Re: Ji'nan marmoset artisan Yang Fengyan: I want to pass on the monkey culture.
"just started playing." There was nothing to play at that time, and I was a very playful person. All of a sudden, I remembered my grandma doing this technique before making a monkey. The theme of Yang Fengyan's first monkey work is about love. "For the first time, I made three macaques, one of whom was excited with roses, which was a successful marriage proposal. Another woolly monkey who was asked to marry was shy with his head down, and a monkey was depressed in the corner with a withered rose, which was a failure of marriage. In this way, Yang Fengyan's Mao's road began. Soon after, he sent the wool monkey's work to a pair of friends who were in love, and he had no hope for a good friend. He took this monkey's work into the palace of marriage.
the monkey has done much. Yang Fengyan is no longer satisfied with doing two monotonous works, instead of doing some "story" with themes and scenes. In his words, he began to learn to express human life with monkey's thought. "A great saint married me for three months, and more than 20 monkeys did not have the same form of facial expression. It is the real scene of marriage. " Yang Fengyan said that many of his inspirations are real life epiphany, and his own monkey is also a reflection of his life. "For example, this chess game, three monkeys, a chessboard. Expression movement is that I play chess in accordance with the community, you see this drum drum, a look is not good. There is also the monkey standing in the middle, holding his mouth to say and not saying it.
up till now, Yang Fengyan has done more than 100 kinds of monkeys. "There are sports and other forms of sports, such as performing arts and literature, and the most varied forms of market life."
