Chapter 635: Porcelain Carving

Thinking like this, everyone's hearts were half cold.

Donald, in particular, went from the initial surprise to the fright a moment later, and it even took only a few seconds in between.

After he turned the corner, he was so nervous that his tongue was a little knotted: "Lu, Master Lu, this kiln, are you going to do an experiment?"

Lu Zi'an shook his head, and while arranging for someone to open the kiln and cool down according to his instructions, he turned around and explained calmly: "The basis of the kiln change is that the elements of iron and copper change in the context of temperature difference. ”

“…… Yes, yes. ”

It's that they didn't think through it all of a sudden, it's difficult to change the glaze, it's not easy?

After confirming that the temperature was no problem, Lu Zi'an sighed: "As for doing the test...... In fact, I have other uses for this batch of plain porcelain. ”

Tang Lao looked at him and said cautiously, "Is it used for anything else?"

"Well, there is a special process, which is also related to porcelain, called porcelain carving, also called porcelain carving. Lu Zi'an's eyebrows were calm, and his eyes flashed with interest: "I have thought about using my carving skills to create on porcelain, but there has been no suitable utensils, Jun porcelain is difficult to make in nature, and the kiln becomes rare, but if it is plain porcelain, the process of Jun porcelain is the most suitable for porcelain carving." ”

In addition to the phenomenon of kiln change, Jun porcelain also has an appearance feature that is the most attractive.

That is its opalescent state, which is a beautiful azure semi-opaque state like green agate or opal.

It not only makes Jun glaze produce a series of light to dark blues, but also gives a subtle luster and elegant texture, reducing the glamorous floating light brought by the vitrification of the glaze.

The porcelain without floating light is transparent and elegant, leaving off the bright color and vitrified customs, and it is the most suitable to carry the beauty given by the carving knife.

"Porcelain carving?"

Many of the people present were lost in thought, more in doubt.

However, Donald still has a little understanding of this process, and he paced two steps before saying: "I have seen a cultural relic, a sixteen-character rolling poem carved with a special technique on the hanging plate......

"Yes, this is one of them, more famous. Lu Zi'an's voice was clear, and he said slowly: "This seal sixteen-character rolling poem is still quite interesting, it can be read vertically, horizontally, diagonally, one word and two words serial, and so on. ”

"Yes, that's right. Donald frowned, contemplating: "It's just that I really can't remember which sixteen words......

At that time, a glimpse of the artifact gave him a great shock, but after all, the era is long, and he only remembered the name and craftsmanship of the artifact, but the specific content is really not clear.

"It's not limited to the content, as long as it's four words to form a smooth sentence, a total of 100 sentences. Lu Zi'an was interested, and picked up the glazed pen and lightly dipped it in some glaze paste: "It is generally used for hanging plates and tea cups, because they are all round, and it is a hundred folk meanings of Chinese folk customs, the outer circle and the inner square, which not only implies the harmony of yin and yang, but also the big money in ancient times......"

His voice is soft and quiet, and he speaks smoothly without the slightest pause.

Taste the Confucianism

Naruhito Road tea

And for one hundred and one

Relatives and tastes

Sure enough, it was sixteen words, and Donald nodded again and again: "Yes, that's right, that's what I was looking at at at the time!"

In the porcelain carving, this sentence is used a lot. Lu Zi'an smiled and gently put down his pen.

Everyone was amazed and tried to read from the left and from the right.

"Wow, I really know how to pronounce it!" looked very surprised.

"I feel that these sixteen words can be used no matter how you match. ”

The craftsmen are looking at the skills, but the leaders are looking at the words.

Ho, this handwriting, it's really amazing!

"I didn't expect Master Lu that you can even write seal scripts...... one of the leaders praised again and again: "Thin and straight, really good words." ”

Seal script is a general term for large seals and small seals.

Tao Zongyi's description in "Dropout Records and Seal System" is very apt: "The white text and seal are all made of Han seals, which are square and straight, and the characters cannot be rounded. ”

Lu Zi'an's seal script obviously has the style of the Han Dynasty.

The lines are changing and flowing, full of rhythmic changes.

When the pen is written, it is hidden or exposed, and there are few similarities;

The pen is either a hanging needle, or a hanging dew, and the posture is thousands;

The turning point or lift or press, both square and round, virtual and real.

At that moment, some craftsmen couldn't hold back, and bluntly said that they wanted to ask Master Lu to let them extend this painting and keep it for later use.

This word doesn't need to be typeset at all, it can be used directly!

Lu Zi'an is only a whim, he has written a lot of seal scripts, and he used to make seals in seal scripts, and now he waved his hand: "Feel free, you can take it yourself." ”

He was not at all worried that this painting would leak out, and if it was really unclear, he would not have the opportunity to come to this occasion at all.

"I see that there are not many hanging plates in your batch of porcelain. Donald was worried: "If all of it is used to make porcelain carvings, will it be ......?"

Lu Zi'an's eyes flashed slightly, and he smiled slightly: "My understanding may be slightly different from the porcelain engraving in Puyi." ”

Donald's eyes lit up: "What's the difference?"

"Porcelain carving is a traditional folk handicraft art with a long history in China, and there is a method of peeling and chiseling porcelain glaze in the Qin and Han dynasties, called "peeling jade". Lu Zi'an looked at the carving knife on the table with gentle eyes: "The ancients made porcelain carving, starting from the Wei and Jin dynasties. ”

The people who didn't know much about porcelain carving listened to it with relish, and no one was talking nonsense.

Peeling jade, it sounds so beautiful.

If the jade is layered layer by layer, then the porcelain carving is as if the jade is being peeled off layer by layer with a carving knife.

More and more transparent, reaching the depths of the soul.

"In the summer of the Wei and Jin dynasties, with the development of the ceramic industry, a large number of fine porcelain appeared.

Emperors, eunuchs, and some literati and writers wanted to keep the ink of the inscriptions on the poems for permanent preservation in addition to appreciating porcelain.

Therefore, the artists at that time carved the wheel corridor of poetry, calligraphy and painting with a straight knife and a single line on the porcelain blank before glazing, which formed the original porcelain carving. ”

Lu Zi'an muttered: "But they generally rarely use color, and most of them are based on ink treasures. ”

Except for the more famous sixteen characters, most of the rest are inscription poems.

"But porcelain carving, in fact, is through the artist's exquisite conception, the calligraphy lines, the composition of the painting, and the carving marks are organically combined, making it a comprehensive plastic art. The corners of Lu Zi'an's lips hooked up a happy smile, and his fingertips gently stroked the cold knife surface: "Such a creative idea is only used to engrave poetry, it is too pity, in my opinion, everything that can be inked on paper cannot be engraved on porcelain." ”

All?

Everyone's eyes silently fell on the sixteen-character seal script, Master Lu is not only skilled, but also has a good hand of calligraphy and painting, wood carving and jade carving are chic, but in the end they are all carvings.

If you can combine calligraphy and painting with porcelain craftsmanship, wouldn't you be able to have both the unique artistic beauty of calligraphy and painting, and the exquisite texture of porcelain?

Imagining that image, everyone began to be a little impatient.

This kiln porcelain suddenly has a more important meaning.

The temperature, in the expectant eyes of everyone, finally slowly dropped.
