How to appreciate the difference between rabbit hair and rabbit hair?

As one of the most productive types of architectural lamps in the kiln site of Song Dynasty, rabbit-hair lamp can also be regarded as the representative of architectural lamps in Song Dynasty. Song Huizong's "Jade is the best", which is often quoted, refers to the rabbit lantern built in the Song Dynasty. So both of them are rabbit lights, and there are advantages and disadvantages. Let's talk about how to appreciate the rabbit's lamp.

1. Why is rabbit hair called rabbit hair lamp?

The distribution pattern of crystallization stripes of rabbit millipede is in the black glaze layer, revealing a uniform and fine filamentous rib, just like a rabbit millipede, so this lamp is called rabbit millipede. The word rabbit hair has gradually become popular since the Song Dynasty, and it can be regarded as a long history and culture.

Rabbit hair is one of the most popular varieties in the station, and even one can be removed. Archaeological achievements, historical documents and famous products handed down from generation to generation all prove its special status.

For example, there are countless poems related to tea in the Song Dynasty, and there are also many poems related to building lanterns. Many tea books take the rabbit making a lamp as the first one. "Tea set Tuzan" also directly painted the tea lamp of one of the twelve tea sets as a rabbit's millilamp. From this point of view, the status of rabbit's millilamp is indeed so.

2. Appreciation and performance of rabbit lanterns.

As mentioned earlier, the output of rabbit millie lamp is very high, but it is still very difficult to burn high-quality rabbit millie, whether in Song Dynasty or in modern times. Seeing the fragments and remnants of rabbits in the ruins of the kiln site, we can know how much the kiln-burning craftsmen paid for a high-quality lamp in the Song Dynasty.

The hairline of rabbits is very rich in shape and distribution. There are long bends and short bends in shape. Colors are gold, silver, brown and so on. And the distribution is also relatively dense.

In a word, the rabbit's stripes are densely distributed and the shape is smooth, and the crystal three-dimensional building lamp is a fine building lamp.

Moreover, this density should not be too much or too little, which will make people feel that rabbit hair is radial from the inside out, which has a lot of comfort from a distance and looks more eye-catching.

As for color, the industry generally believes that silver stripes and silver-blue stripes are more beautiful and precious than brown stripes.

The above is a general view of rabbit hair, so the evaluation of rabbit hair lamp needs to be treated comprehensively. These situations are different.

During the firing process, the lantern will change in the kiln, and the temperature and atmosphere will have different effects, thus forming different stripes, which cannot be artificially changed.

Even the same high-quality building lights will have different mottled States. A lamp will have clear and unclear moire, thick and thin, dense and sparse, and even produce different colors on a lamp.

To sum up, to appreciate the rabbit's Millie lamp and appreciate its glaze color, we usually need to look at factors such as length, thickness and cleanliness, and then the sparse distribution and mottled color.

It is best to look at it in natural light, and it is also good to add water to the lamp.

As the mainstream glaze color of Jianzhan, rabbit hair is an outstanding work in kiln transformation, which is also an important reason why many people like it for so long.
