My system is not decent

Chapter 1101
The characteristics of Tang Sancai can be summarized into three aspects, namely shape, glaze color and tire quality.

Of course, the place of origin is also one of the influencing factors.

The first is the shape. In terms of shape, its shape is different from that of ordinary handicrafts, and it is also different from horses unearthed in other eras.

The shapes of Tang Sancai are rich and colorful, which can be generally divided into four categories: living utensils, models, figures, and animals.

Most of them are animals, which may be related to the background of the times at that time.

In ancient my country, horses were one of the important means of transportation for people.

Horses are needed on the battlefield, farmers need horses to plow the fields, and horses are also needed for transportation, so there are more horses unearthed in Tang Sancai.

The horses in the Tang Sancai are relatively fat. It is said that this breed of horse was brought as a tribute from the Western Regions at that time.

So it is a bit different from the shape of the horse we saw.

Generally, horses have fatter hips and wider necks.

This is the characteristic of Tang Ma's shape. It is mainly static, but it is driven by static.

If you look at it suddenly, you can see that it is a standing horse, but through the depiction of the horse's eyes, the horse's eyes are carved into triangles, and the eyes are round.

Then, the horse's ears were pressed together, as if it was listening quietly, or hearing something.

Through such detailed depictions, the inner spirit and inner rhythm of Tang Ma are shown, and the superb craftsmanship of the craftsmen can also be seen.

In addition to horses, there are more camels next.

This may be related to the trade between China and foreign countries at that time. Camels were one of the means of transportation for long-distance trekking, and camels were needed as transportation along the Silk Road.

Therefore, the craftsmen reflect it on the handicrafts.

The characters are generally more court maids, which reflects the court life at that time.

A Tang Sancai work, that is, the shape, glaze color and fetal quality.

Once the shape is done, the second is the glaze color, which is another characteristic of Tang Sancai.

As a utensil, three glaze colors of yellow, green and white were used at the same time, which was also the first time in the Tang Dynasty.

However, the craftsmen cleverly used the method of glazing to use the three colors of yellow, green and white in an interlaced and interlaced manner.

Then after high-temperature firing, the glaze color melts and flows, forming a unique flowing process.

After leaving the kiln, the three-colored pottery becomes many colors.

It has primary colors, multiple colors, and mixed colors. What people can see is a variety of mottled colors, which are the characteristics of Tang Sancai glaze colors.

Tang Sancai utensils are round and plump in shape, which is consistent with the plump, healthy and broad features of Tang Dynasty art.

The three-color characters and animals have a moderate proportion, natural shape, smooth lines, and lively.

Among the figure figurines, the warriors are muscular, with angry eyes and swords drawn;

The female terracotta figurines are tall and wide-sleeved, slim and graceful, leisurely and elegant, and very plump.

The last is the fetal quality, the Tang Sancai fetal quality is white with light red and light yellow.

The fetal soil is fine and solid, containing mineral impurities.

Since most of them were unearthed from tombs, after thousands of years, the exposed parts of the utensils have been weathered;
Most of the imitations are made of porcelain or gypsum, and the body is white and delicate without weathering.

There are few impurities, the sound of knocking is loud, and the hand feels heavy.

To imitate Tang Sancai, for Chen Wenzhe, the easiest thing to do is Tang horses and camels, or even figurines.

For Chen Wenzhe, making Tang Sancai with other strange shapes is troublesome.

But among the most classic Tang Sancai, it is the one mentioned by Chen Wenzhe earlier.

Camels, horses and figurines are the simplest, he only needs to use clay modeling, kneading or carving.

Of course, if you carve a suitable mold, it will be easier to make.

Sculpture, he is a professional, even if he simply uses processed mud to knead, he can quickly get what he wants.

Of course, to make a piece of Tang Sancai, it must not only use one craft, but often use more than two methods.

Generally, it is first necessary to carry out detailed conception and design, and then use special sculpture tools to create sculptures with clay. After repeated revisions, it is finally shaped.

Now to make Tang Sancai, a lot of work needs to be prepared.

Of course, first of all, Chen Wenzhe must draw some design drawings. After all, he still needs to seriously consider the style of the Tang Dynasty.

The aesthetics of the Tang Dynasty is really different from other dynasties.

For example, a famous calligraphy and painting work he knows is a picture of a horse. The horse on it is extremely round, and now it looks like it has no tail.

It's just such a painting, which is still highly sought after by people. This is the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, it is not easy to imitate Tang Sancai if you do not have some skills and background.

Because Tang Sancai was created by craftsmen in the Tang Dynasty in a specific historical period.

It is inseparable from the social customs, living environment, aesthetic consciousness, production materials and craftsmanship level at that time.

Therefore, no matter it is a character or an animal, it can show a vivid and lifelike demeanor, with a strong breath of life.

Judging from the unearthed Tang Sancai, the sculpture level of Tang Dynasty craftsmen is very high, and their skills are very skilled.

The proportions of characters and animals are coordinated and the images are vivid.

The faces, facial features, expressions, postures, and gestures of the characters change in a certain way, and all kinds of animals are either still or moving, full of energy and natural form.

The production of counterfeit goods, one is based on the original, the second is based on the picture, the third is to innovate on the prototype, and the fourth is to fabricate.

Some of the imitations are now similar to the originals, although the creators have put a lot of effort into their shapes.

However, due to the lack of basic skills of the sculptors, and the fact that the living environment of the makers was different from that of the craftsmen of the Tang Dynasty, the sculptors could only be similar in shape but not in spirit, and the shapes were often rigid and lacked variety.

For example, the figurines produced are often uncoordinated in proportion, with sluggish faces, stiff lines, and some lines are too regular.

The bottom feet of the three-color circular utensils in the Tang Dynasty are generally in the shape of "flying edges", and a knife is repaired outside the edge.

This is most common on bowls, plates, bottles, pots, bowls and other utensils, while imitations often lack this process.

If these are not studied thoroughly, no matter how many imitated works are produced, they will be waste.

Therefore, the preparatory work is very important, some design drawings in line with the characteristics of the times, suitable raw materials, necessary tools and so on.

The most difficult thing is the tools, but Li Jinli also bought this point when he bought the right kaolin.

At that time, he bought high-quality kaolin in a large amount in China, but because he was not professional enough, he bought some well-known ore materials that were not suitable for making ceramics.

Famous minerals are all suitable raw materials for a certain kind of porcelain or pottery, but not everything can be done.

For example, the mineral materials for Ru kiln porcelain are the most suitable in Ruzhou, and the raw materials for making Dehua white porcelain must be the most suitable materials from the place of origin.

The same is true for Tang Sancai. The most famous origin of Tang Sancai in China is Yangluo.
