In Shapo Village, Yangcheng County, Qiao Lin, a new generation inheritor of "Qiao's Enamel", is making Enamel.
Among the top ten characteristic professional towns in the layout of Jincheng City, Yangcheng, as the southwest gate of Shanxi, occupies two of them: one is a sericulture professional town, and the other is a ceramic glaze (enamel) professional town.
If the sericulture is shortlisted for a long history, then the ceramic glaze (enamel) is listed, in addition to the kiln fire for thousands of years, but also because of the unique status of Yangcheng as the "porcelain capital of North China" and the strength of the hard state.
Closely relying on traditional advantages, resource endowments and industrial foundations, we will continue to accelerate industrial transformation and promote the revitalization of the manufacturing industry ......In 2022, Yangcheng County Ceramic Glaze (Enamel) Professional Town will absorb 398 industry market entities (including 14 large-scale enterprises) to settle in, and the number of direct employees will reach 2150,000 people, 25 public service platforms have been established, and the output value of the whole industrial chain has reached 6 billion yuan.

Yangcheng porcelain began in the Xia and Shang dynasties, extended to the Han and Tang dynasties, flourished in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and has been passed down from generation to generation. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "there is Jingdezhen in the south, and there is a waist in the north". Today, after the waist village, there is still a relatively complete enamel kiln site, which has become a "living fossil" that witnesses the history of Yangcheng porcelain.
Because of "porcelain" and famous. In recent years, Yangcheng has been awarded many well-known titles such as "China (North China) Building Ceramics Production Base", "China Architectural Glaze Township", "China Green Building Ceramics Production Area", "China Enamel Township", "China's Top Ten Ceramic Production Areas", "The Largest Ceramic Production Area in the North", "China (North China) Building Ceramics Innovation and Development Demonstration Production Area" and many other well-known titles.

In the early winter, the reporter set off from Yangcheng County, all the way to the east after driving more than ten miles, the legendary Houzejiao Village - the core area of the ceramic glaze (enamel) professional town is impressive.
Walking into the newly built Yangcheng Liuli Enamel Museum in the village, all kinds of glazed exhibits are crystal clear and dazzling: green and yellow round gourd stools, simple and cute zodiac signs, lifelike 28 stars, elegant kissing beasts with feather light, and exquisite 100 tiles and 100 faces ......It's all breathtaking.
One piece is 6 long4 meters, 1 highThe 6-meter double-sided Kowloon glazed shadow wall, the reporter saw that the price reached an astonishing 1.2 million yuan.
The history of porcelain making is frozen here, and it is "resurrected" here.
The museum is equipped with a plain tire display area, a firing display area, a glaze master studio, etc., which comprehensively displays the history of glaze inheritance and development and the production process.
At the same time, there is also a popular science lecture hall and a teaching practice area to meet the needs of the society for visiting and teaching experience.
Shi Hao, the person in charge of the museum, proudly introduced, "I don't know, right?The Forbidden City in Beijing, the Forbidden City in Shenyang, and the Ming Tombs ......Most of the glaze used in these famous buildings came from the hands of craftsmen in Yangcheng. Yangcheng glaze production can account for 75% of the province and 15% of the country. This museum covers an area of 4,500 square meters, with a collection of more than 2,000 items, it is currently the largest glass museum in the country, it is not only the imprint of the long history of Yangcheng glaze, but also the window to display Yangcheng glaze products. ”
Following Shi Hao's footsteps, the reporter walked into the Liuli Enamel Museum Industrial Park, but after seeing it, more than a dozen farmers and technicians in Waist Village either kneaded with mud, or carved with a knife, or sketched the ......I perform the production of glass (enamel).
Cui Shulin, the 78-year-old inheritor of the national intangible cultural heritage "Qiao's Glass", personally kneaded and shaped, and guided the inheritance by hand, reflecting the awe of an old artist who engraved the glass skills in his bones.
Shi Hao told reporters that in order to speed up the development of glaze and accelerate the inheritance of glaze culture, in the future, the waist village will be the radiation section, and Yangcheng is trying to jump out of the thinking of seeing glaze as a building material to develop glaze, so that the millennium of continuous kiln fire will continue to write a new legend and write a new brilliance.
Beginning from the Yuan, Xing in the Ming Dynasty, ending in the Qing Dynasty, the enamel evolved from the glaze, is a kind of low-temperature glazed ceramics unique to ancient Shanxi, and is a veritable Shanxi ceramic culture.
To understand the heritage and characteristics of Yangcheng County's ceramic glaze (enamel) professional town, the provincial intangible cultural heritage "Qiao's Enamel", which integrates cultural carriers and wisdom crystallization, can not be bypassed.

The biggest difference between enamel and glaze is that enamel is glazed and sesame slices are opened, while glaze is opened with large nail slices. In addition, compared with glazed ware, the glaze color is purer, richer, and the depiction is more delicate.
The finished products of "Qiao's Enamel" include building components, bottles, cans, plates, bowls, basins, tea sets and other utensils. On the basis of continuing the cultural bloodline of "Qiao's glaze", "Qiao's Enamel" has created a unique enamel glaze, vertical line decoration technology and firing technology, with distinct themes and colorful colors, which are of great ornamental and collection value.
