Theme: Seminar on the Revitalization and Development of Liling Underglaze Art

Time: June 15, 2019 in the afternoon

Venue: Guozhong Ceramic Art Museum    

Fu Weijie: I am very glad to see the exhibition of Liling underglaze porcelain.  Liling development to today, nearly twenty years of changes are very, very big, and the talent is all the old and young people continue to develop, talent echelon has also been built.  In particular, in recent years, the successive governments in Liling have changed a lot.  When we went to Liling, we felt that the city's appearance, cultural parks and industrial parks had changed a lot, and the planning was very orderly.  The government exhibition hall and the porcelain valley of the folk art museum reflect each other, making the city develop very fast in ceramics, especially in underglaze multicolored porcelain in recent years.  Today, more than 50 people came to Liling, with 100 pieces of works.  Some people have great changes in the method of decoration, especially there are many young people's works.

So many people have come to this seminar this afternoon.  All of you sitting opposite me are those who have paid close attention to the development of Liling ceramics for so many years, especially those who have paid close attention to the growth of young people from the generation of Huang Xiaoling.

Now let's invite Mr.  Zhang to talk about it first.

Zhang shouzhi: let me make a brief comment.  I think Liling has a long history, but it has been a famous producing area for nearly 200 years. One is before the founding of new China, Hunan Liling glaze colorful appearance, probably the artistic porcelain valley, including its process, scientific research, especially under the glaze colorful paint, and with the nearly several dozens years, the famous Wu Shouji zhang teacher, the famous gold medal winner of panama, is recovering development under the Hunan Liling ceramic glaze colorful China's leaders. After 70 years of development, Hunan Liling underglaze is not only a famous art porcelain valley in China, but also in the world. Especially under the Liling glaze colorful decoration process, today's mature under the glaze color appears such a good effect, should from the liberation of the glaze next now moved into the middle, that is to say, the porcelain embryo before plastic burning a layer of white glaze after burn, this time with a layer of white glaze porcelain body, should be in the volatile guy, underglaze color volatile impurities away. This time porcelain embryo, embryo also has a lot of water absorption. At this time, the embryo is stronger than the original firm. Looking back, and then decorated with multicolor under the glaze, after the decoration and then thin spray on a layer of glaze, the last 1400 degrees of firing. This did not exist in the history of underglaze color before liberation, but it was developed after liberation.

Colorful under the glaze is originally five pigments, are metal color directly. After the reform and opening up, the founding of the new China, the president care, the president in Hunan farmers report, Liling set up a red base. So after the liberation, the chairman returned from Beijing to Hunan and talked about the porcelain in Liling in a certain county.  Finally, the ceramic company in Liling street sent our cadres to report directly to the chairman. Later, with special approval from the chairman and the central government, the first ceramic company was directly established in the light industry department of Hunan province, which was state-owned.  At that time, the whole country was still in the early stage of transition from the independent handicraft industry economy to the cooperative one. Liling, which was specially approved by Chairman Mao, became the first state-owned enterprise in China.

Therefore, the glory and development of Liling ceramics in new China were directly aided by Chairman Mao's personal care, because Liling is the revolutionary base of the red in our country. After the liberation of the People's Republic of China, in 1956, the industrial art institute set the ceramic producing areas in Liling as a teaching base to cultivate 5-year undergraduate students.  At that time, one was the ceramic research institute in Liling and the other was Qunli Ceramics Factory, which later expanded to several factories such as Guoguang Ceramics Factory, Yongsheng Ceramics Factory and Hongxing Ceramics Factory. Almost every year, graduates of the five-year undergraduate program complete class design, internship and even graduation project there. After the reform and opening up, the graduate system has been developed, and now Tsinghua University has merged with the Academy of Arts and Crafts, and is now called the Academy of Fine Arts of Tsinghua University. Now the graduate and undergraduate students in the department of ceramic art and design of the academy of fine arts of Tsinghua university are working in Liling, Hunan province to complete their graduation projects in these artists' studios. Therefore, the development of Hunan Liling in the past 70 years in New China is very remarkable.

I know, the scientific researchers of Liling Ceramics Institute have done a great job. I remember that at that time, some of the researchers were demobilized soldiers and returned to Liling to make materials in the army. I remember the cultural revolution, premier zhou with porcelain, a visitor of the great hall of the people, in 1974 in Liling, I was let's do red kiln porcelain to chairman MAO, I remember the black there are welcoming pine oil oxidation, finally we are we porcelain factory, Shanghai institute of ceramics to a few engineers, take a look at the oxidation of oil burning guest-greeting pine. Is there any color in this cup? After testing, 1400 degrees after burning no color. Finally found that the operator, painting glaze color room has put color, immediately suspended. At that time, the guest greeting pine made samples for Premier Zhou was not sent to the Great Hall of the People.  It was found in the showrooms and archives of Qunli Porcelain Factory and Research Institute. Finally, the secretary, Peng Yuequan, said, "Mr.  Zhang, you can't give this cup to the Central Committee.  Do you want these two cups?"No color, gave it to me, and it's still in my house.

Later, researchers also studied pigments, this black color can achieve the same effect containing sulfur oxide, so the final supply of the Great Hall of the People Premier Zhou reception outside the use. At that time, Li Weishan, the director of Hunan Liling Ceramics Research Institute, was transferred from Changsha.  I remembered that Li Weishan should have come from the public security system of Changsha. Finally, in the research of Liling under-glaze colorings, the single pre-cultural revolution under-glaze colorings were transformed into synthetic pigments, and a series of colorings were developed. Finally Liling under-glaze multicolored before the Cultural Revolution National Day 15 anniversary has completed the whole synthetic pigment color system, more than 100 colors are very stable. But in today's exhibition hall, after seeing your contemporary reform and opening up, now Liling underglaze colorful pigments are more abundant.

I remember about in the midst of the cultural revolution in 1974, including the Liling institute for chairman MAO do red official kiln chairman MAO porcelain, and we porcelain industry in the world's largest department store -- among the largest department store in the United States, the tableware of Chinese only can we Liling porcelain industry of Hunan dishes with world famous dishes are in the same show at the counter. This is the new development after the reform and opening up, not before the conversion of state-owned enterprises, China's reform and opening up before the the tableware of pottery and porcelain production, we are a ceramic ancient civilizations, but through the development of the founding of new China, has arrived after the cultural revolution before the conversion of the state-owned enterprises, high-grade tableware in the big department stores around the world do not have the position of the Chinese tableware. Only the underglaze multicolored cutlery of Hunan Qunli Porcelain Factory can stand on an equal basis in the big department stores all over the world, which shows that the new China's ceramics, recovering the wounds of the war, developed to the early stage of reform and opening up.

The factory has become a national model.  It has only 18 models for export.  When it became a major exporter of white porcelain, there were only 18 models for export, and no tableware was exported. Later, when President Jiang Zemin was president of China and met with Fei Mingyi, director of Guoguang Porcelain Factory, in Wuhan, China, the factory was already a leading exporter of ceramics in the whole country.  However, the factory could not reach the level of Liling in Hunan Province, and also of Hunan Qunli Porcelain Factory. Qunli porcelain factory started from the fifteenth anniversary of National Day, and then five years later in 1959, the tableware of the banquet for five thousand people in the Great Hall of the People, with the blue begonia as the ceiling lining, was used until after the Cultural Revolution. Including, Premier Zhou's cup to welcome the guest song, was later replaced by who? It was replaced by Chongqing Hualian, which was soon eliminated. The Golden Hall of the Great Hall of the People is the banquet hall where the President receives foreign heads of state.  Until today, before last year or so, all the dishes for the state banquet are still Liling. Therefore, the tableware in the Great Hall of the People has always been high-temperature underglaze color.  Basically, the blue and white design for the 10th anniversary of National Day was made in Jingdezhen People Porcelain Factory by two classes (Class 1 and Class 2 of the Art and Technology Institute) led by me. However, the 15th anniversary of National Day should have been Li Xiaolian and Ding Huahan, which was finally selected.  The 15th anniversary of National Day in the Great Hall of the People has been used until now. Liling Wanhua porcelain, the first two summits porcelain is still used.

So I say, the underglaze color of Liling is its material, raw material is the foundation, technology is the means, burning is the key. The 1400 degree high temperature porcelain in the world only Liling one. So high temperature underglaze color porcelain in the world today only Liling. It can be said that this underglaze color decoration craft, this 200 years of development, is our national treasure of the People's Republic of China, too precious.

