Wonderful, micro pole also. There is always nothing, and I want to see it. Welcome to the mysterious people, this is a place where all the wonderful people gather, let us feel the mysterious and mysterious heaven, earth, people, things, and things together.
Xiao Tang: I have written Luo Guoxin's article before, but the content is roughly the same media press release, although I try my best to understand the beginning and end and connotation of his story, but I can't always get out of the circle. In addition to the A-side in the eyes of the media, I want to explore the "three-dimensional" him more.
Luo Guoxin: I once did an interview with Xiao Tang, and she asked me if I had encountered anything memorable in the years of my business, and I said that if there was a sequel, I would talk about it again. Unexpectedly, she ran to Jingdezhen to find me as a sequel, so I was respectful rather than obedient.
| At first sight, Old Luo |
In my eyes, Luo Guoxin has the thickness and simplicity of the previous generation of township people, and also has the shrewdness and sophistication of the businessman who was once a businessman. Now he let go of everything and smiled at the storm. Allow me not to add any titles to him, but to affectionately call him Lao Luo. This time, he came to Jingdezhen alone for a week to record Lao Luo's work and life.

Lao Luo's studio is located in the Taoxichuan Ceramic Culture and Creative Park, similar to Beijing's 798, which used to be a porcelain factory. There are more than ten such old factories in Jingdezhen, but Tao Xichuan has become a vane of Jingdezhen fashion, thanks to the government's vigorous promotion and support. Lao Luo also brought his remnants and porcelain pieces to Taoxi River to promote ceramic culture. It can be seen that Lao Luo's vision is avant-garde.
When he first arrived at the studio, only he and two shy little apprentices, one twenty and one less than fourteen, were all asked by their families to be apprentices to Lao Luo. Lao Luo did not charge any fees for taking his apprentices, but whether he could learn the real thing or not depended on the apprentice's awareness. Needless to say, the two little boys really looked. There are not many big words, but it is very spirited, and the family has been doing porcelain business, which is considered to expand knowledge and learn to inherit the family business. The little one is an e-sports master, and due to the new policy of prohibiting children underage from participating in domestic competitions, he is idle at home to learn a new craft. According to his words, it is not yet immersed in it, and it still needs to be precipitated.
Two little apprentices
In Lao Luo's studio, he also met Master Luo's mother who had come to visit. Master Luo complained that Lao Luo had not returned home for three years, lived in the studio, slept with porcelain every day, and the floor of the house collapsed and did not care, so that her daughter would feel alienated when she saw Lao Luo. Lao Luo just smiled, as if he had become accustomed to this kind of "counting down".

Don't look at Lao Luo's appearance is dull, but inside he is full of blood, loves speed and passion, and he has long been familiar with various motorcycle models. On any motorcycle on the road, he can easily say the advantages, disadvantages and performance of this car. And proudly said, I have been playing motorcycles for thirty years.

On this trip to Jingdezhen, Lao Luo rode his pedal to take me around. And agreed that the next time I visit, I will definitely let me feel his beloved BMW and wind race.
The world of flowers and flowers often has a huge attraction for a young person with a surging heart. Lao Luo debuted at the age of seventeen, opened a shop in Shenzhen Guomao in 1991, and saw Deng Xiaoping on a southern tour in 1992, which can be said to have seen the world very early.
At the peak of the business, there was also a life of a drunken fan. In order to make her daughter feel a high-end dinner, she spent thousands of dollars. People around the dinner table talk about millions of businesses. Earned, lost... It's as if money is just a string of numbers. He told his daughter to ignore the conversation and just enjoy the dinner.
At that time, I only coveted the joy of life, but I never paid attention to the rush towards the twilight of green silk into snow. Time never seems to be cruel, and it will not wait for you to wake up, even if you are white-headed.
Young Lao Luo, also catch up with the fashion
For a while, Lao Luo lay on the bed and began to think over and over again, the ceiling of material enjoyment is nothing more than this, but after the drunken dream dies, what is left of life?
The prodigal son turns back, and the fallen leaves return to the roots. Lao Luo finally stopped nostalgic for the outside world of flowers and flowers, and he returned to the place where he was born and raised, back to his old friend (porcelain piece). Only then did there be incidents such as buying porcelain pieces and donating dragon jars. When a person has a root, the soul is fixed.
Lao Luo's studio is open for free. During the day, there are few guests visiting, and it is as if time has stood still. At this time, it is like a time and space tunnel. Full of ancient porcelain, Song, Yuan, Ming, Qing... Form a timeline. Picking up a broken piece of ancient porcelain is like riding a time machine, taking us back in time to see the ancient moon.
In the 21st century, walking into such a room, all the glitz has become a passing cloud, and I seem to understand why Lao Luo can give up his family wealth. In the face of history and time, man is so small.

