Recycled Porcelain [Ancient Wears Today]

Who is Zou Hengxin?

He is one of the living masters of contemporary ceramic art and the honorary president of the China Ceramic Art Association.In addition, he also holds many titles, including Arts and Crafts Master, Senior Arts and Crafts Technician, National First-Class Technician, etc. There are only N titles of visiting professors in the Ceramics Department of a certain art school, and he is also a famous art college Director of the Institute of Ceramics.

Zou Hengxin frowned, then let go of the teacup, and leaned back: "Are you recommending me an apprentice?"

Gao Daquan had played enough with his old friend, turned around and sat down again: "At last you don't have dementia yet."

Zou Hengxin glanced at him and said, "I won't be demented even if you are demented."

Gao Daquan pulled the tea bowl back very calmly, picked it up and took a sip: "It's just as long as you don't have dementia. Tell me, what do you think of this apprentice? Do you accept it?"

Zou Hengxin did not agree happily, but said with concern: "You also know that I haven't had an apprentice for many years, after all, I am old. Besides, once I accept this apprentice, he will be my closed disciple, regardless of his achievements. , with this identity, I can eat and wait for death for the rest of my life. It is impossible for me to take advantage of a person who doesn't know the basics with a word of yours before I understand it."

Gao Daquan sneered: "You are really old, I thought you would never be old in your life."

Zou Hengxin sighed with emotion: "Time is not forgiving, but my energy is not as good as before. It's not like you don't know, I haven't published a work for 3 years."

Gao Daquan put down the tea bowl and said, "Let me tell you, you haven't seen that child with your own eyes. He is like a sponge. He absorbs what he teaches and learns it very quickly. Not only does he learn quickly, but he also learns quickly! I have taught it before. I cut flowers once, and I watched him draw them once, and they were not very decent at the time. I waited two days later and looked again, hey~~ That painting was done in one go! The hands are quite steady, and the temperament is also very calm. The person is more It is down-to-earth, not arrogant or impetuous."

Zou Hengxin's heart skipped a beat, and his eyes flickered.

When others are old, they are not as naughty and lively as when they are full of energy.The confiscation of apprentices in the past ten years, on the one hand, is because the young people have become more and more impetuous and irritable these years, and it is impossible for them to calm down and learn things.On the other hand, he didn't meet suitable ones, and he didn't want to teach those apprentices who didn't suit him.

He has known Gao Daquan for decades, and they know each other very well. If he is not a person with exceptional talent and good character, he would not recommend him to him.

Zou Hengxin had a few thoughts in his mind. Although his temper was not as rigorous as when he was young, his requirements were still very strict in the field of ceramic art, which he was best at.

He doesn't want to miss people, but he can't be so hasty.

Zou Hengxin's eyes looked and looked at the bluish-white porcelain plum vase with twined branches of lotus on the coffee table, and finally said: "Well, you go back first, wait for me to prepare for a few days, then go and have a look with your own eyes."

Gao Daquan said unexpectedly: "Why are you running around like an old man with old arms and legs? Why should you let Xiao Xu come to you with a disciple like you, and you can't let you go there yourself."

Zou Hengxin wrinkled his nose and said, "Forget it, I'd better go and see it myself. Don't tell people and children, if I don't match up by then, it won't disappoint them. I can't go to see him. A little trace, you called people over too deliberately, and it doesn't look real."

Seeing his serious attitude, Gao Daquan knew that he took this matter to heart, so he relaxed and leaned on the sofa: "Okay, I will go back the day after tomorrow. After I go back, let him go from head to toe this time." Weidu burns a work by himself, so that you can see how his real level is now."

Zou Hengxin said impatiently: "Why the day after tomorrow, you can leave tomorrow."

Gao Daquan blew his beard and stared and said, "Aren't I tired after sitting on the train all day? Are you so cruel? You don't even give me a day off?"

Zou Hengxin said rather disdainfully: "Come on, don't lie to people, think I don't read the news? Now there is a high-speed train from Zhengzhou to Handan, and it takes more than an hour. Why are you so tired? If you say you are lazy, you are lazy."

Gao Daquan retorted: "Did you just take the high-speed train to get there? Don't you need to reverse the car? Are you not tired from the car? Why don't you tell me that I brought such a big plum vase?!"

"Anyway, you just have to wait for a day..."

"What do I depend on you for?"

"..."

Ignoring the unnutritious conversation at the end, Gao Daquan's recommendation was quite successful and complete. He knew that as long as Zou Hengxin met Xu Jiuzhao, he would be successful in all likelihood.

Gao Daquan sighed, if he hadn't focused on high imitation and was not good at creating his own works of art, and was afraid of delaying Xu Jiuzhao's aura, he wouldn't have given up Xu Jiuzhao.

"Both of you have to thank me!" Gao Daquan thought with gusto.

Gao Daquan went to watch the excitement, Xu Jiuzhao didn't know his intentions at all, but he had his own thoughts.

