My system is not decent

Chapter 1595 Northern Loulan
If copper red glaze and secret color porcelain are special features, then Gong kiln can also be seen in the subtleties, like makeup soil.

This thing is also called make-up soil, tire-protecting glaze or pottery clothing.

It is to mix finer pottery clay or porcelain clay with water to form a slurry and apply it on the ceramic carcass, so that there is a thin layer of decorative paste on the surface of the utensil.

If these techniques are relatively common, then there are also unique things here, such as Tianmu glaze.

This is the finished product of "Jian Kiln" created and fired by Hu Jian Jianyang, who is famous for his black glazed porcelain.

Refers to the phenomenon of kiln transformation of the glazed surface of black porcelain. Under the light, the brilliance of the fusion of yellow, blue, purple and other colors emitted from the surface of the vessel is unpredictable.

Some people say that the neon people startled the strange color spots on the bottom glaze as the eye of the sky, so it is called the eye of the sky;

Some believe that it was produced in Hujian, Xijiang and other places.

There are spots such as kiln change, tortoise shell, oil drop, rabbit hair, and Konoha.

In fact, after careful study, many famous kilns and ancient kilns in China have figured out many technologies.

For example, before Chen Wenzhe studied the secret-color porcelain, he felt that the firing of the secret-color porcelain was related to many kiln techniques.

Even after the secret color porcelain is lost, its craftsmanship may be inherited by other famous kilns.

It has to be said that there are really many treasures that can be excavated in the Tang Dynasty.

Just like the last time Chen Wenzhe went to Chang'an, he had a big harvest in Chang'an.

Before he had an idea, he wanted to systematically study the Tang culture, such as the architecture of the Tang Dynasty, stone carvings and so on.

Chen Wenzhe must be very familiar with ceramics and Tang Sancai.

However, the culture of a country, or a dynasty, will eventually be reflected in all aspects of life.

This point was already clear to him when he was studying the peony pattern.

You must know that the peony pattern is not only used on porcelain, but more on cotton, linen and silk.

Even on furniture and buildings, there are carved peony patterns.

In the Tang Dynasty, the decorations used to fire porcelain were widely used on buildings!
In other words, the ornamentation on the building was later used on porcelain.

Chen Wenzhe has a strong interest in all ancient objects, and ancient buildings are no exception.

Because these ancient buildings carry not only the ups and downs of thousands of years, but also the hidden historical truth.

This is the benefit of a vast land and abundant resources and a long history.

As long as you want to study, you will definitely gain something.

What will be obtained by studying the ancient buildings preserved in the Tang Dynasty?
Thinking of this, Chen Wenzhe was a little dazed.

Looking back at an antique is definitely not as good as looking back at an ancient building, and you can see more ancient mirror images.

There should be quite a few ancient buildings over a thousand years old in our country.

On the postcards published by the Commercial Press in the 30s, the Lingxiao Pagoda of Zhengding Tianning Temple was printed, which was built in the Tang Dynasty.

The Tang Dynasty is one of the most important dynasties in the history of our country, with brilliant achievements in politics, economy, culture and diplomacy.

What are the characteristics of Tang Dynasty architecture?What kind of utensils did people use at that time?
Through the ancient buildings and cultural relics of the Tang Dynasty that have been preserved to this day, we can get a glimpse of the life of the Tang Dynasty more than a thousand years ago.

Most of the early buildings in our country were built using wood as raw materials.

Although the wooden structure is beautiful, it is afraid of both moisture and fire, and it takes time and effort to repair it.

This is why there are not many wooden structures left to this day.

Chen Wenzhe is still very interested in these things, after all, he has been to Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty.

During that month or so, Chen Wenzhe saw too many magnificent scenes of the ancient Tang Dynasty in Chang'an.

However, many wooden structures and cultural relics of that year have been damaged.

There are very few that can be handed down to the present. For example, in Beihe, there is only "half" of the beautiful Tang Dynasty bell tower.

