Master descends to earth

Chapter 165
I saw that the porcelain was covered with yellow and black cracks, and the so-called gold thread refers to the finely broken pieces, which are yellow.The iron wire refers to a large piece of open piece, which is black, beautiful and exquisite.

The formation of gold wire and iron wire is due to the fact that during the firing process of porcelain, due to the different expansion coefficients of the tire quality and glaze, it cracks after it comes out of the kiln.Ma Weidu of the Guanfu Museum gave an example that a newly imitated Ge Kiln porcelain in his house could be heard cracking in the dead of night, and it lasted for two years.

After the glaze flakes are exploded, the thick flakes will gradually turn black, while the small flakes will be oxidized to golden yellow because the gap is too small, and the color cannot enter.

Su Yuan played with it with his hands and found that the glaze was moist and moist, and the surface of the glaze was shiny like a slight sweat on a human face. It was as moist as butter!
Take out the magnifying glass, observe carefully and find that the underglaze is full of large and small bubbles, dotted and densely packed, like stars shining.

Gather foam and collect pearls!

Because Ge kiln glaze is thick, the thickest part is even equal to the thickness of the tire, and there are air bubbles in the glaze, which appear like beads, which is wonderful.

Su Yuan sighed, this is the real beauty of regret.In fact, the cracks produced by the Ge kiln are defects in the firing process, which is the result of the inconsistent expansion coefficients of the porcelain body and glaze.

The glazed surface is divided into large and small blocks, dense and dense by nature. The ancient kiln workers thought it was a waste product after discovering it, and reported it to the pottery supervisor for scrapping.

Later, I discovered a natural rhythmic beauty on the broken glaze surface, which can bring people a new kind of artistic enjoyment, so I kept the utensils that I wanted to discard, and began to deliberately pursue such incomplete beauty.

Fully explored by literati for thousands of years and promoted to the highest level of aesthetics, Ge Kiln is unique in the history of ceramics with its imperfect beauty, gaining social recognition and becoming the object of royal esteem in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.In particular, the Song Ge Kiln is regarded as an important piece of jewelry by collectors. Owning one can make you stand out from your peers.

In 1932, when the Rehabilitation Committee of the Qing Dynasty was in the Forbidden City, it found a batch of never-before-seen porcelain. The glaze color was mainly fried beige and gray blue, with different shades. There are many kinds of brown, dark gray, light gray and earthy yellow, and the carcass is relatively dense.

There is a Qianlong poem at the bottom: Yi who changes the evening smoke, and the fragrance is still heard.Made from Chong Yu'er, the color is like the pattern of eel.There was no anger at first, but there seemed to be clouds.After distinguishing and seeing the eighth, where to deal with the root of the nose.

In his "Imperial Poetry Collection", there are as many as 21 poems written by Yong Ge Kiln. The Song Dynasty Ge Kiln is even more mysterious, and the exact kiln site has not been found so far.

There are only about 100 pieces in the world, even less than the number of Yuan blue and white flowers in existence.Every time a Ming and Qing Dynasty imitation masterpiece appears on the international auction market, the transaction price is generally in the millions of dollars.

If it is a Ge kiln handed down from the Song Dynasty, it is priceless!
The more Su Yuan watched, the more excited he became. He saw that the slices were uniform and smooth like a mirror, and he muttered to himself, "Could this be the legendary piece of rubbish!"

Cracking is a kind of kiln deformation, which varies widely. It is also called ice crack. According to the color, it can be divided into eel blood, gold wire and light yellow caviar pattern.

The shapes are mesh pattern, plum pattern, fine broken pattern and so on.It is divided into large opening and small opening.The small pieces are called roe patterns, and the large pieces are called ox hair patterns, willow leaf patterns, and crab claw patterns. They are unique and unique.

What is a hundred rubbish?
Clear and uniform cracks like ice and snow are formed on the ice crystal and jade clean glaze, which are very dense and seamless, and no impurities can invade. After hundreds of years, it still looks crystal clear.

