Chapter 1111 Ceramic Treasures
Prosperous China, how to show the grandeur of the prosperous age?

There are some things that the country will not publicize, because after all, they are luxuries, not necessities of life.

Therefore, although many top porcelains will appear on suitable occasions, the state will not publicize them.

Of course, the country will not publicize this point, but through some private small videos, on the small video platform, you will still see a small piece of it.

For example, Chen Wenzhe has seen that among the porcelain used for state banquets, there are rouge water porcelain and enamel porcelain specially fired for entertaining foreign leaders.

Not to mention anything else, it's just a bowl cover for heat preservation, which looks like an upside-down sea bowl.

Can you imagine that when you tap it, it can make a sound like a copper bell?

If you don't listen to it yourself, you will never know what it feels like to "Sound Ruxin".

Ten top realms of ceramic production: white as jade, bright as a mirror, thin as paper, and sound like a chime.

These four sentences, if you don’t experience them yourself, you will never know what kind of state it is.

The current Chen Wenzhe is well-informed, so he knows the difference between ancient craftsmanship and modern craftsmanship.

The achievement of modern craftsmanship lies in the inheritance of history, in science and technology, in the development of modern consulting and education, rather than in pure technology accumulation.

The ancients, on the other hand, could only rely on technology accumulation.

Therefore, in terms of the hand-made level of ancient porcelain, woodware, and lacquerware, some top craftsmen's skills are higher than the present.

There are other aspects, such as the raw materials used, which may be better than modern ones, but the processing methods are not good enough.

For example, the materials used in ancient times are basically pure natural materials.

Modern materials are basically chemical materials, and modern materials cannot compare with ancient materials in every aspect.

However, it is just a grinding technique, and the ancients used manual work, which is no match for modern people.

Like Chinese red porcelain, if you are willing to waste raw materials and use ancient techniques, then ancient porcelain is incomparable.

The first thing Chen Wenzhe made must be the Chinese Red Bowl. The shape of the bowl is simple, but the glaze color is really difficult to match, and it is even more difficult to make it well.

For the first time, Chen Wenzhe didn't think it was too complicated, but what he made was a famous porcelain.

Many people watch the Spring Festival Gala every year, but they probably don't know much about the bowl that was out of the circle during the Spring Festival Gala.

It's just that Chen Wenzhe is a professional, so he paid special attention to the small bowl that appeared in the camera.

And he also knew that the bowl came from Qilu Zicheng, and his hometown was famous for porcelain, so he was very happy.

In the Spring Festival Gala of the Year of the Tiger on CCTV in 22, this Huyue Spring Bowl was particularly eye-catching in the circle.

This bowl was created by CCTV Headquarters Wenchuang, adding a touch of style to the Spring Festival Gala.

This Huyuechun Bowl, which is full of profound Chinese feelings, is shaped like "Zhengde Bowl" and has "Chinese Red" as its base color.

With the theme of China's "Hehe" culture, "Hehe Tiger" is the main creative element.

It is made of natural mineral bone china, which has won the national invention patent, and is made of world-leading technologies such as high-gloss lead-free glaze and high-temperature in-glaze color, after six times of calcination and more than [-] processes.

The reason why this small bowl appeared is that there was a precedent in 21 years.

In 2021 CCTV Spring Festival Gala of the Year of the Ox, a "Fu Niu Bowl" stirred the nerves of domestic porcelain masters.

In the eyes of others, it may be that there is an extra creative gift for the Spring Festival Gala.

But in the eyes of different people, what they see is an excellent opportunity to prove the strength of Zicheng ceramics to the people of the country, and to be called Xiangzicheng ceramics brand.

Therefore, the masters in Zicheng secretly made the determination to "make a Spring Bowl for the Year of the Tiger".

Now, get what you want.

The main creative element of the Huyue Spring Bowl is "Hehe Tiger", which is carefully and creatively drawn with six traditional auspicious patterns such as auspicious clouds, wishful wishes, copper coins, ingots, bats, and lucky fishes that Chinese people are most fond of.

Expressed the best wishes for a prosperous, healthy, safe and smooth, and a happy homeland in the coming year.

The two cute little tigers on the bowl wear "He, He" on their heads, and hold money in their mouths, implying to welcome blessings, attract wealth and accept blessings, and protect peace and harmony.

The bowl has accompanied the fireworks in the world for thousands of years, and witnessed the change of dynasties. It has gone through countless years of butterfly changes, and continues Chinese culture with a poetic existence.

This Huyue Spring Bowl will bring people more holiday blessings and confidence in Chinese history and traditional culture.

For such a bowl, the most difficult thing is the glaze color and decoration.

The type of vessel is Zhengde bowl, which is the palace bowl. Because it was a porcelain bowl fired in the Zhengde period of Ming Dynasty, it enjoyed a high reputation at that time, so it was called "Zhengde bowl".

Among them, the typical ones with outward rims and wide and deep abdomen are called "palace bowls".

Chen Wenzhe made this kind of bowl in China earlier, so it is very simple to make.

If it's embryo pulling, he can make one in a few seconds.

However, the texture of this Huyuechun bowl is different, it is bone china.

Bone China, referred to as bone china, also known as bone china, production began in England.

The academic circles generally believe that the first Englishman who successfully produced bone china was Josiah Spode.

Before this guy, Westerners have been trying to make fine porcelain, but they just can't make good ones.

This has been imitated for hundreds of thousands of years, and bone china has finally been produced.

At that time, Josiah Spode directly mixed calcined bones with china clay and mineral flux to become a traditional hard porcelain raw material, which was successfully tested in the early 19th century.

Then he began to conduct systematic research on the production of bone china formula. At the end of 1821, the ratio of bone ashes to china stone was "standardized".

At that time, people believed that the porcelain produced with feldspar as flux and blank containing 46% ashes was the best product.

The basic process is based on animal bone charcoal, clay, feldspar and quartz as the basic raw materials, and is fired twice after high-temperature biscuit firing and low-temperature glaze firing.

The two basic characteristics of bone china are the essential basis for distinguishing bone china from other porcelains.

One is that the content of bone charcoal is more than 36% (national standard); the other is that it is made by secondary firing (biscuit firing, glaze firing).

According to the bone china standard set by England, it contains [-]% tricalcium phosphate from animal bones, and the finished product has light transmission, so it is called bone china.

And the standard of the beautiful country is at least [-]%.

The invention process of bone china is quite comical.

It started when Thomas Fry accidentally mixed animal bone meal in the manufacturing process.

Afterwards, Josiah Spode continued to study it.

The earliest basic formula is six parts of bone meal and four parts of porcelain stone.

But later it gradually developed into fifty parts of bone meal, twenty-five parts of china stone and twenty-five parts of clay.

To this day, it is considered the standard recipe in England.

For more than two hundred years, bone china has gradually developed into a world ceramic treasure through the hands of generations of famous craftsmen.
