My system is not decent

Chapter 1597

It is not easy to imitate the works of Xing Kiln.

At present, there are four kilns in China that fired Tang Sancai. In addition to the Xing Kiln, there are Huangye Kiln in Gongyi City, Nanhe Province, Huangyaobao Kiln in TC City, Xishan Province, and Airport Kiln in Chang'an City.

Compared with the other three kilns, the Xing Kiln Tang Sancai uses local kaolin as the tire material, and the tire quality is generally denser. After bisque firing, the carcass is hard, and some products are close to porcelain, and the tire color is mostly yellowish-brown or red.

In order to make up for this defect, Xing kiln craftsmen often apply a layer of white make-up clay on the blank body before biscuit firing.

Thin body and uniform glaze is the most important feature of Xing kiln Tang Sancai, and the body glaze is closely joined.

It is also a low-temperature glaze but rarely cracks, which is an important factor to distinguish it from similar products from other kilns.

The glaze color of Xing kiln is bright, with a strong sense of fusion and flow; the glaze is bright and even, with a glass texture.

The utensils fired in this way are simple and generous in shape, with full and smooth lines, and regular and fine production.

Especially the white porcelain of Xing kiln, the glaze color is silvery white and quiet, giving people a sense of beauty that is both graceful and full, dignified and generous.

The glaze colors of Xing kiln porcelain are white, blue, black and brown-yellow.

According to the texture of its body and glaze, white porcelain can be divided into two categories: coarse and fine.

A kind of white porcelain rough tire is gray in color and rough in texture;

The carcass of a type of thin tire is dense, and the color of the tire is lighter, but it is still not white enough, so a layer of white make-up soil is often applied.

The enamel of coarse white porcelain is relatively fine, and some have fine grains. The glaze color is gray or milky white, and some are yellowish white.

The output of coarse white porcelain is large, and during the production process, no matter whether it is kneaded or aged, it is not sufficient, and the white is often yellowed.

By the time of the Five Dynasties, the technological level of some products had been improved, and there were few sand inclusions in the carcass, and the phenomenon of undercooking had been basically overcome, and it gradually became more delicate.

The body color of fine white porcelain is pure white, and individual white and yellowish enamel is very fine, and there are tiny brown eyes in the glaze layer.

Most of the utensils are covered with glaze, and the glaze color is pure white or slightly blue in white.

White glaze can also be divided into thickness and thickness, with thick ones in the majority and thin ones in the minority.

In the processing technology of fine white porcelain, every step is very particular, and the whiteness is very high after firing.

The fine white porcelain of Xing kiln is fired with high-quality porcelain clay. The body is solid and delicate, the color of the body is as white as snow, the enamel is shiny, and some are as thin as eggshells, with good transparency.

Generally, utensils are pure white and bright, while some are slightly blue in white.

Xing kiln is made of magnesium glaze, which has a high viscosity at high temperature, and the glaze surface is easy to be smooth and smooth, with good gloss.

However, the glaze color is opaque, opaque, stable, and mostly white or bluish in white.

This enables the opacity glaze to have a good covering ability on the carcass, and the utensils are glazed to the bottom, and the high-quality ones are also glazed to the center of the foot.

However, the glaze configuration of Ding kiln products at that time was unstable, and the glaze was divided into two types, thick and thin, which were not smooth enough and had poor gloss.

Xing kiln white-glazed porcelain includes plates, bowls, cups, holders, bottles, pots, cans and Zhuzi.

There are many plain surfaces without decoration. After the mid-Tang Dynasty, especially in the late Tang and Five Dynasties, decoration methods such as sculpture, stacking, printing, engraving, edge pressing, ribbing, and flower mouth also appeared in Xing kiln wares.

Xing Kiln Porcelain with a base designation belongs to fine white porcelain, which is used for official or royal use.

The characteristic is that "Ying", "Hanlin" or "Hanlin" are engraved on the bottom of the porcelain.

The word "Hanlin" is engraved on the bottom, which is the porcelain that was ordered to be fired in Xing Kiln by the Hanlin Academy in the Tang Dynasty.

