The development of Guang Cai

From the middle of18th century to the beginning of19th century, China porcelain sold well in the world, and the export volume of wide-colored porcelain was also expanding, and the production developed rapidly. Guang Cai porcelain was gradually separated from the firing of copper tire enamel and became an independent industry. In the forty-third year of Qianlong (1778), the guild organization-Lingsitang was established. Guang Cai products are also divided into two categories: artistic porcelain and daily-use porcelain. The painting techniques of appreciating art porcelain are mainly Chinese painting, with exquisite techniques and delicate brushwork. Most of the contents are figures and flowers, as well as stories about western scenery, figures and foreign oil paintings. Household porcelain includes bowls, plates, pots, cups, etc. The coloring method is simple, bold and full of folk decorative flavor. The production process of Guangzhou colored porcelain is divided into new sample design, line drawing, color filling, edge sealing, color fighting, furnace room and other processes. Composition design pays attention to integrity, unity and harmony, which is the biggest feature of Guang Cai. With the use of new pigments, the painted colors are richer and brighter. At the beginning of19th century, Guang Cai began to imitate China's satin brocade pattern to decorate porcelain. This technique was called "weaving the ground", and later developed into "weaving the ground with golden water", which was widely used in various porcelains, became a basis of Guang Cai's patterns and colors, and formed the characteristics of "weaving golden colored porcelain" in modern Guang Cai. Since the use of milk gold as the background color, the color has become more gorgeous, the ground is covered with gold, resplendent and magnificent, and gradually formed a unique style of "accumulating gold and accumulating jade" in Guang Cai. The masters of Lingnan School of Painting have deep roots with Guang Cai. /kloc-At the end of 0/9 and the beginning of the 20th century, Lingnan painters Ju Chao, Ju Lian, Gao Hechen actively participated in the technical research and practice. Gao Hechen also founded a painted porcelain art room and a porcelain painting factory, which further improved his skills. Liu Qunxing, a senior high school student, created 150 ceramic rocket launchers with the "Twelve Kings Strike" and won the grand prize of 1, 9 15 Panama World Expo.

The style of Guangzhou Zhijin colored porcelain is different from that of Jiangxi colored porcelain represented by Jingdezhen. Guang Cai's style features are: Guang Cai is a technique using China brocade patterns, which is famous for its colorful, rigorous composition and fine painting; Guang Cai hooks, traces, weaves and fills with various colors and gold and silver water, just like countless gold and silver colored silk weaves on white jade, which is so dazzling and magnificent. There is a poem that sums up the characteristics of Guang Cai very vividly: "Colored pens are needles, painters are lines, and needles are intertwined vertically and horizontally. Why should brocade embroider spring pictures? Spring flowers fly on silver porcelain. "
