Fang Yun said: "Hungary is a landlocked country located in central Europe, bordering Austria, Slovakia, Ukraine, Romania, Serbia, Croatia and Slovenia. ”

"Okay, I have friends in Austria, and I'll help Miss Fang contact her friends in Austria when the time comes. ”

"Okay, thank you so much for your help in Hungary this time, you can be my tour guide, take me to many attractions in Hungary, and explain to me patiently, I am really happy. ”

"I'm also very happy that Miss Fang can let the camera brother take pictures of our Hungarian scenery and bring it back to China to show it to the Chinese audience, so that the Chinese audience can know more about Hungary, I think it's a good thing, the Chinese audience is only familiar with European and American countries, and they don't know much about our Hungary. ”

"I hope that China and Hungary will achieve in-depth docking of development strategies, strengthen policy communication, facility connectivity, unimpeded trade, financial integration, and people-to-people bonds, China and Hungary have profound cultural heritage, and hope that the two sides will strengthen exchanges and mutual learning in the field of people-to-people exchanges, strengthen bilateral relations, deepen pragmatic cooperation, and people-to-people bonds, and hope that more and more Chinese tourists will visit Hungary in the future." ”

"By the way, it occurred to me that Aqualand has the oldest porcelain factory in Hungary, its history is reported through the awards it received at the World Expo, and its quality is reported by the likes of Queen Victoria and Franz?? It can also be seen in the large number of made-to-order works of Joseph I, and the quality has not changed at all to this day. ”

"If Miss Fang wishes to buy a set of her own hand-painted porcelain, I can take you to see it. ”

"Okay, I've heard that the hand-painted porcelain there is famous, let's go check it out!"

"Okay, Mr. Joseph, can you first introduce us to the Hylande porcelain?"

"Well, China's Jingdezhen porcelain is very clear all over the world, and Hylander porcelain is the equivalent of China's Jingdezhen porcelain, which is located in a small town in the central and western region of Hungary, belonging to the state of Veszprém, where a ceramic factory was established in 1826 and named after the town, and later the factory operator transformed into producing art porcelain and selling the products to the Hungarian aristocracy at that time. ”

Later, the clever operator brought his porcelain to the European Applied Arts and Crafts Exhibition, and Hylander won a number of awards and became an instant hit, successfully receiving many royal orders, including Queen Victoria. ”

"It sounds like a legend, we really should check it out, okay, let's book a train ticket!"

"I'll book the train ticket, Miss Fang don't worry, you go back and pack your luggage, we'll leave tomorrow!"

The next day, Fang Yun and Joseph took the train to Hyland.

A small town in the central and western regions of Hungary looks very similar to other towns in Hungary, but when you walk inside, you will find a big difference.

Joseph found a china shop, walked in, and chatted enthusiastically with an old Hungarian man with white hair.

The old man was 66 years old, and he looked very healthy, and although he had gray hair, he was in good spirits.

"Uncle, this teapot is so exquisite, can you introduce it to us?"

"This is our Hylander bone china, bone china originated in England, it is the only porcelain variety in the world invented by Westerners, and today it is all over the world, and many well-known porcelain manufacturers in Europe are bone china brands. ”

"Hylander uses hard plaster porcelain, a traditional Chinese porcelain raw material, and the porcelain fired from hard plaster porcelain is mostly translucent or bright white, which is beautiful even if it is not glazed. ”

"In this way, Hungarian porcelain and Chinese porcelain still have some origins?" Fang Yun asked.

"Yes!" the old man nodded, "China's Jingdezhen porcelain, is very famous all over the world, Hungary's top luxury porcelain brand Holland porcelain, is the darling of the royal palace nobles and social dignitaries of various countries, owning a piece of Holland porcelain, has become one of the standards to highlight the taste of the collection." ”

"Hailande porcelain was known as the 'royal supplier' during the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and today it is one of the largest and most successful porcelain manufacturers in the world, offering unique and luxurious handmade porcelain to 58 countries. ”

"Uncle, how many years have you been working here?"

