National Tide 1980.

Chapter 787
However, Ning Weimin, who is hiding behind the scenes, is the five words "painful and happy". Has the real reaction to the extreme?
Do not!I'm afraid I have to say that the three people who came to the altar are headless chickens with ups and downs, joy and sorrow, contradictory.

For them, in the beginning, they were complacent and wanted to find psychological balance.

Unexpectedly, the heaven failed to fulfill one's wishes, and when one really came to the Temple of Heaven, what one saw was far beyond imagination, one stimulus after another.

The Temple of Heaven never gave them a chance to be self-satisfied. Instead, they were deeply shocked until they lost their psychological balance.

Like the majestic and majestic statue of the golden bull, like the beautiful decoration of the shed and colorful decorations, that's all.

They can say that it is nothing more than a matter of spending money, and the Temple of Heaven is just relying on its solid economic foundation.

For example, the commercial stalls inside and outside the Qigutan have gathered well-known old brands and exquisite crafts, which have completely restored the grand occasion of Changdian in those days.

They can also say that it is the result of the Temple of Heaven relying on the innate advantages of many handicraft factories in the Chongwen District to accumulate too many contacts.

But the appearance of ice cream in the shape of the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, and the costume experience activities of "Burning the Old Summer Palace" and "Listening to the Government Behind the Curtain" in front of the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests.

But they can no longer find reasons and excuses to explain themselves.

It is impossible not to admire the amazing and wonderful ideas of the Temple of Heaven, as well as the ability to plan interactive activities demonstrated by them.

Ask yourself, this is a coup that they can't even dream of, and they can't think of it after racking their brains.

Regardless of other things, just relying on these two methods of raising money, they are not restricted by the New Year's festival at all, and they are not limited to the occasion of the Spring Festival temple fair.

You can eat like this for a long time, and make a fortune once and for all, and you will be much better than them.

For this reason, the secretary and the deputy director felt extremely strongly threatened.

Although they hadn't seen the entertainment area and performances in the Temple of Heaven at this time, it was difficult for them to have any confidence in their own temple fair activities based on what they had discovered.

But the more they were hit, the more interested they were in the Temple of Heaven Garden Party.

In any case, I want to get a peek into the end, and I want to see if there are any bright spots in the content of other parts, so I can learn from it.

This kind of mentality of plagiarism with the intention of copying cats and cats makes them feel even more blush and feel shameless in their hearts.

Look what a mess it is!

Not to mention, as an expert hiding behind the Temple of Heaven, Ning Weimin really lived up to the expectations of the three visitors to the Temple of Heaven.

His breakthroughs in cultural creation and activities did not stop there, and he continued to refresh the cognition of these people.

Take the East and West Hall in the Prayer Valley Altar as an example. The most famous and time-honored brands and manufacturers, as well as the most high-end and delicate products, were all placed here by Ning Weimin.

This point was guessed by the secretary of the Ditan.

But the secretary often couldn't imagine what else Ning Weimin did in order to attract more tourists.

He turned the store, which was originally just a pure transaction, into something interesting that allows the audience to experience and participate.

What's more rare is that at the same time, the peaceful environment in the side hall is maintained, not noisy at all, but more elegant.

For example, in the East Side Hall, there are a total of five old stores, Yunguzhai, Baoguzhai, Qingyuntang, Rongbaozhai and Jingcheng Painting Shop.

In order to match the atmosphere of painting and calligraphy here, Ning Weimin specially invited several teachers and students from two art colleges in the capital to sit here.

In front of the hall, four booths were set up for figure silhouettes, sketch sketches, freehand ink paintings, and paper-cut New Year pictures.

Therefore, regardless of whether they are experts in calligraphy and painting, whether they are foreign guests or domestic guests, as long as they come here, they will almost always be attracted by their solid art skills and familiar skills.

Like sketching, it is one of the basic skills that must be tested before admission to the college students of the Academy of Fine Arts.

It is the minimum requirement to achieve both spirit and form, and the proportion is normal.

Moreover, the official examination time for this project is only 10 minutes.

As a college student who has been officially admitted, if you use charcoal instead of pencil, the efficiency will be even higher.

