Blue and White Porcelain

When talking about Jay Chou, we have to mention a song. Because of the title, people who don’t know the creation process of this song think that this song is about blue and white porcelain. In fact, what Fang Wenshan wrote was about Ru porcelain.

According to what he said on a variety show, Jay Chou composed the song first and then asked him to write the lyrics.

It just so happened that he knew many friends who appreciated antiques and were interested in this area, so he wanted to use this inspiration to create his works. At first, he wanted to write about bronze ware.

But after listening to the music, I felt that its gentle and subtle style did not match bronze ware, so I thought of porcelain.

The song was originally named after Ru porcelain, and the meaning of the lyrics was also inspired by Ru porcelain.

'The sky is blue and waiting for the rain, and I am waiting for you' is the phrase that best describes this feature.

It’s just that Ru porcelain is too niche, so after looking up information, Fang Wenshan used the name blue and white porcelain, which is more familiar to the public.

In his later lectures, he also talked about an interesting thing after the song was completed. After writing the lyrics, Fang Wenshan found Jay Chou and told him the song was called "Blue and White Porcelain".

As a result, Jay Chou misheard it and heard it as frog pond.

Because he thought of this song, he searched for it in the knowledge base. Lu Qingfeng only then realized what was going on, so he could naturally take out the song.

The flying thoughts return, and Qujiang is still explaining.

"The azure color of Ru porcelain is extremely sensitive to the temperature, humidity, and cooling rate inside the kiln. In ancient times, there was a lack of precise temperature control technology, so they would generally choose rainy days with high humidity to allow natural conditions to stabilize the glaze color."

"After the initial bisque firing to increase the stability and water absorption of the body, it is time to apply the glaze."

Each step is extremely tedious.

Qu Jiang said as he showed it to everyone.

Clamp the preliminarily fired body, immerse it in the prepared glaze, bake it in a charcoal furnace, and set it aside.

The most special firing method is called sesame nail support firing, which is to place three small supports on the ground during firing so that the bottom foot does not touch the kiln, so as to achieve a state of almost full glaze.

"After leaving the kiln, the top support is removed, leaving a sesame-sized mark, so it is called sesame nail support firing."

Qu Jiang fired a furnace on the spot, using the same red brick kiln that everyone had seen when they came up earlier. The overall shape was a Chinese character "品", with the main body of the porcelain firing in the middle and fire placed on both sides for heating.

The saggers filled with semi-finished products are put into the furnace, the entrance is sealed with bricks and yellow mud, and then it is a process of waiting.

"Traditional firing takes another twelve hours, but electric firing can be shorter. Furthermore, compared to modern processes that use electric kilns to control temperature, manual firing has a lower yield rate, normally only around 5%."

Qu Jiang took out a batch of Ru porcelain that had been fired earlier.

The colors are extremely beautiful, but unfortunately most of them have defects. Some of them fall over and stick together during the firing process, some of them have uneven glaze flow, and many of them have vitrified glazes and lost their jade texture.

These are all failed works.

"A good finished product has an oily glaze, a simple and elegant color, no obvious vitrification, and the body is not translucent; it is pure and warm, with a soft and subtle luster on the glaze, similar to the inner meaning of ancient jade."

He also took out a few finished products to show them to a few people.

……

The program was recorded here, and today's content was almost over. Before leaving, everyone was given a flawed Ru porcelain teacup, including the staff.

The embryos made by hand by Lu Qingfeng and others were kept, and Qu Jiang said that he would send them to them after glazing and firing.

Today's recording schedule was very interesting and Lu Qingfeng felt it was worth the trip.

The filming of the special is still ongoing. Under the arrangement of the program team, life in the mountain village is not boring. People go up the mountain to pick wild vegetables, dig spring bamboo shoots, fly kites, and draw spring ox pictures.

It was a novel experience for several people.

On the last day, the five of them also participated in the rural wedding banquet as a temporary wedding band. The host was the Han family who gave them the fish, and they played the "Wedding March".

The shooting ended in a lively atmosphere and we started our return journey.

After arriving at Star City International Airport, the five people flew to different destinations.

Lu Qingfeng returned to Yanjing, Li Yinan went to Shanghai, Si Hanyun went to Hong Kong, Tong Jin returned to China, and Liu Qianya had a performance in Europe.

After filming this special, apart from a live concert at the end of April, it will probably be difficult for the five of them to get together in the future. It’s not true to say that they have a deep bond.

When recording a variety show together, they seem like good colleagues. They look like a perfect couple on the show, but they don’t actually interact with each other in private.

For example, Li Yinan and Tong Jin, these two people don’t get along well with each other and basically never talk to each other in private.

Lu Qingfeng got along well with everyone, and he had a very close relationship with Liu Qianya, and they had a good chat before.

During this shoot, it seems that because of the other person's menstrual period and the need to take care of each other, their friendship was further upgraded and they became good friends who could chat more casually.

I also get along well with Li Yinan, since we are both in the orchestra, we can talk about a lot.

Because of Si Hanyun's looks and the age difference, she always has the mentality of being an older sister, but in fact, it is Lu Qingfeng who takes care of her without leaving any trace.

Maybe it was because I felt comfortable being with him and chatting with him, so we became close naturally.

There is a saying that goes, if you feel comfortable with someone, it probably means that this person is backward compatible.

Lu Qingfeng felt that it was indeed the case.

As for Tong Jin, she couldn't communicate with Li Yinan. It was difficult for two girls to interrupt the conversation, so when they were not recording, she naturally chatted with him more.

Lu Qingfeng is actually also accommodating him.

So when we said goodbye at the airport, he was the busiest. Everyone was greeting him, saying that the show was over and they wanted to keep in touch in the future.

Socialite Lu Qingfeng nodded sincerely one by one.

The flights were at different times, so Li Yinan, Si Hanyun and Tong Jin left first, leaving Lu Qingfeng and Liu Qianya sitting in the lounge chatting idly.

At this time, the phone received a WeChat message from Zhu Zhichang.

He was talking about his solo concert at the end of the month.

The city was decided very early on, Shenzhen, Guangdong Province. Promotion was already underway during his filming phase, and tickets will go on sale on major ticketing platforms at 0:00 this Saturday.

The event is currently very popular online, and many people are already gearing up to grab tickets. It seems that all the tickets will be sold out.

That's pretty good.

After all, concerts are not like star concerts. Many times, even foreign musicians may not be able to sell all the tickets.

His own popularity has added a lot.

Zhu Zhichang sent him a WeChat message asking him if he wanted to invite a few guests.

Lu Qingfeng's heart moved, and he looked at Liu Qianya beside him and made a tentative invitation.

"Sister Xixi, I have a concert in Shenzhen at the end of this month. Do you have time? I'd like to invite you as a guest."

Liu Qianya looked at him.

"First time holding a special performance?"

Lu Qingfeng nodded.

"I feel a little uncertain."

"Okay, just send the specific time to my aunt."

The piano queen readily agreed.
