In 2020, humanity enters a new turning point in fate and civilization. For a person who takes his thoughts as his own responsibility, whether it is the new crown epidemic or the US election, the unprecedented collision of conflicts is like a once-in-a-lifetime wealth of ideas. Therefore, this year is a year of hunger and thirst, a year of sorrow and joy, not leaving home, but tired than usual; at the same time, the sadness of various realities, the collision of cognition, and the sense of powerlessness and helplessness brought about by the agitation of human nature and civilization have made people feel a lot more sad and sad than usual.
Fortunately, at the end of the year, I read "Poetry and Pots" by my friend Hong Qiaojun's brother. This is the crystallization of his six-year-long artistic cooperation with Mr. Zhang Haiyuan, the master of the Teochew hand-pulled Zhu clay pot, and reading it word by word has brought great shock and comfort to my heart that has been full of ups and downs for a whole year and seems to be full of thousands of years of vicissitudes.

Over the years, Brother Qiao Jun's left hand has written reviews and edited newspapers, worrying about the world; with his right hand, he appreciates pot art, leads innovation, and sends Zhu Ni with affection. With the broad vision and mind of a cultural person, he led and struck the artistic innovation of the pot master Zhang Haiyuan. The two are like high water flowing water, qinser and chime. If it is cut like a cut, if it is like a mill, it will last for a long time and eventually become a good situation. The book "Poetry and Pots" shows an aesthetic peak that has created a new situation in a generation of pot art.
When people think of the words "poetry and pot", people think of engraving poems in traditional pot art. But that traditional piling technique has long been quietly left aside by QiaoJun and Haiyuan!
Looking at the crystallization of their poetry pots, what we see is that there is no word, and the wind flows; it is the flow of clouds and water, and the weather is ever-changing. They excavated from the innovation of the vessel type of pot art, the natural color and texture of the mud tire, and created a new height of art that was unprecedented in combination with poetry and pot art.
I went through the book to see their pot art works, although as peaceful as brewing a pot of green tea, but also made people excited:
It was the big wild grass of calligraphy, that was the big freehand of Chinese painting, that was the minimalist aesthetics of the Song people and Apple mobile phones. That is the return to the essence of the soul, that is the aesthetic deletion of the simple three autumn trees, leading the new February flower. That's a philosophical look at mountains or mountains to see water or water.
Away from all the clutter and heaping, back to minimalism and purity.
It was the milk duck pond with the spring river plumbing, and it was the flowing water of the autumn water.
It can be imitated, but it is difficult to surpass. The poetic antiquity and the simplicity and superbness of the pot art can complement each other perfectly. Missing a taste, improvisation, tranquil beauty and vast heart can not be found.

The pearls are full of greenery, full of dazzling, and a number of heroes, and the kings are rewarded:
"Eight Mountain People":
Bada Shanren is a peak in the history of Chinese painting and calligraphy, a cultural giant who cries and laughs and looks at the world with white eyes, lived in isolation before his death, and lived in Qingyun Spectrum outside Nanchang City. Qiao Jun is also a native of Jiangxi, in order to make a pot to commemorate the Eight Greats, he read a lot of books about the Bada Shanren to understand his personality, life attitude, and artistic style. Finally, based on the only surviving true portrait of the Eight Great Mountains, "Small Portraits of The Mountains", which was found at the Fengxian Temple in Fengxin County, Jiangxi Province, the "Eight Mountain People" was created. After repeated discussions with Haiyuan, the final shape was finalized:
The shape of the pot resembles eight "small statues", and the thin eight big heads are cool and wear wide robes. The lid of the pot resembles the bucket worn by the eight majors, and the body of the pot is like the figure of the eight thin but wearing a wide robe. The Eight Greats like to paint lotus flowers, and they are arrogant and strange, so they cover it like lotus leaves. Works such as the eight lotus flowers erupt a strong sense of life and human dignity, and in the art of fire and earth, the charm of life rises. What is more ingenious is that the body of the pot is a "eight" character, and the body of the pot and the lid of the pot combine the word "big", which means "eight big".
"Lucky Clouds":
Jiuhua Mountain has a famous scenic spot called "Xiangyun Holding Day", one day Qiaojun stood at this attraction, the vision was sudden, the heart was indignant: the brocade-like rainbow was spread in the distance, and a round of red sun gushed out from the morning glow, and suddenly the whole world was immersed in brilliant splendor. The author could not help but chant loudly: "Xiangyun holds the sun and the mountains are beautiful, and the Ruiqi condensation spring society is overflowing with brilliance." The idea of the work "Xiangyun Holding the Sun" is about to come out. So the author told Zhang Haiyuan the concept of conception and design, and pulled out the auspicious cloud with the wringing mud, the button was the day, and the mouth and handle were raised hands, to express the anthropomorphic poetry.
Although the design is difficult to achieve, after the work comes out, when the first scoop of cold water: the texture of the mouth and the handle and the body of the pot are inconsistent, there is no such ethereal beauty, only the "auspicious cloud" of the whole pot has the flowing water and the unstoppable beauty. After repeated failures, ruiyun auspicious and extraordinary "auspicious clouds holding the sun" finally came to fruition.
"Picking Stars and Catching the Moon":
The stars and the moon have been the objects of repeated chanting by Chinese literati since ancient times, and they are also the first goal of sending lofty ideals and ambitions. Picking stars and collecting the moon is full of poetry and picturesque, and the design and production of pot art are ingenious:
The pot button is a star, the pot handle is a full moon, every time you add water to the pot, you have to pick a star, and when you make tea, you have to pick a moon. Between the hands and feet, the arrogance is dry and the weight is light.
"Qingxi Yiye Boat (also known as: Lotus Picking Girl)":
"Qingxi One Leaf Boat" lotus leaf as a cover, back to the basics; the pot body is slender and smooth, like a young girl standing in the pavilion. The whole pot is like a beautiful girl shaking a boat and moving among the lotus leaves. Poetry and far away, do not have to look elsewhere, just look for it around you.
"Ancient Style":
"Daya has not done it for a long time, and I have declined to be Chen." Wang Feng commissioned vine grass, and the Warring States had many thorn hazelnuts. Dragons and tigers eat each other, and soldiers catch crazy Qin. The voice is faint, and the mourners are complaining. This is Li Bai's poem, and the work "Ancient Wind" is based on this poem, and the author shaped Jiang Taigong's fishing and walking. The shape of Yiwen Yiwu is vivid and exaggerated, very personal, majestic and strong, and Jiang Taigong is elegant and dignified. Jiang Taigong fishes, the texture of the bucket and the cloak is clear, and the image of Meng Tian is tall and mighty. The two pots are one high and one low in the treatment, one grain and one light, forming a contrasting effect of art, making the theme more prominent. Cast thousands of ancient arias, poetic pot art in one pot, exquisite art, ancient style, poetry, bosom, all in the pot.

Or, "All things are made of the heart, and it is never life that gets better, but your heart." ”

A poetic and unique pot in hand, with the ancients, with the heavens and the earth, suddenly feel "the chest is everywhere, the soul flies for a thousand years, everywhere is the master, standing everywhere is true", even if there is no storm in reality, there are endless waves in the teapot!
The big universe of the outer world is full of strange clouds, and the small universe of the inner world is quiet and peaceful; the big universe of the outer world is surging and the small universe of the inner world is not insulted.
