Artists of the national tradition start from the puppet show

Chapter 242 Live Firing of Watanabe Dharma Statue (Please recommend, ask for a monthly ticket)
After Lin Mu finished his introduction, he planned to start making directly!

Looking at the embryo mud that has been made, an unknown smile appeared on Lin Mu's face!

These embryo muds were not bought from the Lujia Porcelain Factory, nor did Lin Mu buy them in the market on purpose, but Lin Mu exchanged them from the system mall!
Just such a portion of embryo mud cost Lin Mu 1000 million reputation points.

However, when Lin Mu saw this germ paste, he didn't feel the pain anymore!
Because after hundreds of years of mining, the local kaolin in Dehua has been mined out long ago, and there are very few remaining kaolin in the world. Only a few large porcelain factories still have some stocks.

In order to solve this situation, an old porcelain worker from the Dehua White Porcelain Association, after more than ten years of experiments, finally obtained a raw material that is most suitable for firing Dehua Porcelain with several other kaolin.

However, because the texture becomes softer after the proportioning, some large utensils still cannot be fired.

At present, this kind of composite kaolin is basically used in firing Dehua white porcelain.

As for the superb white porcelain that Lin Mu is going to fire this time, he has no confidence in using this kind of kaolin clay!
Therefore, last night, after discussing with the system for a long time, the system opened the exchange of "Ming Dynasty Dehua Kaolin". Although it is expensive, with this kaolin, Lin Mu felt that his confidence was greater few!
Those present were all people who had played with germ mud for most of their lives. Seeing the texture of the germ mud that Lin Mu took out, they all felt a little novel, and couldn't help but want to take a closer look!
Several staff members around hurriedly stopped them, indicating that Lin Mu is currently live broadcasting, and they cannot enter the scene at will!
Zhang Yueqing also looked curious, turned to look at Lu Zhengqing, and asked, "Xiao Lu, where did he get this embryo mud, it looks a little different!"

Lu Zhengqing also looked suspicious, and said, "I wasn't here when I was making the germ paste yesterday. He said he could handle it by himself, so we didn't pay attention!"

Zhang Yueqing frowned, and said, "No, this embryo mud is wrong, why does it feel a bit like authentic Dehua kaolin?"

Lu Zhengqing's eyes widened involuntarily.

What?Authentic Dehua kaolin?

Where did this kid get it?

The few porcelain factories that have authentic Dehua kaolin all keep this bit of kaolin as a treasure, and they are unwilling to give it away for any amount of money!

Lin Mu said to the camera, "Families, this is the embryo mud for making white porcelain. The materials in it include kaolin, porcelain stone, feldspar, quartz and other substances. After a series of processing, it has formed a clay that can be used to make white porcelain. Germ mud."

The camera focused on the embryo mud in Lin Mu's hand, it was as white and delicate as ivory, and looked very comfortable!
"Today I'm going to make a "Statue of Crossing the Sea Bodhidharma" made by He Chaozong, the porcelain sage of the Ming Dynasty."

The picture of "Portrait of Dharma Crossing the Sea" was provided very timely in the shot.

Bodhidharma has a wide forehead and long ears, a deep door and a high nose, tendrils, wearing a long coat, barefoot, standing on the turbulent waves of the waves, as if crossing the sea.

The shape is simple and vivid, and the expression is pious and serene.The production is fine, the clothing pattern and sea wave lines, the carving is strong and powerful.

"Currently, this "Portrait of Dharma Crossing the Sea" is collected in the Palace Museum in Beijing. It is a national first-class cultural relic and is very precious!"

"Today, I'm going to imitate this white porcelain sculpture. Although it may not be as good as Master He Chaozong's in case, I also hope that through my live broadcast, you can really like white porcelain and love it. porcelain!"

"Okay, the first step is to shape."

"There are two ways to make statues. The first is grouting, which is to make a mold first, and then inject the embryo mud into it. After it solidifies, remove the mold and then polish it."

"The advantage of this method is that it has strong applicability, does not require too much skill, and is relatively simple, and the structure of the embryo body is relatively uniform. Nowadays, most large-scale utensils are fired in this way."

"However, what I want to use today is the second method, manual molding, which is also the most primitive way from ancient times to the present!"

