My system is not decent

Chapter 1577 Don't Take the Unusual Path

During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the porcelain industry was more prosperous.

During this period, the porcelain making technology has undergone reform and innovation.

At this time, the shape and firing of utensils were full of changes, and the decoration techniques and themes were more colorful.

There are also more varieties of glaze colors, which can be said to be colorful, creating a new chapter in the history of porcelain making in my country.

During the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, backflow pots have been made all the time.

There are many preserved objects, especially in the Qing Dynasty.

Its texture includes colored porcelain, purple sand and tin pot, etc., which have been greatly developed compared with the previous generation.

Inverted pots in the Qing Dynasty seldom had the early styles with handles, but changed the handles to handles.

The shape is generally made into the shape of branches and leaves of longevity peaches, and the pots are often decorated with bats, deer, birthday stars, boys, pine trees and other patterns.

In modern society, the inverted pot is still playing its role in the homes of ordinary people, and it is fascinating with its interesting and unique use methods.

For example, the backflow pot is still being made in Chenlu Ancient Town, Tongchuan.

During the Five Dynasties period of our country, the Tongchuan area of ​​Xishan was called Jingzhaohuayuan.

Since then, ceramics have been produced locally, known as Yaozhou ceramics.

By the Song Dynasty, Yaozhou had 11 craftsmen firing kilns for porcelain.

Yaozhou kiln enjoys the same reputation as the five famous kilns of Ru, Jun, Guan, Ge and Ding in Song Dynasty.

Its celadon glaze color is bright and clean, and its carcass is exquisite and changeable. It is a gorgeous flower in my country's ancient porcelain art garden.

In the late Yuan Dynasty, Yaozhou kiln became the porcelain industry base and the largest firing area in Northwest China.

During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Yaozhou's ceramics industry reached its peak, and the fire was kept on day and night, so it was called "the furnace never goes out at night".

Today, this backflow pot, known as a national treasure, is forever inlaid on this land as a symbol of honor in Tongchuan.

If you have the opportunity, everyone hopes that you can visit Tongchuan in person and see the "magic pot".

And Chen Wenzhe didn't have the time, so he could only try to copy some ancient magic pots based on the information he got.

Of course, Chen Wenzhe has not forgotten that his main work this time is blue and white porcelain.

So after imitating a celadon backflow pot, the others are all blue and white backflow pots.

A beautiful porcelain pot, except for the spout, has no opening, no lid, and the whole body is one piece.

To fill the jug, turn the jug upside down and fill it through the hole at the bottom.

After the pot is filled upright, the water will not leak from the bottom.

This "unconventional" porcelain pot is the backflow pot.

Chen Wenzhe's first imitation must be the blue-glazed backflow pot from the Five Dynasties period!
Then came the Tang and Song Dynasties, the Tang Dynasty was earlier than the Five Dynasties.

Because the backflow pot was created and fired in the Tang Dynasty, it was popular in the Song and Liao dynasties.

There are very few backflow pots from the Tang Dynasty handed down to the present, and Chen Wenzhe only knows of one, which is a work from the late Tang Dynasty.

It is a Yue kiln celadon backflow pot from the late Tang Dynasty to the Five Dynasties period.

Yue kiln celadon has a green glaze color like mountains, and was praised by poets in the Tang Dynasty. The word "secret color" was first derived from the poem "Secret Color Yue Qi" by Lu Guimeng, a poet in the late Tang Dynasty.

The poem says: "Nine autumn winds and dews open the kiln, and win the emerald greenness of thousands of peaks. It is good to have a feast at the middle of the night, and share the cup of Sandou in Jizhong."

Since the Tang Dynasty, most literati and scholars like to drink tea, so Yue Kiln has achieved unprecedented development.

The enamel of the Yue Kiln Celadon Cup is warm and delicate, and the greenish-green slightly flashing yellow color can perfectly set off the color of the tea soup.

The prevailing tea-drinking fashion also had an impact on the shape of Yue kiln celadon.

In the early Tang Dynasty, there were mainly thin and tall vertical vessels, and in the late Tang Dynasty, plates and bowls in the shape of lotus leaves and flower mouths appeared.

