Heavenly Master, I have a different world - #29 - Chapter 29 Famous Porcelain
As early as the 16th century BC, the earliest porcelain appeared in China. Because the firing of both the carcass and the glaze layer was very rough and the firing temperature was very low, it was primitive and transitional. Therefore, It is called ‘original porcelain’.
Porcelain was born out of pottery.
The difference between the two is. One: Porcelain is fired at high temperatures, making its properties more stable; Two: Porcelain has a glaze fired at high temperatures; Three: Porcelain contains special minerals such as porcelain stone and clay.
During the Three Kingdoms period, porcelain was further developed…
The emergence of celadon, white porcelain, and black porcelain marks the perfection of porcelain.
In the prosperous Tang Dynasty, with the pattern of “green in the south and white in the north”, craftsmen improved the blank materials and glaze colors, making the original porcelain more exquisite.
Famous porcelain kilns of the Song Dynasty…
Yuan blue and white.
By the Ming Dynasty, Chinese porcelain had dominated the world. It is recorded in ancient books: “The porcelain from all over the world gathered together, the sound shook the fields, the sky was filled with flames, and the night was sleepless.”
Famous kilns and famous kilns emerge in endlessly.
In the early days of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, porcelain-making technology was leaked out, and the technology was blocked internally and exchanged with foreign countries. As a result, Chinese porcelain gradually declined.
now,
Thanks to the development of science and technology, ordinary people can also use relatively exquisite porcelain with stable chemical properties of the base and glaze.
There is also mass production of high-temperature timed porcelain machines, and even no-name kilns.
The era of celebrities is coming!
“Qu City is known as the capital of porcelain, and there are four famous porcelains. The Qianju Xing family is famous for its colorful paintings, and the white porcelain Sun family’s porcelain sells well all over the country…”
Under the oil lamp, Fang Zheng put down the thick book in his hand and thought thoughtfully:
“The art of porcelain is extensive and profound. Soil, clay, glaze, painting and engraving, techniques, and fire conditions all require the accumulation of experience.”
“It’s not easy to become a famous person!”
“However, the porcelain in this world is unexpected.”
As he spoke, he picked up the porcelain on the side and put it in his hand to look at it carefully.
Zhaonan Prefecture’s porcelain was a unique product of the Wei Dynasty. Gu’an County also had porcelain traders, the most famous of which was the Wang family porcelain, which was famously known as “Leizhong porcelain”.
The so-called “Thunder Red Porcelain” means that there is a layer of traces on the surface of the porcelain that look like lightning strikes, densely packed like a spider web.
Red porcelain refers to the color of porcelain.
The color is pure and the enamel is extraordinary.
In terms of quality, the Wang family’s ‘Leizhonghong porcelain’ is no worse than the four famous ones in Qu City, and in some places it even exceeds it.
Especially the glaze color is superb.
“It seems that this world also has its own way of making porcelain.”
Founder holds his chin in his hand:
“In the porcelain industry, it is said that plain embryos are easy to obtain, but precious glazes are hard to find. The reason why blue and white porcelain is rare is because the glaze formula is difficult to restore.”
Due to technological limitations in ancient times, the firing temperature of porcelain was definitely not as high as modern technology.
Blue and white porcelain is said to be glazed with agate, but ancient technology cannot melt agate at all, so it is theoretically impossible to fire it.
But there is indeed blue and white porcelain handed down from generation to generation.
Therefore, some people speculate that the ancients used certain catalysts to lower the melting temperature of agate and then burn it.
This is just speculation and difficult to confirm.
Fangzheng was very curious:
“How do the craftsmen of this world produce such top-quality glaze?”
A long time ago, he planned to open a porcelain shop in Gu’an County to explain the source of his money to others.
It’s just that the hundred-day foundation-building method cannot be interrupted, and in addition to practicing martial arts, there has been no time.
Now that I have some free time, I don’t expect to have unexpected gains.
“but……”
“I’m not afraid either!”
After thousands of years of development, porcelain in modern society, especially with the blessing of science and technology, may be relatively mediocre in many aspects.
but,
Good in every aspect.
Although the Wang family’s Lei Chuanghong porcelain is good, the base is very poor, and the underglaze painting and engraving are even more mediocre.