I came this morning, I asked to say that now Liling glaze multicolored inheritor of course people? He said there are 300 craftsmen, 300 people at least have more than 100 studios, so I think it is very precious, very precious, the only wealth in the world. Later because of reform and opening up, Hunan Xiangxi ball clay had, more than a decade ago and dedicated to the necessary porcelain industry of the State Council, necessary porcelain factory is because the saw the Xiangxi ball clay ore in ethnic minority autonomous region set up necessary porcelain industry, when necessary porcelain industry of ball clay around 100 tons, then make a ball of Zhuzhou soil now make ceramic enterprises to buy, now he is playing at the ball. That's why I think the ingredients are important.

Today I and Ling said, now Liling is basically white porcelain, raw materials who supply?Chaozhou, Chaozhou has bought Longyan mine, Dehua mine and another mine in another county, so the raw materials from there are supplied to Liling. Today I tell Xiaolin a new news, the best porcelain material in Lian Dehua is not Longyan soil of Dehua today, but plateau soil of Yunnan. Now Yunnan Province is a mineral source of rich ceramic raw materials in China.  Now the kaolin in Yunnan is used.  Now the best porcelain materials in Dehua are not Longyan soil in Dehua, but those in Yunnan. You can find it online. We engage in such precious handicraft art ceramics, our country is the most abundant porcelain clay resources the most abundant base. This is not available in Japan, which used to have mines that had been employed for a long time, and which did not have any good China clay at all, and relied entirely on imports.

Therefore, now the largest kaolin mine in Asia is in our Beihai, which is Zheng Zhi's hometown.  Chairman Zheng Zhi invested in the mine in the Northwest Sea, as did the original Daoming mine in Guangdong. Zheng Zhi is the chairman of the Beijing Cosco Group.  Now he has bought the best kaolin mines in three European countries, all of which belong to us, and the best red mines in Canada. Zheng Zhi is engaged in finance, and is engaged in mining. His business now has a certain amount of money, so four and a half years ago he rented this place here, this place used to be a base of the coal ministry, Ping An Fu on Ping An Avenue, the Qing Dynasty royal palace. What is he doing renting this place now? Reward ceramics and promote Chinese ceramic culture.

Today, we are holding an exhibition here.  Three years ago, I was also the honorary curator of this place.  Since you are members of the Oriental Women Ceramic Association, when I came again, I said, Xiaoling, your women ceramists should hold an exhibition here.

This year, the 70th anniversary of the birth, 40 years after the reform and opening up, today brought the works, advantages: technology, raw materials, artists, in the underglaze decorative art, performance is the traditional regional cultural characteristics, only Hunan has such a good underglaze color. In addition, times. In this era, after the reform and opening up, the works of the fourth generation are the main ones.  They are individual, but also have the personality of each artist. I think it's an advantage. I would also like to remind you that Liling is too close to Jingdezhen, so don't be influenced by Jingdezhen's artistic style. Paths of their own under the glaze colorful decoration language, to the jingdezhen's performance under the glaze colorful so elegant, so light, on a leaf, a flower petal, water way dozens of times, this level can be said to be one of the world nor any ceramics factory lady manifested in decorative art of the texture, so beautiful. Photography is not as good as ours. So I think it must have been last year, in the National Museum of the exhibition of one, did not expect the public response is too good, extended for a full three months. In my opinion, the seventy years of achievements under the underglaze, especially since the reform and opening up, have been invaluable.

So I think, stick to play their own artistic language, go their own way. This is other ceramic on glaze decoration, enamel color, pastel color, blue and white are not up to, including Japan's Fumio Inada is also engaged in high temperature underglaze color, we went to Tokyo University of Art at that time he was still a graduate student, and later he became the head of the Tokyo University of Art. But he to Liling how to evaluate our glaze under multicoloured? The underglaze color of Liling is something the Japanese can't do to this day. So I think, we have this wealth is too precious, but we need to strengthen the propaganda. Our things cannot be put together with the painting of jingdezhen. His color contrast is too strong.  We are fully showing the elegance and impliedness of our things. Moreover, we use ink lines to draw the lines, and when we come back to fire the colors under the glaze, it will have the same texture as the real flowers, instead of the black lines of fine brushwork. The volatilization of our ink line is the traditional Chinese painting, which is also the creation of color under glaze. Therefore, I think we should fully protect the colorful heritage under the glaze and enrich it from generation to generation.

I will stop there, thank you!

Fu weijie: zhang teacher is our ceramic history dictionary, every time listen to zhang teacher speak can be inspired by a lot of new, get a lot of new knowledge. Liling these 70 years of progress is very big, especially the state - owned enterprises are very brilliant. Qunli, Provincial Ceramic Research Institute and Guoguang are the most outstanding enterprises in the ceramic industry. Mr.  Liu really knows this better.  I would like you to listen to Mr.  Liu's introduction of Liling in those days.

Liu peijin: Liling has made a great contribution to the export of ceramics.  Today's topic, especially the mayor's participation in this seminar, is also the first time in our museum. In the past, local mayors went away just after the opening ceremony and did not attend the seminar, which was very important.

First, over the past 70 years, the daily-use porcelain of Liling has made brilliant contributions, and its contribution degree and reputation are higher than that of Jingdezhen daily-use porcelain. Second, the art porcelain in Liling has reached a certain height, no less than Jingdezhen, and in some respects better. Third, the ceramics of Liling should stick to the daily use porcelain as the main body and develop in an all-round way, including high-tech.

In the last century, I tube ceramic export from 60 s to the late eighty s, liling ceramic was called hunan ceramic, due to various aspects, leadership attaches great importance to the especially the attention of the researchers, department production seriously, variety structure, physical quality, decoration and supporting the overall picture have reached a very high level, Liling porcelain entered the European and American markets, particularly in the United States, Guoguang, Yongsheng entered the department store gift department of the United States, foreign department store ceramics has 5 classes, the highest is gift department, the 2nd is daily necessities of home affairs, the 2nd is rough spinning. It has been placed on the counter of the gift department of American department stores and has become the first choice of gifts for American young people to get married. Because the United States also receive gifts for marriage, people are different from us, how do they send? You get $50, he gets a few dozen dollars and orders one to be delivered to his home. As a result, Liling's daily porcelain has entered the most upscale market in the United States and become the first choice for gifts.

Become the household important article of white-collar class. How do white-collar workers use this ceramic? Hospitality of a certain level of guests out to use, after using the hand wash clean displayed there as a representative of family level. So the daily porcelain of Liling has become a symbol of cultural accomplishment of a white collar family. Home ceramics is high cultural accomplishment, is to understand art, has played such a role.

Because Liling porcelain has reached such a good level, our Tianshan company in the United States has become the model of ceramic companies operating in the United States. What does it mean? A person has no face, see you do not do, do the good or bad. Whether a company is famous depends on the quality of its products. In the last century, the daily-use porcelain of Liling created brilliant achievements and became the representative of Chinese ceramics, representing the level of Chinese ceramics.

This time I saw Liling art ceramics, the innovation reached a new height, no less than Jingdezhen. This is not to disparage Jingdezhen, the main body of Jingdezhen ceramic art is still the first in the country, is unshakable. But from its innovative reform, innovation quality level, is not very happy or jubilant. I have a very close relationship with Jingdezhen.  I once talked to their mayor about how the five horses you made for daily porcelain were separated and the weeds you destroyed for daily porcelain were overgrown. Up to now, the big situation of overgrown weeds has not been reversed.

I was very happy to see these artistic porcelain today. I am in charge of the artistic quality of ceramics. After I saw it today, I have three general concepts:

One is the overall artistic porcelain, whether in the shape of reforms, pictures, etc. , the first characteristic is to cater to or suitable for the practical value of the shape of evolution, the vitality of any commodity has its use value, like you, want to use your life, you are not using value without you, like a person, just looking for you, you don't have the ability to no one for you. So this time, I see that the changes of artistic porcelain apply to the changes of the shape of the application, the shape of the vessel has reform, the picture has reform, especially the original dark color, more brilliant, elegant degree is not enough, now is elegant and colorful combination is very good.

2 it is the change that configuration adornment got used to ceramic hobby. From the decoration of the picture is not completely the old face of the past big red, big green, big peony, now there are a lot of new faces can often see. Now the art ceramics from the painting ceramics, is no longer the last century before the 1960s and 1970s, has reached a new height, the new height has what characteristics? Not only the mountain is on the line, the landscape should have levels, there should be changes, a look at the layers of mountains, see clearly, this has been achieved. The new level of painting, animal painting, bird painting, there are emotional movement and mutual communication, look at Xiaoling's painting, I said two birds seem to be in love, you two no, stare, you two no, I like who, who do you like. There are two people in love, and there is a third person's interference and disruption. This is the new level of painting to reach a human phenomenon.