This bell tower has been visited by Liang Sicheng many times. It is the bell tower of Kaiyuan Temple in the ancient city of Zhengding.

The Bell Tower of Kaiyuan Temple in Zhengding, with a width of 3 rooms, a depth of 4 rafters (3 rooms), and a height of 2 floors, was built in the late Tang Dynasty.

The reason why it is half a seat is because the upper floor has been rebuilt many times during the reconstruction of later generations, and it is no longer the original appearance.

However, the lower floor miraculously retains the style when it was first built.

It is not difficult to feel the charm of Tang Dynasty from the pillar foundation, bucket arch and moon beam on the ground floor.

There are three square bell towers, and the exterior of the upper floor was rebuilt by later generations, but the magnificent brackets on the inside and the lower floor cannot be denied if it is said to be a Tang structure.

The interior of the bell tower, especially the pillar bases, bucket arches, and moon beams, has a strong Tang style.

Tang Feng of Yanzhao is not alone here. It is located in Kaiyangbao, Futudao Township, Zhangjiakou, known as "Northern Loulan".

In the Tang Dynasty more than a thousand years ago, Kaiyang Fort entered its heyday.

At that time, people rebuilt Kaiyang Castle according to the design concept of "Nine Palaces and Bagua".

Its main streets intersect in the shape of a well, and the temple buildings are positioned according to the meaning of the Eight Diagrams.

The layout of the entire castle is regular, majestic, and has the reputation of "spiritual turtle exploring the water".

In Kaiyang Fort, the relatively well-preserved Tang Dynasty building is Yuhuang Pavilion.

Because of its long history, there are only a few civil buildings in the Tang Dynasty preserved to this day, and Yuhuang Pavilion is one of them.

There are 3 rooms in Yuhuang Pavilion, more than 2 feet high, on the top of the mountain with single eaves.

The four eaves and corners are exquisite and exquisite, and there are still animals on the ridges of the corners.

What is particularly striking is that the wooden component at the corner of the eaves acts as a lever, and its mouth is carved like an elephant head.

This kind of carving is rare in ancient buildings.

The last time the Yuhuang Pavilion was rebuilt was during the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, but it retained the architectural style of the Tang and Song Dynasties.

In addition to Yuhuang Pavilion, there is also Kaiyang Gate in Kaiyang Fort. It is the south gate of this ancient castle and the only gate of the castle. There is Yuhuang Pavilion on it.

The gates and pavilions were all built in the Tang Dynasty. Although they were rebuilt in later generations, they still retain the style of the Tang Dynasty, so their cultural relics are extremely valuable.

The most valuable value of Kaiyang Fort lies in the preservation of the overall style of the thousand-year-old city.

This provides valuable physical data for the study of Tang Dynasty architecture.

Kaiyang Fort's unique architectural artistic heritage and vast geographical features reflect the wisdom and cultural accumulation of the nation.

Its vivid carrier is full of a special sense of time and space, and it is an unrepeatable memory outside the Great Wall.

There are not many records about Kaiyang Fort in historical documents, and archaeological excavations have not yet yielded a feasibility demonstration.

This ancient castle is silent, desolate, and dilapidated, and all the stories about its life experience can only be known by time.

And Chen Wenzhe can just see the traces left by the years.

Therefore, he is most concerned about this kind of ancient buildings, because they carry too much.

It's a pity that there are not many wooden buildings like this, but there should be some stone buildings.

For example, the stone pagoda of Xingguo Temple in Jiecun Primary School, Chengwei Township, Boye County, Baoding is the oldest existing ancient pagoda in Baoding.

This ancient pagoda was built in the fourth year of Jinglong (710) in the Tang Dynasty. The stone pagoda has a history of 1302 years.

This pagoda was originally a building in Xingguo Temple, but now the temple has been destroyed and only this pagoda remains.

The stone pagoda of Xingguo Temple was built at the same time as the Small Wild Goose Pagoda in Chang'an, and its style is similar.
