When it comes to the porcelain appearance of the layer of carmine red glaze colour, countless people like porcelain are fascinated by it.

     But very few people know, porcelain glaze colour red is extremely difficult to modulate out. In the past film, there is a Qing dynasty about porcelain TV series, which mentioned such a plot: because the red porcelain has been very difficult to adjust out, so do the two masters of porcelain, even superstitious to want to sacrifice kiln with a boy or girl. This sounds really sensational.

     Although there are some exaggerated components in the inside, but the red colour of the glaze, it is extremely difficult to deploy. It needs to accurately grasp the formula of kaolin clay and ceramic glaze in the glaze put the proportion of fruit, and then can be blended out of the right colour.

     Zhu Xiaoping is a mixing "national colour" of the glaze master. He is the representative inheritor of the intangible cultural heritage project "Jingdezhen handmade porcelain technology - rouge glaze preparation", and the head of the brand Feng Yao. In his hands, he can mix the most beautiful red glaze, firing a rouge-coloured porcelain.

Recalling the days of experimentation, he remembers vividly.

     At that time, he often locked himself in the laboratory to repeat the test, sleep and food. Raw materials are very important in the blending of rouge colour. He has been abroad many times, not just abroad to gain knowledge, but travelled all over the world to buy ruby red, onyx red and other natural minerals; in order to present the effect of porcelain with the level of the official kiln, he is extremely concerned about the production process and firing temperature, to the point of precision to the extent that each piece of porcelain tyre has how much surface area, how many grams of pigment should be put into the porcelain to ensure that each piece of calcined porcelain as much as six times... ...Zhu Xiaoping feels deeply gratified and satisfied when he sees a piece of carmine-red Contemporary Official Kiln masterpieces as gorgeous as peony flowers presented to the world, and conquers the audience with exquisite and exquisite and heavy and luxurious aura.

     As a result of exploring a set of leading technology of firing cochineal red, realising a great breakthrough in China's modern ceramic technology, Zhu Xiaoping became the "intangible cultural heritage of cochineal red glaze technology inheritor".

     When he was awarded this title, he had a lot of feelings in his heart.

     Born in 1960, Zhu Xiaoping's ancestors have been making porcelain for generations, and he is the eighth generation. In his early childhood, Zhu Xiaoping usually followed his parents in and out of Jingdezhen Art Porcelain Factory, and grew up smelling camphor oil. He was deeply impressed by the different sizes, realistic shapes and exquisite pictures of the porcelain in the factory, as well as the masters who were concentrating on painting the porcelain with their heads bowed, and the kiln that was always burning with a roaring fire. The ideal of inheriting ceramic skills took root in Zhu Xiaoping's young mind, and the bond was forged for more than 30 years. Then, with the announcement of the 3rd China Quality Award, a handmade porcelain craftsman from Jingdezhen, Jiangxi Province, led his Fengyao Rouge Bakelite team to the podium and was nominated for the China Quality Award.

     After the award Zhu Xiaoping, the face of all this as if it did not happen, he felt down to earth to do a good job of the matter at hand, is the most important. The national gift culture is Jingdezhen ceramics bloodline can not be erased genes, many years of craftsmanship inheritance and innovation to give Feng Yao to create a national gift of extraordinary strength, on this road, he paid too much. Recalling the past, he can not help but sigh.

     Compared with other glaze colours, the most aristocratic performance of carmine red is to use a trace of gold as a colouring agent to be fired, and to grasp the amount of colouring agent and firing temperature is even more precious. On this road, he repeatedly pondered, took too much pressure.

     Doing national porcelain, need to be implemented from the difficult and strict, to make the product can be worthy of the national porcelain quality. Ceramics is mud, fire, people's art, a little fear, porcelain will appear on the edge of the defects, and Zhu Xiaoping with action and finished products to explain his attitude to the perfect porcelain.

     Zhu Xiaoping to the old kiln secretly determined, he said to his workers: "the ancestors of the national gift porcelain brand must not be smashed in the hands of our generation. Only the blue is better than the blue, only to stand up to the ancestors, to stand up to Jingdezhen, to stand up to the country. One day, we want to make "Fengyao" a globally renowned porcelain brand, I want to bring the world's most beautiful carmine red here, so that the five-star red flag flying high over the shopping mall."
