Chapter 181: A Booming Career, Another Four Million Orders!
Now that Sino-Japanese friendship is over, I don't care about the fact that my grandfather was killed by them back then, but we must not forget what blood they shed because they are developed and their material life is good.
Although the island nation has a high respect for master craftsmen and a high social status.
The identity of a professor like this is unimaginable in Huaxia!
Naturally, there must be a heartbeat.
How old is I, I was a professor in a developed country in my early twenties, and if this honor is transmitted to China, it will be much more fryer!
From ancient times to the present, many crafts in China and island countries have the same origin, but the treatment of craftsmen is too different, in the ancient cultural traditions of the land of China, it is emphasized that everything is inferior, only the reading is high, the gentleman is not a weapon, and the craftsmen's camp service is some strange skills.
For example, the best period of Chinese Buddha carving art is the Sui Dynasty of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Dunhuang and Longmen are representatives of Chinese art, but later after the Tang Dynasty, it is not as good as the development of the island country, because the craftsmen of the island country and the craftsmen of China have completely different treatment, the ancient Chinese craftsmen rarely leave their names, almost all of them can not leave their names, inheritance and deeds are also impossible to verify, the big Buddha of Longmen Grottoes is very beautiful, but there is no record of who did it.
In contrast, the names, biographies, inheritances and even masterpieces of the famous craftsmen of the island country can be left behind. The ancient craftsmen of the island country are all sects, taking Yunqing as an example, he is the master of the "Qing School", he has Kangqing, Cheng Dynasty, Kang Dynasty, Kang Zhu, Lai Zhu and other craftsmen passed down from generation to generation, and he has Zhanqing, Kang Ben and other disciples after him. At that time, there were other schools in the island country, such as the "Yuan School" and the "Yuan School", which were also passed down from generation to generation.
The legendary master craftsman Yun celebrates more than 70 years of life, and the representative works of various periods can be seen in this special exhibition.
However, Chinese wood carving is very cultured, but these cultures are the inheritance of its wood carving culture that no one can say.
As a generation of grandmasters, Yunqing has created a glorious era in the history of island crafts. The recognition of society and economic security have enabled the disciples and grandchildren of Yunqing to continue this skill and spirit and pass it on from generation to generation.
But Huaxia has almost no such treatment.
For example, how is it possible to give the title of the professor to the craftsman now?!
Teaching around the world is also the lifelong pursuit of tens of millions or even more teachers, but compared to being a scholar, Zhang Xingxing is temporarily more interested in the life of a rich man.
Because Zhang Xingxing is now addicted to making money.
Nothing seems to stop him from chasing wealth.
Coming here, Zhang Xingxing is here to make a lot of money.
Conquer the people of the world with wood carving products.
Of course, Zhang Xingxing will not say that, but said very dignifiedly, "We in China since ancient times is the culmination of wood culture, wood carving, wood art, wood architecture, wooden furniture is full of left and right, and then in modern times, China has more than one civil strife, foreign troubles, nationality status plummeted, and many brilliant traditional cultures withered, I will strive to carry forward our wood handicrafts again as a descendant of China, so that the people of the world can see our precious cultural heritage." ”
"Zhang Jun's ambition is magnificent, my previous practice was to slander Zhang Jun's ambition, here, I sincerely apologize to Zhang Jun. Professor Yamada bowed again.
Zhang Xingxing straightened his chest and said quite forcefully, "Professor Yamada, don't say such things to me next time." ”
"Confession, shame, shame. ”
However, the exchange with Professor Yamada on handicrafts gave Zhang Xingxing a more comprehensive understanding of the wood handicraft market in the island country.
In the previous life, it was the market cognition, and their wood carving products sold well in the island market, which was superficial, and this time it was a deeper cognition in theory.
Island wood carving originates from Chinese wood carving, and many aspects are the same, which is why Chinese wood carving sells well in island countries, because there are many common aesthetics.
For example, for the cognition of wood, wood is vigorous, it is warm, has a charming fragrance, and the touch is very textured, which is the basis for everyone to like wood carving, wood is spiritual in China and Japan, wood is textured, and different unique styles of wood carving can be carved from different textures, but African wood carving is completely different from the Asian wood carving system.
African wood carving does not deliberately pursue the realism of the image but uses the overall freehand technique, the two eyes on the face are nothing more than a small hole poked at random, the mouth seems to be inadvertently pulled out of an opening, the nose is summarized into a simple geometric shape, the shape of the body only takes its potential to go to its shape, and the exaggeration of the headdress and ears seems to be an artistic conception between man and god.
This kind of freehand technique, not seeking the realism of the appearance, not focusing on the depiction of details, looking at the part, seems very casual and simple, but on the whole, it reveals a lively and fresh inner life, but this kind of wood carving works in the Asian market is definitely not good.
European wood carving is also different, European and American wood carving likes to have no normal human form, no complex movements, and no multi-figure composition, but through very exaggerated and deformed techniques.
This is also the fact that Chinese wood carving is more popular in Asia, but not in Europe and Africa, because this is a cultural and aesthetic difference.
After the first batch of orders was sold, the remaining orders continued to be processed in full swing in China, and Mitsui Hachiei of Sumitomo Corporation once again added a large order of 2,000 sets to Zhang Xingxing, which was an order worth 4 million yuan.
Over there, more and more old artists in Dongyang County have become familiar with the carving of Buddhist shrines, and the production speed over there will be faster and faster.
Zhang Xingxing sent a telegram, asking Liu Tingkai to add three more factories to recruit the remaining rural labor force in Dongyang County, he should try his best to give full play to the master, free the master from unnecessary processes, carry out the fine carving part, and the other parts that do not need any fine carving, and use ordinary labor force with the process.
In 1981, Zhang Xingxing's wood carving factory expanded at an unprecedented speed, and nearly two-thirds of the old wood carving artists in Dongyang County were invited to the new wood carving factory in Pengbu Town.
This naturally attracted the attention of the county, in addition to Zhang Xingxing's private wood carving factory, as well as the town collective enterprise repair society wood carving factory also received greater attention.
After receiving the order at the Canton Fair, Director Zhu applied for the expansion of the factory, which was approved.
Two major wood carving factories are developing rapidly in Dongyang County.
The time that Zhang was happy to look forward to when he was reborn was done, so that Dongyang County took the lead in developing the wood carving industry, and now the wood carving industry in Dongyang County is striding forward with an unstoppable momentum.
