Chapter 170: Each Has Its Strengths
I saw that the porcelain was covered with yellow and black cracks, and the so-called gold wire refers to the fine open pieces, which are yellow. The iron wire refers to the large piece of opening, which is black, beautiful, and magical.
The formation of gold wire is due to the fact that the porcelain cracks after leaving the kiln due to the different expansion coefficients of the tire and glaze during the firing process. At that time, Ma Weidu of the Guanfu Museum once gave an example that a newly imitated porcelain from his own kiln could be heard in the dead of night with a loud explosion sound, which lasted for two years.
After the glaze is exploded, the coarse piece will gradually turn black, and the small piece will not be able to enter the color due to the small gap, and it will oxidize to golden yellow after a long time.
Su Yuan played with his hands, and started to condense, the enamel was warm and moist, and the glaze was glossy, like the slight sweat of a human face, which could be called moist and crispy!
I took out a magnifying glass and looked closely and found that the glaze was full of large and small bubbles, dotted with stars, dense, as if the stars were shining.
Gather foam and gather beads!
Because the glaze of the kiln is thick, the thickest part is even equal to the thickness of the tire, and the glaze contains bubbles, such as beads looming, which is wonderful.
Su Yuan let out a long sigh, this is the real beauty of regret. In fact, the opening piece produced by the kiln is a defect in the firing process, which is the result of the inconsistency of the expansion coefficient between the porcelain tire and the glaze.
The glaze is divided into large and small pieces, sparse and natural, and the ancient potters found that it was a waste product, and reported it to the pottery supervisor and asked for scrapping.
Later, he found a natural rhythmic beauty on the broken glaze, which can bring people a new artistic enjoyment, so he kept the utensils that he wanted to discard, and began to deliberately pursue such a mutilated beauty.
Thousands of years by the literati fully explored, pushed to the highest level of aesthetics, Ge kiln with its defective beauty in the history of ceramics unique, social recognition, become the Ming and Qing Dynasty royal respect object. In particular, the Song Ge kiln is regarded as an arch by collectors, and owning one can be proud of its peers.
In 1932, when the Qing Dynasty Aftermath Committee was in the Forbidden City, it found a batch of porcelain that had never been seen before, the glaze color was mainly fried beige, gray and green, with different shades, and there were open pieces of different sizes on the glaze, and the tire color was dark brown, dark gray, light gray, and earth yellow, and the carcass was relatively dense.
There is a Qianlong poem at the bottom: Yi who changes the evening smoke, and the incense is still smelled. It is made from the fish ear, and the color is like an eel pattern. Originally, there was no fire, but there seemed to be clouds. Identify where the root of the nose is divided after the eight are completed.
In his "Imperial Poetry Collection", there are as many as 21 poems of Yongge kiln, and the Song Dynasty kiln is even more mysterious, and the exact kiln site has not been found so far.
There are only about 100 pieces in the world, which is even less than the number of Yuan Qinghua in existence. Every imitation of the Ming and Qing dynasties that appears in the international auction market is generally sold for millions of dollars.
If it is a Song Dynasty heirloom kiln, it is priceless!
The more Su Yuan looked at it, the more excited he became, only to see that the opening film was uniform and smooth as a mirror, and he muttered to himself: "Is this the legendary hundred pieces of garbage!"
The opening piece is a kind of kiln change, which is very different, also known as ice crack, according to the color, there are eel blood, gold wire iron wire, light yellow caviar pattern.
The shape has reticulated pattern, plum blossom pattern, fine broken pattern, etc. It is divided into large open film and small open film. The small pieces are called caviar patterns, and the large pieces are sparsely called cow hair patterns, willow leaf patterns, and crab claw patterns, which are unique and unique.
What is garbage?
On the glaze of ice crystal jade, it forms a crack as clear and uniform as ice and snow, which is very dense and seamless, and no impurities can invade, and after hundreds of years, it still appears crystal clear.
