Speaking of which, before formally touching the porcelain kiln, Teacher Y was a chopper who lost his self-control ability in front of the glass justice, and the crushing exceeded the status that lipstick in the makeup cabinet of a middle-aged girl should have.
In particular, Japanese glass fairness was even crazy for a while in the pocket of a certain author's glass fairness, so when I first saw He Xin use his pink-blue lotus petal pattern fairness cup, I thought I was professional and asked two shallow phenomenon-level questions.
▲Porcelain viewing kiln: He Xin
He Xin said, "If you have to see the color of the soup to judge a brew of tea, just like this bag, you must put the logo label in a place where you can see to make sure it is true, is this accurate?" Drinking tea is by the mouth, it is the experience of the taste buds, if you don't even believe in your own mouth, what is the point of seeing it? ”
▲ It is customary to judge the quality of tea by watching the soup color with the help of glass fairness
Unable to argue, I asked a second question, "As far as glass and porcelain are concerned, my personal feelings
At this time, He Xin looked at me very seriously and asked, "Do you know what the tea soup really looks like?" Is there any standard or definition of this, and if not, why would you want to tie down the true appearance of tea soup? ”
Before learning about the porcelain kiln, Teacher Y did some homework, and many media accounts introduced He Xin and specially noted a philosopher, who did not think much at the time, but this question and answer suddenly seemed to have the aura of Socrates Xin in front of me.
Yes, the taste of the real tea soup that we have always thought of, is it the way it exists objectively, or the subjective assumptions imposed on it in our own imagination? To this end, I opened my mind like enlightenment.
Fortunately, the choice in front of us is the ceiling of this material, to know how the material serves the taste experience, He Xin has already done enough hardware kung fu than our extreme ten million times.
Of course, at this time, if someone knows more about this ceiling that is always in short supply than Teacher Y, you can rest assured that you can close your eyes, after all, this big brand is rare enough for oolong tea, and the amount assigned by Teacher Y is only ten groups.
1. Porcelain Guan Kiln He Xin "Tea utensils should not only meet the visual aesthetics, but also serve the taste experience"
Before we decided to do this special topic, I met with He Xin three times in total, and all three times he asked me the same question, "Why did there were so many famous kilns in the Song Dynasty, and Song Zhenzong wanted to give his era name 'Jingde' to 'Changnan', which was not yet the first echelon of porcelain making at that time?" As an ending that I certainly didn't know, He Xin seemed to tell me the same story three times.
He Xin's statement is, "Probably because it's 'delicious'!" ”
"At that time, the top five famous kilns mainly used some ceremonial vessels and ornaments for sacrifice. At that time, the utensils of Changnan's tribute may be more of the emperor's drinking and eating utensils, it is likely that the emperor found the utensils used to pay tribute to Changnan, and the drinking was particularly delicious, and he gave his year number to this place when he was happy. ”
Of course, this is indeed He Xin's family's words, but it is precisely because of this vein combing and speculating on the holy will in the process of differentiation of the taste brought by the contrast materials for many years, so that it has become a story that he tirelessly shares. You can see how the taste brought by the material is obsessed with him.
Every time after listening to this story, I would like to give Ma Boyong a look, and it must be a good historical novel for him to play and collide.
In order to prove his idea, He Xin reproduced a complete set of firing modes of ancient official kilns.
In his Garden of Jingdezhen, a fully formed Ming Dynasty kiln was reproduced, which burned several times more pine wood than the ordinary wood kiln. What is even more rare is that he has the ultimate reproduction of the raw materials and production methods of the official kilns in the Ming and Qing dynasties in terms of tire soil and glaze.
According to He Xin, the utensils produced by the porcelain viewing kiln you are getting now are the same as the Materials and Crafts from the inside to the outside, and the Ming and Qing Dynasty official kilns in the museum.

In addition to ensuring the beauty of the vision, such reproduction can also make the enjoyment of the taste more beautiful.
In the previous special content of the beauty of tea utensils, we divided tea utensils into two areas, one part of which can directly react with tea, to put it bluntly, it is direct contact with tea and tea soup, and the other part is only responsible for beauty.
In the utensils that have contact with tea, the tea brewer is the link that is directly related to the tea itself, and the tea cup is the link that is in contact with the mouth, so we take it for granted that these two links are the most critical, and the link of the fair cup sandwiched in the middle seems to have a lot more reasons to skip it.
