387 Not a small tone
"At that time, Emperor Qianlong gathered the power of famous craftsmen in the country to burn Ru kiln porcelain again."
"It's a pity that after years of attempts, they all ended in failure."
"According to records, the craftsmen he organized at that time also fired a lot of porcelain with sky blue glaze and bean green glaze."
"You know, it was already quite amazing to be able to burn these two colors of porcelain back then."
"After all, in the Yuan and Ming dynasties, countless emperors also used their strength to exert the country, but in the end they did not even burn the sky-green porcelain."
"So it's already amazing that it can be burned out in the Qianlong Dynasty."
Speaking of the difficulty of burning Ru kiln again, Yang Rongjin also popularized Chen Rui's past history.
"But these porcelains were finally sent to Emperor Qianlong. After playing with them for a while, he always felt that they were inappropriate."
"Later, he compared the fired sky-green glaze porcelain with the genuine Ru kiln porcelain."
"After this comparison, I found that the sky blue glaze color of Ru kiln porcelain from the Northern Song Dynasty was faintly visible."
"Almost every piece is like this, and the Ru porcelain he made was burned back without such dizziness no matter how he looked at it."
"This is the main reason for the 'color improper' recorded in history."
"Later, Qianlong was so angry that he destroyed all the Ru porcelains that were burned out again."
"Later, during the Republic of China period, a large capitalist named Li Shaochu also went to Ruzhou and opened a kiln factory."
"Trying to use modern technology to burn this Ru porcelain again, it ended in failure."
"After liberation, our country's porcelain-making researchers used broken Ru porcelain fragments to conduct chemical analysis."
"Finally, the agate component was analyzed from the glaze, which determined the secret of Ru porcelain glaze."
"It turns out that when the porcelain engineers of Ru porcelain made the agate produced in the agate mining area near Ruzhou."
"After crushing it into powder, add it to other glazes, mix it in a certain proportion, and finally the sky blue glaze is burned."
"And that Ru kiln porcelain has the unique pink halo under the glaze color, which is the consequence of adding this agate..."
Yang Rongjin told the mystery of his ability to burn Ru porcelain again.
After listening to it, Chen Rui felt like he was enlightened.
It turns out that the mystery of Ru porcelain is the agate added to the glaze?
"These information was also when I was in the capital of porcelain later and checked the information."
"Unintentionally, it was discovered in the notes of a scientific researcher who participated in the research of Ru porcelain."
"According to the records of this scientific researcher, he suspected that these agates used as glaze were mainly pink."
"Some of them are sky blue, so this Ru porcelain can burn that unique color."
"Later, the agate mine near Ruzhou was dug long ago."
"It is precisely because of the unique production of this agate mine that Ru porcelain cannot be fired."
"It was precisely after reading his analysis that I began to carefully develop the glaze of Ru porcelain."
"Later, in order to get pink agate, I went to Europe specifically."
Chen Rui was stunned: "Go to Europe?"
"Yes! The three Baltic countries and Russia are major agate-producing countries."
"We don't produce much agate in our country, and even if it is some, the quality is not very good."
"If you want to find qualified agate, you have to go to these countries."
"I was in these countries at that time. I stayed for half a year and then I got a batch of green agate and pink agate."
"When I bought these agate, I understood why so many people failed to replicate this Ru porcelain."
“Why?”
Chen Rui was very timely to become a supporting actor.
"This pink agate and sky-blue agate are rare things in itself and are expensive."
"You take it back, grind the ingredients, configure it into glaze, and fire the porcelain, and finally take a great risk of failure."
"Who will do this business?"
Hearing this, Chen Rui couldn't help but realize it.
No wonder we have not been able to burn Ru porcelain again for so many years.
It turns out that this is also a major factor!
After all, no matter how difficult it is to burn Ru porcelain again, it is logically difficult for our skilled craftsmen in Long Kingdom, right?
But in the end it didn't burn it out.
I think this economic factor is also a major factor that plagues craftsmen.
"After that, I've experienced thousands of experiments."
"The glaze recipe and firing process were finally finalized."
"I can teach you all these techniques now."
"But the problem you have to face now is how to go there and find the right agate..."
After hearing what Yang Rongjin said, Chen Rui immediately changed into a bitter face.
"I'll go, it's not peaceful in Eastern Europe now!"
Needless to say, Russia is in a special state now.
As for the three Baltic countries, their relationship with Russia is not very good.
And his relationship with us is average, Chen Rui thought about it.
"Hey, it seems that the plan to burn Ru porcelain again will be left for a while before talking about it."
"Well, it doesn't matter. I'll leave it to you first, and you can think about it slowly when you go back!"
"As long as you can get all the materials needed for this glaze, you can test it and refire it at any time."
Yang Rongjin was really bright and picked up his phone after saying that.
He handed over a few copies of the information to Chen Rui.
Chen Rui clicked on it and looked at it, and finally could only shake his head and sigh.
"It's such a coincidence that I can't pick agate there."
"Or I really wish I could burn this Ru porcelain tomorrow."
Yang Rongjin laughed when she heard this.
"If you can't wait, you might as well learn to burn some other porcelain with me first."
"Ah? Teacher Yang, what else do you have? Don't hide it?"
After a few days, Chen Rui and Yang Rongjin were already familiar with each other.
When he heard that he had his unique skills to teach, he immediately stretched his neck.
"Hehe, although Ru porcelain cannot be burned, it is not bad if it can be burned with Yuan blue and white porcelain!"
"What! Puff, cough cough..."
I choked out immediately after drinking the water in my mouth.
This Yang Rongjin is really not shocking to speak!
I thought that this guy had mastered a unique skill in firing Ru porcelain.
But who would have thought that this guy actually mastered the technique of firing Yuan blue and white porcelain?
After hearing what he said and looking at his calm attitude, Chen Rui could not keep calm for a moment.
"Teacher Yang, aren't you teasing me? Blue and white...you...can you...can't burn?"
Chen Rui was already excited and stuttering a little excited.
Chapter completed!