The patina is moist and extremely warm, like broken eggshells, criss-crossing, just like the cracked ice surface on rivers and lakes in the warm and cold season. The cracks open and close, which are taken naturally, giving people endless reverie.

Ge Kiln has no one in a thousand, and it is one in a thousand, and it is known as the best of the best!
The three classics of Longquan, Linglong Porcelain, Brother Kiln Meiziqing, and Ge Kiln Hundred Rubbish, have gone through thousands of years and have been famous for generations, which can be called the insurmountable peak.

A burst of pride rose in Su Yuan's heart. What could be more fulfilling than reviving a long-lost stunt?
An idea flashed in my mind, and I picked up another plain tire. First use Qianfeng Cui color, and then gold wire and iron wire to see what effect it has.
"Hey, although it can be superimposed, the effect..."

Su Yuan shook his head and found that porcelain was still different from swords. A sword could be layered with consecration techniques, and the effect would become better and better.

Porcelain is different, because each has its own aesthetics. Meiziqing and Baijunsui are diametrically opposed standards.One requires the green color of thousands of peaks to be as pure as water, and the other requires the beauty of a kiln as magically crafted.

Moreover, Ge Kiln’s requirements for plain tires are not too high. On the contrary, the thicker it is, the better it is for kiln transformation, so that it can produce dots of air bubbles under the glaze, and the slices are evenly opened, fully highlighting the beauty of incompleteness.

Therefore, Linglong porcelain relies on Liuyun hands and Linglong knife, and the kung fu is all on the plain body. Only when it is extremely thin can it be considered exquisite.

Mei Ziqing lowered the requirements for plain tires one step, and concentrated on the beauty of the mysterious glaze color. How to burn the emerald color of thousands of peaks is the mystery of the ages.

The last one is Ge Kiln, which is the best product that can’t be found. Even the top veterans can’t control the kiln changes.Choose one out of ten thousand, uncanny workmanship, it all depends on the mood of God.

Especially the rubbish, it needs two or three years of continuous transformation, like a phoenix nirvana, reborn from the ashes, even the Ninth Five-Year King can only dream of!
With high fighting spirit, Su Yuan stayed behind closed doors and started a new round of sprinting.Immersed in the craft wholeheartedly, obsessed and unable to extricate myself.

Finally, I saw myself more clearly. I thought I was only interested in swords, but it turned out that I was not.

The most exciting thing is to constantly challenge the limit, conquer each problem, and solve each mystery. When the lost stunt is reproduced, the sense of accomplishment is unstoppable.

Although there are gold fingers, it also requires the craftsman to practice hard to master and achieve perfection.This process is Su Yuan's most enjoyable and challenging goal.

Just when he didn't hear anything outside the window, Mao Zhengcong suddenly called to make an appointment to meet and brought a piece of good news.

"What? The Longquan government wants to collect fine celadon products?"

Mao Zhengcong smiled slightly and explained: "The two major characteristics of Longquan are swords and celadon. A few years ago, the Sword Museum was built. As a major tourist attraction, the income is good, and it is a major local business card."

"The government has tasted the benefits and started preparing for a celadon museum last year. It is a higher-level museum with technical support from the Forbidden City. It is preparing to open to the outside world at the end of the year, so it is collecting fine masterpieces from the private sector as the first batch of exhibits."

Su Yuan's eyes lit up, someone gave him a pillow when he was sleepy, and said with satisfaction: "This is a good idea, it must be easy to be selected with your old qualifications, right?"

Mao Zhengcong waved his hand and said seriously: "There are many private experts, and this is an open selection. All judges invite experts from the Guozitou Museum to sit here, especially the Forbidden City, which specially sends experts to check."

"It's not just me, Lao Xu, Lao Chen, Lao Li, basically all porcelain makers with names and surnames will participate. They will present their best works in the competition. The culture of celadon is extensive and profound, and there are only twenty or thirty kinds of categories. Are you sure you have a chance of winning?"
