When it comes to glaze, also known as "glaze", the first thing you will think of is that its magnificent appearance contains a legendary color, glaze has a variety of colors, in ancient times people also called it "five-color stone", it is one of the traditional handicrafts of the Han nationality in China, and it is also the ancient name of glass, because it is difficult to get it in ancient times, so people at that time even regarded glaze as more precious than jade, but now it seems that few people mention it.

"Historical Records" contains, Tao Zhu Gong (Fan Li) in his later years of seclusion, concentrating on firing glaze, for pleasure, his real gold glazed basin, in the folk is enshrined as a cornucopia, he is the official when the hand of the tooth wat evolved, evolved into the God of Wealth in the hands of the Ruyi, its year-end rebate to the customer's practice, to today become the "Li City" custom.

The ancient method of glaze is therefore known as the God of Wealth token, with the function of "attracting wealth", after Buddhism spread to China, the glaze is the treasure. The sutra reads: "May in my next life, when I attain Bodhi, be like glass, clear inside and out, pure and unblemished." Therefore, the ancient method of glaze has become the crown of the seven treasures of Buddhism, and it is a spiritual object to eliminate diseases and avoid evil.

Legend has it that Xi Shi's tears when he said goodbye to Fan Li's poignant tears fell on the token "Li" on the chest, and the loyal thing when the sword was cast was also emotional. The name of "Liuli" comes from this.

The beauty of glass exists between the games of light and shadow, and flows to the top of the characters. The shadow has the meaning of shadow, but it makes the light more graceful; People have human feelings, but they make things more spiritual; The casting house is deliberate, and the jade actually gets the interest of breath; The house is complicated, and the instrument is actually leisurely and happy. The beauty of harmony is the great beauty. The meaning of the trade-off is to say that it is a great achievement.

Large or small, floating or sinking bubbles are common in glazed carvings, and these bubbles are the characteristics of glazed life. These bubbles swim among the crystals, floating between the ribbons of tender watery colours.

Whether it is happy and free, whether it is affectionate, or heroic spirit, the glass is telling, we are listening, which also makes the colored glass ware in the art decoration more unique.

The glaze is created by the lost-wax casting method, and the first process after the design of the drawings is to carry out clay mold carving. The exquisite carving process, or delicate and vivid, or rough atmosphere, lays a solid foundation for the subsequent process.

Glass has a very rich and rich color, which is also different from ordinary crystal. The flow and blending of various colors tell different stories. Red: It is a traditional and unique festive taste; Huang: It is a gorgeous turn of the royal family and nobles; Blue and green are a return to the simple and calm jump, and it is a different kind of noble and leisurely feeling.

Liuli is an ancient Chinese material, it has a history of 2466 years, and has been used exclusively by the royal family since ancient times, and there are extremely strict grade requirements for users, so it is rare among the people. By the Ming Dynasty, it had been basically lost, and it was only recorded in legends and monsters. Friends who have watched "Journey to the West" should have the impression that the sand monk in "Journey to the West" was demoted to heaven because he broke a glass cup.

Because of its technological characteristics of "coming from the fire and going from the water", Buddhism believes that the glass is the embodiment of the realm of thousands of years of practice. In all the allusions, "the form and spirit are like glass" is regarded as the highest state of Buddhist cultivation.

Placing or wearing glass can obtain three kinds of blessings

Dispelling diseases: Practitioners believe that glass is the incarnation of Medicine Buddha, which can eliminate diseases and drive away evil spirits, so that people can obtain the blessings of health.

Perseverance: Due to the difficulty of firing, Buddhism believes that glaze can make people feel the difficulty of refining the truth and gain the power of tenacity.

Inspiration: Brilliant colors, changing magnificence, giving people artistic beauty and imagination space, giving people inspiration and wisdom.

Chinese glaze is the perfect combination of ancient Han culture and modern art, its brilliance, change magnificent, is the exquisite, delicate, subtle embodiment of the Oriental people, is the fusion of thought, emotion and art.

Colored glass, also known as "glaze", is made of artificial crystal (containing 24% lead dioxide) of various colors (the color is formed by various rare metals) as raw materials, and is fired at a high temperature of more than 1,000 degrees. Its colors are cloudy and colorful; Its quality is crystal clear and dazzling.

The earliest written record of glaze production can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty. Li Kang of the Tang Dynasty has such a record in "Du Yi Zhi": In the Kaiyuan period, there were two dogs from Chang'an, who were peddlers and two dogs, and they tried to go back and forth to Zijun to sell silk, and they made a small profit.

One day, the orphan house was stolen and all the property was lost. The second dog sighed: God doesn't help me. Then he wanted to commit suicide. In the dark, I saw an old man, dressed in brocade and jade belt, wearing a crown, wearing a red robe, white face and long beard, gentle and elegant, "Ruyi" in his left hand, "Yuanbao" in his right hand. Xingjun said: "You should be rich and rich, how can you take your own life!" Don't hear that Zizhou is out of glass? "And he gave up an ingot, and he went. The second dog sold glass and grew up to be the richest man. I was also grateful for the gift of Xingjun and changed his name to ingots.

