It is obviously because the glaze is impure, which leads to firing.

The glaze splashes at high temperatures, which is obviously a defect.

But in the eyes of the Qing Dynasty, this became a kind of beauty...

This is like Ru porcelain in the Song Dynasty, when the kiln temperature was not controlled properly during firing.

Especially after the kiln is opened, the cold air quickly enters the kiln and rapidly expands and contracts.

This leads to cracking under the glaze of porcelain, which is what modern people call opening.

This was originally a defect of the firing process, but in the eyes of future generations, it became a kind of beauty.

So much so that by the Ming and Qing dynasties, the craftsmen at that time had already mastered the technology of controlling the kiln temperature and preventing the porcelain from opening.

But after the burned porcelain was sent to the palace, the emperor felt that it was not as beautiful as the porcelain that was opened when he saw it.

So instead ordered the craftsmen to fire the porcelain into a state of opening...

Yongzheng's preference is probably the same as other emperors who like to open pieces of porcelain.

This may also be a characteristic of our aesthetic...

"Well, my glaze mixing is very particular. Please remember the proportions..."

"There are also this technique and process, come and try it."

"Because we are not using Persian Suzhou material, it is relatively simple."

While mixing glaze, Lao Yang conducted on-site teaching for Chen Rui.

Chen Rui studied very seriously, and he admired Lao Yang's ability very much.

Moreover, Lao Yang did not hide his own selfishness to him, which made him even more moved.

You should know that being a porcelain-fired craftsman, this glaze formula can be said to be an exclusive skill for a craftsman to eat.

Generally, this ability is passed down from generation to generation within the family.

And now Lao Yang is teaching him selflessly to himself, which also shows one thing.

That is, he was determined to die when he went to find Chen Shui to take revenge.

Thinking of this, Chen Rui couldn't help but make a secret decision in his heart.

When it comes to Lao Yang's revenge, he must reach out to help Lao Yang.

The glaze was prepared soon.

"Actually, if this is done in ancient times, it will take some effort."

"These materials are mixed together and it will take several days to wait until the materials are completely reacted and fused before they can be used."

"But this has become modern. I have pre-treated these materials in advance, so I can use them when I bring them."

"If you do it in the future, you must also make preparations in advance..."

Lao Yang really doesn’t hide his own personal information at all, so how do you choose these glazes?

Chen Rui told me clearly where the materials were used and how to pre-treat them in advance.

Chen Rui also studied very seriously. His mind was good, and he was very focused now.

It can even reach the point where you can never forget it.

"Okay, let's teach you the technique of making cartoons on porcelain, which requires you to study hard in the future."

As Lao Yang said that, he picked up the high-foot bowl and then picked up the brush.

"There are twelve paintings in this blue and white porcelain."

"But remember, Yuan blue and white porcelain uses the method of drawing one stroke and dots."

"This way of painting is to draw patterns at one time with the tip of the pen, without outlining, or drawing them, etc.."

"It's very similar to traditional calligraphy, and it emphasizes freehand painting and casualness."

"This technique is very important to master the lightness and weight of the brushstrokes, because it will affect the thickness of the blue and white color."

"This technique is not a high-level painter, and it cannot be mastered at all."

"This is also the reason why the price of Yuan blue and white porcelain has always been high, because it is not only of high academic value."

"The artistic value is not low, especially for large instruments. If it is a narrative figure painting, it will be even more valuable."

I have to say that Lao Yang is really an encyclopedia of porcelain walking.

A casual talk made Chen Rui feel that he benefited a lot.

"The second type is double-tick coloring. This way of painting is to outline the outline of the pattern with lines."

"When filling in the blue material, the sky will not show the line boundary."

"This kind of painting method is the painting method invented in the Ming Dynasty."

"And it is mainly used to draw flowers..."

"There are other techniques such as single-line flat painting, stem-cutting, iron wire drawing, etc."

"But we can't use those techniques today."

"Today we mainly use double-tick coloring to draw. I'll draw it again now, you'll see."

Lao Yang introduced Chen Rui the techniques he would use later.

After saying that, he picked up the pen and started to draw on the high-foot bowl.

He first used pencils, which is the benefit of modernity. Unlike the ancients, only brushes were available.

First use a pencil to draw the approximate Ruiguo diagram to be drawn, and then draw the border.

Use a brush to outline the general outline, and then apply the color.

Chen Rui naturally recorded the video on his mobile phone throughout the whole process.

The originally seemingly complex pattern was finished in less than half an hour in Lao Yang's hands.

Chen Rui was already sweating at the tip of his nose, but Lao Yang didn't even breathe.

Obviously, this workload is a piece of cake for him.

Chen Rui really admires him very much.

At this time, he also made up his mind to learn the painting technique after he went back.

After all, this high-fired imitation porcelain is fired, even if you have a white body, you know how to match the glaze.

But if you don’t know how to paint, then all these will be in vain.

If you find someone else to draw, it will be a waste of time.

Secondly, it may not necessarily achieve the effect you want...

"Okay, wait for the glaze to dry for a while, and then send it into the kiln for firing."

"Because it's a supplementary color, the temperature cannot be as high as it was when it was fired normally."

"Because the temperature is too high, it will destroy the glaze on other parts of the bowl."

"And when firing, other parts of the bowl must be protected."

"Packing a layer of heat insulation and heat reduction material on other parts, there are many modern materials."

"For example, a high-temperature thermal insulation cotton produced by 3m company is added with aluminum foil."

"If you don't have these, you can find some high-temperature resistant clay paste, such as..."

Old Yang is really fine, and everything he taught makes Chen Rui feel that he has benefited a lot.

"Because the low-temperature slow roasting method is used, the cooking time will be relatively long."

"Add to the later cooling and cooling, it probably takes about three days."

"During this time, I'm going to watch the stove here, and you can find a place to rest!"

Lao Yang and Chen Rui explained.

Feeling that there is nothing to learn now, Chen Rui simply came outside the door and first gave a cigarette to make his mind clear.

After just over an hour of teaching, he was overwhelmed with the intensive knowledge points...

I smoked three cigarettes and sorted out all the knowledge points that Lao Yang had just handed over, but I felt that there was no missing.
Chapter completed!
