My system is not decent

Several kinds of classic green-glazed porcelain were thoroughly researched by Chen Wenzhe, and it was easier to make afterwards.

At the beginning, Chen Wenzhe couldn't guarantee that he would be able to directly fire top famous porcelains such as apple green glaze and Lang kiln green glaze.

Therefore, he started from the basics, and the first porcelain imitated a three-color high-footed bowl with sea-wrapped branches and lotus patterns from the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty.

One of the three colors is green glaze, and it is very likely that a melon rind green will be fired in the end. You can tell if it is OK after firing it once.

Then, Chen Wenzhe imitated a plain three-color seawater toad pattern wash from the Zhengde imperial kiln of the Ming Dynasty.

Plain three-color porcelain, in principle, refers to porcelain that contains three or more low-temperature glaze colors, but does not contain or contains a very small amount of red color.

Because in traditional Chinese culture, red represents festiveness and belongs to the color of meat, and other colors do not contain red colored porcelain, which is called plain three colors.

The three here means many, not necessarily three colors.

Plain three-color porcelain is developed from the image of low-temperature lead-glazed pottery since the Western Han Dynasty, and from the miscellaneous glaze porcelain without red color fired by Jingyao in the early Ming Dynasty.

It was created in the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty. Since then, it has experienced three important development stages: the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty, the Jiajing Longqing Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, and the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty.

Zhengde Chaosu three-color porcelain has harmonious color matching and elegant colors, giving people a soft and pleasing aesthetic feeling.

"feel good!"

After painting and drying for a while, Chen Wenzhe seemed to see two pieces of porcelain that had been successfully fired.

A tall bowl, a brush washer, the shape of the utensils is very simple, and the color is not too complicated.

This kind of porcelain has been fired too much by Chen Wenzhe in the inheritance, and now it is just a change of some raw materials, hoping to get the best results!

"Imitate another piece of pure green-glazed porcelain, and make a white-ground green-colored cloud-dragon plate."

Glancing at the workbench next to him, most of the utensils that Zhang Gu had made were made of dishes.

He uses these embryos, so he doesn't have to pull the embryos to make them himself, and the most important thing is that he doesn't need to delay time to dry them.

This time Chen Wenzhe imitated a Ming Hongzhi dish with blue and white edging and green colored clouds and dragon patterns on a white ground.

This plate with blue and white edging and green cloud and dragon patterns on white ground is 4cm high, 20.8cm in diameter, and 13cm in foot diameter.

This one has a curled mouth, a shallow arc belly, and ring feet.

Both the inner and outer walls of the foot are obliquely trimmed with a knife, and the foot end is relatively thin.

Two blue and white double string lines are drawn on the inner wall near the mouth and on the inner bottom.

Both the inner bottom and the outer wall are painted with cloud and dragon patterns, outlined with black lines and filled with green color.

The outer wall is underglazed with entangling lotus patterns and deformed lotus petal patterns.

The lower edge of the mouth is decorated with blue and white strings and flower patterns. There are 4 blue and white strings on the outer wall of the ring foot, and the inside of the ring foot is glazed with green and white glaze, without identification.

Feeling that there should be no problem, Chen Wenzhe used the embryo bowl made by Zhang Gu, and put a layer of peacock green glaze on it.

He has fired peacock green glazed bowls and dishes before, with some successes and some failures, and now he is very sure.

So, this time he imitated another famous product.

The decoration and shape of this peacock green glazed bowl are all characteristics of the Hongzhi period of the Ming Dynasty, and the authentic treasure is in the collection of the Palace Museum.

If this peacock green glazed bowl is to be fired successfully, it must be glazed on the astringent body that has been fired at a high temperature, and then re-fired in a kiln under an oxidizing atmosphere. The glaze firing temperature is about 1200 degrees.

Before firing this kind of fine malachite green glazed porcelain, the randomness was too great, and it was difficult to fire it successfully in one go.

But now it is different. Now that Chen Wenzhe wants to increase his success rate, he needs some skills.

Technology is not based on craftsmanship and formula, but on kiln technology.

If he hadn't seen the firing process of the piece of broken porcelain sent by Wu San, Chen Wenzhe would have never thought of it.

When Jingzhen fired malachite green glazed porcelain, the glazed body was placed at the root of the chimney behind the kiln, where the temperature was just in line with the firing temperature of malachite green glazed porcelain.

This kind of skill can only be concluded through long-term practice and countless times of firing. By coincidence, it is found that the malachite green glazed porcelain placed at the root of the chimney behind the kiln has been fired successfully every time. This little trick.

Although the technique is not difficult, it can be said to be a layer of paper, anyone can pierce it.

However, who would have thought of such a little trick before it happened to be discovered?

What's even more coincidental is kiln transformation, kiln transformation porcelain, which is never something you can get if you want it.

We must know that changing the glaze in the kiln is not something that can be done by manpower, and it is even more difficult for the color after the kiln to fascinate the world.

Therefore, the kiln-change glaze has always been praised as the unparalleled kiln-change glaze.

The so-called kiln-changing glaze refers to the unexpected glaze color effect that cannot be controlled by human beings due to the glaze formula and other reasons during the firing process of the utensils.

The change of the kiln glaze is unpredictable and unique, so there is also a saying that "the kiln is unparalleled".

The ancient book "Barnyard History Compilation" records: "Porcelain has the same quality, then becomes a different quality, and the same color, then becomes a different color, the combination of water and soil, which cannot be added by human coincidence, is called kiln transformation."

The kiln-changing glaze is due to the fact that the kiln contains a variety of color elements. After oxidation or reduction, the porcelain may show unexpected glaze color effects after it comes out of the kiln.

In ancient times, the appearance of kiln glaze was not controlled by humans, but was the result of accidental firing.

The shape of kiln-changed glazed porcelain is very special, and the glaze color is very beautiful, but the ancients at that time did not have solid scientific theoretical knowledge.

Therefore, I don't know the real principle of its formation, but I only have a general understanding that it is due to changes in the roasting process in the kiln.

The ancients didn't have a better name, so they called it "kiln glaze".

The biggest difference between modern people and ancient people is that they can trace the principle, so that people can understand why this change occurs.

That is to say, through scientific means, it is possible to find out the reason for the change of kiln glaze.

If the reasons for these kiln changes can be clarified, not only can a red kiln change be fired, but also a blue glaze kiln change can be imagined.

You must know that the earliest kiln changes have already appeared on some blue-glazed porcelains before the Tang Dynasty.

The Jun kiln glaze of the Song Dynasty in my country is the earliest known kiln glaze.

The glaze colors of these kiln changes range from deep to light, or from red to purple, or from purple to blue, which are unpredictable and unpredictable.

Langyaohong in the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, due to kiln changes, there will be Langyao green and Fanlangyao;

Cowpea red will form apple green and apple green due to kiln transformation.

During the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, kiln variable glazes also appeared, which are very beautiful and dazzling.

But the original kiln glazed porcelain was not accepted by the ancients.

Especially the royal nobles believed that the appearance of kiln changes meant that it was not auspicious.

Therefore, many beautiful utensils were smashed directly.

However, with the development and progress of the times, the ancients gradually deepened their knowledge and understanding of kiln glazes, and later ancients loved this unique glaze color of porcelain even more.

Especially during the Kangxi and Qianlong periods of the Qing Dynasty, kiln-changing glaze was regarded as auspicious by the royal family, and even official kilns specialized in producing this kind of colored glaze porcelain.
