Three Springs and Seven Summers

It was great! After watching it, I want to rewatch "A Century of Spring Light" again. I miss Song Cha.

Da Feng Gold Shop came to visit.

A young man from a fallen family, yearning for peace and justice, accidentally breaks an antique Spring and Summer Bowl. The story of the soul within the bowl awakens Xu Zhiliu, who believes the young man is her former nemesis. Thus, she decides to take revenge on the world in her own way. The author's profound knowledge of Chinese ceramic culture is evident in the text. The writing is excellent, the plot is engaging and flows smoothly, the characters are vividly portrayed, and the interpretation of human nature is philosophical.

Porcelain, too, is categorized into different grades. Bowls and plates are like those of the lower classes, representing those who struggle daily for food, living hand to mouth, spending their money as they come. Meanwhile, exquisite pieces displayed in living rooms are like those of the middle and upper classes. However, many people start from scratch and eventually become millionaires. They rely on their strong will, their own hands, and their ingenuity to carve out their own path! Everyone has their own piece of porcelain. Friends, let's use our hands and minds to create our own piece of porcelain. The tool must be unique!

Do you like Chinese ceramics? Did you know that China is world-renowned for its pottery? Did you know that Jingdezhen pottery is the most famous among Chinese ceramics? Did you know that each exquisite piece of porcelain is a vibrant life? Each exquisite piece of pottery is an interesting soul and a story? Just like the two protagonists in the text? Their love story is a story related to Chinese pottery. There are many stories and novels in film and television works with Chinese culture as their background.

Life is like porcelain, exquisite yet fragile, requiring careful handling. Each piece, each relationship, is like that exquisite porcelain. Among porcelain, the most beautiful and rare is Jingdezhen's blue and white porcelain, for two reasons: its forging process and its color. This is why poems like "The sky-blue awaits the rain, and I await you" evoke such sentiments. The sky-blue color cannot form on its own; the ancients could not change humidity. Therefore, the moment the celadon was fired, it had to be on a rainy day for the glaze to gradually transform into that dreamlike sky-blue. Thus, porcelain after a rainstorm is extremely precious. The sky-blue waiting for the rain represents a yearning for and affirmation of a complete life. "I wait for you, just as the sky-blue awaits the rain," is like the emotions in a person's life.

Life is like rock climbing; you'll encounter setbacks and difficulties. But as long as you face them bravely and climb forward, success awaits you at the finish line. Life is like a piece of porcelain, and you are the maker of that porcelain. Because each piece of porcelain has a different maker, its appearance and function will always differ. Different pieces of porcelain represent different lives. A person's life is the same. What kind of life you lead is created with your own life and hands; it's not static. Whether it's good or bad depends on your hard work. The author uses Chinese pottery as a cultural backdrop, yet vividly portrays a series of life stories.

Every exquisite piece of Chinese pottery has its own story, such as the Terracotta Army, the well-known tale of the Cup Fairy, the popular TV series "My Wife is a Fairy" from a few years ago, and love stories related to pottery that often appear in news reports, films, and novels. The Jingdezhen Porcelain Factory is a professional manufacturer of the four traditional famous porcelains of Jingdezhen: blue-and-white porcelain with openwork decoration. This type of porcelain, a product of the ingenious combination of blue-and-white decoration and openwork techniques, has a history of over 1000 years and is known to foreigners as "porcelain inlaid with glass." Blue-and-white porcelain with openwork decoration possesses a strong oriental character and is loved by Westerners. It won an international award at the 1986 Leipzig International Fair in Germany. Therefore, some say that our lives are like the forging process of these exquisite pieces of porcelain; they require tempering and refinement to become truly valuable.

Each piece of ceramic, fired at high temperatures and smelted into priceless treasures, undergoes a process much like a person's life. It involves various steps, from selecting materials to shaping, to the finished product, and finally forging—a process mirroring a person's life, which is filled with trials and tribulations. Some even say that one must endure countless hardships and obstacles to grow into a useful person. This story, beginning with a misunderstanding that leads to a love tale spanning past and present lives, is rich in plot twists and turns. The author possesses a profound understanding of Chinese pottery culture.

Like ceramics, a person's life trajectory is formed in childhood. Early childhood is like the clay used to make ceramics; the education given shapes the person into that form. —Sidez, how delicate and precious we are in our early years, the apple of our parents' eye, the fruits of their labor. Therefore, some say that a person's life is like Chinese ceramics—fragile yet beautiful and wonderful. Just as pottery requires painstaking effort and refinement to become a cherished piece, a person's life, like pottery, requires dedication and skill to become a cherished piece. Some even evoke beautiful lyrics and poems like "Sky Blue…and am I waiting for you?" Just as in this article, the author uses the story of Chinese porcelain collecting to introduce a series of events stemming from the accidental breaking of a spring/summer bowl.
