay!
Whose itch is Hetian jade? It's your grandfather Su Daqiang's itchy a lot, that is, made of bamboo!
"I said, Brother Xiao, you use blue and white porcelain to burn itchy scratches, isn't it a bit extravagant? And have you ever seen the tickles of this blue and white porcelain?" Su Yuli was puzzled.
Xiao Zhang shook his head and said: "I repeat, the predecessor of this Ruyi is Tickle, but the follow-up is already a precious work of art, and the materials of Ruyi are extremely diverse, all kinds of jade, gold, silver, copper, iron, rhino horn, ivory, bamboo, wood, ceramics and so on." ”
After a pause, Xiao Zhang said: "The Ruyi of this jade can be divided into jadeite, white jade, green jade, jasper, black jade, crystal, malachite, agate, coral, etc., and the decoration techniques are also very colorful, with a variety of Chinese knots, such as what plate long knots, copper coin knots, bows, knots, longevity knots, etc., not only have a harmonious visual effect, but also add the charm of Ruyi." ”
"That's right, you also said that it's all jade Ruyi, and I haven't seen this blue and white porcelain!" Su Yuli continued to ask.
"I don't want to say more about this question, Sister Yuli, I want you to go home and ask Grandpa Su, you can see if Grandpa Su has fired Ru porcelain...... "Xiao Zhang smiled.
In fact, there are many categories of Ruyi, and the process is complicated by enamel Ruyi, wood inlay Ruyi, natural wood Ruyi, gold Ruyi, jade Ruyi, agarwood Ruyi, etc.
Moreover, in Xiao Zhang's cognition, this Ruyi is also carved with dragon patterns, and some are still on the jade Ruyi, inlaid with tourmaline, turquoise, and gemstone to carve flowers, most of which are peach fruits, Ganoderma lucidum, bats, etc.
The meaning of the bat is good fortune, and the peach is longevity, which is a common blessing pattern in the Ming and Qing dynasties.
Xiao Zhang remembered that one of the major categories in the Qing Palace's Ruyi collection was the unique craftsmanship of the wooden handle and the jade Ruyi.
The texture of this Ruyi wood handle is divided into red sandalwood, pear, boxwood, sandalwood and sandalwood.
Some of the wood is carved with auspicious patterns, some are inlaid with filigree patterns, and some are plain without ornamentation.
Ruyi's body is inlaid with jade carvings, and these jade ornaments are basically made of ancient jade from previous dynasties, and of course, some of them are specially milled by the Qing Palace.
In addition, there are many rare categories of court ruyi in the Qing Dynasty, such as dyed bone ruyi, crane top red ruyi, etc.
And in terms of shape, there will also be ingenious Ruyi, such as the double-headed Ruyi and the shape, as well as the kind of five-inlaid Ruyi with two stalks of Ruyi.
Xiao Zhang was imagining various wishful shapes while talking to Su Yuli, but the movements in his hands did not stop.
Almost soon, this wishful mud tire appeared.
"Okay, wishful thinking, follow my heart, this wishful mud tire will be done!" Xiao Zhang said with a smile.
Chen Nanshan, who was beside him, nodded involuntarily.
In his heart, he secretly said that this Xiao Zhang was the first place in the National Ru Porcelain Competition, and the mud tire drawing kung fu in this hand was really powerful.
I know how difficult Ruyi's shape is, even if it is a jade carver carving a jade Ruyi, I am afraid it will not be as easy as Xiao Zhang's mud tire blank.
This has to say that Xiao Zhang does have his own uniqueness.
"Xiao Zhang, how much have you got?" asked Chen Nanshan.
"Don't worry, it won't be slow, I'm chasing you. Xiao Zhang put down Ruyi and said with a smile.
Although Chen Nanshan has now made nearly ten mud tires, Xiao Zhang's speed is not slow.
What's next?
The current Xiao Zhang's mentality is very peaceful, and he doesn't even regard it as a competition, but a normal self-refinement.
How comfortable is it......
What's next?
Xiao Zhang pondered for a moment, and already had the answer in his heart.
With a new piece of mud in hand, Xiao Zhang began to draw the blank.
