Chapter 196: Porcelain City Event II
Liu Hongzhuang looked at these ceramic products, but she lost much interest for a while. But now everyone's eyes were on the long table in front of them. There were so many people that it was difficult to leave. In addition, Yu Guhan could see it at this time.
I was so excited that I had to stand aside quietly.
At this moment, the Wang family opened their box. It was really a piece of Guanyin work, and it was made of blue and white porcelain. At first glance, there was a bit of cyan showing through the light white, and it had a bright luster. But if you look carefully
From the looks of it, the whole work is azure, and extremely light, with a faint white light glowing in the thin parts of the glaze. When combined with it, for an instant, it seems as if the entire Guanyin ceramics is alive.
At this moment, everyone opened their eyes wide and looked at the Guanyin work quietly. Even Liu Hongzhuang, who had lost interest earlier, was attracted by the Guanyin Bodhisattva.
He has the reputation of being a boat for crossing the sea of suffering. He is the Bodhisattva with the most faith in the world.
Looking at this ceramic work at this time, Yu Guhan felt extremely peaceful. He seemed to have seen the compassionate actions of Guanyin Bodhisattva to save all living beings, and he seemed to be in a different space, quietly watching the various behaviors of all living beings.
At this moment, everyone watched quietly. They didn't speak to each other. They were all attracted by this ceramic work. After a while, people clapped their hands and applauded. Wang Gan, who was sitting on the high platform,
, but his face was full of pride.
Zheng Qizhi and Zheng Rong's son suddenly became anxious when they saw this blue and white porcelain Guanyin. At that moment, he thought in his mind: "They say that the Wang family has prepared a trump card. It seems to be true. I don't know what my father put in the box.
This Wang family is really ambitious and wants to take away the title of my father’s kiln king!”
As his thoughts turned around, the Zheng family's box was opened. Inside was not the most famous blue and white porcelain of the Zheng family, but blue and white porcelain. For a while, people were talking about it. The Zheng family has always been famous for its blue and white porcelain. Over the years, participating
The porcelain capital's grand gathering is all about blue and white porcelain, so why are they using blue and white porcelain tonight?
When Wang Gan saw this, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Zheng Rong, it seems that your Zheng family is destined to be no match for my Wang family tonight. Jingdezhen is famous far and wide because of its blue and white porcelain, but you made a blue and white porcelain."
!”
Zheng Rong's expression did not change, he just smiled calmly and said: "Our Zheng family has always been famous for firing blue and white porcelain. Once blue and white porcelain is fired, it is also the best among blue and white porcelain. Over the years, Jingdezhen's blue and white porcelain has become famous far and near. It should be blue and white porcelain."
It’s time to show your face, after all, to pass on this craft, innovation is needed!”
At this time, the official of the government nodded: "If we look at the works alone, the best thing tonight is naturally this blue and white porcelain Guanyin. But when it comes to contributing to the development and inheritance of ceramic craftsmanship, the Zheng family has no one before.
I’ll make the decision tonight. In this grand event in the porcelain capital, the Zheng family’s blue and white porcelain should be the first, and the kiln king deserves to be the kiln king!”
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but nod. They all felt that Zheng Rong was too great. At this time, although Wang Gan's blue and white porcelain Guanyin was good, he became a man who fought for fame and wealth without resorting to any means. For a while, he was given
Pointing and pointing.
Wang Gan originally wanted to use this grand event in the porcelain capital to perform well and drag down the Zheng family's number one position in Jingdezhen, but he did not expect that it would have the opposite effect. For a moment, his face was extremely ugly. But at this time, he said loudly:
"The porcelain capital event is all about competing on their own works. Everyone here is here for their works. Sir, have you asked everyone if they agree with your judgment?"
The official's expression did not change, and there was still a faint smile on his face. He just listened to him say: "In my opinion, this porcelain capital grand event is not only about the works, but also about the character. If the character is not good, the worse the ability.
The bigger it is, the more dangerous it is. If you have any objections, feel free to speak up!"
The other participating families would not be able to get the first place if they fought for this. They would offend the government and make it difficult to do business in the future. They thought for a moment and weighed the pros and cons. Then they said in unison: "We have no objections and will obey your judgment!"
"You... you..." Wang Gan is also one of the judges tonight. He sat on the high platform with Zheng Rong. It was originally a very beautiful place, but now he is sitting on pins and needles.
"Okay, I didn't expect you, Zheng Rong, to play this trick, but I'm afraid our Wang family will only be able to make the blue and white porcelain of your Zheng family in the future!" Wang Gan said.
Zheng Rong said lightly: "This ceramic craft is best made by everyone. I don't know when the blue and white porcelain Guanyin of the Wang family was made? As far as I know, the way of making Guanyin statues is different from ordinary objects such as vases.
, not only the craftsmanship is important, but also the climate and season are also very important. In this deep winter season, the sky is freezing, the wind is biting, ice and snow can come at any time, the fire is difficult to control, and the cold and heat are uneven, which may be the reason for the firing.
You won’t come out, right?”
"What do you mean? Can't I bake the blue and white porcelain Guanyin in May and June and participate in the porcelain capital event?" Wang Gan said coldly.
Zheng Rong smiled calmly and said: "Of course you can, but judging from the firing time of this blue and white porcelain Guanyin statue, it was at least a year ago. It seems that last year, the head of the Wang family prepared for this year's porcelain capital event
, but why not take it out last year?”
As soon as this statement came out, everyone started talking, but Wang Gan's expression changed. This blue and white porcelain Guanyin statue was indeed not made by the Wang family, but was bought from someone else.
I thought no one would notice it, but I didn’t expect that Zheng Rong was indeed the king of kilns. He could tell the firing time at a glance. If there were three blue and white porcelain Guanyin statues last year, why weren’t they used last year? In one time, many firings
All the famous ceramic families began to talk about it, saying that the Wang family was cheating.
At this time, Wang Gan laughed loudly and said: "Who stipulated that the ceramics fired last year can only participate in the porcelain capital event last year? Why not this year?"
As soon as this statement came out, although everyone was suspicious, it still made sense. At this time, Zheng Rong's son Zheng Qi said: "You tried your best and tried all your tricks, but in the end you didn't get the first place?"
"You..." Wang Gan's face was full of anger. How could he have expected such a result? At that moment, he felt that he had lost all face and just wanted to leave this porcelain capital event as soon as possible.
At this time, Zheng Rong said sternly: "Talk, this grand event in the porcelain capital requires each family to show their strengths. Even the ones fired last year belong to the Wang family. Qi'er, my father once told you,
Don’t be jealous of what you see as good, and don’t belittle what you see as bad. Being a human being and making ceramics are the same thing, and the quality of the works in the same kiln is also different!”
"Children, please remember your father's teachings!" Zheng Qi agreed and stepped aside respectfully. At this time, Zheng Rong looked at the blue and white porcelain Guanyin statue and couldn't help but say "Eh". Following the sound of surprise, everyone
Look at the blue and white porcelain Guanyin statue again.
"Is there any problem?" The people standing below couldn't help but ask. They took a look and found that this blue and white porcelain Guanyin statue was indeed the best among blue and white porcelain. I'm afraid there are few ceramic Guanyin statues in the world that can compare with it.
