To say that the zodiac knows the most, it belongs to us Chinese, especially the performers handed down from generation to generation. Recently, reporters interviewed many craftsmen in Ji'nan to find the right way to open the chicken.

Dong Fengqi
Dong Fengqi
77 years old Dong Fengqi / > Dong Fengqi, who killed Matt Qi, had been pinched for the years, even when she did not have to eat in the countryside. The craftsman spirit, which only does one thing all her life, is perfectly interpreted in her body. To celebrate the arrival of the year of the chicken, the old man specially created 4 chickens that closely followed the times.
in Dong Fengqi's house, 4 dough chickens are set together with Dong Fengqi's cherished works. A ferocious and energetic chicken, high head and colorful tail, the killing of Matt is the love of Dong Fengqi in two chickens. One yellow, top chicken hair explode to the four sides, and the eyes are full of spirit and the other is covered with black green chicken hair, especially the thread of the red cockscomb. White hair, can not help people to be laughed at the sprout. If two kill Matt to go hand in hand, the exploding chicken must be the eldest brother. There is also a silly white sweet hen, although the shape is common to us, but the small tilt of the small head, showing innocence and purity.
to describe Dong Fengqi's dough sculpture is far from enough. As the only human soup, Dong Fengqi was influenced by his master. He thought that Mr. Tang's face was not called the face, called.Amp; lsquo,.Amp; rsquo, he could show his inner joy and sorrow on a small dough, with a delicate and beautiful dynamic, colorful and beautiful color. She inherits the essence of her master, and in the face of the plastic process, Dong Fengqi always seeks the charm of the work, like the old birthday star, a representative of countless people. In the uneven walnut shell, the old life star leans on the crutches and looks at the audience with a smile. The eyebrows, fingers, folds and even teeth are meticulously depicted. Humor and good charm can also be seen at a glance.
at the beginning of this year's chicken creation, Dong Fengqi wanted to present a variety of Chinese Zodiac chicken different from the usual. To this end, she not only went to the vegetable market, the zoo to observe many times, but also searched the Internet for inspiration. In Dong Fengqi's view, the so-called craftsman spirit, the so-called handicraft inheritance, not unconventional, not unchangeable, but constantly keep pace with the times, create a modern taste of the works, so 77 year old she is still learning, such as the Internet, playing WeChat.
folklore Liu Wensheng
a dozen processes to create a rooster tin pot
mention the tin pot. Can you recall that once the village or the city alley, you can always see a tin maker with a bellows and a small stove? For young people, these are with our parents and ancestors. I am afraid that the old tin vessels, and the flickering details of their old life, I am afraid are very strange. With the development of the times, fewer and fewer craftsmen are building a tin pot for a few days, but Liu Wensheng is one of them.
Liu Wensheng, who lives in rural Shanghe, is a solid grass roots. After several generations of tin making, he learned to play tin with his father at the age of eight or nine, starting from the fire and the tin, until 3 years later, he was independent in making tin ware. Recently, Liu Wensheng also made a cock tin pot to celebrate the new year. As the reporter saw, this tin pot is smooth and delicate, with a silver general luster, the overall sculpt of the cock is concise, the two Ruby eyes are more vivid, and the feather patterns on the body are dense and delicate.
it is very troublesome to make a tin pot by hand. Liu Wensheng introduces it, which requires more than a dozen processes, such as melting, pressing, cutting, molding, hammering, scraping, welding, polishing, chisel, carving, copper decoration and so on, especially this kind of molding pot is more troublesome, even if the skill is skilled, it also needs to be spent. Three or four days. But Liu Wensheng was pleased that more and more people liked the trouble. Not long ago, the tin pot he made was also praised by Wang Wentao, the Standing Committee of the Provincial Committee and Secretary of the municipal Party committee.
paper-cut King Xu Jian
100 paper-cut, 100 Zodiac chicken
known as paper-cut king Xu Jian, and Dong Fengqi hero alike.
the Baihua island in early spring was very cold, but Xu Jian insisted on cutting paper for everyone outside. Even a visitor left the name, only a glance, no strokes, not a few minutes, he cut out the appearance, but also with the writing of the handwriting is quite like, never made mistakes, let the visitors amazed.
Xu Jian's dexterity comes from the accumulation of time. In 1964, he began to contact paper cutting, and later even threw away the iron rice bowl to concentrate on doing this and created the Ji'nan paper cutting art academy. Time also left him a pair of craftsman.Amp; mdash.amp; mdash, because of the long grip, he had thick calluses on his thumb and middle finger, and the ring finger had changed. It is these hands that cut out the traditional Chinese culture and cut out the wonderful world. His "Kowloon map" and "hundred monkey pictures" all won national awards.
every year, Xu Jian uses a ritual to greet the Spring Festival. And this year's ritual of the year of the chicken, he was prepared from the beginning of the year of the monkey year, a full year of time, he created more than 300 kinds of paper cutting related to the zodiac chicken, shape hundred patterns. For example, there is one, far look like a blessing word, look again like a lying chicken, and then look carefully, and there is a chicken and two fish in it, and the words of auspicious, 2017, and so on, and a fowl running at the bottom of the 2017 running. He combines the traditional patterns in Chinese paper-cut with the year. In addition, the reporter also noted that in this year, Xu Jian's works, there are many chickens with chicken works, chicken high spirited, lively chicken budding, lovely.
didn't we launch the second child policy this year? We have to adapt to the times. A little paper cutting contains both the auspicious implication of Chinese traditional culture and the characteristics of the times. He said that paper-cut art, as a folk art, has already formed some fixed elements in the spread of thousands of years, such as Fu, Lu Shou Xi, traditional characters, flowers and birds, twelve zodiac and so on. These elements express people's yearning for a better life and carry the aesthetic taste of the Chinese nation for thousands of years. No root wood, passive water. But these are far from enough. If we want to pass on these folk arts, we must innovate, so that we will not make people feel monotonous and boring.
