Chapter 531 Ancient Black Technology
Chapter 530 Two Ancient Black Technology
Li Junge said: "In natural villages dominated by the small-scale peasant economy, some villagers will break away from the traditional farming mode and become professional workers because of their specialties. For example, in our village, there are bamboo craftsmen, stonemasons, pharmacists, and hunters."

"Their skills are actually very superb, even to the point of perfection. Uncle Bamboo Carpenter in our village, his handmade bamboo fishing rod was auctioned at a Japanese auction for a high price of 30 million yuan , and the inkstone made by Uncle Shitou is now around [-] RMB per square, which is already the price of a top-level artwork, and it is also the market’s recognition of their craftsmanship.”

"The hunters in our village, in our local area, should be more accurately translated as Mountain Runer. They have a set of rules and laws that have been passed down for thousands of years to get along with nature, almost rising to the height of religion."

"From the sacrificial activities before entering the mountain, to the route into the mountain, the season, then to clothing, footwear, footwork, matching tools, weapons, and the matching ratio of hunting dogs; until the selection of prey: type, gender, size, rarity , Whether it is parenting period, there is a whole set of code of conduct;”

"It can be said that they are the people who know our mountains best, and also the people who know how to get along with nature. I think their set of guidelines is a complete set of "Local Wildlife Protection Law" and "Local Wildlife Protection Law". The Environmental Protection Law is even more distinctive than national laws, more flexible and scientific, and more adaptable to our local natural environment."

Bell was surprised at this moment: "Really? Your village still has such a heritage? I always thought that China's protection of environmental resources was secondary to development."

Li Junge smiled wryly and said: "This is actually a misunderstanding. Qin, the first unified dynasty in our country, had enacted laws before BC, including detailed regulations on land reclamation, and even the seasons and places for cutting trees and catching birds. Cutting down trees, catching birds and opening up wasteland at inappropriate times and places will lead to severe punishment!"

"Our country has indeed caused some misunderstandings for the development of our country in recent years. But I believe that no one would like to live in a smoky environment. Green mountains and green waters are what everyone yearns for."

"This principle is simple and straightforward. Under this premise, the situation will eventually get better and better. Do you think about it?"

The three hosts couldn't help nodding.

Li Junge continued: "Back to our village, the education we have received since we were young is not to harm chicks, not to catch fish with dense nets, not to poison, not to bomb, not to electrify."

"This year, our village also released 10,000+ fish fry into the waters in front of the village. Among them, four kinds of local rare fish accounted for one-third of the number; the fishing ban period was adjusted according to the local fish breeding situation;"

"We have also transplanted tens of thousands of rare orchids in the back mountain forest; opened up a protection zone for Cymbidium spinosa, a breeding base for golden camellia, and a breeding base for rare orchids;"

"We have introduced universities with strong teaching staff, and established research bases for rare medicinal plants and ecological agriculture. Integrating scientific research, species protection, and resource utilization is to better utilize and protect the resource environment."

A Yin interjected: "As for our village, the requirements for this aspect are stricter than those of Jungle and others. For thousands of years, we have been cultivating terraced fields, which effectively protects the fertility of the soil and prevents soil erosion. The green and ecological planting method grows local native varieties of rice, and intercropping fish in the field, never using chemical fertilizers and pesticides."

Lu En and Bell were stunned in surprise: "There is such a place in China?!"

Li Junge smiled at Bell and said, "Hearing is believing, seeing is believing. Ingris and their village's planting method has been led down the mountain by us this year to Lijiagou Village."

"What I want to say here is that we Chinese people have been working hard. Everyone should be well-informed, see the facts clearly with your own eyes, distinguish right from wrong with your own judgment, and look at the world with an open and tolerant attitude. This is the most important thing. important."

Nian said: "I believe what Jungle and Ingris just said, because our country has sent a delegation to the city where your village is located, mainly to discuss cooperation in lacquer processing, bamboo weaving handicrafts, and the development of freshwater ornamental fish breeding."

Li Junge and A Yin looked at each other, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes. A Yin smiled and said, "I never thought that our participation in the show could bring such benefits to our hometown. It's really great!"

Nian smiled and said, "It's not just your hometown that has gained something. Don't forget, our show has prizes! But Ingris has to change clothes to show it."

Ayin whispered into Li Junge's ear, "Erpi, I have already forgotten the purpose of our participation in the show, that red motorcycle!"

Li Junge scratched the back of his head, grinning and said, "If I don't mention it, I'll forget about it!"

The staff invited Ah Yin to go down to change clothes, while Li Junge and his team continued to be interviewed.

The conversation turned again to salt and porcelain.

Lu En said: "Jungle, your knowledge system is very complicated. You just told me that you live in a mountainous village in the inland area of ​​China, where there is no sea, right? Why do you still have such complicated seawater purification technology?"

