How did I become an old artist?

Chapter 8 The perfect product!Amazing craftsmanship!

Southern Song Dynasty Official Kiln Museum.

The exquisite porcelain on the showcase amazed the kiln masters and museum staff.

The porcelain fired in June turned out to be 10 exquisite finished products!

Of the 10 finished products, 7 were made by Sun Maohai, a master of official kiln porcelain.

One of the three-legged square statues is even more like ice and jade, with a simple and simple atmosphere.

Sun Maohai was very happy. It took him a full month to complete all the 300 pieces of porcelain in the first kiln.

Unexpectedly, after firing all of them, there will be 7 finished products.

You know, this time the kiln was opened to fire porcelain, a total of eight kilns were opened, each kiln produced 300 pieces.The first kiln is exclusive to Sun Maohai, the second kiln is exclusive to another master Wu Chengfei, and the remaining six kilns are the works of his disciples.

At the end of June, there was a "Southern Song Dynasty Porcelain Finished Products Exhibition". For this exhibition, everyone worked hard to make porcelain.

And now this result, everyone is very satisfied.

Because the success rate of official kiln porcelain in the Southern Song Dynasty is too low.

"Master Sun, it's amazing. The ice cracks on this three-legged square statue are so beautiful. It can definitely be called a masterpiece of official kiln porcelain in the Southern Song Dynasty." Ding Wu, the vice president of the Hangzhou Porcelain Association, praised.

Hearing Ding Wu's praise, Sun Maohai smiled all over his face. He nodded and said: "This piece is indeed beyond my expectations. I have been making official kiln porcelain for more than 30 years, and it can compare with this three-legged square statue." Yes, up to five pieces."

"This square statue is used as the finale of the exhibition at the end of the month, so there should be no problem."

Ding Wuying said: "In this way, I can feel at ease. When the time comes, I will bring these newly made handmade masterpieces to the exhibition. Whether it is an auction or an exhibition, everyone can see the cultural heritage of official kiln porcelain."

Others had smiles on their faces too.

Everyone was relieved to be able to burn so many finished official kiln porcelain.

After all, at the Southern Song Dynasty Porcelain Exhibition at the end of the month, the five major kilns will be on stage. As the inheritors of official kiln porcelain culture, they naturally cannot lose face.

At 11 o'clock in the evening, after Zhao Chen opened the kiln, he took out the five fired porcelain pieces one by one.

He took out the narrow mouth jade bottle first.

I saw that the whole body of the jade bottle was dark blue, and the surface was covered with complex and fine cracks, and there were white textures at the cracks.

The whole jade bottle is simple and natural, majestic and looks very elegant.

Netizens in the live broadcast room also stared intently.

【This bottle looks good! 】

[Why are there so many cracks on it, is it a failure? 】

[That is the characteristic of official kiln porcelain. The five major kilns in the Southern Song Dynasty, official kiln and Ge kiln are all representatives of open piece porcelain.The fine lines on these porcelain are very particular. 】

[I can't understand it, but it looks so advanced! 】

[Indeed, I also think it's so advanced, I don't know it! 】

The bullet screen keeps scrolling.

Zhao Chen carefully inspected every part of the narrow mouth jade bottle.

He checked very carefully and carefully.

Just like the porcelain masters back then, inspecting the porcelain that had just been fired from the official kiln of Xiu Neisi.

"Huh, this one is fine, it's perfect."

Zhao Chen heaved a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his face.

"The Song Dynasty was the pinnacle of ancient aesthetics. From the Tang Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, aesthetics underwent earth-shaking changes."

Zhao Chen told netizens the story that was buried in history.

"The Tang Dynasty pursued a colorful style, represented by Tang Sancai, which is very fancy."

"The Song Dynasty pursued a style of minimalist aesthetics, which is also the earliest minimalist culture in the world. Porcelain is the representative of the aesthetics of the Song Dynasty."

"Therefore, the Song Dynasty porcelain pursues simplicity and nature, and most of them are cyan and blue porcelain, showing a kind of elegant and elegant beauty."

