My system is not decent

After the clay figurines are shaped, they should be placed in a cool place for three months to dry naturally.

After that, it is fired at a high temperature of 700 degrees, and the cracks are repaired by grinding. This process will take another half a year.

Finally, it is colored with natural mineral pigments.

Trapped in inheritance, Chen Wenzhe once again enjoyed the joy of immersive experience.

This time, he is just making clay figurines non-stop, which is different from his creation.

If we say that Chen Wenzhe's previous works are extraordinary and refined, they are tall and high, and they are the ultimate upper class.

Then what the clay figurine made is not mud, but the fireworks of ordinary life!

What Chen Wenzhe pursued was high-end official kiln technology and official kiln porcelain, while Clay Figurine Zhang pursued small people in the market.

Clay figurine Zhang Caisu was born in the market, so most of them are based on the life of ordinary people.

His works are exquisite with a unique pyrotechnic atmosphere.

The faces of the clay sculptures have real people as references.

If you go around the family exhibition hall in Jincheng, you might recognize Uncle Wang at the pancake stand downstairs.

When he came back to his senses, all the technologies that could be absorbed had been absorbed.

The reason why he is so fast must be because his current technology has fully reached the master level.

The technical level is similar to the inheritance obtained this time.

Between masters and masters, if they learn from each other, it is actually just a matter of one sentence.

What's more, Chen Wenzhe was immersed in it and made a lot of clay figurines by himself.

At this time, when he looked at Xizhi's love goose again, he already understood how the goose was made, what kind of mud was used, where the goose was best obtained, how it was refined, what things were added, and how old it was.

Yes, this puree, also needs to be stale.

Only after being aged for three years, they are fired in the kiln. At this time, the clay figurines fired at this time can be re-fired with colorful colors, so that they can last forever.

Although this Xizhi Love Goose is not the work of clay figurine Zhang, it is also the work of one of his sons, and the craftsmanship is good.

It's just that this one should be the work of a young man from the second generation, so the craftsmanship is still a bit trendy, otherwise it wouldn't be left outside.

Through this work, Chen Wenzhe also saw some other interesting pictures.

Clay figurine Zhang has good heirs for generations, and they have created many clay sculptures reflecting realistic themes. They have solidified life scenes that can be seen everywhere in each piece of work.

The sugar blower who was once bought by Xu Beihong is one of the 360-line series of clay sculptures made by Zhang Yuting, the second generation descendant of Clay Figurine Zhang.

The sugar blower in the work is squatting on the ground, blowing edible sugar art dolls.

Even the syrup and molds in the small basket are carved vividly.

When I saw that work, it was as if I could hear the happy laughter of children in my ears.

"What's wrong with you?" At some point, Li Jinli stood beside Chen Wenzhe.

Li Jinli dared to speak when he saw him start to play with a clay figurine in his hand.

Chen Wenzhe said without raising his head, "I met something good!"

"A good thing?" This time Li Jinli was really surprised. If you want to know the good things Chen Wenzhe said, it must be a real good thing.

"What? Just these clay figurines? I think I've seen them at a stall outside. It's nothing special, right?"

This time, Chen Wenzhe finally couldn't bear it, and looked up at Li Jinli.

"You are not a craftsman, otherwise, just because of this sentence, your master can break your leg!"

"So serious? The clay figurines over there were all brought from Jincheng. Clay figurine Zhang's things? Don't say that these are authentic clay figurine Zhang. You must know that those handed down items are all good things at the museum's collection level."

"There is enough information, but it's a pity that my eyesight is not good. This one is the work of the second-generation successor of Clay Figurine Zhang. It's a work made in his youth. It's not very good. But, what do you think of this one?"

Looking at Hai Zhangwu who seemed to be showing his teeth and claws, what else could Li Jinli think?

Surely it's good?But what's the good thing?

"Extremely expressive? Can you handle this person's temperament very well?"

Chen Wenzhe smiled: "I still have some good eyesight. This is the work of the real clay figurine Zhang, the protagonist of No. [-] High School."

"Is it genuine? You won't admit your mistake, will you?"

Chen Wenzhe couldn't help but rolled his eyes: "The craftsmanship can't be wrong. Most people don't have this kind of craftsmanship. They just play with mud. Can you make such a vivid figure?"

There is no common language with Li Jinli, Chen Wenzhe doesn't want to say more.

But Li Jinli really wanted to say something more: "Can you make this kind of clay figurine? The price is very high!"

"Even if I can make it, it's impossible to be an authentic clay figurine Zhang. I don't want to compete with other people's heirs!"

Chen Wenzhe is very clear about the clay figure Zhang after the founding of the People's Republic of China, or many old traditional craftsmen.

Not to mention other things, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Master Wang Yinchun still worked hard for the country!

Clay figurine Zhang Zhang's family is no exception, which has resulted in the real works of clay figurine Zhang, which are rarely seen in the market.

Chen Wenzhe is very aware of this, because he knows that the works of Clay Figurine Zhang are not only expensive now, but also expensive before.

There are rumors in the rivers and lakes that the works of "Clay Figurine Zhang Family" have been handed down for 200 years, and almost no Jincheng people have sold them.

This is not nonsense, nor is it a rumor, but there are real reasons.

"Clay Figurine Zhang's Family" has been around for almost 200 years since the Daoguang Year of the Qing Dynasty. It began with Mr. Zhang Mingshan and has been handed down from father to son for six generations until today, Mr. Zhang Yu.

This family workshop inherited from father to son is extremely rare in modern Chinese history.

However, the "clay figurine Zhang Shijia" established in Tianjin, for example, people in Tianjin are rarely able to buy his works, but why?

Because even at the end of the Qing Dynasty, his family's works were rare goods to live in.

There are two main reasons why people in Jincheng cannot buy his works.

Clay figurine Zhang's works were all given away in the early days.

Clay figurine Zhang's works after he became famous were all presented to friends, which is hard for modern people to imagine.

Like the typical "Portrait of Shopkeeper Peng", it is a shopkeeper of a rice noodle shop and a neighbor of Mr. Zhang. This is a gift.

What's more, you probably can't imagine that Mr. Zhang's main business is painting. He has sold paintings and calligraphy for a lot of money, but he has never sold clay figurines in Tianjin.

Furthermore, his works are expensive, and in history, there are very few recorded sales of his works.

Once, a prince invited him to Beijing to enter the mansion. This prince loved to work with many famous craftsmen from all over the world to learn all kinds of craftsmanship, and paid money to his hometown on a monthly basis, which made the Zhang family add property and buy properties.

But Mr. Zhang Mingshan didn't make many works in the palace.

Then the Minister of the German State entrusted the comprador to invite Mr. Zhang Mingshan to come to Beijing to make a statue of Li Hongzhang.

This time the payment was in silver, which was recorded as a total of six figures in silver.

At least 10 taels of silver. At that time, if one tael of silver was exchanged for 500 yuan now, it would be 5000 million!

Because of these two points, there are very few works by Zhang Mingshan in Jincheng.