Li Junge said with a smile: "Although we are not close to the sea, our ancestors were able to drill through the rock formation as early as the Han Dynasty, oh, 200 BC, and extract mineralized minerals from hundreds of meters underground. High brine is used to produce refined salt.”

Now Lu En fainted again: "Underground... a few hundred meters... BC..."

Li Junge said: "Yes, my technique of using mud balls to thicken seawater comes from an area near my hometown. The mountain people there have known this method for a long time, and it is called the 'splashing stove and printing stove' technique."

Nian nodded and said, "Well, I also used grass ash replacement method to replace a large amount of sodium salt in the wet mud. My God, I can understand the technical terms."

Li Junge smiled and said, "Congratulations, but this method is a processing technology from coastal areas."

Nian said, "Wait, you just said you live in the outback..."

Li Junge smiled and said: "Don't forget that we still have thousands of years of cultural classics. In the Song Dynasty, there was a scholar-type literati named Shen Kuo. He wrote a book called "Mengxi Bi Tan."

"In the Ming Dynasty, there was another scholar-type literati named Song Yingxing. He also wrote a book called "Heavenly Creation of Things."

"Part of my techniques for making fishhooks, pottery, porcelain, and extracting salt in the program all come from these two books. Of course, due to limited conditions, only a small part is shown."

"According to the book, the Chinese thousands of years ago even learned the technique of adding iron ore powder to pig iron water with too high carbon content to produce steel in large quantities. This method is called the 'steel filling method'."

Lu En said in surprise: "As far as I know, your country paid more attention to humanities in ancient times..."

Li Junge smiled and said: "Yes, it is indeed as you said, but there are so many ancient books! Among the vast sea of ​​ancient books, even if the proportion is small, the number is quite large."

"For example, "Qi Min Yao Shu" in 500 AD is a monograph on agriculture; for example, "Zao Fa Shi" in 1000 AD is a monograph on construction; there is also "Shen Nong's Herbal Classic", which is a monograph on traditional Chinese medicine; "Records" is a monograph on handicrafts; there are also "Shui Jing Zhu" about geography, "Gande Star Book" about astronomy and calendar calculations, and "Zhou Bi Suan Jing" about arithmetic..."

"Each category contains dozens or even hundreds of monographs. They are not old papers or ashes. As long as you are interested, you can always find what you want."

Nian was also inexplicably surprised: "There are so many, let alone whether you can understand it, can you finish it?"

Li Junge smiled and said: "It's still the same sentence, one person can't read it all, but it can't stand the fact that there are so many people in our country!"

"There are always people who will choose their favorite category to research, dig, and restore."

"Now that people's aesthetic taste has generally improved, more and more intangible cultural heritage has been restored. For example, Jianzhan, straw ash glazed porcelain, and some special ancient papermaking techniques..."

"We are in the Lijiagou area, and we have restored many traditional intangible cultural heritages, such as female red, stone carving, bamboo art, coal-sand clay pottery, wooden building production, and nine-douwan banquet, and the market prospects are still very good."

Lu En said: "Just now I thought of another question. You once said that your place has a subtropical climate, which is relatively hot and humid. Will extracting salt consume a lot of fuel?"

Li Junge said with a smile: "If our village wants to raise salt, this problem does exist. But in the Ziliujing area, a famous salt-producing area in our province, it is not a problem."

"Because the people there, when digging through the underlying rock formations to obtain brine, they also dug a fire well and obtained natural gas. They used the natural gas to boil salt for 2000 years, and the fire well has not been extinguished until now..."

Now Lu En fainted again: "God... natural gas..."

This is definitely a proper ancient black technology!

Bell said: "The porcelain you make is also very exquisite. Those big bowls are the famous blue and white porcelain, right?"

Li Junge was embarrassed: "Uh, it's not. Due to the limitation of the clay, the porcelain I made was very rough, and those small bowls could barely be said to be in line with the traditional Yuezhou kiln techniques in our country. The kiln has changed, so it has become more beautiful..."

Lu En was very interested in these things close to art, and said: "Wait, what is kiln transformation?"

Li Junge said: "Kiln change refers to the natural change in the uncertainty of the surface glaze color that occurs during the firing process of porcelain. It is generally caused by unexpected factors or changes such as temperature, gas, glaze impurities in the kiln."

"This batch of small bowls is probably caused by adding and reducing the fire several times during the firing process in order to obtain sufficient temperature and at the same time ensure a strong reducing environment."

"I don't know the specific reason. Let me fire it again, and I may get a completely different result."

"One is the failure of the kiln transformation, and the porcelain obtained is called kiln disease porcelain, and the other is success, and the porcelain obtained is called kiln treasure."

Only then did Lu En nod: "It turns out that such a miraculous thing happened, then this small bowl is a masterpiece of God, a perfect combination of artificial and natural! They must belong to kiln treasures!"
