How did I become an old artist?

Chapter 56 The authentic ancient method is as green as the sky, the face is as jade, and the morning stars are rare!

In the morning, Zhao Chen drove to Liu Hanlin's villa.

He found a hotel to stay in yesterday, and then contacted Liu Hanlin on the phone.

Liu Hanlin was full of praise for the Ru kiln porcelain he fired.

He really wanted to take a closer look at these pieces of Ru kiln porcelain.

Because, Liu Hanlin felt that these pieces of Ru kiln porcelain were very similar to genuine Southern Song Ru kilns.

If true, that would be unbelievable.

After all, starting from the Yuan Dynasty, the rulers of all dynasties wanted to restore the original appearance of Ru kiln porcelain, but without exception, they all failed.

Even under the current high-tech detection and analysis, people don't know how to burn out the color of "blue as the sky".

Moreover, the influence of Ru kilns among the people is much greater than that of official kilns.

The popularity of official kilns is relatively low, while Ru kilns are truly blooming everywhere.

Liu Hanlin now understands what Sun Maohai felt at that time.

A young craftsman was born and fired the lost ancient Judge Kiln and Ru Kiln.

This made him extremely excited.

The Southern Song Dynasty is about 900 years from now, and there has been no new ancient method Tianqing Ru Kiln in 900 years, and it is now reappearing.

This is another big event in the porcelain world.

Liu Hanlin and Sun Maohai have a very good relationship, and they have chatted several times in the past few days.

Liu Hanlin asked: "What is the background of this young man, and he has no teacher, why is his technique so exquisite, it looks like he has been burned for decades."

Sun Maohai replied: "I saw it at the scene, and his molding and glazing techniques are very sophisticated and well-founded. He said he learned it from some ancient books, and there is no other explanation."

Liu Hanlin was even more astonished, "We have been in this industry for more than half our lives, and we are already very talented, so we have our current status. But the talent talisman is far behind him."

Sun Maohai responded: "When I was in my early twenties, it was considered very good to be able to mold four or five top-quality blanks in a month. Fortunately, he produced five pieces on the spot, all of which were top-quality blanks."

The two old art masters sighed again and again.

For a long time, the waves behind push the waves ahead. This is an eternal truth.

But who would have thought that the back wave this time would be a huge wave.

Not to mention pushing forward, the entire industry is expected to be shaken.

At around ten o'clock in the morning, Zhao Chen drove into Liu Hanlin's villa.

Luxury cars come and go in this villa area, Zhao Chen's car looks a little more plain.

But he doesn't have that much spare money, so it doesn't matter.

When I have money, I will buy a better car.

Liu Hanlin and Liu Xi were waiting for him.

The porcelain that participated in the Ru Kiln Porcelain Exchange Conference will be temporarily sealed for a day after entering the evaluation site. Before the evaluation, Liu Hanlin wanted to see the details of these pieces of porcelain in advance, so he invited Zhao Chen over.

Zhao Chen got out of the car, then took porcelain down from the co-pilot, and said hello: "Master Liu."

"Master Zhao, thank you for your hard work. I originally planned to visit you like Sun Maohai, but Yuanyuan said that you agreed to come to the exchange meeting, so I will wait here." Liu Hanlin said politely.

"I'm very interested in this exchange conference, and I've always wanted to come to Jinde Town to take a look, just by the way." Zhao Chen replied with a smile.

Then, Zhao Chen asked curiously:

"Master Liu, what is the format of this exchange conference, is it like a porcelain exhibition?"

Liu Hanlin shook his head and explained: "There are many schools of Ru kiln porcelain craftsmen, mainly based on regions, and the most powerful one is of course the Ru kiln in Ruzhou."

"At that time, there will be seven art masters of Ru kiln porcelain as judges, and then they will rate the Ru kiln participating in the exchange conference in turn. Their works can also participate, but they cannot judge themselves."

"There will be many craftsmen present during the judging process, and the [-] pieces of porcelain selected in the end will be exhibited on site."

"These porcelains will be exhibited in the Sanbao Pottery Art Village in the future. This exhibition is also relatively important, and many people are attracted to it."

Zhao Chen nodded, so that's the case.

Traditional handicraft industries often have their own circles, some circles have communication, and some circles have no communication.

The craftsmen of Ru kiln porcelain obviously communicated with each other.

