There are still many legends. It is recommended to view /view/174798.htm Our Lady of Gold and Fire. According to legend, an emperor of a dynasty had a dream and saw a pair of vases that were red like sand, fresh like chicken blood, and crystal clear. They were very endearing. The next day, he sent his ministers to investigate around, and finally found out that it was Shenhou who fired the vase. The emperor passed down an imperial edict and asked Shenhou's kiln workers to bake the vase he saw in his dream. The Jun porcelain kiln became difficult to master, and the production conditions were backward. Nine out of ten kilns failed. But who dares to disobey the emperor's decree? After a lot of hard work, a kiln worker finally fired the vase and showed it to the emperor. The emperor was furious and said in front of the ministers: "These things are completely different from what I saw in my dream." An imperial edict was passed down that the vase in the dream could not be burned within ten days; all the kiln workers were executed. The kiln workers were busy firing day and night, but the deadline was approaching and they still couldn't fire it. There was a kiln worker's daughter named Yanhong. She was not only beautiful, but also kind-hearted. She had learned the modeling and firing techniques of porcelain from her father since she was a child. When a disaster was approaching, Yanhong was determined to test the fire and make her own. Blood seeped into the cage and condensed on the vase. She thought that she would die anyway if she didn't burn it, but if she burned it, she could save her parents and brothers from a disaster. The idea was determined. When the fire reached the critical moment of determining the glaze color, she climbed to the top of the kiln and fell into the kiln. She saw that the kiln was filled with red light and billowing red waves. When it came out of the kiln, a pair of vases, as crystal clear as jade and as bright as blood, stood gracefully in the sagger. In order to commemorate this beautiful and kind-hearted girl, people built temples and statues for her so that future generations would miss her. This is the later legendary Madonna of Gold and Fire. Chicken Blood Red In ancient times, there was an old kiln worker in Shenge named Wang Jun. His wife passed away early and he adopted a son named Wang Xiao. He made a living by firing hook porcelain by the Zuyu River in Daliushan Mountain. One night, as soon as Wang Jun fell asleep, he heard someone calling: "Wang Jun wakes up, Wang Jun wakes up." He got up and looked, but there was no one in the room. He turned over and fell asleep again. After a while, he saw a ray of red light, illuminating the small house like day. Wang Jun turned over and sat up, and saw an old man with white hair and a red face sitting beside the bed. The old man said to Wang Jun: You don't know the secret to making Jun porcelain. I am here to teach you the secret by order of the Jade Emperor. But mortals and immortals cannot talk to each other, so I wrote two words in my handwriting to inspire you. "As he spoke, he picked up a firewood stick and started writing. Wang Jun saw that it was the word "hard work". When he was about to ask more questions, the old man waved his hand and wrote: "The secret of heaven must not be leaked. After getting the secret, it will benefit future generations. Human beings must not take advantage of others, otherwise, what they gain will be lost again. "After writing, he drifted away. The next day, Wang Jun woke up and recalled what happened last night. It turned out to be a beautiful dream. Speaking of Wang Jun's craftsmanship, he was truly outstanding. No one in Qili Long Street could compare with him. The Jun porcelain he made was like Bowls, plates, stoves, tripods, bottles, washers, basins, bowls, etc. are all reasonably designed and generously shaped, but he cannot control the heat, and the fired products are often scrapped due to excessive glaze flow downwards, which troubles him. The immortal gave advice last night, but where to find human blood? After thinking about it, he finally made up his mind to test the fire by himself and pass it on to his descendants. He called his adopted son Wang Xiao to him. He told his son that the immortal man had instructed him to test the fire. Wang Xiaoplopped down and said, "Dad, you must not do it, you must not do it." Wang Jun looked serious, helped his son up and said, "My son, don't worry too much, it's God's will." "Wang Xiao saw that his father had made up his mind, so he also made up his mind secretly. A few days later, the father and son put the glaze on the blank and put it into the kiln, lit the fire, and burned it for three days and three nights. They saw thick smoke billowing in the kiln. , the flames kept jumping up. Wang Jun's eyes were bloodshot and his face was covered with sweat. He said to his son: "Son, it depends on tonight. I'm hungry. Go get a steamed bun." "Wang Xiao didn't know what the plan was, so he turned back to get the steamed buns. Wang Jun looked at the sky and shouted: "The sky has a spirit, don't let the old man lose his life's hard work. After that, he took off his clothes, climbed to the top of the kiln, and jumped into the blazing fire. Wang Jun jumped into the fire and immediately panicked the immortal who was secretly helping him. He squatted beside the kiln for three days and three nights, just waiting to help Wang Jun tonight. Unexpectedly, Wang Jun jumped into the kiln fire, stamped his feet and sighed: "Sin! Sin!" He saw that the matter was irreversible. Then he used his hands to enlighten him. I saw the thick smoke in the kiln suddenly disappearing, and the red waves rolling. When Wang Xiao came back with the buns and saw his father's clothes, he understood everything and screamed, dying to the ground. After a while, Wang Xiao came to Daliu Mountain and saw a white-haired immortal talking to his father. Wang Xiao rushed to the scene, took Xian Weng's hand and said, "Save my father." Xian Weng said, "This is the destiny. It's my fate. It's my fault. You must inherit your father's business and make Jun porcelain well. Contribute to the world. Your father is already in the immortal status, so there is no need to worry." After saying this, he pulled Wang Jun straight up to the sky.
