At the beginning, so many craftsmen were carefully selected, and many of them were quite famous masters, so what?

It's not that he has been studying hard with Lu Zi'an for so long before he finally learned Jun porcelain.

If it weren't for Lu Zi'an's careful guidance and hand-in-hand guidance, he might still be thinking about it.

Listening to what he said, others felt a little ...... But I also had to nod.

And so it is.

"On the other hand......" The leader leaned over slightly and looked at Lu Zi'an on the screen with a smile: "If someone can really learn like this, I would be happy to see it." ”

If there are such talents, they are definitely happier than others.

No matter how hard it takes, they will trap him.

In this case, what is there to worry about when Lu Zi'an broadcasts Ru porcelain?

"Indeed......"

Thinking about it this way, everyone will understand.

"I don't want to think about it, let's watch the live broadcast together. The leader smiled and picked up the teacup, and the wolfberry in it rippled slightly with his shaking: "It's rare to be so lucky." ”

Speaking of which, he also likes to watch Master Lu's live broadcast.

I always feel that Lu Zi'an's live broadcast has an aura that is lacking in other live broadcasts.

Lu Zi'an didn't know the many entanglements on their side, so he finished the porcelain blanks one by one and began to dry.

There are more than 70 complete Ru porcelain crafts.

In the past, it looked difficult on paper, but when Lu Zi'an deduced it so lightly, he actually had a peerless elegance of calm and leisure.

Immovable and immovable

When it dries slightly, it begins to be plain-cooked.

[It doesn't look much different from ordinary porcelain production.] 】

[I haven't seen it, I only had a vague concept before, but watching Master Lu do it, I feel quite interesting. 】

This is probably what many ordinary viewers think.

Insiders look at the doorway, and laymen look at the liveliness.

Many ordinary people know what Jun porcelain and Ru porcelain are? I usually think it's interesting that the bowl for eating can be beautiful.

And these high-end, delicate porcelain, which can be seen occasionally in the museum, is also good.

But when they enter the museum, most people still prefer those who are famous and interesting, and as for these dishes and dishes, they don't think they are enough.

What emperors have used or how high-end and difficult the modeling skills are, where do they understand?

But Lu Zi'an's live broadcast gave them a new concept.

"Compared with other porcelain kilns of the same period, the royal Ru porcelain has its own unique production process. Lu Zi'an took out the porcelain blank that had been fired and began to glaze: "Most of the utensils are made of full glaze wrapped in foot burning. ”

Once covered with glaze, he gently places the porcelain blank on a three-legged stand.

The porcelain fired in this way will leave three shallow dents at the bottom, which are not very obvious, but they are distinctive.

"In fact, this method has been around since ancient times, and it is not unusual. Lu Zi'an said softly while glazing another porcelain billet: "Generally, oval small kilns are used, and two kilns are set up together. ”

As for this nail, in fact, there is also a special one.

"The difference between Ru porcelain and other porcelain is that it is generally used for the emperor. Lu Zi'an gently immersed the porcelain blank in the glaze, which is the glaze of Ru porcelain, also known as the glaze: "Therefore, an extra layer of refractory clay will be coated on the outside of the sagger, and the nails of the burnt mat cake are small and sharp, so as to ensure the integrity of the vessel type." ”

Leave no trace, burn without a trace.

Just listening to his description, everyone's eyes were glowing when they looked at the porcelain blank.

I'm really looking forward to it, I don't know how moving this porcelain billet will be when it is fired!

Maybe it can really be as Master Lu said, more dazzling than Jun porcelain?

After the second plain firing was completed, Lu Zi'an took it out again and re-glazed it, and the surface of the porcelain blank had already shown three points of porcelain color, but it was covered up at this time.

After pushing these porcelain blanks back into the kiln and heating them to 1280 °C, Lu Zi'an cleaned his hands and brought a chair to sit down.

It's really backache.

Although the firing process of Ru porcelain takes a short time, no more than three or two days compared to Jun porcelain, it is already evening.

In the process of high-temperature firing, the grasp of the heat must be extremely accurate, and Lu Zi'an did not think about leaving, still squatting in front of the kiln.

Master Xu also moved Zhang Xiaozi to sit down next to him, and said with some hesitation: "Master Lu, I have studied Ru porcelain a little, I have consulted a large number of classics, and I think that the Yue kiln Ru kiln of the Song Dynasty also imitates earlier bronzes, I see that the craftsmanship you make is generally inherited from the ancients, but the banner of Baigongmen is innovative......

He paused slightly, his brow furrowed slightly, as if he was considering his words: "The two are obviously opposites, why do you merge them into one?"

Lu Zi'an, who was holding the teacup, turned his head to look at him, and suddenly laughed softly: "What Master Xu said is not wrong, many of my skills are indeed ancient." ”

For example, wood carving and jade carving, in the case of many technological applications today, the threshold for these carvings is becoming lower and lower.

Some have even appeared printed engraving, the difficulty of which is minimized, even if you have never touched it, you can always make a look by digging according to the line.

But Lu Zi'an has been using "stupid" methods.

