Master descends to earth

Chapter 167
"Mr. Xu, Longquan really deserves to be the hometown of celadon. There are outstanding people and masters like clouds!"

Looking at dozens of booths and hundreds of celadon craftsmen, Lu Chenglong couldn't help sighing: "This time I am honored to be invited to participate in the selection. It is really worthwhile to see such a vibrant scene with my own eyes."

Xu Fuxing laughed loudly after hearing this, and proudly said: "Then you can help us hold the eye. The museum is a kind of honor to all Longquan craftsmen. Rather lack than excess, discard the false and preserve the true."

Several experts behind Lu Chenglong also nodded in approval, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. Although they are judges this time, many contestants are familiar with them. There are very few famous masters in the celadon circle, and everyone is friends.

Besides, a museum needs at least a few hundred exhibits, and there are more than 20 types of celadon. As long as it has characteristics, it can basically be selected. There is not much competition, and everyone knows the basics, so there is not enough gunpowder.

Xu Fuxing, as the most well-known national master craftsman, is already a signboard of celadon, and his works are naturally selected.Ten most representative monochromatic glazes were quickly selected, and after being recorded in the record, they followed Lv Chenglong to patrol together, as a landlord.

"Huh? Is he really here?"

Suddenly Xu Fuxing's eyes lit up, seeing Su Yuan not far away, he smiled lightly and said, "What a Su Yuan, a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers!"

Lu Chenglong was taken aback, looked up at the young man in his early twenties, and asked curiously: "Old Xu, is that your junior?"

Xu Fuxing waved his hand, and hurriedly said: "Don't dare to be, absolutely don't dare to be, I really want to have such a promising junior!"

Seeing that Lu Chenglong was getting more and more confused, he smiled and explained: "At any rate, you are also an expert in the Forbidden City. Haven't you heard that there is a news about the youngest national craftsman in history?"

"What?" Lu Chenglong was taken aback, and with an idea, he blurted out: "Could it be that he is the legendary Longquan swordsmith...Su Yuan?"

As soon as these words came out, several experts behind them looked at each other in blank dismay, and once again locked their eyes on the young man not far away, they began to discuss.

"Sure enough, a hero is born from ancient times!" Lu Chenglong carefully looked at Su Yuan who was calm and calm, and said in puzzlement: "His name is so famous, but why did he appear here..."

Xu Fuxing waved his hands and joked, "Don't look at him as a master of sword casting, but he can play with porcelain as a child's skill. I just won the Longquan drawing champion last month, and I feel ashamed to play with thin tires and old hair!"

After hearing this, Lu Chenglong's face changed, and he said in disbelief: "No way? Mr. Mao may not be as good as..."

"Why is it impossible!"

Suddenly there was a voice behind him, and when he looked back, it was Mao Zhengcong. He walked up to the crowd and said with a smile, "Old Xu is right, now Longquan's drawing record has been refreshed, two kilograms of clay and nineteen bowls, that is Master Su's masterpiece."

"This……"

Lu Chenglong and several experts looked at each other, not knowing what to say, who are Xu Fuxing and Mao Zhengcong?A dignified state-level porcelain master, whose works can be selected into the Great Hall of the People, has peaches and plums all over the world, but has never seen a young man praised?

Xu Fuxing and Mao Zhengcong looked at each other and smiled, Mao Zhengcong said loudly: "You don't believe it? What you hear is believing what you see is believing. Let's go and see together!"

After speaking, he was the first to take the lead, and went straight to Su Yuan.Xu Fuxing smiled slightly, and followed, followed by others, especially a few experts from the Forbidden City, who were extremely curious, what is so special about the legendary youngest craftsman?
"Are you really here?"

Su Yuan had seen a group of people coming straight towards him, stepped forward to meet Mao Zhengcong, and said with a smile, "How could Su miss such a grand event in Longquan?"

Mao Zhengcong nodded, turned around and introduced: "These are experts from the Forbidden City, especially Lu Chenglong, Mr. Geng's in-house disciple, who has won the true biography of a master, and has a glance!"

Lu Chenglong took a few steps forward and offered to extend his hand. Although Su Yuan is only in his early twenties, he is an upright national craftsman and an honorary consultant of the Forbidden City's weapons. He must not be neglected.

Su Yuan held each other's hand, exchanged a few greetings, and it was regarded as a formal acquaintance. When Mao Zhengcong walked to the booth, his eyes were instantly attracted by Linglong Porcelain, and he was stunned, speechless.

"This is……"

Xu Fuxing who was beside him also came up, saw the vase at first glance, was taken aback, picked it up carefully, and said in shock, "Mei Ziqing!"

"There is still Ge Kiln?" Lu Chenglong was also attracted by the work in front of him, and he didn't care about other things. He hurried forward, looked at the bottle of Shuang Er Ge Kiln, his whole body was shocked, he took out the magnifying glass, and studied it carefully.

Su Yuan smiled without saying a word, took a few steps back, and let a few experts start to study. Soon all the exhibits were surrounded by people, and the scene was silent for a while, and everyone was deeply shocked.

"Linglong Porcelain..."

"It's really the long-lost exquisite porcelain!"

Mao Zhengcong's face was flushed with excitement, his hands trembled slightly and he said, "As thin as a cicada's wings...exquisitely carved...it's really a rare treasure!"

"Nine autumn winds exposed the kiln, and won the emerald green of the thousand peaks!"

Xu Fuxing next to him was also shocked, holding a plum green vase, excitedly said: "After the rain, the sky is clear, when the plums are sour and green...exquisite!"

Su Yuan showed a smile on his face, Mao Zhengcong had played with thin bodies all his life, Xu Fuxing was even known as a master of celadon, and he could understand the mystery of it best.

Playing with workers in the Northern Song Dynasty and glaze in the Southern Song Dynasty!
But the most excited ones were not the two old men, but Lu Chenglong, holding the amphora, his eyes were fascinated, and he muttered to himself: "It's a hundred rubbish...it's really a hundred rubbish!"

"There is no sign of a second opening, the lines are natural and natural..."

"Never seen before... never seen before!"

Turning around abruptly, staring at Su Yuan, he asked, "Is this really your work?"

Su Yuan nodded with a smile, Lu Chenglong took a deep breath, and suppressed his excitement and said: "Many utensils crack as soon as they come out of the kiln. It is caused by technical defects that are difficult to control. It’s all formed naturally.”

"Especially Ge Kiln, there is also the phenomenon of secondary cracking. As the years change, cracks continue to appear on the glaze surface. Under the influence of factors such as air, moisture, and temperature, especially those that were once buried in the soil and submerged in water The ceramic tiles, glaze corrosion, aging, more prone to cracks."

"The opening position is usually where the body glaze is not tightly bonded and relatively loose. The part where the body glaze is tightly bonded can withstand the test of time..."

"Especially the glazed surface, which is most susceptible to the impact of chipping. If the body glaze is not up to the standard, the hand feel will inevitably be poor, and it will not be possible to form a perfect glaze..."

After speaking, he raised his hands and exclaimed: "This amphora has no signs of a second opening. It is as ice-like as jade, extremely warm and moist. It is simply...unbelievable!"
