Seeing everyone looking at him, Ying Xuan was stunned, but still said very calmly: "No, I haven't learned cloisonné." ”

The master nodded and smiled: "Maybe Xiaoyou doesn't know much, in fact, we have practiced the innovation of cloisonné, but the impression left by the whole process is that it is dying and dying, why do you know?"

Ying Xuan shook his head.

As a "royal stunt", the cloisonné craft has been far away from the lives of ordinary people since its birth, and this diaphragm still exists today.

casually picked up a cloisonné copper tire next to him and handed it over, and the old master smiled: "Like this utensil, the filigree alone will be busy for several months." ”

Looking at the cloisonné pattern on the copper tire, the copper wires of about one millimeter were processed into undulating moire shapes, densely arranged on the copper tire, and there were thousands.

And that's just one of the patterns.

"Cloisonné is only one of the easier processes, after the completion of the weld into the 600 °C-800 °C high temperature furnace, to burn twice, and then acid treatment, after the treatment can enter the blue coloring stage. The master stretched out his hand so that everyone could see his deformed fingers: "The process of acid treatment is simple to say, that is, the copper tire is put into the water and constantly rinsed, but our hands are deformed because of the perennial soaking in water, and the joints are deformed, and it hurts very much when it changes." ”

The hands were indeed scarred and cracked.

But this is not unusual, many traditional crafts are very hard, tired or not, basically not too many craftsmen will care.

What they care about is the joy of the soul when the culture is passed on.

"Actually, it's not tired or not, it doesn't matter if I've been doing it all my life, I'm a person who has been half-cut into the loess, and I don't have anything to fear of pain. The old master faltered, and waved his hand vigorously: "But little sir, cloisonne is not as good as your wood carving, if I can have a descendant like you willing to learn from me, I am not afraid of tired......! There are only four of them. ”

This ratio is really sad for those who hear it.

"Take Bei Yan as an example, those who are doing cloisonne now are considered young people in their fifties. In such a situation, I can't help but feel that the master is not worried: "In this case, I also want to innovate, but we can't keep up with the trend, the trend is clear, maybe today's popularity, after a while is not popular, and we make a cloisonné, less than a month or two, more than half a year, where will the popularity wait for us?"

Perhaps, before the thing is finished, this thing is no longer in fashion.

Obviously, the cloisonné skill has fallen into a crisis in terms of inheritance.

This is not even comparable to the third jade e, and the crisis of cloisonné is not even something that can be thought of overnight.

Its continuation requires the persistence of generations, if not generations.

"If that's the case, it's even more important to innovate. Ying Xuan laboriously explained: "Cloisonné not only has a complicated process, a long production cycle, high cost, and the practicability of the product is also very poor, these conditions, all restrict its development in the market, in this case, we must strive to study a new way out, but I looked at all the exhibits, these patterns and shapes or something, basically there is no big change, the same feeling." ”

There may be many people who are amazed by the profound historical and cultural accumulation of cloisonne, but very few people are willing to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy a finely crafted cloisonne bottle.

What's more, it's all the same, and you will always get tired of watching it every day.

It's like if you eat seafood once in a while, you think, ah, it's super delicious, but if you eat it every day, you eat it every day, and you will get tired of it one day.

The words are not rough, although Ying Xuan's words are not good, but they are indeed the truth.

The faces of everyone present were a little ugly, but they still had to agree with his statement.

"You see, this Fulu Jubilee, flowers, birds, fish and insects, and even the color is almost the same, how can it attract people? If a handicraft can be unique, I think its value will be greatly increased. ”

Taixiao everyone followed the direction of his finger to look, indeed, a large piece of handicrafts, the shape of the pattern is not too undulating, looking at one alone is very beautiful, but after putting it together, it is not particularly outstanding.

There has been no new blood injection for a long time, and there has been no innovation, and I have been eating the old book, can I not "linger and die"?

Because Lu Zi'an was always listening with a faint smile, everyone finally understood that their master-apprentice relationship was not ordinary, and they also began to look at Ying Xuan seriously.

"Then what does Mr. Ying have of opinion on this?" a senior executive looked at him very sincerely: "I would like to hear about it." ”

Ying Xuan thought for a while: "First of all, we must be based on the fundamentals, the biggest problem of cloisonne at present is that it is too elegant, ordinary people can't afford it, they can afford it, it's useless to buy it back, I think it's best to design some daily necessities, such as tea cans, storage boxes, etc., it's not bad to use as gifts." ”

As soon as he said it, Ying Xuan gradually came to inspiration, and reached out to pick up a small bottle: "In the long run, if cloisonné wants to have long-term development, it still has to cater to the market demand. ”

No matter how you use it, someone needs it first.

What is the point of relying on the pity and love of a small number of people for traditional culture and selling a few products to maintain turnover?

Seeing that they were still ready to discuss again, the old master said decisively: "Just talk about not practicing fake tricks, Mr. Xiao will demonstrate and demonstrate?"

“……”

The scene was quiet, and then everyone came to the spirits.

"Yes, yes, Mr. Ying is young and promising, and his understanding and cognition of craftsmanship are also ......"

"Mr. Ying is extremely talented, presumably ......"

"Especially with Master Lu's dedicated guidance, it must be ......"

All kinds of tall hats instantly stunned Ying Xuan.

No, it's just a matter of discussing with each other?

Why did the painting style change abruptly?

"It's not...... I ...... "Every time he wanted to veto, someone quickly praised him and blocked back what he said.

Ying Xuan wanted to cry and looked at Lu Zi'an, who was standing aside with a smile, and suddenly understood why the master had not spoken since he spoke.

He's stupid, he's really stupid!

This is simply digging a pit for himself to jump, no wonder the master doesn't speak at all!

"Master......" he looked at Lu Zi'an in distress.

Lu Zi'an smiled, and said lightly: "Since everyone says so, then you can give it a try." ”

No way?

Ying Xuan rushed the ducks to the shelves, and he was a little unable to come back to his senses when he was pushed to the workbench.

No, he won't do it at all!

Master...... "Help!
