Chapter 028, learning bamboo weaving
"Okay, ladies and gentlemen, in the next few days, I want to learn the craft of bamboo weaving from my grandfather, and I will broadcast it live at the same time, and strive to let everyone know more about the skills of bamboo weaving. ”
After going around Lion Rock, Ye Ziqi also shared some stories about how he played on the mountain when he was a child, and at the same time, he also recalled some things that he had forgotten, and he was in a very happy mood.
It was already past four o'clock in the afternoon when he returned to his grandfather's house, and Ye Ziqi saw his grandfather holding Junjie just out, and he couldn't help but think that when he was a child, his grandfather used to hold him like this.
"Grandpa, do you want to take Junjie for a spin?"
"Well, I'll take Junjie for a walk, don't let him watch TV all the time, it's not good for his eyes to watch too much. Grandpa nodded and said.
"Dad, you go too. After Junjie saw Ye Ziqi, he stretched out his hand to him and said.
"Okay. Ye Ziqi took Junjie's other hand, turned his head to the live broadcast room and said, "Lao Tie, I'll be here for today's live broadcast." After studying for many years, I haven't accompanied my grandfather for a long time, so I will accompany my grandfather for a turn today. ”
The environment around my grandfather's house, the leaf stage is familiar, and the same is familiar with those neighbors, and many people still remember the leaf stage.
"Uncle, this is the baby of the third sister's family, right?
"Uncle, I'm the third. Ye Ziqi still remembers this person, who lives next to his grandfather's house on the side of the road, is his grandfather's own family, and is a cousin with his mother Li Yuqin, so he calls him uncle.
"Hey, the third child of the third sister's family, I heard that you went to college, and I haven't seen you come back for a long time. The uncle hurriedly replied happily, it was rare for the doll to remember himself, and he hurriedly made a noise.
"Yes, I have been studying outside all these years, and I rarely go home, but I came back not long ago to stay with my grandfather for a few days. Junjie, call your uncle. Ye Ziqi replied with a smile.
"Uncle. "Junjie is very well-behaved, and he will call people when he teaches him.
"Oh, what a clever boy. Is this your doll?" The old man smiled so much that his face bloomed, and he asked the leaf stage.
"No, this is my eldest brother's baby. Uncle, I'm not married yet. Ye Ziqi hurriedly said.
"Oh, it's Qiangwa's son, he's so old. "The uncle seems to have a better memory of the eldest brother and can still call his name.
Because the eldest brother stayed at his grandfather's house for five or six years when he was a child, he has not gone out all these years, and he often comes to visit his grandfather, so the neighbors around him are more familiar with the eldest brother.
Subsequently, the three generations of grandparents walked slowly along the road, and from time to time they met a neighbor, they would stop to chat a few words, and most of the older people remembered what Ye Ziqi looked like when he was a child, and they all said that his appearance had not changed much.
My grandfather seemed to enjoy the process very much, he usually lived alone, although he also went out for a walk every day, but there were only a few words of greeting with the neighbors, but there was not so much gossip to talk about.
It can be heard that the neighbors are still very envious of their grandfather, and the children are all in good families, they are still healthy when they are so old, and their grandchildren are so promising.
"Huh. Good, good, good. Grandpa smiled all the way, he didn't say much, just happy, and the old man's joy overflowed on his face.
It wasn't until it was dark that the three generations of grandparents returned home, and his grandfather teased him with Junjie, told him stories, and made dinner for Ye Ziqi.
He didn't start a live broadcast, and the time he spent with his grandfather was warm, but it was also short-lived, so he cherished it very much.
Dinner was also relatively simple, Ye Ziqi steamed the rice cakes he bought today, and his grandfather and Junjie sat there and ate several of them one by one, and then they didn't eat too many meals.
"Grandpa, is it difficult to weave bamboo tools? Do you think I can learn it?" Ye Ziqi chatted with his grandfather while eating.
"It's hard at first, but it's a matter of learning. When I was nine years old, I started to learn from you every day (my maternal great-grandfather), and at first I couldn't learn, and I made a lot of cuts in my hands, and then I learned to grow a snack. Third, you have read books, you can learn. Grandpa recalled.
"Is there a lot of bamboo weaving skills? What are the weaving methods?" Ye Zi period is like returning to his student days, concentrating on learning from his grandfather.
"Well, there are a lot of patterns for weaving bamboo, like all kinds of patterns, as well as words. When I was younger, I also knitted a lot of patterned bamboo furniture, and it was not cheap to sell it.
Some people have to ask me in advance to make up the things they want to use when they get married, but it takes more time to make up the patterns, and the requirements for the eyes are also high.
I haven't made up patterns for more than ten years, first, my eyes are a little old, and second, my hands are not strong enough, so I can only make up some rough work and sell it for a few dollars. "Grandpa talks about these spirits.
Ye Zi listened to his grandfather during the Ye period, and found that the traditional bamboo weaving skills in my country are really very rich, there are dozens of weaving methods, and all kinds of exquisite bamboo tools can be made, and some can even be called handicrafts.
The bamboo weaving process mentioned here usually refers to the coarse silk bamboo weaving process, that is, directly weaving into a variety of bamboo utensils with bamboo strips, and there is a kind of filament bamboo weaving process that specifically refers to the bamboo weaving process that is woven outside the ceramic products to protect the ceramic utensils.
Coarse silk bamboo weaving technology is widely used in many regions of China, and people in different regions have created a variety of artistic characteristics of weaving technology.
Common coarse silk bamboo handicrafts include bamboo mats, pillows, various baskets, baskets, and various rural utensils, which have strong usability and are usually used as various daily necessities.
The next morning, his grandfather took Ye Ziqi to the back mountain to teach him to choose bamboo, and Ye Ziqi opened a live broadcast, and at the same time recorded it as material for post-production works.
"Ladies and gentlemen, from today onwards, the anchor will begin to learn various bamboo weaving techniques from his grandfather, although he can't learn as good as his grandfather, but it is also a tribute to traditional culture.
The first step in the bamboo weaving process is to choose the right bamboo, so my grandfather took me to the bamboo forest to choose the bamboo that can be used for weaving. He said to the audience when the leaf period started.
Subsequently, he did not interact with the audience too much, but walked around the bamboo forest with his grandfather, and in the leaf stage, each bamboo grew similar, but in the eyes of his grandfather, it was different.
"Grandpa, is this bamboo okay?"
"This one can't do it, there is a scar on the middle part of it, and the bamboo strip that comes out will break. Grandpa looked up and said.
"The bamboos used for weaving should be grown for more than two years and less than five years, and their surface color is cyan, and some are a little darker.
In addition, the whole bamboo should be straight, bent in the middle, and clean, with no insect marks and no scars on it.
In addition, the bamboo should not be big or thin, if it is too big, the bamboo will be more brittle, if it is too small, the elasticity of the bamboo is not enough, and it should be the size of this water cup. "My grandfather taught the leaf period while selecting.
