Shenhe Town, Yuzhou City, Henan Province, is a mysterious, magical and sacred place. Her name is a mystery, and the four imperial titles in history are a dazzling charm. Here are the lush Dalong Mountain, the beautiful Fengchi Mountain, one dragon and one phoenix, the dragon and the phoenix are auspicious, outstanding people, and beautiful bells: rich and unique porcelain clay, ingenious firing with the unity of nature and man, magical and unpredictable natural kiln transformation, style Different Jun porcelain artists jointly created the poetic Jun soul.
Miao Jianxu, the owner of Longshan Junci Workshop, is a Junci artist with a poetic temperament. He is very distinctive in firing Jun porcelain, and the treasures he produces must be accompanied by poems. I remember reading Miao Jianxu's prose, etc. I felt that not only was the writing style delicate and nuanced, but the form was novel and unique. He could always find a different angle from others. His writing ideas were coherent and smooth, and he was good at focusing on details. Reading it always makes people fascinated. There is something to be learned from the ordinary. Just imagine, Miao Jianxu is "refining mud into gold" and "making flowers into flowers" at the same time. It is difficult to do this without a profound cultural background. I really want to know how this Jun porcelain artist with a poetic temperament used his personal insights to express the changes in Jun porcelain kilns and glaze paintings that countless Jun porcelain artists want to vomit but cannot, and want to say but cannot express. artistic conception. Recently, I finally had the honor to visit this Junci artist with a poetic temperament.
Seeing Miao Jianxu, several people sat around the tea table, sipping tea and chatting. After an in-depth conversation, I found that Miao Jianxu is indeed a unique "Junci poet" in the Junci world, with both literary and military skills: "Literary" means that he has a bright mind and can write good articles, including prose and poetry about Junci. The writing is particularly vivid and often seen in newspapers and magazines, such as "Porcelain Pieces", "Kiln Fire Like Water", "Perception of the Holy Fire God Jun", "The Wind on the Ancient Jun Terrace", "Things in Porcelain Town", etc. The local customs and customs are transformed into beautiful articles, and the poetic sentences in the article are all full of poetic artistic conception; the "Wu" person is his superb skills and is good at making porcelain. The Jun porcelain works he fired are simple and modern, subtle and yet The atmosphere is self-contained.
Miao Jianxu said that his father was an old worker at Junci No. 1 Factory. He had been burning kilns all his life and had a profound understanding of fire. He would accompany him to burn kilns and talk about fires with him when he had nothing to do. people and things. Gradually, he became obsessed with Junci and Huo. Later, he founded his own kiln. It was at that time that he successfully produced the appreciation plate "Fragrant Lotus Millennium". The moment he saw this reward plate, he had a lot of thoughts. Repairing the base, applying glaze, installing the kiln, and lighting the fire, 56 plates were individually fired into such a beauty. He was extremely excited and inspired, "The lotus leaves are planted with skillful hands, and the big beads and small beads are condensed on the jade plate; if it is not created by the furnace and kiln, how can the fragrance remain for a thousand years." This is how the first poem written to Jun Ci was born. . Poetry is the essence of language and the concentration of narrative. It can reveal and interpret the true meaning of beauty.
Miao Jianxu said that he used to teach in the morning and light the kiln in the afternoon. Every time he fired the kiln, he would carefully note the chromatographic changes of the flame and study the color mechanism of the glaze. He often observed and thought while firing the kiln, and recorded in detail the changes in glaze at high temperatures. In long-term practice, he summed up the rules of kiln fire, and successfully fired a stunning plum vase. He also improvised a poem to record his mood at that time: "The red is extremely red and the purple air rises. The stars are dotted like fireflies; if you are lucky enough to take a look, you will be covered with ivy in your dreams. "Indeed, the plum vase, which was red and purple and covered with earthworms and mud patterns, was so beautiful that it kept him awake all night.
Talking about the poem he wrote in the article "Kiln Fire is Like Water", Miao Jianxu said that on quiet nights, he often squatted next to the stove, listening to the sound of the fire in the stove, and through it. Passing through the fire viewing hole and watching the boiling fire in the furnace flowing between the carcass, he felt that the kiln fire was like the flowing water, and naturally thought of the water flowing between countless pebbles in the shallow river bed. It is water that shapes the strange and colorful pebbles. However, these countless star-like pebbles originally had no color and had the same appearance. He thought, since the flow rate of water is very different between microns, can the pebbles washed out by it be exactly the same? The fire of a kiln is like water, and this should be the truth about Jun Wushuang. After that, he often looked at the water-like kiln fire and thought: The reason why the cliff formed the waterfall was because of its huge drop. The drop created a platform for the water lying flat on its back. This platform cost the water its body and soul, but it made it famous. In the dead of night, the sound of "ding bells", "ding bells", and the opening of Jun porcelain pieces seems to come from the pipa played by Bai Juyi in the Tang Dynasty 1,300 years ago; this is a kind of Zen state, just like Miao Jianxu's "Kiln Fire Deep" Refining Taoism everywhere, enlightening Zen in the opening sound of the film." Junci's poem was born. This poem is not only a true portrayal of his Jun-burning career, but also a classic line that earned him the nickname "Jun Porcelain Poet". All Junci masters and literati who read this sentence clapped their hands and exclaimed.
