The Immortal Road of Rebirth

Chapter 57

Back at the foot of Fragrant Hills, Grandpa Ye called Grandpa Yu to his house for dinner.

Grandpa Yu agreed unceremoniously, he naturally knew what Lao Ye was going to do with Curator Wang.For Grandpa Yu who loves antiques, of course he wants to see what curator Wang can tell about Xiaoxiao's jars.

On the other hand, the little girl Feifei refused to go and insisted on clamoring to go back to her home.She knew that when she went to Grandpa Ye's house, she was probably talking about the collection of antiques. It was very boring, so she might as well go home and play with dolls, it was comfortable and at ease.

Helpless, Grandpa Yu originally planned to take the opportunity to educate his granddaughter, but unfortunately his plan was discovered, so he had no choice but to let the guards around him send her back to Yu's house alone.

Feifei, who was originally jealous of Xiaoxiao who was cuter than herself, after a whole morning of getting along, somehow developed a good impression of this little sister.

I always feel that this younger sister is different from other girls. She is quiet but not rigid, and has an indescribably attractive smell about her, which makes people want to be with her.

In fact, this is related to Xiaoxiao's practice.

The external performance of the first stage of Soul Forging Art is to make Xiaoxiao appear friendly and attractive.At the same time, practicing Qingfeng Jue can make the body produce aura, which will also make people who come into contact with it feel comfortable and natural.

The double-layer effects are superimposed, how can the simple children resist the charm of Xiaoxiao?That's why I feel inexplicably fond of it.

Children's friendships come easy and strange.Feifei didn't worry about why she had a good impression of Xiaoxiao, but directly expressed her closeness:
"Sister Xiaoxiao, come and play with me some other day. I have a lot of toys at home, and I will play with them for you."

Feifei will still be tempted.

Looking at Feifei who was shy and refused to get in the car, insisting on waiting for an answer.Smile a little helpless.

Although she already thinks that arrogance is just Feifei's surface, her heart is still very good.But this does not mean that Xiaoxiao is willing to play with dolls with the little girl.Playing a child in front of her family all day is already hard work, and she doesn't want to ask for it anymore.

I had no choice but to put on a perfunctory face:

"Well, okay, I will go to you when I have a chance, sister Feifei."

Finally, Miss Yu was sent away...

.

After working hard all morning, and at the age of growing body, Xiaoxiao is really hungry.

After returning to Ye's house, she devoured everything when she went to the dinner table, which made Grandma Ye's heart ache.

After the meal, I drank some tea and ate some fruit.

Grandpa Ye raised the question, took out the jar that Xiaoxiao had to put down when eating, and said to Curator Wang with a smile:

"Xiao Wang, I invite you here today, just to ask you to help me look at this jar.

Xiaoxiao saw this at the Panjiayuan stall, and Lao Yu and I were not good at it either, so we didn't know what it was.But Xiaoxiao likes this girl, so please tell her about it. "

Curator Wang gladly accepted the order.

The dust on the jar was wiped off by Xiaoxiao long ago.

Curator Wang took the jar, looked at it, and knocked it with his hand again. The jar made a "dangdang" sound of gold and iron.

He first came to a simple conclusion:

"Judging from both the feel of the jar's surface and the sound of the knocking, it's not porcelain, it's earthenware.

Porcelain is a ceramic product obtained by firing blanks from natural materials such as china clay, feldspar, and quartz at high temperatures.Porcelain is formed by firing at a high temperature (about 1280°C-1400°C) in a kiln, vitrified or partially vitrified the carcass, and is generally glazed.A type of product with low porosity, water absorption not greater than 3, hard texture, high strength, and crisp knocking sound.

Pottery is a product made by firing the carcass at a high temperature of 800~1000°C. It has high porosity, different degrees of water permeability, low mechanical strength, and rough and dull cross-section, but it has the advantages of fire resistance, oxidation resistance, and corrosion resistance. , divided into rough pottery and fine pottery. "

"Then tell us something about pottery, Xiao Wang." Grandpa Yu interjected.

Pottery and porcelain are in the same line. As a master of porcelain, Director Wang's research on pottery is also quite standard:

"Pottery has a history of nearly 1 years in my country.

It has several very representative stages, mainly the following:

Painted pottery represented by the Banpo class of the Yangshao Culture.It is mainly distributed in the eastern part of Gansu and the Guanzhong area of ​​Shaanxi.Pottery is typical utensils with rolled lip pots and round bottom pots, bowls, small mouth and thin neck big belly pots, straight mouth bulging belly and pointed bottom bottles, and their shapes are relatively simple.The age is from 4800 BC to 4300 BC.

Black pottery represented by Longshan culture.Its distribution area is mainly in Shandong and northern Jiangsu.The types of utensils are more abundant than those of painted pottery, and they are becoming more and more regular, mainly including pots, basins, Li, beans, cups, and tripods.Its shape is also different from that of painted pottery. It is more practical in life, with novel and ingenious design, emphasizing practical effect and more aesthetic feeling.Its age is 2500-2000 BC.

There is also the famous Tang Sancai, which is also a representative work of pottery.

This jar belongs to the black pottery category.

Black pottery is unglazed, so if it is not wiped, it looks a little dull, which is one of the main reasons for the dust on the jar. "

When it comes to his professional field, curator Wang is obviously no longer restrained, and he starts to explain endlessly:
"The soil selected for the black pottery comes from the alluvial plain of the lower reaches of the Yellow River. The soil is particularly fine, sand-free, highly viscous, and rich in various mineral elements. It can produce a pure black and uniform texture during firing.

After the soil is taken out, it is dried in the air, and then filtered with gauze to make a mud body, which is hand-drawn and calendered repeatedly with shells until the surface density of the pottery body increases and is as smooth as a mirror.

Then use special carving tools to use techniques such as line carving, shallow carving, deep carving, and hollowing out to carve gorgeous and mysterious patterns by hand.

Then install accessories such as ears, rings, noses, and legs to the black pottery works.

The pure black color on the surface of black pottery is fired by the unique ancient technology of unglazed and uncolored carbonization kiln transformation.After leaving the kiln, it is completely natural, and no further treatment is required.

In the last stage of firing the utensils, water is slowly added from the top of the kiln to extinguish the charcoal and generate thick smoke, which is intentionally blackened to form black pottery. "

Most of the people engaged in the protection of antiques and cultural relics sincerely love the traditional culture of the Chinese nation, and curator Wang is no exception.Therefore, the final summary is generous:

"The craftsmanship of black pottery is sophisticated, exquisite, delicate and unique. As early as about 2000 thousand years before the production of porcelain, Chinese black pottery has reached a level of craftsmanship comparable to that of porcelain.

Black pottery embodies a simple and simple ultimate beauty, has a high artistry, occupies an important place in the history of Chinese arts and crafts, and is praised by the archaeological circles of the world as "the most exquisite production of earth civilization 4000 years ago". "

Xiaoxiao admired Curator Wang's extensive knowledge, and even the two grandfathers nodded frequently, obviously admiring Curator Wang.
