Who knows? My family, it’s already the third week of work, why are you still suffering from post-holiday syndrome in ?
is like the video copy that the sheep finally came across: "Actually, I know when you will leave, but I still feel reluctant to let you go."
The content of this video originated from Jiang Xunqian (Jiuyue), known as the master of who dare not urge the update area in September. He has gained a large number of followers with a series of intangible cultural heritage reproduction videos.
Under the hands of September, whether it is the phoenix candle on the wedding night or the fish lantern swimming in the air, we can make it one by one and recreate the classics.
Her video copy seems to be bidding farewell to the ice sculpture dragon she built in winter through the gifts of ice and snow. Isn’t it the true voice of my fate with the holidays?
During the Spring Festival, she worked again and carved a giant dragon out of ice.
As a "seasonally limited" art, since ice sculptures cannot be kept (holidays), it is better to enjoy flowers in spring.
The sheep, who was shocked by this crystal clear "dragon" under the sunlight, recently discovered a way for to retain spring .
Although the ancients pursued the ancient wisdom of following the will of heaven and harmonizing the four seasons, they also yearned for the art of "leaving behind" and contending with time, which gave rise to the "eternal flower".
This thing used to be the headdress of the Queen of the Qing Dynasty. Now it can only be seen in a few places such as the Great Hall of the People and Yangzhou Museum. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a top luxury product that has been popular for thousands of years.
"It's not that China doesn't have luxury goods, it's that you simply can't afford them."
In the September video, I personally reproduced Tongcaohua. It took two months and I could only make a few flowers. It was very labor-intensive. .
The raw material Tongcao is actually wood, and it is also a medicinal material. The first step is to take out the inner stem of Tongcao while it is wet, cut it into sections, and then cut it into paper sheets. This step is extremely demanding, so cutting Tongcao paper is also called an intangible cultural heritage art.
Then it takes a lot of practice, repeatedly focusing on how to squeeze out the delicate petal shape with your hands, how hard it is, and the geometry of the curvature. It all depends on carefully observing the shape of the petals in nature.
Each flower requires about two hundred petals. In addition to testing craftsmanship and techniques, it also sharpens one's character.
Dyeing is also a very important step. The colors in nature are rich and delicate. Each petal has different shades if you look carefully. Just one flower requires ten color combinations, layer by layer, to restore the fragrance.
"The shape is more realistic than the plastic flower, and the love is stronger than the real flower."
"A Dream of Red Mansions" Chapter 18 "Rongguo Mansion Returns to the Province to Celebrate the Lantern Festival" once described that it was winter when Concubine Yuan returned to Rongguo Mansion to visit her relatives, and there were no flowers on the trees. There were no leaves, so Rong Guofu made flowers and leaves out of papyrus paper and stuck them on the trees, and the atmosphere suddenly became bright.
But it is hard to imagine that such a skill was once only mastered by two 80-year-olds. They tried to "leave" eternal art, but almost lost it before eternity.
There are many other arts that are gradually lost to eternity.
In the documentary "The Great Craftsman" , he said this sentence:
"When I was a child, the old man who sold sugar paintings appeared in the temple fair, but when I grew up, I could only see it on TV."
Hold on to it again With the vision of reviving sugar painting in every street and alley and allowing more people to "see" this art again, the sugar painting relay challenge was launched in September.
As a master of original painting and with painting skills, September thought this was not difficult.
In fact, the focus of sugar painting is on the control of sugar .
"The temperature of the sugar needs to be controlled, and the speed of painting is also required. It cannot be too slow and must be done in one go. In addition, the thickness of the lines when the syrup is poured out is also particular. Otherwise, when the bamboo skewer is inserted after the painting is completed, the entire pattern will be broken. "
tried several times but failed. She decided to find a master to study hard. She traveled to many places before she found a master. She studied for more than two months.
But in the end, she completed this set of lifelike "Praying Mantis Fist" and launched a relay challenge to all major sports bloggers on the Internet. More than 90 bloggers participated in this sugar painting creative relay .
Paul, a blogger on the other side of the Atlantic, also accepted this challenge in the United States. Using the sugar painting turntable given in September, he started a sugar painting stall on the streets of the United States.
This wave of cultural inheritance is directly full and reaches the opposite side.
However, for the art of "staying", sometimes you have to spend "heavy money".
Before, she went to a mountain village in Guizhou to learn how to make Miao silver jewelry. The raw materials alone used more than ten kilograms of silver.
The headdress is made from hundreds of pieces of silver. Each piece needs to be hammered at a uniform rhythm and with appropriate force, and repeated for several hours to achieve the uniform thickness of each piece of , which is equivalent to . Otherwise, even if you beat it for a hundred days, it will be ineffective.
Beating is only the first step, and you need to be more careful when welding: "Hold the welding gun in your left hand, move the position of the silver wire with your right hand, and the left and right brains work together. If you are not careful, you will burn a hole."
A pure Miao silver hat will cost at least the final cost Tens of thousands of dollars, not to mention the priceless hard work behind it.
Although with the rapid development of science and technology, a machine can produce a piece of silver in ten minutes, and you can buy a Miao headdress with a similar shape for 100 yuan, but handmade production is an art inherited from the ancestors, and it has nothing to do with convenience. In terms of price, is more of a "preservation" of technology than .
What made September's "Guardian" intangible cultural heritage series truly famous and attracted the attention of 300 million people was the "Tiehua" .
This is a performance that resonates with the emotions of all mankind, and it is also a victory of will and victory over fear . You must know that even if only a little bit of molten iron falls on the body, it may cause blisters.
risked his or her life to shoot videos, but I’m afraid not many people can do it .
Even the master of ironwork refused at first: "For more than 1,000 years, no girl has ever learned how to make ironwork, because it is too dangerous. If falls and burns, you will regret it for the rest of your life."
But she decided to give it a try. In her words, she was "stubborn in her bones" .
After months of training, we finally had this grand banquet in the dark.
"Shot the 1600-degree molten iron into the sky, turning it into a sky full of splendor, and gold everywhere."
"Iron flowers fade away, but human feelings last forever" , the barrage's tribute is not only for the inheritance of intangible cultural heritage, but also for the inheritance of intangible cultural heritage. It is also touching that human beings are rewarded for challenging themselves.
At this moment, the Internet reaches unanimous harmony in order to praise the inheritance.
In the vast universe, we, as human beings, may be small. Facing the long river of time, it seems like only a moment, but we are still trying to "leave" something to create eternal art .
So although a video may take a huge amount of time, many craftsmen are still willing to craft it carefully and pass on Chinese culture with sincerity.
"I can not only identify jade, but also make jewelry." A post-00s girl won the first prize in the jewelry processing competition, promoting the carving and polishing skills of Chinese jewelry to the world.
The "everlasting flower" craft that was reproduced before September also has a girl who is willing to stick to the inheritance - Wang Yunyu, born in 1995, has studied the craft for fifteen years, just to restore the flower headdress in ancient paintings.
and so on, they withstand all kinds of malice, speculation, accusations, and even abuse, not to let people recognize the abilities of women from the bottom of their hearts, but that more and more ordinary people are willing to "leave" the culture. Wear Hanfu and learn to make flowers, just to keep the "good things" from our ancestors.
Through the door they opened as a key to travel through the past and present, at this moment, the spiritual resonance with time allows us to reach deeper into the soul.
If nothing can be saved, including holidays, then let "eternity" stay a little longer.
