Chapter 685: After the rain, the sky is clear

The glazing of celadon is not like underglaze colored porcelain, directly do the porcelain embryo, and then start glazing.

Before glazing, it is necessary to enter the porcelain kiln to burn it, that is, the porcelain embryo is put into the kiln to burn to 800 to 900 degrees, this temperature is much lower than the 1,300 degrees required for porcelain firing, if the temperature is too high, these porcelain embryos will be porcelainized, then the glaze can not be applied, and the temperature is generally controlled at about 800 degrees.

The main function of plain firing is to improve the strength of the embryo and ensure that the embryo body will not be deformed when glazed, which is not the same as the glaze color.

Although the glaze color is also fired once and then painted on the glaze, but the first firing, it has been fired into underglaze porcelain with 1,300 degrees, and the second firing is just to dry the glaze painted above.

Before Chen Yi glazed, he first fired a little in the mini kiln, and the appearance of the kiln mentioned in the information was slightly different from that in Jingdezhen, but this firewood kiln porcelain has been more than a thousand years ago, and the kiln developed after thousands of years is more reasonable than a thousand years ago.

His understanding of the porcelain firing process is far greater than before he came to Jingdezhen, and it can be said that he has a very comprehensive understanding of all kinds of porcelain.

The celadon made by Wen Lao, like other porcelain, is fired in a kiln, and this time Chen Yi did not specifically renovate the kiln, first look at the situation of firing in this kiln.

This time, it is only for the sake of the real yàn, not for the production of firewood kiln porcelain, if it is changed to a special production, there are many more things to pay attention to than now, after all, what the experiment consumes now is the aura. Really fired. It's not just time. It's just money, and the energy of many people.

After the plain firing, Chen Yi began to glaze this porcelain, according to different types, celadon glazing methods are also different, he according to the secret method introduced, little by little on this small bowl of porcelain, slowly apply a good green glaze.

Not to mention the green glaze ingredients that are really required by this secret method. The value of all the ingredients that he has collected now is not too good, and the value is not comparable to that of ordinary porcelain, and it is precisely because of the preciousness of the materials and the extremely high quality that it has created the reputation of the top of the firewood kiln porcelain.

Just looking at the good green glaze, Chen Yi can already imagine the beautiful Cheng dù made of porcelain, and the glaze made according to the secret method is more than several times stronger than the celadon glaze used by Wen Lao. Both in color and quality.

Every kind of porcelain, whether the glaze is good or not. It can be said that it is related to the glaze color of the final product, and celadon pays more attention to the quality of the glaze.

Chen Yi glazed three times in a row, looked at the porcelain, and the glaze was already satisfactory to him, and then he waited for the glaze to dry.

Even if this is formed by aura, it is the same as the real thing, and after the glaze is dry, Chen Yi materialized out of the kiln again, put this small bowl with a good green glaze into it, and then began to fire it with pine wood.

In the process of firing, Chen Yi constantly carried out some temperature control according to the content written on the secret method, in order to make the fired firewood kiln porcelain more perfect.

Like underglaze porcelain, celadon is fired for 24 hours in a wood-fired kiln, but in a mini-kiln, it only needs to be fired for an hour.

In this hour, Chen Yi barely left the kiln, carefully looked at the situation in the kiln, and then according to some firing introductions on the secret method, he added firewood to control the temperature.

With the passage of time of firing, his expectations for this piece of porcelain are becoming stronger and stronger, even if it is the first time he has used the mini version of the kiln to burn the kiln himself, he does not have the same excitement and expectation as now.

Just because, the porcelain he fired before is not a secret, many people will burn, and now, the firewood kiln porcelain he fired has disappeared for nearly a thousand years, and now there is nowhere to find precious things, and modern people can only imagine the beautiful appearance of firewood kiln porcelain from the words of ancient books.

And now, he can fire it with his own hands and witness this precious porcelain from a thousand years ago, not to mention him, if he is Wen Lao and other people, he will be exactly as excited as he is now.

An hour passed, Chen Yi waited until the kiln was completely cooled, and slowly used tools to take out the only porcelain in the kiln, not to mention using the spiritual energy kiln, even if it was a real kiln to burn this piece of porcelain, no one would think that it was a waste, because just because it was firewood kiln porcelain.

At the moment when the porcelain was taken out, Chen Yi showed a strong look of amazement on his face, and he was looking forward to it, but when he saw this touch of azure, he immediately had a sense of relaxation and joy.

At this moment, on this small bowl of firewood kiln, the glaze is calm and quiet, and it can be said that it is like ice and jade, and its blue color is like the sky.

Chen Yi has seen countless porcelain, but when he really saw this piece of firewood kiln porcelain fired by himself, he felt what the most beautiful glaze color was.

