柴烧是一种利用薪柴作为燃料，

Wood firing is a process in which firewood is used as fuel,

通过复杂的烧制过程，

将泥土转化为独特而富有韵味的陶瓷作品。

the clay is transformed into unique and charming ceramic works.

需要选取优质的陶土，

High-quality clay needs to be selected,

经过揉泥、拉坯、修坯等工序，

制成初具形态的陶瓷坯体。

go through processes such as kneading, throwing, and trimming to form the initially shaped ceramic blank.

随后将坯体放入窑内，

Then, the blank is placed into the kiln

用薪柴作为燃料进行烧制。

and fired with firewood as the fuel.

在烧制过程中，

During the firing process,

木材的燃烧产生的热量、灰烬以及火焰会直接作用于坯体上，

the heat, ashes, and flames generated by the combustion of wood directly act on the blank,

形成独特的自然灰釉效果。

forming a unique natural ash glaze effect.

由于柴烧过程中存在许多不可控因素，

Due to many uncontrollable factors in the process of wood firing,

如温度波动、燃料种类变化等，

such as temperature fluctuations and changes in fuel types and so on,

因此每一件柴烧作品都是独一无二的，

一次偶然的机会，

By chance,

陶瓷专业的崔绪祥接触到了在北方并不盛行的古法柴烧，

Cui Xuxiang, a major in ceramics, came into contact with the ancient method of wood firing, which is not prevalent in the north.

1,300摄氏度下陶坯的浴火重生让他深深着迷。

The rebirth of the ceramic blank in the 1,300-degree fire fascinated him deeply.

他通过查找网络、翻阅书籍开始尝试去建一个柴窑，

He began to attempt to build a wood-fired kiln by searching the internet and reading books.

然而在经历了一次次失败后，

After experiencing failures one after another,

他并不气馁，

he was not discouraged.

反而更加激起了他对柴烧的兴趣。

Instead, his interest in wood firing was further aroused.

经历了数次的烧制他终于慢慢掌握了柴烧的技巧。

After several times, he finally gradually mastered the techniques of wood firing.

他坚持一年只出两窑，

He insists on firing only two kilns a year.

即使成品率只有5成也要做到与新主人的惺惺相惜。

Even if the finished product rate is only 50%,he wants to have a sympathetic connection with the new owners.

接下来崔旭腾打算更加深入的研究一下

柴烧的历史和工艺。

Next, Cui Xuxiang plans to study on the history and techniques of wood firing in depth.

不断探索新的柴烧技艺，

He will explore new wood-firing techniques continuously,

让更多的人能够认识了解柴烧，

and enable more people to know wood firing,

也有助于这门古老技艺的传承

and also contribute to the inheritance and development of this ancient art.