Thirdly, the most important change of porcelain for daily use and artistic porcelain is to keep up with the change of shape, and its core is the change of cultural subject. In different times, the subject of the culture is changed, all changes are changes of the subject, you can adapt to it. For example, it is not just a matter of doing a good job in the past, but also a matter of having a global perspective.  In order to build a community with a shared future for mankind, the structure has been enlarged, and a macro one will emerge. The main task of our country is very simple and clear -- stay true to our original aspiration and keep our mission firmly in mind. This is the subject of culture.  In the past it was simply to serve the people.  Now there is a big change on the macro level. The use value of pottery and porcelain depends on the change according to society so, how can satisfy the requirement of all respects.

After I saw it, I was very excited.  The changes were particularly outstanding and in line with the requirements of The Times, not staying in Jingdezhen. Now quite a few people in Jingdezhen, including middle-aged people, are still stuck in a place where they don't know anything about corruption, and they still complain about it.  They say that no one is selling our products in the fight against corruption.  That is polar consumption, not normal consumption. The people who give gifts do not understand, the people who receive gifts do not understand, the master is famous to buy a send, the master is valuable, not the master is not valuable. If the object of gift selection is not limited to the master, really choose high artistic level, good artistic level. So we really for the country to make a solid contribution to teach him to be among the classics of the seventy years, seventy years to participate in the exhibition. Leave a good textbook for future generations.

Daily porcelain is the main part of ceramics. At no time can lack of daily porcelain, weaken daily porcelain. What worries me most about our country right now is breaking the law. Our current environmental governance is indiscriminate, regardless of whether the people need it or not.  We shut down the environment at the moment of smoke and stop at the moment of smoke.  This is not environmental governance; it depends on the people's needs. I think Tangshan shut down more than a hundred pottery factories. That is why I have to be careful: under the leadership of our Communist Party, how will we explain to the people that they will run out of food in the future? At that point, what will happen to China's over one billion people? We must distinguish between the needs of the people, even if we pollute the environment. Now some places to deal with mud, water and so on, but also to stop. Therefore, in my opinion, the only ceramic development in Liling should be dominated by daily-use porcelain. On the basis of daily porcelain as the main body, to restore the glory of the last century, to enter the United States, developed countries, our country's efficient ceramics, can become the national porcelain.

Engage in ceramics for several decades, hope that all aspects of ceramics pay attention to, strive for the best standard ceramics. Once quoting the demand for ceramics in the future, to build a community of human destiny, or to use ceramics to speak, this is the most bright signboard, signboard lost, after the Chinese nation many have no carrier. Hope all levels of leadership should take ceramics seriously so.

Thank you.

Fu Weijie: I divided Liu and Zhang into a type, this year is the 70th anniversary of the founding of new China, I know these two old gentlemen have the deepest feelings for our ceramics. So they talked about the topic of ceramics, especially Liling ceramics in the past seventy years of summary. And I also got a new information from their speech, in 1974, the big department stores in the United States had Qunli Ceramics Factory ceramics. Originally I do not know, after arriving from me ceramic association, it is to say China's ceramic all the time is the ground spreads goods, at that time a few enterprises entered Wal-Mart supermarket, carrefour supermarket to feel very great, actually Liling ceramic reached the state that is comparable with foreign famous brand product in 70 time. This is the pride of our Liling. Today, the daily porcelain in Liling may not have caught up with the situation at that time, the development of these years is not very good. From what I go look, the original state-owned enterprise closed down, a lot of new enterprises do mark cup more, basically the same with minor differences. Therefore, as general manager liu just said, in the future, liling ceramics will still take daily porcelain as the main body and develop in an all-round way. I also quite agree with this point of view, Liling is one of the most important producing areas for daily use ceramics, so today many of our artists are actually from state-owned enterprises, from research institutes. They all grew up standing on the shoulders of the older generation. So do not forget our roots, do not forget our daily porcelain, while making our own art porcelain, support the daily porcelain development of Liling.

Today, our mayor is also here to think carefully about the speech of the two old-timers.

Lv Xiaozhuang: I don't know much about Liling porcelain.  I've rarely been to Liling.  Until now, I've been there 3-4 times at most. But Liling gave me the impression of gold. I'm an engineering student, not an art student. So after I graduated, I went to study in a porcelain area one by one, but I did not go to Liling, went to Jingdezhen first, and then to Shandong. After the Cultural Revolution, I didn't know anything about China's ceramic production, because after ten years in the countryside, I was so strange to return to the city after ten years that I was afraid to even cross the road. So each porcelain area to understand, from south to north, starting from Guangdong finally arrived in Liling. When I arrived in Liling, what was the most famous? Gold. The country's most famous gold is Liling, so buy the best gold to buy in Liling. Prove that this gold propaganda is very strong, under the glaze colorful propaganda is not enough. So when I came to Hunan, one was Changsha Kiln and the other was gold. And the director of the institute is very famous, he and the director of the Shandong Institute, Li Huiji, how many talents they have cultivated and contributed a lot to the country. This time saw the Liling exhibition is very excited, Liling has a successor. This time, not only the older generation came to the exhibition, but also the fourth generation of grandparents, fathers, children and grandchildren, so it was very rich, proving that Liling has a successor.

What are the benefits of this underglaze color? In my own impression, I do not understand the art, but I contact more. I think one is the underglaze of Liling colorful, the other is celadon. These two products are very easy to accept. Why is that? It is very elegant and the celadon is very pleasing to the eye. When you come home after a long day at work and look at these things, your mind immediately calms down. So it feels very comfortable. So I think under the glaze multicoloured must show their own characteristics, not with other porcelain, Jingdezhen sells well, must adhere to their own characteristics. The variety of styles in this exhibition is also exciting. I heard from a little girl today that Liling has also set up a ceramic college to cultivate talents and prove that the underglaze multicolored porcelain can be passed on from generation to generation.

Suggest a little opinion, each person does own work must have own characteristic, do not copy others, say that this sells well to do this, do not like this. For example, I don't know Master Peng Ling at all.  In the second exhibition of master ceramics, I saw that his characteristics were very obvious, so I remembered him. After each exhibition, I can see that this is Peng Ling's, he has his own characteristics. So I think everyone engaged in creation, must play their own characteristics, do not imitate others.

In addition, the underglaze colorful Liling must be propaganda, propaganda is not enough now. Whether it's on TV or something else, take every opportunity to promote it. In fact, this product is a very good product, but many people do not know, do not understand. So I think we must vigorously promote, tour exhibition is very good, in all parts of the country to promote, people will understand you, understand what the benefits of your products.

That's all for me, thank you!

Fu Weijie: Liling is really the most famous is the goldwater, until now the goldwater of Liling is also the best. A few years ago, I met an incident when Fluor told me that it wanted to buy the gold water of Hunan Ceramics Research Institute.  Later, I thought to myself, this is China's precious, why let an American company buy it? I didn't do that. Later I heard that he was bought out by another company. That is to say, the foreign countries also know that our Hunan Jinshui is the best, better than the United States Fluor. Teacher Li also mentioned something that we should pay attention to is the publicity.  They plan to travel to ten cities for the exhibition.  Maybe this is an attempt and we will continue to do so in the future. Because Dehua was not well known to the whole country and Beijing people in the past, it was first exhibited in Beijing in 1998 or 1997, and then began to tour the major cities. Twenty years earlier than Liling. So I think the tour exhibition is a good way to promote the underglaze and daily use of Liling porcelain.

Tang Kemei: First of all, I would like to extend my sincere congratulations on the grand opening of the national exhibition of Liling Official Kiln Works on the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. On January 20th this year, I was invited by Beijing Huaxia Museum and went to Liling, mainly to organize products for the tour exhibition of red kiln on the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Because I've been to Hunan several times, but this is the first time I've been to Liling. To Liling gave me a few very deep impression:

First, the four groups, the secretary and deputy secretaries of the party, the mayor and deputy mayors of the government, the director of the people's congress, and the chairman of the CPPCC, all supported and personally participated in the exhibition. It provides us with very good conditions. Last but not least, there was a very grand event, attended by more than four groups.  Mayor Dong also specially attended the opening ceremony today. All work and all artistic creation should be supported by leaders.  Only with the support of leaders can our work be carried out smoothly and succeed.

Secondly, when I got there, I felt that the daily, industrial and electric porcelain in Liling were well developed, and it accounted for a large share in the export market. Because my concept of numbers is very poor, but there is a large share of one. Because after I came to the porcelain area, the whole art team was very stable, unlike the current art market is not good, and everyone is very worried. But the weather there is very peaceful. Because some ceramic art designers also have small industrial porcelain enterprises, so he diversified business, life is very stable.

Thirdly, I did not have much contact with Liling porcelain in the past, which left me the impression that the colors were relatively thin, simple and not harmonious enough. But after I came to Liling this time, I found several studios to visit their museums, from the earliest days of the founding of the People's Republic of China to the ceramic exhibitions in the past few decades, which impressed me a lot.  Liling has indeed done a good job in the inheritance of thousands of years. In addition, each generation of ceramic works reflect the characteristics of an era, a era of the height of human creation.

