paper / reporter Wang Qian / our correspondent Dai Wei Yang Chonghua pushed open a flat room with less than 10 square meters in the small courtyard. He skillfully put a spliced wooden carriage part on the tool, hand a file, and began to grind in one hand, and the rusty red wood began to float in the house. Li.
Yang Chonghua, who grew up in the carpenter's family, began to think over 30 years ago to inherit the craft of his ancestral Trojans, and never thought he could get a lot of attention like this.
at the end of 2012, Yang Jia Mu shop - the art of making old wagons was selected into the fourth batches of Ji'nan municipal level, and Yang Chonghua also has his own ultimate desire to open a museum of Trojans, to show the chariot from pre Qin to liberation before the public, so that more people can understand the traffic culture. In the wood pile and the shaving sound, he grew up to learn the ancestral craft, "the Yang family is a carpenter's family. From the late Qing Dynasty, grandfather Yang had only gone north to escape the famine, and did not go to the East three provinces, and fell in Beijing, by the craft of carpenter's carpenter, the Beijing Tianqiao opened the plough of the Yangjia." Yang Chonghua put his back on the chair and spoke proudly about his ancestral inheritance. Yang Lao Zi set a family training to the family: to be a man and to do things by his own ability, "listen to my grandfather, the grandfather in Beijing often has a palace or a large family of people to repair, make some small pieces of small and seven pieces of small things, slowly words, and then when the carpenter art people of big households are busy, they will find the old grandfather to help do one Some fine work. It is such an opportunity that Grandpa learned to make two kinds of objects with palace skills: the official carriage and the Wen pot. It has been the fourth generation for me. " Later, Yang Youcai returned home in his hometown and reopened the Yangjia wood shop in Nangang son. "At that time, Han Fu car laid his nest and forced the poplar wagon to patrol the market. I was glad to say" Yang Jia Mu Pai "four words." So far, the plaque is still hanging in Yang Chonghua's studio. Later, the family began to make an ornamental miniature pony car for remembrance. "Later, Grandpa handed his skills to Grandpa, who lived on his grandfather's carpentry life." Like all the traditional handicraft shops, Yang's wood shop is a factory in front of the front shop. Yang Chonghua's childhood is grown up in a pile of wood and chisel. "With Grandpa, they do a small job, a bench, and no special teaching." Seeing the Trojan car replaced by a car, he didn't want to lose his ancestral skills. "I watched the carriage and the ground car disappear. It seemed to be the moment that the street was all the car." After growing up, Yang Chonghua had his own job, and became a family with his descendants. But after the reform and opening up in the 80s of last century, he saved his mind for his ancestral skills. "Although the carpentry skills of the family are still there, there is basically no way to build a coach. Grandpa's official carriage technology, so throw away? I do not willing to, grandpa is more reluctant. In this way, Yang Chonghua bought objects such as plane, chisel, drill, angle square, ruler and so on, and wanted to pick up the skills of making mini Trojan horse again.
Yang Chonghua's studio contains three works, a chariot, an aristocratic car and a farm car. Each is refined to 50 times larger than that of a fully functional vehicle. The seat wood in the car can be taken down, the empty place can be put in books, daily necessities, and other parts of the chariot's umbrella are completely restored according to the pictures on the archaeological books. In his studio, Yang Chonghua picked up part of the wheels that had already been done. Two curved wheel parts were joined together, but they were very active. "The teachings of the ancestors are that they can not use nails without nails, no glue without glue. A car can be counted down with more than 500 pieces of spare parts, and they have to be grind well by hand. Use their sockets. The tenon principle is stitched together. " The handmade skill is the most important part of Yang Chonghua's inheritance, and the most difficult one is not the carpenter's work when first picking up the ancestral craft. "But the historical data of the carriage, even the shape of the carriage, how to restore them?" from the 80s of the last century, the Museum, the library, and the study of folklore The home of the car and horse Museum in Xi'an and Linzi became the main job of Yang Chonghua's first few years on Sunday and his leisure time. "I thought," I thought I had to restore the traffic and transportation that had been in history, which was the emperor, which was a chariot and which was the common people. Let the posterity be able to see and touch. " At that time Yang Chonghua's grandfather was still alive and saw him willing to pick up the craft of the carpenter. "Grandpa was not only happy, but also served as my coach, at any time, and grandfather gave me a skill without reservations." It is to like this handicraft, want the apprentice to inherit free to carry on Yang Chonghua to take a cartwheel to carve a wheel, put on the body on the size, "this is called 'magnifying sample', do a carriage not only delicate, but also coordination, and then delicate if it looks uncomfortable, and can not be a good work." So when he made a wheel, he first drew the cardboard and then carved the wood according to the big sample. "It takes at least half a year to finish a car. If the vehicle is more complicated, only one car can be produced in one year." In the hands of such fine work, Yang Chonghua said that he was a rough line person, "the spring festival that several days, I prepared two days of food, in the studio for two days do not go out, and sometimes from the water pipe to receive two cold water drink." He groped for an ancient chariot that he was doing, and said, "the Trojans can measure the size of the parts of the Trojans, which can't be a few cents, but only this' like ', it can't be measured." I didn't want to be famous and did not sell the works. Yang Chonghua said that if there were so many distractions at that time, I would not be able to walk today.
when it comes to the inheritance of Yang's art, Yang Chonghua says this is a knot in his mind. "Every person who has a project has this knot. It's hard to find a student and find a student who is willing to learn a little talent." Yang Chonghua drank the mouth water, he said that making Trojans girls and children are not suitable, "not from the heart like, quiet and not down, now many people hate to move from here to move there can change money, can be too little mind." Yang Chonghua said he was planning to go to the Shandong Technical Academy for 35 students recently. "Teach free for free, looking forward to finding the right child to show up."
