Notes on the Sea of ​​Clouds

This book starts with a starry night trip to Jiuxian Mountain and tells the adventures of Huilian and Jiawei in Dehua, the porcelain capital. They drove an SUV nicknamed the "Iron Whale" and followed weather data and ancient legends into the depths of the sea of ​​clouds in the Daiyun Mountains. In the Rhododendron Forest Wooden House at an altitude of 1,658 meters, pine needles and porcelain pieces whisper of the past; the old kiln in the fog in Songtao Cliff hides the bond between three generations of Jiawei's ancestors and ceramics - the grandfather's unfinished Guanyin statue, the glaze formula of the grandmother before falling off the cliff, and the observation records of the father who had been guarding him for half his life, all gradually emerged in the intertwining of fog and fire. From the moonlight glaze of the Yueji Kiln to the blood-colored glaze of the Red Mushroom Kiln, from the matte porcelain that can reveal memories to the "three-person bowl" that condenses the warmth of generations, every piece of porcelain is a container of time, containing the kiln god's incantation, family secrets and unspoken confessions. When the kiln fire lit Songtao Cliff on the night of the winter solstice, and the sea of ​​clouds collided with the porcelain light to create three shadows, they finally understood: the fog in Jiuxian Mountain will remember everything, just as the porcelain in Dehua will forever lock the temperature of the fire. This is a poem about inheritance and promise, making every piece of porcelain become a star trail connecting the past and the future.
