When we talk about blue and white porcelain, are we thinking about Jay Chou ?
I think the word "blue and white porcelain" appears in the public eye for the first time.
"On July 12, 2005, the Yuan blue and white porcelain "Guiguzi Down the Mountain" jar was sold at Christie's Auction House in the UK at a sky-high price of 23,000,000 yuan."
My heart was broken at that time, because I really couldn't see that the jar was 27.5cm high, 21cm diameter, 33cm abdominal diameter, and 20cm foot diameter. The "broken jar" with a broad base with a wide ring foot, a straight mouth and a short neck, a slightly thicker lip, a round belly, a sloping shoulders and a round belly, a step below the shoulders, gradually closing down to the bottom, and a slightly slitting "broken jar" at the bottom is so valuable, and no one dared to say that he had set a small goal of a "jar" first.

Of course, this is still a bit far away for social elites like me, so I just have more topics of conversation when talking to other elites.
Then, in 2007, Jay Chou's song "Blue and White Porcelain" was released and appeared on the Spring Festival Gala stage that year, and became famous all over the country. That year, we were still looking forward to the sketch of Zhao Benshan ... (laughing, laughing, laughing).
So what story does this poem Fang Wenshan’s poem "Blue and White Porcelain" tell at that time?
is very simple, the lyrics are divided into two parts. The first part is to describe the production process of blue and white porcelain, and the second part is to tell a secret story of visiting the kiln...
"The plain embryo outlines the blue and white pen tip and turns to light / The bottle body depicts the peony is just like your first makeup / Ranran sandalwood is clear about my thoughts through the window / The pen on the rice paper is halfway there / The glaze renders the charm of the ladies' pictures and is hidden / And your sweet smile is like a bud / Your beauty is floating / Go to a place where I can't go"
Not only blue and white porcelain, but the production process of porcelain generally involves several steps. First, refine body soil. Natural porcelain clay contains a lot of impurities. Most of the impurities need to be washed out. The fired porcelain will be firm, delicate and white. Then make the embryo, make the washed porcelain clay into various shapes and dry it, and then draw the pattern on the dried blank with blue and white materials. The layer of blue glaze with jade-like texture is called glaze, and finally put it in the kiln to fire. The last step is completely resigned to fate. If you are lucky, you will encounter " kiln transformation ". The result of kiln transformation is only two situations: one is kiln disease, and the other is kiln treasure. If it were today, it would be a big deal to get rich.

▲ Print blank
▲ Draw blank
▲ Apply external glaze
▲ Apply base glaze
▲ Apply glaze

So I will interpret the first part of the lyrics in a popular way: on the finished pigmentless blank, a slender pen tip is dipped with a green mineral dye, and a blue and white pattern is drawn on the belly of the bottle with strokes. Then the pen tip turns thick and thin, and a peony is vividly displayed on the bottle body, and the complete ladies' pattern on rice paper is sealed in the glaze process for thousands of years. Do you think it is just for viewing?
You are wrong, young man, Jay Chou also had "young" time...
"The sky is blue and waiting for mist and rain / And I am waiting for you / The smoke from the cooking stove rises / The thousands of miles across the river / At the bottom of the bottle, Han Li imitates the elegance of the previous dynasty / Just when I was foreshadowed to meet you / The sky is blue and blue waiting for mist and rain / And I am waiting for you / The moon is salvaged / The ending is faint / Like the blue and white porcelain handed down from the world, you are beautiful / You have a smile on your eyes / The white and green koi are vividly seen at the bottom of the bowl / When copying the Song Dynasty signature, I am thinking about you / The secret of you hidden in the kiln for thousands of years / Extremely delicate like an embroidery needle falling to the ground / The banana leaves outside the curtain make the rain / The door ring makes the green / And I passed by the small town in Jiangnan and offend you / In the ink-splashing landscape painting / You are hidden from the depth of the ink color”
The person in the lyrics obviously met a girl while visiting the kiln. The five famous kilns in China are: Jun kiln, Ru kiln , Guan kiln, Ding kiln , and Ge kiln .
According to the characteristics of the kiln, it is obviously from Ru kiln.
"The fire is forbidden in the Ru kiln palace, and there is agate powder inside it as glaze. The product of Ru kiln is delicate in soil, hard in body, and moist in glaze. The glaze contains agate powder, which produces a special color. The colors include egg white, sky blue, pink green, bean green, shrimp green, shrimp green, shrimp green often have a slightly yellow color, and there are green green and sky blue. The sky blue is especially valuable because the sky blue is the most precious, and the sky blue is the most precious.

, then the "sky blue color", "kiln fire", "and I am waiting for you" in the lyrics will also surface.
, so it is clear whether Jay Chou met " Jolin Tsai " or "Kun Ling"...
In this way, the beautiful melody of this song and Jay Chou's speechless pronunciation are not the point. And Jay Chou Wenshan's two scheming boys were also worried and gave us some popular science. What exactly is blue and white porcelain?
As expected, like JAY's catchphrase, "Chinese songs are the most dicky."
Oh, it's not bad, Chinese style is the most dicky!