Drawing a full-body portrait can be done in one go, and it only takes 10 minutes at most.

Silhouette is an extension of artistic modeling ability.

Since it only captures the characteristics of the silhouette of the face, it does not need to consider light, shadow and volume, but it is simple.

At most, it takes only six to seven minutes to cut a lifelike portrait.

Therefore, many tourists are willing to sit for a while, buy a silhouette of themselves for [-] yuan, or take a full-body sketch for [-] yuan.

The painting technique of freehand ink and wash, which is like flowing clouds and flowing water, can especially attract the attention of foreigners.

These blond hair and blue eyes have never seen such a quick way to draw flowers, birds and caterpillars.

Watching the brush smudge, splash ink, and outline, you can draw lifelike creatures in just a few strokes.

They all felt very miraculous and frequently exclaimed.

There are many people who spend three to five yuan to buy one or two photos, and plan to take them back to China with a photo frame as an exotic decoration at home.

As for the New Year pictures and paper-cuts, they are even more popular among Chinese and foreign buyers.

Because apart from the easy-to-understand artistic form and strong decorative effect of these two things, the most valuable thing is that the price is relatively low.

If nothing else, just talk about New Year pictures.

In this year, in the general cognition of the people in the capital, it is nothing more than Baowentang's "every year is more than", "every year is safe", "Yu Chi Gong, Qin Shu Bao", "Shen Tu, Yu Lei" and other traditional styles.

Or it is the New Year pictures of the new society and new themes printed by Rongbaozhai after the founding of the People's Republic of China using woodblock watermarking technology.

Commonly seen on the market, a large folio New Year picture, or a pair of door gods in eight, is sold at a unified price of [-] cents.

However, when it comes to shortcomings, Baowentang's New Year pictures are all popular products, and the subject matter is relatively single.

Again, it was machine-printed with mass ink, causing the finished product to lose its flavor.

Rongbaozhai's New Year's paintings are too strong in propagandizing current events, and the wood watermarks are not bright enough.

Therefore, in recent years, people have rarely bought New Year pictures during the New Year, and gradually got used to the practice of using hanging calendars instead of New Year pictures.

But in fact, there are countless styles of our traditional New Year pictures, and even Baowentang has produced many good ones in the past.

Moreover, only traditional themes and traditional crafts can fully reflect the beauty of New Year pictures.

So this time, in order to win the favor of tourists, Ning Weimin specially invited two professors from the Academy of Arts and Crafts to lead students to re-make plates and restore dozens of old-age paintings.

Hundreds of sheets of each were printed by hand, and they were sold at the garden party together.

The style of these New Year pictures, in addition to auspicious Chinese New Year, getting rich and returning home, more than auspicious celebration, receiving blessings and auspiciousness, fullness of thousands of warehouses, safe cattle and horses, bangs spreading money, and BMW carrying ingots, there are also dramas.

What is Qingdingzhu, Bawangzhuang, Three Kingdoms, Eastern and Western Han, Jingzhong Shuoyue, Shuibo Liangshan, Sun Wukong making troubles in the Heavenly Palace, capturing white chrysanthemum Yan Fei on the empty island, capturing a peach and thanking the tiger in Maozhou Temple, killing a son and rewarding riding a wooden donkey , knife and guillotine Du Xiaoshuan, everything you need.

Because of its exquisite production and uniqueness on the market, although the largest one is only [-], and the price is [-] yuan per piece, it is still popular among tourists.

Foreigners buy novelty, old people buy memories, and middle-aged and young people like the deputy director and driver of Ditan are all fans of storytelling, and they buy personal hobbies.

One person bought "Eight Sledgehammers in Zhuxian Town" and "Shooting the Xiaoliang King", while the other bought "Li Kui Seizes the Fish" and "Wu Song Fights the Tiger".At the same time, Ning Weimin also asked people to demonstrate on the spot.

Using a set of "Spring Cow Picture" woodcut base plate and "Fen Lian Si" paper, it was printed out colorfully.

Although the paper is not good, the bottom plate is also a bit rough with thick needle hemp thread.

But this is only a gift and not for sale, which attracts onlookers and praise.

