Besides Jingdezhen porcelain, what else is there in Shanxi?

654381October 30th, cctv-4 "Unlimited Popularity" column broadcast a special program "Master China Shawa: Zhang Hongliang". On May 6th, Zhang Hongliang, as a representative of the new Shanxi merchants, took his family and staff to the stage of "People say Shanxi has good scenery" and vividly described the past lives of settled sand products in the form of sitcom, which was highly praised by Bai Yansheng, a famous host of CCTV. After more than 20 years of silence, the pacifier is slow again? Bright? Get up and become? A famous realm of literature? A beautiful pingding business card?

Shanxi has not only Jingdezhen porcelain, but also famous sand ware.

Appeasement is well known? Hometown of sand ware? As early as the Warring States period, it had already been produced. During the prosperous Tang Dynasty, Pingding sand ware was as famous as Yixing purple sand in Jiangsu and sandbags in Guangdong. Sandingjia? . Soothe casserole? Boiling does not change color, stewing does not change taste, frying does not change taste, making tea does not change fragrance, planting flowers does not rot roots? . It is said that when Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty was ill, he sent people to Pingding to buy casserole decoction. Because of his rapid recovery, Emperor Kangxi was very happy and wrote one on the casserole. Dragon? In a word, rumor is an artifact of decocting medicine? Dragon pot? .

With the extensive use of pingding sand ware, it gradually formed? South Yixing, Beiping? Mode. In the 1960s, the famous singer Guo sang Shanxi folk song "Kua Native Produce"? Pingyao beef Taigu cake, and the quiet grapes are sweet and beautiful? Yangquan coal has a good reputation, and Pingding casserole shines brilliantly in the whole country, making Pingding sand ware famous all over the country. In the 1970s, the prestigious Pingding casserole reached the peak of its development. At that time, there were seven or eight sand products factories in chang jia gou cun, Guanshan Town, and the production of casserole was in full swing, which became the main industry in the village, almost representing the appeasement of sand products.

The casserole that once made Pingding people proud began to decline after the 1980 s. Many convenient, practical and elegant modern cookware gradually occupied the market, while casserole was gradually ignored. At the same time, with the rapid development of mining and smelting industry, young people in the village are not willing to burn casseroles in dark workshops, but prefer to work in coal mines and iron works with higher incomes. As the production base of Pingding casserole, the casserole industry market in chang jia gou cun is declining day by day, with few successors, and various sand goods factories have closed down. Pingding sand ware was gradually replaced by new products, from household name to failure? Maicheng? , almost disappeared?

Zhang Hongliang was born in 1970, and grew up in a ceramic family. His father Zhang Cong was a master of arts and crafts and a famous inheritor of porcelain carving. It is said that Zhang Hongliang has been very familiar with the history of Pingsha since he was sensible, and has forged an indissoluble bond with Huangsha. In 1990s, under the influence of his father, Zhang Hongliang began to set foot in making sand wares. 1996, Zhang's Shaqi Taofang was established, and Zhang Hongliang was engaged in carving porcelain with his father and brother. By chance, Zhang Hongliang embarked on the road of specializing in sand ware.

In 2002, a Dutch businessman went to Pingding to order traditional sand flowerpots. What are the requirements? No leakage, large and round caliber, small and thin bottom, smooth appearance? . I tried several companies, but the proofing was unsuccessful. I found Zhang Hongliang with the last hope. Zhang Cong, an experienced father, knew that the existing production technology could not meet the requirements of foreign businessmen at all, and according to the contract at that time, the penalty was a large sum of money, so he resolutely refused to accept the order. But newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, so Zhang Hongliang agreed. Let the pacifier recover in my hand? Bright? Get up? .

At first, Zhang Hongliang invited the best old artists to help, but they all ended in failure. Helpless, I had to build my own kiln to burn. There are few written records that can be used for reference in pacifying sand vessels. Basically, it depends on oral guidance and division of labor, and all the processes have to be tested by Zhang Hongliang alone. After hundreds of experiments, he built a dozen kilns. He tried and tried, failed and tried again, and almost lost everything?

