What is building a station? Why is the little black bowl so attractive?

A cup is a vessel with a big mouth, a deep belly and a small bottom. There are many uses, common in teacups. Black glazed lamps first rose in the Five Dynasties, and in the Song Dynasty, they were highly praised by Song Huizong for their high quality in Ouning County, Jianning Prefecture, and even caused a wave of tea fights. They became the royal tea set in the Song Dynasty and were one of the representative works of black porcelain. Making lamps is simple and steady, which is an excellent choice for tea sets. It's difficult to control the results as you like, because the finished products have different stripes, which are as full of speculation and experience as gambling stones, making the building charming.

Floor lamps are directly fired, so the glaze layer along the mouth is thin, while the inner bottom of the lamp is thick, and only half glaze is applied to the outer wall, which can avoid the influence of the bottom sticking kiln during the firing process. The reason why the steeple is different from the teacups in other places is related to the local special soil. The placenta on its cross section is black or grayish black and dark brown, which is caused by quartz stone with high iron content or coarse particles.

The building is thick and hard, with metal knocking sound, commonly known as "iron tire". Because tea soup is thick and hard to cool, it is very popular with tea drinkers. The biggest feature of Jianzhan is that during the firing process, the temperature in the kiln reaches above 1300 degrees, and the iron crystalline glaze contained in the tire soil reacts with oxygen in various ways, showing different lines and colored stripes. As for what kind of spots appear, it is difficult to control, because it is very easy to change at high temperature. The green body with high iron content is picky about high temperature, and it is rarely fired without defects, but it is difficult to control what kind of markings appear. If there are no flaws and gorgeous stripes, that is the best. It is not easy to build a high-quality lamp, even it is difficult to burn it with modern technology. According to the shape, the markings baked by sword and battle can be divided into obsidian, oil drops, rabbit hair, partridge spots and other markings. Among them, golden rabbit hair and silver rabbit hair are the main ones.

The charm of the little black bowl is not limited to words, but seeing is believing. Only when you see the real floor lamp and appreciate it, make a cup of fragrant tea and taste it carefully, can you know why Song Huizong likes fighting tea.
