Jianzhan's "five beauties and three wonders"

Jianzhan, produced in Jianyang District, Nanping City, Fujian Province, is the representative of black porcelain, one of the eight famous porcelains in the Song Dynasty, and enjoys the reputation of "the pearl of porcelain altar". Jian Zheng is a kind of black glazed porcelain, which is made of red loam with high iron content in Jianyang as the main raw material. After several processes such as kneading mud, drawing blank and glazing, it is fired at the mouth of the kiln. Xie Daohua, a famous archaeologist, said that Jianzhang was a kiln factory for firing porcelain in ancient Jianyang, and Jianzhang was the most famous among the porcelain fired by Jianzhang. In history, both emperors and generals, as well as literati, admired Jane Eyre and left a lot of historical stories.

//Five Beauty of Building a Station//

Functional beauty

Drinking tea with spikes is very beneficial to the heat preservation of tea soup, and it can soften the water quality and stimulate the fragrance of tea. It is not easy to turn sour and leave tea stains at high temperature in summer, and it is easy to clean after use.

beauty in form

The shape of architectural lights is designed from many aspects, such as size, proportion, rhythm and so on. It is not surprising that the lines are straight and the shape is simple. Its proper scale grasp makes architectural lamps unique. The lines in the shape of the floor lamp are like inverted triangles, which give people a sense of stability, straightness, conciseness and clarity, and create a quiet and elegant aesthetic style.

Beauty of materials

The reddish-brown clay with high iron content (iron content 7%- 10%) produced by Shuiji is used for burning Jianzhan. The firing time of Jianzhan glaze is about 1300 degrees, not only using tire soil, but also using local natural mineral glaze with high iron content.

Youmei

Lamps do not need heavy ink, but they can be colorful and gorgeous and naturally formed in the kiln. And this gorgeous is deeply hidden under its low-key and quiet appearance. The black of Jianzhan is an all-inclusive mystery. At first glance, it is dull and tasteless, but it hides all kinds of beautiful glaze colors.

Craft beauty

The process of making lamps is to pursue constant changes and capture the best images in the kiln fire. It is painting in a kiln and pursuing divine change. It is difficult to improve the fineness of the mark. It's not something you can do repeatedly after you know the formula. Its launch is limited by many factors. Therefore, no matter ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, excellent architectural works are very rare.

//The "Three Musts" of Making Lights//

The carcass is thick and heavy, and it is difficult to cool after heating for a long time.

Building a lamp, the carcass is thick, and drinking tea for a long time is difficult to be cold. Normal firing and high temperature firing are adopted, so the glaze around the mouth is thin and the glaze at the bottom of the lamp gathers. Semi-glaze is applied to the outer wall, which effectively avoids the problem of sticking to the kiln at the bottom of firing.

There are many small pores in the fetus, which is very conducive to the insulation of tea soup. It is even said that the porosity of architectural glaze determines its function of improving water quality. Pores can adsorb calcium and magnesium particles, reduce the hardness of water and become soft and sweet. Therefore, Cai Xiang said in the Book of Tea: "The color of tea is white, and it should be black. Jian' an is made of black, the lines are like rabbit hair, and the blank is slightly thicker ... It is difficult to cool after a long time of heat, and it is the most important to use. Those who go out from other places, whether thin or purple, are not as good as them. "

From the inside out, the iron content is high

The basic characteristics of Jian Yao black porcelain fetal quality are: the cross section is black or grayish black and dark brown, which is caused by high iron content; The fetal bone is thick and hard, with a metallic sound, commonly known as "iron tire", which feels heavy; There are more sand grains, so the tire quality is rough and the exposed tire feels rough. This kind of tire soil is unique to Jian 'an. Of course, as mentioned above, building lamps can keep warm. Besides, building a lamp can soften the water quality and let us taste better tea. Moreover, Jianzhan has a good fresh-keeping effect and can effectively prevent deterioration.

Not only the tires in the floor lamp, but also the glaze contains high iron content. The interaction between the two makes the natural spots and flow lines appear, which is absolutely exquisite.

The mark is changeable, depending on the will of God.

The same tire soil and the same glaze have different changes under the atmosphere of reduction firing in the kiln. Or smooth rabbit hair, or bright partridge spots, or obsidian changes like starry sky. Everything is unknown, everything is not necessarily satisfactory, but everything lies in the experience that you gradually realize in your heart.

"One color in the kiln, a thousand things outside the kiln", each building is unique in the world. Stripes are swaying in the tea soup, like a dream, which makes people fondle it.