In the face of cynicism, Zhang Hongliang persisted in the castle peak and developed day by day in recent years. Many things happen. After hundreds of experiments, in March, 2005, we finally fired a sand container that can meet the requirements of foreign businessmen. The following year, when more than 6,000 exquisite products were handed over to Dutch foreign businessmen, Zhang Hongliang cried. Although I didn't make any money, I won dignity and hope for Pingsha. ? He propped up a sky by himself to soothe the sand?

The successful cooperation with foreign businessmen has given Zhang Hongliang an opportunity to make its mark in the field of sand ware. In 2008, Zhang Hongliang and his sand wares were invited by the Provincial Arts and Crafts Association to participate in the third China Beijing International Cultural and Creative Industry Expo. When the leaders visited, they praised their products, and the sand leveler attracted widespread attention.

Since then, he has participated in the World Expo, ICIF, China Expo, Agricultural Expo, Travel Expo and other large-scale exhibitions, and won many awards. Some products are collected by China National Museum, Shanxi Folk Museum in China and china agricultural museum. Various expositions have made Pingding Sand famous.

In order to find a new selling point for sander, Zhang Hongliang keeps trying new technology and raw material formula. Zhang Hongliang solved these problems, which are easy to drop sand and rough to the touch. He developed a non-radiation glazed sand blasting process, which filled the blank that Pingding sand ware was made of glazed sand, improved the quality and appearance of Pingding sand ware, and promoted the market value of Pingding sand ware.

Zhang Hongliang focused on the design of a new type of pacifier, which incorporated various China elements, and its shape was simple and exquisite. Every product is not mass-produced with models, but hand-made, and everything is a masterpiece. Today, Zhang's pottery workshop has been able to produce more than 280 kinds of high value-added handicrafts such as tea sets, tableware, kitchen utensils and cookers. , covering daily necessities, tourist souvenirs and art collections, with an annual output of 800,000 pieces. Products are spread all over the country, even exported to Japan, South Korea, the Netherlands and other countries, and Pingding pottery has embarked on the road of diversified development.

In June 2009, the firing process of Pingding sand ware was selected into the second batch of provincial intangible cultural heritage list. On 20/21month, Zhang Hongliang was awarded the third batch of representative inheritors of provincial intangible cultural heritage projects by Shanxi Provincial Department of Culture. In June, Shanxi Provincial Department of Culture awarded Zhang Taoyi Studio? Provincial demonstration base for productive protection of intangible cultural heritage? . 20 14 years 10 months, 1 14, flat custom pottery was selected as the fourth batch of national intangible cultural heritage representative projects.

Shawa, as a daily household utensil, has been widely used for more than 2000 years. Although it has declined several times, it has not disappeared. However, it is difficult to be elegant, black to the touch, ugly and not durable. Have a nipple? It's a pity to abandon it, but the food is tasteless? An embarrassing situation. How to make pingding sand ware glow with the glory of the times and re-light it?

Is there anything particular about the traditional process of firing sand vessels? One crucible, two presses, three screens of soil, four steps, five kneading and six charging. Seven cigarettes with eight forks and nine cigarettes are of high quality and bitter. ? A good sander can only be completed through many processes, such as selecting soil, mixing mud, molding, glazing, drying, kiln burning, smoking and so on. While strictly following the ancient law, Zhang Hongliang boldly improved the physical properties of key links such as raw material formula, molding method, kiln temperature control and temperature control. In his hands, the traditional sand ware has become a high-grade green tableware, kitchenware and tea set integrating practicality and art, which can be used for cooking, boiling water, making pancakes, cooking jiaozi and even frying tea. At the China International Patent Technology and Products Fair held in August, 20 10, Zhang Hongliang's sand ware works won the patent gold medal.

In innovation, Zhang Hongliang never forgets to inherit. He founded the Pingding Imperial Kiln Shatao Company, which successively introduced ceramic artists, senior engineers, college students and technicians 10, and established extensive technical cooperation and exchanges with famous universities such as Shanxi University and Guangdong Academy of Fine Arts for a long time, and established a cooperation base in Industry-University-Research.

20 12,110/0, with the support of the municipal and county governments, the expansion was funded by pingding imperial kiln shaqitao company as a key project of transformation and development in Yangquan city?
