The Immortal Road of Rebirth

Chapter 48 Tang Sancai (3)
"Lao Ye, you are good at these miscellaneous things. Tell the children about Tang Sancai. Let them understand the charm of our Chinese Tang Sancai."

Grandpa Ye is also not humble, he is willing to pass on his knowledge in this area to his granddaughter.

Looking at the Tang Sancai that was wiped clean and placed on the table, Xiaoxiao also liked its bright colors very much.So I couldn't help but explore with my soul:
The breath of time... It looks like an antique rather than a current imitation, no wonder the two grandpas chose this one, their vision is really good enough.

Wait, uh...what a nasty feeling...

Smiling at a loss, what is going on:

Since they are all antiques.Why do I like the red dressing box so much, but I don't like Wen Tong's paintings, but I hate this Tang Sancai?
Unaware of Xiaoxiao's anomaly, Grandpa Yu began to popularize the science:
"First of all, let me tell you two about Tang Sancai:
Tang Sancai is a low-temperature lead-glazed pottery.Different metal oxides are added to the colored glaze, and after roasting, various colors such as light yellow, ocher yellow, light green, dark green, sky blue, brown red, eggplant purple, etc. are formed, but yellow, ocher and green are the main colors. host.

The birth of Tang Sancai has a history of more than 1300 years. It began in the Northern and Southern Dynasties and flourished in the Tang Dynasty.

It is famous for its vivid shape, bright color and full of life.

It is mainly the colored glaze coated on the pottery, which undergoes chemical changes during the baking process. The color glaze changes in shade, mutual infiltration, mottled dripping, natural and coordinated colors, and smooth patterns.In the mutual reflection of colors, Tang Sancai shows a magnificent and magnificent artistic charm.

It absorbs the characteristics of Chinese traditional painting, sculpture and other arts and crafts, and adopts decorative patterns in the form of stacking and depiction, with rough and powerful lines.

Because the three basic colors are commonly used and formed characteristics in the Tang Dynasty, it was called "Tang Sancai" by later generations. "

After introducing the history of Tang Sancai and the origin of its name, Grandpa Ye paused for a while, as if he was giving the two children time to remember and think, and also seemed to be sorting out the next words.

"Tang Sancai has rich and colorful shapes, which can generally be divided into three categories: animals, living utensils and figures.

Most of them are animals.Generally speaking, the most popular ones are the terracotta warriors.Some gallop with their feet up, some linger and stand still, some stretch their necks and neigh, all showing various lifelike gestures.

The figures include women, civil servants, generals, terracotta warriors, and heavenly kings. According to the social status and rank of the characters, different personalities and characteristics are depicted:
The lady has a round face, combed into various buns, and wears colorful clothes. The civil servants are courteous, the warriors are fierce and brave, the Hu figurines have high noses and deep eyes, and the heavenly king's angry eyes are mighty and majestic.

As for living utensils, the most common ones in Tang Sancai are those closely related to life, such as plates, three-legged plates, washers, bowls, pots, jars, bottles, statues, bowls, pillows, etc.

Feifei's is obviously a lady's style in character modeling. "

After listening to Grandpa Ye's words, although most of them did not understand, but they finally gained something and understood something.So Feifei asked excitedly, "Grandpa Ye, how did you make such a beautiful thing?"

Glancing at the smile with empty eyes, Grandpa Ye shook his head helplessly, and answered Feifei:

"The production process of Tang Sancai is very complicated.

First of all, after the mined ore soil is selected, pounded, washed, precipitated, and dried, it is made into a mold and fired in a kiln.The firing of Tang Sancai adopts the double firing method.From the point of view of raw materials, its carcass is made of white clay, which is fired at 1000-1100 °C in the kiln, and the baked plain body is cooled, and then various glazes prepared are put into the kiln. Glaze firing, the firing temperature is 850-950 ℃.In the glaze color, various oxidized metals are used as coloring agents, and various colors are presented after calcination.

After the glaze is fired, some characters need to open the face again. The so-called open face is the head of the character. Antique products are not glazed. It has to go through the process of thrush, lip, and hair.

Then this Tang Sancai product is completed. "
