Black as paint, sound as bottom, thin as paper, bright as a mirror and hard as porcelain.

Black pottery is named after carburizing technology in the firing process, and its body is black and shiny. As a representative of Longshan culture, it was introduced into Shandong 6000 years ago.

Rizhao black pottery is the most famous and typical pottery in Longshan culture, and the local area also has a long history of making pottery. In the past, the role of black pottery was practical daily utensils, including black bowls, black pots, blue bricks and blue tiles.

With the passage of time, the types of props are increasingly rich, and the practicality of black pottery is weakened, gradually becoming a handicraft.

The roulette wheel rotates rapidly, and Mou Shanjun is making a pen container. He picked up the soil and lifted it hard, and found that the soil embryo was cylindrical. Unformed clay is wet-etched, printed and polished, and then sent to a wooden kiln, where it is carbonized when fired, and made into a beautiful black pottery pen holder.

Mou Jun is 40 years old and has been making black pottery for 20 years. He is a non-genetic inheritor of black pottery in Rizhao city.

Before 20 15, Mou Shanjun had been engaged in the production of ornamental black pottery crafts, and found that black pottery, as a handicraft, had not been widely spread in people's lives, and the local black pottery culture with black pottery as the carrier had not been fully spread and developed.

How to make black pottery culture enter thousands of households, Mou Shanjun thought hard, and finally his answer was to make black pottery return to practical use.

The best way to inherit is to be pragmatic.

Making cups, teapots and other daily necessities with black pottery blank seems to be a simple transformation of production content, but it actually contains the innovation of black pottery materials.

The firing temperature of traditional black pottery is between 600 and 900. The teacups and teapots made in this way will produce the phenomenon of pan-alkali after adding water, so that the white alkali seeps out of the ceramic surface, which can not meet the basic needs of people's daily use today. In order to increase the firing temperature, clay can't keep its original shape when it is decomposed in the furnace.

In order to solve this problem, Mou Shanjun began to explore again and again from 20 15, and went to Yixing and other places for many times to learn the experience, and finally formed his own complete technology.

According to the physical properties of black pottery and the local characteristics of Rizhao, Mou Jun creatively added sea sand and shell pot to clay, which increased the timely content of clay.

In adjusting the key factors such as slurry ratio and firing temperature, Mou Shanjun conducted thousands of experiments and fired for more than 6,000 hours, and finally successfully listed Haiqu Moyu black sand pottery in 2023.

Sea sand and shell pot black pottery can improve hardness and heat resistance, and the calcination temperature can reach 1 130C to 1 160C. With the increase of firing temperature, physical changes have taken place in pottery, which solved the problem of water and alkali and improved the hardness of pottery.

At this time, black sand pottery is as breathable as purple sand pottery when making tea. In addition, due to the adoption of carbon impregnation technology, the activated carbon component in the ceramic body also has the function of softening water.

After solving the material limitation of black pottery, Mou Shanjun also designed his own black pottery tea set with ingenuity, and made the handle of the teapot cover into a shape that can touch the rocks on the beach, and named the tea set "Watching the Sea and Listening to the Waves".

Haiqu black pottery with black sand and black jade is both practical and aesthetic, which highlights the Rizhao culture.

In addition to tea sets, Mou Shanjun also developed more than 50 kinds of products, such as pen holders and casseroles, which really made black pottery reappear as a daily necessities.

At present, Haiqu Moyu black sand black pottery products have begun to be gradually mass-produced. "In the next step, we will increase investment in research and development, further improve technology and product quality, realize large-scale production, and let more practical black pottery products enter the homes of ordinary people.

"Said MouShanJun.
