Starlight brilliant rain point glaze

Boshan Rainy Glaze is hailed as "the Mystery of China, the Mystery of Ceramics", which was originally known as oil drip glaze. It was called "dripping" in ancient times. Because the dark glaze was covered with a radioactive round crystal with silver metal luster, it fell like the rain. The water rim pattern burst in the water is named after the pattern.

In the Zibo Boshan Rain Dot Glaze Research Institute and Museum in Nantou Street, Hebei, Hebei Community, Shantou Street, Boshan District, the reporter saw a variety of rain -dots glaze works, and I saw the silver shining on the black glaze. The small one is like a rice, just like the snowy night silver flower, giving people the wonderful mood of "lacquer night without clouds".

Zhou Zuyi, a master of arts and crafts in Shandong Province and Boshan Rain Dot Glaze, said that the rain -point glaze that is now the rain point of the Shandong Provincial Intangible Cultural Heritage originated from the late Tang and early Song Dynasty. Due to the war at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, most kiln mouths were stopped, and the rainy glaze was lost. Until the Republic of China, the local kiln workers and the later rainy glazed masters worked hard to basically restore ancient craftsmanship. On the basis of the ancestor technology, Zhou Guanzhang's grandfather Zhou Zhanyuan studied and mastered the raining glaze production skills.

For many years, Zhou Zuyi has continued to explore and innovate with his obsession and persistence of traditional ceramic art. Pure and crystal dots uniform rainy -point glaze works. And cleverly combined with modern craftsmanship, inherited the combination of rainfall glaze and Li Pancorne Celebrity glaze. The works have won awards in the national and provincial and city competitions many times.

After turning around

The "post -90s" Zhou Guanzheng was born in a ceramic family and grew up in mud, but his parents did not want him to take over this dirty and tired physical work.

However, the innate fate with ceramics cannot be blocked.

Zhou Guanzheng's major is a car electronics. During his career planning when he graduated, he heard a voice in his heart call. He knew that what he really liked was ceramics or rainy glaze. So I learned the ceramic process from Professor Liu Haifeng from Jingdezhen Ceramics College, and participated in the non -heritage training course of the provincial and municipal ceramic firing skills. From a small ears and talents, Zhou Guanzhen followed the pace of his father Zhou Zuyi. The emergence of emergence became a city -level representative inheritance of Boshan Rainy Glaze production technology.

Talking about why the rainy glaze was chosen in the end, Zhou Guanzheng said with a smile: "It may be the fate in the meditation, or it may be a responsibility in my heart. If I do not do it, the intangible cultural heritage of the rain point glaze is facing Dilemma of loss. "

Zhou Guanzheng said that in his teens, he followed his grandfather and his father's ass, and observed the recovery and firing of the rain -dot glaze next to the bun kiln. "At that time, it felt very fun. Studies are like engaging in scientific research. "Perhaps from then on, Zhou Guanzhang's interest in rainy glaze was like the flame burning in the kiln. The fire was shining and never extinguished.

From love to inheritance

As the inheritor of the rainy glaze, Zhou Guanzheng can be described as standing on the shoulders of the giant. But modesty, he always contains two major events in his heart, one is "innovation" and the other is "inheritance".

"It is difficult to make the rainy glaze uniform, and has experienced several iterations. Today's firing skills are almost pure. If you want to innovate, you can only shape the disagreement of the" point "through the change of the organ." Therefore Zhou Guanzheng has worked a lot in innovation. In order to broaden his horizons, he often went to various exhibitions and competitions to find inspiration. In addition, he is constantly practicing and creating. In the exhibition room, there is a showcase belonging to Zhou Guanzhang, which shows some unique and novel rain -point glaze in the appearance. This is Zhou Guanzhang's wonderful thoughts and his priceless treasure.

One of the works called "Rain Point Glaze Beauty Bottle", smooth and generous, beautiful and modern. At the eleventh China (Shandong) Arts and Crafts Expo in 2019, he won the "Nuclear Art Hall" cup of Shandong Crafts and Crafts Design Innovation The prize is a new generation of rain -point glaze works created by Zhou Guanzheng's traditional Song Dynasty plum bottle. "Although the rainy glaze is an art treasure, it should also be integrated with life. On the basis of maintaining traditional advantages, we should make moderate innovation and integrate more modern people's aesthetics. Although I have made a lot of effort to overcome the difficulties of different firing temperatures, I like to study; although sometimes there are conflicts with my father's philosophy, we respect each other. The glaze works are more perfect. "From" away "to" return ", the" physical work "in the mouth of the father's mouth is not a burden for Zhou Guanzheng, but can continue his life's interest and career. Establishing a studio, creating new brands, large -scale development, and inheritance in protection ... Each plan for the future has made him surging and brave.