Let's put it this way, the effect of these four booths interacting with the audience is unusually good, and it can be said to serve multiple purposes in one fell swoop.

It not only made money, gained popularity and reputation, but also popularized traditional Chinese culture and aesthetics, successfully increasing customers' shopping interest.

The sales volume of those old brands of calligraphy and painting can almost double or triple their usual shipments.

Most of them are things they can't sell on weekdays, are they great?

The situation in the West Palace is much better than that in the East Palace.

Because there are enamel factories, jadeware factories, ivory carving factories, gold thread inlay factories, as well as fresh flowers cultivated by Ning Weimin's Donghuashi Material Utensil Factory and Tiantan Greenhouse.

Compared with calligraphy and painting, these things are of course more popular, and the threshold for appreciation is lower, which is easier for tourists to like.

Not to mention those jewels and jade, gold and silver utensils, and treasures in gem bonsai.

The price is too high, few people buy it, and everyone is addicted to their eyes.

However, some of the relatively cheap small objects of these manufacturers are not less sold.

Jade pendants, jade bracelets, jade ring fingers, jade sliders, enamel incense burners, bird and animal ornaments, and gold and silver jewelry.

Among them, the feeder products under Ning Weimin's command and the flowers produced by the Tiantan greenhouse are the most popular.

This really can't be said to be the result of Ning Weimin's false public service, mainly because the cost performance of these two things is too high.

Like a feeder, the raw material is only glass sticks, but it can be made smoother than jade.

Moreover, the technology of Donghua City Material Utensil Factory has surpassed that of the state-run Material Utensil Factory, and the bionic technology is lifelike.

Those finished feeders, whether they are melons, fruit trees, or bonsai birds and animals, are really refreshing to be placed at home.

Chinese and foreign people, whoever sees it likes it.

Besides, there are large and small feeders, complete sets and single pieces.

There are also high and low prices, and there are many choices.

And the preference for flowers is a common need in human nature.

Although the capital is located in the north, the winter is extremely cold and sandy this year.

But it is precisely because of this that the people in the capital look forward to spring more than the people in the south, and they all pin it on the flowers at the beginning of the year.

Putting a pot of narcissus, winter jasmine or wintersweet on the desk has always been a habit of middle-class families and wealthy literati in the capital.

In particular, the capital city has been the capital for hundreds of years. In the past, dignitaries and even the court would spend a lot of money to buy fresh flowers during the Chinese New Year.

For example, "Suihan Sanyou" is planted with pine, bamboo and plum in the same pot, and "Yutangchun Fugui" is planted in the same pot with magnolia, winter jasmine and peony.

Even during the period of the Republic of China, after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the popularity of flower viewing among the banner people remained unabated.

On the contrary, there are more Beiyang bureaucrats arty, and the special consumption needs of foreigners.

This makes the flower planting industry in Beijing particularly developed, and the technology for cultivating flowers in winter is becoming more and more mature.

In the past, in the capital, there were flower farmers living on flowers in the surrounding ten li and eight townships, and this technique has been inherited.

For example, the Tiantan Garden has bred many ornamental varieties this year according to the old method.

Wintersweet, peach, winter jasmine, daphne, bergamot, citron, narcissus, crabapple, offspring pomegranate, offspring grape and other exotic flowers and herbs, green branches and green leaves, colorful, fascinating and refreshing.

Speaking of it, although it is the twelfth lunar month of winter, the flowers placed in the Xipei Hall look more colorful than the three seasons of spring, summer and autumn.

Although Ning Weimin knew that something bad was going to happen in Changchun this year, he didn't get thousands of Clivia to be a sensationalist and attract people's attention.

But the flowers are endearing enough to keep visitors coming back.

Take offspring pomegranates and offspring grapes, those pomegranates and grape beads with slender branches hanging down are more lovable than anything else.

Especially the Lucky Head, which symbolizes many children and blessings, but all the older people are smiling and looking around, looking forward to a bright future.

There is also Daphne, which is the real world famous flower and also a traditional famous flower in our country.

It is called "Lushen" in "Chu Ci", and it is also called Shanmenghua, Qianlixiang and Xuedonghua among the people.