It is common in modern times to be engraved on the jar, and it is not ruled out that there is no "Hanlin" on the bowl;
The utensils engraved with the word "Ying" are porcelains that were ordered to be fired in the Xing Kiln by Dayingku in the Tang Dynasty.

The word "Ying" is the abbreviation of the Great Ying Treasury in the palace of the Tang Dynasty (royal private treasury).

The inscription "Ying" is often found on the white glazed bowls of Xing Kiln, and it cannot be ruled out that there is no inscription "Ying" on the pots, but there are few unearthed ones.

There are still many porcelain and kiln furniture fragments unearthed from the Xing Kiln site, reaching more than 20 pieces (pieces).

Complete and recoverable artifacts, approximately over 2 pieces.

The types of utensils include bricks, tiles, pottery, biscuit ware, tri-color ware, porcelain, bronze ware, iron ware, bone ware and kiln furniture.

Rich types and different shapes.

Previously, I made ten pieces of rare Chinese national treasure porcelain, among which there are baby pillows and double gourd vases.

The three-color sleeping rabbit-shaped pillow from Xing Kiln is not a baby pillow, but it is also a porcelain pillow, and it is still a pictographic porcelain, which is not much different from a baby pillow.

The three-color lying rabbit pillow is one of the Tang tri-color pillows with the characteristics of the Xing kiln. Its shape is vivid and unique, and its craftsmanship is exquisite. At present, no other kilns have the same shape.

The rabbit is round and plump, with its eyes open and lying prone on the oval seat, with an oval pillow on its back, engraved with lotus flowers, and glazed in blue, green and brown.

Among them, the blue glaze is extremely unique and rare, and it is a rare treasure of Tang Sancai.

This kind of Tang Sancai is both beautiful and precious.

Especially the rabbit is so cute, if you want to generate economic benefits, it is too easy.

It is no wonder that this kind of works have been sought after by Westerners since the discovery of Tang Sancai.

Tang Sancai, which is colorful and vivid in shape, will be liked by anyone who does not want it to be a funeral vessel.

To make a rabbit-shaped pillow, in addition to mixing glaze, the second thing is to look at manual techniques.

Chen Wenzhe was too confident in this point, so he easily made a cute rabbit.

Then there is glazing. Many people definitely don’t know how to apply glazing in Tang Sancai.

To apply a glaze, the glaze must first be mixed.

The reason why Tang Sancai is famous is mainly because of the glaze technology.

The first is the preparation of glazes. The glazes used to make three-color glazes in the Tang Dynasty were mainly metal oxides.

Artisans smashed lead, iron, copper and other metals into thin slices, and put them into iron pots to heat and oxidize.

After the oxides are taken out, they are ground, screened, rinsed with water, and the smallest powder is used, and quartz powder is added in proportion, and mixed with water.

The main components of the three-color glaze are silicate, lead oxide, iron oxide, copper oxide, cobalt oxide, manganese oxide and other raw materials.

Can prepare white, yellow, green, brown, blue, black and so on.

With careful blending, glaze colors such as emerald green, dark green, tender green, dark green, yellow, yellowish brown, sky blue, navy blue, maroon, brown, etc. can be blended out. Masters can definitely do whatever they want.

For example, the Tang Sancai rhombus-shaped pots in the living utensils, the body of which is covered with brown-yellow glaze and diamond grids composed of continuous white spots.

The interior is interlaced with yellow and white glaze flowers on blue glaze and blue and white glaze flowers on green glaze.

After firing, coupled with the natural flow of the glaze, it presents an artistic effect of colorful mottled.

There are also many methods of glazing Tang Sancai, which vary with time, place and vessel.

But in general, it can be summarized into the method of glazing in different areas, the method of spot dyeing and color melting, and the method of adding color and pasting gold.

The divisional glazing method is like combining several single-color vessels, but it is different from single-color vessels.

Because several kinds of glaze colors are applied to one vessel at the same time, the combination and blending of glaze colors creates a new realm.