When Wang Xiao looked up, he saw a piece of paper falling in the air. He picked it up and read it, which read "can be replaced with chicken blood". Besides, when the villagers saw that Wang Jun was dead, they hurriedly rescued Wang Xiao. He wiped his bloodshot eyes and looked at the fire in the kiln. He saw that the Jun porcelain works of various shapes were as colorful as if they were painted with a layer of color. Gorgeous and dazzling, very beautiful. In a trance, I seemed to see my father's figure. He sadly said to his neighbors: "No matter what red color this kiln is, it is called chicken blood red." Sure enough, the best color after leaving the kiln was chicken blood red. In addition, there are also colors such as rose red, crabapple red, and eggplant purple. In order to commemorate Wang Jun, people built a statue of him in the God Queen Fire Temple. Hundreds of years have passed, and this story has been spread among the gods. During the Song Dynasty, celadon-glazed porcelain was commonly fired in the Yangzhai area. An old woman led several sons to burn a porcelain kiln. One day when the kiln was being opened, several pieces of colorful glazed porcelain with red and purple spots suddenly appeared. The old woman was overjoyed. It must have been the appearance of the "Kiln God", and she hurriedly called the whole family to burn incense and kowtow at the Boling Ong Temple. But when the second kiln was fired, this glaze color was no longer visible. The old woman was very puzzled, why did the "Kiln God" not work? At this time, she suddenly saw a lot of copper scraps under the workshop house, and asked her son who removed it? The sons all said that they did not evacuate on their own, but that there was only a passing coppersmith who spent the night here the day before yesterday. The old woman thought to herself, could the red glaze have anything to do with the copper scraps? So I mixed copper scraps into the glaze, and sure enough, the glaze was made into a rose purple glaze that was brighter and more beautiful than the first time. The news spread, and kilns near and far imitated the production. Later, some skilled craftsmen mixed copper ore into the glaze and fired it into a purple-red glaze. From then on, green glaze ware was no longer a simple one-color glaze, but had a variety of tones, as beautiful as red clouds suddenly emerging in the blue sky. Earthworm Mud Pattern "Earthworm Mud Pattern" is a special pattern on the glaze of Jun porcelain. It looks like the traces left by earthworms crawling on the mud floor. It is in the shape of winding lines with different lengths, and some are single lines. , some have multiple lines crossing each other. This pattern originated from the Jun kiln of Song Dynasty and is unique to Jun porcelain. It is one of the artistic characteristics of Jun porcelain kiln. Regarding the earthworms walking on the mud, there is a legend among the people in Yuzhou: The Ying River in Beiguan, Yuzhou City used to be very deep, and there were fish, turtles, shrimps, crabs and other aquatic animals living in the water. The Shui Tribe has a unique leader called "Touwang". This king is supreme and holds the power of life and death for the water tribe. It is very powerful. Earthworms also lived in the water at that time, swimming around in the water like crabs and shrimps. Earthworms are also very good friends with crabs. One day, the two pliers on the crab's head accidentally pinched off two long whiskers of the ant shrimp, and the ant shrimp went to the king to complain. This ant and shrimp are very smart. In order to defeat the crab, it secretly gave the king a night pearl. The king was very happy when he saw it and accepted it. As the saying goes: Eat someone else's mouth soft, and take someone else's hand short. The king took the bribe and turned against the crab, so he sentenced the crab to be guilty and wanted to burn him to death. When the earthworm heard about this, he felt very sorry for the crab, so he went to the head king to comment. The king couldn't listen, so he couldn't help but sentence the earthworm and the crab to death together. The two executioner water ghosts led the crabs and earthworms to the shore, looked around for a place with a fire, walked around, and came to the Jun kiln farm on the south bank of the Ying River, where they happened to see the kiln workers installing the kiln. The two water ghosts took advantage of the situation and put the crabs and earthworms into the cage helmet containing the Jun porcelain glaze blank. Crabs lay on a chicken heart plate, and earthworms lay on a drum nail wash. The two water ghosts secretly watched the kiln workers install the kiln and seal the kiln door. After lighting the fire, they returned to the water to return to the king. After a while, the kiln workers lit the kiln on fire. Suddenly the kiln was filled with smoke, which made the crab shed tears, and the tears fell on the chicken heart plate. It couldn't bear it anymore, so it struggled to crawl out of the plate, and finally climbed out of the plate. Has the temperature in the kiln risen by now? The crab was still burned to ashes. The earthworms also crawled out of the drum nail wash at first, but the edge of the drum nail wash was high, so the earthworms crawled slowly, and they were burned to ashes after a while. When the Jun porcelain kiln was opened after a fire, the kiln workers found that there were many pearl-like spots on a chicken heart plate, and there were many lines on a drum nail wash that looked like earthworms crawling over it. The kiln workers thought the spots and patterns were very beautiful, so they named them "pearl spots" and "earthworm patterns" respectively. From then on, every Jun porcelain fired in this kiln had several pieces with earthworm patterns, and occasionally pearl spots appeared. The kiln workers felt very strange and didn't know what was going on.