This involves conflicts of interest, as well as the exchange and progress of craftsmanship.

But for Zhao Chen, these things have no big impact on him, as long as the porcelain he burns can be fairly evaluated and collected by people who know the goods, that is the best destination for craftsmen.

Liu Hanlin led the way, and Zhao Chen followed along with his bag.

In the antique living room, Zhao Chen put the bag on the table, and then carefully took out the Ru kiln porcelain he made.

Zhao Chen noticed that the table in the living room is made of precious huanghuali wood, as are the chairs.

There are a lot of exhibits such as porcelain, jade ruyi, and Buddha statues on the exhibition cabinet next to it. Zhao Chen recognized a few pieces as ancient objects from the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

The antiques of the Ming and Qing Dynasties are directly placed outside, which means that these things are not even eligible to be stored in the collection room.

Looking at it this way, Liu Hanlin's family background is unfathomable.

In the living room, a servant aunt poured Longjing tea for Zhao Chen.

After Liu Hanlin saw the porcelain that Zhao Chen took out, he immediately observed carefully as if he had found a treasure.

Liu Xi sat on the chair, watching Liu Hanlin and Zhao Chen talking boredly.

Liu Xi has seen this scene many times, and there are many people who come to give gifts to her grandfather.

But it was the first time she saw Zhao Chen at such a young age.

Therefore, Liu Xi was full of curiosity about Zhao Chen.

"What a beautiful sky blue color, the glaze is really good." The first thing Liu Hanlin got was a gooseneck bottle. He picked up the bottle and looked at it carefully.

The more he looked, the more shocked he became.

The glazed surface of this piece of Ru kiln porcelain is very soft, and it feels like ghee oozes from the surface.

It feels exactly the same as ancient porcelain.

Then, Liu Hanlin took the magnifying glass and pointed it at the body of the bottle.

He saw that the glaze of this porcelain was slightly translucent and milky, and there were few sparse air bubbles under the glaze like morning stars.

Looking at the small cracks on the top, there are layers of shades and shades, as light as cicada wings.

Liu Hanlin's face became more and more serious.

The quality of this piece of porcelain completely exceeded his expectations.

Green as the sky, face as jade, morning stars sparse, cicada wing patterns
Exactly the same as ancient porcelain.

Under the bright light, the color of the porcelain is blue and yellowish, just like the golden sunshine on the clear blue sky when the clouds clear and the fog clears after the rain.

Where the glaze is slightly thinner, you can see the shy redness of a young girl, like the morning light dew slightly dyeing the thin clouds red.

Ru kiln porcelain is better than this peculiar glaze.

It is this glaze that craftsmen have been pursuing for 900 years.

"It's unbelievable, this is exactly the same as the ancient Faru Kiln!"

Liu Hanlin murmured in a low voice.

As a master of Ru kiln porcelain art, Liu Hanlin's craftsmanship has reached its peak.

He was able to fire azure Ru kiln porcelain, which was almost the same as Zhao Chen's Ru kiln porcelain in appearance.

But the scenes presented under the magnifying glass are very different.

Moreover, Zhao Chen's glaze is obviously more textured, and it feels more like jade.

"Master Zhao, how did you burn it? This is an ancient method."

Liu Hanlin raised his head and asked with a serious face.

"Porcelain is based on the material and the technique. The material of the Ru kiln is more important. The glaze I use is somewhat unique, and the technique is not much different."

Zhao Chen replied.

Hearing Zhao Chen's words, Liu Hanlin murmured softly:

"The glaze of the Ru Kiln is added with agate, which will produce slices of different angles and few stars on the glaze surface. The semi-opalescent crystalline glaze is extremely sensitive to color light, and the cyan glaze can also reflect red halos."

"But it's just a rumor. The craftsman also added agate when making the glaze, but it didn't have such a good effect at all."

Liu Hanlin knew that Zhao Chen held the secret of Ru Kiln's ancient method.

It's like the recipe for Coca-Cola.

The list of ingredients is written on the bottle, and anyone can read it, but only a few executives of Coca-Cola know how to achieve this effect.

The value of this formula is immeasurable.

"Master Zhao, these pieces of porcelain are sure to shine in this porcelain exchange conference."

"This skill of yours is too unexpected."

Liu Hanlin said with emotion.

"I hope so." Zhao Chen replied politely.
