Yixing Zisha pottery originated in Song Dynasty and experienced the maturity of Ming and Qing Dynasties. Today, it is more and more perfect and rich in the plastic arts of pots. How to identify and appreciate the unique purple sand pottery in this world ceramic category, that is, what kind of aesthetic view should be held on purple sand pottery, directly affects the creative thinking of the producers. Therefore, it is necessary to talk about the aesthetic problems of purple sand art.
The beauty of sand pots can be summarized into five categories: beauty of modeling, beauty of material, beauty of applicability, beauty of craftsmanship and beauty of taste.
Edit the beauty of this purple sand.
Zisha pots have various shapes, each with its own merits and roundness. It can be said that it is an artistic treasure house of pot art modeling. Formally speaking, it originates from nature, which mainly refers to animals and plants. Animals include birds, fish, animals and humans. Plants include trees, vines, flowers and vegetables. These are the themes of pot art modeling and decoration. From the shape point of view, there are borrowed forms, that is, ancient ceramics, bronzes, lacquerware, bamboo and wood utensils, jade articles, stone tools and other objects used in production and life, such as bags, hats, heavy objects, musical instruments and other physical objects, are converted into pots. As far as shapes are concerned, there are pot-shaped, square, rectangular, conical, rhombic, trapezoidal, cantilever, outrigger, oblate and Fiona Fang combinations composed of geometric shapes, points, lines and surfaces. In form, there is self-expansion, including whole expansion and local expansion, which is different from the concept of enlargement and reduction of modeling, but refers to the outline of modeling, in which the whole part extends to a certain height or is compressed and expanded into a flat shape to achieve the effect. In form, there are also abstract revelations, such as the change of sky moire, the lingering smoke, the combination of lines and the patterns of strange rocks and mountains, which give people accidental enlightenment. All of the above are the source and destination of traditional and innovative teapot body modeling.
Secondly, the shape has the expressive force of sculpture. After the shape of the teapot is determined, it is expressed in the way of arts and crafts, one is a realistic expression, and the other is a changing treatment. Realism strives to be vivid, and through artistic techniques, changes are expressed in similarities and differences, giving people a rich aftertaste, or giving people a feeling of combining static and dynamic.
In addition, a model also has a bearing of modeling, and the bearing of the work also includes the expression of the author's personality, the embodiment of the author's style and temperament. Some pots are elegant and elegant, some are simple, some are light and meaningful, some are rough and simple, and some appreciate the modeling with personification, gentleness like a gentleman, heroic like a husband, romantic like a poet, beautiful like a beauty, clear like a hermit, chic like a teenager, and short. Looking at the shape and spirit of modeling constitutes the beauty of modeling and gives people a preconceived choice.
Edit the material beauty of this teapot.
Zisha mineral soil is a natural and special mineral soil, that is, clayey siltstone containing iron. In addition to purple mud, there are green mud and red mud, collectively referred to as purple mud. Made of three kinds of foundation mud alone, or fired in different compositions, different temperatures and atmospheres, it appears purple but not bright, red but not bright, black but not ink, such as iron as stone, Jin Hu roaring, and one instrument is more beautiful than three stops. From a distance, if you are young, Zhong Mingting, you can catch up with it, and you can float the elite. This is the most vivid embodiment of the color of purple sand mud. For example, in the mud, coarse-grained raw mud sand, or mixed sand, the particles are covered with wrinkles, and the beads are looming, which is more eye-catching.
Edit the applicable beauty of teapot in this paragraph.
Due to the unique material of purple sand, it adds more ideal beauty to the teapot. Yixing Ming pot is coarse sand without rustic ear sand. Make tea in a teapot, which is not fragrant or boiled, without losing its original flavor, and has good color, fragrance and taste. Ceramic process engineers and food engineering engineers have done joint experiments and spent three months studying the practical functions of Yixing purple sand tea set. Green tea, black tea and oolong tea were brewed with Yixing teapot, Yixing cinnabar teapot, white porcelain teapot and glass, and the color, aroma, taste and water extract of tea soup were determined by using TC-PⅱG automatic color measuring colorimeter. Two kinds of teapots are better than porcelain teapots and glass. The practical function of teapot is the most ideal for quantitative detection of vitamin C and microorganisms. Making tea in summer is not easy to deteriorate.
