"Old man Gao, are you so sure?" Xu Yang said with a smile as he looked at Gao Boli. Gao Boli was also a little bottomless by Xu Yang, he was one of the first few old people who contacted Xu Yang, he still has a certain understanding of Xu Yang, this child is not only smart, the most important thing is that this kid is very lucky, and there is another point that they can't compare, that is, this kid has a pair of extremely accurate eyes. No matter what he looks at, he is very careful, and many small things that he can't see by others will find them.
Once again, I picked up the three-colored horse in my hand and looked at it, this time I took out a lot of professional tools, and the degree of care was comparable to looking at this three-color horse in my eyes. Xu Yang has been watching attentively, of course Sun Lao also stayed to watch, seeing the appearance of the two, Sun Lao had to admit that he, a kid who watched the growth, has now surpassed himself, so he can't understand it.
"Huh?" Gao Boli frowned, not that he found anything, but that he didn't find anything, or that he found a little unusual, but he couldn't prove anything, but he could see that this thing was a little wrong, and now it seemed that the shape and color glaze of this object were a little wrong.
"Did Elder Gao find something?" asked Elder Sun from the side.
"Nope. But it just feels like something is wrong. Stinky boy, don't grin, tell me what you see wrong. Elder Gao said with some unconvinced.
"Don't be angry, in fact, I'll just guess it, originally, I thought you could give me a positive answer when you were old, where did you think it was still like this, but I found a little different, you always take a look!" After speaking, he pointed to the inside of the inner wall, if it wasn't for a special angle, it shone on a special light that couldn't be seen at all and said, "You always look here, the performance here is obviously two layers." ”
This is a place at the horse's mouth. Gao Lao took a magnifying glass, and after shining it with a strong light flashlight, he found that it was really, there was a place smaller than millet grains, and there was a double-layer pigment, which made Gao Lao very surprised, he used a magnifying glass, and he had to use a strong light flashlight to see the place, this kid actually saw it directly with his eyes, which is also too ......
Not only him, but even Sun Lao was surprised. However, for Xu Yang, he already has a great immunity. As for Gao Boli, I have to say that people are the real people, and they don't have as many fancy thoughts as Xu Yang, and he doesn't care about Xu Yang's smiling appearance on the side. Instead, I took out a lot of professional things and started to check. Finally, he sighed and said, "You kid, those eyes are like electronic scanners." You've guessed it right, it's really a "hidden" thing! It's just that this technique reminds me of the two-color concealment method introduced in the book. This craft has been lost for hundreds of years. ”
Xu Yang didn't care about Gao Boli's sigh, but the sentence that your eyes are like an electronic scanner made Xu Yang startled, that's right, Xu Yang's eyes are now an electronic scanner It is not an exaggeration to say that it is an electronic scanner. Xu Yang felt that he couldn't be like this in the future, and it would be bad if he was really suspected by others one day.
"Elder Gao, it's not that my eyes are good, it's that you're sloppy. But what is the double-layer concealment method you are talking about, can this thing restore its original appearance?" Xu Yang said as he changed the subject. 、
"Hehe, then let me ask you first, do you know what Tang Sancai is?" Gao Boli did not answer Xu Yang, but asked first.
Xu Yang smiled, how could he not know such a famous porcelain, he knew everything about several famous kilns, as well as some porcelain unique in history!
Tang Sancai is a kind of pottery that prevailed in the Tang Dynasty, with yellow, brown and green as the basic glaze colors, and later people habitually called this kind of pottery "Tang Sancai". The birth of Tang Sancai has a history of more than 1,300 years, it absorbs the characteristics of Chinese traditional Chinese painting, sculpture and other arts and crafts, and adopts decorative patterns in the form of stacking and pasting, carving, etc., with rough and powerful lines.
Tang Sancai is a kind of low-temperature lead-glazed pottery, adding different metal oxides to the color glaze, after roasting, it forms a variety of colors such as light yellow, ochre yellow, light green, dark green, sky blue, brown red, eggplant purple, etc., but mostly yellow, ochre, green three colors. It is mainly the color glaze coated on the clay blank, which undergoes chemical changes in the baking process, the color glaze changes in shade, infiltrates each other, mottled and dripping, the color is naturally coordinated, and the pattern is smooth, which is a traditional handicraft with a unique style of China. Tang Sancai in the mutual reflection of colors, showing the magnificent artistic charm. Tang Sancai was used for burial, as a spiritual vessel, because its fetal quality is brittle, the waterproof performance is poor, and the practicality is far inferior to the celadon and white porcelain that have appeared at that time.
Tang Sancai is mainly distributed in Chang'an and Luoyang, in Chang'an is called the West Kiln, in Luoyang is called the East Kiln. In the Tang Dynasty, thick burials were prevalent, not only for high-ranking officials and nobles, but also for the common people, which has formed a trend.
