Chapter 216: What Kind of Immortal Metal Glaze Is This?

Xiao Zhang was not so nervous in the face of Tang Sancai's firing, on the contrary, he was very excited, it can be said that after such a long time of firing Ru porcelain, Xiao Zhang is already very handy in firing porcelain.

Although the firing process of this Tang Sancai is completely different from that of Ru porcelain.

But it's all the same.

It is nothing more than the selection of raw materials in the early stage, and the subsequent process is not too similar, whether it is weighing, grinding, or making mud, this is the same truth.

But this Tang Sancai's mud tire is different from that of Ru porcelain, which is hand-drawn by Xiao Zhang on a wheeling car, because after all, the Ru porcelain utensils are axisymmetrical, unless they are ornaments......

Therefore, drawing the blank through the rotation of the wheel car can better make the shape of Ru porcelain ware better, but Tang Sancai is not at all, and Tang Sancai's ware type has almost no utensils......

Because since ancient times, the shape of Tang Sancai is mostly based on horses, camels, small domestic animals, or human figures, and it is difficult to see Tang Sancai of utensils.

This makes Xiao Zhang's mature and perfect blank drawing skills completely useless.

What Tang Sancai needs is a mold......

The mud is molded into a tire so that it can be formed!

Xiao Zhang remembered that when he was firing in the kiln used by those masters in the Forbidden City, he happened to meet Liu Chengfeng's kiln to fire Tang Sancai, and he also blew up the kiln at that time! Xiao Zhang also extended a helping hand.

At that time, from the firing of the plain tires to the secondary firing in the later period, Xiao Zhang was watching in front of him.

The shape of this plain tire is basically the shape of those animals.

First, it requires neat shape and vivid aura, but requires the mud tire to be complete and will not have the problem of mud tire rupture......

Therefore, the mud tires that fired Tang Sancai were also very difficult to control.

And the temperature of the plain firing is not the same as that of Ru porcelain.

After firing, it is cooled and glazed on the top glaze......

The glazing before this glaze firing is a new science......

Because the reason why this Tang Sancai is called this name is because there are many kinds of glazes, and the colors are different, and all kinds of glazes need to be configured on the body of this plain tire, and then they can enter the kiln for secondary firing......

This is the hardest step.

These various glazes are not fused, but applied separately on the mud tire.

It's not a simple technology......

Basically, it can be seen from some unearthed Tang Sancai's body, its glaze color is clearly distinguished, and the transition is very natural......

This is a very difficult method of glazing.

Moreover, when the glaze is fired, it is necessary to ensure the change of the glaze in the kiln......

The changes between several glazes must be safe and sound, and each can achieve the most beautiful state!

Xiao Zhang took a deep breath, and when he was really about to start preparing to burn Tang Sancai, he suddenly realized that this Tang Sancai was too difficult......

It's not your average difficulty......

Because this is the need to use various oxide metals as colorants in the glaze, and present various colors after calcination!

Tang Sancai's firing has a history of more than 1,300 years, which belongs to absorbing the characteristics of Chinese painting, sculpture and other art crafts, the process is very complex, of course, the main material of raw materials is still the kaolin that Xiao Zhang is very familiar with.

And it is finely processed kaolin, so that the body can be made, and then the use of minerals containing copper, iron, cobalt, manganese, gold and other minerals as the glaze colorant, and in the glaze to add an appropriate amount of lead slag and lead ash as an auxiliary, because the fluidity of the lead glaze is very strong, in the process of firing, the glaze spreads and flows around, and the glaze of various colors begins to infiltrate and blend with each other, forming a natural and mottled gorgeous color, which is the formation of our Chinese very unique style of Tang Sancai, this traditional handicraft.

Xiao Zhang pondered carefully, and he almost sorted out the firing process of Tang Sancai, and the rest was to make a splash at the conference.

After all, this Tang Sancai is not a good one who knows how to fire.

There are so many big kilns that burn Tang Sancai in China, and there are also many masters who are famous for firing and imitating Tang Sancai, but they are far inferior to Tang Qingchuan in terms of status and achievements......

Or in terms of commercial value, it is not as extensive as Ru porcelain......

So Xiao Zhang wasn't very worried.

Originally, he was still thinking about the urgency of time, but Xiao Zhang wanted to find Liu Chengfeng.

You can follow Liu Chengfeng to the side, or use Liu Chengfeng's existing raw materials and tools to feel it yourself.

But looking at it now, time is really limited, and I don't have time to do it.

Tang Qingchuan had already told himself that the national joint exhibition would start in two days.

I only have two days of preparation time for tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and to burn Liu Chengfeng to burn a kiln Tang Sancai, even if it is not enough to fire one.

After thinking about it carefully, Xiao Zhang suddenly discovered a new problem, and he didn't even have the raw materials to fire Tang Sancai......

If you fire Ru porcelain, it is better, this raw material does not even need to be prepared by his teacher Tang Qingchuan, and he has stored a large number of high-quality raw materials in the teacher's workshop, although it is not as good as Ruzhou's, but it is also very good.

Moreover, before leaving, Xiao Zhang also specially asked Su Zhen of the Su family to bring a copy to himself when he got local raw materials for the Su family.

Therefore, in the future, the raw materials for Xiao Zhang's firing of Ru porcelain will only get better and better.

If nothing else, the raw materials of this Ruzhou should already be on the way.

At least before the game.

It must be enough for Xiao Zhang to use this competition.

But this Tang Sancai's raw materials are not like this at all.

The most critical kaolin for making the body is finely crafted kaolin, and this glaze is an ore containing various metals.

These things are not reserved at all.

After thinking about it, Xiao Zhang decided that he still had to go to Liu Chengfeng!

After all, this is a big porcelain circle in the capital, and Xiao Zhang only knows a master who burns Tang Sancai, and that is Liu Chengfeng.

Xiao Zhang looked at the time, it must be inappropriate to disturb others at this point in time......

Get home and get some rest, and talk to yourself tomorrow morning.

If you want to come here, Liu Chengfeng will not miss this national joint exhibition.

and his female apprentice, He Xiyu, this young lady has not been in touch for a long time, maybe she can meet at this conference.

......

Xiao Zhang, who returned home, secretly said that Uncle Dog still hadn't come back, and he didn't know where he and his little aunt had gone to fool around......

These two middle-aged people really don't stop, as if they are reliving their young years, they are not in the Su family, nor are they in Uncle Dog's house, don't they go out to open a house every day?

Uncle Dog's age, that waist!

Xiao Zhang sighed, this place doesn't even have a space to take a bath.

Although you can consider not buying a car first, it seems that you can consider changing the house to a comfortable place to live......

After all, it's so inconvenient here......

By the way, how much money do you have?

More than a million?

How did the house in the capital be sold?

Enough, right?
