Re: Ji'nan marmoset artisan Yang Fengyan: I want to pass on the monkey culture.
monkey was originally originated from Beijing and became famous in the Daoguang Dynasty in the Qing Dynasty. It was a drugstore, a drug dealer, who was determined to retaliate after being scolded by the book room. So in the evening, four herbs, such as Hayi, cicada, Bletilla Bletilla, and wood Tong, were used to shape a "book room gentleman", which was the origin of the monkey.
Yang Fengyan's craftsmanship was handed down from his grandmother Wang Yuting, who was also the founder of the Ji'nan hairy monkey. "At that time, the conditions were limited. Only during the new year, grandma would do two things to play for the children at home." "My father was a man who liked to draw calligraphy," Yang Fengyan recalls. "He did not begin to touch the craftsmanship of the hairy monkey. He also made a lot of innovations. He tried to draw the background of the story and tell the story in the form of Mao monkeys."
Ji'nan monkey has developed into Yang Fengyan's generation, and has played its own unique innovation. "Many theme sheets are difficult to achieve by virtue of traditional hairy monkey techniques. Therefore, I specially studied dough sculpture, sculpture, scene design and other courses. Yang Fengyan pointed to a "monkey dinner" monkey's work on the cell phone, and put the picture to the biggest, on a plate with only half the size of the nail cover, and the dishes were clear at a glance. "This is a fried pork belly, this is tomato eggs. These are all the techniques of the face plastic. "
"always have to innovate, like a singing play, the eight sample play is good, no pattern, and not good. Traditional things are good, but we must constantly absorb advanced culture. " Yang Fengyan said, "to read books without inspiration, try to show the story in the form of a monkey."
