Chen Wenzhe could clearly see that after they cleaned the ancient tomb, they reinforced and expanded it, forming another secret treasure cave.
This treasure is hidden more than 20 meters underground. After all, the ancient tomb is 17 or 18 meters deep. Including the depth of the ancient tomb, it must be more than 20 meters.
There must be many treasures hidden in such a secret tomb.
Although Chen Wenzhe didn't see how many things were hidden inside, the burial objects in that ancient tomb were enough for him to take a look.
Especially those exquisite jades, if they are found, Chen Wenzhe will definitely learn more skills.
Those craftsmen back then were probably the first batch of Han people to enter that mountainous area.
They were sent there to build a tomb for the King of Nanyue or to prepare a retreat.
So a large number of top craftsmen were hidden there to make luxury goods for them.
It can be said that those craftsmen should have been the most skilled people in the country at that time.
After seeing the location where the last jade ring was unearthed, Chen Wenzhe ended this retrospective.
He was originally tracking two Japs' transport ships, so he stopped at the small port here because the inland river here was probably where the last two ships appeared.
Well now, I unexpectedly discovered a little devil's stronghold.
If there was a transport fleet whose final destination was here, would the last two remaining ships have gone to that stronghold?
If that's the case, then it all ties together.
After dinner, Chen Wenzhe returned to the factory and was ready to complete the order.
After walking around the factory, especially the various mechanical equipment, Chen Wenzhe was very satisfied.
Now there is no need for workers and clay, after all, there is a complete assembly line.
In the porcelain industry, if you want to use machinery, there are still many processes that can replace manual labor, such as mixing clay.
Of course, this kind of porcelain clay did not meet Chen Wenzhe's requirements, so he selected some from it and mixed it again.
When he felt it was ready, he directly made a large number of plates.
Of course, the soup bowl also needs to be drawn, but compared to the plate, the soup bowl, that is, the embryo is a little thicker, so it is not difficult to make.
It has been a long time since I made porcelain, so Chen Wenzhe wanted to practice his skills first.
He didn't make much modern porcelain, so this was an opportunity.
With just a little thought, he made a few more tea bowls, the kind of covered bowls with saucers and tea lids.
A set of three pastel tea bowls. If they are well made, they will be really beautiful.
Judging from the style of the casually made pastel tea bowl, it doesn't look like it was made by Qianlong, but it looks a bit like Kangxi's.
The shape of Qianlong pastel porcelain is actually similar to that of modern porcelain. The biggest difference is the craftsmanship and glaze color.
Pastel porcelain was created and fired in the late Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. It is an overglaze color process invented on the basis of Kangxi five-color porcelain and influenced by the enamel production process. Because of its elegant color and pink beauty, it is called "pink".
color".
The main raw materials and application methods of pastel are all imported.
During production, the fired bisque is laid with glass white as a base, patterns are painted using Chinese painting techniques, and then grilled over a low-temperature fire.
Pastel wares at that time were all fired by Jingzhen Kiln.
Although Kangxi was a foreign emperor, and many people are complaining about it now, he was still very capable in being able to secure his position.
Also, this is the longest reigning emperor in the history of our country.
He reigned for 61 years. In order to learn from the historical lessons of the rise and fall of the Ming Dynasty, he devoted himself to the study of Han culture.
He was good at introducing and adopting advanced Western science and technology. Therefore, Kangxi made great progress in all aspects of society.
Similarly, ceramic production is also making rapid progress and has achieved brilliant achievements.
For example, during the Kangxi period, pastel and enamel painted porcelain techniques were newly created.
If you want to make Qianlong pastels, you must know Kangxi pastels, or be able to make Kangxi pastels.
Qianlong pastels can be regarded as a masterpiece of pastels, but if you don’t know how to make Kangxi pastels and don’t understand Kangxi pastels, you will definitely not be able to make qualified Qianlong pastels.
There were many artistic achievements during the Kangxi period. For example, in the decoration of utensils, in order to highlight the exquisiteness of the patterns, a specific shape was left in a certain part of the utensils during the Kangxi period.
Such as sector, circle, rhombus, etc.
Then, it is decorated with patterns inside, which is commonly known as "consecration".
It is this relatively complicated craftsmanship that suits the aesthetics of Europeans, or rather foreigners.
This is also an important reason why countless people at home and abroad have been pursuing porcelain from the third generation of Qing Dynasty since modern times.
Since the pastel products of the Kangxi period were in their infancy, there are relatively few official kiln products that have been handed down.
At that time, the fetal bones of the utensils were thicker, and the paintings were simple. The patterns were mainly clouds and dragons, and there was a lot of white space on the screen. The elegance was seen in the sparseness, which made people daydream.
But it was different during the Qianlong period. At that time, pastels were very popular, and in the field of colored porcelain, they had replaced five colors and tended to dominate.
During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, pastels began to sprout as an art of overglaze painting on porcelain.
By the Yongzheng period, it had matured and formed a unique style of pastel decoration. During the Qianlong period, pastel decoration was very prosperous.
The artistic effect of Qianlong pastels is known for its beauty, elegance, softness and softness.
This is inseparable from the white and exquisite porcelain. They set off each other, complement each other, and combine organically.
The utensils of the Qianlong period are famous for their newness, novelty and ingenuity. They are not as elegant as the porcelain of the Ming Dynasty, not as simple and vigorous as the Kangxi porcelain, and not as beautiful and elegant as the Yongzheng period. Instead, they present a graceful, luxurious, exquisite and exquisite style.
It can even be said that the craftsmanship of Qianlong pastels is unprecedented and unprecedented.
In terms of shape, we have created uniquely revolving bottles, lantern bottles, with engravings, etc.
In terms of decoration, there are imitation lacquer ware, stone ware, jade ware, wood ware, bamboo ware, mountain rocks and other pastel ware.
Often a color ground is added to the white porcelain, such as green, yellow, blue, carmine, purple, etc., which is attractive.
Therefore, there must be a reason why Qianlong pastels are expensive.
Besides, Qianlong pastels are said to be unprecedented and unprecedented, so it will definitely be difficult for modern people to imitate them.
In fact, if you think about it, you will know that they are manufactured with the power of one country.
But now there are no official kilns, and all the counterfeiters are fighting against a country with the power of one person.
This kind of firing cannot reach the level of the Qianlong period, which is considered normal.
Chen Wenzhe is naturally different, he can cheat.
He can be regarded as standing at the pinnacle of art in the past, through a process of continuous learning and transcendence.
I don’t dare to think about surpassing it now, but it would be great to be able to imitate it.
Kangxi's utensils are simple and thick, with relatively simple shapes and not too complicated decorations, so it is not difficult to copy them.