But the deepest feeling is that today's ceramic people are not only very active in their creation, but also very united. The work gives me the feeling that it has reached the height of an era, the under-glaze multicolor is a height of the era of ceramic art, which can represent the level of multicolor ceramics in China today. Because its ceramics not only pay attention to the exquisite modeling, but also the texture of porcelain, process characteristics are very good performance. In addition, plastic arts have design, design ideas and design ability. He has been designed, so I think his works, first of all, have artistic conception, emotional appeal, both artistic and technological. Hierarchy is very rich, each piece of excellent works of literature and art is a pen and ink, not rigid, hierarchy, pen and ink, although looks like red and green, but in hue, lightness has changed a lot, so he is very active in the artistic form, give I feel every piece of works are vivid, lively, energetic, is elegant, is a delicate, very beautiful. But I think, why can't you see it from Beijing? When I saw Xiaoling, I asked if you were a master of Chinese arts and crafts. He said no, I said why? He said I didn't show. He said because there are a few old comrades in front, I think the style is particularly high. But I think it is very important that no matter the plane paintings, no matter the utensils or today's tea sets, they have been carefully designed to a high degree of art. No matter what arts and crafts are engaged in, we should pay attention to design.  In China's eight thousand years of artistic tradition, the ancients put special emphasis on design.  It seems that Chinese people do not know how to design recently, so they should introduce design theories from abroad. I think, in Liling this point is very prominent.

In addition, during my work in Liling, I found an association of women ceramic makers. The Ceramic Women's Association was very active and of a very high standard. But they didn't publicize it, so I said, you have to go to Beijing, you have to go to the Great Hall of the People, you have to go to the exhibition halls in Beijing. Beijingers love art very much.  Beijingers have the ability to appreciate art.  If they take a fancy to it, it will become popular. I think it's great to be able to go on tour now.

Fourth, I went to a ceramic valley and felt very excited. The elements of the ceramic ware use modern design concepts and techniques to design a whole group of very beautiful buildings, which are practical, which are filled with offices. I live in Liling personally embodied once, also ate the meal there. When I took these photos and sent them to my friends, they said, "Where is this?"I said Liling, he said Liling was somewhere. To publicize, my circle of friends they are engaged in culture at least, some still do not know Liling, so to publicize well. I think it's a bit of a pity that something so good is hidden there more than a thousand kilometers away. Now I feel very fortunate, to continue to develop. In addition, several people can exhibit, can be a group exhibition. The architecture of Porcelain Valley is very modern and beautiful, but it is excavated and developed from the porcelain elements.

Fifth, after I went to the ceramic valley, the ethnic architecture and local dialect of Hunan Liling, the taste of food is very good when walking in the street, Liling still maintains a strong local accent, the folk houses and restaurants of Liling, which is non-material culture, there is culture, there is also art part, each other reflect. The whole Liling nation, modern, innovative things are going very well. I think the future will go better, the leadership attaches great importance to.

I suggest:

First, we should put state-level funds to good use. The national fund has several hundred million yuan every year, and it will end on June 20th this year.  Your touring exhibition will allow five cities to apply for several million yuan for this exhibition, and there will be more opportunities for such exhibitions.  Therefore, we should take good care of the national cultural fund, make good use of it, and actively apply for it. This provides us with a good publicity opportunity.

Second, the artists from the Women's Ceramics Association went to the exhibition hall of the All-China Women's Federation for an exhibition.  The All-China Women's Federation was powerful, powerful and full of propaganda power. Because we had an embroidery exhibition and it was very successful.  Many people brought their families and children to see it. The association of women ceramists will have relations with the women's federation.  After the association has relations with the women's federation, the women's federation will attach importance to you, women painters and women ceramists, and will publicize your group throughout the country. Because there is only one such group of women artists and craftsmen, and no other group has been found.

Huang Xiaoling: There are national ones. All the masters of Liling came to this exhibition, not just the female ceramists. Because I initiated it, the document approved by the government was from Hunan Province.

Kemei Tang: Liling is an excellent porcelain city with a history of more than two thousand years.  With the increasing openness of the country, there are many international conferences.  Should Liling strive for the national gift? I know someone who designed a tableware set for the G20 and orders kept coming in. When the foreign guests came, they took away some small chopsticks and spoons in their pockets.  They liked Chinese ceramics like this. In addition, Beijing cloisonne used to rank not so high, but now it ranks first. Why is that? It often becomes a national gift to the state of these activities designed to give gifts to foreign guests. General Secretary Xi personally reviewed all these documents, including the medal he gave to the President of Kyrgyzstan and the medal given to Russian Vladimir Putin. Therefore, I think that such beautiful ceramics are fully qualified to go to the state gift, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the State Council Affairs Administration contact. With the qualifications of national gifts, there will be a higher publicity, more powerful materials. So, in this respect, I think we should do a good job.

Third, we should train young people well. During my time in Liling, when I look at these works, there is no qualification of the younger generation, only the province master above can be selected, but the young people also enthusiastically participate. I think it is very good, young people have the courage to come to such a venue to participate in their work, I think this spirit is very good. However, whether a porcelain can prosper and develop well ultimately depends on whether there is a level of talent. So we should pay attention to the generation of new people, to train them really in the cultivation, in the moral character, in the professional level to focus on training.

Finally, I wish this exhibition in Beijing a complete success.

    Fu weijie: teacher tang evaluated all aspects of liling, teacher tang went to liling to go less, went to a so much perception, hope to go more later. Time relation, ask the Yang teacher of people picture newspaper office to say.

Yang Yi: Sorry, I haven't been to Liling, I don't know much about ceramics. But after listening to what professor zhang and general manager liu have just said, I think it is very necessary for the people's pictorial newspaper to organize a special newspaper with the secretary general of China ceramic technology society to come to Liling. This is my attitude, because I really do not know Liling, dare not say more, also dare not say anything.

Chen Liehan: Respected Mr.  Fu, Mayor Dong, Respected Mr.  Zhang Shouzhi, Ms.  Tang Kemei, and Ms.  Lv Xiaozhuang. I have a lot of feelings with Liling, I have been to Liling many times. First of all, I want to thank Liling, because I spent three months in Liling.  From April to June 2016, I did several works there. "Rich and rich white head" "beaming", where the painting also do not charge me a little cost, after the painting work all let me take away. In addition, I also like Liling ceramics very much, my home utensils are all Liling porcelain, also collect the works of Chen Zhongyi teacher, Peng Ling teacher and others, because Peng Ling sat across from me and bought his things a few years ago. Because I engage in professional, in Liling also stayed for a period of time, Liling to have a little feeling, take this opportunity to say a little my understanding.

From a professional point of view, I think Liling ceramic technology is very complex, more complex than Jingdezhen. Where is it reflected?First, the firing temperature is very high, 1400 degrees, but also burn three times, the first plastic burning, the second high temperature burning, the third medium temperature and burning again, the process is particularly complex. Second, there is one characteristic, it is not easy to deform, the temperature is so high, it is difficult to hold the bottle mouth, so Liling adopted many methods, put a cup to burn, when burning big bottles put a thing on the top of the bottle, there are many methods.

I used to paint blue and white in Jingdezhen, and when I arrived in Liling, I felt that the drawing and water division of Liling was even more difficult to draw than blue and white porcelain, and the effect was even better. Why is it good?In my opinion, Liling porcelain is drawn with ink and turpine. After the line is drawn, the water will not flow out.  I think this technique is very good. In addition, after burning out the line is the embryo color of the line, particularly unique. Chinese painting is ink line, in Liling most of the white line, I think this is its craft beauty. I often say a word, we the people in Beijing or the when the teacher at the university of us, we are often sniffy, we really came to the base, the region is painted porcelain, really can not do without the workers, cannot leave the technical workers, they are all very tall and straight lines, their points of water than we smooth, rich layers, very uniform.

In 2016, I painted porcelain and porcelain board in Liling, putting the board on top of a pot, and then using the walk of the pot to draw lines and divide water. I feel this method is very good, and the points are very smooth. We have never thought of such planar things in Jingdezhen for so many years. The effect of the painting is straight and straight, smooth and even, the Feng Shui is even, the level changes are very rich, and the colors are very uniform.

One of the most important characteristics of Liling porcelain, which is advocated by teacher Zhang, is the light color of Liling porcelain, which is also very important. Liling porcelain, including the finished products today, I think the good works should be reflected in the light color of Bosh, if the color is too rich and too fancy, it does not have the contemporary ceramic characteristics of Liling porcelain.

