Porcelain was used until 1995 Ingenious structure Make different kiln temperature is not the same can be burned at the same time Dozens of different types of porcelain The firing temperature of blue and white porcelain is relatively high Generally around 1,300 degrees but the exact temperature It's a secret from the outside world.

Shou No two words are repeated. Superb craftsmanship and fantastic ideas Together they create a legend. Fine Arts and Crafts Speaking as sister art It should be said that each other are related and influential decoration of porcelain At first it was relatively simple. Then there's the patterning Blue and white porcelain born from cultural exchange For thousands of years has never stopped evolving and innovating China's profound and unique painting art Continuously inject new artistic language into handicrafts Blue and white porcelain of different times Create a different beauty Especially in the Ming Dynasty Our artisans engaged in porcelain painting decoration They learn from literati painting Take their things into porcelain paintings. Is the decorative art of porcelain is a lift A boost to taste early last century A bold entertainer in Jingdezhen, Wang Bu For the first time, the techniques of traditional Chinese ink painting Introduction of blue and white porcelain created a A drawing process called water splitting Like the ancient blue and white It only shades Missing a middle color So what about words like his Put that blue and white Blue and white pigment blue and white material It's like ink. well used It can be said that ink is divided into five colors. even more Using different proportions of ancient materials and water Separate nine different color levels Henceforth Blue and white porcelain began to take on a different look. But in the traditional team of craftsmen Or the obvious figure of professional painters From ancient times to the present They all think ceramics are handicrafts. Then the painter As a pure Chinese painter He disdains to do crafts Because he is a painter What about painters and artisans He's two concepts many painters He's not involved in this. He only goes occasionally Draw something to play with. Until Contemporary This tradition was broken. Production of blue and white porcelain Painters began to participate. Ye Jianxin and Lu Lujun is the representative of them And their desire to enter the line of blue and white porcelain the same Porcelain this thing So much impact on the world The world can know us China through porcelain So I feel like Such a profound thing So recognized by the world. An art recognized by all the people of the world myself as a Chinese painter Should praise this ceramic carrier Well, in that case... Why not try it? Transplant Chinese painting into the world I said I put my ink Convert to ceramic painting as early as 1991 Lu Lujun is eager to be on porcelain Show your talents. With the reputation of famous Chinese painting artists Soon he was asked to paint on porcelain. But Lu Lujun, who picked up the paintbrush soon discovered It's a little different from painting on rice paper. Of course it's okay to draw this. I look at the painting is also very beautiful But still very proud Because burning out this Faint to show the shadow Just a little shadow It's like the one that took the picture in the past. black wave photo Poor exposure Wash out this only a faint layer of shadow Lu spent three years Only then mastered the essentials of firing blue and white porcelain Flagship's waste is too much to count smashed porcelain Smashed a lot Hit me later tears will see down And not smash a batch Strange porcelain is not allowed to stay in the world It's a disrespect for art mercilessly Smash waste and defective products It's a powerful tradition in the blue and white porcelain industry. This makes the yield of blue and white porcelain extremely low But it also created the pure and noble blue and white porcelain Ye Jianxin's Contact with Blue and White Porcelain Is Later Than Lu Lu Jun When Lu Lujun has been immersed in the world of blue and white Ye Jianxin is still tirelessly Studying Chinese Ink Art Eventually created their own new ink painting Just say you want to put the breath of this era into it. So that's what I call new ink You put this momentum A Spirit of Qi Yun III Put it in one of your ways Show it Actually enough. After contact with blue and white porcelain Ye Jianxin also spent two years To master the characteristics of ceramics and ancient materials But Ye Jianxin thinks As long as you have a deep foundation and understanding of traditional painting Chinese ink painting techniques for thousands of years Can be transplanted to ceramics good rice paper If painted. Every water trail It can leave that watermark down But it's stronger on ceramics than it is. Just every one of you Even if the way the pen moves on it This stroke above each trench. It's all on display So this is what I was studying I said rice paper can achieve the effect above can reach Rice paper does not reach the effect above can also reach Ink is the essence of traditional Chinese painting is believed to have placed people Understanding and Emotion of the World Embrace the new ink blue and white porcelain and thus obtained a special and novel artistic mood Don't thicken the material Add it all together Because it is wet when added together. Wet material is wet So what? must be washed Cover it together and together Together with the ground It is equivalent to the fine material of the Chinese people Lu Lujun also hopes to be on porcelain Create your own artistic conception Xuejing is his favorite It is said that as early as hundreds of years ago There have been works of Xuejing blue and white published But then because the production process is too difficult Has been lost for a long time Because of the snow. It is solid But it's solid in the middle It is also a very special