My system is not decent

1214--Chapter [-]
The pagoda is a sacred hall dedicated to Buddha bones, and there are many underground palaces under it. The underground palace is a mysterious place for storing funeral objects.

This kind of Ding kiln (including other kiln openings) objects is extremely rare.

Based on this, it can be inferred that this porcelain sedan chair should also belong to the list of ghost vessels, and it was specially burned for burial.

This white-glazed and brown-colored sedan chair adopts a variety of decorative techniques such as kneading, stacking, hollowing out, embossing, engraving, and stippling.

It is a more complicated type of inlay, which is a type different from cutters and round ware.

Every time he sees this porcelain sedan chair, Chen Wenzhe can't help but marvel at the ingenuity of Ding kiln craftsmen.

They brought the art of earth and fire to the extreme.

As long as they can be expressed with porcelain, they are omnipotent, and this Ding kiln vessel is an example.

The most important thing is that it truly reproduces the image of the folk four-person shoulder-car (sedan) in the Northern Song Dynasty, and it is a rare fine product among the bionic porcelains of Ding Kiln.

To make such a piece of porcelain, it is necessary to use techniques such as kneading, stacking, hollowing out, embossing, engraving, and stippling.

As long as any kind of craftsmanship here is slightly substandard, it is absolutely impossible to make such a high-quality porcelain.

It can be said that this piece of porcelain has fully reflected the characteristics of Ding Kiln.

The fetal quality is thin and light, the fetal color is white and yellowish, firm and opaque, the glaze is very thin, and the glaze color is shiny and bright.

It can be seen that the fetus is firm and fine, with a high degree of porcelain, even reaching the level of half-embossed.

As long as the porcelain of the Ding kiln porcelain sedan can be imitated successfully, Chen Wenzhe's Ding kiln imitation technology can be regarded as reaching the pinnacle level.

Afterwards, imitate some porcelains with simple shapes, and you can achieve the realm of great ingenuity and no workmanship.

Therefore, after finishing the production of the three porcelain sedan chairs, Chen Wenzhe couldn't help but want to try his craft.

He felt that this time his technique had made another huge breakthrough.

"Just make thin porcelain bowls!"

There are a lot of porcelain unearthed in the underground palace of Jingzhi Temple, after all, there are more than one hundred pieces!

These porcelains were all donated by dignitaries of the year, or directly from the royal family.

Therefore, even the bowls and dishes are of the imperial porcelain level.

With such a batch of treasures as specimens, Chen Wenzhe soon had a plan.

He has made thin-bodied porcelain before, and now he wants to see if he can make better thin-bodied porcelain from Ding Kiln.

Some utensils such as bowls and plates in Ding kiln have extremely thin tires.

Even the thickness of a large plate with a diameter of 30 cm is only 2 to 4 mm.

The white-glazed trumpet-mouth bowl unearthed from the Jingzhi Temple's underground palace has a thinnest rim of only 1 mm.

There is also a white-glazed "official" lotus-patterned bowl with a lip less than 2 mm thick.

It can see through the lotus petal pattern on the outer wall when it meets the light, and the knocking sound is light and crisp.

This fully embodies the characteristics of Ding porcelain "white as jade, thin as paper, and sound like a chime", which is amazing.

I have made trumpet-mouthed bowls before, but this time I will make bowls engraved with lotus official characters.

It is not difficult to simply imitate a bowl, the main thing is the change of glaze color.

If it is white glaze, everything is easy to say, just follow the normal procedure.

If it is a kiln change, then you need to pay attention to the temperature, and in the end it is just a choice of two glaze colors.

As long as the kiln temperature is well controlled, what kind of glaze color you want, you can fire what kind of porcelain.

Chen Wenzhe did too many dishes.

At this time, as long as he uses suitable materials and according to the characteristics of Ding kiln in Song Dynasty, he can make all kinds of porcelain as he likes.

It can be said that there will be no lag at all.

Made a bowl, and then a cup holder.

