What do the BRIC countries stand for?

Brick brick, also known as imperial kiln brick, is a treasure in the traditional kiln brick firing industry in China. In ancient times, it was a kind of high-quality adobe specially used for palaces and other important buildings. Because of its solid and delicate texture, the percussion is as loud as metal, hence the name BRIC. Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it has been favored by emperors of past dynasties and has become a specialty of court architecture.

Brick is a big brick two feet square; Since the Forbidden City was founded, this kind of gold brick made by special technology has been a specialty of the Forbidden City. This kind of brick was placed in an important palace in the Forbidden City. The golden bricks in the Hall of Supreme Harmony that we see now were laid during the reign of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty. It is still as bright as new. A total of 47 18 bricks were laid in the hall of supreme harmony in the Forbidden City.

Traditional BRICS technology:

1, borrow soil

Choose soil first and then borrow it. Those experienced masters can see where the soil is not only sticky, but also has high aluminum content and can be ground into powder. After selecting soil, it has to go through seven processes, such as digging, transporting, drying, grinding, pulping, grinding and screening, which takes up to 8 months.

2, blank making

The prepared soil is made into bricks by semi-manual and semi-mechanical methods. Ordinary bricks can be made of clay according to the required size and thickness. More complicated are those tiles with special technological requirements, for example, some tiles need to be painted with patterns. In order to make the fired pattern vivid, it is necessary to properly grasp the description of the pattern when making blanks.