Liling ceramic material is also very characteristic, really say ceramic thin as paper, white as jade, bright as jade, sound like chime, these four characteristics used to describe Liling porcelain is very appropriate, really thin as paper, jing-dezhen thin porcelain with grouting to do, I think do not do as good as Liling. In particular, Liling has a feature, Ming Ruyu. Still have the transparency of Liling porcelain is extremely high, the ceramics of many places use ceramic to do lampshade, lamps and lanterns, Liling porcelain is the most appropriate. In addition, I think Liling porcelain is as warm and moist as jade, which is in line with this feeling.

Liling porcelain is characterized by its fine materials and rich materials, with more than 100 kinds and a riot of colors. Now many people in Jingdezhen are painting underglaze colors. Many of the pigments were bought from Liling and used in the underglaze colors of Jingdezhen.

In terms of form, Liling ceramics and Chinese painting have the same origin, but it does not copy the composition and expression form of Chinese painting. But according to the ceramic modeling three-dimensional, three-dimensional space for decoration, different parts of the decoration of different content patterns, some in terms of decorative composition and form of expression will have different choices according to the modeling, see these works see out. Some of them use decorative painting techniques. Just now I saw that teacher Zhou Yijun's painting is very good. There are also works in the form of traditional Chinese painting, which accounts for a large proportion in Liling porcelain. It can also be used for the expression of more delicate Chinese paintings, such as Fu Demao's landscape paintings. His forms of expression are particularly numerous and rich, which can not be achieved in other producing areas. Because it is determined by the quantity of industry and technology.

Collect these above beautiful craft, material and form to get a, Liling ceramic art, the pursuit of diverse styles, humanistic artistic conception is very good.

Finally with Liling ceramics exhibition organizer to make a few suggestions, I and tsinghua dollars wang yaoling teacher to see the exhibition, he said I want to go to Liling painting porcelain, I said can, recommend a factory to you, but she said, Liling modelling is too single, do not like. I said you can draw the picture by yourself, and then I will look for a place in Beijing to turn over the mold and inject good slurry to draw, I think the shape should be a little more diverse.

In addition, I noticed in Liling that some manufacturers in Jingdezhen asked people to pull the embryos and then burn them and draw them back. I think Huang Xiaoling has done this. This form can be taken. It's easier to have a variety of forms by pulling the germ, because you can't always change a mold by grouting, which is very expensive. I have been thinking, Liling soil can pull embryo, embryo?

Huang Xiaoling: Yes.

Chen Liehan: Yes. Modeling or a little more rich. In addition, I talked with Chen Yanglong many times in the early years and got an inspiration from him. He believed that the creation of Liling ceramics should come from life and should be painted from life, which originated from life and was higher than life. But what I saw in Liling, many people were enlarging Chinese paintings and putting them on porcelain. It is possible to produce and learn as a commodity, but if you go to the exhibition of Liling porcelain or Liling, and see a large area copied from Chinese painting, it is not appropriate. Today, before the opening of the exhibition, I communicated with several authors and directly pointed out their existing problems. I like some works very much. I asked you to modify them according to my suggestions and draw them again after modification.

Look at the national situation in the context of the current economic situation. A year or two before I went to school as a teacher, I was traveling around the producing areas, and I saw a trend. They were all making porcelain for daily use, and a lot of the economy was shifting to porcelain for daily use. It used to be that many masters looked down on porcelain for daily use, but now it is said that a cup of Longquan can be sold for 3,000 yuan, and a pot can be sold for 8,000 or 9,000 yuan, so I don't think it is necessary to say that there is something worse in making tea sets. Before I went to Huang Xiaoling's home, his practice is so prosperous, so multi-functional, that time was ten years ago. But the current situation is not like this. We are very clear that we have to face the reality and move with The Times. Can you still sell it in Beijing now? Our company has closed the art museum, the original art museum more than 1000 square meters of the original sales of more than 10,000, last year before the closure, a year's turnover is less than 50 or 60 thousand. Let's face it, what am I saying? To innovate, to do porcelain for daily use. Liling porcelain made of teacup or teapot, it can be said that must sell the first technology, because you do very thin, and there are so many forms of expression. Speaking of, Mr. Zhang just said that he likes Longquan very much, I have been doing it in Longquan for eight years, but also because I like it, so I do it unremittingly. Do it there, one because I like the elegance; Second, Longquan celadon is popular in the market, especially in Shanghai. Now I make hundreds of things every year, but I can always find customers in Shanghai and Guangzhou to sell them.

The artistic content of Liling has been very good, the daily porcelain of Hualian is very good, why so good? Thank Mr. Fu for letting me participate in two national gift competitions, one from Xinjiang and the other from Inner Mongolia. Hualian's daily porcelain is very good and very big. There is a famous restaurant in Beijing named Daliu Huaxia Restaurant. I took Daliu to Hunan Hualian to buy its daily porcelain. There are many styles and various glaze colors. Daily-use porcelain in Liling used to be very well made, especially Hunan stonewares, which were exported to China on a large scale when I first came to China. At that time, a large number of stonewares from Hunan were imported from the Tianshan Mountains of the United States. Hualian also had several factories that were very good at making household porcelain, including teachers from Tsinghua Fine Arts Academy who came to Liling to help with the design. Many artists present here know that artists should turn their energy to doing some daily-used porcelain, so as to truly realize the daily-used art porcelain and the artistic daily-used porcelain.

Fu Weijie: Mr. Chen Liehan Chen's speech was very pertinent, and he provided another Angle, from the point of view of the artist to do an analysis of Liling porcelain, and put forward a very pertinent opinion, first praised the advantages of Liling porcelain, and put forward some suggestions for it. For example, single modeling, it also said, is because of the shortcomings caused by grouting. I think this is the sequela caused by mass production after liberation. Some documents of the Ministry of Light Industry of Ceramics have been turned over. At that time, it was advocated grouting, and it was thought that grouting was an innovation that could produce large scale. Later, when Mr. Zhang went to every producing area, he always advocated that art porcelain should be hand-pulled. Indeed, the hand-pulled porcelain in Liling has not been done very well. Maybe he should try to find out whether the raw materials in Liling can be hand-pulled, so as to make his works more alive, more diverse and more vitality. In addition to the copy of the picture, this point in the second session of the Liling master evaluation, the landscape painting people almost did not review, there were a few very old Liling artists, Liling and Jingdezhen landscape painting almost did not review. Some of them questioned me about why I didn't make a comment. I said that after thinking about it carefully, I found that almost all the landscape paintings had been wiped out, just because I felt familiar with landscape paintings. Teacher Chen just mentioned that we should go to sketch. Hunan province is a particularly beautiful scenery, you can draw the landscape of Hunan, you can use the way to improve their art value. In addition, I also mentioned what should be done in the current market situation, Liling, and I think the three points are very pertinent. It is rare to use their own experience to make this statement.

Huang Zhong: I am not engaged in ceramics, which is also a kind of fate. Professors Zhang and Lv are my guides. After they led me into ceramics, I became more and more interested in them. It was a great pleasure in my later years. I attended every exhibition and learned a lot.

From the perspective of aesthetics, I would like to tell you what I think. The Chinese Oriental art is called subtlety, while Lao Tzu's Daodejing says it is "bland and tasteless". His poem is light to say vernaculars, which have four sentences, Meng Haoran to the farmer friend's home to eat, open Xuan surface garden, wine words Sang Ma. To the double ninth day, but also to the chrysanthemum. They speak in the vernacular, unlike some poets who use a lot of allusions. Therefore, "light and tasteless" is in line with Oriental aesthetics.

From the ceramic will tell, one in longquan, one is Liling most accord with "light tasteless". No matter how the future development of Liling porcelain, its soul, root "light tasteless", elegant, quietly elegant can not be lost, no matter how to create, shape, color, "light tasteless" is the soul. Even if the peony is such a showy flower, it should be added a word, Leng Yan, cold, cold color. Because the cool color can reflect the realm of tea. From what I've seen today, all the works in the exhibition are elegant and cool in color, but also in line with poetry and Zen.

I have a suggestion. Just now when I read Zhou Yijun's works, I made some innovations in personalization. Because I was the first time to see the Liling porcelain performance figure painting performance so good. Therefore, I think that the use of formal brushwork to express the figure painting has a very high achievement, the Tang Dynasty when the style of Wu belt to express the figure painting lines, the beauty of the lines reached the highest level. Can you use the brushwork to show the figure painting, you can try it, the painting will be very beautiful, because its lines finally although there is no ink line, but the line is also seen.

Zhou Yijun: You can also have ink lines.

Huang Zhong: I don't understand. These figure paintings are very difficult to represent. They can be used as a reference.

I'm here to study today, so that's all.