But He Xin's understanding is backwards.
The final direction of the tea soup is to be sent to the mouth, so the medium of contact before contact with the oral cavity is the tea cup, fairness, and tea brewer, and each link is related. So in his opinion,
He confidently told us that in his countless evaluations, this delicious combination of porcelain kilns can raise the level of any advanced liquid food by one level, and this effect can even occur as long as the liquid is poured into it.
To this end, we also tried a comparison of coffee and wine on top of the tea.
▲ The evaluation results of coffee and wine have been surpassed today, and what Teacher Y wants to comment silently is that the feeling of wine is more sexy, and it is directly a "pearly jade" body
Of course, absolute self-confidence without evidence and without assessment practice is slightly "metaphysical".
In order to evaluate this result, we prepared several senior fairness commonly used in the Oolong Tea Party, and pulled them into He Xin's garden, in order to make the results more objective, we also brought the same lineup back to Wuyi Mountain and carried out two WuyiShan "Tea Fighting" style evaluations.
2. From exploration to detective paranoia to appreciate the taste of porcelain kiln justice
Although there are thousands of categories of fair cups on the market, the classic models commonly used in oolong tea parties are still relatively easy to screen, basically between Japanese glassware authors and Taiwanese tea brands.
The specific brand price does not seem to require more introduction from Teacher Y, and the fans of Rock Tea Classroom naturally understand, and then share our evaluation process as shown in the coding sequence.
Assessment Time:
Session 1: January 12, Jingdezhen heyuan
Session 2: February 18, Wuyishan Xiangjiang Tea Industry
Tea Tasting:
2021 Xi has elements - HuiYuan Dongshan Old Cong
Market retail price reference: 50,000 yuan / kg
Assessment Method:
According to the oolong tea evaluation method, 110ml evaluation lid bowl, in accordance with the 2min, 3min, 5min water outlet method, in order to minimize the interference of the public cup when the water comes out, from the tea brewer to the entrance of the tea cup are uniformly used the same standard utensils.
The assessment process is documented as follows:
#1.
Glass justice: No. 2, No. 3 and No. 4
They are Japanese handmade glass, Taiwan fair road, Japanese weeping crystal fair road.
In general, the glass material tea soup temperament is relatively close, will appropriately strengthen the friction of the tea soup and tongue contact, if the tea soup has a shape, the shape of the entrance is particularly like rolling dumpling skin, the middle is thick, the edge is thin, and the clarity and variation of the incense are obvious.
The most habitual adaptation is that you can intuitively color the soup.
The comparison during the evaluation process found that the defect was that the xi had elements at the time of the evaluation that the new tea was just on, with a slight sense of charcoal dryness, and the glass material of the fair tea soup would make the throat slightly numb and dry.
Especially after the tea soup is put into the throat, there will be a slight frizziness of split hair stuck in the throat that cannot be dissipated, and the softness and delicacy of the water feeling will be slightly inferior in comparison.
▲ Production Director of Xiangjiang Tea Industry: Wang Wenzhen
In order to avoid the preconceived subjective influence of brand fairness, the Wuyishan evaluation session adopts the method of blind product evaluation
Of course, to add a little bit of Teacher Y's personal point of view, several models of glass that have been shortlisted for evaluation are still different in terms of glass itself, and some are put in the value of the glass material itself. For example, No. 2 is an old guy who has been used by Teacher Y for nearly five years, but the anti-aging degree of the glass itself will not be yellowed so far, and the effect of smelling incense is online.
Some glass fairness is to put the value on the decoration that has no direct effect on the tea soup, and the glass itself is not fundamentally different from the expression of the 50 yuan currency purchased on the market for the tea soup.
#2.
Non-glass fairness: No. 1, No. 5
In terms of the price of each product, these two models are almost the ceiling of the current Fair Cup, and both emphasize the Classical Chinese aesthetic.
The same is the Chinese aesthetic, No. 1 Gongdao is like Chinese calligraphy, although the color is single, but the strength and center of gravity are concentrated in a single element.
Therefore, as far as the xiyou element bubble old bush is concerned, through the separation of the No. 1 fair way, you can feel the rich woody taste of ink, the taste is heavy, even if there is a burning feeling of charcoal, but it can be fused with the tea soup, and it will not cause much abruptness.
Gongdao No. 5 is a brilliant ink painting, which has more color and lightness than the strength of No. 1.