First, fill the pot with miscellaneous gas, remove the tea residue, then fill it with boiling water and drum it up, that is, there is no cold water, so it is removed in a hurry and recovered.
Secondly, the sand in the casserole has slow heat transfer, strong thermal insulation and fitness function.
Thirdly, the teapot tire has a double-hole structure, which has good cold and hot mutation. In cold weather, boiling water will not explode, and there is no need to worry about cracking when steaming in warm water.
Fourth: the teapot has been used for a long time and has spontaneous dark light. It is really long and bright.
Fifth, the teapot is easy to absorb tea juice, and the inner wall is not brushed without odor. If the pot is used for a long time, it will accumulate tea rust, and the quantitative injection of boiling water will also taste like tea. Tea rust contains griseofulvin by biological test, which has the function of anti-inflammatory and detoxification.
Six, the shape of the teapot can be divided into two types: height and height. According to the principle of making tea, a high pot should make black tea. Black tea is fermented in baking, which is not stuffy and smells better in a high pot. Short pots should be soaked in green tea. Green tea does not ferment during baking and cannot be stuffy, so flat pots should keep their color, fragrance and taste fresh.
Seventh: don't grease the pot, raise the pot and the pot surface. Don't use the pot to directly suck the spout, which can keep the natural light and protect the teapot from losing its original flavor.
Edit this passage. The teapot tastes delicious.
Zisha pots can be divided into commodity pots and craft pots, commodity pots can be divided into fine products and rough products, and craft pots can be divided into craft pots, special art pots and artworks. Craft pots should be based on the achievements of artists and the artistic value of their works. In historical documents, the famous works of famous artists are recorded, which are praised as "as expensive as a swan" (jade), "the treasure wins and flows yellow" (silk woven from yellow cocoons), "carved with lacquer", "the price is set (Wang Bangjia Liao's second half) forest" (beautiful jade) and "the sun". Xiong Fei in Ming Dynasty said that "a pot of spring has several uses" Ming Hu Tu Lu records that "a pot made in Ming Dynasty is worth a lot of money to China people". This shows that history has estimated the price of the casserole. The participation of literati has raised the value of purple sand art, and purple sand pots have always had an impact on society and attracted many literati. They entered the collection and appreciation hall of senior intellectuals. They not only preserve and increase value, but also reflect the artistic value and social status of social development in various historical periods, and also contain the cultural and cultural values of teapot. Famous works of celebrities are not only "priceless, but also collected by good people all over the world."
The carving and decoration art of teapot integrates poetry, calligraphy and painting, literature, seal cutting and epigraphy. Today, it has created inscriptions and postscript, further pushing the teapot to a high-level cultural level. There are words tangent to tea culture and pottery culture, philosophy, ethics, morality, knowledge and other words in the inscriptions, which improve the decoration level and have profound cultural connotation, but the special arts and crafts are not as good as them. Some awards and collections of pottery pots have historical value, some have artistic value, and some have the value of displaying later works and scientific value. Collection is an aesthetic, not "playing with things". The purpose is to cultivate sentiment, accumulate knowledge, increase life interest and enlighten patriotic feelings in the enjoyment of beauty. Every developer and collector of sand pots should have a correct outlook on life, creative consciousness and collection consciousness. To this end, awareness, strength and promotion are three aspects that collectors are required to take seriously. Where there is a will, there is a way. It is inevitable that the art of teapot will have a broader and better collection world and a bright future for healthy development.
Zisha is the quintessence of China and a national treasure master in the 20th century.
