Chapter 102: Woven Carved Gold VS Filigree Inlay
In the afternoon of the next day, Zhao Ziluo, Xiangling, and Bai Hualin flew directly to Hongjiang. By the time I arrived, it was already twelve o'clock in the afternoon.
Xiangling was surprised along the way, she couldn't figure out how Zhao Ziluo, a member of the music circle, could know a high-end existence in the film and television industry like Bai Hualin, and they talked happily.
"However, what are you asking Bai Dao to come to Hongjiang for?" After getting into the car, Xiangling asked puzzled.
Zhao Ziluo smiled: "You'll know when you arrive." ”
Back in the city, I had a simple dinner. Together, the three of them headed towards the place where the craftsmen were settled.
Driving into the Third Ring Road, the houses gradually have a sense of age, Zhao Ziluo said: "This place used to be the industrial area of Hongjiang, we rented a few floors here, and there was a timber factory and a metal market around the place where the craftsmen lived...... It's here. ”
What appeared in front of everyone was a huge factory.
"This is the former factory area of a fertilizer factory, which was closed and never demolished. I simply set up a warehouse, one is used as a workshop for craftsmen, and the other is used as a storage room for props in future TV series. ”
Bai Birch listened carefully, occasionally nodding.
He's watching.
Let's see how Zhao Ziluo is invested in this TV series.
This investment is not about money, but about hard work.
It's not terrible to cross the line, and it's not terrible to be inexperienced, but if you don't treat your work with all your might, you will never be able to impress him.
After ten minutes of walking, they finally stopped in front of a square building that was twenty meters high.
The walls are all made of red brick, and the walls are lined with large floor-to-ceiling windows behind which you can see craftsmen busy beside the machines.
"They are the craftsmen of intangible cultural heritage crafts?" Xiangling was a little puzzled.
Zhao Ziluo was puzzled: "Something?" ”
"No...... I mean......" Xiangling seemed to be a little incoherent, and sighed after a long time: "I thought they were all well-dressed and well-maintained craftsmen." I really didn't expect ......"
I didn't expect the intangible cultural heritage inheritors of Huaguo to be so ordinary.
Most of them have gray hair, dark skin, and even wrinkles on their faces.
It's like the neighbor's embroidered grandmother, and the old man smoking dry tobacco at the entrance of the village.
At this moment, an angry shout suddenly sounded, and immediately after, a figure rushed to the floor-to-ceiling window and pulled an elderly craftsman up.
It was a Western Continenter.
With blond hair and a tall figure, he held the old man in both hands, his expression was angry, and he kept roaring.
"Justin?" Xiangling looked at all this in amazement, and then immediately said to Zhao Ziluo: "This is the craftsman we dug from the MH Group, he ...... He usually has a very good temper......"
didn't have time to listen to what Xiangling said, Zhao Ziluo had already rushed in quickly.
"Stop!!"
With a loud shout, everyone was stunned, and then they all looked at Zhao Ziluo at the door.
"I'm your boss, my surname is Zhao, what the hell happened?" His gaze swept the scene coldly and fell on Justin: "Let go of him, you say." ”
Justin angrily broke free from the confinement behind him, lifted his clothes, and looked at the old man fiercely.
"Shameless!! Thief! "His Mandarin is not very standard, but you can still feel his anger.
"You're sick!" A Huaguo craftsman said unhappily: "Uncle Li is busy working there, and you will do it to others when you come up, and say that others are thieves, do you want to be ashamed?" ”
Justin Hua is not good at Chinese, he can't speak it at all, and his face is red with anger.
He rushed to Uncle Li's side in one step and picked up what the other party was doing. Angrily: "This! What else do you say?? ”
It was a golden rose.
It has been made for a tenth of it, densely packed, and the strips of gold thread as thin as a hair are entwined, showing luxury.
"This is our Eleanoah's national treasure craftsmanship - weaving carved gold!"
"MH Group's Aiyue Company is headquartered in Elenoa! It's because of this technology! ”
"We usually work together!! I didn't expect you to steal our national treasure skills! What is not a thief?? ”
"Fart!!" Uncle Li is an old man in his sixties.
His hair was gray, he was wrapped in a white towel, and his face was covered with furrows. At this moment, he was also so angry that his body was trembling.
"What a hook eight weaving pattern carved gold! It's called filigree inlay! In the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a prototype, and the gold and silver mistakes of the Warring States Period and the gold and silver flattening of the Tang Dynasty were its predecessors! ”
"The three dynasties of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties were finalized in Yanjing! Become a court tribute. There are eight major methods of pinching, filling, stacking, building, weaving, weaving, saving, and welding! My family was enshrined by the Qing Dynasty Weaving Bureau two hundred years ago! What kind of gold carving do you need?! ”
"What did you say about stealing from you! Maybe your technology was passed down from the Silk Road! Filigree inlay theory is thousands of years ahead of you! Are you me? ”
"You ......" Justin was so angry that his lips were trembling, his fingers kept pointing at Uncle Li, and he turned around for a long time: "I'm not doing it anymore!" ”
"Stop!" Before the words fell, Xiangling was already standing in front of him with a cold face.
She bowed to everyone: "It's a misunderstanding, I'll explain it to everyone." ”
"MH's Aiyue Company is the world's leading jewellery group."
"Gold engraving is a technique that uses the malleability of metal to weave metal like wool. The reason why Aiyue Company has become a top jewelry company is precisely because it has mastered this unique secret recipe. ”
He glanced at Justin: "Justin's father is the descendant of the weaving and carving gold craft. It's been twenty-one years now. ”
"But ......"