There are many types of people, animals, bowls and plates, water vessels, wine vessels, stationery, furniture, houses, and even pots and jars containing ashes. Generally speaking, the horse warriors are more popular, some of them gallop with their feet raised, some wander and stand, and some neigh, all of which show a variety of lifelike postures. As for the character modeling, there are women, civil officials, military generals, Hu figurines, and heavenly kings, according to the social status and rank of the characters, different personalities and characteristics are portrayed: the noble lady has a round face, combed into various hair buns, wears colorful clothes, the civil officials are polite, the warriors are strong and brave, the Hu figurines have high noses and deep eyes, and the heavenly king's angry eyes are mighty and majestic, which is enough to be a model of ancient sculpture in our country.
The rise of Tang Sancai in the Tang Dynasty had its historical reasons. First of all, the rapid development of the ceramic industry, as well as the continuous improvement of the level of sculpture and architectural art, have promoted the continuous combination and continuous development between them, so from figures to animals and living utensils can be expressed on Tang Sancai's utensils.
After the rule of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, the national strength was strong and all industries were prosperous, but it also led to the corruption of the lives of some high-ranking officials, so the practice of thick burials became more and more prosperous. Tang Sancai was also a kind of dark weapon at that time, and it was once included in the express regulations of the government, the first grade, the second grade, the third grade, and the fourth grade, that is, how many pieces he could be allowed to bury with him, but in fact, as these dignitaries and dignitaries, they were not satisfied with the express regulations, but they often increased many times more than the official regulations, and did this kind of thick burial. The official style is like this, and the folk style is of course the same, so from top to bottom there is such a thick burial style, which is one of the main reasons why Tang Sancai was able to develop and rise rapidly in the Central Plains at that time.
Tang Sancai occupies an important historical position in Chinese culture and has left a strong mark in the history of Chinese ceramics. Tang Sancai was born in the Tang Dynasty because of its cultural origins. First of all, the mature ceramic technology is the material basis for the birth of Tang Sancai; secondly, the flourishing style of thick burial in the Tang Dynasty is the direct guide to its birth; thirdly, the history and culture of various fields in the Tang Dynasty is the best artistic nourishment for its birth. The birth of Tang Sancai is also the birth of Sancai glaze decoration technology, which is the process of combining glaze decoration and carcass decoration. The brilliant and brilliant Tang Sancai, its gorgeous and colorful artistic effect has been perfectly played and vividly displayed on the figurines with exquisite sculptures and vivid shapes.
The production process of Tang Sancai is very complicated. First of all, the mined ore soil should be selected, pounded, washed, precipitated, and dried, and then made into a tire with a mold and fired in the kiln. Tang Sancai's firing adopts the secondary firing method. From the point of view of raw materials, its carcass is made of white clay, and it is fired at 1000-1100C in the kiln, and the roasted plain tire is cooled, and then the prepared glaze is applied to the kiln glaze firing, and the firing temperature is 850-950C. In the glaze, a variety of oxide metals are used as colorants, and various colors are presented after calcination. After the glaze is fired, some characters need to open their faces again, the so-called open face is that the antique products of the character's head are not glazed, it has to go through a thrush, lip point, hair painting process, and then this Tang Sancai product is completed.
Tang Sancai's basic molding methods include wheel making, molding, and sculpture, and several methods are often used in combination on a piece of artery. Wheel system is a method of making ceramics with wheeled carts. The main component is a wooden round wheel, there is a vertical shaft under the wheel, the lower end of the vertical shaft is buried in the soil, and the upper end has a hub, which is convenient for the rotation of the round wheel. During operation, the wheel is tossed to rotate smoothly, and the rotational force of the wheel car is used to draw the blank mud into the desired shape with both hands. The wheel making method began in the late Neolithic period of the Dawenkou culture, and the utensils made were regular. Cups, plates, bowls, saucers, bottles, stoves, pots, cans, etc., are mostly made of wheels. Molding, similar to the manual extrusion method in modern ceramic manufacturing. It is mostly used to make small items with simple shapes. There are two types of molding: single mold and mold clamping. The single mold is made by putting mud into the mold and extruding it, which is suitable for decorative decals and other small accessories on the utensils. The double mold is made of two halves pressed and docked, and the clamping is suitable for living utensils, maids, animals and more complex utensils. Sculpture molding is mostly suitable for large servants and complex utensils. The production of a more complex three-color ware requires a variety of molding methods.
Speaking of which. Xu Yang looked at Gao Boli, which meant that he still had to say it. About Tang Sancai Xu Yang has indeed really studied, and he also hopes that one day he will get a Sancai, and he has not said anything about Tang Sancai's characteristics. He felt that he had said that this should be enough!, but Gao Boli nodded and begged him to continue, as if he had the intention of teaching him.
Sun Lao also looked at Xu Yang with a smile, Sun Lao is also Xu Yang's teacher in the industry, at the beginning, only Sun Lao looked at Xu Yang, a child who was honest, diligent, and eyesighted, so he taught some, which can be regarded as bringing into the industry!