kind It's hard to express It is both virtual and real It's real and it's virtual. Such a grasp of the scenery For the texture of snow such an expression In ancient times speaking The level requirement of blue and white virtual mirror map is relatively high. The traditional blue and white flowers of the scenery five levels You can't make a blue and white mirror at all. It's a snowy side From depth to dark part transition from light to dark To more than 30 law system Rely on those five levels It can't draw a blue and white virtual mirror. After hundreds of failures 2002年 Lu Lujun's Blue and White Works "Ruixue" finally come out And won the Hong Kong World Chinese Art Exhibition Gold Award From then on, Lu Lujun's blue and white works Collectors at home and abroad Collections for hundreds of thousands More painters set foot in the field of blue and white for this ancient craft bring more changes These different styles of blue and white rhetoric Showing a distinctive artist personality From unknown craftsman to master craftsman And then to the painter. Blue and white words always follow the footsteps of the times Lively and without losing demeanor Liao Zhidan, a young arts and crafts artist in Jingdezhen I opened a small studio. Because I have studied basic art courses such as traditional Chinese painting, oil painting and sketching. Liao Zhidan is more bold in the innovation of blue and white rhetoric Because blue and white from ancient times to the present It is based on feng shui But what do I think Can you use the traditional feng shui And now like this school of western painting Is it possible to combine Like my three stone tree this thing It's all more traditional. Like my clouds and water I used a feeling of western painting to record the painting. For Jingdezhen ceramics A traditional process has produced a visual match. How to be different from others Maybe only a little difference Maybe this little bit From my personal point of view I think it should be very difficult For the profound tradition of blue and white rhetoric Innovation may be more difficult than inheritance But today's Chinese think Let the blue and white rhetoric into modern life Is the best protection and development On porcelain and traditional culture Chinese in different industries Hit yourself with different experiences In Tianjin Zhang Lianzhi, a successful businessman who loves collecting Take every opportunity to collect porcelain Even pieces 2002年9月 Zhang Lianzhi spent 30 million yuan Buy a century-old building. Decided to transform it into a porcelain building For China's long porcelain culture Building a Vivid Monument 2007年9月 The whole body is inlaid with more than 400 million pieces of ancient porcelain. More than 13,000 ancient porcelain plates Porcelain House with Ancient Porcelain Bowl officially open to the outside world My house is hundreds of years old The house in France. I gave it a second life With Chinese symbols Put it back on Chinese clothes I think what I want to do Blue and white porcelain is the protagonist of this porcelain house There are many precious round blue and white blue petals Outline a natural architectural decoration Whether it's a finished product or a piece. When they are brought together by new emotions It goes beyond the aesthetic connotation of blue and white porcelain And gained the power to cross history In the rapid development of modern China The soul of blue and white porcelain not only has no tail Instead, because of the new breath of modern life And glowed with youth and vitality this special gift made of white silk decorated with elegant blue embroidery It brings out the softness and freshness of oriental women. The designer of the dress You Jia, an associate professor at Beijing Institute of Fashion 2008年 Her blue and white porcelain dress Stand out from the many applications Become the Olympic Games award ceremony clothes can be seen on the clothes Lots of patterns Is to take blue and white porcelain on the pattern elements But a little tweaked Because the pattern on the blue and white porcelain Can't completely copy it down We are the main pattern Flowers some roll grass Intercept it. And apply it to clothing. According to the structure of the garment to design it again. but all its element points It's all from blue and white porcelain. carried out down in Beijing, the capital of China Blue and white porcelain in another way into people's daily lives Beitucheng Station on Beijing Metro Line 8 Blue and white porcelain incarnate unique space decorative art The atmosphere is also eye-catching If there are too many more This design was done by two young designers in Beijing The appearance of this blue and white It's a completely accidental thing. In the process of turning over magazines see one It's just a bit like hand-painted. So a very strange picture very, very beautiful So I thought at the time The blue and white this element Can it be used in this space? Blue and White Flowers of Yuan Dynasty In fact, it is a very rare thing Because there are not many extant. And its aesthetic And its unique things In a long time is buried And then we also knew The illustrations and patterns in the blue and white flowers is very rich but basically what we chose Or with this flower and curly grass To do this kind of Why? Because it's not too controversial Nor does it specifically point to It gives a feeling of beauty We feel this in public space is particularly appropriate I mean, I think In fact, blue and white porcelain brought me This biggest touch In fact, this is the kind of detail A mechanical digital method is not available. To measure this beauty One more magical craft It's not as strong as the human heart. To keep the tradition alive People with their own wisdom of fire Burning out a beautiful pattern Blue and white porcelain was thus able to pass through Times of drastic change Always accompany our lives
