Recycled Porcelain [Ancient Wears Today]

Gao Daquan came to the door in one stride without waiting for anyone to shout, and then the lights in the room were brightly lit.

"Teacher! Are you alright?" Xu Jiuzhao felt guilty, "It's all my fault, what's wrong with you?"

Feng Zhongbao moved a chair with great winking, and asked Zou Hengxin to sit down. Gao Daquan came over and touched his chest, but Zou Hengxin slapped him off.

"I'm fine." Zou Hengxin was annoyed, and he was embarrassed to scare other people.

He was just, just a little excited...

"Jiuzhao, I really didn't expect it." Zou Hengxin tried his best to organize his words. He took Xu Jiuzhao's hand and said, "It's a miracle! It's really a miracle!"

Zou Hengxin shed two lines of dirty tears excitedly, Xu Jiuzhao was at a loss.

Zou Hengxin held Xu Jiuzhao's hand tightly: "Do you know what I felt when I saw the three-legged smoker on the Longyou Lotus Terrace? My heart aches! It's the heartache that this ingenious and miraculous skill has been completely lost. Our country obviously has Many, many great technologies have been lost. They are only left to the infinite reverie and nostalgia of future generations.”

Zou Hengxin wiped the corners of his eyes and said with emotion: "I thought that no one would be able to create masterpieces comparable to those of the sages anymore. I never thought that today! I can see you create such a magical work with your own hands! I am so happy I can be your teacher, I am proud of you, Jiu Zhao."

Xu Jiuzhao was infected by Zou Hengxin's excitement, making Zou Hengxin proud to be his teacher is simply the highest compliment.

"Teacher, I am also very happy to be your student in this life."

The teacher and the student were moved to each other and expressed their feelings to each other, and Gao Daquan had goosebumps: "Okay, okay, don't flirt with each other here. Xiao Xu, tell me quickly, you... what the hell is this?" Made it like this?!"

Feng Zhongbao rushed to the back of the four screens, touched the smooth porcelain surface, and said in surprise: "The back is actually flat!" Then he turned to the front: "The front is the city scenery, and the screen transition is like an animation. How did you get it out?!"

He was very curious.

Xu Jiuzhao is usually introverted, but he feels embarrassed to reveal his true feelings today.

Zou Hengxin patted their clenched hands with the other hand, and said, "I'm also curious. Jiuzhao, tell me, how did you come up with such an ingenious design?"

Xu Jiuzhao nodded and said, "These four screens look magical and complicated, but the principle is actually very simple, and the steps are not difficult."

He paused, and simply walked over to pick up a screen from the stand and held it in his hands. Feng Zhongbao involuntarily took a step forward and stretched out his hands to wrap it underneath.

"...What are you doing?" Xu Jiu looked at Feng Zhongbao with a black line.

Feng Zhongbao's actions were extremely funny, but he had an innocent face: "I'm afraid you'll fall, what should I do if I accidentally drop such a precious thing?"

Now Feng Zhongbao looked at the screen, it was like looking at a national treasure.He was really afraid, holding a specific example of fear of falling, even Xu Jiuzhao was worried when he picked it up.

"Promise." Xu Jiuzhao cursed helplessly: "Go aside, don't get in the way. You may let me miss if you get in the way."

Feng Zhongbao gave him an aggrieved look, and said listlessly, "Oh."

Pushing Feng Zhongbao aside, Xu Jiuzhao brought the screen in front of Gao Daquan and Zou Hengxin, and he stood it up to let them look at the edge: "Actually, the secret is all here."

Zou Hengxin put on his reading glasses and took a serious look. The edges were smooth and nothing could be seen.

Gao Daquan said helplessly: "You should just say it directly, Xiao Xu. I really can't see through the mystery."

Xu Jiuzhao said: "Okay. The teacher mentioned to me that day that Macang soil is very light-transmitting, so I focused on this design. Later, I went back and thought a lot. During the few days when I was traveling abroad, I saw the Seine River during the day and night. It is different, which gave me such an inspiration to express the changes of Sangtian. You see, this porcelain plate is 7 mm thick, and there are actually five layers inside."

"Five floors?!" Zou Hengxin and Gao Daquan exclaimed in unison, Feng Zhongbao leaned over and looked down: "No matter how hard I look, I can't see that there are five floors?"

Xu Jiuzhao said: "This is because the outside is dipped in glaze, and after firing again, the surface can no longer be seen. Except for the outermost layer, which is relief, I used two techniques of openwork and intaglio for the five layers inside." combine."

Zou Hengxin was surprised: "You actually used this method?"

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is not new at all. This technique existed in ancient times.This is a method of internal engraving, which cannot be seen on the surface. If a light source is placed inside the porcelain, the light and shadow on the porcelain body will completely cover the outer pattern in the shadow, allowing the inner pattern to appear.

Gao Daquan was puzzled: "That's not right, it can only show one pattern, how do you change the picture on the five floors here?"

Xu Jiuzhao continued: "If each layer is viewed separately, it is not a complete pattern at all. The changes in the picture are all due to the combination of five layers of porcelain plates, and the differences between different layers are superimposed. This is actually just a gradual process of shape change, which is the knowledge I learned in the audition class."