Lao Luo and the Dragon Jar seem to have an indissoluble relationship, which is another dragon jar he has pieced together, from the Qianlong period.
Before piecing together the dragon cylinder, it should be soaked and cleaned
On Lao Luo's desk were all kinds of books about porcelain, which cost a thousand oceans.
When no one was there, he would always use his mobile phone to communicate porcelain with friends online, or read a book.
In the afternoon, a few young people came.
The young craftsman inherited the family's traditional ceramic craftsmanship and incorporated new ideas. He brought ceramic works that he had painstakingly made and came to Lao Luo's studio to practice porcelain art.
Lao Luo seriously appreciated the works of young craftsmen
This is the alternation between the old and the new craftsmen, and it is also the alternation of thoughts. The inclusiveness of culture and the convenience of the Internet in this era have given young people more ways to obtain knowledge, and the impact of Western culture has also broken the traditional thinking of porcelain making. The new generation of craftsmen will add modern lifestyles and fashion elements to the traditional crafts of the older generations.
After receiving Lao Luo's affirmation and advice, the young people left satisfied.
As the sun sets, people chatting and watching porcelain begin to flock. In addition to local craftsmen, there are also long-distance guests who come to visit. That night, he happened to meet a visitor from Beijing and asked Lao Luo to identify a piece of porcelain.
Beijing visitors who also love ancient porcelain
It turned out that the evening was the climax of the studio. Waves of strange and familiar porcelain lovers were warmly received by Lao Luo.
Learn porcelain, starting with a doll
For the people of Jingdezhen, porcelain has become a compulsory lesson from birth, because the family business of porcelain making has been passed down from generation to generation here.
Lao Luo and porcelain lovers had a good conversation
I asked Lao Luo, weak water three thousand, is there any unique love? Lao Luo found this set of Yongle period pots from the hut. It is said that this pot Qianlong also likes, and there are pictures as proof.

Originally, in the "HongliGuan Painting" collected by the Palace Museum in Beijing, the Qianlong Emperor had two exquisite small pots of the Xuande period in the same shape at his hand.

The two Xuande kiln porcelain pots on the painting are treasured in the National Palace Museum in Taipei, while Lao Luo treasures two rows... But these precious pots have now been donated to the museum.

Xuande sacrifice red, Ji Qing famous in the world, the only pair of halogen pots passed down from generation to generation, loved by the Qianlong Emperor, Lang Shining's painting "Hongli Guan Painting" and other rare objects are displayed on several occasions, placed in front of Qianlong's elbow, which is valued and can be seen in general.
Qianlong was not only an emperor, but also a famous collector in history. It seems that Qianlong also loves such exquisite small porcelain pots.
Lao Luo made information notes and physical comparisons
This pot has become a star pot and has gone through many exhibitions.
The exhibition experience of this pot
Lao Luo also carried the love pot to visit together at the Comparison Exhibition of Yongle Period Artifacts held by the Forbidden City and the Jingdezhen Archaeological Research Institute, and it seems that ancient porcelain is a spiritual companion in Lao Luo's eyes.

Listening to Lao Luo's friends, he also had a secret base, which was another treasure trove. I insisted that he take me to open my eyes, Lao Luo was an actionist, and he said that there was no treasure trove, but the itinerary he had already arranged.
An abandoned old house, like a broken memory. This was Lao Luo's former base, where he and his ancient porcelains lived for many years. Now, only the ancient vat in front of the door is still guarding the owner's past.
Ancient kilns like small hills await the completion of the museum.
A Ming Dynasty meritorious monument is erected here, this stele has an extraordinary origin, and is the monument of Shangshu Daishan of the Nanjing Punishment Department in the Ming Dynasty.
Dai Shan was a jinshi in the eighth year of Ming Shun (1464), and successively served as a royal historian, an envoy of Zhejiang, an envoy of fujian, a left and right attendant of the Punishment Department, and a Shangshu of the Nanjing Punishment Department. His life is clean and honest, and his political achievements are outstanding. After his death, he was given the title of Prince Taibao (太保) and given the courtesy name "Gong Jian "Gong Jian".
This stele is a meritorious monument carved by the imperial court to express its merits. (A more detailed story about Dai Shan is put into the chapter of "Lao Luo's Hometown")
Six years ago, Lao Luo had just found an ancient stone stele
Six years later, Lao Luo donated the ancient stone stele to the museum
Touching this ancient stone of more than 600 years, it is like another world. The stele is still the stele, and Lao Luo's state of mind has long been different, can the object be described as a person?
Will future generations stand in front of their ancestors and stand in front of history and times, and will they be ashamed of their inaction in this life? Therefore, people who accompany antiquities have a heart of detachment.
Lao Luo said that these are all study specimens donated to the museum, and when the museum is completed, these antiquities will have a new home, and I am the parent (curator). Once, they belonged to me. Now, me and they both belong to the city.
Lao Luo took me to a farmhouse with a large stone inscribed "Stone in" at the door. It turned out that this was the place where he had lived for fifteen years, and it could be said that it was the earliest villa in Jingdezhen. It also became a temporary storehouse for his antiquities.

Next, we head to another treasure trove that Lao Luo's friends called.
When I came here, I was stunned by what I saw. If Lao Luo's porcelain specimen studio is a space-time tunnel, you need to trigger it to reverse the space. Then this is simply the door of time and space that has been opened, and you are ready to be sucked into the history of the former dynasty by this chaotic stream of time and space.
There is a terrace that intersects time and space
This is actually a storefront that Lao Luo once had, and now there is only one simple bed in addition to the dusty antique porcelain and antique porcelain. Lao Luo said that this was another place to live outside the work.

Lao Luo said he was grateful to Jingdezhen.
"I and this city are both mother and son and lover. It is the mother who nurtured me, gave me, and embraced me. It is the lover who supports me, forgives me, and guards me. I am the prodigal son who is not willing to be lonely and goes out.
When I was young, I didn't go back to my hometown, determined to do a career, and when I was old, I knew that my relatives and hometown were the deepest places of people's hearts, and that was my root.
Between me and Jingdezhen, it has long been no return. All this is a blessing and a debt, and I have to pay it back. I will not have any possessions in my life, and I will give everything I have and myself to the city. ”
In the face of dedication, it is Lao Luo's thorough understanding of life. Thousands of dollars are scattered, but it is not a kind of gain.
Lao Luo said: "If you surpass yourself, you can see high and see far." Drilled in the eyes of money, nothing can be seen. If you look down on the money, you will look away. "Old Luo great wisdom.