Mao Dabu and Shao Jiasheng's Painting of the Century, Shao Jiasheng, the chairman of the Municipal Artists Association, and Mao Dabu, a purple sand scientist, combined the national quintessence purple sand with the portrait of a national treasure master in the 20th century. Pot circles and art circles complement each other. In the last century, 14 20th century China artists selected by the public carved pottery on pots. Among the fourteen artists, Xu Beihong painted in the center, Qi Baishi and Zhang Daqian on the left, and Wu Changshuo and Huang on the right. Among the 14 artists, three are beards with silver whiskers, just below the right, and they also carved a portrait of Wu Guanzhong, bringing together two great painters from Yixing, their hometown; On the other side are Liu Haisu, Lin Fengmian, Pan Tianshou, Lu, Fu Baoshi and their young painter Chen Yifei.
Fourteen national praise masters are all seal cutting, and their works are vigorous and powerful. They have mastered the charm of the signatures of various artists and vividly displayed the bold and unrestrained style and ideological vitality of the pot. These masters are the backbone of China art circle in the last century, and this century-old Waliang pot with the same name as the China artist of Chinese painting will also be a rare work of art full of humanistic feelings, which can really be described as art in a pot. "The wall of a century-old pot shows the national quintessence of purple sand."
Edit this collection identity
Mud tire soil
Color image, granularity and gloss texture. Different veins in different times have their own characteristics, and the "azure mud" in the late Qing Dynasty is different from that in previous dynasties.
Modeling style
Every era has specific standards for the feeling and form of beauty, and there are differences in modeling style, overall proportion and preparation of mouth, handle and button.
technical skill
Even if the craft is taught by the same master, there will be different styles.
Temperament verve
The most important standard, the masterpiece of famous artists, has its own incomparable charm because of its superb artistic accomplishment and skilled professional skills, as well as its in-depth understanding of the performance of clay and its grasp of kiln temperature.
Seal style
Seal style is a factor to judge whether it is true or false, but modern counterfeiting technology can confuse the real with the fake, and we can't believe it all.
Distinguish between the old and the new
There are not many really old purple sand wares that have been passed down so far. Perfect and elegant purple sand ware is even harder to come by. If the old one is really a Roshi sand ware, the surface will often have a natural luster, which is due to the warm luster gradually exposed after years of playing with it. The new device called "nothing more than" is made of the old device, which has absolutely no such feature. Distinguish between the old and the new, and pay special attention to the old deception.
Careful splicing
It is difficult to preserve the original purple sand in Ming and Qing dynasties, and most of them are imperfect or cracked. Therefore, various repair and patchwork techniques have emerged, such as filling the gap with wax, sticking it on, and then coating it with mud; Imitate, splice and make old ones with clay; Colored purple sand leg color, supplemented by pigment; Cultural relics are damaged, such as those inlaid with metal sheets or jade. When identifying, as long as you pay attention to and examine carefully, you will be surprised to find traces of patchwork, among which there are many "vacancies", because the shape, color, texture and ritual vessels of repaired, patched and colored purple sand vessels are not exactly the same, but there are always differences, which more or less lose their original styles and characteristics.
Organ texture
Each development stage of purple sand ware has its own brand and symbol of the times, which mainly has the following characteristics: in the Ming Dynasty, the shape of purple sand ware was elegant and simple, and there were few ornaments, so it was simple; In the early Qing dynasty, the purple sand was rich and peculiar in shape, paying attention to the decoration, coloring and carving of utensils. In the late Qing Dynasty, the modeling of purple sand tended to be simplified, with more planes and more emphasis on carving poems and calligraphy. These instruments are very literate. The texture of purple sand ware is divided into coarse and young, coarse and unpopular, and fine and oily. Generally speaking, the works of famous artists are exquisitely carved, with delicate fetal quality and smooth surface.
Inscription printing
According to the available data, the inscription of purple sand ware was first found on Gong Chun's pot handle, engraved with the word "for spring", and then it became popular. In the development of purple sand ware, many ceramic masters have different inscriptions, so we should thoroughly identify them. The signature and name of the sand maker only appeared in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The real popularity of poems carved on ships began with Chen Mansheng in the late Qing Dynasty.