Porcelain is mainly decorated with plain elements, and there are also scratched, engraved, stacked and hollowed-out patterns, with scratched flowers being the most common.

Common decorations are flowers and birds, aquatic plants and figures.

The carved lines of these porcelains are smooth and concise, slender and vivid.

The five dynasties Yue kiln celadon has fine texture, thin wall and moist surface.

The color of the body is gray or poured gray, and the enamel is plump and bright, translucent, like a tranquil lake, clear and pure.

The glaze layer is thin and uniform, and the glaze color is mainly yellow in the early stage and blue in the later stage.

And the backflow pots of this period must also be celadon, but the celadon of Yue Kiln is closer to the secret color porcelain, so it is more exquisite.

The shape of the vessel is that of the Five Dynasties hand-beamed backflow pot, but the glaze color is different.

After finishing this one, there will be works from the late Tang Dynasty to the Five Dynasties, and then the Song Dynasty.

The backflow pot of the Song Dynasty is also very good. He imitated a blue and white glazed backflow pot.

The treasure of this backflow pot is hidden in the Forbidden City. It is a blue and white glazed backflow pot from Jingzhen Kiln.

Its entire pot is 11.2 centimeters in height and 6 centimeters in foot diameter.

The body of the pot is spherical, and a dragon is stacked on the top, which skillfully forms the flow of the pot and the lifting beam.

The belly of the pot is melon-shaped, full, and there is a round hole in the center for pouring wine.

The whole body is covered with green and white glaze, and the glaze color is white and blue.

Chen Wenzhe has done too much with green glaze, or green and white glazed porcelain, and he has been able to control this glaze color very well.

Coupled with his skillful hands, it is not difficult at all to make porcelain from the Tang, Five Dynasties, and Song Dynasties.

After finishing this piece from the Song Dynasty, Chen Wenzhe thought about it. He also wanted to imitate a backflow pot from the Yuan Dynasty.

The backflow pots of the Yuan Dynasty were very famous, but there should be fewer treasures handed down to the present.

Chen Wenzhe knows of a famille rose peach-shaped backflow pot, and a blue-glazed phoenix-pattern backflow pot.

Chen Wenzhe made famille rose and indigo glaze very easily. After all, he had made a lot of pastel porcelain before, and now he has just made a lot of indigo glaze porcelain.

After making these two pots, Chen Wenzhe thought for a while, and then used the blue and white material in his hand to make two blue and white backflow pots with phoenix patterns on the ground and a blue and white peach-shaped backflow pot.

After finishing these pieces, Chen Wenzhe was satisfied with the price comparison.

Of course, Qinghua Shoutao looked a little strange, but nothing else.

"What kind of backflow pots were there in the Ming Dynasty?"

The most famous one in the Ming Dynasty should be the Cizhou kiln black-glazed Jiaolong backflow pot, right?
This black-glazed backflow pot has a height of 19.2 cm, a belly diameter of 12 cm and a bottom diameter of 7 cm.

The original product is basically well preserved, with a slight damage to the spout.

The body of the pot is in the shape of a drum, and the spout is connected with the lifting beam, which is molded into the image of a dragon—the spout is the dragon head, the lifting beam is the dragon body, and the four dragon claws are close to the body of the pot.

In particular, this is a black glazed porcelain.

Chen Wenzhe has also made black glazed porcelain before, so it is no problem to make such a continuous pot.

There are still quite a few backflow pots in the Ming Dynasty, except for this special one, there are also five-color cloud and dragon pattern backflow pots and so on.

Chen Wenzhe did everything he could think of.

After finishing the Ming Dynasty, we will come to the Qing Dynasty, and there are more backflow pots handed down from the Qing Dynasty.

However, Chen Wenzhe didn't want to do more, so he made some Qianlong's first.

As mentioned earlier, the backflow teapots of the Qing Dynasty seldom have the early styles with handles, but the handles are changed from handles to handles.

The shape is generally made into the shape of branches and leaves, and the pots are often decorated with bats, deer, birthday stars, boys, pine trees and other patterns.

It can be said that there are still many porcelain shapes in the Qianlong period.
