China's ceramic technology has a long history, and ceramics are extremely easy to break, ceramic restoration has naturally become one of the important contents of ceramic culture. There used to be a classic old saying "without gold and steel diamonds, don't take porcelain work", which is exactly China's ancient ceramic restoration technology - curium porcelain.
Curium porcelain works
Curium porcelain, also known as curium work. In the Northern Song Dynasty Zhang Zeduan's "Map of the Upper River of the Qing Dynasty", there is a scene of a curator working, which is at least a thousand years old. With the progress and changes of the times, the roar of "curium pots, curium bowls, curium vats" has long gone away from us, but the "golden steel drill" has not disappeared, and the "porcelain work" has also been inherited. We have a post-80s young man named Wang Hao in Tengzhou, who can be described as an expert in curium porcelain.
Wang Hao is repairing the purple sand pot
Wang Hao said that since he was a child, he has been particularly interested in handmade things, and he likes to see the curium master curium vat the most, as long as he hears the shouting, he immediately puts down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand and runs to watch. Blacksmith shops, carpenter's rooms, jewelry stalls, etc., are all places he often "patronizes", and it is not enough to see them, and when he returns home, he must learn to make a trick. At that time, many of the "works" he personally "created" became "sought-after goods" among his friends.
Art comes from life and returns to life
Later, during the study of construction machinery, Wang Hao has also maintained his enthusiasm for manual craftsmanship, and whenever he encounters difficult manual work, teachers and classmates will always recommend him to do it.
After work, by chance, Wang Hao had his own new ideas about curium porcelain art, and he decided to regain his childhood dream.
The improvement of skills requires a wide range of knowledge and experience
With the support of his family and friends, Wang Hao began to visit curium porcelain masters and experienced old artists across the country and ask them for advice on curium porcelain technology. Every time he returned from study, he plunged into the studio, honing and studying his skills repeatedly. Kung Fu pays off, Wang Hao soon mastered the various techniques required for curium porcelain, positioning, drilling, nailing, nailing, sewing, polishing and other curium porcelain, but the refinement of the technique was not the goal pursued by Wang Hao.
Choose the nail material according to the porcelain style
In order to expand his creative ideas and creative inspiration, Wang Hao read a large number of art treatises and related professional books, and drew nourishment from traditional art forms such as calligraphy and seal engraving. On the basis of constantly honing the traditional curium porcelain technique, he skillfully integrates the processes of metal hammering, metal engraving, lacquer and gold cymbals into the creation of curium porcelain, which greatly enriches the expression and cultural connotation of his works.
The upper curium nails should be positioned with a hammer
The porcelain he restored often made friends praise and marvel, some people will even break the original intact porcelain and ask him to put a few nails on it to add a sense of vicissitudes, and some people will treasure antiques for Wang Hao to apply gold to sublimate its leisurely ancient meaning. With hard work and talent, Wang Hao has successfully created more than 500 curium porcelain works, which is well-known in professional circles.
Exchange curium techniques with like-minded friends
"The metaphysical is called the way, and the metaphysical is called the instrument." Wang Hao said, "The development of curium porcelain craftsmanship to the present is not simply to hammer the porcelain pieces together, but an artistic creation process with attitude, from the artist's knowledge, cultivation, experience and other 'curium external skills' often determine the style and taste of the work." Wang Hao said that he will continue to go out to study and communicate, pass on this ancient art, carry forward and expand, so that more people know, understand and like curium porcelain.
