The introduction of blue and white porcelain is urgent.

Blue-and-white porcelain, also known as white blue-and-white porcelain, is one of the mainstream varieties of China porcelain and belongs to underglaze colored porcelain. Blue-and-white porcelain is made of cobalt ore containing cobalt oxide as raw material, with decorative patterns painted on the ceramic blank and covered with a layer of transparent glaze, which is fired at one time by high temperature reducing flame. Cobalt is blue after firing, which has the characteristics of strong coloring, bright hair color, high firing rate and stable color. Primitive blue-and-white porcelain appeared in Tang and Song Dynasties, and mature blue-and-white porcelain appeared in Hutian kiln in Jingdezhen in Yuan Dynasty. Blue and white became the mainstream of Ming porcelain. It reached its peak in the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, colorful blue and white, peacock green glazed blue and white, bean green glazed blue and white yellow and old glazed blue and white were also created and fired.

Lyrics:

The embryo outlines the blue-and-white brush strokes that turn from thick to light.

The peony depicted on the bottle is like your first makeup.

I know Ran Ran sandalwood through the window.

The pen on the rice paper is half here.

Glaze color rendering the charm of female figure is hidden.

You smile like a bud.

Your beauty is drifting away.

Go where I can't go

Sky blue and other misty rain

I'm waiting for you

Smoke billowed from the kitchen stove.

A river that spans thousands of miles

At the bottom of the bottle, Han Li imitated the elegance of the previous dynasty.

Think of it as the foreshadowing of meeting you.

Sky blue and other misty rain

I'm waiting for you

The moonlight was salvaged.

A dizzying ending

For example, blue and white porcelain passed down from generation to generation.

There's a smile in your eyes

Koi fish, with white flowers and blue color, jumped to the bottom of the bowl.

I miss you when I copy my signature.

The secret you hid in the kiln for thousands of years.

Very delicate, like an embroidery needle landing.

Outside the curtain, plantains cause showers and knockers cause verdigris.

I passed by that small town in the south of the Yangtze River and made you angry.

In splash-ink landscape painting

You are hidden in the depths of ink.

Sky blue and other misty rain

I'm waiting for you

Smoke billowed from the kitchen stove.

A river that spans thousands of miles

At the bottom of the bottle, Han Li imitated the elegance of the previous dynasty.

Think of it as the foreshadowing of meeting you.

Sky blue and other misty rain

I'm waiting for you

The moonlight was salvaged.

A dizzying ending

For example, blue and white porcelain passed down from generation to generation.

There's a smile in your eyes

Lyrics interpretation

Fang gang's interpretation of lyrics.

Smoke billows from the kitchen, and a thousand miles across the river.

First of all, I want to share with my dear netizens the creative process of filling this "blue and white porcelain" in Jay's new album. Some time ago, I met a few friends who appreciate antique artworks. During the chat with them, I talked about the past and present for thousands of years, sometimes bronzes, sometimes Song porcelain, and sometimes Ming and Qing furniture, which led me to use those artworks handed down from China as the motivation for the Song title. The first thing that came to mind at that time was bronzes. Originally, bronze wares cast in the Yin and Shang Dynasties were used as the song title, and the thickness of bronze symbolized the loyalty of love. Compare the vicissitudes of the world with the mottled copper rust of the Millennium; Explain the mystery of the oath with the incomprehensible inscription on the container. But when I first started writing, I found that Jay's Blue and White Porcelain was gentle and euphemistic, elegant and refined, so that my mind was full of pictures of misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River. Because the bronzes at that time were also made into weapons to kill the enemy, it seems that the word "bronze" is too heavy and clumsy, full of smoke, so the lyrics that were still conceived were given up before writing.