The pulp is moist, warm and moist, like broken eggshells, the roads are criss-crossed, just like the cracked ice surface on the river and lake in the warm and cold season, the cracks open and close, and the natural take is natural, which makes people have endless reverie.
There is no one in ten thousand in the kiln, and the garbage is one in a thousand, known as the best of the best!
The three classics of Longquan, exquisite porcelain, Meiziqing of the younger kiln, and hundreds of broken garbage of the brother kiln, have gone through thousands of years and have been passed down for centuries, which can be called the insurmountable peak.
A burst of pride rose in Su Yuan's heart, what could be more rewarding than letting a long-lost stunt reappear in the rivers and lakes?
An idea flashed through my mind, and I picked up another plain tire, first using the Qianfeng emerald color, and then the gold wire, and saw what the effect was?
"Hey, although it can stack, the effect is ......"
Su Yuan shook his head, and found that porcelain was still different from a sword, a sword could be layered on top of the light opening technique, and the effect was getting better and better.
But porcelain is different, because the aesthetics have their own merits, plum green and 100 garbage are diametrically opposed standards. One requires a thousand peaks to be as pure as water, and the other is as beautiful as a ghostly kiln, which is not related to each other, and cannot be put together at all.
Moreover, the requirements of the kiln for plain tires are not too high, but the thicker the kiln, the more conducive to the kiln change, in order to produce a little bubble under the glaze, open evenly, and fully highlight the beauty of the defect.
Therefore, Linglong porcelain relies on Liuyun hands and Linglong knives, and the kung fu is all in the plain tire, and only when it is thin to the extreme, it can be regarded as eight-sided exquisite.
Mei Ziqing's requirements for the plain tire are lowered by one step, and the secret focuses on the beauty of the mysterious glaze, and how to burn the emerald color of a thousand peaks is a mystery for the ages.
Finally, there is the brother kiln, which is the best that can not be found, even the top old pile is impossible to control the kiln change. One in a million, it all depends on God's mood.
Especially the hundreds of pieces of garbage, it takes two or three years of continuous transformation, as if the phoenix has been nirvana, reborn from the fire, and even the Ninety-Five Emperor dreams of it!
Su Yuan was high-spirited, closed his door, and started a new round of sprints. Immersed in the craft, obsessed and unable to extricate himself.
Finally saw myself more clearly, and originally thought that he was only interested in swords, but it turned out that it was not.
The most exciting thing is to constantly push the limits, conquer one puzzle after another, solve one mystery after another, and when the lost stunt is restored, the sense of accomplishment is unstoppable.
Although there is a golden finger, it also requires a craftsman to master it through hard training and reach a perfect state. This process is the most enjoyable and challenging goal for Su Yuan.
Just when he didn't hear anything outside the window, suddenly Mao Zhengcong called to make an appointment to meet, bringing good news.
"What? The Longquan government wants to collect celadon products?"
Mao Zhengcong smiled slightly and explained: "Longquan has two major characteristics, swords and celadon. A few years ago, the Sword Museum was built, and as a major tourist attraction, it has a good income and is a major local business card. ”
"The government tasted the sweetness, and last year began to prepare for the Celadon Museum, which is of a higher level and has received technical support from the Forbidden City. At the end of the year, it is ready to open to the public, so we solicit masterpieces from the private sector as the first batch of exhibits. ”
Su Yuan's eyes lit up, and he was drowsy, and someone sent him a pillow, and said with satisfaction: "This is a good idea, with your old qualifications, it must be easy to be selected, right?"
Mao Zhengcong waved his hand, and said: "Folk masters are like clouds, and this time it is an open selection, and all the judges invite experts from the Guozitou Museum to sit in charge, especially the Forbidden City, and specially send masters to come and check." ”
"It's not just me, Lao Xu, Lao Chen, Lao Li, basically famous porcelain artists will participate. Take out your best works competition, celadon culture is broad and profound, there are twenty or thirty kinds of categories alone, each with its own merits, who dares to say that it will win?"
