"Yes, the purple clay pot is different from porcelain, and it pays attention to the glaze color and temperature. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info It's very simple, there is no glaze, and the temperature is relatively fixed, all by handicraft and clay. ”

"The so-called purple sand mud is actually purple mud, cinnabar mud, Benshan green mud and other three kinds, and purple mud is the main one. The three types of clay can be made into pottery separately, and can be mixed with each other to make different shades! ”

"The mud excavated from the mine, which resembles a rock in appearance, cannot be directly swelled with water, and can be weathered into fine particles after decay. The traditional processing method is to use a stone mill to crush and sieve, add water and mix it with water, and then manually turn and hammer until it reaches the ideal plasticity to make the finished mud! Now it is crushed by ball-throwing Raymond crusher, and after sieve, water is added and mixed into finished mud by vacuum mud refining machine! ”

Xu Sihai picked up a handful of pots and said: "Look at this pot, the standard Zhaoshanzhuang red mud, the tender mud raw materials selected from the Shihuang and Nenen mud mines in Dingshan, Dingshan, Yixing City, contain silica, quartz and other special natural mineral components. Zhu mud is definitely a good mud, Zhaozhuang old Zhu mud, which is selected and refined from the essence of the bottom "Huangshi Huang" of Zhaozhuang Mountain tender mud mine; The appearance is coffee black, there is a texture that has been through the vicissitudes of life, the tone is vermilion but not charming, and the use of time is more and more indulging in the ancient atmosphere, so it is destined in the name of the place of origin, and it is the name of the precious mud that is on the verge of extinction. ”

Wu Tianyuan picked up the pot, quickly communicated, and memorized the clues and feelings attentively, these are all treasures!

"The mud has to go through several processes, the first is to dry the mud, the mined purple sand mud mine, open air exposure, let the sun and wind and rain, because the newly mined purple sand mud mine, its hardness, the nature of the strong, must be exposed to the open air, let the sun and wind and rain natural weathering and disintegration, the longer the weathering time, the better."

"Then there is stale, after mining the purple sand mud mine, after drying the mud, screening, crushing, collecting mud powder, sieve, stirring with water, vacuuming into strips, refining the purple sand mud ore into mature mud, placed in a humid place, need to maintain a certain temperature and humidity, wet mud after aging, become saprolite. Let the water be evenly distributed, so that the mud is corrupted, and the organic matter is decomposed to produce gum, this method is soil cultivation. ”

"The benefits of soil cultivation can improve plasticity, reduce cracking during the molding process and when it is damaged and dry, and the epidermal crystals are warm and moist after firing for a long time, gradually revealing their edge, and the cultivation changes greatly."

Xu Sihai picked up another pot and said: "This is a piece of mud, a rare mud in the early days, which is refined from the original green clay ore of this mountain. The particles contained in the mud are large, the structure is loose, and the body is obviously a double pore structure, and the air convection is smooth; The temperature of the early mud blending is lower than that of the early kiln, and the satin mud products will "spit black" in general. ”

"In recent years, the kiln has been used as a high-temperature kiln, and the satin clay pot fired can easily increase the temperature, and really achieve a higher crystallization, and rarely spit black. It feels sweet and delicate, firm and warm, with a yellow tone in the field, and good air permeability; The tea soup is smooth and comfortable, and the operation of tea brewing skills is not high, and it is suitable for raw use. It is suitable for making Pu'er tea series, Tieguanyin and semi-fermented tea. ”

"This is Da Hong Pao, which is mined by Yixing in the small coal kiln mining area at the intersection of Rentu Village and Hongwei Village. Contains iron oxide, natural iron red pink is added in the mud refining process to enhance the red, and it will become bright red after kiln firing, the mud is delicate, the density is high, the crystalline is high, and the tea is soft and delicious. ”

This mud is red and dazzling, the temperament is elegant, so that the viewer is full of Rui Qi presence, good luck is the first meaning, for the endangered best vermilion mud! The mud of Dahongpao has low tension, and the shrinkage ratio is almost three times that of the purple mud system, and it is not easy to grasp the mud when making it, and it is used to add the red clay to the color of the red mud in ancient times, and it is one of the most mysterious and wonderful vermilion mud in the legend. ”

"When firing, it is easy to wrinkle, crack, collapse, deform, the kiln temperature is light and yellowish and easy to reduce, and the heavy one is deformed and blistered, and the yield is less than two percent. After firing, the texture is dense, compact and meticulous, and it is solid and heavy, ruddy and gorgeous, and the best in the mud, which is incomparable. After showering hot water, the color changes greatly, showing red with purple, and the pot is easy to show the beauty of "pulp". ”

Wu Tianyuan hurriedly took it over and studied it, this was the best clay he was looking for, and the purple clay pot of Tianyuan Hall was also going to be high-end.

