Pingyao Town, Yuhang District, Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province, is the main origin of Han Bing in the Southern Song Dynasty. Han Ping is a military kettle carried by the soldiers with the soldiers of the Southern Song Dynasty, a famous Southern Song Dynasty star, when he marched. Documents and archeological excavations show that in addition to being used in the army, Han Ping also uses a lot of people, and continues to the Yuan and Ming dynasties. With the importance of traditional handicrafts, in 2016, Pingyao Town established the Han Ping inheritance pottery museum. In 2019, Han Ping was listed as the intangible cultural heritage protection project in Yuhang District, Hangzhou, and this ancient ceramic skill appeared again in people's attention.

As an important part of Song Yun's culture, Han Ping is a favorite subject of photographers. Its production process is complicated, and it is roughly selected, mud, mud, laundering, mud training, rubbing mud, pulling blank, repairing, carved decoration (carving), plain, underglaze painting, glazed burning and so on. Among them, the most difficult production is sculpture and underglaze painting. When the craftsman is carved, you must be very careful. If you have a deviation, you can abandon the front. This is a thing that requires patience and perseverance than painting. The second is the underglaze painting, that is, painting on the pottery, which is not like smoothing on the drawing paper. The pen is often not achieved. It is necessary to practice the effect of painting.

In fact, for the photographer, every process made by Han Bing can achieve a good picture. In the process of shooting the Han bottle, I paid attention to the side backlight sprinkled in a window, combined with different shutter speeds, to shoot the sense of layering and three -dimensional sense of the craftsman and Han Ping, and achieve the effect of the combination of dynamic and static. In terms of composition, I use the finished frame as the background, which not only makes the picture clean and concise, but also has a sense of space.

Record the inheritance of Han Bing inheritance in different photographic language, present Han Ping to the public in different pictures, let more people know, understand the special utensils and production processes in the Southern Song Dynasty, and interpret the historical stories behind them. Interpretation and inheritance of Song Yun culture to add a "kiln fire" is my responsibility and glory as a photographer. (Text/Miao Yi)