But the aquarium people in Yinghe River know that this is the lingering ghosts of crabs and earthworms! He should not be punished with death, but he was sentenced to death. This is really a great injustice! Shortly after the crabs and earthworms were burned to death in the fire, the descendants of the earthworms felt that the king was too overbearing and did not want to be bullied in the water anymore, so they moved to land and stayed in the soil. But it's not enough to completely leave the water. I will go wherever the soil is wet, and I often crawl around on the wet mud. When later generations saw it, they only knew that earthworms could dig up the soil and walk through the mud, so people changed the name "earthworm pattern" to "earthworm walking pattern". The origin of the Wuzi Dengke bottle. Among the many varieties of Jun porcelain, there is a distinctive shape. It consists of six gourds, with a large gourd in the middle. There are five small gourds surrounding the big gourd that are connected to it. This The name of the device is "Five Sons Dengke". Speaking of this "Five Sons Admitted to the Imperial College", there is also an unusual origin. In the Song Dynasty of our country, there was a man named Dou, named Yujun, and nicknamed Yanshan. He studied hard when he was young. He rushed to take the exam year after year but never passed the exam. Later, when he got married and started a family, he became disheartened and had no intention of seeking fame. He has five sons, namely Yi, Yan, Kan, Zhong and Xi, all of whom are smart. He placed all his hopes on his sons and was determined to teach them to become successful. He let the children read his rich collection of books, used good educational methods to guide the children's learning, and at the same time taught the children his experiences, lessons, gains and losses in the past learning process, coupled with the hard work of his sons After working hard, one by one got on the Tuwang list and passed the exams. This incident caused a great sensation at the time, and everyone in the government and the public knew about it, and it became a good talk for a while. After this incident, the emperor thought that if all the parents in the world could teach their children as well as Dou Yanshan, so that the future generations would become useful talents for the country and be loyal to the country, then there would be no need to worry about the Song Dynasty being passed down from generation to generation. Strong. In order to encourage people all over the world to follow Dou Yanshan's example, and to encourage everyone to study hard, study diligently, and aspire to fame, the emperor issued two imperial edicts: First, Dou Yanshan's deeds of teaching his children to become successful students were compiled into the "Three Character Classic", a textbook for elementary school students that was being finalized. Second, make a permanent artifact to commemorate this event, and complete it within half a year. After the Prime Minister received the order, he immediately went to do it. The first thing the prime minister asked the minister in charge of compiling the "Three Character Classic" to do was to do it, and it was done quickly. Therefore, the "Three Character Classic" we now see contains these sentences: "Dou Yanshan has a righteous prescription, and he teaches the five disciples, and he is famous for it." The righteous prescription refers to the rules, laws, principles, etc. for living in the world. Refers to tutoring. But the second thing took a lot of thought by the Prime Minister. The deadline has passed one month and he hasn't thought about it yet. The Prime Minister has always been undecided about what materials to use. One day, the prime minister was sitting in his study, meditating. The gatekeeper came to report that an official in charge of paying tribute to porcelain was visiting. When the prime minister heard this, his eyes lit up: Yes, why not make this permanent artifact into porcelain? Porcelain is durable and beautiful. The prime minister immediately decided to use porcelain as a souvenir, and he wanted to use porcelain from Jun kiln. He chose Jun porcelain for two reasons: First, the name of Dou Yanshan was Yu Jun. The prime minister was erudite and talented, and he immediately thought that Yangdi, where Jun porcelain was produced, was the hometown of Dayu. The ruins are "ancient Juntai", and near Juntai is the imperial Jun kiln. The prime minister thought in his heart that it might be God's will to use Jun porcelain as a commemorative item. Second, Jun porcelain is crystal clear and colorful, ranking first among the five famous porcelains. It is not as single in tone as other porcelains. The Prime Minister ordered the porcelain tribute officer to burn Jun porcelain with profound meaning within a time limit and contribute it to the emperor to fulfill the emperor's will. After receiving the order, the tribute porcelain official did not dare to slack off. He returned to the Jun kiln and immediately ordered