As Lin Mu spoke, he began to shape today's work on the workbench with the embryo mud like a clay figurine!
The old porcelain workers around were dumbfounded, because Lin Mu's hands were like the hands of a fairy. In less than 10 minutes, Lin Mu had already made a prototype of Dharma!

Zhang Yueqing felt her eyebrows twitch wildly.

What a speed!
It's not that I haven't fired the "Statue of Crossing the Sea Dharma", and even the "Statue of Crossing the Sea Bodhidharma" that I fired won the porcelain gold medal of the year!

However, it took me an hour to make the prototype of Dharma by hand.

Don't underestimate this craft like making clay figurines. Without certain aesthetic skills, it is impossible to make such a good prototype of Dharma!
Although it is wrinkled, it can barely be seen that it is a Bodhidharma, but this speed is simply too shocking!

Lin Mu said with a smile, "The craftsmanship is a bit rough, please take care of it, and the next step is to make fine-tuning!"

Lin Mu took out a strange-looking carving knife from his pocket, and was about to modify the prototype of Bodhidharma!
Seeing this scene, Zhang Yueqing couldn't bear it any longer, and quickly said, "Mr. Lin, you can't use the knife!"

This sound made all the water friends in the live broadcast room look shocked!

"Who is this blind and yelling person who has no rules at all!"

"That's right, to scare my buddies, I'm about to watch the God of Mu show off his might, who is it?"

Not only the water friends in the live broadcast room were taken aback, but even Lin Mu's hands trembled slightly, and he looked at Zhang Yueqing who wanted to rush over with some displeasure!

At this time, Lu Zhengqing didn't care about Zhang Yueqing being his elder, so he hurried forward and hugged Zhang Yueqing's waist, and said with a wry smile, "Uncle Zhang, what's wrong with you?"

Zhang Yueqing was hugged by the waist, there was nothing he could do, and he said angrily, "Lu, is this how you taught your nephew to use a knife? When did we Baici use a knife?"

Lu Zhengqing was so blocked by Zhang Yueqing that he couldn't say a word, but he didn't dare to let go. I'm afraid Zhang Yueqing would ruin the live broadcast!
Zhang Yueqing's words are not unreasonable. From ancient times to the present, whether it is carving the lines on porcelain or decorating porcelain, most of the tools used are made of wood with special density and toughness.

Basically no one has ever used metal ironware.

Except for hard pottery, tools made of metal are used. In the production process of other porcelain, wood tools are used!

First, because the material of porcelain clay is not hard, it is easy to use too much force with metal and damage the porcelain.

The second is because we are worried that the substances in the metal will stay in the porcelain clay, and when it is fired, flaws will appear.

The reason why white porcelain is so white when fired is because Dehua kaolin contains extremely low iron oxide.

While decorating the prototype of Bodhidharma with his own Kunwu knife, Lin Mu said calmly, "Although no one has used metal carving knives for white porcelain since ancient times, the fear is that the substances in the metal will remain in it, resulting in There are flaws, but my knife will not have that kind of phenomenon!"

Lin Mu's words, on the one hand, were for Zhang Yueqing to hear, and on the other hand, they were also for the water friends in the live broadcast room!
Hearing Lin Mu's words, Zhang Yueqing also stopped struggling, and looked at Lin Mu in disbelief!

Lu Wenlong on the side said with some dissatisfaction, "Mr. Zhang, no matter whether my cousin uses a carving knife or not, but today is my cousin's live broadcast to promote white porcelain. If you really want white porcelain, don't just do it casually." Otherwise, I will have to ask you to leave our porcelain factory!"

Lu Wenlong acted as if he was speaking righteously. To be honest, the scene just now really made him very angry!
Regardless of whether Lin Mu can make it successfully this time, it is a huge promotion for Lujia Porcelain Factory.

Zhang Yueqing's reckless behavior just now is enough to ruin this live broadcast. As a result, Lin Mu is likely to suffer verbal criticism, and their porcelain factory will also have big problems, and even the brand of Dehua White Porcelain will be hit. !

After Zhang Yueqing heard Lu Wenlong's words, although he was annoyed, he had to admit that he was really reckless just now!
That's because Zhang Yueqing really couldn't bear to see the real Dehua kaolin being ruined by Lin Mu like this!

This is not a matter of money or not, this is a good thing that money can't buy!

Lu Zhengqing hurriedly scolded, and said, "Wenlong, what nonsense are you talking about? It's not big or small. Is that how I teach you all the time? Why don't you apologize to your Grandpa Zhang!"

