"The Tang Sancai National Selection Competition, mainly to select the responsible business responsible for the Tang Sancai section of the world's ceramics joint exhibition, and all the selection lists are basically from the last session to participate in the national ceramics joint exhibition exhibition area of the business selection, we must be responsible as the judges of this competition. After Xiao Zhang entered the house, Hong Lao began to speak.

"Tomorrow's opening ceremony will be ready to start the day after tomorrow, so everyone must take it strictly and seriously......" Hong Lao continued to say to everyone.

In addition to attending the opening ceremony, Xiao Zhang also had to attend the opening ceremony on the second day, because all the contestants had to prepare for the blue and white porcelain competition.

So Xiao Zhang is carefully arranging the time.

......

The next day.

Xiao Zhang came to Mr. Hong's house early and walked towards the opening ceremony with Mr. Hong.

Xiao Zhang has participated in the opening ceremony many times, and the process is almost the same.

After the host's introduction, Xiao Zhang began to follow the judges to the stage and be introduced by the host in turn.

When Xiao Zhang was introduced, everyone in the audience was suddenly surprised.

Such a young Xiao Zhang turned out to be a judge?

And when Xiao Zhang's resume was introduced, everyone was taken aback.

This young man is the double champion of Ru Porcelain and Tang Sancai, who was in the limelight some time ago?

Sure enough, the judges are not ordinary people.

Let's say that Xiao Zhang finished participating in the opening ceremony, watched a group of players enter the arena, and then began to prepare for Tang Sancai's firing.

Xiao Zhang sat in the innermost room and watched the broadcast on the big screen.

And by this time, many judges had already chosen to leave.

"Xiao Zhang, you can also go, just come out at the end of the judges, we mainly judge the final results of the competition, and the process in the middle is not very useful."

Xiao Zhang nodded and said, "Although the final champion can be selected from the final process, I think it is also necessary to take a look at their blank drawing process and glazing process on the spot." ”

......

Xiao Zhang's gaze was fixed on a craftsman in his thirties on the screen.

At this time, the craftsman had already finished Tang Sancai's mud and was preparing to draw the first mud tire.

And judging from the techniques of this craftsman, this is obviously a dragon head cup of Tang Sancai.

This Tang Sancai's cup Xiao Zhang is also familiar, after all, he has encountered the Fengshou Cup before.

Because the Tang Sancai Dragon First Cup is a very classic cultural relic, antique shape.

The original is very well-known.

This original dragon head cup is a cultural relic of the Tang Dynasty.

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.

It is now collected in the Zhengzhou Elephant Ceramics Museum.

Xiao Zhang: Since Tang Sancai's theoretical knowledge reached its peak, it can be said that he is very familiar with these Tang Sancai's knowledge.

All kinds of beast-shaped cups in this Tang Sancai, such as the elephant head cup, the dragon head cup, the duck head cup, the goose head cup, etc., are mostly from the gold and silver of the Persian Sassanid Dynasty, and the three-dimensional relief pattern is decorated by the three-color glaze, which is more luxurious and gorgeous.

The corresponding to the dragon head cup is naturally the phoenix head cup.

Xiao Zhang watched as the craftsman quickly got the mud tire of the dragon head cup right, and then began to pull the blank phoenix head cup.

This phoenix head cup is equally precious.

The phoenix head cup is also a cultural relic.

This three-color printed phoenix head cup adopts the shape of a phoenix as a whole, with ochre and green glaze all over the body.

The phoenix on the cup looks back, containing the English chew, the things in the spit are connected with the mouth of the cup, forming an annular handle, and the phoenix head and neck become the holding part of the cup, which is naturally rounded.

The cup gradually widens from the neck of the phoenix to the end to form an opening of the cup.

The overall lines are smooth, and the phoenix's demeanor is lifelike.

The body of the cup is decorated with a four-petal pattern with a printing process, and the tail is a circular decorative pattern.

Of course, as a pair, the collection is also collected in the Zhengzhou Elephant Ceramics Museum.

This craftsman is very attentive to the blank drawing.

Xiao Zhang saw everything in his eyes.

It can be said that the overall effect is very good.

Especially the integrity of the tire shape and the overall feel.

The dragon and the phoenix correspond, and the size complements each other.

The craftsman nodded in satisfaction when he finished drawing the blank, and then picked up the third piece of mud.

Xiao Zhang carefully looked at the craftsman's information.

This is a craftsman from Luoyang named Zhang Jin'an.

It seems that he has a soft spot for the dragon and phoenix first cup, and the craftsman's third mud tire is still a dragon head cup.

It's just that the overall shape is completely different from the previous one.

Because this is another dragon's head cup in history.

Xiao Zhang is also very familiar with this.

This genuine piece was unearthed in the ruins of the Tang Dynasty palace in Luoyang, and it was actually a vessel used by the court.

The body of the vessel is embossed with a dragon head with blazing eyes, and the water jet from the mouth is rolled up into a cup wrench, and the churning waves and water jets the size of rice grains are scattered on the body of the vessel, making the dragon spitting out the mist.

This utensil is cleverly conceived, the shape is exquisite, the glaze is gorgeous, and it is a three-color masterpiece in the Tang Dynasty.

At present, this piece is in the collection of Luoyang Tang Sancai Pottery Museum.

It seems that this guy is very good at this type of instrument.

Judging by the current state of completion, this is the case.

This first pair of dragon and phoenix cups is a cup with rounded sharp corners.

The second is a round cup with a round bottom.

It's two styles entirely.

The treasures of the second dragon Tang Sancai dragon first cup belong to the kind of bright color, vivid shape, the whole dragon head is a cup type, the dragon's mouth, teeth, eyes, and beard should be complete, and the dragon's tongue stretches out and rolls up for the cup handle.

Beautifully crafted, the form is realistic and lifelike. The glaze inside and outside the vessel is green, yellow and white.

The shape is unique and novel, and the glaze is gorgeous.

Therefore, Xiao Zhang also believes that this cup will be very dazzling when fired.

It's just that I don't know how this craftsman's glaze is doing.

Glazing can be a very crucial step.

This firing dragon head cup can also be regarded as a tribute to Chinese civilization,

The dragon is the totem of the Chinese nation and the symbol of the unity of the Chinese nation.

The rudiments of the dragon were already sprouting in the late Neolithic period.

The ancients had various interpretations of the image of the dragon: the scaly one was called the dragon, the horned one was called the dragon, the hornless one was called the dragon, and the winged one was called the dragon.

The Tang Dynasty was an unprecedentedly prosperous and powerful dynasty in the history of our country, and achieved high achievements in culture, politics, economy, diplomacy, etc., and was one of the prosperous eras in Chinese history and one of the world's great powers at that time.

Under the social and economic conditions of unprecedented prosperity, the production and use of ceramics in the Tang Dynasty became more popular, and the varieties and shapes of ceramic products were diverse, and the degree of fineness far exceeded that of the previous generation, and the shape of the vessel also showed a rich modeling style according to the preferences of the people at that time.

Tang Sancai, which appeared at this time, is known for its vivid and realistic shape, gorgeous color and rich life.

The Tang Dynasty was a period in history when China exported culture and technology to neighboring countries, and at the same time, it also drew a lot of nutrients from foreign civilizations.

With the frequent exchange of Chinese and Western cultures, the Persian culture of West Asia increasingly influenced the cultural artworks of the Tang Dynasty.
