Liu Dabin said that his Ming blue and white porcelain has been imitated, but Zhang Tianyuan must not believe it, in Zhang Tianyuan's mind, Liu Dabin's so-called almost, in fact, is just a certain period of the Ming Dynasty blue and white porcelain imitation is almost, Ming blue and white is not so simple.

As for colored porcelain, don't even think about it, let alone buying "porcelain models", just buying raw materials, it will be enough for him Liu Dabin to drink a pot.

"Yes, I want to imitate all the porcelain of the Ming Dynasty, and not only imitate, but also learn from it and truly understand the true meaning of porcelain, just like the Tang Sancai and purple clay pots I made, blue is better than blue!" Speaking of this, Liu Dabin suddenly lowered his head, sighed helplessly, and said: " But brother, you have also seen it, the ideal is very plump, but the reality is very skinny, just to learn the decoration of Ming Dynasty porcelain, I have spent all my savings, and the factory has gone bankrupt, and now I am being targeted by the ghost-faced man, it is really a bit of a dead end. ”

Zhang Tianyuan still knows something about the decoration of Ming Dynasty porcelain, after all, he is also an antique expert.

The decoration of porcelain in the Ming Dynasty was mainly based on painting, and there were also methods such as carving, scratching, printing, and carving. From the point of view of painting style, whether the figures, flowers, birds, birds and animals are extremely vivid and bold, full of painting, the lines are stretched and smooth, and the glaze is simple and rich, which adds to the beauty of the picture.

The ornamentation of the official kiln porcelain is relatively neat and meticulous, and the ornamental brushwork of the folk kiln ware is chic and free-spirited, vividly expressing the desire for a better life in reality.

The subject matter of the picture is very rich, people, flowers, birds, birds and animals are all available, and some of the pictures are based on the ornamentation on the brocade. It may be influenced by the woodcut illustrations of novels, or taken from plays, folk tales, legends, etc. Some of the contents are especially on the official kiln wares. It reflects the ideology of the feudal rulers at that time, and some have feudal superstitions.

The figures painted in the Ming Dynasty are relatively upright. The child's head is relatively fat, out of proportion, the forehead and the back of the head are protruding, the dragon scales in the early Ming Dynasty are sloppyly drawn, and the dragon claws are painted simpler than in the Qing Dynasty. At this time, the arrangement of the eight treasure patterns is mostly wheels, snails, umbrellas, covers, flowers, fish, cans, and intestines.

Of course, these artistic achievements are very useful for connoisseurs, who can not only enjoy the artistic heritage of the ancients, but also see some interesting stories and allusions of the Ming Dynasty through these ornaments.

But for a high-level imitator like Liu Dabin, it is a dead end, a complex and changeable pattern. If you want to integrate it all, you can't do it for more than ten years, and even more so, you may not be able to reach that level in more than ten or twenty years, and you can only give up in the end.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this that Liu Dabin's expression was a little helpless and depressed now, and his previous smug appearance was all gone.

In fact, not to mention these things, even if it is an intermediate link used to make antique porcelain, it is very expensive and time-consuming, because you have to follow the ancient method to achieve the perfection of imitation. In this process, you need a special kiln, charcoal or firewood, which is not as small as you think.

Someone asked why they didn't use a machine, but that wasn't a joke. If you use a machine, can you still achieve the effect of high imitation?

It's not that the current machine is bad, the noodles you make with the machine will never feel the same as the handmade. Even if it's more delicious, it doesn't feel the same. If you want to make a high imitation, you can't do this. It is impossible to say that you put the embryo in the furnace and then use gas or natural gas to burn it, set the time by the computer, and almost all the automatic process can be done by saving money and effort.

That's for daily utensils, not for high antique porcelain.

It is best not to use any modern equipment in the whole process, not even to use computer temperature control, that is, to rely on people to roughly estimate, because the things that come out of this way are more like artificially made, and the degree of high imitation will be higher.

Of course, if you ask Liu Dabin to use those machines and equipment to make high-antique porcelain now, it is estimated that he will not be able to do it. The machines used in the factory are almost sold, and you must know that he used to take care of daily ceramic utensils.

We Chinese still like to use ceramic things, such as bowls, dishes, and even cups and the like to be ceramic, this is very profitable, don't look at each piece to make less money, but the accumulation is a large amount.

If he had a different way out, he would never go to Lao Hei to borrow money, he was really exhausted, and he didn't even have the money to eat himself, otherwise he wouldn't have fainted from hunger.

"Jingle bells, jingle bells......"