This is a collection of thousands of peaks of emerald porcelain, see it, as if seeing the emerald color of the mountains, Chen Yi slowly turned this small bowl, only to see as in the legend, its color with the light constantly changing, from light to dark, from gray and white light orchid, into a more intense emerald color.

The reason why the firewood kiln disappeared without a trace after the establishment of the Song Dynasty, and not even a single piece of porcelain has been handed down, may be because of its beauty and fame, so that the rulers of the Song Dynasty did not want such beautiful porcelain from the previous dynasties to continue to survive in the world.

Chen Yi looked at this small bowl, its blank, making, glazing, firing, are all made according to the secret method, although it is a little imperfect, but it already has several major characteristics of firewood kiln porcelain.

Blue as the sky, thin as paper, bright as a mirror, as for the sound, he slowly took the small bowl in his hand, and then flicked it lightly with two fingers, and suddenly, a crisp sound came from the porcelain, making his face show the color of enjoyment, this sound is like a beautiful sound played by a musical instrument, this is the legendary sound of the sound.

It has been recorded in many historical materials that the firewood kiln has no complete utensils and has not been available for a long time, and the fragments obtained are also used as treasures, used as clothing, or hat ornaments, and the porcelain pieces are dazzling.

From the current porcelain, it can be seen that these historical records are very true, this piece of porcelain, can no longer be described as beautiful, seeing it, as if seeing the most beautiful thing in the world.

Chen Yi's face showed a strong look of excitement, this is just an experiment, the materials used, not the most perfect, it is conceivable that if the zuò porcelain is completely made in accordance with the secret method, then the firewood kiln porcelain will be even more beautiful.

Ru kiln porcelain, he also saw a piece in his master Zheng Lao, this kind of Song Dynasty porcelain crown, there are less than 100 pieces in the world, its glaze is also very beautiful, in history also has the reputation of the rain and clear clouds.

But now, this piece of fired firewood kiln porcelain, in his opinion, is more beautiful than the Ru kiln, more in line with the description of the rain after the clear clouds, when people really see a kind of heavy rain, the dark clouds disperse, the clouds break open the appearance of the azure color.

This kind of azure color really makes people's mood just like this cyan, full of a kind of beauty.

Porcelain is the crystallization of a kind of civilization, but it is unique to China, foreign countries have some advanced science and technology, but in the production of zuò porcelain, there is no role at all, there have been many foreigners who try to fire porcelain by themselves, but it is always unsuccessful, the porcelain fired out can not even hold its own weight, it will be broken when you pick it up, such a thing, there is no use value.

The firewood kiln porcelain is undoubtedly the crown of Chinese porcelain, and no museum in modern times, even the Forbidden City, has no fragment of firewood kiln.

Ru kiln is the first of the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty, some dynasties in later generations had some imitations, but the imitation can not be fake at all, which is more imaginary of the precious Cheng dù of the firewood kiln.

If Chen Yi thought that the secret method of the firewood kiln in this box could make the whole world shake, then once this beautiful porcelain was fired, it would definitely cause even greater vibration.

Its appearance is not just a kind of porcelain that has disappeared for thousands of years, but the first preservation of Chinese porcelain, and the celadon handed down in modern times is only the most famous in Longquan kiln, but it is far from being compared with the firewood kiln.

Chen Yi identified the firewood kiln porcelain in his hand, this piece of firewood kiln porcelain, using the clay and glaze identified in reality, then it will also have a valuable storage zài, which has been confirmed in some previous porcelain firing.

He wanted to see how much this piece of wood-kiln porcelain could be worth, not the most perfect piece of wood-kiln porcelain.

Soon, the identification results appeared, "The item was successfully identified, and the information is as follows, the firewood kiln blue glaze small bowl (imitation), made zuò age: about fifteen minutes ago." ”

"Artistic characteristics: firewood kiln, founded in the five dynasties after the Zhou, its glaze set of ancient celadon glaze color, but also fully absorbed the essence of the Tang Dynasty secret color porcelain, glaze calm and quiet, crystal moist, the color will change with the light, from dark to shallow, set thousands of peaks and emerald in one, reached the highest level of ancient green glaze color, and has the characteristics of blue as the sky, thin as paper, bright as a mirror, and sound as exhaustive."

"Imitation advantages: this porcelain imitation process is the true inheritance of the firewood kiln, whether it is drawing, glazing, firing, it is made in accordance with the ancient firewood kiln technology, reflecting the characteristics of the firewood kiln."

"Imitation defects: the raw materials used in the preparation of this porcelain glaze are of average quality, blank drawing technology, glazing technology, and firing heat are slightly lacking, and they do not perfectly reflect the characteristics of the firewood kiln." (To be continued......)