Before Lu Wenlong could speak, Zhang Yueqing waved his hands and said, "Forget it, I'm just impatient, hey!"

After a helpless sigh, Zhang Yueqing stretched out his head, and continued to look at the prototype of Bodhidharma in Lin Mu's hand. He wanted to see if what this young man said was true!

Strands of porcelain clay fell from the body of the prototype of Bodhidharma. The prototype of Bodhidharma, which looked wrinkled and careless, became smooth and clean after Lin Mu's carving knife!

"Excellent knife skills!"

Zhang Yueqing looked at Lin Mu's way of lifting weights lightly, and murmured involuntarily!
The surrounding people from the White Porcelain Association were also amazed!
Lin Mu's knife skills are definitely the top existence in China.

And that Kunwu knife, as thin as a cicada's wings, turned into a phantom in Lin Mu's hand, only to see Lin Mu's fingers kept shaking, and slowly, a smooth jade-like Bodhidharma stood up. There it is!

Someone looked at the time and couldn't help exclaiming, "It's less than 10 minutes? How is this possible?"

Due to Lin Mu's exquisite skills, no one felt that time was passing. After Lin Mu's last knife was over, he pointed the front of Bodhidharma's face at the camera and said, "Let's take a look, how about this Bodhidharma!"

At this time, the people around suddenly realized that they checked the time and found that it was less than 10 minutes!

You know, even for a master with the most exquisite skills, it will take at least three or four hours to carve out a Dharma statue!

Because this requires too many delicate means, and a little bit of frizz will cause damage to the entire work.

Even the top players, at this stage, are as careful as they can be!

However, Lin Mu's movements just now are simply smooth and smooth, and those hands seem to be like machines, and every movement is precise to the pinnacle.

Zhang Yueqing couldn't help admiring, and said with a wry smile, "Xiao Lu, I really feel what you said before!"

Lu Zhengqing looked at Zhang Yueqing blankly, what did I say?

"Hey, really, seeing Lin Mu, I really feel that I have lived on a dog for so many years!"

Zhang Yueqing shook his head and smiled wryly.

Although it is said that the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, your waves are too high!

It's not that Qianlang was photographed on the beach, but was photographed in the sea in an instant!

The camera starts from Bodhidharma's head. The smooth head actually reflects bright light. Although it has not been fired, the top of Bodhidharma's head is so smooth that it can reflect light!

Looking into the distance with deep eyes, eyebrows and beard are all in the shape of a bun, giving people a holy feeling.

Looking down, the hands are clasped in front of the chest, the buddha shirt is half open, and the folds on it are lifelike, as if they are real.

At the bottom, the two feet were not wearing shoes, they were just so bare, stepping on a large mass of rushing and tumbling sea water.

"Damn it, it's perfect, is this real porcelain?"

"Who said there are no luxury goods in Huaxia, but our luxury goods, you can't afford them at all!"

"I'll go, such a precious statue, it's so honorable to put it at home!"

"Although I don't believe in Buddhism, I also want to invite such a statue back. It's so beautiful!"

"Why is it so beautiful, I can't stand it, how much is it, tell me, I want to buy it!"

"You buy a hammer, there is one in the Forbidden City, you go buy it and try it!"

"It's so beautiful before it's fired, how amazing it will be if it's fired!"

"However, don't be so optimistic. I just burn porcelain. I don't know how many beautiful porcelain embryos are destroyed after being fired. So, we have to wait until they are fired!"

……

Countless water lovers saw this exquisite porcelain sculpture, and it touched their DNA!
"The next step is a very important step, glazing!"

Lin Mu picked up the writing brush next to him, and evenly applied the prepared glaze on the statue of Bodhidharma without missing a single bit.

After applying the glaze, the whole Bodhidharma statue looks even brighter!
Lin Mu looked at it carefully, took a deep breath, and said, "The next step is the most important step, firing!"

Lin Mu carried the "Statue of Crossing the Sea Dharma" to the front of the electric-controlled high-temperature furnace, and gently placed the "Statue of Crossing the Sea Dharma" inside!
After closing the furnace door and adjusting the time and temperature, Lin Mu smiled at the camera and said, "Families, we have to wait for 24 hours now. At this time tomorrow, let's open the kiln together and take a look. Will the "Statue of Crossing the Sea Bodhidharma" be successful!"