Any piece of porcelain he took here, no matter whether the shape is simple or not, has a long history, or is a fine product.

For example, this holder was also unearthed from the underground palace of Jingzhi Temple.

This is a white-glazed Northern Song Dynasty "official" bowl with a fancy mouth holder, which just matches this bowl with the official inscription of Lianhua.

Now that the holder is made, it is normal to have a plate on that seat.

What is the difference between a cup and a plate?There is almost no difference, but the shape of the device is slightly different and the function is different, so there are two names.

This time he used the technique of drawing flowers, and the engraved patterns are very rare. The patterns Chen Wenzhe carved this time are butterfly patterns that he does not often use.

The white-glazed disc with flower pattern and butterfly pattern is also a disc with the inscription "Official" in the Northern Song Dynasty.

The plate has a diameter of 10.5 cm, a foot diameter of 5 cm, and a height of 7 cm.

Awn mouth hairy feet, flat bottom.

The mouth wall is in the shape of a five-curved flower, and the inner bottom is also decorated with two cicadas spreading their wings opposite each other, with short circle feet and the word "official" in running script.

Because it is over-fired, it has a mang mouth. If this plate is to be presented as a tribute, it must be decorated.

Therefore, this is an authentic Jingzhi Temple underground palace white glaze "official" style gold plate.

After finishing this one, Chen Wenzhe looked at the plate in a daze, but actually he thought of another plate.

Among the Ding kiln wares, there is another kind of plate, which is the high foot plate.

A white-glazed flower-mouthed high-footed plate was unearthed from the underground palace of Jingzhi Temple. This white-glazed flower-mouthed high-footed plate has a diameter of 14.7 cm, a bottom diameter of 9.7 cm, and a height of 10 cm.

There are tear marks on the outside, the disc has a five-curved pointed petal mouth, and five lotus flowers inside the oblique abdomen.

The tall foot is in the shape of a covered bowl, the inner wall is unglazed, decorated with string patterns, and the supporting plate is connected with glaze.

It should be noted here that this kind of high-foot plate appeared in the Song Dynasty, not the Yuan Dynasty.

Many people in modern times say that things like goblets and high-foot plates are all ethnic minorities. For example, the Mongols in the Yuan Dynasty used them for drinking, so this type of utensil was invented.

In fact, this kind of statement is wrong. Maybe the high-footed cups became popular in the Yuan Dynasty, but the high-footed cups and high-footed plates appeared very early.

What I just mentioned is the high-foot plate of the Ding kiln in the Song Dynasty. In fact, this kind of porcelain was also unearthed in the Tang Dynasty.

For example, Huishi Museum has a tall foot plate with a total height of 12.4 cm, a diameter of 14.9 cm, and a foot height of 9.5 cm.

This tall plate is composed of two parts, the foot and the plate. The plate is open, with slight defects, and the arc wall is thin. The bottom is supported by a trumpet-shaped hollow high foot.

The plate is relatively shallow, and there are traces of nails left by burning other utensils in the plate, with a concave single-line string pattern printed in a circle, and the carcass is light yellow.

There are still some ice cracks on the arc-shaped abdomen, and most of the rest of the glaze has fallen off.

It was appraised by experts on cultural relics as a high foot plate of the Tang Dynasty, and it was designated as a national third-level cultural relic.

There are many records about pans in ancient times, such as "Historical Records Biography of Pingyuan Jun Yuqing" by Sima Qian of the Han Dynasty, "King of Chu who knelt down after Mao Sui presented a copper pan".

"Book of Rites · Funeral Records" has a record of "using tile plates for bathing".

Tang Lishen's "Compassion for Farmers" "Who knows that the Chinese food on the plate is all hard work" and so on.

It can be seen from this that the plate is a common utensil for washing or holding items in ancient times, at least among the nobles.

Although the plate is different from the high-footed plate, the usage is the same, and they are all used to hold things.

For example, to hold food, the flat bottom plate and the high foot plate match each other, and more food can be placed on the table of the same size.
