Baolu Tianxing

Because of firing, cowpea red finished products are divided into high and low grades. The superior one is called "Dahongpao"; "; the lower grade is dark brown in color, and is called "donkey liver" and "horse lung".This small bowl has truly reached the level of "beauty drunk"!

"Cough!" Seeing that Xu Shaodong was still thinking hard, Wu Chen simply turned his head and pretended to cough. Seeing that he finally glanced at him, Wu Chen hurriedly winked and glanced at the two old men.

Although Xu Shaodong didn't know what was going on, he also knew that there was something weird about it, so he looked at Mr. Liu and said with a flattering smile, "Master, I don't want to be so bluffing, anyway, I'm not good enough, I'm just watching not come out."

"This red glaze is really complicated!" Kong Si said without hesitation, but he is not a person with well-developed limbs and a simple mind, but a rough appearance. It is easy for people to ignore that he is also a graduate of the Department of Archeology of Peking University!After being a "Jianghu peddler" for so many years, he learned a lot from Mr. Tian.

Even so, the red glaze also confused him, there are many varieties, and there are also variants.

The two old men smiled at each other.

Seeing that the three of them were all looking at him eagerly, looking eager for knowledge, Elder Tian pondered for a while, and tapped his fingers on the table, "I don't see it!"

As soon as this remark came out, the little guys were all stunned, dare you two elders are just teasing everyone.Xu Shaodong was full of doubts.

"From all aspects, this should be a product of the Kangxi Dynasty, but I have never seen this kind of shape... I can only say that it seems to be true at present!" Tian Lao said carefully, logically speaking, there is a leak, Leaks everywhere, ordinary utensils, after he and Mr. Liu's hands, can almost determine the authenticity.

But this small bowl is so weird, apart from the inconsistent shape, there are really no flaws, but the shape of the vessel is the basis for identification.If it is another object, if the shape does not match, it can be thrown into the cold palace directly.

"Hey, dare you two are always teasing us!" Xu Shaodong yelled immediately, it wasn't a matter of his level.It's not an exaggeration to say that even Tian Lao and Liu Lao can't see the utensils, and no one in the Celestial Dynasty can see them.

interesting!Mr. Liu looked at Wu Chen meaningfully. This kid tried his best to get these unusual items, whether they were national treasures or intractable diseases!

Mr. Liu stretched out his hand to beckon Xu Shaodong, signaling him to be calm, and then turned to Wu Chen and said, "Xiao Wu, why don't you lend me this little bowl to play for a while?"

Wu Chen knew that Mr. Liu wanted to study it for him, so he naturally had no objection, so he nodded in agreement.A few people wentssip again, all related to the red glaze, there is a lot of knowledge in it, the two elders are blowing water at each other, Wu Chen and Kong Si are dumbfounded, especially Wu Chen, who is even more ashamed, Others don't know, and they think how good he is, but he himself is very good at it. When it comes to the truth itself, he is still far behind Xu Shaodong and the others.

Not to mention anything else, just this red glaze. Although he had the experience of "self-taught" before, but now listening to them talking, he feels a little self-conscious. No wonder Kong Sidu "truly didn't figure it out.", It's just too complicated!

The appearance of red glaze fills the single tone of porcelain, a bit like the transition from black and white film to color film. According to the different raw materials added, it can be divided into two types: copper red glaze and iron red glaze.

The main varieties of copper red glaze are bright red, Langyao red, cowpea red, ruby ​​red, glaze red, etc.; the main varieties of iron red glaze are alum red, coral red, etc.As for the so-called underglaze red, although copper is also added, it is not in the same series as the overglaze red glaze.

If judged purely from the naked eye, the red glaze fired with copper generally presents a standard "big red" color; while the iron red glaze looks reddish orange, with a hint of gold.

The appearance of red glaze can be traced back to the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, but the truly pure and stable red glaze was the bright red first fired in the Ming Dynasty; in Jiajing, alum red with iron as the coloring agent was created and fired.

Bright red is high-temperature colored glaze, and alum red is low-temperature colored glaze.There are many kinds of red glaze, except for bright red, which has changed from thick and light to various varieties.Deep ones include ruby ​​red, vermilion, chicken blood red, accumulated red, smeared red, etc.The reddish-yellow ones are also called apricot shirts, the yellowish ones are also called coral glazes, and there are also orange and bordeaux.The light one is generally called pink, the gray one is called cowpea red, and the gray and dark one is called suckling mouse skin; carmine is also a kind of pink.The most beautiful of pinks is called Beauty Drunk.

Among so many varieties, what is often confused with cowpea red is Langyao red. This kind of red glaze was also created and fired in the Kangxi Dynasty. In 1705 AD, Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, who liked fine porcelain very much, was very dissatisfied with the lack of sacrificial red in the court collection. Satisfied, ordered the imperial kiln to imitate Xuande Jihong.

This task finally fell to Lang Tingji, the governor of Jiangxi Province. He personally went to Jingdezhen to supervise the kiln, watching the kiln workers prepare glaze and ignite the kiln every day.

Under the home field of Lang Tingji, the glaze has undergone countless blending experiments, adding various metal elements, even gold and gemstones. Although hundreds of kilns have been tested, there is still no sacrificial red, but another one is unexpectedly obtained. A red glazed porcelain.

Since Lang Ting was supervising the entire Jingdezhen porcelain industry at that time, the new red glazed porcelain fired was called Langyaohong.This kind of red glaze of Lang kiln is a successful imitation of Xuande Jihong. It is more vivid and lustrous than Jihong. Because it is very difficult to fire this kind of red glaze, it requires strict technology and the cost is very high. Therefore, Jingdezhen There is a proverb that "If you want to be poor, burn the red".

People are most afraid of talking about the right way. The two old men were not talkative at first, but they were provoked by a few juniors, but they were old friends. The time passed quickly, and it was lunch time in a blink of an eye.Mr. Liu was in high spirits, and he had already ordered them to prepare lunch.

As soon as Mr. Liu mentioned eating, he saw that they were all frowning, so he laughed and told them not to worry, Xiao Song is not here today, so everyone just opened their mouths!

Speaking of which, the food here is pretty good, it's just that he suffers, and the food of other people is not bad at all!No one supervises today, just take the opportunity to feast on the food.

The meal was in a small room. Apart from Wu Chen and the others, only Mr. Liu was alone. The other guards and nurses ate elsewhere, and even Boss Tie was not present.

A meal was quite lively, Mr. Liu was also very interested, and he picked up a pot of Dongpo meat to eat, which made Wu Chen feel a little sad, how hungry and thirsty this must be!In other words, our country is not so miserable.
