一家五口復原價值2.3億的瓷器，被故宮收藏 A Family of Five Restored 230 Million Yuan Worth of Porcelain

Guiguzi was sold for 230 million Everyone's attention was suddenly attracted to Qinghua ceramics from Yuan Dynasty It was not expected to become so popular in a few years The Palace Museum doesn't usually collect things made by modern people But it believes that the work of Guiguzi Can be replicated by modern people That's why it collected one The place is also known as Sanbao, it’s abundant in Sanbao ore In 1979 I was working in the Ceramics Gallery The Japanese gave us a set of books about ceramics And “Yuan Qinghua” was one volume of it We were shocked We knew nothing about such beautiful art that our ancestors created At that time, our country did not explicitly separate it from Ming Qinghua Made it a subject of study And started restoring Yuan Qinghua ceramics as such Before receiving the books We have also picked up a lot of Yuan Qinghua porcelain pieces on the site of ancient kilns It’s different from Ming or Qing Qinghua as well as modern Qinghua It’s big and thick, and the style is free Few people knew about Yuan Qinghua It’s classified as porcelain of the Ming Dynasty He asked for a very high price Finally we got it to one thousand yuan That’s how Jingdezhen Ceramics Museum bought it So that’s the first real Yuan Qinghua that we’ve ever seen I was in charge of the warehouse I looked closely at it everyday It became the treasure of the museum Accomplishing such a great deed for Jingdezhen Back then in the museum A group was found specifically to replicate Yuan Qinghua They were all art students And I had expertise in Qinghua Food was simple We spent all our time in the shape forming room Although it’s the initial stage It’s the first time that mainland China had ever seen replicated Yuan Qinghua At that time foreign market was very important to us Japanese loved it, they’d take them all These shapes of the Yuan Dynasty are remarkable The Ceramics Museum made some base But they were not like the original ones Throwing, trimming with knife Applying the Qing Dynasty method to the Yuan Dynasty ceramics Porcelain made this way were too smooth They just didn’t seem right Later an experienced artisan told us That these porcelains were shaped by molds That’s the reason Why they have not-so-smooth surfaces Yuan Qinghua paint is blackish blue That makes the color rich in layers Pure bright blue doesn’t look good To this day I am still trying to figure out the source of the paint There is a young man in Yunnan recently Who has been sparing no effort to find the right ore For me to do experiment with “Painting dragons should start with the nose” “It turns out weird when you start from the back” People from the Yuan Dynasty were free, and willful So they painted great paintings Ming official kilns unified the style, setting a unified standard So there was no soul in their paintings The dragons of the Yuan Dynasty were fierce and slim While Ming dragons look stupid A mineral from Sanbao Has high sodium content Sodium-containing raw materials can be made glaze It’s convenient Just seven, eight kilometers ahead Yuan Qinghua porcelains have uneven glaze We saw the carved pot in the Palace Museum It’s thicker here and thinner there Looked like it’s glazed, so we learned from it And it worked In the year of SARS, 2003 I took a few necessities And went to a town called Ruokeng in Anhui Province There was a wood kiln running I worked there alone for a year And realized that wood kiln didn’t work for Yuan Qinghua While gas kiln worked very well Burn slowly at low temperatures Historically, the literaties were not taken seriously at that time So they come to paint porcelains Like Guiguzi, Chasing Han Xin After painting it myself I felt that they were paint by the same person Who had very strong styling capability The Xiao He Chasing Han Xin at Night pattern We sat on the carpet Very carefully watched the pot The officer appears to be an officer And ordinary people are ordinary There is even grass pattern on the paddles of the boatman During the 89 years of Yuan Dynasty (actually 98 years) Yuan Qinghua progressed rapidly And achieved a lot After graduation, at Wei Min Porcelain Factory I met my wife I opened my own workshop in 1999 And my wife started making clay My son had been out there for years And finally returned to Jingdezhen My daughter understood the elements of Yuan Qinghua Decorating modern objects, making the past serve the present Doing it as a family is good So we have a common language We put a lot of energy in every little thing So we dare not to hire help Later my daughter-in-law also fell in love with it It feels great To work together as a family A while ago there was a brush pot like this that was painted with fish algae pattern My brush was too thin to achieve the effect It’s very well burned But we couldn’t sell it Though it’s ordered in advance I felt like I should paint a new one for him After all porcelain outlives us all When we are no longer alive, they are still here It’s been four decades Doing this for life is fun Now I’m still exploring You have a world of fun ahead of you
