Craftsman: I continue to learn for the sake of the saints

Chapter 70 Bagua Dragon Head and a Bundle of Bamboo (for further reading)

The Xi Shi pot has been made, and Qin Luo is thinking about his second purple sand pot.

For the ordinary pot shape, Qin Luo has no idea for the time being.

To challenge the high difficulty first.

Not so ambitious.

Just, do more and practice more.

The strength is here.

Ordinary pot shape, easy to make, almost without any difficulty.

In the forum, a Zisha forum has been opened, and a hot post has popped up.

"Let everyone taste this spring offering pot passed down from my ancestors—one pot has been handed down for three generations, and the pot is still there"

This post...

The person who posted the post was called the King of Gingko, the same nickname as the one in the live broadcast room, the Mr. Zhang.

It is not possible to post pictures in the comment section of the live broadcast room.

However, in the forum, it is possible to make a long speech.

Qin Luo also saw his IP display, Xiangjiang.

Look at his pot again...

It is indeed an authentic offering spring pot, and its appearance is strange and ancient, it is definitely a rare treasure.

In the post, he described the origin of this pot in detail.

——It turned out that in 1927, his grandfather found this pot at a grocery stall in Gusu City. At that time, the surface of the pot was full of dirt and no one cared about it.

His grandfather picked up the body of the pot and played with it carefully, and found that there was a seal engraving of the word "Gongchun" on the handle of the pot, and his heart couldn't help but move.

The earliest pots for spring offerings did not have the habit of engraving the year or seal on the bottom of the pot. Generally, they just used sharp bamboo slices to carve on the handle.

It was not until Shi Dabin that the year name or seal would be engraved on the bottom of the pot.

So his grandfather judged at the time that this was an ancient pot, at least from Shi Dabin's era.

So... Multi-party research, trace the root cause.

After textual research, this pot, involving many historical celebrities, recently flowed out from the Fu family in Shaoxing, and the Fu family's pot was originally hidden by the Xili Huang family. The Huang family confirmed that before the Huang family, this pot The pot was once collected by Shen Junru, and before Shen, it was Wu Dazheng (zhi) in Suzhou.

Both the Fu family and the Huang family are well-known and well-known families in the local area.

Wu Dazheng, a famous epigraphy archaeologist in the late Qing Dynasty, wrote many works.

As for Shen Junru, it is even more remarkable, a celebrity in the Republic of China, the founder of the Democratic League, and the first president of the Supreme Court after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

A pot has been turned around for hundreds of years, and dozens of people have passed it...

In the end it was acquired by his grandfather.

His grandfather went to Xiangjiang, until now, and the inheritance has been in his family for nearly a hundred years.

From 1927, to 2023.

The story told in this story is quite legendary, and it became popular in the forum almost immediately.

In a follow up post...

"The King of Gingko" also posted a lot of pictures, all of which are purple clay teapots in his family's collection, almost three shelves.

It's like a small purple sand museum.

Extremely Versailles.

Looking at these, Qin Luo couldn't help admiring.

Send him a message and ask: "Brother Zhang, do you have a Bagua dragon head and a bundle of bamboo at home?"

It's industry "black talk."

The so-called gossip dragon head bundle of bamboo is also a pot shape, so it is called this name, which is extremely impressive.

The degree of preciousness is second only to the spring pot.

He quickly replied: "I have longed for it for a long time, but unfortunately there is no fate. Brother Luo will do it?"

Qin Luo replied: "I want to try."

He: "If it succeeds, it will be a big white, in one vessel, containing the universe..."

Qin Luo smiled, this one knows pot.

I also know the origin of the Bagua dragon head and a bundle of bamboo.

……

During the live broadcast today.

Qin Luo started talking in the live broadcast room.

"Today, I will make a rare pot with a bundle of bamboo on the head of a gossip dragon. This pot was first created by Shao Daheng, a famous Zisha master in the Qing Dynasty. The shape of the pot is shocking. "

Shao Daheng is also his teacher in the system space.

Of course, he definitely doesn't know about such an evaluation.

This evaluation is made by Gu Jingzhou, a contemporary Zisha master, who has successfully imitated the spring offering pot, Gu Jingzhou who can be called a school of Zisha masters.

At this time, in the live broadcast room, hearing Qin Luo say this, everyone's interest was quickly raised.

A carnival popped up.

Qin Luo glanced at it, and it was the "king of ginkgo fruit" who gave the reward.

Obviously, he has high expectations for himself to make this pot.

Qin Luo took a sip of water and continued: "What kind of pot is a bundle of bamboo in the Bagua faucet? Let me introduce it to you. Use purple sand mud to make 64 slightly longer bamboo sections as the body of the pot. The numbers of the hexagrams are divided into four groups with 64 very short bamboo segments, and each group has eight as the feet of the pot."

"This is not only the pinnacle of technique, but also a new high of the purple clay teapot. It can even be called...a sacrificial vessel."

"As everyone may know, there are very few records of imperial purple clay teapots in the court of the Qing Dynasty. This is because the emperors of the Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong dynasties were all obsessed with glazed and luxurious porcelain and enamelware, and pursued the ultimate color. I don't really like the true color of the purple clay pot."

"However, a bundle of bamboo with a Bagua dragon head is the only special purple clay pot among them, made by the royal family."

"In the sixth year of Daoguang, Emperor Daoguang quelled the domestic rebellion. This was a great achievement of his own. Because he was full of ambition, he ordered the whole country to buy related ritual vessels as a commemoration. This is a big competition of craftsmen from all over the country. Among the hundreds of kinds of ritual utensils, the emperor was not satisfied, but the eight-diagram dragon head and a bundle of bamboo completely moved Emperor Daoguang."

"This pot has an extremely majestic meaning. All the 64 hexagrams in the Book of Changes are collected in one pot, and the universe of the world can be mastered by one pot.

After Qin Luo finished speaking all these, the atmosphere in the live broadcast room was completely excited.

this thing...

Although it is not as good as Gongchun Pot in terms of "ranking", its background is scary!

Rites!

The major events of the country are only the sacrifice and the Rong.

Whether it is ancient or present, what can be called a ritual vessel must be the pinnacle of craftsmanship.

Qin Luo has already started production.

This pot, to be honest, is quite difficult.

Not only the implication is lofty, but the modeling also requires extraordinarily exquisite skills.

In the mud-kneading stage, a lot of ingenuity is required.

Because the unique shape is not spliced, but formed as a whole.

can be imagined as...

A purple sand teapot with hundreds of "parts", after the pot is completed, each "part" must be exposed outside, so that people can see clearly, and the "long bamboo" and "short bamboo" are clearly distinguished.

However, in the mud embryo stage, before the pot is formed, the parts cannot be made separately, but must be placed in the small space of the whole pot to form a whole.

This difficulty can be imagined.

Human skillful hands must be comparable to or even surpass 3D printing.

If the spring pot is the pinnacle of freehand brushwork, like ice cracks, the artisans cannot control it before it comes out of the kiln...

The eight trigrams faucet with a bundle of bamboo is the pinnacle of "craftsmanship".

Great work!

What a coincidence!
