Zhang Qingyun said: "This is ancestral, we have several generations, all of them are folk curium porcelain artists. My ancestors were in Zhangjiadian, Weifang, Shandong, and my grandfather came to the Northeast during the Republic of China. At the same time, he also passed on the craft of curium porcelain to my grandfather, father and me.

"When I was a child, I watched my grandfather play with curium porcelain behind him, and I knew more about this. But when I started doing it in 2013, I felt that it looked different from before.

"Now repairing a teapot is a delicate job, in the past, repairing a large vat, curium vat, that was rough work, and now it is two completely different concepts. Then it took me almost two years to conduct research experiments before I understood all the processes of curium porcelain.

"In two years, I broke nearly a hundred teapots. In the process, the hand was bruised, the skin was broken, the skin was bleeding, and sometimes several small swollen bags were often done.

"It was very difficult to make curium porcelain tools. At first, I thought it was using that diamond, and when I was making a large vat, I also thought about it. Now this small teapot also uses diamond diamonds, and it turned out that it cost thousands of dollars to buy diamonds.

"Buy diamond and weld diamond drill bits yourself. It was welded more than a dozen times, and in the end it didn't work for several months, and it cost nearly four or five thousand yuan. Then I saw a picture on the Internet - a gyro drill. ”

Lan Eucalyptus looked at the plaque hanging on the wall: "Curium porcelain without trace" is the highest level of your pursuit of curium porcelain? What do you mean by "ingenuity"?

Lan Eucalyptus also wanted to ask him a question of social concern, after all, this is a family heirloom, will there be any reservations about accepting apprentices? After all, there is a loss of skills in cultural inheritance, do you have any views on the "cultural self-confidence and cultural consciousness" of contemporary college students?

Zhang Qingyun said: "Yes, why do I want to take this curium porcelain without traces, I just want my work, so that my craftsmanship is flawless." The finished work is artistically better than the original one before it was damaged.

"After the repair, there is a saying: curium porcelain art, sewing the beauty of the incomplete. To play with craftsmanship, you must be fine and have the spirit of craftsmanship. Like a teapot spout shattered, wrap it with silver sheets.

A piece of silver deformed him, turning into the shape of a teapot's curved spout, wrapped tightly and clinging to the spout wall. It is hammered with a small hammer, and a spout has to be hammered nearly a thousand times. If you use too much force, the porcelain pot will shatter as soon as you exert yourself.

"The superb skills of each of them have also added infinite technical nutrition to my craft. I also learned from them the core craftsmanship of the tradition.

"I think this old craft must be passed on, and you can see the picture of our curium porcelain artist from the Qingming Shanghe map, which is about thousands of years old. Since about the sixties and seventies, the craft of curium porcelain has basically disappeared.

"In order not to lose these old skills, it is our generation's responsibility and obligation to continue to pass them on. Publish some articles, publish some pictures, open a skylight for aspirants and people who want to learn the craft, so that they can see the infinite charm of this craft.

"I never leave a hand in my teaching, and sometimes I'm afraid they won't. The skills I taught were not only limited to curium porcelain, but also seven or eight techniques such as engraving and inlay, welding techniques for ultra-thin copper plates and silver plates, and jade maintenance, and I had no reservations.

"Nowadays, young people are learning very little, very little. Young people still have a misconception - they are too ambitious, and they are still not too interested in this traditional craft.

"I hope it's these young people, it's better to learn some crafts, as the saying goes: art is not pressing, a skill goes all over the world, no matter what society you go to, no matter what era you can't starve you of.

"The current curium porcelain may be more expensive than buying a teapot, and I used to be reluctant to throw away a broken pot and a broken pot to find someone to repair it. It's like buying a broken dress now, and we might just think about buying another one.

"But the tea drinker, like a pet to his teapot, will pour water on it every day when he drinks tea, that is, to moisten the teapot and maintain it.

"Tea drinkers maintain this pot every day, and it is very moist and shiny after it is raised, so that every time you drink tea, you will feel comfortable and have feelings.

"If you say a pot of 200 yuan, it may cost 4 or 500 yuan to repair it, but he is willing to spend this money to repair it. Another feature of our curium porcelain craftsmanship is that it is more beautiful and better than the original after the repair, and it has more artistic value.

"A lot of people feel very interesting when they see me making porcelain, and they bring the pot to me to break it for him, using soybeans, or using frozen water from the refrigerator. That's the feeling he wants. ”

Lan Yu thought for a while and asked: "Not only curium porcelain, but now we may see that many traditional crafts are more inclined to art and inheritance, in your opinion, what are the pros and cons of this?" ”

Zhang Qingyun said: "According to my contact in the past few years, I usually interviewed or experienced it myself, and this phenomenon does exist.

"I think that the traditional craft should be passed on in its original form, and it will be over, and it will be meaningless not to pursue the icing on the cake and change the taste of the traditional craft.

