Recycled Porcelain [Ancient Wears Today]

"You must let me see the new work before handing it over to Wu Miao for him to participate in the exhibition." When seeing off at the airport, Jiang Xin seriously told Xu Jiuzhao.

Xu Jiuzhao also said seriously: "I will definitely wait for you to come back and see it before sending it away."

Jiang Xin smiled with satisfaction: "This is a work that will shine on the international stage. It would be a pity if I didn't see it with my own eyes but waited until the exhibition."

"Yes." Xu Jiuzhao shook Jiang Xin's hand, "I have to go."

Wu Miao was determined not to urge him, he rolled his eyes, Xu Jiuzhao had been saying this since just now, but Jiang Xin thought he would not let him go.

Hearing Guang Bo boarding the plane, Jiang Xin knew that it would be impossible not to let him go this time.

Jiang Xin's eyes looked at Xu Jiuzhao reluctantly, Xu Jiuzhao made him unable to move, and he didn't know why it was as inseparable as parting from life and death, obviously it was just that he returned to China first, and Ah Xin returned to China later .

Xu Jiuzhao sighed, he put his hand around Jiang Xin's neck, and hugged him.

The warm lips covered his own, and Jiang Xin's eyes widened in surprise. He didn't expect Xu Jiuzhao to kiss him in such a public place.

He didn't know how traditional and conservative Xu Jiuzhao was, but he refrained from asking him here because he estimated the other party.

Jiang Xin's body trembled with excitement, and his hands hugged Xu Jiuzhao's waist as if he had been waiting for a long time.

His arms are like iron cages, and Xu Jiuzhao is his restraint.Jiang Xin's tongue violently flipped and sucked in Xu Jiuzhao's mouth.

Wu Miao coughed deliberately: "Time is really running out."

Jiang Xin let go of her arms, and licked off the water stains that overflowed from the corners of Xu Jiuzhao's lips before he could swallow.He gasped and said, "I'll call you."

Xu Jiuzhao nodded, pushed him away, adjusted his clothes, turned around and walked into the boarding gate with Wu Miao.

This farewell is one month.

Not only to be busy with the rhyme, but also the plan for Zheng Kailong, which requires Jiang Xin to leave on purpose for a period of time, so as to create a certain illusion for Zheng Kailong.

A landline call every day, and Xu Jiuzhao devotes all his time to new works.

Although he has never used macang soil himself, Xu Jiuzhao also went to make porcelain when his "mentor" was ordered to burn porcelain in his previous life, and he knows how to mix and match this kind of soil to make it the best.

However, in this life, Zou Hengxin, in order to keep the closed disciples from being surprised, hurried ahead of him to make a lotus petal plate from that small ball of hemp warehouse soil, just to explore the way forward.

This made Xu Jiuzhao very moved.

Fortunately, Zou Hengxin had a detailed discussion with Xu Jiuzhao on the proportioning issue in the workshop of Feng Kiln. With Xu Jiuzhao's deliberate guidance, the final lotus petal dish was excellent in glaze, body porcelain, and glaze color.

With the teacher's encouragement and support, Xu Jiuzhao worked hard for two weeks to complete the mud.

"This is?" Gao Daquan heard that Xu Jiuzhao had finished, so he rushed to the workshop with Zou Hengxin to have a look.

During this time, in order to give Xu Jiuzhao enough space, Gao Daquan deliberately gave up the work room, and even Feng Zhongbao was ordered not to come over to disturb him.Every day, only Wu Jiuli accompanied him to and from get off work. When Xu Jiuzhao was working, Wu Jiuli was playing with his mobile phone boredly.

"Is this a screen?" Zou Hengxin identified the 45 cm long and 30 cm wide plain pottery plate.

Xu Jiuzhao nodded in compliment and said, "It's still teacher, you have sharp eyesight, you can tell it's an interstitial screen at a glance."

Zou Heng was delighted: "What kind of insight do I have?"

Xu Jiuzhao said with a smile: "Brother Jiuli said directly that this is a clay tablet."

Wu Jiuli said awkwardly, "It's just a clay tablet."

Feng Zhongbao also tilted his head and looked at it for a long time: "Isn't this just like woodblock printing, where a pattern is carved out on a board, and then the paper is pasted on it for a brush. Hey, and then an engraving picture comes out."

Gao Daquan rolled his eyes, and slapped him hard on the back of the head: "I slapped you in the face!!"

There were tears in the eye circles of Feng Zhongbao's beating, and he said aggrievedly: "But it's really similar."

Zou Hengxin was speechless, shook his head and said: "Inserted screens refer to inlaid decorative patterns on the frame. The earliest intersected screens were a kind of screen, which played the role of partition and decoration. Originally, the pattern and the frame were integrated. After the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Only then did the separation of the frame and the inlay appear. Later, the screen gradually evolved into a separate decoration, and the marble or the frame made of precious wood on the lower frame of the painted porcelain plate became a desk or a horizontal cabinet. landscape."

Xu Jiuzhao nodded and said, "That's right. It's just that the one I made is not just a decoration for a desk. My ultimate ideal is a decoration inlaid on a screen."

Zou Hengxin was stunned: "I said this size is a bit big." Zou Hengxin smiled: "However, it is too extravagant to use this porcelain plate carving made of hemp warehouse soil to make a screen."