Chinese glaze is the perfect combination of ancient traditional culture and modern art, its brilliance, change magnificent, is the exquisite, delicate, subtle embodiment of the Oriental people, is the integration of thought, emotion and art. In the glaze, large or small, floating or sinking, bubbles are the characteristics of the life of the glaze. These bubbles swim among the crystals, floating between the ribbons of tender watery colours.

Whether it is happy and free, affectionate, or heroic, Liuli is telling, we are listening. However, even the very incomplete craftsmanship of the Ming Dynasty is still protected by the grade, and the glass at that time was already very impermeable, so it was called medicinal jade. "Ming System" contains: The ornament awarded by the emperor to the champion is medicinal jade, and it is equipped with more than four grades.

Qing Dynasty Qianlong glazed ware represents the highest level of ancient Chinese glass production, lasting nearly 3,000 years of ancient Chinese glass in the Qing Dynasty Qianlong period, has undergone a milestone leap and qualitative revolutionary changes, its degree of exquisiteness and artistic standards and the creation of porcelain, bronze, jade artistic achievements go hand in hand. Combining casting, carving, grinding and hot and cold processing techniques, it is a pocket-sized condensed art treasure and even an independent art variety.

Therefore, the Qianlong glazed ware of the Qing Dynasty has become the object of high-end collectors chasing into the collection. After Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty, the glazed material began to decline, and it has not been surpassed.

The picture below is the glazed rough stone that Xiaobian was fortunate to see, which is irregularly shaped, light in shape, good in quality, and matte in appearance. Brilliant colors, changing magnificence, giving people artistic beauty and imagination space, giving people inspiration and wisdom.

It gives people a moist and soft feeling, and it is a raw material that has not been processed and carved, and has a lot of room for imagination, design and creation. The value lies in the high plasticity and great collectible value!

There are actually many people who know glass, especially in ancient times, glass as a special material, like apricot yellow and dragon pattern, belongs to the royal family. At the beginning, only the real royal family could use glazed products, and the manufacturing process of glaze was also controlled by royal craftsmen.

Because of the discoverer of the glass, that is, Fan Li, in the eyes of the ancestors, people believe that the glass and crystal are the same, with the function of memory and inheritance, and more importantly, the glass can bless the owner of "the home is to the daughter, the official is to the prime minister".

There are many names for glass beads in ancient China: Miao Lin, Langxuan, Liulin, Boli, Glass, Jar Jade, Medicine Jade, etc., and the history of Chinese glassmaking, although later than that of West Asia, began at the latest in the Western Anniversary: glass beads and glass tubes were unearthed in the Western Zhou tombs in Luoyang, Henan and Baoji, Shaanxi. In the tombs of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were more and more abundant glass products, not only small objects such as glass beads, but also various glass jewelry made by "molding" and "winding silk" and other technologies.

Tombs of the Han Dynasty have unearthed glass bowls and flat glass, all of which are 100% "Made in China".

To the Warring States period to the Han Dynasty, China's glass manufacturing technology has made great progress, this period of lead barium glass, its color, transparency are similar to jade, so some people say that the ancients are imitating jade, in fact, the process is not mature at that time, glass because of the low firing temperature, there are a large number of bubbles, and contains barium, so the transparency is not high, very similar to opaque jade.

This kind of opacity cannot be deliberately done by the ancients, because during the Qing Dynasty, the transparent glass of the West was greatly loved by people when it came to China.

In the pre-Qin era it was more developed, all kinds of utensils are dazzling, some of the glass products of the Warring States period were unearthed by archaeology and now glass products are on par, the country is not allowed to go abroad class of special cultural relics, China's own glass production technology has existed until the Sui Dynasty, but in the Sui and Tang wars a large number of craftsmen disappeared, and later was replaced by the more practical and gorgeous porcelain that flourished in the Tang and Song dynasties, glass products have since been marginalized, niche, and the loss of skills has become weaker and weaker. Wei Zhengdu lamented the decline of Chinese glass in the Tang Dynasty in the book.

There is also the decline of Chinese lacquerware, also because of the prosperity of porcelain, its skills and raw materials at that time China monopoly unique, convenient mass manufacturing, beautiful shape, interpretation of durable, is the export of the world's high-precision luxury products.

During the Kangxi reign of the Qing Dynasty, the imperial court ordered the Office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to set up a glaze (glass) factory to make glazed products for the court. However, at that time, there was already a kiln for firing glazed terracotta tiles and tiles, specializing in firing glazed bricks and glazed tiles for construction, and this kiln has always been called "glazed factory".

Therefore, in order to avoid confusion in the name, this new glass factory was named "glass factory", and the products produced by it were all named after glass to distinguish them from architectural glass. However, this distinction is also limited to the imperial court, and it is difficult to unify among the people.

In ancient times, ordinary people did not have the right to use this kind of thing, generally "glaze" this kind of thing is applied to the court ornaments and the emperor's chopsticks, etc., the Qing Dynasty royal room has a "glaze factory". If you exceed the rules, you will be killed. The reason why ancient glass was not widely used in all aspects is mainly because of the backward manufacturing technology, and ordinary glass will explode when poured hot water in winter, and it has no good performance.