Fu weijie: the first time I met teacher huang Zhong, I don't know what he does. Anyway, he is a scholar. He from a literati's point of view evaluation Liling ceramics quietly elegant, and he suggested that the future still want to take this quietly elegant road. I think this is a common aesthetic interest of the literati in the world. I hope these things can be elegant and noble. He pointed out peony in particular, peony is originally a national flower, many people painted it very bright, but teacher Huang Zhong hoped the peony is also cool color.

Yang Zipeng: too gorgeous into the back, can not become the back, to the picture.

Fu Weijie: Now some people wear clothes on the back.

Huang Zhong: Zen pays attention to the opposite of cold and rich and colorful, too rich and colorful will produce desire, Zen in the cold color.

Fu Weijie: liling artists can also present the teacher's speech inspired from huang, especially when he mentioned Zhou Yijun teacher's work, I watched carelessly, today I also feel Zhou Yijun teacher's work has changed a lot, but also a process of innovation, the performance of the characters and the bottle that the adornment of a circle, is also a kind of innovation. Last time the third session of the evaluation of the master, Huang Yijian is also refreshing, the performance of western Hunan amoral style, are Liling more innovative works.

Yang Zipeng: thank the friend of liling, thank so this batch of personage. Zhao told me to have this activity, I said that must go to participate in, as always the emotion, this does not say.

Today's theme is the Revitalization and Development Seminar. First of all, I agree with Mr. Zhang that artistic porcelain should focus on the development of daily use. Not to say that art porcelain must be used for daily use, but the eyes should be focused on the universality of daily application and the good experience in the process of daily application, which is to realize the people's pursuit of a better and better life, a kind of satisfaction, is also a guide, is also a sense of self. Especially these years of market changes will feel, just a teacher said that the buy do not understand, of course, this is not normal. If Chinese people above middle and high grade can get enough to meet the needs of ceramic culture, what kind of state will it be? I remember Mr. Zhang several of them in Shanghai Han Guang porcelain, Liling Han light beneficiaries. In a big hall in Shanghai, four designers came in an endless stream, signed and sold continuously, and each box of a set of tea set 10,000 yuan. Compared with today, the production level at that time should be said to be not much now.

Zhang Shouzhi: Liling high white underglaze color a tea set of 15 pieces, the collector of 22,000, 20 years ago, lined up, made 400 sets, and robbed all. At that time, an American wanted to order 2000 sets of 22 thousand, and finally only gave him 30 sets, no way to order. We also acquired some bone China ceilings from Tangshan. This one is 2,000 sets, that one is more than 5,000 sets. In total, we have 10,000 sets. In recent years, you Liling Jinhua company is an entrepreneur, he can not paint, but he is an entrepreneur is very important, for Zhongnanhai painted a set of tableware, the world's tableware can not reach that level, yellow peony. The last time he came to Beijing, he got me a small rice bowl, which was painted by Liling porcelain artists in his company. It was amazing, which is beyond the reach of the whole world today. This shows that Liling underglaze color is today's Liling people, and maybe some of you women here have participated in the production of that tableware set, which was specially made for Zhongnanhai by the secretary of Hunan Provincial Party Committee, which is really different. So I say, Liling underglaze color strength is too good.

Yang Zipeng: Mayor Dong Wei is here today. I think his speech and the leaders of the municipal Party committee and municipal government have been able to understand and publicize the local characteristics in this way. This is a good point. He told me, do you know the meaning of the two characters Liling?I think you got that. Is the wine koji, wine raw materials, wine jar, is the place of wine production, and then wine and ceramics have what kind of image and connection, so you can not remember the publicity? We also talked about the left-handed generals, fire crackers, glass and others, especially emphasizing the great and profound influence that Chairman Mao had brought to Hunan and Liling. Today he was not allowed to speak freely, he did not have time to speak freely, but we have learned that the story carefully researched, made up, told and widely spread, even in the most backward places there is a very beautiful story and enough to drive the story, even in the most famous places, well told, no profound meaning, the story is a mere formality. So, there are so many stories in China's ceramic industry.

There are so many stories in Hunan and Liling, but most of them have not been deeply explored, and the storytellers do not know what the profound meaning of the story is, who to tell it to, and how to tell it. At the G20 summit or at One Belt And One Road? Or the 70th anniversary of the founding of the PRC? Or a hundred years? Or what?What story is told when and what is the plot? Who in particular are we talking about? We have too much work to do in this regard, but we are far from finished. Mr. Zhang's belly is full of stories, as long as you give him time, he will tell you, this is a sense of responsibility, a sense of mission, a sense of responsibility, a ceramic people should have the style. Let Mr. Lv talk about the raw materials of ceramics. He said that he did not engage in art and that the raw materials were not connected with art? Raw materials at least have color, color is culture. Without further ado, they have the responsibility. But they seldom tell you these things, because some people are far from understanding this matter, that is Mr. Zhang, it has nothing to do with me. But today, Mayor Dong said Liling. Liling side is a very decent wine jar, there are fluctuations in the wine. There were harvested ears of wheat, harvested beans, and containers containing wheat and beans. In those days, besides pottery, there were also bronze, ceramics evolved from pottery, and so on. People who listened to it would not associate with it? And if these things are told to children, they will leave a deep and beautiful memory from childhood, leaving a historical mission and responsibility.

We come here today, the mayor's speech to be educated, to learn the story, not the story itself, is the culture, Chinese culture. Chinese culture is extensive and profound, just say aesthetics this piece, the ancients went to drink, Meng Haoran, he said beautiful. The artistic conception and beauty contained in the ordinary half hour will remain in people's memory forever, and it has become at least one of the best among the ten Chinese poems, but the ordinary vernacular poetry is just as good. We have to have a sense of responsibility, a sense of mission, to tell the story in a variety of ways. Teacher Zhang that year because of the museum of art, once had the idea to take here show, Liling, Hunan, later to active the dragon, dragon active people have died, but his artistic style and handed down are also, here to give him an exhibition, teacher Zhang to design something in person, as in the same period. Is this an advertisement for Chen Yanglong?Made by Chen Yanglong, designed by Zhang Shouzhi, signed by the official, isn't this telling a story? Who is Chen Yanglong?  How could he be like this? Where is he from? When you don't hear a story, you think of a story. Let's talk about women artists here. Finally, who is Huang Xiaoling? Let's look at her works and see her achievements. Chen Yanglong's exhibition is enough to impress the head of our National Museum of Art, he came here to see, here to promote. The story is touching the heart, the heart is a kind of power. Today we talked about a lot of exhibition things, that thing may have broken, but the force of that thing is always here to push. You think method to be able to apply practical technology moderately to go up to daily porcelain, the lampshade that you do is absolutely good, because thin appear, strong easily hit not bad, this is not to be done, but be accomplished very hard. Here there is science and technology, science and technology has science and technology, only in our understanding, how to learn, how to use, how to use good, let him provide a good thing for people's pursuit, but also leave something, if it can be engraved on the better things, the forming process can be engraved.

Just now the host of the opening ceremony said that the view of Mr. Zhang is a little different, because he said Jingdezhen first. Jingdezhen is the number one city in China. But there are too many things in Jingdezhen that we can't keep up with others. We have done a lot of things in Jingdezhen, and we are still talking about them today. However, the monument that Jingdezhen set up in the first year of Jingde, Zhenzong of Song Dynasty, has been set up without being demolished by later generations. In 1004, Song Zhenzong said, "Let's call this place Jingde. Use my year number. He just changed the year number to Jingde. Why is that? Because its porcelain was used by the emperor. At that time, when there were pockmarks on the bottom of the bowl, it was called hemp (sound), which could not be used.

This is a good thing for the Chinese people. The ceramic industry has improved and Jingdezhen has benefited. But we should not think narrowly that Jingdezhen is the only place. But we don't have to tell our old friends in Jingdezhen that you are wrong. I won't argue with them about these details. However, Jingdezhen has improved a lot in the course of reform and opening up over the years, and the education it has received should be profound. Get over yourself, don't be complacent, this is one aspect, but history, we have to dig his positive things, in the history of Chinese culture, including industrial production, for ceramics, to the technology, all kinds of raw material and so on, good things too much, we discover is far from enough, publicity is not enough, especially the cultural connotation. What kind of cultural inspiration can be obtained inside, increase our cultural confidence, it can be said that ceramic culture self-confidence, are very beneficial. Hunan ceramics are not the oldest in China, but also the oldest. But many years does not mean that they can inherit the good, especially the good development. We come here today to discuss the revitalization and development of the art of underglaze multicolored, to expand it a little bit, underglaze multicolored is our main topic today, is the revitalization and development of the ceramics of liling and all aspects related to it. There are many other aspects that we can learn a lot from. In the early days, Lu Zhou Jun Kiln made only small works of art. Daily porcelain was one of them. No matter in craft, art, market behavior and actual profit, it was very big. Jun kiln a few people all do porcelain for daily use. Can investigate, why in recent years Yixing porcelain so prosperous, because he does not engage in too many big, is a small pot, in fact, not necessarily they said that so high grade, but the story of the people make up. There are friends in Taiwan or Nanyang friends, although the master pot can not sell a big price, but the conventional pot thousands, ten or twenty thousand is not too much, can not stand the love of many people. Buy do not understand, do not understand, but than do not understand more than a "too" word, a little more. At this point, thousands of people went out. And it's hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars bigger than buying a jug, and it's good for the pursuit of a good life and satisfying your needs.

