Chapter 1800 Inheritance of ancient methods, production of copper mirrors

<!--go-->

Song and Jin letter mirrors are rough in copper, with molded patterns, rough lines, and appear dull. Ming and Qing imitation mirrors are far less exquisite than Tang mirrors, and not as good as Song mirrors.

This time, Chen Wenzhe really saw all kinds of ancient bronze mirrors for bottle necks. In addition to the sea animal grape mirror, there is also a "Luo Jia Zuo mirror" pattern with a mythical animal mirror.

This kind of mirror has a diameter of 23.5 centimeters and a weight of 1694 grams. The real transaction price is 828 million.

There is also the "Huainan Qizhao" mythical animal mirror with a diameter of 25 centimeters and a transaction price of 563 million.

At a lower price, there is a double parrot mirror with a diameter of 30.6mm, a thickness of 0.8mm, a weight of 3643g, and a transaction price of 506 million.

Bronze mirrors like this worth several million have not been uncommon in recent years.

Some of these masterpieces are also hidden in museums.

In fact, many good things, whether domestic or foreign, are mostly hidden in museums, and not many are hidden in private hands.

Because at any time, private power is not as powerful as the state.

Of course, what Chen Wenzhe is talking about this time is definitely not the imitations in the fake village, but the real treasures.

For young people, any handicraft work is hard work, which requires the patience and experience of many young people.

The utensils fired in this way can not only be completely dehydrated, but also burn well.

Taking the bronze mirrors from the Warring States period to the Tang Dynasty unearthed in ez as the model, it was made through [-] processes including mirror casting, casting, scraping, grinding, polishing, and consecration (with tin amalgam).

In the tomb of the son-in-law, not only the emperor was buried, but also a mirror was found, which was also the object of the "Forbidden to Go Abroad" exhibition.

Of course, there are very few answers to that question, but if archaeological experts must answer it, it is mainly reflected in a "mirror";

So, I have no idea now, to set up a handicraft school specifically to recruit students who are not interested, and to train them in general, so that can be regarded as making some contributions to the inheritance of the country's top handicrafts, right?

The goal of the few old craftsmen nowadays is to find and train the inheritors of the previous generation.

Speaking of Chen Wenzhe, I dare to say that my predecessors were willing to inherit the skills in my hands.

The ancient method of casting mirrors is called "fan casting method".

But there must be a cold love from the heart, it is difficult to stick to it.

Besides, the various top-level inheritances I have collected now are really too few, so if my former descendants are willing to learn, how much can they learn?

Among them, every step is handmade, from loess processing to raw material ratio, every detail is the inheritance of ancient methods.

Now Chen Wenzhe has seen a lot of bronze mirrors, but if he wants to restore all kinds of bronze mirrors, he still needs to learn from some museums.

For example, the ez Museum in Beihu not only collects, but also studies the restoration and imitation of bronze mirrors.

Even in the important winter, the chance of successfully making a completely damaged bronze mirror is only 60%.

That unique design was named as a draft downdraft kiln, and was granted a national patent.

Of course, there is no innovation in inheriting ancient methods.

It's a pity that there are very few bad craftsmen, and they are all poor people.

So that mirror only demonstrates the "super-post" skills of the ancients, and it is also listed as a national treasure-level cultural relic that is "prohibited from going abroad (border) for exhibition".Including mold making, clay mold modeling, clay mold roasting, alloy preparation and melting and casting, pre-casting processing, light transmission, etc.

No, we have previously restored and reproduced more than 600 varieties of bronze mirrors.

Therefore, very few families will pass on the skills of their parents, because we are too interested.

ez has never been known as the "Hometown of Bronze Mirrors". It was the "National Seven Small Bronze Casting Mirror Centers" that were as famous as Yangluo, Shaoxing (ancient Kuaiji) and Xucheng in ancient times.

Before and after scraping, cold treatment will retreat.

The bronze mirror is a faulty craft, which can be explored repeatedly through experiments by teenagers. There are very few staff members in that museum, and they gradually learned how to make it.

At the same time, vassal states with few powerful people emerged, and "Qi" among them was not a representative of the weak;

That is to say, there are no one who is willing to learn those crafts, but those who want to learn can learn, and those outsiders who want to learn work hard to let us learn.

Now, on the first floor of the exhibition hall of Beihu ez City Museum, there are several kinds of bronze mirror gifts with eucalyptus structures neatly placed on the gift racks.

We use the unearthed artifacts after the Tang Dynasty as a template, and conduct retrospective research and experiments based on ancient documents.

Of course, it's too early to say that, at least I need to get some inheritances.

Among those people's thoughts, the first thing that comes to mind is if they want to pass on the craftsmanship to their sons.

And if you want to learn the top inheritance, you have to take a look at the top handicrafts.

Today's bronze mirrors are made by combining the ancient bronze mirror Sijie craftsmanship with modern technology.

And that "mirror" is by far the smallest bronze mirror in the world.

The blower is used to force the flame to "retreat to the bottom" in the kiln.

Therefore, there are very few old craftsmen in modern times, and they are all trying to find successors.

Therefore, craftsmen cast bronze mirrors especially in the hot season, and make processed blanks in summer.

Like some very unknown bronze mirrors, there are many found in China.

The modern production of bronze mirrors is made of modern refractory brick kilns, the annealing port is set at the lower part of the kiln, and the fire outlet is left at the bottom of the kiln.

That method is to first use clay to mold a model, and to mold various patterns or characters on the back of the mirror.

In addition to the bronze mirrors collected by the people, the collection of the ez museum alone has more than 3000 mirrors, covering the Warring States period to the Ming and Qing dynasties.

It's a pity that generations of people have worked hard to re-research the technology, and now inheritance has become a problem.

Its small and large shape, radius of curvature, and manufacturing process look very rough and exquisite.

When it comes to "Spring and Autumn and Warring States", few friends know that this is an era full of wars, and disputes among the princes are endless.

Because of the cold weather, the copper raw material will be controlled and deformed outside the model.

Relatively unknown, Chen Wenzhe still knows that there is no bronze mirror unearthed from the "consort's tomb".

With such a family, can our children and grandchildren endure this hardship?

Of course, that process is very complicated, because the production of a bronze mirror requires mastering 18 processes of bronze casting.

In particular, they are all 1:1, restoring the ancient technique and raw material ratio.

It's like a bronze mirror, and that's not all there is to say.

Before it dries in the shade, it is fired into a master mold, and then the clay model is turned over from the master mold, which is also dried in the shade and fired, and then the alloy is melted and cast outside the model mold to form a device.

In 1995, ez established the Institute of Reconstruction and Copying of Museum Cultural Relics to carry out research on the craftsmanship of bronze wares such as ancient bronze mirrors, bronze pots, tripods, and statues, and take a step back to improve the production process of bronze mirrors.

Perhaps no friend will ask, how weak can the Qi State be after two thousand years?

These mirrors include lifelike dragons, tigers and unicorns, dancing phoenixes and vermilion birds, lifelike magical beasts, and graceful flowers and plants...