Miao Jianxu said that when the kiln is fired, at a high temperature of 1300°C, in the dazzling flames, tongues of fire shuttle between the porcelain bodies, like the ribbons of the flying goddess, reminding you of the dancing ribbons in the wind. You think of Chang'e's wide and fluttering sleeves in the moonlight, and you think of Taishang Laojun's smile when he was about to refine the elixir. "At this time, I often think that as a teacher, if you want students to truly understand the idiom 'perfect in the furnace,' it is best to lead them to watch a 1,300°C furnace fire." Miao Jianxu said with an expressive look on his face. shine. What Miao Jianxu is most obsessed with is the moment when he opens the kiln in the early morning. It is full of trepidation and longing. This is a moment that makes people's hearts beat faster. If you have never fired a kiln, you will not understand the beauty of it. of.
What a person who is obsessed with kiln fire! I am not only in awe in my heart.
Miao Jianxu said that one day, the sunlight outside the window shone into the house. The window faced the west. Through the window lattice, he saw the huge red bean-like sun rolling towards the distant sky. Its slightly gentle light was spreading freely over the earth and sky. Isn't this just like A fire observation hole? Then, behind it is the big kiln of the universe. It must also be blazingly changing thousands of stars and spiritual creatures, unchanged from time immemorial. In an instant, he wrote another poem for Jun porcelain: "Heaven and earth are originally a big kiln, with gold, wood, water and earth covering the sky for burning." It can be said that while Miao Jianxu was burning Jun, he went into depth with literary passion. Consider the art of clay and fire.
God rewards hard work. Miao Jianxu's works have been published in more than 20 newspapers and periodicals, including "Hundred Prose Schools" and "China Education News", and have won many awards. The themes include prose, essays, poetry, etc. Many people were deeply attracted by his unique style of seeing the true feelings in the subtleties of his articles. They came here to request manuscripts from him. Miao Jianxu gradually attracted the attention and praise of people in the literary circle, and even received praise and encouragement from the literary master Wang Jianbing. Become a rising star in the Xuchang literary world. Since 2011, Miao Jianxu has started writing a series of essays called "Things in Porcelain Town", which has received good social response. Among them, in the article "Cement", he compared husband and wife to cement. If a husband and wife are harmonious and have a harmonious family, blessings will gather together like cement and be strong and permanent. The metaphor is so apt and vivid that it is amazing. At the beginning of this year, Miao Jianxu helped Yongchun Jun Kiln write an article describing a female Jun porcelain artist. The article took a different approach, starting from the perspective of a weak woman who was supposed to make Zhu Nongfen but engaged in the laborious craft of drawing blanks. The in-depth description of her expressions and movements during the drawing process allows readers to appreciate the charm of Jun porcelain artists and Jun porcelain production in every detail. Once the article was published, the response was strong, and people came to Shenge Yongchun Jun Kiln to observe and appreciate the beauty's drawing skills. Since then, more and more Junci companies and Junci masters have come to him to write articles and make publicity. In this way, while Miao Jianxu was writing poetry, he also contributed to the promotion and development of Jun porcelain culture. It can be said that "the poems inside and outside the poems shape the soul of Jun".
Farewell to Miao Jianxu, we went back along the road around the town. Looking back at the overall view of the town, we can see that the ancient town is built on the mountain and has a reasonable layout. The Xiaohe River passes through the city, merchants come and go one after another, and the vehicles flow continuously, giving it a prosperous appearance. In recent years, with the continuous advancement of comprehensive improvement of the urban and rural environment and the in-depth development of the construction of "Beautiful Yuzhou", the urban and rural appearance of our city is changing with each passing day. Driving on the highway around the town and the Yushen Expressway, you can appreciate the breathtaking scenery and feel the honest and peaceful life: men focus on burning bonsai and women take care of the housework.
At this time, I couldn't help but have such a picture in my mind: It was clear after the rain. At the foot of Dalong Mountain, Miao Jianxu was bathing in the glow, sipping tea, admiring the jun, and discussing Tao...