people to design and draw pictures and formulate a production plan. Finally, the auspicious gourd was chosen to fulfill this important mission. The shape of the utensil is a big gourd in the middle, surrounded by five small gourds connected with the big gourd. The five small gourds symbolize five sons, and the big gourd symbolizes the imperial examination. The word gourd is homophonic to "Fu Lu", and it has the meaning of "everlasting generations (vine belt)", which is in line with the emperor's eternal will. Jun porcelain kiln workers take turns working day and night. From blank making, glazing to firing, every process is carefully operated without any sloppiness. After many failures, a beautiful kiln-turned Jun porcelain treasure was finally fired within the final deadline. The tribute porcelain officials carefully wrapped this Jun porcelain treasure layer by layer in silk cloth without stopping, and escorted it to the Prime Minister's Mansion in the capital at starry night. The Prime Minister entered the palace and dedicated it to the Emperor in person. When the emperor took a look, he saw six shining gourds with purple and red glazes. Several curved lines on the glaze looked like earthworms walking on mud. They were really beautiful, and the materials were appropriately selected, with profound meaning. The emperor was overjoyed when he saw Empress Longyan, and issued an order to commend the prime minister, tribute porcelain officials and Jun kiln craftsmen, and bestowed this Jun porcelain with the name "Five Sons Enrolled in the Imperial Examination".
The name "Five Sons Deng Ke" was passed down in this way and has been used to this day. The "Guanyin bottle" shape is a common type of Jun porcelain. Its basic shape is a trumpet mouth, an inward neck, full shoulders, a round belly, and straight legs to feet. It is similar to the one held by the Guanyin Bodhisattva in the art works that people have seen. Clean bottles are similar. According to folklore, the pure vase held by Guanyin is actually a Jun porcelain vase, which was given to Guanyin by a Jun porcelain artist. Guanyin loved it very much, and later it became a treasure that she carried around with her, used to hold nectar, bring down nectar, and save all living beings. Legend has it that a long time ago, there was a severe drought in Yuzhou. The sun was scorching and the seedlings withered and turned yellow. One day, Guanshiyin Bodhisattva, who is a great merciful and compassionate rescuer, came here. Seeing this scene, he became kind-hearted and wanted to cast a spell to bring down sweet rain and save the people of Yuzhou. Guanyin thought to himself: "The East Sea is deep and inexhaustible, why not use it? But the mountains are high and the roads are far away, so what can be used to hold the water? I heard that a kind of precious porcelain is produced in this area. Why not use a precious porcelain bottle to hold the water? Isn't it good?" Guanyin came to the door of a kiln and knocked on the firewood door. The door opened. The person who opened the door was a girl named Caihong. Caihong recognized it as Guanyin Bodhisattva, knelt down and worshiped it, and asked Guanyin Bodhisattva to quickly save the people of Yuzhou. Guanyin said: "That's why I'm here. Get up quickly. Lend me your Jun porcelain vase." Upon hearing this, Caihong was very happy and hurried back to the house to take out a beautiful Jun porcelain vase. Vase, and repeatedly said that he would give this vase to Guanyin Bodhisattva. Seeing her sincerity, Guanyin happily accepted the offer. Guanyin came to the sky above the East China Sea, turned the mouth of the treasure bottle downwards, and muttered something in his mouth. He saw a column of water rushing up from the sea and getting into the mouth of the treasure bottle. Guanyin finished sucking the water from the treasure bottle, returned to the sky above Yuzhou, and started to make rain with the treasure bottle in hand. Every drop of water dripping out of the vase turns into a downpour. The vase keeps dripping water, and the heavy rain keeps falling. The crops in the field have drunk enough water, and the seedlings are growing straight up and becoming green. People in Yuzhou area rushed to tell each other and thanked Guanyin Bodhisattva for sending down the nectar. Seeing that the rain had fallen enough, Guanyin put away the vase and rode the cloud to other places to save all sentient beings. After the rain, the weather cleared, and every household began to work as usual. Girl Caihong was thoughtful and made many Jun porcelain bottles according to the original bottle given to Guanyin Bodhisattva, and named them "Guanyin bottles" - this is the origin of the shape of Guanyin bottles. Because the Guanyin bottle has a simple shape and smooth lines, it is more suitable for the change of Jun glaze. In addition, it has a certain connection with Guanyin Bodhisattva and has the meaning of auspiciousness and happiness. Therefore, it is deeply loved by everyone and is still popular today.
