The light of the world, the light of architecture is the most.
As a typical representative of black porcelain, Jianzhan was the most sought after in the Song Dynasty. Song Dynasty is an era of highly developed tea culture. Song people, whether monarchs, aristocrats or literati, love to order and compete for tea, and take sword lamps as the first thing in tea sets.
It must be said that the reason why Jianzhan in the Song Dynasty was able to occupy the commanding heights of that era was inseparable from the weather, geographical location, and people.
The weather is the wind of fighting tea in Song Dynasty.
Fighting tea, a way of drinking tea, originated in the Tang Dynasty, and in the Song Dynasty, there was nothing wrong with the emperor and the literati. Fighting tea means grinding tea cakes into powder and drinking them with water. In the process of fighting tea, the black of Jianzhan is easier to set off the white of soup color than the color of soup. There will be a "watershed" on the edge of the cup. One part of tea fighting is to order soup, that is, to hit and flick the tea soup in the cup with a teapot in a rotating way, so that it is flush with the soup flower, and the soup flower is even and delicate, so that it can bite the edge of the cup and stay there for a long time. This best effect is called "biting the cup", that is, the soup flower can bite out the "dividing line", indicating that the main function of the cup at that time was
Geographical location is the birthplace of Jianzhan Shuiji, which created some unique conditions for the birth of Jianzhan.
In order to fire a unique devitrified black glazed porcelain bowl like Jianzhan and sell it all over the country, its place of origin needs to meet the following four conditions:
First, there should be enough fuel around to cope with the energy consumption of large-scale porcelain burning;
Second, it is necessary to have a suitable geographical environment, that is, a hillside with inclination but not too high, in order to build a certain scale of dragon kiln;
Third, there must be convenient transportation channels, that is, developed transportation exports;
Fourth, the most important thing is to have raw materials, that is, tire soil and glaze with high iron content that can form crystals.
And water-based just meets these conditions.
First of all, the water base is located in the hilly area, surrounded by mountains, but the elevation of the hills is not too high and the slope is suitable. Dragon kilns of tens or even hundreds of meters can be built according to the mountain shape.
Secondly, abundant rain, suitable soil and climate have created dense vegetation all over the mountain, making Shuiji rich in forestry resources. The timber accumulation in Shuiji Town is 29,000 cubic meters, and the annual timber harvesting is 22,000 cubic meters. Don't worry about the fuel needed for burning firewood in Longyao.
Thirdly, as porcelain, Jianzhan is not only fragile, but also light in weight. If it is a long-distance land transportation, it is inevitable that there will be collision damage and the cost is too high. Only by giving priority to water transportation and supplementing by land transportation can the loss and transportation cost be reduced. Jianzhou (now Jianyang) has always been an important town in Fujian, and the kiln is close to Jianxi. However, Fujian's water conservancy transportation is very developed, and the water network is dense. The lanterns produced in the kiln can be easily transported to all parts of the country and sold in overseas markets.
Of course, there is the most important point. The tire of Jianzhan is called "iron tire", which is an important feature that distinguishes Jianzhan from other black glazed lamps produced in kiln mouth, and is also an important factor that Jianzhan became the best tea set in Song Dynasty. Water-based soil has a high iron content, which is unique in the Song Dynasty.
Harmony in Ren Huang-Song Huizong's endorsement of sword fighting.
Song Huizong is not a qualified emperor, but he is definitely an accomplished artist, who has the first calligraphy in Song Dynasty and various hobbies of literary youth. At that time, Daguan Tea Theory, which originated from Song Huizong, commented on Jianzhan: "The color of the lamp is expensive and the quality of jade is good", which is still the most frequently quoted sentence. Song Huizong not only likes to build a station by himself, but also works as a part-time salesman. According to Xuanhe's legacy, "With different lamps from Huishan Spring and Jianxi, a new Gongtaipingjiarui tea was cooked for Cai Jing to drink." . It can be seen that it is difficult to make lights without considering fire in the Song Dynasty.
In this way, it is inevitable that lanterns will become the first tea set in Song Dynasty. The legendary change of the station can be described as a thousand-year burial. Even after several reversals, today, Jianzhan still plays an important role in the teacup and continues to glow.
