Chapter 635: Porcelain Carving

Thinking of this, everyone's hearts were bleak.

Especially Mr. Tang, from the initial surprise to the shock after a moment, it took only a few seconds in the middle.

After he turned around, his tongue was so nervous that he had a little knotted: "Lu, Master Lu, are you planning to do an experiment in this kiln?"

Lu Zian shook his head and arranged for someone to open the kiln and cool down as he ordered, while turning back and explaining calmly: "The basis of the kiln transformation is that the elements of iron and copper change in the temperature difference. If you don't want it to have glaze, it's not very simple. Just don't add these."

“…Yes, yes.”

But they didn't think it was easy to turn glaze into color, but it was not easy to not do it?

After confirming that the temperature was fine, Lu Zian sighed: "As for the experiment... it doesn't count. In fact, I have other uses for this batch of plain porcelain."

Old Tang looked at him and said cautiously: "Any other use? Is it related to carving a knife?"

"Well, there is a relatively special craft, which is also related to porcelain, called engraving porcelain, also called porcelain engraving." Lu Zi'an's eyebrows and eyes were quiet, and there was a gleam of interest in his eyes: "I had thought before that I used my carving skills to create on porcelain, but there was no suitable utensil. Jun porcelain is difficult to achieve in nature and kiln transformation, but if it is plain porcelain, the craftsmanship of Jun porcelain is the most suitable for porcelain engraving."

In addition to the kiln change phenomenon, Jun porcelain also has an appearance feature that is most attractive.

That is its milky state, which is a sky-blue galectal state as beautiful as green agate or opal.

It not only makes Jun glaze produce a series of blue colors from light to dark, but also gives a subtle luster and elegant texture, reducing the charming and floating light brought about by glaze vitrification.

The porcelain without floating light is transparent and elegant, and it strips away the custom of bright colors and vitrification, which is most suitable for carrying the beauty given by the carving knife.

"Porcelain engraving?"

Many people present fell into deep thoughts and were more confused.

However, Mr. Tang still had a little understanding of this craft and walked for two steps before saying: "I have seen a cultural relic that was engraved with a special technique on the hanger plate..."

"Yes, this is one of them, and it is more famous." Lu Zi'an said slowly with a clear voice: "This seal seal sixteen-character rolling poem is quite interesting. It can be read vertically, horizontally, diagonally, one-word and two-character serially, etc., can be read smoothly."

"That's right." Old Tang frowned and thought hard: "I really can't remember which sixteen words it is..."

Although the glance at that time shocked him, he was very shocked, but after all, the era was long and he only remembered the name and craftsmanship of the artifact, but he really couldn't remember the specific content.

"It's not limited to the content. It's just four words to form a smooth sentence, which can be composed of a hundred sentences in total." Lu Zian was interested and picked up the glaze brush and gently dipped it in some glaze: "It is generally used for hanging trays and tea cups, because they are all round, which refers to the 100 folk meanings of Chinese folk customs, which are round on the outside and square on the inside; it not only means the harmony of yin and yang, but also like the ancient big money..."

His voice was soft and quiet, and while he explained it smoothly, there was no pause in his writing.

A priest

Deren Tao Tea

and for one hundred

Taste of the Lord

It was indeed sixteen words, and Old Tang nodded repeatedly: "Yes, that's right, I was watching this at that time!"

"This sentence is used more often in porcelain engraving." Lu Zian smiled and gently put the pen down.

Everyone was quite surprised and tried to recite from the left and right.

"Wow, no matter how you read it, you can understand it!" He looked very surprised.

"I feel that these sixteen words can be done no matter how you write them."

The craftsmen were looking at the skills, while the leaders were looking at the words.

Huh! This hand word is really amazing!

"I didn't expect that Master Lu, you can even write seal script..." One of the leaders praised repeatedly: "Slim and tall, and it's really good to write."

Seal script is a general term for large seal script and small seal script.

Tao Zongyi described it very appropriately in "Jugenglu·Seal System": "Blank seals are all made of Han seal seals, flat, square and straight, and the characters cannot be round. Even if there are slanted strokes, they should be written with cleverness."

Lu Zi'an's seal script obviously has the style of the Han Dynasty.

The lines are lifted and pressed, changing, ups and downs, and full of rhythm changes.

There are few similarities when writing;

There are either hanging needles at the end of the pen or hanging dew, with all kinds of postures;

The turning point is either lifted or pressed, with both square and roundness, and the virtual and real are created.

At that moment, some craftsmen couldn't help but said bluntly that they wanted to ask Master Lu to ask them to copy the character and leave it for later use.

This word does not require type-up at all, it can be used directly!

Lu Zian was just a whim work. He wrote seal script a lot. In the past, he used to do seal script. He waved his hand and said, "It's okay, you can take it yourself."

He was not worried that the words would flow out at all. If he was really confused, he would not have the chance to come to this occasion.

"I see that there are not many hanging plates in your batch of porcelain." Old Tang was worried: "If it were all used for porcelain carving, would it be..."

Lu Zi'an's eyes flashed slightly and he smiled slightly: "My understanding may be slightly different from the porcelain carvings in Puyi."

Old Tang's eyes lit up: "What's the difference?"

"Porcelain carving is a traditional folk handicraft art in our country. There was a method of peeling porcelain glaze during the Qin and Han Dynasties, which was called "peeling jade". "Lu Zi'an looked at the carving knife on the table with gentle eyes: "The ancients started with the Wei and Jin Dynasties."

Everyone who didn't know much about porcelain carving listened with relish, but no one was clamoring.

Peeling jade, it sounds so beautiful.

If the jade is layer by layer, then porcelain carving is like using a carving knife to peel off the jade layer by layer.

It is becoming more and more transparent, reaching the depths of the soul.

"During the summer of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, with the development of the ceramic industry, a large number of exquisite porcelains appeared.

While enjoying porcelain, emperors, officials and some literati and poets wanted to keep the ink marks of poems and essays on them for permanent preservation.

So the artists at that time used a straight knife to carve the gallery of poetry, calligraphy and painting on the porcelain blank before glaze, which formed the initial porcelain carving."

Lu Zian pondered: "But they usually rarely use colors, and most of them mainly use ink treasures."

Except for the more famous sixteen characters, most of the rest are written poems.

"But porcelain engraving is actually an organic combination of calligraphy lines, painting compositions, and carved knife marks through the artist's exquisite conception, making it a comprehensive plastic art." Lu Zi'an curled a pleasant smile on the corner of his lips, and gently stroked the cold knife face with his fingertips: "It is a pity that such creativity is just used to engrave poems. In my opinion, everything that can be inscribed on paper must be engraved on porcelain."

all?

Everyone's eyes fell silently on the sixteen-character seal script. Master Lu not only had outstanding skills, but also had good calligraphy and painting. Wood carvings and jade carvings were unique, but they were all carvings.

If calligraphy and painting can be combined with porcelain craftsmanship, wouldn’t it not only have the unique artistic beauty of calligraphy and painting, but also the exquisite texture of porcelain?

Imagine that scene, everyone can't wait.

This kiln porcelain suddenly had more important significance.

The temperature finally slowly dropped in everyone's expectant eyes.
