How did I become an old artist?

Chapter 13 Impossible Craft!Orthodox ancient law!
Southern Song Dynasty Official Kiln Museum.

Sun Maohai, a master craftsman who fired official kiln porcelain, was wiping the surface dust of several pieces of porcelain.

He uses a special cloth, which is soft and delicate, and will not cause any damage to the porcelain.

He has been burning porcelain for more than ten years, concentrating his life's efforts in porcelain.

At this time, his apprentice Wu Lu suddenly ran in in a panic.

"Master, my friend saw a video on the Internet today. There are folk craftsmen firing official kiln porcelain, and the firing is very beautiful."

As soon as Wu Lu entered the exhibition hall, he immediately said to Sun Maohai.

Hearing Wu Lu's words, Sun Maohai didn't take it seriously, but said: "Stop looking at things on the Internet. Many people say that they are craftsmen, but they just know how to make a fuss and sensationalize them. They can't even pull blanks well. They are all flaw."

"Also, how many porcelain blanks did you make last week, and how many pieces can meet the standard after repairing?"

Faced with Sun Maohai's questioning, Wu Lu scratched his head and said, "25 pieces have been made, and [-] pieces can meet the standard."

Then, Wu Lu thought for a while, handed over the phone again, and said, "Master, please watch this video. His drawing and trimming are very good, and the process of glazing is also very professional."

"This man is very powerful."

Seeing Wu Lu's insistence, Sun Maohai took the phone and played the video on the phone.

The video on the phone is Zhao Chenchuan's video at Station B.

At the beginning of the video, it is Zhao Chen who is popularizing the aesthetic characteristics and production methods of Southern Song Dynasty official kiln porcelain.

The video is beautiful and the transitions are beautiful.

And Zhao Chen also knows that people are not very patient nowadays, so the explanation part didn't take too much time.

Then, it was Zhao Chen's casting process.

The rotating clay slowly turned into a jade bottle with a narrow mouth in his hands. The overall shape was perfect, and there was not even a single flaw that could be picked out.

The video cut quickly, and Zhao Chen made the other four porcelain blanks in succession.

Sun Maohai's face was full of amazement.

"This young man's skills are really good, he is a good seedling."

"Wu Lu, you haven't worked hard yet. This man looks like he's just over 20 years old, and his casting skills are so proficient. It's a good thing you're still an official kiln porcelain apprentice working in the museum."

While admiring Sun Maohai, he hated Wu Lu's education that iron is not made of steel.

Wu Lu could only nod his head repeatedly.

Then, the screen switched to several beautiful scenes.

Then, the next picture is Zhao Chen's glazed picture.

Seeing the cyan glaze in Zhao Chen's bucket, Sun Maohai immediately brought the phone closer and looked at it carefully.

"This glaze is very good, and the color is better than that matched by the museum."

Sun Maohai murmured in a low voice.

In the picture, Zhao Chen glazed and fired at low temperature many times, firing bit by bit, and fired back and forth a total of nine times.

Since it is a video, a large part of the glazed picture is omitted in the video.

You can only see the general appearance of Zhao Chen's glaze every time.

The more Sun Maohai watched, the more frightened he became, his pupils couldn't help but slightly dilated.

Sun Maohai naturally knew that Southern Song Dynasty official kiln porcelain needed to be fired many times, but he never understood why he did this. It is clear that a good glaze can be fired beautifully once.

For the kiln porcelain a few days ago, Sun Maohai only glazed it twice.

Thin body and thick glaze are typical characteristics of Southern Song Dynasty official kiln porcelain.Simply put, the wall of the porcelain body is very thin, and the glaze is very thick, so the fired porcelain is more restrained and atmospheric.

At the end of the video, there is a picture of Zhao Chen taking out five pieces of porcelain.

After the close-up of the five pieces of porcelain appeared on the screen, Sun Maohai paused.

He carefully looked at the porcelain in the video.

The color, shape, and glaze distribution are all perfect.

Moreover, it can be seen from the video that these five pieces of porcelain are all real top-quality official kiln porcelain.

After Sun Maohai finished watching the video, he remained silent.

From the technique, to the glaze color, to the finished product, everything is impeccable.

If the Southern Song official kiln porcelain in the video is true, then this person in the video may have had a huge impact on the history of official kiln porcelain!
"Is the porcelain in this video real?"

Finally, Sun Maohai couldn't help asking.

"I don't know either. This account is a new one, but it's gaining followers quite quickly." Wu Lu replied truthfully.

"The quality of this porcelain looks very good, and it belongs to the level of top-grade official kiln porcelain. But after all, it is a video, and it may be produced by P." Sun Maohai pondered for a while, and then said.

He couldn't believe it was real.

The ancient method of firing official kiln porcelain in the Southern Song Dynasty has long been lost. Unless the ancients came back to life, no one knows how to make the most orthodox official kiln porcelain in the Southern Song Dynasty!

"It would be great if I could see the real thing, but there is a high probability that this porcelain is fake, so don't pay too much attention to him."

Sun Maohai put down his phone.

At this time, the teller of the museum ran to the exhibition hall in the backyard and said to Sun Maohai: "Master Sun, Vice President Ding Wu is here, let you go over."

"Okay, I'll be right here."

Sun Maohai nodded, and immediately went outside to meet Ding Wu.

As soon as he walked into the living room, Sun Maohai saw Ding Wu pacing back and forth, as if he was in a hurry.

"President Ding, is there something wrong with the exhibition?" Sun Maohai asked immediately.

Hearing Sun Maohai's words, Ding Wu looked at Sun Maohai, and then said: "Master Sun, I bought five pieces of official kiln porcelain in the antique market yesterday, new and handmade, and I looked at them all night."

"Come and hold your eyes, this set of official kiln porcelain is so beautiful, I suspect it was made by the lost ancient method."

"But I'm not sure, so I want you to take a look."

Ancient firing?

Hearing Ding Wu's words, Sun Maohai raised his eyebrows.

"President Ding, the ancient methods of official kiln porcelain in the Southern Song Dynasty have been lost for thousands of years, and the current firing of official kiln porcelain is also passed down from the Qing Dynasty. It is impossible for new handmade official kiln porcelain to appear."

Sun Maohai replied with a smile.

While talking, Sun Maohai walked to the reception table and gently opened a gift box on the table.

Seeing the narrow-mouthed jade bottle in the gift box, Sun Maohai didn't pay much attention at first, but immediately, his eyes widened, and he froze in place as if struck by lightning!
"This china is."

Unbelievable, Sun Maohai opened the other four gift boxes.

Jade bottle, inkstone, small bowl, jade plate, jar

Five pieces of official kiln porcelain were neatly placed in a gift box.

Their bottle body is dark blue, densely covered with crystal fine lines, and contains a majestic aesthetic feeling, which makes people feel intoxicated at a glance.

These are the five pieces of official kiln porcelain.

It was exactly the same as what Sun Maohai saw on the video just now.

"This is impossible!" Sun Maohai felt his body trembling a little. He tried his best to stabilize his mind, but he still felt a little difficult to breathe.

"Master Sun, what's the matter?"

Seeing Sun Maohai's appearance, Ding Wu asked hurriedly.

Sun Maohai did not hear what Ding Wu was saying.

He carefully picked up the jade bottle in the gift box and examined it carefully.

His gaze was like a torch, like a pilgrim kneeling on the ground in the Potala Palace.

Ancient Southern Song official kiln porcelain handmade products, once again reappear in the world!
