Chapter 1967 Jieshou Painted Pottery
After the Yuan Dynasty, Jieshou painted pottery absorbed the decoration techniques and decorative content of the popular local woodblock New Year pictures and paper-cut appliques.

At this time, the techniques of depiction and flower picking appeared, and initially formed its own unique artistic style.

From the late Qing Dynasty to the period of the Republic of China, Jieshou painted pottery, on the basis of inheriting the early pottery making skills, was also influenced by the art of opera at that time, and the decoration content became more colorful.

In addition to flowers, birds, fish and insects, a large number of character scene paintings based on traditional repertoires appeared.

Scribing and flower picking decoration techniques are more common.

In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Jieshou painted pottery received the care and support of the government.

Famous kiln workers Lu Shanyi and Lu Shanzhi were sent to the mass art research class of the East China Branch of the Chinese Academy of Fine Arts, which greatly improved their painting and blank-making levels.

In 1954, Mr. Lu Shanyi established a pottery production cooperative, which was renamed Jieshou Craft Ceramics Factory in 1958.

In 1954, the "Plastic Art" of the Suzhou Oriental Art Museum published a photo of the three-color "sword horse man" wine jar made by Mr. Lu Shanyi, which received a great response internationally.

Some countries in Eastern Europe are vying to collect his works.

Mr. Lu Shanyi was also rated as a national outstanding folk artist by the my country Folk Artists Association, and he is as famous as Zisha artist Gu Jingzhou and other masters.

From the later period to the early 20s, my country's culture and art were reborn, and Jieshou painted pottery also ushered in a spring of art.

Under the guidance of Mr. Han Meilin, a famous arts and crafts artist, Jieshou Craft Ceramics Factory has developed a series of silicon boron colored glazes.

Such as black gold glaze, golden sand glaze, peacock blue glaze, rose red glaze and so on.

These replaced the original lead glaze, and at the same time changed the pottery from low-temperature type to high-temperature type (the kiln temperature reached about 1000 ℃).

These porcelain bodies and glazes are more tightly combined than before, and the colored glazes are more beautiful.

Products are exported to Eastern Europe, the United States, Japan, Hong Kong and other countries and regions.

Mr. Lu Shanyi's "three-color engraved vat" also won the high-quality product award of the Ministry of Light Industry and the Hundred Flowers Award for Arts and Crafts in 1984.

Tracing back the history of the evolution of the decorative techniques of Jieshou painted pottery, it can be divided into three periods.

The first period is the initial period of Jieshou painted pottery.

Strictly speaking, the pottery at this time cannot be called painted pottery, but can only be called plain fired pottery.

Due to the lack of production tools, the ancestors could only use their smart brains and hard-working hands to knead the mud and shape it, and use firewood to fire it at low temperature to produce plain fired pottery without glaze;
The pottery made of mud strips, the natural stripes become a unique decorative pattern.

The second period is the flower carving period of Jieshou painted pottery.

At this time, the ancestors had already started to use the pottery wheel, using the external force of their feet to make the pottery wheel rotate at a constant speed, put the mud on the wheel, and use their hands skillfully to pull out the ever-changing pottery tires;
After drying, apply white clay to the tread, and then let it dry until it is half dry. Use iron sticks or bamboo sticks to carve flowers, birds, fish and insects on the tread, and then apply lead clay glazes.

Dry it and put it in a kiln, and burn it with firewood for three or four days to get crystal clear three-color painted pottery.

The content of its depiction is mostly flowers and birds in nature.

Because the neck or bottom of the jar is engraved with two continuous patterns with the theme of flowers, it is called carved pottery;

After being fired in the kiln, the pottery body is ocher red, decorated with emerald green and earthy yellow glaze colors, and naturally forms a three-color glaze. The combination of the two is the three-color carved pottery.

The third period is the depiction period of Jieshou painted pottery.

After hundreds of years of practice from the second period, pottery artists gradually enriched the painted pottery themes.

In addition to flowers, birds, fish and insects, traditional drama scenes such as "Broken Hongzhou", "Battle Qin Qiong", "The Case of Guillotine Beauty" and so on are also "moved" to the pottery altar;
In terms of expressive techniques, techniques such as picking, engraving, and scraping are used to make the picture more colorful and depict the theme more vividly.

The decorative techniques of painted pottery in this period have been continued.

Its decoration technique mainly lies in two points, one is to describe the particularity of tools.

Using knife and needle instead of writing, ticking, engraving and scraping simultaneously, so that the picture can produce black, white and gray artistic effects;

There is no other example of this traditional technique in the domestic pottery industry.

The second is the compatibility of regional folk art. The decorative art features of Jieshou painted pottery not only has the line engraving expression of local woodblock New Year pictures, but also absorbs the characteristics of the combination of lines and surfaces of Jieshou paper-cutting. Ingenuity.

Jieshou painted pottery inherits the legacy of Tang Sancai, and also absorbs the artistic style of paper-cutting and woodblock New Year pictures, forming its own genre in pottery making skills.

In the production of the tread, Jieshou painted pottery is decorated with two layers of make-up soil, showing two basic contrasting colors of ochre, yellow or ochre, and white during the depiction process;
In terms of depicting themes, in addition to taking flowers, birds, fish, and insects as the objects of creation, it also focuses on absorbing artistic elements from traditional operas.

Expressed in the form of scenes, Lu Shanyi's "Sword Horseman" series is its representative;
In terms of firing, Jieshou painted pottery is first dehumidified and then fired.

The temperature is generally 700 to 800 degrees Celsius, and the finished product is brick-red painted pottery, which can be glazed after biscuit firing.

That is, it is coated with a glaze containing lead, silicon dioxide, and silt, and then placed in a pottery sagger.

Gradually increase the temperature to 1000 to 1050 degrees Celsius, and burn for two days and two nights. The finished product is Jieshou painted pottery with red background and white flowers.

Jieshou painted pottery embodies the honest and simple character of the farmers, and the aesthetic appeal of being clumsy and ingenious, and reflects the aesthetic trend of Chinese folk art advocating nature and pursuing harmony.

Such works of art are very popular in domestic and foreign markets. The British Museum of Victoria has a collection of Jieshou three-color pottery.

Jieshou painted pottery is bright and eye-catching, with rich colors, and is very popular among Europeans.

Not long after the founding of the People's Republic of China, leaders of many countries like to bring Jieshou painted pottery and give it to important officials in some countries such as the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe.

The unique art of modeling and decoration of Jieshou painted pottery is composed of many elements.

Such as the unconscious application of the golden ratio, the processing of space, the layout of the screen and so on.

The best combination of its multiple elements creates the unique artistic personality of Jieshou painted pottery.

However, Jieshou painted pottery is the crystallization of human beings' continuous observation, discovery, refinement and creation in long-term production practice and social life;

From simple imitation and characterization to comprehensive artistic creation, from accidental discovery to proficient mastery, after repeated practice, inspiration and rules, the principle of creating beauty can be summed up.

Therefore, the beauty of symmetry, balance and decoration of Jieshou painted pottery is a collection of beauty originating from life and rooted in the local area.

The main material of Jieshou painted pottery is taken from the clay layer on both sides of the Ying River.

Therefore, it also possesses local and national characteristics.

Thus formed the "Jieshou Painted Pottery" with individuality and unique artistic language.

The shape of Jieshou painted pottery is mostly round. According to research, there are two decisive factors for the round shape.

First, it comes from the folk customs here.

"Tao" has the homonym of "dao", and "Yuan" has the meaning of "reunion and roundness".
