My system is not decent

Folk kilns can use high-quality kaolin known as "royal soil" and "official soil" to fire porcelain, which proves that the government at that time had banned the use of "royal soil" for export.

For the archaeology of porcelain in our country, this is the best discovery.

The blue and white porcelain of the Kang and Yong periods is the pinnacle of Chinese porcelain art.

Especially Jingzhen porcelain, there is a saying that "there is no blue and white porcelain outside Jingzhen", which proves the supremacy of Jingzhen blue and white porcelain.

Of course, it is gratifying to have exquisite cultural relics, but how to protect these water-exposed porcelains is a headache.

Compared with cultural relics made of metal, bamboo and wood, etc., the protection of porcelain is much easier.

However, porcelain that has been soaked in seawater for more than 300 years is also facing various dangers.

So, instead of digging it out, it's over, and then it needs maintenance.

According to the procedure, every time a basket of porcelain is salvaged, the team members will immediately soak it in fresh water to desalinize the cultural relics.

This is a seemingly simple job, but it is difficult to do the best job.

Fortunately, Chen Wenzhe is knowledgeable, under his guidance, all the work is carried out in an orderly manner.

Otherwise, a large number of well-preserved, very beautiful, and very valuable ancient porcelains were unearthed, but due to incomprehensible maintenance, the glaze soon peeled off and became dilapidated. Wouldn't that be a pity?

On the surface of these porcelains, the porcelain is as clean as new, and it seems that it has not been corroded.

In fact, the salt will always penetrate into the porcelain, and even pass through the glaze and enter the porcelain body.

To achieve complete desalination, these porcelains need to be soaked in fresh water for several months, a process that seems difficult to achieve.

Given the quantity of porcelain, where to find such a large pool at sea, especially on ships, is already a problem.

If the desalination is not clean, the porcelain will gradually be damaged.

For example, in the cultural relics of the famous "Nanhai No. [-]" shipwreck, there are already some porcelains that have a raised glaze layer due to the leakage of salt.

After the salvage was over, Chen Wenzhe sorted out the whole salvage process.

The sea area where the shipwreck site is located has a water depth of 13-15 meters, and the seabed is sandy and muddy.

This ship is a medium-sized sea-going ship in the middle period of Kangxi, with a residual length of 13.5 meters, a residual width of 3 meters, and a residual height of 1 meter.

From this, it can be inferred that the ship was originally 18-20 meters long and 5 meters wide.

There are 16 cabins remaining on this ship, but most of the bulkheads are damaged.

Except for the narrower three cabins at the eastern bow, the width is 30-60 cm, and the width of other cabins is generally 90 cm.

Only the east sixth cabin is slightly wider at 134 cm, and the west fourth cabin is the widest at 178 cm.

To the southwest of the ship, a log was found with an exposed length of 250 cm, a circumference of 77 cm, a width of 22 cm and a height of 26 cm.

The section is in a "convex" shape, which can basically be defined as a keel.

Through these details, Chen Wenzhe can trace back the entire process of the ship from the beginning of its construction to its sinking.

A lot of important information is traced back through some important parts of the entire ship.

During this process, he got a lot of information, especially since the ship was launched, it often ran off the course.

As long as you know the route of the ancient Maritime Silk Road in the South Pacific, and based on the weather and water patterns over the past dynasties, combined with some dangerous sea areas around the route, it is really not difficult to find some sunken ships.

This is also Chen Wenzhe's biggest achievement in salvaging the sunken ship this time.

In addition to these possible harvests, the harvests that can be seen are those porcelains.

After more than 50 days of rescue excavation, Chen Wenzhe and others salvaged more than 1200 pieces of porcelain produced in Jingzhen during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty.

This batch of porcelain is mainly blue-and-white wares, with a small amount of blue-and-white underglaze red, blue-and-white glaze, imitation Ge glaze porcelain and multicolored wares.

Most of these porcelains are neatly made and come in many shapes.

There are mainly general jars, covered jars, phoenix-tailed statues, tube bottles, tube flower goblets, stoves, plates, dishes, bowls, cups, cups, stem cups, small bottles, gourd bottles, powder boxes, etc.

Due to the good preservation methods, and when the ship sank, the entire storage compartment was just torn apart.

All these large wooden boxes for storing porcelain were thrown out and scattered and buried in the seabed, so that this batch of porcelain was well preserved.

Of course, those porcelains that were not buried in the sea were either destroyed by sea water or salvaged by others, and they did not fall into Chen Wenzhe's hands.

Therefore, all the porcelain he salvaged were well-preserved, especially the glaze was as good as new.

This made it easier for Chen Wenzhe to identify this batch of porcelain.

Apart from other things, just looking at the decorations, you can know that this batch of porcelain is not simple.

This batch of porcelain is very rich in decoration and has a wide range of themes, including landscapes, figures, flowers and birds, ancient and miscellaneous treasures, and auspicious characters.

Judging from the shape and decoration of this batch of porcelain, some of them have an exotic style and can be determined as export products.

The themes of blue and white patterns and patterns are rich and varied, including most of the traditional decorative patterns on porcelain.

There are landscape buildings, such as distant mountains, near water, river views, pavilions, water pavilions, lake stones, etc.

There are also vegetation and flowers, such as pine, bamboo, plum, willow, chrysanthemum, lotus, orchid, peony, pomegranate, curly grass, zigzag flowers and so on.

There are other rare birds and animals, such as phoenix, crane, pheasant, bird, dragon, lion, deer, horse, sea beast, squirrel and so on.

Then there are furnishings and offerings, such as gossip, miscellaneous treasures, Bogu, Ruyi, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, etc.

Finally, there are character stories, such as baby play, Ju Cu, shooting and hunting, the West Chamber, Water Margin, Three Kingdoms, the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove, and the struggle between snipe and clam.

Of course, there are some relatively simple ones, such as auspicious characters (Fu, Shou) and so on.

Chen Wenzhe has never seen other porcelains. Anyway, judging from the situation of the porcelains he salvaged now, most of the blue and white porcelains from the shipwreck are neatly made and have smooth lines.

It can be said that the craftsmanship is strict and exquisite, and the surface of the carcass is neatly and smoothly treated without obvious turning marks.

The large ones are calm and dignified, while the small ones are light and elegant. The overall style shows simplicity, dignity and generosity.

Among them, the bright blue blue and white color is green and delicate, fresh and bright, which is the so-called "emerald blue" and "sapphire blue" in the appreciation circle;

Obviously, the Kangxi emerald hair blue figure bottle discovered by Chen Wenzhe before came from here.

Other blue and white flowers are not common. These blue and white flowers are divided into shades and shades of multi-color gradation, so that the scenery painted on blue and white porcelain on porcelain has a sense of distance, density, and clear layering, and a strong three-dimensional sense.

People praise Kangxi blue and white, it must be called "ink is divided into five colors", which means that with one kind of blue and white color material, it is possible to distinguish the yin and yang of things in the painting, the distance and the density, so that the picture is full of three-dimensionality.

This kind of blue-and-white painting changes the traditional monotonous painting style of blue-and-white painting in the Yuan and Ming dynasties, and makes the blue-and-white hair colors vary in shades, just like "ink is divided into five colors" in paintings.

Therefore, Kangxi blue and white has the saying that "color is divided into five colors" or "blue and white is divided into five colors".

In fact, the reason why Kangxi blue and white can "separate ink into five colors" is largely due to the Yunnan "pearl material" used in blue and white in the middle of Kangxi.
