Chapter 1268 Yanjing Eight Wonders
After the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the artisans who made the filigree enamel paintings were passed down from generation to generation orally until today.

In the past, cloisonné enamel was mostly used on utensils, but with the improvement of skills, different production methods have evolved.

One of them, the flat filigree enamel glaze art combined with calligraphy and painting, is also emerging quietly.

This art is called cloisonné enamel painting, that is, cloisonné painting.

Cloisonné enamel painting is a special painting art form that transplants enamel techniques to drawing boards.

Its main material is imitation gold wire and enamel glaze.

This art form not only breaks through the limitation that cloisonné can only be attached to copper tires, but also expands the enamel technique to a flat carrier and makes it produce a three-dimensional effect.

It has high ornamental value, collection value and humanistic value.

The core process of filigree enamel painting is filigree and dot blue.

On the basis of hand-made in accordance with the ancient methods of the Ming and Qing imperial courts, it combines modern oil painting, color inlay and other Chinese and Western expression techniques.

Made of alloy wire and natural mineral gemstone powder, it is purely handmade.

After hundreds of complicated processes such as design, drawing, filigree, indigo, and cover, it is produced.

The craftsmanship of cloisonné enamel painting originated from the two major crafts of cloisonne and filigree inlay in the "Eight Wonders of Yanjing", which are well-known both at home and abroad.

You must know that Yanjing Bajue is not simple, and they all belong to the ranks of intangible cultural heritage.

Among my country's national intangible cultural heritages, the "Eight Wonders of Yanjing" is a well-known stunt.

It refers to the eight unique skills that gradually formed after the end of the Qing Dynasty and the craftsmen of the Qing Palace Internal Affairs Office were scattered among the people.

Eight unique techniques including gold lacquer inlay, filigree inlay, cloisonne, ivory carving, jade carving, carved lacquer, Beijing embroidery, and palace carpet.

Among them, the skill that Chen Wenzhe had skipped before, that is, jade carving, and the others are just superficial.

This time, he continued to study the cloisonne technique, or in other words, the cloisonné enamel technique, so as to learn the eight unique skills from the court.

It is not difficult to learn this technique, because now some people gather together eight kinds of heavy weapons.

The most important thing is that there are detailed records inside the Suihou Pearl.

These palace treasures, which are expensive in materials, intricate in craftsmanship, and extraordinarily gorgeous, are gathered in Yanjing Bajue Museum.

It can be said that Yanjing Bajue has fully absorbed the essence of folk crafts from all over the country, created a new peak of traditional Chinese crafts, and gradually formed the characteristics of "Jingzuo" court art.

In 2010, for the first time, the inheritors of Yanjing Bajue and Bajue Eight Skills joined hands to establish the "Yanjing Bajue Art Museum" in Cheng'en Temple, a thousand-year-old temple located in SJS District.

In 2020, the Art Museum will be upgraded to "Yanjing Bajue Museum" and will be officially opened to the public in 2021.

This intangible cultural heritage theme museum has more than [-] pieces (sets) of wood carvings, root carvings and other fine arts of "Eight Wonders of Yanjing".

It is especially worth mentioning that the museum adheres to the concept of "living inheritance" of intangible cultural heritage, and based on the strategic concept of creating a "contemporary manufacturing office", gradually builds a cluster of Yanjing Bajue master studios.

They combine the beauty of imperial architecture and the exquisite court skills of Yanjing Bajue to create a high-end platform that focuses on displaying the national intangible cultural heritage project "Yanjing Bajue".

If it is an ordinary person, seeing the work of these masters gathered together is to watch the excitement.

However, in the eyes of Sui Hou Zhizhu, the situation is different. It can record all stunts from beginning to end through backtracking.

Moreover, the records are detailed, and even a lot of video materials that have disappeared in the long river of history are recorded in it. These are all experiences, but they are all real inheritances without any hidden secrets.

For example, what Chen Wenzhe is looking at now is the technique of gold lacquer inlay.

In this museum, the audience can not only appreciate the Yanjing Bajue court art masterpieces in the museum, but also taste and experience the intangible cultural heritage skills in the master studio.

If Chen Wenzhe wants to make filigree enamelware, he must learn filigree inlay, but this technique is not so easy to learn.

If you want to learn, you must have a channel, because in Yanjing Bajue Museum, there is such a stunt display.

Every time the museum opens, in the master studio behind the exhibition hall, the representative inheritor of the national intangible cultural heritage gold lacquer inlay and painting technique will create some works.

The video Chen Wenzhe is seeing now is a master making a cabinet door.

He uses the "flat gold and black" technique in the gold lacquer inlay painting technique, and sticks gold leaf on the lacquered object.

This technique has always been used by the royal family, and it was quite mature in the Yuan Dynasty.

The Paint Bureau in the Yuan Dynasty, the Orchard Factory in the Ming Dynasty, and the Manufacturing Office of the Qing Palace Household Office all laid a solid technical foundation for the development of Shendu lacquerware.

Due to the noble temperament and unique aesthetic feeling of lacquer, some areas also call lacquer gold lacquer, and lacquer ware decorated with lacquer is called gold lacquer ware.

The combination of lacquer and gold, such as tracing gold, pasting gold, mud gold, searching for gold, sweeping gold, sprinkling gold, and pinching gold, etc., also strengthens people's awareness of lacquer as gold lacquer;

Many techniques on it, such as gold tracing, gold pasting, gold sweeping, gold sprinkling, and gold sealing, can also be used universally on porcelain, especially on gorgeous cloisonné.

The "inlay" decoration process is done on the "gold lacquer", and the combination of the two processes is called "gold lacquer inlay".

The inlay technique can certainly be used on cloisonné enamel, and it is also widely used.

In terms of materials, there are jade inlays, colored stone inlays, mother-of-pearl inlays, and treasure inlays.

The pendant made by Chen Wenzhe before was inlaid with red agate stones. This is the inlay of colored stones!
In terms of technology, there are flat inlay, corrective inlay, and three-dimensional inlay.

If it is on wood, there are more manifestations of this craft.

Molded with wooden tires, painted with lacquer, and then using decorative techniques such as inlaying, carving filling, color filling, piled up ancient cover lacquer, carved ash, flat gold open color, broken grain, carved lacquer, gold and silver, and cover lacquer on the lacquer base.

There are thousands of types of chariots and horses, ceremonial guards, royal utensils, screens, plaques, tables and chairs, and tray boxes.

These crafts can be used alone or comprehensively. There is me in you, and you in me, and the artistic expressions are rich and colorful.

Shendu gold lacquer inlay directly inherits the production skills of palace lacquerware.

And through continuous innovation and improvement, it has gradually formed a BJ style with fine workmanship, solid quality, various varieties and elegant style.

In recent years, the Yanjing Bajue Museum has held more than [-] "Yanjing Bajue Chengen Cultural Inheritance Lectures", bringing skill performances into the community.

At the same time, the museum joins hands with Yanjing Bajue Association and many masters of arts and crafts to promote Yanjing Bajue court culture.

They went to many countries and regions, and promoted the excellent traditional Chinese culture represented by Yanjing Bajue in a wider range.

It is also because of this that the Pearl of Suihou in Chen Wenzhe's hands has the opportunity to use his ability to trace back all the skills of Yanjing Bajue, right?