Xu Jiuzhao said with a smile: "No matter how rich and expensive things are, they are still for use."

Gao Daquan said: "Xiao Xu, you can take it easy, this thing is not about practicality in the end."

Feng Zhongbao tilted his head to look at the carvings on the porcelain plate: "What's the pattern on it? Cityscape?"

"Yes." Xu Jiuzhao nodded and said, "I made four screens, which happened to be a set of screens. It describes the four seasons of the year, the vicissitudes of life."

Feng Zhongbao stared at it for a long time: "...This tower is not the tall tower in Shanghai, right? It doesn't look like it." He remembered that there was a round ball on the top of the Shanghai Pearl Tower, but this tower did not have one. ".

"This is the Eiffel Tower in Paris." Xu Jiuzhao pursed his lips, "When I first conceived, I really wanted to express the urban changes in Shanghai, but I thought that I would exhibit in France, and the theme should be more suitable for the situation there, so It was changed to Paris."

Zou Hengxin is a bit regretful that China's interstitial screen has a foreign city scene...

But there is no other way, why would I go to that international biennale?

Gao Daquan frowned and said, "This interstitial screen is well done, but will the foreign judges buy it?"

Just judging from the plain pottery plates that have not yet started firing, these four screens are exquisitely embossed, with harmonious composition, plain white as a whole, and no coloring.

Chinese judges who like simplicity and subtlety may praise it, but foreigners who like strong personality and outstanding avant-garde may not appreciate it.

Xu Jiuzhao deliberately said, "This is still a semi-finished product, and the final mystery will not be seen until it is burned."

Hearing that he was playing tricks like this, Feng Zhongbao's heart was filled with curiosity, and during the few days when he was sent to the kiln, he never left his footsteps, looking inside on tiptoe.He didn't even care about Master Shao's eyes that he thought he was in the way.

After leaving the kiln to cool down, Feng Zhongbao volunteered to remove the sagger.

Carefully remove the sagger, and the screen inside is exposed to everyone's sight.

Gao Daquan and Zou Hengxin were amazed when they first saw this interstitial screen.

Xu Jiuzhao didn't add any glaze paint on the glaze, it's just white glassy glaze.But I don't know how he adjusted the formula. At first glance, the screen does not smell like fireworks at all, and it doesn't look like it was just taken out of the kiln fire.

Feng Zhongbao placed the four screens one by one on the stand that Xu Jiuzhao had ordered in advance, and lined them up.

The four of them stood together and looked at the four screens placed on the workbench.

Even though it was born from his own hands, Xu Jiuzhao never thought that this screen could be so beautiful.

The theme of the four screens is the Seine River, and a river runs through the four screens, linking them together.After the beginning, the gentle river is surrounded by fertile fields, and the surroundings are thriving.Gradually transition to the farm family, the last two are the Eiffel Tower, and a scene of the bustling city of Paris.

Not to mention the theme content on the interstitial screen, just to say that the glaze color on the screen is as beautiful as real top-level white marble, so transparent, bright, moist and white!

Gao Quanquan and Zou Hengxin also said before that the glaze of good porcelain should be as smooth and white as jade.But that's just "Ruyu"!And this looks exactly like jade.

The two of them had no doubt that if this was sent to an exhibition, some people would definitely think it was jade.

"..." Zou Hengxin didn't know how to evaluate it for a while. Although the glaze color is as indistinguishable as real jade, and the patterns on the four screens are also exquisite and lifelike, Zou Hengxin has no confidence in impressing the judges at the Biennale with this style.

The style of Xu Jiuzhao's works is too traditional, although the themes he expresses are modern.

Knowing what they were thinking, Xu Jiuzhao said to Feng Zhongbao: "Close the window, block the window."

"Blocking the windows?" Feng Zhongbao was surprised.

Xu Jiuzhao nodded solemnly: "Only in the dark can you see the whole picture of these four screens."

so mysterious? !

Feng Zhongbao regained his energy immediately. He just closed the curtains, and brought over the black plastic covering cloth for covering the porcelain stones and sending firewood in rainy days, and blocked the windows and the transom on the door tightly. Immediately I couldn't see my fingers.

With a sound of "da", Xu Jiuzhao turned on the lamp on the workbench, and stood beside the table with the lamp in his hand, aiming the light at the four screens.

Then, an incredible sight appeared!

I saw that the city scenery and pastoral people on the surface of the screen are all gone!Instead, there is a completely primitive scenery, a big river meanders and rushes, and the banks of the river are dense jungles.

Xu Jiuzhao changed the angle of the lamp in his hand, and the scenery on the screen also changed accordingly.Spring flowers, summer rains, autumn fruits, and snowy moons slowly appear, and as the seasons change, the forest recedes, and quaint houses begin to appear.When a bright moon sets, it will be unknown how many years later.The Eiffel Tower stands on the banks of the Seine, the stars in the sky and the lights on the ground complement each other, and the scenery is so beautiful.

"!!!" Zou Hengxin gasped and covered his chest.

"Teacher!" Xu Jiuzhao was startled, put down the lamp in his hand and rushed to support him: "Zhongbao turn on the lamp!"
