The beauty of the Song Dynasty jianzhan shines like a star.

Jian'an porcelain bowl partridge spots, valley curtain water and moon color.

Tranquility and far-reaching, Fang De always, I am Lin Fangzhi.

Li Bai has a poetry cloud: "The dangerous building is 100 feet high, and the hand can pick the stars." I didn't dare to speak loudly, for fear of frightening the heavenly people. "

Hundreds of years later, the Song people took off the "stars" and placed them in a small cup. So the black background of the jianzhan has a breathtaking beauty, like a dazzling star, in the eternal night to show an unusual shine.

It crosses the Milky Way like a meteor across the night sky, leaving scattered starlight, emitting dazzling light and shining power.

The black-and-white aesthetics of the Song Dynasty.

Jianzhan, we have also introduced many times, the so-called Jianzhan, that is, the black porcelain from the Fujian Kiln, a tea vessel specially designed for the Song Dynasty.

The royal aristocracy of the Song Dynasty had a special love for ordering tea. Put a little tea powder at the bottom of the cup, add water to make a tea paste, and then, little by little, pour water into the cup to create foam, they are also called "milk flowers" and "snow milk".

The "Treatise on Daguan Tea" records the beauty of the milk flowers: "Light clouds gradually emerge, knots are gentle, and snow is condensed." ”

The black of jianzhan can highlight the white of the milk flower, and the collision of the extreme beauty, black and white, so that their beauty is more complete, white is simple, black is deep.

In addition to the color, the overall shape of the cup is also for tea ordering and tea fighting services.

Compared with ordinary tea utensils, jianzhan is thicker in appearance and heavier in quality, and a Japanese obsidian eye is 284 grams, which is more than half a kilogram. This is specially designed for Doucha.

The Song Dynasty people fought tea, and the competition was whose milk flowers were white, and the time of adsorption of the cup wall was longer. In the process of ordering tea, the action will be relatively large, in order to make the tea cup not shake, affect the play, so the construction cup made of thick.

The thick glaze of the cup is to increase the insulation effect of the tea cup, to ensure that the milk flowers are not easy to disperse, and to stay longer, so as to win.

Doucha is the poetry of the Song Dynasty people. In the noisy market, a group of tea fighting customers gather together, jointly pursuing the beauty of tea like the stars and the moon, like flowers like snow, is this not the pursuit of poetry in the secular world?

Thousands of stripes of The Song Dynasty Jianzhan.

The beauty of the Song Dynasty Jianzhan is also reflected in the various and ever-changing markings on its body.

Su Shiyun: "Suddenly startled the rabbit hair spots at noon, and made a spring urn goose wine."

Su Shi's favorite cup of tea is the rabbit spotted cup, which has a fine and dense line, radiating from the bottom of the cup, like rabbit hair, and it is like a goose feather floating in from a spring urn, white as snow.

Huang Tingjian Shiyun: "Jian'an porcelain bowl partridge spots, valley curtain water and moon color".

The glaze pattern of the partridge is spotted, like the white spots on the Chinese partridge. Suitable for spring tea drinking, the white markings can set off the green color of spring tea, such as the fresh spring water of the valley curtain.

In addition, jianzhan also has a black as lacquer, "black and moist", with a solemn and elegant beauty of the Ugin glaze; preciousness is second only to the obscurant, shaped like a boiling oil dripping drip of oil droplets; and can make people feel as if they are in the vast universe and brilliant stars of the obscurantist cup.

And how are these moving markings formed?

The black glaze of the kiln is a kind of crystal glaze, which has a very strong viscosity, and the biggest feature is that it can flow at high temperatures. When the glaze is applied, only half glaze is applied, and the glaze in the kiln will slowly flow down along the wall of the cup, in its rich dynamics, because of the different glaze formulas, changes in the temperature and atmosphere in the kiln, etc., forming a crystal like a cloud of fog.

It is these cloud-like crystals that form a variety of stripes such as rabbits, oil droplets, partridge spots, and obsidians.

The "stars" in the Song Dynasty.

These crystals do more than that, they also pluck the romance of the universe from the galaxy and settle in the building, so that it can have a faint but warm light, guiding people on the way.

The beauty of the Song Dynasty Jianzhan is to pick the stars by hand.

Jianzhan, in the process of its development, has also been lost. Jianzhan, which was born from the order of tea, also disappeared in history because of the loneliness of tea, and was broken for more than 600 years, until the 1980s.

But there are still regrets in this, modern skilled craftsmen can burn rabbits, oil droplets, partridge spots, Ugin, persimmon red, tea green and other markings comparable to Song Zhen, "but the firing of the changing heavenly purpose has not yet been completely conquered." ”

Obsidian change is like a microcosm of the universe. On the black background, there are dots of marking, shining a crystal clear blue. "Blue" is the most beautiful color of Jianzhan. Emperor Huizong of Song described it this way in the Treatise on The Great View of Tea: "The color of the cup is noble and green and black. "Blue and black is black with a little blue in it."

This blue is the dots of starlight in the universe, when we look at these blue spots, it is as if we can travel through ancient and modern times, communicate with the Song Dynasty people in the same world, and we imagine, yearn for, and explore the beauty of the universe together.

Therefore, in the long river of the universe, we are no longer alone.

The different beauty of Jianzhan has contingencies, we say "into the kiln one color, out of the kiln thousands", after entering the kiln, what kind of markings and qualities can be presented, are all controllable by people, so we should have the idea of "being happy with what we encounter, temporarily getting ourselves".

Everything you encounter is to rejoice, and what you get is only a temporary possession. With such an idea, it is possible to give birth to a flare in the fire in one in a million possibilities.

History has gone through a thousand years, but the stars are still there, and our admiration for the stars is still the same, just like the construction of the lamp in our hands, through the thousand years of historical precipitation, it is more new, shining like the stars.
