ancient ceramics in China for thousands of years, but many handed down Precious ceramics have been fragmented, making it difficult for them to see the old style. Ancient pottery restorers are the doctors who save them. Wang Chunfa, 58, is one of the few ancient ceramic Restorers in Ji'nan, and is the only inheritor of this legacy. In his hands, there are countless ceramic baby "bring the dead back to life".
only a piece of porcelain
can recognize a porcelain
in the studio of the drug king building, Wang Chunfa is repairing a song dynasty sea dragon pattern plate. He used the brush to clean the more than 30 pieces of the plate in the basin. "The porcelain was buried in the soil for a long time, and the stubble and the veneer were dirty. So it was necessary to get a damaged porcelain, first of all to soak and clean it, at least half a month."
Wang Chunfa said that some personal collection of damaged porcelain was used by the collector for its own simple splicing, and some also repaired with the nail. It would have to be dismantled and cleaned, and more troublesome. After cleaning up to the repair requirements, the stitching can be done, and the splicing is both technical and academic. A piece of ancient porcelain pot broken into more than 50 pieces can not be done by imaginary splicing. Wang Chunfa has read the ancient ceramics history of the Tang and Song Yuan and Ming Dynasty many times before he grasped the ceramics and materials and technology of the years, as long as he saw a piece of porcelain, in the brain It will soon be able to show its complete appearance.
the lack of one or two pieces is a common matter when the porcelain splice is spliced, and there is nothing to do with it. Wang Chunfa will then use the ceramic materials he prepared. These materials come from the ancient porcelain pieces he collected from the domestic kilns. "To make these materials fit in the thickness and radians and the porcelain to be repaired, it needs to be repeatedly worn, and sometimes it may not be appropriate to wear it for many days. Most of the learners are unable to pass this pass." He said. After
finished the process, the glazing process should be made, and the color and texture should match the original porcelain. This process is a key link to show the aesthetic level and technical ability of an ancient ceramic restorer. In this respect, Wang Chunfa can achieve more than 95% similarity.
is interested in
three years'
to become a professional ancient ceramic restorer, to be said to be by chance. "I am very lucky to know my teacher, Mr. Qian Xuan Lao, who gave me the chance to live with the restoration of ancient ceramics." Wang Chunfa told reporters that one day in 1999, he worked in a hotel with a guest from Zhejiang. This is Mr. Qian Xuan, a famous ancient pottery repair master in China.
Wang Chunfa, a very hands-on hands-on, has long been interested in the restoration of cultural relics, and he is now keeping some magazines related to the restoration of cultural relics published before and after 1996. "At that time, I often went to the cultural market to buy some pieces of broken porcelain and ponder over it at home, which is a very simple and original restoration." Wang Chunfa said.
this traditional skill
when faced with the risk of loss of
to get to know money old, Wang Chunfa's ceramic restoration hobby has finally risen to professional. When Qian Lao came to Ji'nan on business, he always stayed with him. Learning and learning intermittently in three years made him realize that ancient ceramic restoration is far more difficult than imagined. At one time, Wang Chunfa lost his confidence, but he was not willing to do it again and again, taking the pieces of porcelain pieces over and over again and again. Wang Chunfa set up his own studio in 2006.
"there is a great demand for ancient ceramic restoration in society, but excellent ancient ceramic restorers are rare." Wang Chunfa said that the ancient pottery and porcelain repair slow work, there was a more complex instrument he took half a year, he often find the door to the living he is busy, for this he can only set a threshold of value, the universal ceramics will no longer take over, but sometimes also do some pure and beneficial restoration.
each ancient pottery is different, so every repair is a test for the restorer. The process of ancient ceramic restoration is very complicated, and every link is very complicated. If we have no patience and perseverance, we will never stick to it. Most of the students taught by Wang Chunfa failed to learn and gave up. "It is difficult to meet a student with a comprehensive quality of ancient pottery and porcelain repair today! This excellent traditional skill is really facing the danger of loss," Wang Chunfa said with emotion.
