There is no lace in this world, or rather, there is no big week now.
The idea of this lace decoration is not the same as that commonly used in Da Zhou, especially the lace set is mainly in solid color, which can express the purity and flawlessness of the bride in foreign countries, but in Da Zhou, only mourning clothes will be completely white.
But beautiful things are beautiful, the lace is beautiful and slender, and there are many patterns, and Qin Brocade's eyes lit up when he saw it.
However, she was very measured, and did not ask Xu Wen where he got it, but thought seriously about his question.
In fact, even in this world, the phenomenon of losing skills happens from time to time.
For example, embroidery.
Embroidery is very popular in Da Zhou, and almost all women do. Even if you can't embroider beautiful embroidery, most people can sew a button and mend a small flower.
As a result, it is often known for its excellent embroidery and breakthrough innovations.
But this technique is also very fragile, and if later generations do not learn it, it will be lost, and only the work will be left for people to admire, in which the technique can no longer be replicated.
At the end of the day, there is such a thing as handicraft technology, which is very personal and private. Essentially, everyone's technology is different and there will be subtle differences. This individuality and humanity is its most beautiful and its most vulnerable.
There are also some unique jobs located in small local villages, which cannot be walked out, and there is no record, so they disappear silently.
If it weren't for the work left behind, you wouldn't even know it ever existed.
Handicrafts are people's lives and their lives.
A skill cannot last forever, just as a person cannot live forever.
But it can still be done by thinking of some ways to extend its lifespan.
The key is to find out what is wrong with it and know what is wrong with it.
The problem with this lace set is obvious, and Qin Brocade can see it at a glance.
It is similar to some advanced embroidery skills, which is difficult to learn and difficult to make.
If it is difficult to learn, the threshold will be too high, and if it is difficult to make, the production time will be relatively long, and in the final analysis, it will not be cost-effective.
In particular, embroidery people have a mass base, and everyone will like it.
What about this lace set? No one knows about it, and it's a bit taboo.
Therefore, Xu Wen is not wrong about this root, it needs to be simplified, so that more people can easily use, learn, and produce.
Just like embroidery, everyone can do it, and this root will not break.
However, Xu Wen's next request made her a little puzzled.
"Do you want to simplify the tools, simplify the techniques, you want a purse to be able to fit, the handle can be knitted, and you want to be your own object, not just for decoration?"
"Yes, the trick can be relatively simple, but the technique should also be simple, and it is best to learn it without being taught, with illustrations. ”
They were eating when they were talking, in fact, the Qin family had a habit of not saying anything, but Xu Wen and Ni Tianyang were too busy, and they often had to talk about work when they ate, and Qin Zhijin gradually got used to it.
Qin Zhijin held the rice bowl, looked up and pondered for a while, and said, "I kind of understand what you mean, do you think it's the same as embroidery, ordinary girls can wrap it with needle and thread, and they can weave something casually?"
"Also, I want it to be a gadget, a novelty little toy for the girls, buy a pack and go back, and you can make a small thing out of it. The small things that beginners make up may be a little simpler, and they are not suitable for decorating on clothes, but if they can be made into finished products and given to close friends in the boudoir, isn't it also interesting?" Xu Wen changed his way and said his thoughts.
"It's interesting. But when you buy it, you can let the store tutor, isn't it more convenient?" Qin Zhijin affirmed first, and then raised his own questions.
"What if they didn't buy it themselves?" asked Xu Wen.
"Oh, do you mean a rich lady, ask Yahuan to buy it on your behalf?"
Xu Wen didn't mean this, but he said vaguely: "There is also such a possibility." ”
"That's it......" Qin Zhijin thought thoughtfully, holding the bowl for a long time without speaking.
"Eat first. Ni Tianyang sandwiched a piece of fish meat for her and advised.
"Hey!" Qin Zhijin immediately smiled, and said to Xu Wen while eating, "You let me think again!"
To promote something, you have to popularize it first. Although the real craftsmanship of the lace set is still very complex and may be lost, things are dead and people are alive. As long as someone goes to do it and thinks about it, new tricks will be designed.
The same is true of artisan skills.
After eating, Xu Wen continued to teach Qin Brocade this skill from another world.
Qin Zhijin is a real master of weaving and embroidery, she thinks while learning, links the weaving and embroidery techniques she has mastered, and takes the initiative to design three or four sets of patterns.
Then she shook her head and said that this was not easy enough, and wrote them down with a pen and paper.
Xu Wen looked at the patterns on the paper, and suddenly his eyes flickered, as if he saw a tree.
As time passes, the tree grows, with dead leaves falling and new young leaves sprouting.
In this era, there is a balance between dead leaves and young leaves, and trees are growing healthily.
In his time, there were many dead leaves and few young leaves, so the trees were somewhat endangered.
Trees have their own lifespan, but strengthening their roots may allow them to live longer.
Then give it a try.
Xu Wen is also learning to refine swords.
When he brought it up to Xie Linghuan, Xie Linghuan seemed a little surprised, but her expression was always faint, and she couldn't see any emotion.
She promised quickly, and when she agreed, she taught as much as she could.
Xu Wen's desire to learn this was not a whim, and according to the pre-planned process, he should also start learning metal craftsmanship now.
After all, his learning time is too short, and his realm is very high, but the types of skills he actually mastered are still limited.
Although Lian Tianqing said that Tiangong does not need to be exhaustive, and there are indeed similarities between various categories, Xu Wen still wants to learn more.
There are many things that you can really understand only when you have practice.
In his realm, he can learn any skill very quickly, and the same is true for sword refining.
The speed of his learning and his ability to draw inferences from one case to another are so strong that even Xie Linghuan would show expressions of surprise and admiration from time to time.
Of course, she could see that Xu Wen had indeed not learned before, and even knew many basic terms and skills, but as long as she was a little bit, he would immediately understand the reason and find the most suitable way to work.
It is worthy of the legendary heir of heavenly craftsmanship.
Xie Linghuan couldn't help but think in his heart.
It's interesting to say, two different worlds actually gave Xu Wen the same positioning.
This is not to say that he eats or anything by relying on the fame of his master, but in such an environment that pays attention to inheritance, everyone is imagining, at such an age, with such ability, what kind of master can teach it?
That must only be the legendary heavenly workmanship.
However, Xu Wen also found it very interesting when he was studying.
This is the second time he has studied art in modern times, and the last time he learned stone carving from Meng Ping.
Compared with Meng Ping, Xie Linghuan has taken a step further and integrated more modern technology.
After all, stone is still stone, but modern steel is already very different from ancient times, and there are so many things to learn and reference.
Moreover, the Xie family combines traditional craftsmanship with modern craftsmanship, and the ideas and methods of improving the previous technology are also very interesting.
Now there are many masters in Fengchun New Town, and there are many of them in iron smelting and smelting. Xu Wen also learned some things over there, and in turn taught Xie Linghuan a lot. Xie Linghuan was overjoyed, and it was the first time Xu Wen saw her show such an obvious expression.
And this kind of old technique really helped her, Xie Linghuan thought for a moment, then went back to the furnace, and then hammered down with his hand, and struck it.
Xu Wen looked at her thoughtfully.
Then the next time, when he was exchanging techniques with the master in Fengchun City, he mentioned it as if at random: "Speaking of which, my master left me a homework to restore an ancient mansion. I think it's interesting to take it out and discuss it. ”
