Chapter 1576 A Supernatural Work
This blue-glazed pot with beams and inverted pouring, once released, has attracted great attention from cultural relic experts.

Experts in ancient ceramics found that the surface of this pot is moist and shiny, and the pot is round in shape, but it has a lid but cannot be opened, and it is not known where to fill it with water.

It is extremely exquisite, with patterns carved all over the body, vivid and three-dimensional.

Faced with such a puzzling pot-shaped utensil, experts can only call it a "magic pot".

With further identification, experts have solved many mysteries.

Judging from the perspective of ceramic technology, the carcass of the "Magic Pot" is solid, fine in texture, and the glaze color is light blue to grayish white.

Its overall shape is plump and luxurious, and it should be a rare treasure among Yaozhou kiln porcelains of the Five Dynasties.

Because Yaozhou kiln started firing celadon in the Tang Dynasty, it was influenced by the southern Yue kiln in the Five Dynasties period.

Yaozhou kiln mainly burns celadon, and the quality of celadon is obviously improved compared with Tang Dynasty. The Five Dynasties period is the mature period of Yaozhou kiln celadon.

And this piece of porcelain produced in the mature period is naturally a top-notch work.

This blue-glazed porcelain pot with handles and beams is poured with different patterns, such as phoenix and peony, to express people's longing for a better life.

Thus reflecting an era of prosperous culture and stable people's life.

The "Magic Pot" perfectly combines novel and unique shapes, sharp and clear decorations, and green glaze that is about to drip, just like a work of magic.

However, compared with its incomparable artistic value, what is more attractive about the "Magic Pot" is the ingenious design inside the pot.

The experts at that time were amazed by its exquisite appearance, and eager to learn more about this exquisite utensil shaped like a pot.

Experts found that the lid and the body of the pot were designed and manufactured as one, and it was impossible to open it at all.

They only found that at the base of the pot, there is a five-petal plum blossom hole, which is the only channel that can enter the inside of the pot except for the spout.

So they tried to pour water into the pot from the plum blossom hole at the bottom.

Unexpectedly, after turning the body of the pot upright, the water will not leak from the plum blossom hole at the bottom of the pot.

Tilt the body of the pot slightly, and the water can flow out slowly from the spout normally.

After actual testing, the pot can hold 910ml of water.

In order to understand the mystery of this magical "magic pot", experts used modern technology to conduct X-ray "perspective" on the "magic pot".

By looking at the cross-sectional view of the "Magic Pot", we can see that there are two conduits inside the pot, and judge from this that the pot is actually a backflow pot.

A backflow jug is a jug that pours liquid from the bottom of the jug and pours it out normally from the spout.

Now we all know that this is made according to the principle of the equal height of the liquid level of the communicating device in physics.

Simply put, there is only one kind of liquid in the communicating vessel, and when the liquid is not flowing, the liquid levels on both sides of the container are always kept equal.

Therefore, the mystery of why the "magic pot" does not have a lid that can be lifted, but leaves a mysterious plum-shaped hole in the bottom of the pot is easily solved.

The celadon-glazed beam-lifting and pouring porcelain pot is very ingeniously conceived, which is amazing.

The whimsical ideas in shape and structure reflect the unique personality of ancient master craftsmen.

"There is poetry and calligraphy in the stomach"-Douliuhu is the best annotation of this poem.

In fact, the "mystery" of the backflow pot is not entirely in the pot.

Its appearance shows the advanced technology and superb level of the ancients in the design, manufacture and firing of ceramic works.

There are several modern names for this kind of pot, such as backflow pot, pouring pot, inverted pot and so on.

In fact, it doesn't matter what its name is, what is important is that it can give us modern people an inspiration.

This is why the backflow pot is made by using a scientific principle, and at the same time it also illustrates a philosophy of life.

This is: the upside down is right, it is upside down, the end of upside down is upright, and the upside down is upside down.

This seems unreasonable, but it actually tells everyone: Do not exceed the limit in anything you do.

Such a meaningful and magical pot, once it appears, it cannot disappear.

Therefore, as time goes by, the production level of backflow pots is getting higher and higher.

Later, it can also be made into a style with multiple inner tanks, which can pour different liquids from a single pot.

This is the Yin-Yang Pot. In TV movies, the jug used to poison opponents is often this kind.

Such a magical magic pot is naturally amazing.

Therefore, even now, many foreigners can't help admiring after visiting the Backflow Pot.

Since the backflow pot does not have a cover that can be lifted, it is more tightly sealed than the pots we use in daily life, and dust cannot fall into the pot, which is more hygienic.

So many foreigners, after visiting the backflow pot, said with admiration: more than 1000 years ago, your ancestors knew how to seal and pay attention to hygiene, which is really amazing.

Of course, this is not what Chen Wenzhe is interested in. What he is interested in is the exquisite craftsmanship contained in it.

This kind of skill is exquisite and amazing!
This celadon-glazed beam-lifting and pouring porcelain pot can be said to perfectly demonstrate the superb level of porcelain-making technology of the Yaozhou kiln of the Five Dynasties.

Its decoration is complicated and gorgeous, and the craftsmanship is extremely exquisite, condensing the painstaking efforts and wisdom of skilled craftsmen.

It is Yaozhou kiln, the most representative product!
The backflow pots in the past were all handmade!
On the other hand, the celadon backflow pot is a collection of all Yaozhou kiln crafts such as drawing, engraving, stacking and pasting.

After that, it is made by manufacturing, billeting and firing.

During this period, the yield rate is very small!

Therefore, this utensil is a very important cultural relic in the history of ceramics in our country.

However, as early as 1000 years ago, what method did the ancients use to make the backflow pot?
In fact, it is not difficult to make this exquisitely constructed backflow pot, as long as you know how to make it.

After the research of experts, it turns out that the backflow pot is also made backwards during the production process.

When making, you need to use clay to pull out the shape of the pot first.

Then put the prepared catheter into the inside of the pot tire.

Then seal the mouth of the forming pot and put it into the furnace for firing.

Even in this kiln for firing ceramics, the ceramic craftsmen at that time also mastered advanced technology.

According to archaeological analysis, in the Tang Dynasty, the firing temperature of Yaozhou kiln could reach 1310°C.

The ability to achieve such a high temperature is mainly due to a horseshoe kiln with a completely closed kiln roof.

The advanced feature of this kind of kiln is that when the fire rises from the fire pit, it reaches the top of the kiln first, because the top of the kiln is closed, and the fire can only move down along the kiln bed.

In this way, during the movement of the flame from the bottom of the kiln to the top of the kiln, the products in the kiln can be evenly fired.

Finally, the fire exits from the bottom flue.

In 2006, Yaozhou kiln ceramic firing techniques were approved by the state and included in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage list.

The cultural connotation contained in the backflow pot and the superb skills displayed have added a lot of color to Chinese civilization.

Of course, any technology is constantly evolving.

After the development of the Song and Yuan Dynasties, in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the production technology of the backflow pot went further.
