In Luoyang at the beginning of the last century, the construction of a railway made an artistic treasure buried by history for thousands of years, and a magnificent history reappeared in the world, flourishing in the Tang Dynasty. In the archaeological excavations in the following decades, it is well-known at home and abroad because of its beautiful shape, bright colors and large number of excavations. People not only imagine where it came from, but also where it came from to meet the needs of Luoyang people in the Tang Dynasty. With the archaeological discovery, there are two sources of Tang Sancai in Luoyang: one is local Luoyang, and the raw material comes from Beimang. Second, Gongyi, not far east of Luoyang.
The two names of a river connect two kinds of art, one is the famous white porcelain, and the other is the tricolor obsessed by later generations, which makes this river shine in the long river of history.
In the early winter morning, the cold wind blows hard, and the sun seems to be afraid of the cold, hiding under the covers and unwilling to stand out. A person is standing on the bridge, listening to the sound of the river flowing, looking at the vast Huangtuling, and the traffic on the road whizzes past behind him. Try to calm yourself down, feel the breath around you, break the boundaries of time, travel through time and space, and be in the historical scene. I saw thousands of workshops and kiln mouths on both sides of the river, busy workshops and craftsmen, burning kiln fires, and smoke from chimneys curling up in the valley and drifting into the clouds with the wind. There are countless boats by the river, and the boatmen are directing people to load beautiful tricolor boats in a busy and orderly way. After everything is in order, they will go down the river full of goods and go to Du Dong, Chang 'an and Yangzhou. At night, kiln fires on both sides of the river illuminate the night sky like stars in the Milky Way. Lv Guimeng described the stunning and beautiful celadon of Yue Kiln when it was opened with the poem "Nine autumn winds reveal the Yue Kiln, winning a thousand peaks". Opening a kiln here is like a rainbow rising from the valley.
? A companion's call came back to reality from imagination. The river at the foot is still flowing after thousands of years, but it has changed its appearance. Unlike the vastness and abundance of that year, it can no longer carry ships and the weight of history. The mountains on both sides remain the same. After thousands of years of wind and rain, it has long been difficult to find what it looked like. Thousands of kilns are nowhere to be found, all buried in the dust of time. Looking for it in the overgrown native land, never giving up, looking forward to finding clues of history. I met a fellow villager and asked me why I came. He led us to identify the remains of a kiln site and told us about the excavation site. After a detailed chat, I learned that he is the cultural protection of the whole site area, responsible for the protection and inspection of cultural relics in this area. Then he took us home and showed his father and his three-color porcelain pieces collected over the years. Porcelain tiles come out of woven bags, dazzling, with different patterns and colorful colors, which make people admire the exquisite skills of the ancients. I also respect the father and son who are willing to protect this cultural heritage.
? We hope that good things can be protected and passed on, and we look forward to letting future generations fully feel its beauty. As a provincial intangible cultural heritage, the protection and inheritance of Gongyi Tang tri-color production skills are also facing difficulties and problems. In a modern Tang Sancai kiln factory next to the site, the historical origin of Tang Sancai, the excavation experience of Gongyi Tang Sancai site, the restoration and inheritance of Tang Sancai skills are clearly explained and displayed for the audience to understand. I talked with an ordinary old man about the history and skill inheritance of tricolor. Later, I learned that the old man is really a non-genetic inheritor of tricolor. I was ashamed at once, but I still pretended to be calm and looked the same. From the old population, I learned that Tang Sancai has stopped burning and the kiln has been closed for a long time. Even if it is occasionally burned by electricity, the firewood kiln is only for visiting. As the elderly get older, the problem of skill inheritance appears. Nowadays, learners only have their own daughters. Looking back on their learning skills, they can't help sighing.
Businessmen put profit first, and the inheritance and protection of intangible cultural heritage are regarded as the glory and title of icing on the cake. The arty decoration masks the breath, while the positive inheritors are waiting for the dawn. Say goodbye to the old man, come out of the factory, look back at the surrounding rivers and mountains, say goodbye silently in your heart, and embark on the next journey.
