Building the Kowloon Wall is not an ordinary project, and it is very demanding and difficult. You must find those skilled people. The minister of the Ministry of Industry chose to go and finally chose a craftsman named Ma Dechun. Ma Dechun has been firing glazed tiles for more than ten years, and its technology is superb. He selected dozens of craftsmen and began to work on the third day. Before starting work, he told the craftsmen the requirements for firing colored glazed tiles.
He said: "The firing of colored glazed tiles is very particular about the proportion of materials and the temperature. If the proportion is not well mastered, burning a finished glazed tile will cost more than a dozen pieces of waste. Everyone should pay more attention and don't make mistakes. " Then he takes everyone to work. They spent a lot of effort, burned for 7749 days, and finally caught fire.
On the day of installation, people came and went in front of the palace, and craftsmen were busy in an orderly way. Suddenly a clear and crisp noise came, which startled Ma Dechun. When he came to the scene of the accident, he saw a small craftsman standing there staring at a broken glazed tile.
Ma Dechun carefully pieced together the broken glazed tiles, looked at them carefully and whispered to the craftsmen around him, "You can't tell anyone about this. Anyone who confides a word will be killed! "
On the way home, Ma Dechun was on tenterhooks. It's too late for him to re-fire glazed tiles, and he can't afford to delay the construction period, but he has to risk cheating the monarch to find a way to remedy it! Seeing that the construction period is coming in a few days, he put his heart on the line and waited for death.
When he got home, he didn't think about tea and rice, and no matter who came, he went to the small barn alone, blocked the doors and windows, and quietly made a "glazed tile."
The news of the completion of the Nine Dragon Wall reached the emperor in time. The next day, Qianlong took several ministers to see it. As soon as he entered Xiqingmen, he suddenly saw the majestic Kowloon Wall. Take a closer look, these nine dragons are lifelike, just like real ones. Emperor Qianlong felt brilliant and could not help admiring.