"You're really wrong."
She said solemnly: "This is not woven carved gold, but a more ancient technique than woven carved gold, which is indeed called filigree inlay." ”
Zhao Ziluo also picked up the rose and handed it to him: "You take a closer look." ”
Justin took the rose, looked at it carefully, and his pupils shrank.
"Impossible!!"
His voice was raised: "These lines...... How can it be so fine? ”
He couldn't help but bite with his teeth.
Then he gasped, and his gaze at Uncle Li changed.
"This ...... Is this gold? ”
The weaving pattern is carved with gold, which is made by machine.
But with the current machines, it is simply impossible to make gold into a hair-thin strand!
A hair strand is only 60 microns.
A thousand microns is equal to one millimeter!
This process ......
If you look closely, he knows that this is definitely not a woven carved gold.
The weave carved gold is as thin as a millimeter, and the other party's meticulousness has completely exploded his proud ancestral craftsmanship!
A burst of electric sensation rushed to the top of the head, such a slender gold wire can make more delicate jewelry! That's a level that can't be reached by woven carved gold!
The more vivid the details, the more precious the jewelry.
60 micron gold wire...... It is a big change in jewelry technology!
"You...... How did you do that? ”
He finally couldn't help but speak.
"Dumbfounded, huh?" Uncle Li took out a cigarette and lit it, took a deep puff, and patted a piece of iron lump next to him: "What kind of carved gold of yours don't need this thing, right?" ”
The national treasure-level skill was in front of him, Zhao Ziluo couldn't hold back any longer, and walked over to take a look.
It was a piece of iron one decimeter thick.
There were sixteen holes drilled into it.
Each eye is marked with a number.
“260、240、200…… 60? Uncle Li, what does this mean? ”
Uncle Li snorted, like an old farmer, and nodded to the person behind him.
The man walked out and had three points of imagination with Uncle Li.
"This is my son and my partner, Li Sanjin."
The two seemed to have had countless tacit understandings, and Li Sanjin picked up a gold wire and sent it to the hole.
Gold wires are about two millimeters thick, but due to gold's excellent ductility and softness, they can be as fine as microns when they pass through the holes.
Uncle Li stretched out his hand, his hands were full of wrinkles, and there were even many scars.
But these hands like old farmers accurately grasped the filament. And then...... Like a silkworm spitting gold silk, it slowly pulled outward.
The longer you stretch, the brighter you get!
And those threads are the diameter of the gold wire.
"MY GOD......" Justin's eyes were about to fall, and he couldn't help but cover his chest.
"Not really." Zhao Ziluo said with a smile: "If you continue to work in the future, you will have the opportunity to see the finished product." ”
"No...... That's not true! Justin looked at Uncle Li's hand with burning eyes, as if he was looking at a work of art.
"Do you know how fragile such a gold wire is?"
"Even if you use a little more force, it will break!"
"The longer you pull, the more skill you need! He...... He had already pulled more than a meter without shaking his hands! ”
"It's so stable...... It's so stable! ”
"I've got a lot of inspiration in my head right now, and I feel like I can take my technique to the next level! You can create even better works! ”
One person sends, one person pulls, and the cooperation is seamless.
Twenty minutes later, a two-meter-long piece of gold wire appeared on the table.
Justin rushed over quickly, carefully picked up the gold wire, and looked at it in the sun.
"Artwork...... It's a real work of art! ”
"Oh my God...... There are really people in the world who can pull out 60 micron gold wires by hand! It's unbelievable! ”
Uncle Li snorted: "In the past, all the thick and thin gold wires had to be handmade. ”
"Now that science and technology have developed, except for 60 micron machinery, which can't be pulled temporarily, everything else can be pulled."
"This is just the first step."
He raised his chin at the roll of gold silk absentmindedly: "The gold wire that has just been pulled out is called plain silk. ”
"Plain silk has undergone a 'silk rolling' process before it can be used for real filigree inlay...... You say, "It's the same as what you carved gold?" ”
Justin's face flushed instantly.
After a few seconds, he put down the gold wire and said sincerely, "I'm sorry, I was too excited. ”
"I ...... I really didn't expect that Huaguo would have such a magical craft! ”
At this moment, an old lady who was embroidering smiled kindly: "There are many good things in Huaguo, why not this?" ”
She smiled and pointed the cloth that several craftsmen were embroidering towards the crowd.
It was a lifelike kitten.
"Excellent!" Justin didn't hesitate to give a thumbs up.
The embroidery is amazing.
But to talk about shocks.
It's really not as shocking as just now, seeing people pull out micron-level gold wires with their hands.
The old lady smiled slightly.
The stretched cloth was turned over.
“WTF?!” Justin's eyes were about to fall out.
His mouth was wide open, and he rushed over, caressing the cloth carefully.
"How is this possible?"
"How is this done?"
"It's amazing!"
The reverse side of the cloth is not a stitch.
It's a black and white giant panda!
Double-sided embroidery of different colors! Huaguo national treasure level craftsmanship!
"My God......" This time, even Xiangling, who is a Chinese, was dumbfounded.
No stitches.
It's a natural fit.
But the two sides are completely different!
The impact of art, like the tide of the sea, made Xiangling's breathing a little difficult.
She suddenly turned her head to look at Zhao Ziluo, her eyes were like fire: "So, what are you bringing us here for?" ”
