The vegetative embryo is good, the glaze is prepared, and finally the glaze is applied.

Both the inner and outer layers of the blank need to be glazed, usually using the glaze method of holding the ring foot in your hand, and some use brushing method.

The glaze should not be too thin, as it is difficult to produce fine products; it should not be too thick, as it is easy to stick to the bottom.

There is also half-glaze application, which is a major feature of Jianzhan craftsmanship.

Because if you apply full glaze at will, the bottom will be stuck at high temperature due to the flow of glaze.

In the Song Dynasty, a glaze stop line was specially repaired to facilitate the control of the glaze range.

In this process, the most important thing is qualified glaze ore, and then pine oil diesel.

These two most primitive and simple substances, coupled with the pine oil diesel added during the firing process, can be fired into the beautiful Jianzhan (crystalline glaze).

Even so, the markings and colors are formed randomly and cannot be controlled by humans.

Cooking porcelain is sometimes troublesome because there are too many steps step by step.

Of course, these can be done in one go, but sometimes, you need to wait.

For example, after glaze, you need to wait for drying.

After glaze, place the glaze blank in a ventilated and dry place.

After that, you need to brush the glaze because the glaze layer is not thick enough, you can apply a layer of glaze after it is dried.

Finally, clear the foot, which means removing the excess glaze water from the glaze blank.

At this time, another major process is completed and it will be fired in the kiln at this time.

Before entering the kiln, powder is needed. This is to prevent the Jiankang from sticking to the fullest during the firing process. A thin and uniform layer of refractory alumina powder/quartz sand powder is needed to sprinkle on the silhouette.

Jian kilns in the Song Dynasty were Changlong kilns, while electric kilns were used in modern times.

When loading a kiln, the electric kiln usually puts alumina on the bottom of the tire to prevent sticking, while the dragon kiln is packaged in a casket.

After all the preliminary processes are completed, the blank can be loaded into the corresponding kiln and the kiln door can be closed.

At this step, we have to start firing the kiln again.

Each craftsman has different firing techniques and different kiln systems. He operates according to his own processes and ceases when the temperature rises to about 1300c.

It's simple to say, but this step is indeed the key to the entire firing and building the kiln.

Roasting is the kiln firing process that truly determines the quality and color of Jianzhan. This is a technical difficulty that Jianzhan cannot bypass.

Not only did the Song Dynasty craftsmen understand the difficulties, but modern craftsmen also deeply understood them.

Jianzhan should be fired in a kiln at a high temperature of 1200 to 1300 degrees, and there should be a good reduction atmosphere.

Today's electric kilns cannot automatically maintain the restored atmosphere, and still require manual undulant oil and diesel control.

During the firing process, two elements are the most critical: one is temperature and the other is time.

After the blank is entered into the kiln, the craftsman must concentrate on carefully controlling the degree of restoration and cannot leave the kiln for a long time, regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter.

To make the most perfect Jianzhan, the temperature in every corner of the kiln needs to be 100% controlled during the firing process.

And the duration of each temperature can be accurate to seconds.

But this is almost impossible, so no Jianzhan is perfect.

It is for this reason that the firing rate of Jianzhan is very low. "Four beautiful things are often made of thousands of miles apart, and they are fulfilled by God."

Therefore, after leaving the kiln, defective products will inevitably be produced in each kiln and will be processed on site.

Only products that pass the quality inspection can appear before the world and show unspeakable fantasy.

Of course, all of this requires a ceasefire and a cold kiln can be seen before it can be seen after the temperature in the kiln is reduced.

When the temperature in the kiln drops to the specified temperature, it is usually below 100c. When the kiln door is opened, the final product will be released like this!

As the saying goes, when entering a kiln, rely on people, and when leaving a kiln, rely on heaven.

Under the baptism of the kiln fire, Jianzhan, which was released from the kiln, may not be satisfactory or amazed the world.

Therefore, after each Jianzhan is successfully born, there is still a choice.

If the defective cup is analyzed, it will be destroyed.

The successful Jianzhan was registered and finally appeared on the market and was appreciated by people.

So, after looking at so many steps, we will know that the steps of Jianzhan are linked together, all of which are "grasshoppers on a rope", and one moves a hundred moves.

Every Jiankang is hard-won, which contains the hard work of the craftsmen and the waiting and expectation of looking through the autumn water outside the kiln.

And a perfect Jianzhan is hard to come by, and the finest products are even more selected from thousands of miles away.

Only by burning ten thousand pieces can one quality appear. What is the probability?

Of course, what we are talking about here is the finest. The finest is the perfect Jianzhan, but not the perfect kiln-turned Jianzhan.

Such as rabbit hair cups, golden rabbit hairs, silver rabbit hairs, etc., or simply accidentally burned flare Tianmu Chuan, these treasures are often one in a million possible.

When Chen Wenzhe started making Jianzhan, he could only rely on God's will. The most important thing he had to be familiar with the firing process of this kind of porcelain.

After a few kilns are released, the yield rate is very high, he will start pursuing high-quality products.

So can the flare Tianmu Knives be burned under artificial control?

It's really possible now, but it's very difficult.

It is more difficult to burn, so the price is expensive.

And the price is expensive, so someone must have studied it.

Therefore, Chen Wenzhe can stand on the shoulders of his predecessors, gather the craftsmanship and techniques of the masters to create the fine Jianzhan he wants.

Because the black-glazed tea cup like Yaobian Tianmu is not seen in my country (complete instrument).

The physical objects are hidden in neon art museums and museums, and are only open for exhibition every seven years.

In fact, there is a fourth or even a fifth item in this world, but there is controversy behind it.

For example, the fourth piece was unearthed in the country and was unearthed in Hangzhou.

In the first half of 2009, the ruins of Shangcheng District, Hangzhou City were unearthed.

However, it was a broken tool, about a quarter of which was lost, but the ring foot was well preserved.

The original shape of the instrument is also quite clear, with the shady marks on the inner wall of the instrument showing a dreamy brilliance.

Although this piece is a broken tool, it is still very beautiful through the pictures on display.

It is like the collection of Jingjiatang Art Museum, with a blue light change as the base tone, and a purple-red light appears as the angle of light.

This feature is also one of the characteristics of Yaobian Tianmuzhan.

The three items abroad are all in Neon, while the only one in China is a residual product, which can only be counted as half.

Of course, in addition to these three and a half pieces of flare Tianmuzhang that have confirmed their identity, there are still some controversial ones.

The Yaobianzhan unearthed in Hangzhou was actually controversial when it first appeared.

Everyone knows the origin of Jianzhan's name, but what is surprising is that Yaobianzhan has not been discovered again in the Jianzhan ruins in Jianyang Shuiji, Fuzhou Province.

Of course, this is a matter of the matter. In the hands of some collectors in Chizhong Village and Houjing Village, there should be some fragments of Yaobianzhan.

At least as early as the 1980s, there was a legend in the local area that someone had handled a fragment of Yaobianzang.
