Chapter 1,124 The national trend at your fingertips
Liuxia Zhan is one of the drinking cups used for drinking in the Ming Dynasty. It refers to a small wine cup when literati gathered together to recite poems and drink wine.
The Liuxia lamp made by Wu Hao in the 19th century is exquisite and exquisite, and is the most famous.
There is a record in "Chibei Ou Tan" that "the nineteen-year-old Fuliang Liuxia lamp is famous all over the world."
Chen Wenzhe rarely makes lamps. Although the shape of the lamp is very simple, it is not easy to make it well.
What is a cup? It’s actually a small cup.
Such as: wine cup, tea cup, bar cup.
The most famous lamp is definitely the Jian lamp, such as Tianmu Yao transformed into Jian lamp.
Jianzhan originated from the Song Dynasty when there were many famous kilns. It is a black-glazed porcelain fired by Jiankiln.
The Liuxia lamp should be made of red-glazed porcelain, which is known as the national trend on your fingertips.
The autumn water flows like bright eyes, and the bird feathers and the setting clouds fly together.
This is the Liuxia lamp, but it is not an ancient Liuxia lamp, but a Liuxia lamp copied by modern technology.
Its full name should be: Peacock Spreading Secret Glaze Liuxia Lamp.
Chen Wenzhe really didn't expect that when he learned the firing technique of a Liuxia lamp from the Ming Dynasty, he would actually learn modern craftsmanship again.
And this time the harvest was even greater. Not only could he learn the firing technique of the Liuxia lamp, but he also saw the complete firing technique of the secret color porcelain of the Tang Dynasty.
And all these craftsmanship are produced by a master from Jingzhen.
This time, he directly found the manufacturing process of Liuxia Zhan through the database in Sui Hou's Pearl.
To his surprise, this highest, best, and top craftsmanship was actually developed by modern people.
Among them, the top masterpiece of art is the peacock's secret glaze flowing cloud lamp.
It was successfully developed by Deng Xiping, a national representative inheritor, who spent 23 years.
This is a kind of innovative modern color glaze kiln transformation work that integrates the secret porcelain technique lost for thousands of years and the Liuxia lamp technique lost for 600 years.
What does it mean? It is the combination of the "Secret Porcelain" firing technology of the Tang Dynasty and the "Liuxia Porcelain" firing technology of the Ming Dynasty that have been lost for many years to form a special tea cup.
This means that this new porcelain combines secret color porcelain and Liuxia lamp.
And the most praiseworthy features of each are also perfectly preserved.
The beautiful glaze pattern of the "sunset glow" of the Liuxia lamp, and the magical light effect of "water appears without water" of the secret color porcelain.
When these two characteristics are combined on a kind of porcelain, what effect will it achieve? What kind of beauty will it become?
It can be said that the emergence of this secret glaze Liuxia lamp is a fusion of the essence of Famen Temple’s “secret porcelain” and Wu Hao’s 19th-century Liuxia lamp.
It not only restores the skills of its predecessors, but also achieves transcendence and sublimation at an artistic level.
This kind of work is really too special.
The bright red glaze of this peacock's secret glaze lamp has a complete parabolic surface hanging on it.
Countless glowing rays of light appear on the glossy surface, like a bright red cup filled with gushing spring water.
Through the glow of the rays, we can see that when the glaze flows at high temperature, the beautiful pattern of "peacock in full bloom" is naturally produced.
This picture of a peacock spreading its tail is pure bright red, so it looks like flowing clouds, otherwise it would not be called a flowing cloud lamp.
Whether it is a Liuxia lamp or a secret-color porcelain, they are not ordinary things.
The porcelain craftsmen who can replicate these two techniques are definitely the top arts and crafts masters in the country.
The secret glaze Liuxia lamp is a new product of secret glaze porcelain created by the author in 2013. It has the typical characteristics of secret glaze porcelain.
The glaze is extremely bright, and when you observe the glaze from different angles, you can see the constantly moving parabolic surface.
Also, looking inside the lamp, it really looks like it is filled with natural spring water, which is very strange.
This piece of porcelain is truly a model of innovation in ancient research.
The combination of ancient craftsmanship and modern people's wild ideas creates a new type of porcelain that has never appeared before.
This secret-color Liuxia lamp is made of copper-red glaze multi-color secret glaze porcelain, which has not been reported in the world.
It is definitely an innovative work, and it is not a work that can be created casually by combining ancient craftsmanship.
The success or failure of a work of creation is definitely not determined by whether its predecessors have fired it before, but rather what the predecessors fired is definitely not as beautiful as the one they fired.
Art, to put it more vulgarly, doesn’t mean to make everyone feel beautiful?
The meanings represented are generally highbrow and not understood by everyone.
And beauty is visible to everyone.
The whole work is bright red, and inside the lamp is a vivid chrysanthemum created in a kiln. Of course, you can say it's a peacock in full bloom.
The clearly visible flower core, or tail feathers, bloom in layers, just like petals, fresh, natural, beautiful and luxurious.
This is the "Secret Glaze Liuxia Lamp", a work destined to be recorded in the history of Chinese ceramics.
Recreating the miracle in the history of Tang porcelain and recreating the secret glaze Liuxia lamp has been something that no one dared to think about and no one could do for many years.
Just investigating and verifying the existence of these two porcelains has taken thousands of years, let alone recreating the mysterious skills of those thousands of years ago.
But Deng Xiping did it, not only reproducing the technique, but also perfectly integrating the two techniques.
The secret glaze Liuxia lamp that brings it out of the kiln perfectly and harmoniously integrates two "special effects".
Master Deng continued to conduct in-depth research on how to present the effect of secret-color porcelain while also appearing the flowing glaze pattern of the Liuxia lamp.
It was officially completed in 2013 and named the Secret Glaze Liuxia Zhan. In the same year, the secret glaze Liuxia Zhan won an international award.
Master Deng spent more than twenty years on this process.
Chen Wenzhe also has similar thoughts, but he still has no clue.
Unexpectedly, just trying to copy a Liuxia lamp allowed him to easily find a way to surpass the peak of his predecessors.
This is a good idea and deserves careful study by Chen Wenzhe.
However, it seems that it is not easy to do so, and certainly not everyone can do it.
Chen Wenzhe knew how difficult it was to burn the secret color porcelain that had been lost for thousands of years.
Fortunately, he had already done some research, and he had already obtained a secret-color tall lotus bowl, so he had refired several pieces of secret-color porcelain before.
Now, combined with the firing technique of the Liuxia lamp, which has been lost for more than 600 years, it seems that it is not difficult to imitate the firing of a Liuxia lamp with a secret color.
Therefore, he can also combine these two porcelains into one and create a secret glaze Liuxia lamp.
Of course, this is Chen Wenzhe's confidence.
If it were someone else, even if they knew how to make secret color porcelain and Liuxia lamp, combining the two would not be so easy.
But, he can cheat!
With the Sui Marquis Pearl as a cheating device and Chen Wenzhe's strong foundation, it seems that it is not difficult to combine the two.
Therefore, if he studies hard, he should be able to quickly master the firing technique of the secret-glazed Liuxia lamp.
However, after looking at Master Deng Xiping’s creation process, Chen Wenzhe had to sigh that any innovation is not easy!