Xu Jiuzhao lowered his eyes and kept sifting out the particles and impurities in the porcelain clay. This time, Master Gao asked him to do the whole process by himself. Could it be some kind of test?

Xu Jiuzhao pursed his lips and thought deeply, Master Gao's requirements were too strict. Although the plum vase before was a creation that accidentally exposed its feet, it was comparable to the level of kiln masters here.After everything like this, can't you fall into Master Gao's eyes?

Although he has become an official kiln worker now, there is no need to rush to become an apprentice of Master Gao, but the experience of getting out of the crowd tells him that he must not destroy the city wall when the foundation is unstable.

Master Gao is a very good backer, Xu Jiuzhao can only try to find ways to meet his wishes, it is impossible to do the opposite on purpose after understanding.

So this time, is he going to perform better?

Most of the porcelain fired by Yunwen Porcelain Factory is monochrome porcelain, and painted porcelain and colored glaze porcelain are rarely fired.

The classification of ceramics can be divided into celadon, white porcelain, painted porcelain and color glazed porcelain.Monochromatic porcelain mainly refers to celadon and white porcelain, while the most famous representative of painted porcelain is blue and white porcelain, and colored glazed porcelain includes black glaze, floral glaze, blue glaze, red glaze, sauce glaze, etc.

When Xu Jiuzhao was in the Imperial Kiln Factory, he was actually mainly in charge of painted porcelain. He knew how to burn blue and white porcelain, and he fired it very well.And celadon is because of personal preference.In the dynasties after the Song Dynasty, every generation would have kilns with high imitation celadon. Xu Jiuzhao learned how to burn celadon, in addition to stealing from the kiln master who was in charge of celadon, it was his own assiduous study.

Xu Jiuzhao joined hands with the kiln masters of the celadon kiln, and fired azure porcelain of good quality, which was recommended by his mentor to Tao Jin, the pottery supervisor and eunuch who was looking for candidates everywhere.

It's also my fault that he was so complacent at the time that he ran to his teacher with the finished product and asked him to taste it!

Although Xu Jiuzhao really wanted to show off his blue and white porcelain firing skills this time, it was a pity that Master Gao hadn't taught him this knowledge at all before.He can't be too exaggerated, this can't be fooled by reading and studying.

So, let's burn celadon.

Xu Jiuzhao thought about it, because the previous plum vase was made for practice, the texture of the vase was a bit thick, and the engraved patterns barely caught the eye.Master Gao has already seen his performance in engraving, so this time he will work hard on the shape and quality of the tire.

Having made up his mind, Xu Jiuzhao began to seriously prepare for it.

Master Gao looked happy after watching the excitement.Others are old and knowledgeable, and the discovery of new kilns in the local area will have a certain stimulating effect on the local economic construction and development.How can one not be happy that one's own hometown has this opportunity, not to mention that this is also an opportunity for Yunwen to take off.

Master Gao saw Zhang Wenzhao's busy schedule, so he knew what he had planned.Among other things, the establishment of a local relics exhibition hall must be involved.

Although this is a great discovery, the State Administration of Cultural Heritage did not have the time and money to manage it, which gave Zhang Wenzhao a chance.

No matter how you think about it, the government is unlikely to refuse the investment of individual enterprises to set up exhibition halls that display local culture.With the cooperation between the two parties, the cultural relics and ruins still belong to the state, while the main building and management of the exhibition hall belong to the individual.

At that time, Zhang Wenzhao can exchange the restored porcelain in the name of exchanging cultural relics, collect enough varieties, and the exhibition hall can be transformed into a museum!The exchange of cultural relics is a normal phenomenon, and even illegal operations are not counted.

Among them, the private transactions arising from the exchange are enough for Zhang Wenzhao to earn a lot of money.

A profiteer, a profiteer indeed.Gao Daquan hummed.

The excavation site was in full swing, and the big spotlights were turned on even at night, working like day and night.When Xu Jiuzhao left, he could still hear the commotion over there.

After returning to the orphanage, Xu Jiuzhao took out a piece of porcelain from his pocket after dinner.This piece of porcelain was originally in Zhang Wenzhao's possession, but was later returned to him as a souvenir.

Zhang Wenzhao told him that after the historical status of this unknown kiln is determined, this piece of porcelain can be sold at a very high price.

Xu Jiuzhao looked at the tile with complicated emotions for a while, then bent down and took out the mooncake box from the crack under the bed, and put the tile in it.

As the weather gradually warmed up, Xu Jiuzhao opened the box containing the clothes and took out the long-sleeved clothes for spring, and then put the thick clothes that he couldn't wear into the box neatly.

When pushing the box in, Xu Jiuzhao saw several other boxes that had not been opened.

Wu Jiuli packed these boxes for him. At that time, Wu Jiuli didn't let him pack them, but pushed them under the bed, and he put the box containing the clothes outside.

Today Xu Jiuzhao saw it and pulled it out.The box was very heavy, Xu Jiuzhao opened it and was surprised.

It's full of books here!
