wedge

In the four-dimensional space of real life, everyone stands at their own point, people come and go in society and intertwine into lines and planes, and memory outlines the most beautiful story trajectory.

Time gradually converges into a pyramid of history, and the flow of art is a brick embedded in the upper part of the pyramid, which absorbs the essence of human activities through the ages, shining with the light of classical aesthetics.

"Dream of the Great Era" is a shuttle between reality and dreams, and it is also a realistic work that writes the Chinese dream.

The Chinese Dream is a big theme, which covers the real life of every ordinary or extraordinary Chinese, and is defined as "realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is the greatest dream of the Chinese nation in modern times", and said that this dream "will definitely be realized".

Creation, especially the creation of realistic themes, is inseparable from art. Because it is originally an artistic summary of social life by the author, it is a literary genre that depicts life events, shapes characters, unfolds the theme of the work, and expresses the author's thoughts and feelings through narrating people's language, so as to artistically reflect and express social life.

The height and depth of the work is the soul of the work of art. Creation comes from life. What kind of person you become can write what kind of person. Social life is the source of literature and art.

The spirit of craftsmanship is meticulous, excellence, and consistency. Three words, twelve words, decades like a day, wholeheartedly do a never-ending thing. Experience the spiritual concept of handicraft producers from ancient times to the present to strive for excellence in their products, as well as the "way of craftsmen" pursued by craftsmen with their work attitude of calm and independence, abandoning impetuousness, practical and diligent, and meticulous workmanship, and thus creating a splendid handicraft material culture. After thousands of years, the "craftsman spirit" and "craftsman way" are a kind of feelings, a kind of persistence, a perseverance, and a responsibility, and this feeling, perseverance, perseverance, and responsibility are exactly what this era lacks and needs.

There is a sentence in the Analects: "There is no desire for speed, and there is no small profit." If you want to hurry, you can't reach it, and if you see small profits, you can't do big things." What is "no desire for speed", from an industrial point of view, emphasizes a kind of focused, refined "craftsman spirit". Meticulous crafting, excellence; We have also heard that in ancient times, there was such a group of people who were meticulous and fastidious about the requirements of the process. This is the craftsman, a kind of product to the extreme, the spirit of concentration as the guideline, with piety and yearning believers, I think this is also the inspiration of the times, the pursuit of generations - in the present, we need to advocate the spirit of craftsmen. The so-called "craftsman spirit" is from the handicraft, is the real fine work,

A good artist needs to have the creative inspiration of a designer, and more importantly, the spirit of a craftsman. He must have an open and inherent thinking, regard work as practice, constantly carve, achieve the ultimate quality, and awaken the vitality of the process. Of course, every innovation is a breakthrough from the old forms of the past, but this is inseparable from the spirit of craftsmanship. Innovation and the spirit of craftsmanship are complementary to each other, those works of art that are deeply loved by people, most of them are based on the skeleton of craftsmen, through silent accumulation and precipitation, innovation of plump flesh and blood.

Abandon impetuousness, tranquility and far-reaching. That is also the so-called calm and indifferent professional state of mind: the outside world is very lively, but I am not easy to blindly follow; There are many temptations in the bright lights, but I stick to my "original intention", everything is "heart", quiet as a field, and as peaceful as poetry. "Quiet energy gives birth to wisdom", "quiet energy produces happiness", the subtleties see the real work!

Because the core of the "craftsman spirit" is: not only to use work as a tool to make money, but to establish a kind of dedication to work, excellence in what is done and the products produced, and the spirit of meticulous crafting, because the craftsman spirit has long become a craftsman's spontaneous behavior of upholding his heart.

The so-called because of its people can do it, because of simplicity and persistence, so as to achieve the realm of pure craftsmanship, decades of focus on one thing, not deviated due to external changes, uphold the nature of the way, do not follow the crowd, from simple to pure, great wisdom is clumsy.

According to the work of heaven and open things, the law is naturally the teacher. In China's traditional handicrafts, there is no lack of craftsmanship, nor is there a lack of artists with unique ingenuity. Through their handicraft skills, they show the world the unique charm of traditional Chinese culture. The utensils have a soul, and the craftsman is humble. I would like to dedicate this series to those craftsmen who have dreams, and thank you for passing on the traditional culture of Da~Zhong~China to the world!