Zhang Shouzhi: One topic is very important. The authors present here are all single works of art. But each of you has a studio, and there's a little booth in the studio, and there's a little booth that does something practical. Today after we had lunch, Peng Ling gave me one of her designs. She also has one stall. Remember, developing ceramics do not forget the concept of development of science and technology. Is your current kiln a gas kiln? That is not new, in the past we did not firewood kiln? Wood kilns cause pollution by destroying forests, and coal kilns cause pollution, too. In fact, Liling ceramics did not leave the scientific and technological outlook on development, but in the era of planned economy, the state-owned enterprises did not transform to export companies to exchange foreign currency. The shrinkage of Qunli Porcelain Factory's ball soil is too great, and the shrinkage of the grouted teapot is 18. 5%. Grouting out of the pot on the deformation, not deformation, how to do this teapot? Single tool forming, wheel rotation, single tool forming. In this way, liling ball soil is the world's most white, the best soil, but the shrinkage rate is big, deformation, and finally with a single knife shape, small account, in the future so pull over, and then set the mold. This is the experience of Hunan Liling Qunli Porcelain Factory alone in China's ceramic state-owned enterprises. Later, Guoguang and Yongsheng are all in this way. Liling now this technology, a state-owned enterprise transformation, Liling workers to teach this to whom?Teach the moral. Maybe you don't know until now that the small teapots in Dehua can only be made of special-shaped lotus leaves in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, which is also deformed and the shrinkage rate is too large, so it has been unable to be made into daily porcelain. Liling is the big factory sub-model workers are lost, pass this technology to dehua, Dehua will single knife forming, small pot knife in, pull over the belly, and then go out to set the mold. However, the workers in Liling passed on the technique to Dehua, and finally the molds were not plaster molds, but steel molds, which were fixed on top of them, and the shapes inside could be different. I know the technology. Where did I know it? It was passed to Yixing. Now yixing say? Yixing Taihu farmers, you go to order goods, handmade. Shandong Qufu tourist spots to do a small teapot, to one thousand, to the back of the look, I this is a single knife shape. Now Yixing secret, who do not say. How many years? Fifteen years. I know.

But this technology I told Jun kiln, Jun kiln thick mould thick glaze. I have been tutoring Lu Shan for three years. He has a white porcelain factory. The cost of a white porcelain factory is too high. To whom do you sell Henan white porcelain?Southeast Asia, Vietnam, Vietnam for sale. Henan a ten inch western food plate profit 10 cents, the rate of genuine products only 10 cents, 200 people of the factory to close, I said can not close, closed the workers will lose their jobs. How to do?I went to Dehua to buy this little machine, but I didn't buy it in Dehua, but I bought it in Yixing. When the little teapot was made, I asked the veteran worker to repair it, because it could be pressed very thin. The mouth should be like a handicraft, let the veteran workers do, the veteran workers do we can not do, the hand is not so thin, do jun kiln which can be so thin? Veteran worker does not do do not have relation, did not take an examination of go up high school, the child of two junior high school, a person is in charge of repair mouth, a person is in charge of repair bottom, entered Thailand royal palace at a drauent. Jun kiln is so thin that it went to the royal palace in Thailand and the presidential palace in Myanmar two years ago. Now these small tea sets in Henan Jun kiln are shaped by single wheel. But later I told this technology to Longquan, where the two master brothers do hand-pulled embryos, do a single piece of art, sister how to do? Sister do this mass production, downstairs to Dehua again to buy a single pole wheel, Dehua said we improved the rolling, the best is Dehua ceramic machinery to do now. Dehua is now a small tea set, made of Dehua white porcelain small tea set occupied the whole of China tea market 90%, 20 dollars a set of tea sets, has sold so cheap, do so again. Of course, this is not the direction, not let everyone sell 20 yuan, is to do with manual, semi - machine. In fact, Liling's experience was passed on to Dehua, and Dehua to the rest of the country. So you're all there now, focusing on underglaze painting, and you're not studying the current process.

But Liling do cups is the experience of space, space automation cups in Liling, now a large number of cups sold to the whole country, the national decals after export. In fact, we had a look at our own underglaze work in Liling. During the second evaluation of the aerospace masters, we introduced our experience in Liling. Almost no experts in Liling participated in the symposium, so everyone put their experience into the underglaze work. Spaceflight experience has been in Liling assembly line, now not only the whole country, maybe you do underglaze color still do not know.

Fu Weijie: Dehua's equipment Hualian bought a lot.

Zhang Shouzhi: Now space experience, the United States is 3D printing, Russia 3D printing, Chinese space is precision engraving. So many of our daily furniture patterns are aerospace precision carving, in the past few years, I put the aerospace precision carving, Beijing precision carving company delivery point: Qingdao, Hangzhou, Dongguan. These equipment has been used in the country's daily ceramic enterprises in more than 300 sets, these large daily ceramic factories do not open the mold workers, the mold workers are transferred to Yunnan, to other remote places. Has Liling used these precision carving now? I haven't been introduced to Liling. In addition, now your grouting, now the experience of space has passed the grouting process to Maozhou, grouting products burned out after taking the balance to measure the thickness of the same, the world can not do it, is the experience of space. Recently retired from aerospace, Lu Peixin, a graduate student at Tsinghua University's School of Fine Arts, is from Chaozhou. He's back now. What problems did he solve in Chaozhou? The body beam does not deform, the world will never solve. Ceramic body beam does not deform, this is the experience of space. And now the new experience, the ceramic is formed, he does not trim the embryo before the plastic burning to 1100 degrees, after 1100 degrees, the ceramic will not shrink and then trim the embryo. Just now, the secretary of Yanqi Lake Island came to see the exhibition. This year, One Belt And One Road Chaozhou sent the tea set to Diaoyutai State Guest Hall. Finally, they showed it to me. These experiences, spaceflight technology has begun to go with ceramics in the past, but these experiences may have not spread in Liling daily ceramics. In fact, this kind of experience is the earliest single knife shape in Liling.

Had it not been for Sister Fu's telling me that there was a person in Dehua who made porcelain carving, he would not have done it now and had made several automatic assembly lines. After seeing him there, his technology is completely the latest, Germany, Japan are not. You can imagine that Dehua is such a place to make porcelain carvings. After visiting this place, we were surprised that the Germans could not do it, and the Japanese could not do it, but they both surpassed it. So I said it was great. I finally see this person's scientific research institutions, poor house, after entering the completely is before the liberation of the broken workshop, go to the plant to leak rain, to the last iron gate, the mobile phone has no signal. The last few people who do scientific research are all over there, where? No one from Fukien. They're all from Beijing. When you saw the machinery and equipment designed, I said that Fu Weijie told me. He said that I know you, Mr. Zhang. When you came to our studio, we were all young apprentices.

So we should see that the ceramic industry also depends on science and technology development. Therefore, the information is that the enterprises in liling have to go to other regions to visit, for example, liling's Chinese red, the research institute's Chinese red is blooming and bearing fruit all over the country, the pigment is wrapped red, which was later passed on to tangshan and fujian, all of which are Liling's experience.

There is a lot of Liling experience that has benefited the whole country now, we threw it away, we did not use it ourselves. You should see that all the information was originally made in Liling with the quality of exported porcelain, which was created by the skilled craftsmen of that time. These things have benefited all over the country.

Today's symposium can not only talk about underglaze color, we should not completely rely on the raw materials of Chaozhou, Chaozhou is not cheap to do, or to develop our life ceramics, art ceramics. You do not need to go abroad to Japan, Germany, in China's current several production areas, Chaozhou experience is a lot of aerospace. And Lu Peixin back in the past two days, he put the new products and got my home recently, when there is the information after, you specifically to chaozhou base, he said I was to give us light industry we are among the space to allow some of the scientific research and technology on the raw material structure, in the innovation process, some advanced things, gradually spread to our domestic ceramics,We must remember this, we have to rely on the concept of scientific and technological development, take the road of independent innovation, build China's brand ceramics, must engage in cultural industry, not just personal studio. At present, the largest ceramic culture industry in Liling is the stoneware of the Hualian Dynasty, which has formed a large scale and a batch of it has emerged. That is the cultural industry. But even the underglaze kilns in Liling, including the red official kilns that hualian is working on, are not good, because its managers are not open enough to have a look around the country, and there are a lot of new experiences in daily use ceramics that have not been absorbed. Now the oujiang that is engaged in celadon in longquan is full of Liling people, all of them from the state owned enterprises operating there.