"It's good to keep it raw. The chiseled flowers and birds are motifs, and some of them still want to be inlaid with diamonds, and this and that lose the meaning of this curium porcelain.

"According to my hobby of crafts over the years, I personally feel that it is a person's life, you must know a little bit of technology or craft, and knowing a craft can enrich your spare time.

"Especially after retirement when you are older, if you don't have a hobby to support you and don't use your hands and brains, you will fall asleep early.

"For the Chinese, porcelain is not just a vessel, but also an emotion. Therefore, repairing damaged porcelain is not only to give new life to damaged porcelain, but also to repair a broken emotion. ”

May all the broken things in the world be treated with tenderness like curium porcelain. Curium porcelain is a test of patience, because the restoration of a piece of porcelain depends on the physical and mental concentration of the curium porcelain master, and you need to be very focused on doing this.

The restoration of porcelain pays attention to not only repairing good weapons, but also playing new tricks, when the curium becomes a decoration on the utensils, and the utensils are integrated, this is an artistic re-creation process? Curium porcelain is actually a very dirty, very tiring work, generally in this industry, the proportion of women is very small.

"The reason why I insist on doing curium porcelain is because I think that the act of repairing itself is actually to maintain and maintain the commemorative significance, artistic value, and commodity value of the object itself, or to maintain its own function.

"But when I finish repairing the porcelain, I will find that it is more of a sense of satisfaction in my heart, this object not only has artistic value, commercial value, it is also poured into a lot of emotional value.

"I am a very emotional person, I believe that many things are predestined, what should be experienced must be experienced, what should be met must be encountered, and what should be done must be done. Repair is also a practice! ”

There is an old naughty boy in Fushun, Liaoning, his name is Wang Zhenhai, and his stage name is "Wang Laoxi", because he has not taken the usual path since he was studying, and others can use broken porcelain to become intact again in his hands, he is a curium porcelain craftsman, known as "the world's first curium".

Wang Laoxi's craft is passed down from generation to generation, that is, the grandfather passes on the grandson, not the son, he is the fifth generation, and the ancestor is called "Shandong Qiaogong Wang Shenhand".

When Kangxi Weifu paid a private visit, he also touched his family's diamond diamond, his grandfather used to be the queen mother of Cixi, the tools of Wang Laoxi's house, take any one, often have a history of hundreds of years, and the time of several generations seems to be inlaid there.

Wang Laoxie began to learn art at the age of four, and at the age of eleven he cultivated the first pot in his life, and spent most of his life with curium porcelain, he really liked this craft.

When Zhang Guoli came to him with a broken baby, Wang Laoxian played with his heart, made a bottom support, and made a moving plum blossom, and Zhang Guoli was so happy to apprentice, and said bluntly, "Wang Laoxie is really evil", the old man was like a child, and he happily compared two on his head.

Wang Laoxie has mastered 24 kinds of 72 kinds and 136 unique skills of restoring old porcelain, and he used the inlay unique skills to polish the blue and white teapot brought by Zhang Guoli with a moving plum blossom.

Wang Laoxie recalled that in the past, the craftsmen walked the streets and alleys, all shaking a wave drum and shouting "curium work...... Curium live ......", people will take broken bowls, broken pots, after the curium craftsman repairs the work, he will ask the master for water to drink, pour the water on the repaired porcelain, got! If you don't leak, you're done.

In Wang Laoxie's house, there is a wall full of express boxes, which are sent by people from all over the country, hoping that Wang Laoxie can help repair it, Zhang Guoli said: "What people send is a hope, and what Wang Laoxie gives is a fulfillment."

Wang Laoyi said: "The most important thing in curium porcelain is to forge curium nails, his curium nails are different from other people's, one-tenth of gold is added to them, the ductility is better, and it will not rust, look, it is all golden."

He cut the copper plate into two centimeter-wide branches, and then cut into a small diamond shape, on the porcelain bowl to punch two-thirds of the eye, can not penetrate it, the hole of the diamond drill is actually not pointed, is a bit like the ridge of the flat flat, and then the hook angle of the nail tightly bite the porcelain, so that it "a hammer embedded".

The most test of the essence of the skill is to make flower nails, that is, there are patterns of curium nails, curium craftsmen will be based on the pattern of porcelain, words to forge, such as a cup of curium a lotus flower into a lotus pond in the water, a bowl or plate filled with water on a fish is like a fish in water, curium a bat is a blessing from the sky, which is also one of the reasons why people love curium porcelain.

Objects that have long been broken have passed through the hands of the curium maker, and the mutilation becomes a kind of beauty, and becomes a wish for life.

Wang Laoxie once spent more than 10,000 yuan to collect six pieces of broken porcelain from five dynasties, and turned them into a tea cup with both hands, tightly sealed, the only one in the world, called "Qihe Cup".

