Our Chinese name to the outside world is China. In fact, there is another world name which is the transliteration of Liao (Dynasty) Khitan "Китай". Our northern Liao culture is so strong that it can represent China in the world, so his this The best carrier porcelain has declined relatively, so this point touched me very much.
[Explanation] Liao Dynasty ceramics is referred to as Liao porcelain. It has a history of more than 1,100 years. However, in the process of inheritance, Liao porcelain craftsmanship has been broken for nearly 300 years. In the absence of relevant historical materials, ingredients and techniques, it is difficult to restore Liao porcelain skills. .
In 2017, after years of polishing and hundreds of experiments, Sun Tianshu, the inheritor of Liao porcelain after 1985, successfully cracked the "code" of Liao porcelain skills and applied for an intangible cultural heritage project.

For Liao Porcelain, you should not only spread its reputation, let everyone know what is Liao culture?
What is Liao Porcelain?
Then it is necessary to restore the whole technique in depth.
So in this section, we not only want to do ceramics, but also to do this culture, but also to explore this skill.
[Explanation] Because of his long-standing love and curiosity about porcelain, Sun Tianshu applied for a major in ceramics when he was a graduate student. During the process of continuous learning, he came into contact with Liao porcelain and fell in love with the culture of the Liao Dynasty.
In order to understand and master as much as possible the production methods of various types of ceramics across the country, Sun Tianshu visited major kilns across the country, began to explore and study the ancient craftsmanship of Liaoning porcelain, and was determined to use his own hands to "rebirth" the craftsmanship of Liaoning porcelain. ".

Because if you don't do it, I don't do it, then who will do it in this culture?
Then it always has to have someone come and go to do this skill first, and then introduce this culture. So at the earliest time, I had a belief that I was a graduate of this major and a native of my hometown, and I should do something about the culture of my hometown.
[Explanation] Sun Tianshu told reporters that ceramic production is a job that requires both physical strength and endurance. It has extremely high requirements for strength and is not friendly to female workers, especially in the face of Liao porcelain whose skills have been lost. Techniques, the road to recovery is not smooth, and it is not only physical consumption that tests Sun Tianshu, but also psychological and spiritual pressure.

The most impressive thing is that the door of the kiln is broken once, because I know that I can get to the step of firing. I have done a lot of preparatory work in the early stage, looking at the raw materials, production, including decoration, etc., and I can reach the final firing time. , I have to go through two or three or more firings before, because I feel like I am motivated to experiment every time, when all the adjustable parameters you think have been adjusted, it has not been successful. At that time, the pressure at that time was really great.
[Explanation] Sun Tianshu introduced that the flat body of the utensils is the biggest feature of the Liao Dynasty ceramics, and the general kiln mouths are mostly concentric circles, which adds great difficulty to the production of the Liao Dynasty ceramics.
After changing the temperature of the kiln mouth and adjusting the proportion of materials bit by bit, after a long period of trial and error and continuous summarization, Sun Tianshu finally fired Liao porcelain utensils that are comparable to unearthed cultural relics in terms of color, density, feel and sound. .

After all, it has been idle for such a long time before. It may be a matter of nostalgia and luck to be able to make it. It may be a normal thing to do it, but I prefer to try one more time, and try again, maybe I slowly summed up an experience, and in the end I was really lucky, and I finished this recovery period.
[Explanation] Sun Tianshu, who now undertakes the mission of developing Liao porcelain culture, established the Liao Porcelain Cultural Industrial Park, established the Liao Porcelain Exhibition Hall, and devoted his energy to the development of Liao Porcelain innovative products. Some of the patents he owns filled the gaps at home and abroad. , The products are also included in the porcelain for national ceremony.
At the same time, in order to better popularize the Liao porcelain culture, Sun Tianshu entered the campus through the Liao porcelain culture and opened a training course for the benefit of porcelain making, so that the Liao porcelain entered the public eye.

Our current position is to use the millennium culture that can be used to make a good Liaoning gift. So for this millennium culture, what we are willing to do is to explore and disseminate more culturally, so we are in the education sector. , whether it is training or courses, we will go deeper and want to go wider in the future.
So on the Liaoning gift side, we also want to present this skill, a skill that currently has a number of intellectual property protections, to present more as a gift, so that more people know and can use it, so that everyone can use it. People who walk out of Liaoning or walk into Liaoning know that we have a cultural card.