Later, I chose Ruyao porcelain, which was very popular in the Song Dynasty, mainly because of its rarity. Due to the war, kiln glaze formula and firing process, there are only more than 70 treasures handed down from ancient times in Ru kiln, which is a national treasure and precious. But the problem comes again, because the pure top-grade Ru kiln has only one color, that is, "azure", without any fancy ornamentation at all, and its shape is simple and elegant. In my opinion, it's like the works of today's minimalist masters. Although the connotation is simple and the texture is lasting, I always feel that it is not enough to describe treacherous and changeable love with love and hate. Although Ru Yao was not used as the title of the lyrics in the end, in the process of collecting writing materials, the future was achieved because of the phrase "after the rain clears, the clouds break and people die". Words inspired me to write the first sentence of the chorus "misty rain is like sky blue" It is said that this sentence came from Song Huizong, because the Ru kiln at that time was dedicated to the Song royal family, and when the kiln official asked to name its color after firing Ru kiln porcelain, the royal family approved: "Rain breaks the blue clouds, so color will be the future." From then on, azure is the color name of Ru kiln porcelain. But later, I gave up using Ruyao as the song title. Besides its characteristics, it is not suitable for lingering love. The name Ruyao is a bit too sad. After many twists and turns, the song was finally named Blue and White Porcelain, which was first burned in the Tang Dynasty and lasted for more than 1000 years in the early China. When I first decided on the lyrics of misty rain like sky blue, it didn't take long to write the second sentence of the chorus "I am waiting for you", so the key word of the first sentence of the chorus was born: "misty rain like sky blue, and I am waiting for you". Because the sky blue described in my lyrics can't appear by itself, it must wait patiently for a rain that doesn't know when it will come before it can appear as sky blue in the clear sky where cumulus clouds disperse. Because the sky blue will only appear after the rain, and the sky blue will only appear after the rain, but I will say that if you want to see the sky blue, you must wait for the rain to pass. Also, the reason why "misty rain" is used instead of "rain" is purely because misty rain is more beautiful in artistic conception. I use the phrase "sky blue and misty rain" to counter the vernacular saying "I am waiting for you", and I use the word "wait" one after another to emphasize that the most powerless helplessness in love is "wait". To put it another way: "How can we ordinary people master the unpredictable weather?" ? If you want to see the pure blue washed by rain, you can only wait patiently for the shower to stop naturally, just as I can only wait passively and quietly for you who will not appear. "In this blue-and-white porcelain, there is also a plant that rarely appears in the lyrics of Banana, really because of my inexplicable love for this plant. Just like coconut trees are reminiscent of South Taiwan Province Province, palm trees are equivalent to warm beaches, and cactus scenes are naturally in the desert. Somehow, I naturally associate "bananas" with Suzhou Forest Garden in the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River in the Song Dynasty. For example, in Li Yu's Sauvignon Blanc, there is "... autumn wind, rain and harmony." There are three bananas outside the curtain, and the night is long. "In fact, as long as you carefully observe the plants that often appear in Song Ci, the frequency of" bananas "is still quite high. In addition, Matsuo Bashō, a famous Japanese haiku poet, also took banana as an alias, which added some literati temperament to banana planting.

Incidentally, the usage of the word "provoke" in the lyrics is a famous lyric of my sixth ancestor Huineng: "Bodhi has no trees, and the mirror is not Taiwan; There is nothing there, where is the dust? ". Because "where the dust causes" can actually be written as "where the dust stains" or "where the dust stains", but because the meaning of dyeing and dyeing is not as strong as that of "dyeing", dyeing and dyeing are only words that contact with other things, while the word "dyeing" has the meaning of uninvited, very active, very aggressive and dramatic. Therefore, I use "knocker to provoke verdigris" instead of "knocker to stain verdigris"; There is also a lyric that I used to annoy you with "Pass by Jiangnan Town with me", and I don't need to pick you up with "Pass by Jiangnan Town with me" for the same reason. In fact, I have used the word "infuriated" in Nan Quan Mama's Butterfly in Love. In the first paragraph of lyrics, "The faint years are drifting back and forth, and the screen stirs up the sunset ...", I use the "screen" to stir up the sunset "to indicate that when the sun sets, the light that enters the room obliquely because of the screen's blocking, instead of" screen "to cover the sunset".

Finally, regarding the meaning of "bananas cause showers and knockers cause patina", let me explain the superfluous words here; After a heavy rain, the garden was green, the air was full of moist moisture, and crystal raindrops rolled on the banana leaves. At this time, this scene is the most poetic; There are also some rusty copper rings, which are still embedded in the door panels after wind, frost and rain, and are the oldest. I first used China's classic phrase "Bananas provoke showers, knockers provoke verdigris" to express my feelings, and then I won a passage "Walk with me through that small town in the south of the Yangtze River and provoke you" as an antithesis. Because banana and knocker are static objects, they can only passively wait for showers and slowly oxidize into verdigris after years of erosion; But the pronoun "I" is different from bananas and knockers. Because "I" can move freely, I met you by chance through a small town in the south of the Yangtze River, not passively waiting for you, but actively getting to know you. Therefore, although the verb "provoke" is used, initiative and passivity are very different, and I have used three words of "provoke" in this paragraph, which have the same meaning, but their usage is different and interesting. In short, this song is very hard to write, but it is also very fulfilling.