Suddenly, there was a bell ringing in the underground garage, Zhang Tianyuan was wondering, Liu Dabin explained: "It should be someone from the other side of the gate, I can call the police with this bell, but I am afraid that someone will find out that I am not there when someone comes in." ”

"Then what should I do, do you want to go out now?" Zhang Tianyuan asked.

"No, anyway, aren't there Tang Batian and Lao Hei outside, let them deal with it, let's talk about our own ......"

Liu Dabin didn't seem to care much about the guests outside, probably because he felt that chatting with Zhang Tianyuan was very speculative, and he didn't want to be interrupted because of this.

Zhang Tianyuan thought about it, anyway, there is Zhanfei outside, if there is anything wrong, Zhanfei will also call him to inform him, and then go out again, maybe it will be an idler or collect electricity bills.

"By the way, brother, I heard them say that you are here to buy the land, how much is the bid, if the price is okay, I will sell it, I am also a demon now, I just want to continue to improve my skills in ceramic manufacturing......"

Liu Dabin is really a crazy person in porcelain technology, or it can even be said that this guy has gone a little crazy, he can even ignore life for the sake of porcelain.

Although I don't support this approach, I have to admit that if the artist doesn't have this crazy energy, I'm afraid he won't be able to reach the top.

There's a saying that says it – artists are crazy!

Zhang Tianyuan felt that what he said was really reasonable.

However, since he knew Liu Dabin, he didn't want Liu Dabin to take this path, as a businessman, a businessman who likes antiques and ancient art, Zhang Tianyuan felt that he had a reason to create a good creative environment for this art maniac, so that he could engage in his own creation in a down-to-earth manner.

So he smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about the land, I will definitely bid higher than others, but are you really satisfied? Even if the price I give you is very high, what can you do after you take the money? ”

Listening to Zhang Tianyuan's words, Liu Dabin was silent, because Zhang Tianyuan's words were right, and Liu Dabin also understood it very well, but now he only had this way, he couldn't control the powerful art demon living in his heart, that guy was devouring him and turning him into a complete art madman.

"Don't be so negative, Brother Dabin, since I'm here, I'll help you, and I can even create the best environment for you to realize your artistic dreams. Not to mention the porcelain of the Ming Dynasty, even if you want to imitate the ceramics of China for 5,000 years. Zhang Tianyuan said this, naturally he has this confidence, what is he doing, he is specialized in collecting antiques.

"Don't joke brother, it's rare just to get Chenghua Doucai, let's not think about anything else. Besides, my energy is also limited, you let me imitate the ceramics of the Ming Dynasty, if you really let me imitate the ceramics of China for 5,000 years, then I still simply ask for my old fortune. Liu Dabin didn't believe Zhang Tianyuan's words very much.

"It looks like Brother Da Bin doesn't believe my words, but it doesn't matter, you will naturally believe it in the future, Chenghua Doucai may be difficult for others to get, but not necessarily for me, it seems that Brother Da Bin, your understanding of me is still limited, let's learn more about it in the future. Zhang Tianyuan said very seriously.

"What you just said is true?" Seeing that Zhang Tianyuan was so serious, Liu Dabin put away his contempt and asked cautiously.

"Of course it's true, otherwise what do you think I bought this piece of land for? I'm not afraid to tell you, I made a fortune in the antique business, but now I also make ceramics, of course, the ceramics of our group are ornamental, not daily utensils, so the price is slightly higher, there are many people who can't afford to buy expensive antiques and antiques, and like to use these to decorate the room. But I'm not satisfied with this, I want to make better ceramics, and I even think that some ancient techniques are better than many modern things if they are restored, and to do this, you need an expert, and you are the expert I am looking for. Zhang Tianyuan no longer had any smile on his face at this time, and became very calm and serious.

"Thank you, brother, but brother, I'll be honest, although my skills have reached a very high level, there is one thing missing, without this thing, it cannot be regarded as a true perfect copy. Liu Dabin has now begun to believe in Zhang Tianyuan, so his expression has become serious.

He really doesn't know much about Zhang Tianyuan, he only knows that Zhang Tianyuan made a fortune, but he doesn't know how he got rich or what kind of wealth he made.

"I know what you want to say, because I also imitated a thing at the beginning, but was denied by a master in the circle, saying that although my imitation has been flawless from a technical level, but it does not have the spirit of the original author, in a more figurative word, that is the soul of the painting! But I think ceramics are not the same as paintings, after all, ceramics are made by craftsmen, so it should be easier to imitate this spirit, right?" Zhang Tianyuan said. (To be continued......)