The porcelain brought back by Fang Zheng is high-quality plain and machine-engraved. The complex patterns and drawings on it alone are eye-opening to the people here.
Even the glazing is extremely stable.
“With modern technology, it is not a problem to build a foundation in another world. It can even be exported in reverse and become a master in both worlds.”

West Market.
Fang Zheng put his hands behind his back and walked among the bustling crowd.
He walked slowly, with a leisurely expression, and even a kind of laziness that was different from others. From time to time he would stop and ask questions at stalls that interested him.
At the later stage of the Hundred Days of Foundation Building, time became abundant, and it was rare to have free time, so naturally I had to take a good turn.
“Well……”
A figure not far away made him smile and raise his hand to say hello:
“Brother Wu, long time no see!”
Wu Hai turned around after hearing the sound:
“It’s Brother Fang, I haven’t seen him for a while.”
The time in the two worlds is inconsistent, which means that the last time the two met was nearly three months ago, and too many things happened in such a long time.
“Brother Wu.” When Fang Zheng came closer, he looked at him up and down and asked in surprise:
“Are you… looking for a job?”
“Yes.” Wu Hai smiled awkwardly and avoided his eyes:
“I have nothing to do. Come out and find some work to support your family.”
“Brother Wu, isn’t he at the Sun Family Cloth Village?” Fang Zheng frowned and said:
“Is it possible that I was really misfortune?”
“Hey!” Wu Hai sighed softly:
“To be honest with Brother Fang, the Sun family has high standards for nursing homes. Wu only worked there for a month and was… kicked out.”
High standard?
Wu Hai should be a warrior whose Qi and blood changed. No matter how high the Sun family’s requirements for nursing home are, they can’t be so high?
As for Wu Hai’s character, it is obvious to all. He escorted so many people along the way and never left him. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is morally noble.
That is……
There may be some problems with his background that prevent the Sun family from wanting him.
Fang Zheng turned his head and said in displeasure:
“Brother Wu is having an affair. He promised to go find me if he couldn’t survive in the Sun family. Why didn’t he go? You could just leave a message. If I knew, I would definitely help.”
“This…” Wu Hai rubbed his hands:
“not very convenient.”
He did want to go find Fang Zheng, but after all, they were not familiar with each other, and he had never seen Fang Zheng doing any errands, so he didn’t bother him.
From Wu Hai’s point of view, Fang Zheng has also accomplished nothing. Even if he has some wealth, how can he just spend it casually?
“Brother Wu…”
Seeing the other party’s attitude, Fang Zheng made a close guess and couldn’t help but shake his head.
Wu Hai is just too honest. He would rather suffer himself than trouble others. This kind of character can easily suffer losses sometimes.
Then he asked:
“I wonder what Brother Wu has been doing during this time?”
“I can do it as a pole-taker, a cableman, or a messenger.” Wu Hai said:
“You can also get one tael of silver every month.”
One tael of silver!
The salary is not low, it is already comparable to that of many young shopkeepers. If you can earn so much by doing hard work, you may have to divide it among three people.
Fang Fang looked puzzled:
“Brother Wu is in urgent need of money?”
“It’s okay.” Wu Hai whispered:
“There is a brother’s child who needs support. It will be fine after a while.”
This person…
Fang Zheng was speechless.
You have already gone through such hardships, why do you want to help others?
“Brother Wu is so righteous.”
He cupped his hands and said slowly:
“It just so happens that Fang plans to open a shop and do some porcelain business, but I don’t have much time to take care of it myself. I wonder if Brother Wu is willing to help.”
“One, two and a half cents a month, and a reward at the end of the year.”
“Ah!” Wu Hai was stunned for a moment, then his face filled with ecstasy:
“Brother Fang, are you serious?”
“certainly.”
“I am willing, willing!” Wu Hai’s body trembled slightly and he hurriedly clasped his fists:
“Wu Hai, I’ve met my master’s family!”
“No.” Fang Zheng stopped:
“Just call me Boss Fang.”
“By the way, please help me first. Fang has practiced some martial arts during this period and is about to ask for advice on the key points.”
“Easy to say.” Wu Hai nodded heavily:
“Tell me everything you know.”
