Classic literati purple sand pot shape of hemei, hetao, heling pot

Hemei, Hetao, heling pot is an innovative pot type in the Republic of China period. They combine flower vessels and ribbed vessels. The body of the pot is composed of two parts, so the name of the pot has a "he" character, and the source of its naming may be traced back to ManSheng's acacia pot. Due to the different decorations of the handle, flow and button, there are hemei, hetao, and heling pots.

The most famous producer of Hemei, Hetao and Heling pots is the Republic of China artist Wang Baogen. Wang Baogen (1890-1954) was a native of Shushan, Yixing, who studied art with his uncle and late Qing dynasty master Wang Chunrong (Shengyi) in his early years, and was a brother of the same disciple as the pot master Wu Yungen and Zhu Kexin. It is said that hemei and hetao were created by him. Wu Hanwen, the owner of Wu Desheng Pottery Shop, once ordered a Heling pot made by him, which was inscribed by the famous calligrapher Yu Youren, and this pot was later donated to the collection of the Palace Museum. He was rigorous and meticulous, and it often took a year to make ten heling pots.

During the Republic of China period, the masters of making hemei, hetao, and heling pots also included Fan Dasheng. Fan Dasheng (1875-1942), character rope wu, number Chengfu, Shiju Yixing Dingshu town Xiwangwei, 19 years old Xi Tao, from the famous artist Fan Dingfu, in order to inherit the virtues of Dingfu, so he called himself Chengfu. In addition to his own pottery making business all day long, Fan Dasheng was also hired as a technician in the pottery company in the early years of the Republic of China, and later hired by jiangsu Provincial No. 5 Middle School to teach pottery making skills. Due to his many years of experience in pottery making, coupled with the theoretical study in school, Fan Dasheng's creative philosophy has undergone a leap forward, and around the early 1920s, Fan Dasheng once saw the "Linghua Pot" of Dabin, who is said to be a Ming Dynasty master. Fan Dasheng, who faced the works of his predecessors, was deeply moved by his temperament and connotations. He seemed to see the figure of Shi Dabin working hard to create this pot for design, sleeping and forgetting to eat, but he always felt that the "diamond flower pot" seemed to have shortcomings.

It was the height of summer, a cool breeze blew the lotus leaves in the pond at the door, the lotus flowers swung with a graceful posture, and the fragrance of the lotus flowers entered the lungs, fan Dasheng felt that he had never felt so comfortable. Look at the "diamond pot" in front of him, although it is good, but the rhyme seems to be insufficient, reading is not too addictive, especially those diamond lines stretched out from the lid button, before reaching the climax has already fallen to the bottom, so he took a pencil on the paper to draw ah, paint ah, why not let it stretch out and then take it back, this stretch a collection a gallop a contract is not more ingenious? Yes, that's the idea!

Fan Dasheng took a piece of mud and immediately molded it, first made a solid pot according to the appearance of the "Linghua Pot", and then connected the "Linghua Pot" to the bottom as it was, so that the bottom was the same size as the mouth of the pot. Although the extension and contraction of the diamond line are in place, the excessive articulation is stiff and unnatural, and the pot is too high and uneven. Fan Dasheng picked up the lid of the "Linghua Pot" and put it in his hand to carefully examine it, and a symbol along the mouth of the lid made him suddenly enlightened, is this "{" and "}" not a mathematical brace? Instead of letting it hide along the mouth of the cover, it is better to let it come to the foreground with dignity. So he changed the ridge of the pot body from top to bottom and then changed from left to right, so that the ridge line was connected, and the ridge line in the lower part of the pot body changed from a yang line (convex line) to a yin line (concave line), which produced an unexpected effect, and the whole pot came alive at once, just like the lines of the "Flying Sky" sleeve ribbon in the Dunhuang mural, which were suddenly bright and dark, yin and yang.

Fan Dasheng was very excited, and according to the size ratio of the pot, he completely made a new "Heling" pot body. He carefully inspected the mouth and handle of the "Linghua pot", and felt that the big straightness was not in line with the line of the pot body, so he changed the straight mouth to a curved mouth, and changed the original inverted handle to a smooth handle, and directly connected to the lower abdomen, after the change, it was still shiny, and it was not enough to taste, so he simply put the line into the mouth and the handle to show it, because there was a line angle, so the mouth and the handle also appeared different blocks, which made the pot body more dashing, heroic, Fan Dasheng went through many days and nights, boiling his eyes and finally making the "Diamond Flower Pot" It was born into a brand new purple pot.

Fan Dasheng Heling pot

What's your name? The master of the great student, Dingfu, was still there, and when he saw that his apprentice had created such an extraordinary work, he thought that this pot was made under the inspiration of the "Linghua Pot", and it seemed to combine two Linghua into one, "Simply call it "Heling Jug"! Da Sheng clapped his hands and praised, "Good! It's called "Heling Jug"! Since then, "Heling" has shocked the pot altar with its unique modeling process, flying and flowing lines, accurate and balanced comparisons, it originates from tradition, and jumps out of tradition, undertaking the ancients and not mud on the ancients, it is really a lot of enlightenment!

Jinsha tea pottery author (two nine incense WeChat 392503348) summary: Because of the difficulty of making hemei, hetao, heling pot, especially heling pot, there are not many artists who make it later, and even now some people say: "It is not easy to have plaster molded." It is gratifying that Fan Dasheng's grandson and the heir of Fan Jiaju - Fan Weiqun, after hard study, finally made "Heling stunt, successor", and there are different styles of large, medium and small, and Heling jug has changed its style to this day.