"I've been working for many years, I started to be an apprentice here when I was young, and then I was a painter, slowly learning, little by little progress, to understand the essence of some of the industry, we pay attention to the cultivation of talents here, many of them are cultivated from young people, to my age, I should have gone home to care for the elderly, but for the sake of my experience, come here to help, I don't operate it myself now, just watch these young people make it on the side, and give some guidance on the side. ”

"There are many painters and sculptors of Holland porcelain, who have made great efforts to inherit their skills, from the establishment of schools to cultivate talents, to the strict assessment of master-level professionals, and the modern quality standard procedures, while continuing the century-old skills and hand-painting the glory of the next century. ”

"Uncle, you see that the pattern on this porcelain is very exquisitely drawn, how much effort and how many processes do you need to complete it?" Fang Yun asked.

"Hyland porcelain requires multi-layered hand-painting techniques to make it have a variety of bright and dazzling colors, and the subject matter is deeply influenced by classical European and Chinese styles, and the patterns are mainly based on natural flowers, birds, and butterflies, exuding a unique oriental romantic and aesthetic color, which is still breathtaking and intoxicating even after many years. ”

"When it comes to the process and production process, there are more stringent requirements, exquisite craftsmanship, ingenuity must go through at least 17 hands, 13 production processes, after 3 months of work to complete the collection, every detail by different skilled craftsmen and hand-painted masters to assemble the top artistic crystallization. ”

"Miss Fang, look at this vase, the pattern on it is finalized through the final negotiation of the painter, the pattern is decided, and it is to be drawn, the design and meticulousness of the painting is the ultimate key to determine the perfection of the porcelain. ”

"Our selection and training of painters is also quite rigorous and professional, each painter must go through layers of examination and screening, after years of practice can become a part of the creation of exquisite porcelain, after a number of senior hand-painted masters hundreds of hours of investment, and finally perfect reproduction of Hyland porcelain beauty and world honor. ”

"It takes exquisite craftsmanship and patience to do this kind of work all year round, and there are many artists who have eliminated external interference and are here calmly, year after year, day after day, to have such porcelain works displayed in the world. ”

"Therefore, for artists who do this kind of work, they must be calm and focus on the artwork in their hands, and every piece of porcelain becomes a work of art in our hands, which is a kind of beautiful enjoyment. ”

"Painters should have a heart to appreciate the beauty of the world, and in ordinary life, have a pair of discerning eyes to discover more beautiful things, become creative inspiration, and draw more and richer patterns. ”

The old man said, while taking out a few different styles of Hyland porcelain to Fang Yun and Joseph, Fang Yun sighed: "It's so beautiful, there is such exquisite porcelain in the world, and the porcelain of Jingdezhen in China is different, Jingdezhen porcelain highlights the Chinese oriental culture, more delicate, bright, the pattern is very finely drawn, reflecting the Chinese meticulous and soft, beautiful." ”

The old man instructed Fang Yun to make a piece of porcelain on the spot.

"This is just for tourists, making and playing, because the time is relatively short, there is also a general meaning, can not be sold on the market, just let you experience the fun of making. ”

"Well, I'm glad I had the opportunity to see it for myself. ”

The old man taught Fang Yun to draw a cute kitten in the flowers, and then drew it, and then fired it, made a dinner plate, and kept it as a souvenir.

The old man smiled, "Hahaha, no thanks, even if I gave this plate to Miss Fang, you can take it back as a souvenir!"

"Okay, I'll show it to my friends, so that more Chinese friends can know and understand Hyland's porcelain. ”

Finally, Fang Yun summed up the secret of the success of Hyland's porcelain, due to the geographical location and special cultural background, Hyland's porcelain works often have a strong oriental atmosphere, in the European kiln gradually separated from the oriental style, to explore their own Western aesthetic taste in the environment, Hyland's positioning and persistence has become a major feature.

The mystery of the oriental color system and patterns, the fusion of the beauty of the west, is undoubtedly one of the cornerstones of Hyland's success, excellence, generation after generation of craftsman spirit is the key to making Hyland's porcelain famous in the world, for these painters and craftsmen who have spent most of their lives to carry forward the porcelain as a work of art, Fang Yun is very admired.