Someone out of the high price of 12 million, Wang Laoxie is not sold, he said that this is the representative of his own curium porcelain craftsmanship, these porcelain pieces that have experienced the vicissitudes of the world, through the craft of curium porcelain, have a new life, this is not the decay into magic?

The five spliced porcelain tiles are: Yue kiln (Song Dynasty), Jingdezhen Dragon kiln (Qing Dynasty), blue and white porcelain (Yuan Dynasty), Longquan porcelain (Song Dynasty), Nanhai No. 1 (Ming Dynasty), with an estimated value of 12 million.

But now fewer and fewer people need curium porcelain, Wang Lao said, "Now curium costs 10 yuan for a nail, and it may be a few dollars to buy a bowl, who will come?" Therefore, there are fewer and fewer people who are willing to come to learn art, Wang Laoxie can't bear to break the craft in his own hands, and resolutely breaks the family rules and passes the craft to those who have a heart.

A memory when I was a child also aroused his interest in this craft, so I started from the old collection, slowly collected these curium porcelain materials, and slowly entered the curium porcelain industry.

Curium porcelain is actually a very attractive business, such as it has a heritage of more than 1,000 years, for example, it is in line with many cultures in ancient China, such as broken peace, such as China's thrift.

The large board in the studio is covered with tools and utensils to be repaired, although there are many things, but the division is clear, there are lacquerware area, gold area, curium porcelain area and other areas. Pencils, tweezers, hammers, horns, pliers, files, diamond drills, etc., are all commonly used tools for curium porcelain.

Chen Jianguo's studio is basically closed to the public, and the work he takes is passed on by word of mouth from friends, and it is all under an indefinite warranty. Restoration techniques include traceless restoration, curium repair, gold thread, lacquer art or gold and silver, as well as inlaid amber and Shoushan stone. As long as the utensils he handles, he can accurately "take the pulse".

Although it is broken, if I can restore it through some methods, through some means of inheritance, it will not be very beautiful, a utensil has a long history, and at the same time has a long craftsmanship to reflect it.

I hope that we can do a lot of this kind of improvement or exploration on the basis of traditional curium porcelain, so let us curium porcelain artists on the basis of this tradition, we began to integrate lacquer art, began to integrate Japanese gold threads, and began to integrate modern means of repairing utensils.

In his opinion, it only takes seven days to learn to work, but it takes a lifetime to do it well. He also hopes that through his own efforts, he will retain the fading craft and carry it forward.

When a piece of porcelain is broken and left useless, it is a pity to discard it, and the craftsmen begin to think about how to repair the broken porcelain. After arduous exploration and practice, a set of reasonable curium porcelain techniques were successfully summarized, and the greatest contribution was the invention of the unique "curium nails" and "diamond diamonds", and then the industry of curium repair and porcelain was produced.

Curium porcelain craftsmen make preliminary preparations for the restoration of the original state by finding faults and seams in damaged porcelain. Consider the porcelain ornamental structure to locate and dot, determine the number of saw nails and the location of the drilling. Punching with diamond drill is a big test for curium porcelain people, in the millimeter of craftsmanship, the requirements for stability are extremely strict, while keeping the hole symmetrical, can not have a little deviation, a process is stable and accurate.

The production of curium nails reflects the level of the craftsman, the toughness of the nails and the material of the nails also determines the service life of the utensils after the curium porcelain, the old generation of curium porcelain craftsmen handed down the nails are divided into gold nails, copper nails, flower nails, the size of the nails according to the style layout of the utensils, which can not only ensure practicality, so that the utensils are not only not easy to leak after repair, but also add a bit of charm to the utensils themselves, so that the decoration does not appear abrupt. Finally, use egg white and porcelain powder to reconcile and fill the leak, so that the curium porcelain is completed.

Curium repaired porcelain can also withstand the heat of hot food without cracking, in that era when porcelain was particularly precious, they did so to devote ingenuity to craftsmanship and save the decay from dust.

Clarify the will with things, and preach with things. The millennium scene is the companionship of ceramics on the side, how many elegant things are bleak in the mortal dust, and how many people regard them as family treasures and take care of them.

Curium porcelain, with the passage of time has gone through a long time, it has been passed down from the initial restoration skills to today, sublimation has become a reinvention art, on the one hand, it is the pursuit of beauty by curium porcelain craftsmen.

The aesthetic curium porcelain is to modify different curium on different utensils, and the appropriate pattern on the curium is completely a process of artistic re-creation, and the clever use of punching or mutilation creates a more beautiful art. What's more important is the yearning for beauty among the owners of ceramics.

Two years ago, Feng Jie was an urban white-collar worker who loved painting and clothing design. At a class reunion, she happened to see a curium porcelain work, and was immediately impressed by its charm of incomplete beauty, and thus began her own curium porcelain career.

"Curium porcelain is to repair the broken porcelain through copper, iron and other materials, so as to achieve the restoration of use and aesthetic improvement." This sentence is simple to say, to really master it, Feng Jie has spent a lot of time learning and practicing.
