七、阅读短文，回答问题
Sun Yunyi stands by a hot stove at over 1,300℃ and his face is covered with sweat. He blows air through a long iron pipe and watches the coloured glaze (釉) bulging (鼓起) from the other end.
Sun is from Zibo, Shandong Province. He is known for his skill in Boshan coloured glaze, or “chicken-fat yellow” glaze. The Boshan coloured glaze industry started in the Tang Dynasty and reached its peak (顶峰) during the Qing Dynasty.
However, the rare glazing technique was lost at the turn of the 20th century. In the 1990s, Sun’s father set up a small workplace, and researched the making of chicken-fat yellow glaze, hoping to bring back this lost art.
Chicken-fat yellow glazeware is never easy to make. After being taken out of the stove, the liquid coloured glaze cools down and becomes hard quickly. So workers must blow it when it is not too hard or too soft. “Usually, nine out of ten tries will end in failure,” Sun said. To improve the old skills, Sun travelled the world to find the best raw materials. After years of practice, he brought the ancient craftsmanship back to life in 2007.
