Dad's Pastoral Life

Chapter 205
Speaking of embroidery, Cheng He also knows a little bit. Aren't the four famous embroideries the same as Su embroidery, Shu embroidery and Hunan embroidery?

On the ancient Silk Road, silk products and embroidery techniques brought a lot of foreign currency to the country.During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, if there was a good Suxiu Niang in the family, they would not have to worry about supporting a large family.

It was a great era of silk and embroidery.

However, that great era has passed, and most of the current embroidery products have been replaced by mechanical embroidery, and a small number of fine works are left in the art collection and trading market.

Even many seemingly "fine works of art" are actually forged in large quantities by machines to earn high prices.

Jiang Yutong smiled helplessly: "Nowadays, there are quite a few people who know cross-stitch, but there are probably not many who can name the four famous embroideries. What's more about this kind of local embroidery?"

Looking at the vivid quadruple embroidery in front of him, Cheng He was filled with emotion.

Are these works bad?

No, he was amazed even by a layman, and he really felt that it was worthy of the word "ingenious workmanship".

However, should an industry that is about to be eliminated continue to be passed on?
He didn't have an answer in his heart, he just couldn't bear it.

The old lady Qin Mei spent all her money for the rest of her life, and printed so many books, but no one cares about them.This made him intolerable.

Just now several old artists were talking about this matter with sad faces.

They are probably trying to find a way to help her again?
In fact, she is not the only one like Mrs. Qin?How much can they help?

And judging from the current situation, when will this kind of aid be worth it?
It's all difficult.

Cheng He doesn't understand art, but in his opinion, art must have the ability to circulate in the market in order to be passed on more effectively.

It's hard to stick to feelings alone.

For example, many years ago, people thought that learning to paint and sing was not a proper job, because parents would not allow their children to do it because it would not bring economic value.

But now, painting, music, etc. all have their own profitable industries, so naturally more people learn, and no one objects any more.

The real market determines the industry.

If this old art cannot enter the market circulation, it may be difficult to persist.It is estimated that only a few years later, some afterimages can be seen in the museum.

However, it is not so easy to obtain a market for an industry that is about to die out.

Although Peach Blossom Village is currently a little successful, but most of them continue to be neglected.

For example, shadow puppetry is an old art that has been passed down for more than 2000 years. Some people still talk about it when they mention it now.However, it cannot be inherited now!

Cheng He felt a little uncomfortable. He wanted to do something.After all, the bamboo weaving in Taohua Village turned around only with the help of "nobles".If possible, he also wants to be someone else's "noble man".

He did his best to mentally search his network, to see who might be hooked up with this industry.

After much deliberation, he thought of Guo Bei, the design director of "Beili Clothing".

She does advanced customization, if possible, can you cooperate with this kind of "Southern Pai Dui Embroidery"?Whether it is trying or promoting, there should still be room for cooperation.

He thought this idea should be good, so he went back and contacted Guo Bei on the Internet to see if she was interested.

It would be great if it works.

Cheng He continued to dig deeper into the problem. If this is done, there will still be problems—because Nanpai Duixiu is different from the bamboo weaving in Taohua Village.

The bamboo weaving in Taohua Village has at least as many skilled people in the village.

As for the Southern School of Duixiu, there are only a few apprentices left.Not to mention the apprentices haven't learned yet, it is said that there will be fewer people next year.

How can the industry continue without talents?
Just like shadow puppetry, can we still find a complete art troupe?
Mrs. Qin's training class will continue, and her apprentices must leave the teacher, and then train the next batch.

These all cost money.

Anyway, this is a difficult industry.

"Let me donate." Cheng He thought for a while and said.

"What did you say?" Jiang Yutong asked.

"I donate money, and I may have a way to save this industry." Cheng He said again.

Jiang Yutong was very surprised. Does Cheng He have no projects on hand?Isn't he already rebuilding the whole village and working on a tourism development plan?

She knows how much that costs.

She originally wanted to say: Forget it, let me handle this matter.However, she remembered one thing, and she asked, "Are you...do you want to impress Mr. Lu with your donation?"