The color of the flowers is not only beautiful, but also the fragrance is the most pleasant, piercing into the sleeves and refreshing.

In winter, if you put a pot in the warm house, there will always be a strong fragrance of flowers, and there will be no more worries about charcoal fire and filth.
So the sale of these flowers is also very good, even if the price is a little expensive.

Especially with the interference of foreigners, some people are willing to invest in the purchase of top-quality flowers even if they cost more than [-] yuan.

It's just that some of the best of these flowers have already been ordered by the altar palace, and they are not for sale.

And once it is sold, there will be no more to make up for on the flower shelf, which will be very unattractive.

So this turned out to be a business for the store to bully customers, and many customers returned disappointed, somewhat regretful.

But the good thing is that the interactive projects here are both beautiful and entertaining, which greatly eased the dissatisfaction of customers.

Ganqing Ning Weimin arranged here one for sugar paintings, the second for sugar figurines, the third for dough figurines, and the fourth for earrings.

Let me talk about sugar painting first, as the name suggests, it is a painting made of sugar.

It is also sugar and painting, and it is appreciable and edible.

This is an authentic folk painting, a distinctive street art, and a craft food that is loved by the common people.

In Beijing, as soon as winter comes, folk artists wearing cotton coats will walk into the alleys, beat sugar gongs, and set up small stalls.

Then, in the crowd of children standing on tiptoe and pawing at the stall.

Folk artists will use the rusty old sugar pot to cook honey-colored sugar, and use a spoonful of shovels to mix the coveted syrup very flexibly, flowing like a painting.

After a while, cotton-wrapped pillars stood on his booth, and various sugar paintings of different shapes were inserted on them, like a complicated and colorful painting exhibition.

The stall that Ning Weimin asked to set up was of a particularly high standard.

The old artist, surnamed Cui, is already over 60 years old. He has been pondering this craft almost all his life, and he is absolutely top-notch among sugar painting artists.

He can not only draw two-dimensional traditional patterns, but also can do three-dimensional sugar paintings, and he is very sophisticated in everything.

Like ordinary sugar painting artists, they also make dragons and phoenixes, goldfish, monkeys, butterflies and so on.

However, the two-dimensional sugar paintings made by Mr. Cui not only include novels, opera characters, auspicious flowers and fruits, birds and beasts, words, etc., but also keep pace with the times and innovate by ourselves.

Like "three turns and one sound" and today's "four major appliances", they are his unique characteristic two-dimensional sugar paintings.

When it comes to three-dimensional sugar painting, it is a unique skill passed down from Mr. Cui's family.

Sugar crabs, sugar dragonflies, sugar butterflies, and sugar grasshoppers are all lifelike.

It is also because of this that he was favored by Ning Weimin, and he was hired as a sugar art master of the altar palace for a long time.

Dai Hong, who went to Maxim's restaurant on behalf of the altar cold food group, shocked the French chef with a sugar flower basket, which was learned from this old man Cui.

Among the many people watching at the scene, I saw that Mr. Cui was holding a large spoon and a small spoon.

After the sugar is boiled, I pick out the sugar with a small spoon to draw, first the wings and then the body, all of which are divided.

After a few pieces have cooled down, take a small iron spoon and burn them red for "spot welding".

Then use small clips to clamp and stitch together, and those sugar insects are really made.

But this is not over yet, Mr. Cui still has an ingenious and unique innovative process.

He took a few spoons and put a few pieces of sour three-colored fruit candies in it, and then used a small brush to paint all the candy colors on those small objects.

Hey, finishing touch!

Dragonflies turned pink, grasshoppers turned emerald green, and butterflies were three colors.

The audience at the scene dared to guarantee that this is definitely the number one masterpiece in the sugar painting world!

This level is comparable to a national art master.

Don't look at it as a snack, to put it bluntly, it's something for coaxing children.

But people are stunned that this folk art has been integrated, and it has become an exquisite thing that is enough to enter the room!
A candy worm sells for two yuan, and everyone is rushing to buy it, and foreigners are not allowed this time.

what's the matter?If you can't afford costumes worth tens of dollars, why can't you afford sugar paintings worth two dollars?

eat?Who is willing to eat!
Set up your home and take a look!