Xu Jiuzhao put the screen back on the stand: "Actually, it seems that this kind of porcelain plates are superimposed and burned together. No matter how tight they are, there are gaps between the porcelain plates. There is a certain space for light to pass through. Shadow. And I happened to take advantage of such a shortcoming to realize this unbelievable."

Feng Zhongbao nodded his head: "That's right, this is like a slow-motion ink animation movie. The angle of light changes is played frame by frame, and finally it becomes this real-time changing wonder."

Xu Jiuzhao nodded appreciatively: "That's the truth. Now you understand, it's really not magical at all."

Feng Zhongbao quit at once: "Who said that! The truth sounds simple, but the content contained here is too mysterious. Otherwise, you can ask Mr. Zou, now that you have told him the truth, he will Can you do the same?"

Gao Daquan stared, "You're rude!"

Feng Zhongbao shrank his neck, and Zou Hengxin said slowly: "Don't blame him, he is right. Even if I know this truth, I saw you do it with my own eyes, and I can't reproduce it."

Feng Zhongbao looked at Xu Jiuzhao proudly, and Xu Jiuzhao took him aside, this kid is getting worse and worse!

Gao Daquan said: "Although what Zhongbao said is blunt, it is really not a skill that can be achieved just by listening. Xiao Xu, you can do it entirely because you are proficient in both traditional pottery techniques and modern pottery techniques. This kind of work can only be created after a thorough understanding of the development of art and the integration of the two sides. It is impossible for anyone else to create such a magical interstitial screen like you."

Xu Jiuzhao said: "Master Gao, you have praised me very much."

Zou Hengxin stood up and said: "He is right. Even if someone can realize your technique, it cannot reproduce this magic. These four screens are all due to the characteristics of Ma Cang soil, an extinct soil material. Outstanding. None of the soil materials known today can achieve that level of light transmission.”

Xu Jiuzhao nodded: "That's true."

Zou Hengxin walked over and looked fondly at the translucent screen under the light, and said, "I believe that these four screens will definitely surprise anyone who sees it."

Gao Daquan also smiled and said, "Xiao Xu, I'm waiting for the day when your name will be heard all over the world!"

When the new work is ready, Xu Jiuzhao will of course tell him.It’s just that Xu Jiuzhao’s character is not one to boast about himself, even if he talked about it vigorously, he still couldn’t make Jiang Xin understand what the new work is like.

This made Jiang Xin so curious that he even called Feng Zhongbao for the first time, trying to find out the situation from him.

And what Feng Zhongbao said was that the sky was full of hype, there is nothing in the sky on the earth, and Jiang Xin couldn't believe it because of the excessive praise.

It's a pity that Jiang Xin can't come back yet, so she can only hold back the heart-scratching curiosity.

Wu Miao flew back as soon as he got the news. He couldn't imagine hearing the description at first, but when he saw it with his own eyes, he could only kneel down to Xu Jiuzhao's artistic creativity.

"Miracle, incredible..." Wu Miao spoke incoherently, staring blankly at the constantly changing light and shadow images. When everything calmed down and the lights were turned on, he still stood there in a daze, thinking about it.

"Hey! Are you stupid?" Wu Jiuli patted Wu Miao on the shoulder.

Wu Miao regained consciousness and rushed to Xu Jiuzhao, holding Xu Jiuzhao's shoulders with bright eyes: "I must hold a solo exhibition for this work, and I want a global tour! I want to make people all over the world stunned together!"

Xu Jiuzhao stared dumbly at Wu Miao's insane performance: "Isn't this sent to the Biennale? What kind of global tour is there?"

Wu Miao was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and said: "The global exhibition is also required." With an expression of "you don't understand", he said: "For particularly outstanding exhibits, there is an award-winning exhibit at the French Biennale. The touring exhibition plan was initially in various parts of Europe, and in recent years it has focused on America and Asia. It is mainly to promote the French International Biennale. In recent years, art exhibitions in various countries have emerged one after another. The organizers of the Biennale are trying to raise their reputation. Layers and levels."

There is nothing wrong with Xu Jiuzhao, he has already created this pinnacle work that combines the culmination of all the skills of the past and present, and the rest of the promotion and sales are left to him.

"Look at the arrangement."

Wu Miao nodded seriously: "At that time, there will be a press conference and a reception. Celebrities from all walks of life will be invited..." Wu Miao's spirit became more and more excited: "I When can these four screens be shipped away?"

Xu Jiuzhao looked at him strangely: "There are still a few months before the launch, why are you in such a hurry?"

Wu Miao said: "I want to preview in advance. Although most works are afraid of plagiarism and imitation, they will not appear until the exhibition, but these four screens of yours cannot be copied. A preview and publicity can just stir up the popularity. The price at that time must be very objective.”

"Hmm." Xu Jiuzhao frowned and said, "You can't take it away yet, Ah Xin hasn't seen it yet."

Wu Miao said, "Then when will he come back?"

Xu Jiuzhao said: "Let's go in a few days, he's going to say it soon. By the way, I'm going to name this work "The Vicissitudes of the Sea" or "Bright and Strange". What do you think?"

Wu Miao looked at him with contempt: "It's not good! It's not romantic at all."

Xu Jiuzhao was speechless, what romance is there.

Wu Miao said: "At least it should be at the level of Jiang Xin's name. I think I'll name you one, it's called "The World of Light and Shadow"!"