This lightness has a bit of the elegance of the sleeves in "Only This Green", in fact, aside from the oolong tea or rock tea itself, the highest experience when we drink tea is to feel a touch of aura of tea soup in the mouth.
This aura can be full of flowers or the breeze of the ancient road, but this spirit can be tacitly communicated according to the rhythm of your drinking tea.
For example, in the No. 5 fair, in addition to bringing us to predict the wooden caramel tail, the floral fragrance it blesses is the brightest, even after a long sitting cup, you can still feel the gentle elegance brought by the bright peony and rose dry fragrance.
Don't ask me if the taste of this tea soup is beautiful, I can only tell you that it is a little more beautiful than Liu Yifei.
By the way, mark the aroma of the Hanging Cup no. 5 Fairway, which is even more enduring to the astonishing, with the moistness of the creamy wood and the sweetness of the mixture of grapefruit and pear juice.
I remember once I forgot to wash the fair way and went to sleep, only to wake up the next day with this refreshing aroma still online, which is also a huge surprise that the porcelain kiln brought me beyond my imagination.
In order to retain everyone's sense of experience in participating in this assessment process, Teacher Y did not want to express this result too absolutely.
After all, the charm of aroma and deliciousness is that it will stimulate our paranoia from exploration to detective, and the process is very interesting, it is to compete with our "addiction", which is not only the stimulation of taste and caffeine, but also the uncertainty brought about by the subtle changes in these materials.
3. Appreciate the porcelain kiln fairness - chicken fat yellow exclusive pre-sale Chinese aesthetic fairness and Chinese aesthetic color
The things that appreciate porcelain kilns have always been known for their lack of experience.
The reason for the lack of one is because the slow work is already done slowly, coupled with the appreciation of porcelain imitation of the Ming Dynasty imperial kiln wood kiln can burn so many things at a time, coupled with the wood kiln is not high yield rate, I remember that I participated in a kiln opening site in January, trance feel that the porcelain out of the kiln is not as large as the number of fans on the scene.
This time the MINI version of the pink blue glazed lotus petal carved gongdao cup, we currently have only five sets of spot in hand, which is already the absolute support of the small stove that He Xin opened for us alone.
What's more powerful is that he also opened a special color with a more Jingdezhen temperament for our fans of the rock tea classroom, which is only available in the rock tea classroom on the whole network.
Chanterelle yellow glaze This glaze color I give you a shallow popularization.
Nowadays, everyone pursues imported colors such as Hermes orange and Tiffanyland at every turn, but in China's history, there has never been only one distinguished color, that is, bright yellow. This color was only used by the royal family until the success of the Xinhai Revolution in 1911.
However, the application of yellow in porcelain is the latest to appear in the various monochromatic glazes, and it was not stable until the Chenghua period in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, and it reached its peak during the Yongzheng Qianlong period. But even during this period, the firing power of the yellow glaze is still the lowest.
Moreover, unlike other official kiln porcelain firing defects that can be destroyed on the spot, the Qianlong Emperor once specially ordered Tang Ying, the overseer of Jingdezhen, to send the defective products of yellow glazed porcelain back to the palace for destruction, which also shows the honor and difficulty of yellow glaze.
After the emperor, the collection community will name these top yellow glazes "chicken fat yellow" according to the color of the top yellow glaze, which more or less reflects the yearning for food in the bones of Chinese. I don't know if this and the source of the name of Jingdezhen that He Xin said also have some kind of deep blood connection.
Even for Jingdezhen's top kilns such as the Porcelain Guan kiln, it is still very technically difficult to replicate the perfect "chanterelle" glaze.
During the preparation of this topic, I went to Jingdezhen three times, in fact, I had already seen the justice of chicken fat yellow two or three times at He Xin's tea table. According to our requirements, we can't see any flaws, but He Xin always feels that it is still a little interesting.
▲ He Xin's currently completed chicken fat yellow model is half a sample, and this color is too difficult to shoot
So we can only rely on this near-perfect half-finished product of chicken fat yellow glaze to compare photos and confidence in appreciating porcelain kilns, please blindly determine, the first kiln is limited to five. It is expected that it can be shipped directly from Jingdezhen in about 30 days.
And the result of your waiting for 30 days is to get a porcelain kiln that will not collide with others in the world, and the yellow glazed lotus petals are carved fairly.