"The glaze color of the porcelain in the Song Dynasty is more generous, and the style is more stable. It represents the people of the Song Dynasty's pursuit of returning to the basics, and it is also the embodiment of 'peace and distance, indifferent and clear aspirations'."

After hearing Zhao Chen's words, the netizens showed amazement.

[It's really good, I don't know how to praise it. 】

[All I can say is, Niubi! 】

[Send the host a 666666]

[It's a pity not to be a Chinese teacher, this eloquence sounds really comfortable! 】

Then, Zhao Chen took out the second piece of porcelain, an inkstone.

The porcelain of official kiln porcelain is mostly small objects, and small objects can better represent the culture of official kiln porcelain.

Zhao Chen carefully inspected the inkstone.

I saw a large number of cracks stretching on the porcelain surface of the inkstone, just like the shadows of willow branches and plum blossoms whirling on the snow.

These cracks are called caviar lines.

To put it simply, only very small ice cracks are eligible to be called caviar patterns, which are also a more precious variety.

"This one is even better."

Zhao Chen nodded in satisfaction.

Then, he took out the small bowl, jade plate and jar.

The remaining three pieces are also flawless.

"It's all done?"

This time, even Zhao Chen felt a little unbelievable.

You must know that there are probabilities in refining official kiln porcelain. Sometimes the operation is exactly the same, but the fate of the two pieces of porcelain is completely different.

"I predict in my heart that I can succeed in three things and fail in two things."

"But this kiln was very lucky, and all five pieces were successful."

Zhao Chen said with emotion.

Five pieces of porcelain came out of the same furnace, representing a complete set, with almost identical details and glaze colors.

Such porcelain is more valuable.

Zhao Chen earned some money by working part-time during college, but he didn't have much money left. In addition, he spent a few days buying materials and adjusting the glaze a few days ago, and now there are only a few thousand yuan left in his deposit.

Therefore, Zhao Chen plans to go to the porcelain market in Hangzhou tomorrow to see if he can sell these five pieces of porcelain.

Artisans also rely on craftsmanship to make a living.

Zhao Chen wrapped the porcelain with satin and embedded it in the prepared white foam.After tidying up, Zhao Chen went to wash and go to bed.

There are only more than 200 netizens in the live broadcast room. Everyone doesn't know much about porcelain, and they don't know the price of such handmade Southern Song official kiln porcelain.

Everyone only knows that this is a good-looking folk craftsman making porcelain.

These five pieces of porcelain are about to shine.

The next day, Zhao Chen planned to go to the urban area of ​​Hangzhou City.

He was wearing clean casual clothes and carrying a backpack, ready to go out.

"You two wait for me at home, I will come back at night."

"Don't run around."

Before leaving, Zhao Chen patted the heads of the two little guys.

Little Fox Juice gradually accepted Zhao Chen, and was no longer so afraid, but turned into a more clingy monster than his brother Coke, and especially liked to lean on Zhao Chen.

The two little guys smiled heartlessly, their eyes inherited the characteristics of their mother, and when they smiled, they looked like two crescent moons.

Then, Zhao Chen closed the door and left straight away.

The two little guys came out of the doorway and stood at the door watching Zhao Chenyuan's back.

The younger sister snuggled into her brother's arms and called softly twice.

The outside world is very dangerous, my sister is a little scared.

Then, the elder brother took the younger sister back to the yard and continued to play carelessly.

Zhao Chen is going to take a bus to the village, and then take a bus to downtown Hangzhou.

It just so happened that Ma Ming, the owner of the store in the village, was going to Hangzhou City to buy goods.

"Zhao Chen, where are you going?"

"Go to the city and do something."

"It's just right, take my car, and I'll go to the city too." Ma Ming said straightforwardly.

"Thank you, Uncle Ma." Hearing Ma Ming's words, Zhao Chen thanked him.

The mountain village is a small village, everyone knows each other, and they are willing to help with such small favors.

Carrying five precious handmade Southern Song official kiln porcelain products, the car slowly drove towards downtown Hangzhou.