"Looking at my processes, it seems to be more traditional, but in fact, I have applied a lot of small habits that practice makes perfect. It's just that I'm not a professional craftsman, so I will ignore these small actions of mine, and to the outside world, it seems that I am just imitating antiquities. ”

Lu Zi'an casually picked up the carving knife and picked up a piece of wood in the pile of materials: "Liu Zongyue also said: craftsmen are humble, simple, and obedient to tradition because of their lack of originality, because they don't need to use their brains to put all their body and mind into work. ”

The craftsmen do not judge, but they follow the concept of integrity and morality, and can uphold the original beliefs.

There are also people who call this style of theirs, the spirit of craftsmanship.

However, this is not the case.

Lu Zi'an gently brushed the wood in his hand and hooked his lips slightly: "I once said that craftsmen, craftsmen, and masters are actually the three levels of craftsmen. ”

Only know how to make, don't know how to innovate, for the craftsman.

Learn and think, draw inferences from one another, and be a craftsman.

Through one and through ten thousand, passing on the past to the present, for the master.

In these three levels, skill is actually secondary, and the important thing is the transformation of ideas and concepts.

Speaking of this, Lu Zi'an's mind suddenly moved.

He remembered his upgrades again and again, and also remembered the sentence of the system, and the mood was achieved.

What is the state of mind?

It is an extension of ideals and minds, and a combination of skill and spirit.

In today's China, countless craftsmen are skilled, and some have been reduced to not having enough to eat, so they have said that the wood carving has passed away, and time will not wait for me.

Is that really the case?

No, history is always moving forward, and the key lies in the transformation of thinking.

Lu Zi's tide was up and down, and he remembered the initial difference between himself and the craftsmen.

He brought traditional craftsmanship to the live broadcast room.

It's not hard work, but it's always thinking about the future of craftsmanship......

Could it be that this is the real reason why the system chose him?

"Master Lu, Master Lu?" Master Xu's call brought Lu Zi'an back to his senses, he was stunned, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I'm distracted." ”

Master Xu shook his head, his eyes burning: "You just said that the past is passed down to the present......

"Yes. A good craftsman, when he has the simplicity and humility of the ancient craftsmen, should adapt to the promotion and innovation of modern craftsmanship in the present. Lu Zi'an pointed to the carving knife and flew over, easily carved a peach, and it was also lifelike: "If simplicity and humility are "ancient", innovation is "today". If you want to become a real master, you must inherit the ancient and modern times, and you must abandon one of them. ”

The so-called names, the so-called titles, are all fleeting.

If you want to become a true master, you must be highly skilled and have a complete state of mind.

Stand tall to see far.

Listening to his words, everyone fell into deep thought.

At this moment, the fire sample placed by Lu Zi'an finally began to change color, and he jumped up: "Open the kiln!"

The heat wave was rolling in, and everyone did not retreat but advanced, and they all watched with joy.

When the heat inside was almost dissipated and the temperature was controllable, Lu Zi'an put on a full set of protective gear and carefully moved the sagger inside one by one.

A whole row of saggers looks very gratifying.

When everyone asked how many finished products there were, Lu Zi'an looked as usual: "Approximately, if you can produce three or two finished products, it is already considered a very high yield rate." ”

The difficulty of Ru porcelain is difficult to go to the blue sky.

Not only because of the difficulty of its technology, but also because of the extremely low yield of finished products.

Any tiny flaw will make it a scrap.

Thinking of this, Master Xu's expression became a little solemn, and his heartbeat felt much faster.

Lu Zi'an didn't pay attention to their expressions, and went straight forward to open the first sagger.

This is a porcelain vase, the shape is simple, it is the most famous jade pot spring bottle in the Song Dynasty, and it has always been the most beautiful form of all jade pot spring bottles.

The glaze is extremely moist, and the overall color is pale azure, which is enough to touch everyone's heart at a glance.

"Click. A slight cracking sound came, and Master Xu's face jumped slightly.

Lu Zi'an bent down slightly, staring at its glaze.

The glaze color changes with the light, and the surface shows a small opening with cicada wing patterns, which slowly extends downward, and many small crab claw patterns appear.

Master Xu knew the goods, he took a magnifying glass and looked at it, and only after confirming that it was correct did he say happily: "Crab claw ......pattern! Master Lu, this is a masterpiece!"

“…… Not bad. ”

This jade pot spring bottle is slender and straight, especially with such a warm color, it looks natural and quiet, unassuming, and full of mystery.

Especially its opening film is so elegant and meticulous, even Lu Zi'an himself is quite surprised.

His skills seem to have improved slightly compared to three years ago.

It's just that this difference is extremely small, and if it weren't for the fact that Ru porcelain is such a proud and difficult process, I am afraid it would not be reflected in such detail.

Thinking so, Lu Zi'an turned around and called up the system interface, and there were not many other changes, only the progress bar, but as Lu Zi'an expected, it had been added to 93%.

When will this progress bar be increased to 100 percent?

Lu Zi'an thought about it, and he didn't know what would change when the time came.