Fu Weijie: Today's celadon is much thinner than before.

Jingdezhen Zhang is working in a tableware factory, not an engineer from the ministry of light industry research institute, but Liling people helping him do it. As a result, the daily porcelain team from Liling and the Jingdezhen porcelain factory have been lost to other parts of the country, and now they have blossomed and borne fruit there and spread to the whole of China. It doesn't matter. Whoever does well is the achievement of our republic. We learn from each other. Thirty years has passed, so I think at this point, we still need to get our life ceramics together.

Finally, take a look at the small teacup made by Jun kiln, can not believe it, it means that it is all manual, not, it is completely mechanical. Two children, a person repair bottom, a person repair pot, it is ok, entered the Thai palace. That's why I say we should rely on the scientific and technological outlook on development. As a matter of fact, you are all like this, including Chen Yanglong's son's small studio. He also has to do some work, but he can't change his mind. Mr. Zhang, your little teapot can't be sold for much. But, Liling ceramics section of time, I go to the atelier of Chen Yang long, Chen Yang long walked, a total of 16 or 17 workers see me cry, I will be able to calculate the face to say to see you still have how much money, the fund book of the whole year on the remaining three thousand dollars. What do these children say? Mr. Zhang, no money no salary we do not go, we will do Chen Yanglong's doctor, I was very moved, the Olympic Games of the small pot to Chen Yanglong's son, I said you make this small teapot, Chen Yanglong's warehouse blue painting. Teacher Zhang, you this little teapot is covered and what is, not as good as my grouting, bad to do, I said is bad to do what you do, the result to come, the pot to Chengdu exhibition of teacher Zhang, which customers buy active young dragon studio work, gave him the pot, the results at the studio is famous.

We must rely on the development view of science and technology to change our ideas.

Fu Weijie: let the mayor speak below.

Dong Wei: Time relationship, briefly. From a different perspective, what we are studying is more of your self-criticism.  Today we have both criticism and praise.  We are all Liling people. Today inspired me, produced a lot of associations. Where is the important node of fate and source? In the Yan Emperor Shen Nong's family, has continued to the later four fires, from the fire to burn the earth into ceramics an important fate. What is Emperor Yan?In Taoism, there is the Sutra of Fire Virtue and Heart, and he takes this as his virtue. After a closer look at Teacher Huang's Daodejing, I found that the cultural genes of Jingde and Dehua, which are inherited from one another, are quite remarkable. Until Mr. Zhang's scientific and technological outlook on development, in the moral system evolved our ceramic, the important fate, from fire to earth. This is a good basis for our cooperation. This is a very profound product of ceramics itself, a deep interpretation of culture, history, and the whole essence of humanity.

Second, the theme of today is revitalization and development, inheritance and development, persistence and innovation. Ultimately, what we need is an ecology. You've inspired so many ecosystems today, I've written them all down. Actually what do I think it means? In a certain basic skills, can let all the talents out of the ecological, all walks of life, to have education, to have a division of labor, to have the shape of a device, a little popular, children still have to play. I think there is still room for development, the progress of science and technology and the mutual evolution of science and technology as well as the concentration of cross-industries, just like we burn ceramics on the clay and draw pictures on it, different disciplines have produced new evolution after interweaving. If I hadn't come today, I wouldn't have known that technological innovation, aerospace technology innovation, high-tech innovation and ceramics used in daily use are so deeply connected. I think this ecology is very important.

Third, everyone talked about propaganda. There are many key points, such as the cooperation of the women's federation, the impact of national gifts, the winter Olympics, national funds and so on, which have some inspirations and suggestions for us. When we go back, we can integrate our resources and do these things well. Proposition composition, there are still a lot of things to do, these things into a detailed roadmap, divided into the schedule, one by one, the most valuable is the impact of the gift of the country this matter. If it is the standard of the national ceremony, should we do it first and gather all the valuable elements of Liling together? What can be done now and to what extent can we achieve in two or three years?

Finally, please give us more guidance and exchange, the annual ceramic exposition will continue to be held in liling in September this year, we should be chosen in the eve of National Day time to continue, once a year, I hope we can guide and exchange more. Without this atmosphere of communication, it is not easy for us to do so smoothly. After the integration of these large amounts of information, after screening, preliminary layout, there is still a lot of space in the future, welcome to all.

That's all for me, thank you!

Fu Weijie: Following what President Yang just said, President Yang and I turned out that he was the President and I was the Secretary General. I joined the association early, when I was deputy secretary general, when I really became secretary general in 2000, when President Yang came to be the president. I think one of the biggest things we have done is to start the evaluation of ceramic masters in 2002. No matter what people say these days, this is a big boost for the ceramic industry. This is summarized in the first master album. I read the preface of the first master album again a few days ago. It was written by me at that time, but President Yang's revision enhanced the meaning of the article. President Yang summed up three points for me, such as exploratory and expansion. You can turn to the book for a look. The book also contains Mr. Zhang's summary of China's ceramic industry since the founding of the People's Republic of China.

It is very regrettable that Liling did not participate in the selection of masters in the first session. But our second session of the evaluation of the master is in Liling, that to the promotion of Liling is very big, I think the people of Liling will have the experience. Later, the National Ceramics Competition was held every four years, which gave a great boost to Liling. Hope Liling sum up the meaning of two activities, determine how to do again in the future. Because our activity is done in longquan, the evaluation master four years they did twice, they have very deep experience.

Just now, Chairman Yang said that responsibility, a sense of mission and a sense of responsibility are all things that he has lived up to. No matter what others may say, I would like to say a few words on behalf of President Yang. In addition, I would like to make an advertisement. As for the equipment problem mentioned by Mr. Zhang just now, the Guangzhou exhibition will be opened on June 18th. There is a dedicated daily porcelain equipment museum, you can go to see, today's daily porcelain equipment has what progress. Especially now with the shortage of labor, especially now in the factory, the youngest age of decal workers is already in their 40s, and the people behind are hard to find. What is the solution? Is the science and technology Mr. Zhang said, 3D printing, carved out of the mold, made with the mold to embossed patterns. You can also check out these new devices, which will be launched on June 18th.

Liling did this exhibition in Beijing, we also did an exhibition in the first expo, you are welcome to see it. Is my special planning for a China ceramic art master exhibition, one hundred people, have 110 pieces of works, there are eight pieces of works is a collection of the Chinese association of ceramic, 50 s, seventy s, the first session of the national ceramics competition winning a few things, including Qian Ximing, a special thin tire of a red light, and Wang Enhuai thin body. It will be meaningful to organize it again some day and do a special show with some veteran comrades. I overlapped with Zhang at the opening ceremony of the exhibition. Why? He came up and asked me if I had a national master, I said we are all national master. And then, he actually asked, Chinese arts and crafts masters, and I said we have a dual identity here, but we are doing this exhibition for Chinese ceramic masters. I hope you will pay attention to this exhibition.

In addition, we also have an exhibition. In the ancient town of Tongguan Kiln, there is a bronze official pavilion in the large architectural complex of the Tang Dynasty built by Hualian, which is his landmark construction. Our association took down the whole brass cabinet, and took down the 50's Jianguo porcelain collected by the association. There was no such porcelain for daily use, but those samples of art porcelain. I see on other WeChat, it says, those are Jianguo porcelain. There are also samples of the technical exchange of the Zhongbao, as well as the prize-winning works of the first national ceramic competition in the late 1970s, as well as the works collected by each of the three masters, all of which were exhibited in the bronze official kiln. They said the Tongguan Pavilion was too big to fit in and hoped that the exhibition would attract national attention. It is the foundation of the ceramic association and the historical display of the new China ceramic industry.

In addition by the way, ceramic association to do things, this year we have to open art committee, in Yixing art committee of all meetings. In that year, we divided the Art Council into several parts, including the Master Alliance, the Design Center, the Women's Ceramists Association, and the Appreciation Committee. It was also a change of the term, because many of the Master Alliance were very old, and they might have to change the next term this time. I hope to get everyone's attention and actively support the work of the Art Council.

Female potters are more active these years, and the activities are quite good. In August, the meeting of female potters was held in Baiyin.

Although I am not in charge of the daily work of the ceramic association, not as the executive vice president, but the work of the art committee continue to manage, thank you!
