My system is not decent

Chapter 689 I still underestimate it
It is an irreversible fact that the Yuedi kiln has declined year by year.

In 1990, after the founding of the Northern Song Dynasty, Ru Kiln, the only official kiln in the Northern Song Dynasty, came from behind, thus ending the history of secret color porcelain as "imperial porcelain" from the middle and late Tang to the middle of the Northern Song Dynasty.

In the first and fourth years of Shaoxing, the Mingtang Sacrificial Vessels fired for the royal family of the Southern Song Dynasty became the last glory of Yue Kiln.

The glory of Yue Kiln has disappeared, but the kiln workers will not disappear.

Also, any technology will not come out of thin air, such as the Bao Shao technology in the Northern Song Dynasty.

This technology must have a development process.

Obviously, the treasure burning in the Song Dynasty was probably developed from the secret color porcelain.

Or, it inherited part of the secret color porcelain technology.

This is also a helpless choice, because the secret technology of secret color porcelain is too strong.

During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, the Qian Dynasty of the Wuyue Kingdom ordered that the Yue Kiln could only burn utensils dedicated to the royal family.

The products at that time were strictly controlled by the government, and they were hardly popular among the people, and the glaze formula and firing process were not circulated.

During this period, Yue kiln celadon was called secret color porcelain.

These secret-colored porcelains entered Qian's palace, and after the death of members of the Qian's royal family, some of the secret-colored porcelains were buried underground.

Since the Song Dynasty, with the decline of the Yue Kiln, the secret color porcelain has finally withdrawn from the stage of history.

The history of secret color porcelain has also become a secret and beautiful memory.

Since then, it seems that the secret color porcelain has lost its trace.

During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, there were mountains of rare treasures in the palace, and there was nothing missing, except for a piece of secret-colored porcelain.

Emperor Qianlong once wrote a poem and sighed: "There is no such thing as Li Tangyue in the world, and Zhao Song's official kiln is like a star."

He regretted that he was the emperor and rich all over the world, but he didn't have the chance to see the beauty of the secret color porcelain.

In fact, there are two sides to one thing. Maybe the secret color porcelain has been handed down without you knowing it?
The appearance of the secret color porcelain is like ice and jade, revealing a dark green color, mainly celadon glaze!
Are these characteristics familiar?

What are the characteristics of Ru Kiln?Green as the sky, face as jade, cicada wing patterns, morning stars sparse?

It is said that Ru porcelain is simple and elegant in shape, glazed with precious agate, and has a unique color, which has been praised as "agate is glazed from ancient times".

Its characteristics are also very obvious, changing with the light, looking at its glaze color, it is as wonderful as "the sky is clear after rain", and "thousands of peaks are green and green".

Then the soil is fine and moist, the body is like Dong body, the glaze is thick and the sound is like a chime, bright but not dazzling.

In fact, if nothing else is said, just look at the two lines of poems describing "the rain is over, the sky is clear and the clouds are **" and "thousands of peaks and blue waves are green", and you can see how similar it is to the image of the secret color porcelain. !

In the history of Chinese ceramics, learning, imitation, acceptance, competition and mutual learning among kilns have never stopped.

Before Ru kiln celadon, Yue kiln had experienced a long history of celadon production, and achieved brilliant achievements in the Tang and Song dynasties.

The Yue kiln secret-color porcelain with high quality and artistic level was all the rage in the Tang and Song Dynasties. Chinese and foreign celadon kilns rushed to imitate it, and Ru kiln celadon was no exception.

There are various indications that there is an inseparable connection between the Ru kiln celadon and the Yue kiln secret color porcelain.

However, none of these can be proved, because the Ru Kiln originated in the north, while the Yue Kiln was in the south.

In fact, there is no need for Chen Wenzhe to prove these, because many people have explored them.

Ru kiln celadon and Yue kiln secret color porcelain pursue the same aesthetic style.

The sensual enjoyment brought by the light azure color of Ru porcelain is easy to remind people of words such as "bright moon", "green water", "fang grass" and "spring water" in Song Ci.

How similar is this to the glaze color effects of "like bright moon and spring water" and "like thin ice and green clouds" pursued by Yue kiln secret color porcelain?
Of course, Chen Wenzhe is not interested in these inherited histories, what he is interested in is the inheritance.

He now has the inheritance of Yue Kiln Celadon and Yue Kiln Secret Color Porcelain, and Ru Kiln also got a part, not the best, but there are.

However, he did not learn.

This part of inheritance comes from the last exhibition held by the Dahai City Collectors Association, which contained a piece of Ru kiln celadon.

I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but after searching for relevant information, I saw it again.

That is to say, he has collected all the inheritance system of celadon porcelain from Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, except for the firewood kiln technology.

In fact, looking back now, some ancient technologies are really good.

However, if the research is thorough, that's all.

For example, the secret color porcelain of Yue kiln mainly needs to increase the temperature, and finally complete the final transformation in the sagger.

Such a thing is not difficult to accomplish with modern technology.

However, in ancient times, one could only know what it was, and without knowing why, it was fired secretly.

The final color of the porcelain depends on the china clay, glaze color and temperature.

Depending on the temperature, the ingredients in the enamel will undergo different chemical reactions and present different colors.

Therefore, if you want to fire secret-color porcelain, you must strictly control the selection of porcelain clay, glaze color composition, and temperature.

How to control it is the exclusive secret of Yue Kiln, and it is reasonable that it is not known to outsiders.

After all, no one's technology is conjured out of thin air. Self-interest is everyone's instinctive choice.

However, now this technology has really changed out of thin air.

Chen Wenzhe didn't have to pay anything, and got such a technology and secret recipe for nothing!
At this time, he already knew very well that the secret color porcelain had to be fired in a single piece, that is, the porcelain was loaded in a sagger, and a sagger could only hold one piece of porcelain.

Afterwards, it must be covered with glaze and fired with pads, which can effectively eliminate defects caused by open fire and overlapping firing, and improve the quality of porcelain.

To this extent, the "secret" of secret color porcelain lies not only in the top secret of its production method, but also in its high cost.

In fact, why bother to get green color?

Meiziqing is a very good emerald color, but unfortunately, it was only invented in the Southern Song Dynasty, not to mention the Tang Dynasty, even the Northern Song Dynasty could not be fired.

Shaking his head, he left the sagger with both hands.

Although he was optimistic about this sagger before, he still underestimated him.

From the very beginning, people have selected excellent materials, and at the end of the production, they are also very careful.

This is a cylindrical sagger with a cover and the whole body covered with green glaze.

If you look closely, you can also see that there is a glaze seal between the lid and the jar.

And now, apparently, it's all sintered together.

Turning around, Chen Wenzhe could see fine dark engravings from the outside of the sagger, most of which are dragon and phoenix patterns.

With such a pattern, it represents its identity.

It is very likely that it appeared at that time for the purpose of firing official kiln tributes!

Looking at the bottom, it must be a bit exposed.

From here, you can see its essence.

Its fetal mud must be more delicate and pure than ordinary porcelain, and its density is also high.

The glaze color is very smooth and thick, although it can't achieve the effect of ice and jade, it can be regarded as top celadon.

Of course, this can only be regarded as the top celadon of the Tang Dynasty.
