History

In the long history, there are many people with lofty ideals and skilled craftsmen who have worked hard and made significant contributions to the development of Liling porcelain industry. In 1904, Xiong Xiling, a native of Phoenix in Hunan (who served as Prime Minister of Beiyang Province after the Revolution of 1911), and Wen Junduo, a Liling Juren who had participated in the "Bus -" went to Japan for inspection based on the idea of ??saving the country through industry. During their stay in Japan, they discovered that the Japanese porcelain industry had advanced technology and excellent products. After returning to China the next year, Xiong Xiling, accompanied by Wen Junduo, went to Liling's main rough porcelain production areas to conduct investigations. He found out the main reasons for the backwardness of Liling's porcelain production. At the same time, he also saw the favorable conditions for Liling's further development of porcelain production: consumption The market is vast, porcelain clay resources are abundant, and labor is cheap.

Immediately he put forward ideas such as "establishing schools and companies", which received strong support from the Hunan government. That year, the Hunan Government Porcelain Industry School was officially opened in Liling. The following year, the Hunan Porcelain Industry Manufacturing Company was established in Liling. Xiong Xiling was appointed as the general manager of the company, and Wen Junduo was appointed as the school supervisor. The company hired Japanese technicians and Jingdezhen technical workers, introduced Japan's most advanced production technology and equipment at the time, and opened a new era in Liling from coarse porcelain production to fine porcelain development. The unique Liling underglaze multicolored porcelain was developed under this background.

Early Period

Previously, Liling porcelain used a single cobalt oxide (commonly known as earthen ink) as the decorative material. After manually drawing rough flower and plant patterns, it was covered with glaze and fired into underglaze blue and white porcelain. From 1907 to 1908, Hunan Porcelain School developed a variety of underglaze pigments such as grass green, sea blue, brilliant black, ocher and agate red. After repeated research and development, the famous painting masters of Hunan Porcelain Manufacturing Company and the graduates of the ceramic painting class of the Porcelain Industry School used self-made underglaze colorants, the double-hook water-filling method of traditional Chinese painting and the "three-firing" method to produce refreshing products. of underglaze multicolored porcelain. Underglaze multicolored porcelain has delicate porcelain, exquisite painting, freshness and elegance, and unique style. The colors under the glaze layer present a lifelike picture, which has high artistic value and use value. Its launch immediately received great attention and praise from industry insiders and domestic and foreign public opinion. From 1909 to 1911, Liling underglaze multicolored porcelain participated in the Wuhan Industry Encouragement Association, the Nanyang Industry Encouragement Association, and the Turang International Competition in Italy, and won consecutive gold medals. Liling porcelain began to become famous in China and to the world. "White as jade, as bright as a mirror, as thin as paper, and as loud as a chime" was the good reputation Liling Porcelain won at that time.

In 1915, Liling Porcelain traveled across the ocean and participated in the Panama Pacific International Exposition held in San Francisco, USA. The underglaze multicolored lentil double-bird porcelain bottle exhibited was the same as Kweichow Moutai. Won the highest honor and won two gold medals for China. The Lentil Double Bird Porcelain Vase is a classic made by the Hunan Porcelain Company in 1911. The height of the bottle is 46.8 cm, and the diameter of the lip is 20 cm. The body of the bottle is as white as jade, shaped like a phoenix tail, with smooth lines. The glaze is crystal clear and moist, the color is calm and elegant, the color composition is vivid and natural, and the craftsmanship is amazing. It is praised abroad. Public opinion hails it as "the peak of oriental ceramic art". Since then, Liling porcelain has become world-famous, with an endless stream of buyers, and a number of private fine porcelain manufacturing companies have been established one after another. The prosperity at that time was comparable to that of Jingdezhen. Underglaze multicolored porcelain has become a major feature of Chinese ceramics and a world-wide initiative. .

After a short development period of one or two decades, underglaze multicolored porcelain began to decline in the late 1920s due to the impact of multiple wars. More than 100 porcelain factories in Liling ceased production. The Hunan Porcelain Manufacturing Company, which produced underglaze multicolored porcelain, also closed down in 1930, and the production of underglaze multicolored porcelain was interrupted.

After liberation

In 1949, Liling was peacefully liberated. The dying Liling porcelain industry was like a dead tree blooming with spring. In the next few years, Liling porcelain industry quickly recovered and achieved considerable development. In 1954, in order to resume the production of underglaze colored porcelain that had been suspended for more than 20 years, after many searches by relevant departments, Wu Shouqi, the first graduate of the ceramic painting class of the former Hunan Porcelain Industry School and an underglaze colored porcelain artist, was found. At this time, Mr. Wu was nearly seventy years old and enjoying his old age in the countryside. After Mr. Wu came out of the mountain, he trained underglaze painters and reformed traditional techniques, changing the "three firings" to two firings. The production of underglaze multicolored porcelain was restored in a short time. Since then, Hunan Ceramics Research Institute and Liling Porcelain Company Art Porcelain Factory (Qunli Porcelain Factory) were established successively, becoming units specializing in the research and production of underglaze decoration. During this period, the Liling porcelain industry quickly realized a historic transformation from manual to mechanical, and from wood kilns to coal kilns. New materials, new technologies, new processes, and new products emerged in an endless stream. Underglaze multicolored porcelain regained its splendor and even won the title of " "National Porcelain" reputation.

Liling underglaze multicolored porcelain is a new type of ceramics. The firing of Liling underglaze multicolored porcelain in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China was only more than 20 years ago. Due to the troubled times, the coverage of the works is not wide, the fine products are rare, and the handed down works are only limited. More than 400 pieces.

The production process of a piece of underglaze multicolored porcelain is extremely cumbersome, complicated and extremely difficult. First of all, the best quality porcelain clay is selected as the embryo. Before forming, the porcelain clay is subjected to processes such as sedimentation, residue filtering, and iron absorption to ensure that the porcelain clay is not mixed with other impurities. The actual molding requires artists to polish the porcelain body to be very thin and smooth. The process depends entirely on the artist's hand. Only those with more than ten years of production experience can do it. The color pigments used in its paintings come from glaze raw materials, rare earth and non-ferrous metal minerals. Some of the pigments also contain precious metals such as gold, which are very precious. Since underglaze multicolored porcelain is painted directly on the blank, allowing the color material to be decorated on the glaze requires very high skills from the painter. Worshiping the kiln god before firing is an indispensable ritual, because the painted porcelain body must be fired at a high temperature of about 1370°C. Because it is fired at a high temperature, it is technically difficult to master, and it is like finding treasure in the fire, with a yield of less than 70%. Even so, only a few porcelain factories can produce porcelain at present.