Well, this guy is quite flexible.

Although Mr. Lu and the others don't like to commercialize artworks very much, they are very moved when they see someone giving kindness.

This is easy to understand, people have their own pride.For example, some directors who make art films know that they will not make money, and they are unwilling to compromise with commercial films.But they will always like it when they see others doing charity.

She thinks that Cheng He is really good at thinking about problems.

If that's the case, she won't argue with him, as long as he can afford it.

Cheng He smiled and pretended not to admit it: "Don't say that, I have good intentions."

He originally wanted to invite Mr. Lu and the others to present some works to the village, and he was still thinking about how to impress them.

That's right, even if you want to buy a few famous works for decoration, you still have to spend some money.Now, if he donates the money, it will have the same effect—no, the effect may be even better.

In addition, he really wanted to reach out to the Nanpai Tuixiu, which was about to disappear.Taohua Village once took the first step with the help of "nobles".Now he is also willing to be a "noble man".

Over there, Mr. Lu and the others finished talking, saw Jiang Yutong who was whispering with Cheng He, and knew that they were waiting for them, so they came over with a smile and said, "Xiao Jiang, when did you come? Why didn't you tell me, a bad old man?" Are you coming? Is your grandfather in good health?"

Jiang Qian didn't come here today, he has other things to do.

Mr. Lu and Jiang Qian are very good friends, and he is also very familiar with his granddaughter.It's a pity that he doesn't have a grandson who is about the same age, otherwise it would be better to be an in-law.

Jiang Yutong immediately greeted him with a smile, and said, "Grandpa Lu, I've been here for a while. I saw you were busy just now, so I didn't bother you."

Then he greeted Cheng He again, and said to Lu Lao: "Grandpa Lu, this is my friend, Cheng He."

Cheng He took a step forward, bowed slightly, and called out, "Hi, Mr. Lu."

If you are of the same generation, the general etiquette is to shake hands.But Lu's old identity is there, and so is his age, so he is more respectful.

Lu Lao nodded, his face was very kind.

Just about to turn around and leave, Jiang Yutong said again: "Grandpa Lu, I want to ask you, if you want to donate money to support Grandma Qin's career, what is the way?"

Elder Lu immediately turned around and said in surprise, "You also know about this?"

"Well, sometimes I hear my grandfather talk about it." Jiang Yutong replied with a smile.

Jiang Qian also knew Qin Mei's Nanpai Duixiu, and knew that the situation was not very good, but firstly, he was busy with the affairs of Taohua Village, so it was difficult for him to be distracted; secondly, he thought that Qin Mei was still Can last a while.

There are too many situations like Qin Mei's, even if he has money, he can't take care of them all.

Jiang Yutong only heard people talking about Qin Mei's current situation today.

Mr. Lu thought that Jiang Yutong's question meant that Jiang Qian would contribute to the art circle again, so he said, "It's not easy for your grandpa. I won't talk about how many things he has done before. Now he has built an art circle. The learning center subsidizes all his business rewards, how can he be ashamed to let him spend money alone?"

They are really embarrassed, and they can't make a sheep out of wool.

Jiang Yutong said with a smile: "This time it's not my grandfather who donated money, but this Mr. Cheng!"

"Ah..." Mr. Lu was very surprised.

I just took a random look at Cheng He just now, just as if he was an ordinary young man, a good friend of Jiang Yutong, who came here to have a look and play with him.

But it never occurred to him that this young man proposed to donate to the art circle.

Half happy, half grateful, Mr. Lu stretched out his hand to Cheng He and said, "That's really thankful. I didn't expect people in the society to be enthusiastic about withered art. Thank you!"

Cheng He immediately reached out his hand, shook hands with Mr. Lu, and said, "You're welcome, don't be too polite."

Seeing Mr. Lu's grateful expression, Jiang Yutong knew in his heart that there was something wrong with Cheng He!
This kid is too good at handling things.

It is also spending money, but it can do things so beautifully.

Some things are easy to save face.And if you earn face, it will be easier to do more things.

This is a very high profile approach.
