Jinghua Tianjiao

However, everyone here was confused. No one knew what medicine Master Zhong was selling in his gourd.I saw Master Zhong slowly picking up a piece of jewelry, and then said, "The jewelry in these boxes are all antique. It has been nearly half a century ago. In fact, I want you to replace them with these this time." Another reason for the accessories is that after you make the Peking Opera series of silk figures, you will select a batch of cultural and creative products that will be selected for the Beijing Central Axis to be inscribed on the World Heritage List, that is, souvenirs. Maybe you also know that in the past two years, For Beijing, this is the sprint year for the Central Axis to be applied for World Heritage status, and this is also what I just said, that I want this series of silk figures to take a further step forward in terms of cultural value."

As soon as Master Zhong explained it, everyone understood it.All of a sudden, the Central Axis Cultural Heritage application was born again. Du Juandun felt that the responsibility on his shoulders was greater. This was a completely more arduous task.

When Yu Yan heard this, she was interested and said, "If the central axis is applied for as a World Heritage, the silk man can still be used here? I didn't expect this."

"Yes, intangible cultural heritage must be diversified. In the past few years, the application of the central axis as a cultural heritage has always been based on the integration of various cultures. This is especially true for intangible cultural heritage. The Beijing Silk Man and the central axis are part of our old heritage. Beijing's Beijing-style culture should be promoted." Master Zhong said, "For the batch of silk figures you are going to make this time, it will be more meaningful to use these antique ones on the accessories, and its own value will be high. One level higher.”

Master Zhong said so much, but Du Juan still didn't understand the difference between these antique ornaments. It should not only be because of their age. Thinking of this, Du Juan asked, "Master Zhong, I understand the general meaning. These antique ornaments It’s half a century old, so it’s not easy to preserve them to this day, but in this use of the silk figures, do they have other meanings?”

"That's right." Master Zhong said, "It has other meanings. This started when these ornaments were first made. Everyone must have heard of Haitang Poetry Society, right?"

Wen Xin muttered several times, "Begonia Poetry Club? Haitang Poetry Club? I seem to have some impression of it, but I can't remember it."

Master Zhong then looked at Amuna and Gesang, who shook their heads nervously. Then he looked at Li Wei'an, who had been thinking hard. It seemed that the ending was the same as Wen Xin's.

"Isn't "Begonia Poetry Society" a plot from Dream of Red Mansions?" Yuyan blurted out, but it also evoked her memories, "I remember that in 1964, our seniors in the silk industry used No. 30 of "Dream of Red Mansions" Seven times he made this group of silk figures for the "Begonia Poetry Society" at that time, and this group of works was exhibited in Paris. It was very popular at the time, and it seems that it even won the favor of the Prime Minister."

Only Yuyan knows a little about this past event, and the younger generation does not know much about it.Master Zhong listened to Yu Yan's words and continued, "Mr. Ji is right. There were eight silk figures in this batch of "Begonia Poetry Society" at that time, and the ornaments they wore were produced at the same time. It was also because of these silk figures that the Humanoid Research Group was established, which later became the Humanoid Factory, and the title of China Doll was born. It can be said that 1964 was an important milestone in the era of silk figures."

The people in Jinghuafang listened intently, with hot blood flowing all over their bodies.It is something to be proud of when silk people go abroad and become a national gift.Du Juan also knew that the next work would not be easy. She saw that when Master Zhong picked up the antique ornaments just now, the ornaments were loose. It would take some effort to use these ornaments as a match for the Peking Opera silk figures. .

"Master Zhong, when you say this, I understand. In fact, the meaning of you bringing several boxes of antique jewelry this time is different. I also know how to do the next work, which is important for us. It’s a rare opportunity, but I’m still worried that I won’t be able to handle such expensive jewelry.” Yes, these boxes of jewelry have a special mission, and Du Juan is afraid of damaging them, as if the next work is like a A grand restoration of cultural relics.

Master Zhong had already arranged all this. He called to the young men carrying the boxes before and said, "Don't worry, Du Juan. I have arranged everything for you. They are all young cultural relic restorers in the museum. I know What are you worried about? The Peking Opera series of silk figures is innovative and original, and the ornaments used must of course be brand new. These ornaments have been around for a long time, so we need to work together to perfect them and restore them to look like new."

"Okay, once these accessories are repaired, we can re-formulate the assembly plan when we make the silk figures." Yu Yan said the essence of Master Zhong
As a result, Jinghuafang became lively.However, in this proposal meeting, the one who was most moved was Du Feng. He sat at the end and listened, and was shocked again.Master Zhong also noticed him early on. When the proposal meeting was about to end, he looked at Du Feng and said meaningfully to everyone, which could be regarded as a summary, "This proposal meeting was generally a success. Although I followed I don’t have much contact with silken figures and Peking Opera, two industries that I have been paying attention to in recent years. These two industries are innovative with each passing day, and new things appear on the market every day. Of course, I am engaged in cultural relic restoration, and the previous According to your current term, work is like homesteading, but after slowly getting out of it in the past few years, I discovered that intangible cultural heritage is really blooming. But intangible cultural heritage cannot bring us huge wealth, leaving more of a sense of accomplishment. This That's enough. Just like when I restored cultural relics in the Forbidden City, when an old cultural relic is restored to its original appearance, that sense of pride comes with a mission. You are already doing great things in this business. This is a kind of courage. .”

Master Zhong was encouraging everyone. Du Juan thought that the silk ornament she made was rejected, but she didn't expect Master Zhong to give everyone a big turn.Even though the ornaments she made were no longer useful immediately, Du Juan felt that this proposal was more meaningful.Until she returned to Jinghuafang, Du Juan was still talking about it with everyone.

During this proposal meeting, Yu Yan, as an old silk craftsman, was also touched by Master Zhong.She had mixed feelings in her heart. It was already very good that silk art could reach this point. When she first started working in this industry, she did not expect that silk art would develop into what it is today and could be integrated with various popular events.At this time, Yuyan most hopes Xiufen can see all this.Thinking of this, she felt inexplicably lonely.

After returning from the Peking Opera Theater, the distance from the alley entrance to my home felt so far for the first time.Every step she took was heavy. When she arrived at the door, she specifically looked at Xiufen's house. After such a long time, was she at home or in a nursing home?I haven’t seen Xiufen in a while.

After being in a daze at the door for a long time, Yuyan entered and was about to close the door when Xiufen appeared in front of her. The old best friends looked at each other for a long time.The two weeks Xiufen was in the nursing home felt like years had passed to Yuyan.
