Name: Seven Sages of Bamboo Forest

In June 2002, "China Zisha Art Exhibition" won the "Gold Award".

Capacity: large: 800cc small: 350cc

Height: 13cm

Introduction: During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, there were seven people: Ji Kang, Ruan Xian, Xiang Xiu, Wang Rong, Dan Tao, Ruan Ji and Liu Ling. They were knowledgeable and ambitious. But they were born because of cynicism, unable to serve the country and living in seclusion in the mountains. In the bamboo forest, they recite poems, play chess, drink tea and drink, and live a leisurely life. Later people called it "Seven Sages of Bamboo Forest". I don't know much about "Seven Sages of Bamboo Forest". It is said that Ji Kangshan Qin himself composed a wonderful tune "Guangling San", which was later summoned by Cao Cao and killed because he didn't want to play for Cao Cao. The song Guangling San is lost. Become a masterpiece of eternal regret. Dan Tao will do business, make a fortune, and then retire to the mountains with all his property to help the poor. Liu Ling is famous for drinking. Xiang Xiu realized many human philosophies. Ruan Ji loves wine and sings well. Ruan Xian is good at playing pipa. Wang Rong is the youngest of the seven sages. The purple sand tea set of "Seven Sages of Bamboo Forest" that has been made for a long time has not been made for various reasons. One idea was to arrange seven pots one by one, but it was not adopted in the end. Later, more than ten pots were drawn. The work "Seven Sages of Bamboo Forest" takes a pot of six cups and seven pieces as a set, highlighting the word "seven". The spout, handle, handle and cup handle are all made of bamboo, with high-grade brocade boxes with columns, which can also be used as a "tea sea" made of bamboo, with bamboo everywhere. This has certainly become a "bamboo forest". I used crab yellow mud to highlight the striking and simple picture. The capacity of the pot is about 800cc, the height is about 13cm, the length from mouth to handle is about 18cm, the cup diameter is 6.5cm, and the cup height is 3.8cm. A pot of tea, excluding tea leaves, accounts for exactly six cups. In shape, the pot body is like a bamboo, and the cup is a part of the reduced pot body, so that the shapes of the pot and the cup are coordinated and unified. I still use the traditional ceramic carving decoration method in decoration. Frontal depiction, in the picture, the person who plays the piano looks complacent and is well-being; Dan Tao, an eccentric and proud cynic; Xiang Xiu who closed his eyes and had an epiphany; Ruan Ji, addicted to alcohol, was hoarse; Ruan xian, holding mysterious music, is unrestrained; Liu Ling, a drinker who laughs with others; Wang Rong, a laid-back person. Bamboo groves are interspersed among the characters, and small paragraphs are carved in order to adjust the structure of the picture. The figures in the painting are different in form and spirit, with traditional lines, skillful painting, meticulous carving, full of new ideas, undiminished ancient flavor, and full of change and unity. Finally, I carved the words in cursive script on the other side of the pot, "Nanmu Plow, Dongshan Lie, the world is full of worldly wisdom, and I have missed the past. The sage is him and the fool is me. What are you fighting for? " To show the carefree mood of the seven sages and others. The meanings of words, pictures and pots echo each other. Throughout the whole set of works, the teapot and the cup are unified in shape; The changeable lines in cursive script are in harmony with the lines of characters' clothes; Yellow stripes and black paintings form a color contrast; Poetry, books, paintings and pots are all closely related to meaning. All these have achieved the expected purpose. When the work was completed, it just happened to catch up with the "China Zisha Art Exhibition" held in Suzhou in June 2002, and was commissioned to shoot and won the "Gold Award". Even so, in order to be more perfect, I still hope that teachers and friends will put forward shortcomings and suggestions, which will be appreciated.

Name: Eight Immortals Teapot

This work won the gold medal in the 6th Modern Life Boutique Expo in 2000 at 5438+0 on June 2006.

Capacity: large: 800cc small: 350cc

Height:13.8cm.

Brief introduction: There are many folk myths and legends about the Eight Immortals in China, such as "Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each displaying his magical powers", "Eight Immortals celebrating their birthdays" and "Eight Immortals drinking wine". There are often some artworks and artworks with the theme of Eight Immortals on the market. However, "eight immortals taste tea" has never been seen. I made the "Eight Immortals Taste the Teapot" mainly to praise the tea culture, add some auspicious and peaceful mythological atmosphere while eating tea, and increase the appeal of art. I designed the shape of the pot to be pear-shaped, and the shape of the spout to be the head of a chicken, which means good luck. The button of the pot is the handle of the pear, and the handle of the pot is the branch of the pear, which is not only coordinated with the pot body, but also connected with the meaning; The height of the pot is 13.8cm, the length from the mouth to the handle is about 18cm, and the capacity is about 800cc. In terms of material, I choose crab yellow mud to make the picture more dazzling and have the charm of antique Chinese painting. Crab yellow mud is made of old mud, which is one of the three main colors of purple sand (purple mud, clear cement and mud) and natural matte (also the raw material of purple sand). These mineral materials are all hand-selected and belong to real natural purple sand mud. In decoration, the eight immortals carved in the pot have different shapes. Tie Guai Li wears a gourd around her waist, singing and dancing; Han Xiangzi stared at his pipe and did as the Romans do; Han Zhong shook the sunflower fan with his left hand, carefree; He Xiangu sat with a cup and listened to Silver. Zhang put a fish drum and waved it happily; Lan Caihe stood with a basket, followed by a crane; Lv Dongbin drank a cup of tea and had a fragrant aftertaste; Cao Guojiu held the clappers and raised his glass to drink. There are two cups of green tea for the Eight Immortals on the ground. The aroma is overflowing and the cranes are dancing. The whole Eight Immortals are intoxicated with this peaceful and elegant atmosphere. The figures in the picture have traditional lines and fine carvings. When I carved them, I deliberately increased the thickness, depth and virtual reality of the lines. In many places, I used the method of scraping the skin flat (depth) to increase the ink color, layering and color contrast of the picture. Finally, I carved a poem "Eight Immortals Drunk Clouds" on the other side of the pot with traditional calligraphy to celebrate the fragrance and delicacy of the new tea brewed by Yixing Zisha teapot. The selection of materials, modeling, workmanship, calligraphy, painting, knife work, printing and implication of the pot are all based on tradition, with the pot as the main line and close cooperation, which is a real "innovation in tradition" and has achieved the satisfactory artistic effect I expected in my heart. It is a great honor that this work was held in the sixth session of 200 10.