"Clear cement, for the raw ore purple sand, hematite, mica more common mud in the early days, mud is easy to grasp, high stability. It is a kind of high-quality mud in the purple sand mud, the mud color is mellow and elegant, the literati atmosphere is strong, and the large and small works can show the elegance of the purple sand; It is easy to resonate with users, and is one of the most popular clay materials used by potters in the early Ming Dynasty. ”

Xu Sihai admonished: "This is also the main mud material for many black-hearted businessmen in the market to imitate the antique old pots, using clear cement to imitate the old pots of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and quickly pulping them after some special techniques, pretending to be master pots to deceive people." ”

Wu Tianyuan also looked at it and kept it in mind, this kind of mud is also valuable, and it can be used in the future Tianyuan Hall antique.

"Tibetan blue plaster, is also the late Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty widely spread mud, in recent years the amount of mining is small, so the finished product is very rare. It has a dark purple-gray tone, because it is full of particles and has a special touch, players like to call it "shark skin", and it is a very difficult to find high-quality mud mine. ”

"After firing, the double pore structure is obvious, the air convection is smooth, simple and elegant, full of old taste, and it has the charm of purple sand raw materials in the Ming Dynasty. The sand is heavy but not shaved, the color is like purple and gray, heavy and solid and uncompromising, like a tough guy style, suitable for making black tea, green tea, oolong tea, etc. ”

Xu Sihai finally picked up a pot and said with love: "I personally like the slope mud the most, the finished product is full of old flavor, orange and red yellowish burnt appearance, which makes people look at the ancient feelings, and after soaking and raising, it is even more old-fashioned, which is no different from the Ming and Qing Dynasty mud!" ”

"The tea soup is gentle and mellow, and the aftertaste is strong. If it is matched with the previous generation of heirlooms as a variety, in addition to the obvious pulp, it is no different from the breath and texture of the ancient masterpieces, which is a product that collectors who love the charm of old pots! ”

After listening to the introduction of Xu Sihai, a big expert, Wu Tianyuan was worth the trip, he wrote down the clues of several top muds, and the next step was to go to Yixing to find ores.

Now purple sand mud is also a rare resource, and many factories have long begun to stock up on materials, and it has been hyped for a while a few years ago. Fortunately, the government came forward to clarify the rumors and quelled the hype.

"Brother, business has been difficult recently, this time I invite you to come in the hope of selling some beloved things, you have a museum, you are a real top collector, these treasures are handed over to you, I can rest assured!"

Xu Sihai was very helpless, there was no way, he was implicated by the Dongsheng Society, and he lost a lot. Now the only thing that can be eaten is Tianyuanhui, that is, Ma Tengfei and Wu Tianyuan in front of him.

"No problem, brother, as long as you want to make a move, Brother Ma and I will all follow, go back and we'll divide again!"

In the end, Wu Tianyuan bought Xu Sihai's 280 pots at one time, including 100 master pots, and now he has funds. Buy it first, go back and choose slowly.

"Uncle Liu, I received a lot of purple clay pots, send you the photos, and send them to you if you like them."

Wu Tianyuan hung up the phone, the best must be given to Liu Huasheng, he is a master of the tea ceremony, this is his weapons and ammunition in the future.

"Brother Ma, you can choose the rest, I don't care, just get an exhibition hall to exhibit in the end."

"Then you're welcome!" Ma Tengfei was not polite, and chose more than a dozen and said: "Don't divide the rest, all enter the museum, just get an exhibition hall, and my collection will eventually go in in the future, sooner or later!" ”

Wu Tianyuan doesn't care, there are still three empty museums in the Tianyuan Art Center, and the eight people of the Tianyuan Society have reserved a museum for their own collections, which will be stored and displayed in the future. It's really a matter of time or time, just keep a few handfuls in your hand to play with usually, no matter how much it is useless, it is better to give it to the public to enjoy. (To be continued.) )
