Why is Tianjin clay figurine Zhang's clay figurine as good as new after a hundred years?

Surely everyone has heard of it? Nu Wa made people? The story is simple. Nu Wa created human beings from clay. Of course, this is a myth, but clay figurine is indeed a craft. Now, the most famous clay figurine is Zhang's clay figurine. Even if the past hundred years are still as good as new, it is because it has a great relationship with the local soil. Let's see what is going on.

First of all, let's take a look at the simple process of making an ordinary clay figurine, that is, adding a little cotton fiber into the clay, then stirring constantly, slowly squeezing out clay blanks of various shapes, drying in the shade, coating with bottom powder, and then coloring. This process is very difficult, and the technical requirements for the producers are very high. Especially the choice of soil is very particular. Among them, clay figurine Zhang chose local soil in Tianjin to build it. The soil here is too salty, and it can evaporate the water with high salinity after experiencing strong sunlight in the back. At this time, the effect of weather resistance and aging is directly and significantly improved.

At this point, there is a qualitative gap between the time and quality of clay figurines in other places Then, after manual screening and filtering, the magazine is taken out greatly, and then it is integrated with cotton wool for several hours and hammered for several hours, and it is perfectly integrated. At this point, the clay figurine has been preserved for a long time, but it is not over yet.

Finally, it will take another three years to complete in a cellar with a specific temperature and humidity. But how hard is it to be a clay figurine? No wonder these traditional crafts are disappearing more and more now. Bian Xiao here hopes that everyone will support our traditional crafts and not let them disappear in our generation; Finally, the clay figurine Zhang's clay figurine effect is very good, no matter the quality or the preservation time, even after a hundred years, it is still brand-new, which is the charm of human craftsman spirit.
