My system is not decent

The imitation turquoise glaze was fired from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty and was still fired until the end of the Qing Dynasty.

It also belongs to low-temperature glazed porcelain, and its shape is mostly plume.

These are rare porcelains created on the basis of unique glaze colors.

Of course, there are many domestically produced glazes, and more special ones.

The blue and white, underglaze red and so on mentioned before are all familiar glazes.

If it is more special, there are more, but these glazes are a bit niche.

Being a minority does not mean that it is not precious, especially among porcelain, the fine works of the minority are even more precious.

For example, raindrop glaze is a kind of porcelain that is difficult to fire.

It gets its name because the glaze is full of metallic luster crystals, which look like raindrops splashing down.

The raindrop glaze originated in the Tang Dynasty and matured in the Song Dynasty. Qilu Boshan Raindrop Glaze is the most famous.

Raindrop glaze is called "the wonder of China and the mystery of ceramics" by guests at home and abroad for its quiet, elegant, dignified and noble artistic style.

The first-class raindrop glaze is deep and heavy, the glaze bottom is black and sub-bright, and the glaze surface is smooth.

The silver star points are full and well-proportioned, the crystals are round and shiny, the crystal points are as big as beans and as small as millet, resembling the water circle spots that raindrops fall into the water, and it is also known as "oil drop glaze" in ancient times.

The products produced are elegant and unique, full of fun, and the production technology has reached an unprecedented level, and are regarded as treasures by collectors at home and abroad.

In fact, this glaze color is a special variety of black glaze, which belongs to crystal glaze.

Founded in the Song Dynasty, it has the characteristics of typical kiln construction.

Limestone is generally used to match the glaze, and iron is used as the coloring agent.

The green body is glazed, put into the kiln and fired to a certain temperature, the iron in the glaze forms crystals, and aggregates into a new shape of black oil droplets.

After cooling down and extinguishing, the crystalline particles remain in the glaze layer, which has a unique decorative effect.

Chen Wenzhe paid attention to the raindrop glaze two years ago, and he asked Li Jinli to help him collect relevant materials.

Not the raw materials for making raindrop glaze, but everything related to raindrop glaze, or everything related to the production of raindrop glaze porcelain.

For example, he has one in his hand, a portable snuff bottle of a master of arts and crafts who can make raindrop glazed porcelain.

This master is an unknown master of arts and crafts hidden among the people, who passed away at the end of the 80s.

The 70s and [-]s were the peak of his artistic career.

During this period, the red snuff bottle he left behind brought Chen Wenzhe a great surprise.

At first, he thought this snuff bottle was a piece of jade, and it was a very rare red jade, or blood jade.

But after he looked carefully, he found that it seemed to be colored glaze, which was artificially fired, which made people feel very incredible.

Chen Wenzhe knows "Boshan Liuli", and also knows that his hometown is very famous for this product.

This is fired from the rich local horse tooth stone, purple stone, Lingzi stone, nitrate, coal, etc. in Boshan.

Of course, it must be produced using traditional techniques unique to the region.

This kind of colored glaze has Chinese characteristics. It is represented by precious pigments such as chicken oil yellow, chicken liver stone, bright red, foreign green, etc., and colored glaze products made by traditional techniques such as colored glaze casing carving, inner painting, lamp work, and silk laying. .

Boshan colored glaze mainly includes glazed vases, decorative flower balls, and smoke bottles with inner paintings of the Qilu School of Painting.

Others include "chicken liver stone", "chicken oil yellow", golden red, turquoise green, nesting carving, bead jewelry, imitation jade, imitation agate glaze and lampwork glaze.

Its production skills are now included in the list of representative items of national intangible cultural heritage.

The glazed snuff bottle in Chen Wenzhe's hand is not a simple Boshan glazed painting.

It is not easy to open Boshan glazed engraving and painting. This craft is made of the blank of Boshan glazed ware with traditional techniques such as line engraving, embossing and painting. It is a glazed product with Chinese characteristics.

From the Yuan, Ming, and Qing Dynasties to the Republic of China, the art of glass engraving and painting was passed down in the form of workshops.

After 1951, a cooperative and an art Liuli Factory were established, bringing together veteran artists of various crafts in the Liuli industry.

This generation has their own unique skills and is an important inheritor of Liuli.

Today, under the training of old artists, a new generation of colored glaze artists has gradually mastered the traditional skills of colored glaze carving and painting, and a large number of national and provincial arts and crafts masters and colored glaze artists represented by Xin Desheng have emerged.

The blood-red glazed snuff bottle in Chen Wenzhe's hand is a craftsman of the older generation.

Through this snuff bottle, Chen Wenzhe inspected his whole life.

This old artist is really not simple, he knows a lot of things.

For example, cooking, because Chen Wenzhe saw that he spends more time as a chef.

In other words, handicraft is not the main job for him to support his family.

The main job of this veteran artist is a cook, and his hobbies include glaze firing, engraving, paper cutting, and even gongs and drums.

By going back to the master's life, Chen Wenzhe really learned a lot of master-level skills.

For example, Boshan's carmine colored glaze firing technique, his snuff bottle is a product of the carmine colored glaze firing technique.

Carmine first appeared on porcelain and flourished in the Qing Dynasty.

Because this kind of red material was introduced from Europe, it is called "magenta red" or "western red".

In the west, it is often called "rose red" and "rose red".

This color is quite like the rouge color of women's makeup, so it is also called "carmine".

"Carmine" has been called "precious pigment" since the Ming and Qing Dynasties because it is difficult to smelt and the ingredients are expensive.

Surprisingly, the ingenious Boshan glass craftsmen applied the beautiful carmine to the glass, exuding a different brilliance.

Historically, it was the Qianlong period when carmine was truly used freely and widely popularized;
Carmine colored glaze was popularized widely and in large quantities during the Qianlong period. At the same time, Boshan colored glaze was used as an "imperial kiln" to transport colored glaze products to the court.

Now Boshan rouge glass firing skills are also included in the list of representative items of intangible cultural heritage of Qilu Province.

At the same time, Boshan gongs and drums are also one of the intangible heritage.

Boshan gongs and drums are majestic, changeable rhythms, bright timbres, cheerful ups and downs, and are quite distinctive.

It originated from the rural gongs and drums in the Jianghuai area of ​​my country. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it flourished in Jiangsu, Hangzhou and the vast rural areas of northern Jiangsu.

Introduced in the early Qing Dynasty, it was initially called "Lijiayao Gong and Drum".

In the middle of the Qing Dynasty, Boshan City became an important industrial and commercial town, and the development of commerce and trade brought cultural prosperity.

At this time, Lijiayao gongs and drums entered the peak period of development, and many new drums came into being.

At the same time, its spread has expanded to central and northern Qilu and other regions, and it is widely used in activities such as making Lantern Festival, celebrating harvest, gatherings, praying for rain, offering sacrifices, and weddings and funerals.

Later, it was used in major festivals and opening ceremonies.

From then on, the name of "Lijiayao Gonggu" was replaced by "Boshan Gonggu".

It's fine if you don't study it carefully, but after really studying it, Chen Wenzhe discovered that this master is simply the best inheritor of intangible culture.
