Firewood kiln porcelain was a famous traditional China porcelain. It was made in the imperial kiln of Chai Rong, the emperor of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. It was founded in the first year of Xiande of the Zhou Dynasty (954) after the Five Dynasties. The kiln site may be in Zhengzhou or Kaifeng, Henan Province, but no real objects and kiln sites have been found so far. According to records, Emperor Shizong of the Zhou Dynasty once ordered the imperial kiln porcelain to be "after the rain, the sky is blue and the clouds are broken. This color is for the future." From this, it was inferred that the wood kiln porcelain should be azure glazed porcelain, but in fact, wood kiln also had other colors besides azure. Firewood kiln porcelain had the following characteristics: 1. ** Scarcity **: High firing cost, low yield, and few modern wood kilns. First, the government banned the burning of firewood in the kiln, resulting in insufficient supply of pine firewood. Without special funds and specific purposes, few people would easily use the match kiln. Second, a kiln would burn nearly 2000 catties of pine firewood, which was costly. Third, the kiln required experienced teamwork. The fire and temperature of the kiln were all controlled manually. The pile-handling master needed decades of experience. A slight negligence could cause the kiln to collapse, causing hundreds of thousands of yuan of economic losses. Fourth, the temperature in the kiln was uneven. The front end was high, the back end was low, and the middle was moderate. The quality of the same furnace of porcelain varied greatly, and the rate of finished products was low. 2. ** Moistening degree **: The wood kiln uses pine wood fuel, which is rich in pine resin. The pine resin that is volatile during the burning process has a nourishing effect on the porcelain. The principle of firing was to slowly increase the temperature by constantly adding firewood, so that the utensils in the kiln could be slowly heated. In addition, the water vapor in the furnace and the porcelain glaze could be combined to produce a porcelain body with a unique style of white jade, which made the porcelain glaze subtle and moist. The firing process of the firewood kiln included many processes such as arranging the kiln, filling the pond with the blank, and hanging the kiln. In history, wood-kiln porcelain was very legendary. It had a very high status among China porcelain, and was even considered to be higher than the five famous kilns, Ru, Guan, Jun, Ding, and Ge. Among the six kinds of porcelain recorded in the Xuande Ding Yi Manual found in the Ming Dynasty's palace when sorting out antiques, the firewood kiln was ranked before the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty and was the more expensive porcelain. However, although there were records of palace collections in history, there were no real objects of wood-kiln porcelain that had been handed down. At present, there was a Northern Song Dynasty Ruyao flower pot in the National Palace Museum in Taiwan that was thought to be a wooden kiln porcelain. The basis was that the inscription "made in the first year of Xiande of the Great Zhou Dynasty" was found under the glaze on the inner and outer walls of the flower pot. The same text could be read with the help of electron microscope instruments, but this conclusion was controversial. In modern times, wood-fired porcelain also referred to porcelain that was fired in a kiln that used pine wood as fuel. In terms of the firing effect, the porcelain fired in the wood kiln was no different from the porcelain fired in other kilns. The novel "Shou Zang" is equally exciting.

The gas kiln was relatively healthier. Burning wood in the kiln required a large amount of wood, which would cause damage to forest resources and may produce more impurities during the burning process. The gas kiln used modern liquefied gas, which was relatively environmental friendly. The temperature was also easy to control and the cost was relatively low.

There were many differences between the bubbles in the wood kiln and the air kiln. 1. ** Bubble Uniqueness **: - The bubbles in the kiln were uneven. Because firewood had to be added continuously during the firing process, the temperature was difficult to control accurately, so the bubbles varied in size and had a certain layering. - The air bubbles in the gas kiln were very uniform, and the temperature during firing could be well controlled. The size of the bubbles was uniform and dense. 2. ** Bubble density **: - The bubbles on the wooden ware were more sparse, with different sizes and depth, similar to the pearl particles scattered on the plate. - The air bubbles on the gas kiln were even denser, densely packed and stacked. This was because the temperature of the gas kiln rose quickly, and the gas activity in the glaze became more intense. 3. ** Color Effect **: - When firing in the firewood kiln, the ashes and flames produced by the burning of wood directly rushed into the kiln, causing the natural ash falling on the green body. After a long period of high temperature, it would fuse into a natural gray glaze, and the color would be gray. - The color of the gas kiln would be white and bright. 4. [Effect on Glazed Porcelain]: - The wood kiln used pine wood as fuel to fire. During the firing process, turpentine oil would be produced. The turpentine oil would be absorbed on the tire, making the glaze of the wood kiln fat and moist. The blue and white flowers fired in the wood kiln would fall into the tire, giving off a smudged feeling like an ink painting. - The blue-and-white flower statue of the gas kiln floated on the surface, and the patterns were clearer and more neat. In addition, it took more than 50 hours to fire in the wood kiln, while it took more than 20 hours to fire in the gas kiln. The texture of the wood kiln that was fired for a long time was more stable and warm than the gas kiln. The novel " Shou Zang " is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!
There were many kinds of high-grade porcelain in the Shouzang kiln. The blue-and-white exquisite literati landscape series was relatively well-known. The kiln owner's love for literati landscape and the master painter's many years of painting skills and unique style made this series of porcelain quite unique. The price of this series of porcelain paintings or screens was relatively high. The size were easily tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, while the size were relatively cheaper. In addition, the ancient color series of the Shouzang kiln was also very famous. The main writers were the provincial arts and crafts master and the national first-class technician. These two series were the two main high-end series of the Shouzang kiln. At the same time, the antique ware of the Shouzang Kiln was also of good quality. The novel " Shou Zang " is equally exciting.

Secret-colored porcelain has the following characteristics: the body is delicate and pure, and there are no rust spots and other impurities on ordinary celadon, and the air holes seem to be missing. All of them are glazed, and the bottom of some utensils is scraped off after the glaze is applied to facilitate the burning. The outer bottom of such utensils is generally larger, such as jade bottom bowls, pillows, etc. The bottom foot is left outside. The characteristics of the bottom foot also show that the body is delicate, the glaze color is azure, the glaze is uniform, the glaze is lustrous and plump, and some utensils are slightly turbid, achieving the effect of ice and jade.

Ru porcelain was indeed worth hundreds of millions in the auction market. For example, on October 3,2017, at the Sotheby's auction in Hong Kong, a piece of Northern Song Dynasty Ru kiln azure glaze was auctioned for more than 290 million Hong Kong dollars, breaking the world record for China porcelain auctions and still unbroken. In 2012, Sotheby's auction in Hong Kong sold the Ru kiln azure glaze sunflower wash at a sky-high price of 208 million Hong Kong dollars. However, the price of Ru kiln porcelain also varied greatly. For example, the price of some Ru kiln porcelain pieces or imitations was relatively low. For example, in June 2014, the transaction price of the broken porcelain collection of Zhanggongxiang kiln was 8.28 million yuan. There were also Ru kiln porcelain made by modern technology, such as the authentic large Ru kiln cup, which was only 15.9 yuan. At the same time, there were also cases where the seller did not recognize the goods and sold similar Ru kiln porcelain at a low price. For example, Ma Weidu once bought Ming Chenghua's anti-Ru glaze elephant ear furnace for 70,000 yuan. The novel " Shou Zang " is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!
