Chapter 1220 The Root of Porcelain

The use of kaolin made a leap in the quality of ceramic products, and greatly promoted the progress of porcelain raw materials and techniques in Eurasia, and even the world.

Porcelain making in Jingzhen has a history of more than a thousand years. In fact, kaolin has been mined for more than 1700 years.

But now in Gaoling Village, there are no more porcelain clay resources.

However, after more than 1000 years of mining, the kaolin in Gaoling Village has also been mined out.

All that remains are abandoned mine pits, and around this area, weathered muscovite granite is widely distributed, producing sandy kaolin.

It was because of such high-quality porcelain clay resources that Jingzhen, the world-famous porcelain capital, was created.

And now there is no kaolin, so Jingzhen is not the city of porcelain?

No, because the background of the Porcelain Capital determines that it will always be the Porcelain Capital in the future.

However, as one of the most important resources in porcelain making, the depletion of kaolin resources has become an inevitable foregone conclusion.

As one of the important raw materials for making porcelain bodies, kaolin is closely related to the quality of porcelain and the fate of the porcelain manufacturing industry.

The kaolin in Jingzhen is a high-quality kaolin ore with extremely pure texture. Because of its extremely low iron content, it is the best raw material for preparing high-grade fine porcelain bodies and glazes.

The use of kaolin at that time was a major revolution in the history of porcelain making in my country and the world.

The color of the kaolin body is white and clean, and the porcelain body has high refractoriness.

As a result, ceramics have become the representative of hard porcelain. The acid and alkali resistance and hardness of ceramics are much higher than those of ceramics from other origins.

It is also because of these reasons that there is a saying that "ceramics are not old or broken".

In fact, besides Jingzhen, there are also many places where kaolin resources exist, but none of them are as good as in Kaolin.

According to the current consumption of china clay, in another 20 years, there will be a shortage of china clay resources in many places.

No matter how you look at it, it is an indisputable fact that China clay resources are facing depletion.

Kaolin is the same as coal. The rock minerals have been weathered for a long time to form kaolin, which has a history of at least tens of thousands of years.

And now there are not many kaolin, so please cherish every piece of crafted beautiful porcelain!

Of course, these are still far away from Chen Wenzhe. The reason why he is researching kaolin resources is mainly because he wants to find some suitable ancient mining sites.

There must be many ruins of ancient kaolin mines in Jingzhen, such as the ruins of ancient kaolin mines in Gaoling Village, Fuliang, located in the northeast of the city.

It is the source of the world's porcelain clay and the root of porcelain.

Jingzhen Gaoling National Mine Park, centered on the ancient mine, contains a long history of ceramic culture and is now a national key cultural relic protection unit.

This ancient kaoling mine began to be excavated in the Song Dynasty, and the mining was most prosperous from the mid-Ming Dynasty to the mid-Qing Dynasty, and lasted until the 20s.

Hundreds of years of large-scale kaolin mining have left a large number of historical and cultural relics and cultural relics.

The ancient mine pits of Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties and tailings of millions of tons, as well as ancient washing ponds, ancient ore transportation roads and other ancient relics have been preserved to this day.

This fully reflects the complete system of mining, selection, transportation and sales at that time.

The local people call it "green mountains floating with white snow" and "jade belts around green mountains".

Of course, these are not important at all. What is important is that in the Gaoling ancient mine site, there are thick tailings all over the mountain.

Tailings refers to the remaining sand left by miners washing porcelain clay, which contains crystal bright muscovite, which will shine brightly in the sun.

According to repeated investigations and calculations, in the four mining areas of Gaoling Mountain, the tailings accumulation area is about 16 square meters, with a total volume of more than 750 million tons.

The minimum accumulation thickness is 5 meters, and the maximum is nearly 30 meters.

This spectacular tailings accumulation layer has witnessed the prosperity of kaolin mining in that year.

During the Ming and Qing dynasties, kaolin was transported from the wharf at the foot of the mountain to Jingzhen for use in the porcelain industry, and Jingzhen porcelain became a world trade treasure sold overseas.

Continuous porcelain production, day and night for kaolin miners.

After 1965, the china clay mine in Gaolingshan ceased production after hundreds of years of mining.

Today, there is no more kaolin in the ancient Gaoling mine, and the tailings are covered with vegetation, leaving only some excavation relics for people to pay tribute to.

As the capital of porcelain, Jingzhen has experienced vicissitudes and vicissitudes, in the long history of thousands of years.

It has never changed its appearance, and has always maintained its own style.

The former kaolin mine in Jingzhen has now safely returned to the embrace of green mountains and green waters.

However, its long-standing porcelain culture and craftsmanship make it a firm winner of the "Porcelain Capital" throne.

We also have to think about how to use limited resources to promote ceramic culture infinitely and achieve sustainable development!

It can be said that the premature development of kaolin gave us a first-mover advantage.

However, this also depleted many of our high-quality resources in the first place.

This is also one of the reasons why the porcelain industry in other parts of the world has risen later.

In the [-]th century, the foreign porcelain industry developed rapidly.

Even now, because of large-scale and high-tech production, some foreign porcelain manufacturers even think that they have surpassed China.

However, on this point, Chinese people have never admitted it.

In Chen Wenzhe's view, there is the power of technology, but more of the power of capital, and they can boast, that is, they can advertise.

Coupled with the domestic admiration and fawning thinking in recent decades, they have gained a place in the domestic market.

Others, there is really nothing to say.

Not much to say, let's go back to Yuan blue and white and binary formula.

The resources of Gaoling Mountain and Macang Mountain are almost exhausted.

However, through the research just now, we can see that no matter what kind of ore it is, there are some tailings during mining.

Chen Wenzhe is paying attention to this part of the tailings mine. Of course, if he does this, he will definitely not get much kaolin, but he will always be able to get some.

And this doesn't need Chen Wenzhe to deal with it in the past, as long as he pays, there are plenty of enterprises in the local area to help him get everything he wants.

However, the quantity is definitely not much, and the cost will be high.

However, if you want to refire the real Yuan Qinghua, it is really necessary to study those tailings.

Of course, the kaolin obtained in this way is definitely not enough.

Don’t worry about that, besides Gaoling Mountain and Macang Mountain, there must be other kaolin resources near Jingzhen!

Therefore, Chen Wenzhe just wanted to study the ancient mines of kaolin.

In the end, he still needs to find a way to process these kaolin according to the production process of Yuan Qinghua.

If kaolin can be used to transform special Macang soil, then only Yuanqinghua can be refired.

"It seems that this time, we are going to take the boutique route."

Due to the long preparation time, Chen Wenzhe already had some ancient kaolin in his hands.

However, this kind of kaolin is definitely not Ma Cang soil.

However, the various elements contained in them are not much different.

At this time, Chen Wenzhe could only rely on the pure Yuan blue and white production process, and first deal with these porcelain clays.
