At noon, Wang Honghai's hearty and magnetic voice sounded on the radio in the entire area: "Hello comrades! I'm Wang Honghai. First of all, on behalf of the institute and the administrative team, I would like to extend my warm congratulations to all of you!"

"The CNC machine tool developed by our research institute made headlines on the front page yesterday and was highly praised by the superior leaders!"

At this time, warm applause and cheers suddenly sounded on the radio, and the employees in the district were full of proud smiles on their faces.

After the applause subsided, he continued: "This major technological breakthrough is really a proud achievement of all the staff of our institute!" Among them, our Jiang Yan and Comrade Jiang played a key role. ”

At the mention of Jiang Yan, the audience burst into warm applause.

"At the same time, I want to tell you that Chief Engineer Jiang once again gave up this reward, and he distributed the reward he received to everyone. In order to reward the majority of employees who participated in the development, Chief Engineer Jiang contributed his own bonuses and welfare tickets, and the leaders of the institute decided to pay a part of the money on the basis of Mr. Jiang's reward, and send it to everyone as a reward this time.

"By the time the time comes, each employee in the institute will get a pound of pork, a pound of apples and half a pound of white rabbit toffee! The reward can be received at the window of the No. 1 canteen, please line up in order to receive it. ”

"Finally, let us give us another round of applause and congratulate you on this remarkable achievement!" Wang Honghai's voice resounded in every corner through the radio.

The warm applause of the audience sounded again, for a long time, everyone's expression was quite excited, and the leaders who can give flesh to employees this year are good leaders.

"Okay, everyone, please get the meat tickets in order, don't be in a hurry and crowd, please have a good meal in the factory today, celebrate! Finally, we must work hard to make our institute achieve better results!"

Cheerful music rang over the radio, signaling the official end of the announcement.

For a while, the entire factory area was boiling.

"There's meat to eat!"

"And apples and toffee!"

"After working hard for so long, I finally have something delicious!"

"We want to thank our Mr. Jiang."

"Yes, yes, thank you Mr. Jiang, whoever wants to say bad things about Mr. Jiang in the future will not be able to spare him."

The workers who were originally operating the machine tool or burying their heads in work jumped up from their seats one by one with excitement at this moment, their faces were full of ecstasy.

The hard work has finally paid off handsomely.

This joy is heartfelt and contagious to everyone.

Soon, the crowd poured into the cafeteria, and a long queue formed. Although the team was crowded, everyone had a smile on their faces, and the workers, technicians, and engineers were all mixed in the team, all of them in good spirits.

Liu Haizhong stood on the edge of the line, looking at the workers queuing up to receive tickets with a smile on his face, and at the same time he had an indescribable pride in his heart.

Thinking of this, he was full of gratitude to Jiang Yan in his heart, without him there would be no current self, but Liu Haizhong also understood that without Jiang Yan, he would not be mixed in the institute, and the seven workshops of the entire research institute counted his own face, and he was quite satisfied with all this today.

But now he has a clear understanding of himself, and he is the apex of being a workshop director in his life, and as for climbing up, his foundation is quite clear, and he still suffers the loss of culture! It's too late to regret it now.

"Director Liu, don't go and get things yet." The words of greeting from the director of the first workshop brought Liu Haizhong back to his senses.

The bangs that came back to his senses were also smiling Mimi's words to Director Wang of the first workshop: "I'm not waiting for the workers to finish receiving it first, I'm not in a hurry, I'm not in a hurry." ”

The noise outside Jiang Yan in the office was actually not clear, he was now full of joy to open one box after another, and after a while, the table in his office was already full of all kinds of porcelain.

Seeing these porcelain, Jiang Yan was full of joy, looking at this, touching that, happy like a three-year-old child.

By following Niu Ye's learning, Jiang Yan is not a little white who doesn't know anything, Jiang Yan still knows a little about the knowledge of porcelain, these porcelains look elegant, and even the patterns are a little simple, but they have a lot of background, this is a very famous "Jianguo porcelain." ”

In 1949, after the establishment of the country, domestic and foreign affairs activities were frequent, so state banquets of different specifications were often held, but due to the long-term war and weak national strength, there was not even a set of tableware that could represent the state banquet.

In 1952, he put forward a proposal to organize the production of porcelain for the founding of the country: "China is a country of porcelain, after the establishment of the country, it should clearly show the style of the new country, should summarize the good experience in history, and create a new national porcelain and national gift porcelain." ”

This proposal was quickly supported by the chiefs. Soon, the "Jianguo Porcelain Design Committee" was formally established. After several meetings, it was decided that the "Jianguo Porcelain" would be designed by the Ceramics Department of the Department of Applied Fine Arts of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, and the ceramic producing areas such as Jingdezhen, Yuling and Yixing would be responsible for the production.

The then president of the Central Academy of Fine Arts attached great importance to this work. In October of the same year, the Central Academy of Fine Arts drew up a list of the Jianguo Porcelain Design Committee to the Ministry of Light Industry, which brought together industry leaders, and the lineup was unprecedentedly strong.

What kind of design should Jianguo porcelain look like has always been a big problem for designers.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, banquets and ceremonial meals became an embarrassing problem for a time. In the official celebrations dominated by Western food, a variety of hotel tableware was mainly used, while Chinese food followed the specifications of the Qing court, which was extremely inconsistent in the eyes of outsiders.

In order to solve this problem, four sophomores, led by associate professors of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, worked together to study and design Chinese and Western tableware that could represent the new China.

They first went to the famous traditional restaurant Cuihua Lou for research, and then, according to the chief's request, removed the flashy and cumbersome supporting facilities of the old Chinese food, integrated utensils of similar specifications, and simplified them into new Jianguo porcelain Chinese tableware. For the specifications of Western-style tableware, the whole set of tableware used at BJ Hotel at that time was referenced.

At the end of 1952, the design team submitted a variety of Chinese and Western tableware designs. The chief made the final decision: to use blue and white doucai peony ornamented tableware as the Chinese tableware style, and blue and white begonia ornamented tableware as the Western tableware style. This is the origin of Jianguo porcelain.

The successful firing of Jianguo porcelain not only resolved the passive situation of the country's diplomatic activities at that time, and made a specific contribution to the establishment of a vigorous and progressive image of a great country, but also effectively promoted the modernization of China's ceramic industry, ceramic art, ceramic science and education. The essence behind the successful firing of Jianguo porcelain is that it reasonably gathers various forces such as the law of historical process, the guidance of the national will, local characteristics, industry demands, and people's happiness needs, which is in line with the people's wishes.

Such a founding porcelain according to the vision of later generations, this porcelain is somewhat simple, but it represents a great significance, in later generations is also a popular collection of things, the superior to Jiang Yan this batch of porcelain is a whole two sets for hospitality, the same is the porcelain of Western food, how not to make Jiang Yan feel surprised, but such porcelain Jiang Yan can be reluctant to use, just play one can make him feel distressed for a long time, or the best collection, let Xu Damao Tao exchange those kiln boutique can be used improvised.
