Simple and unadorned, return to nature
Turbid water flows eastward, muddy and clear, and it is difficult to muddy the world. This poem by Wang Changling eulogizes that pottery is as pure and flawless as clear running water, and even in the mud, it is difficult to be contaminated with secular dust. The simplicity of pottery is the embodiment of returning to nature. In the noisy world, let's find peace and security.
Clear water produces hibiscus, which is naturally carved.
Like the lotus of water, it has the nature of nature. Li Bai, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, was full of praise for pottery, which is a classic among the classics. Muddy hibiscus gives clear water, just like the beauty of pottery. Natural shape, without any carving, has a natural elegance. The beauty of ceramic art lies in its simplicity and naturalness, and it can bloom its unique charm without complicated decoration.
Eternal silence is like rebirth.
The dusty ancient pottery has a thousand years of meaning, and it has been unearthed to reproduce a new look. This poem describes the amazing beauty of pottery excavated from silence. Pottery buried underground for thousands of years, after years of baptism, still does not lose its elegance. When they see the light of day again, they are just like new students, with an ancient and mysterious atmosphere, telling the precipitation of history and the inheritance of culture.
Send love to mountains and rivers and blend in with nature.
Taoju is like Shan Weng for a long time, leaning on a stone and listening to flowing water. Tao Yuanming lived in seclusion in Lu Tao, was close to nature, and pinned his feelings on pottery. For him, pottery is not only a daily necessities, but also a spiritual sustenance. He decorated his Lu Tao with rocks and flowing water, and felt the beauty of heaven and earth in a quiet and leisurely life. Pottery and landscape are integrated and become a part of the poet's spiritual world.
Wash away the lead, the heart is like Tao Ran.
You can't see the truth until you wash away the lead, but Tao Ran forgot the machine and was very happy. Pottery has weathered the wind and rain, washed away the lead and showed its true colors. Just like the beauty of pottery, it lies not in its surface brilliance, but in its inner temperament. Heart like Tao Ran, indifferent to fame and fortune, detached from things, find the true meaning of life in pottery.
Ancient poetry about pottery is not only a praise of the beauty of pottery, but also a feeling of life. From simplicity to simplicity, from clear water hibiscus to natural carving, the beauty of ceramic art inspires us to pursue inner peace and enrichment and stick to our true colors in a complicated world.
