Brief introduction of pottery firing technique (Yingjing sand firing technique)

Applicant: Yingjing County, Sichuan Province

Yingjing sand ware in Sichuan Province is a folk handicraft with strong craftsmanship and rich cultural connotation. As early as 2000 years ago, sand production appeared in Yingjing. Yingjing sand ware production follows the traditional manual production mode left over from the history, which is divided into the processes of material collection, blank making, glazing, firing, etc., and the blank making modeling is an important part. In the production process, the intensity of manual operation, the fineness and coarseness of the pattern, the degree of polishing, the quality of glazing and the temperature of baking are directly related to the quality of the finished product.

The main raw materials of Yingjing sand ware are clay and cinder. The crushing process adopts the original method of milling, which is finished after raw materials and water are crushed by cattle. The way of holding the turntable and stepping on the turntable is adopted for the blank making, and the subsequent forming, decal, carving and modeling are completed in the forming process. The natural shade drying method is adopted for the drying of Yingjing sand ware to prevent the sun exposure. The shade dried blank is put into a special pit or kiln, ignited and sealed, and roasted at a high temperature above 1000 ℃. When it comes out of the oven, the product with high temperature is put into the glazing pit for burning and glazing, and finally the finished product is formed.
