An essay on a craft

On my desk is a piece of artefacts – a yacht. This yacht has a unique shape, exquisite structure and antique style, with the national style of Venice, Italy.

This palatial yacht is made of plastic and is 40 cm long, 10 cm wide and 15 cm high. It is composed of two parts: the hull and the base. The base is conical in shape, red and covered with delicate patterns.

The upper part meets the bottom of the ship. The bottom of the boat is black, the hull is golden yellow, and the bow is pointed. In the part between the cabin and the bow there is a small light that can be loaded and unloaded.

This lamp is used for night lighting. Because this is a craft, there is no real bulb inside the lamp. In front of the cabin there is a bottom bracket with a small hole in the bottom bracket with a dancing figure.

This little man does not look small, but she is finely made, she wears a silver-white short blouse on the top, a red dance skirt on the bottom, and a blue belt around her waist. She dances with her hands up. Her upper body and legs are connected by two brass rings.

The legs hang straight down and hang in the air. The cabin is the main part of the ship, which is a three-dimensional trapezoidal shape, with a semicircular canopy, and the walls on the front, back, left and right sides are empty, and the parts of the ribs are carved with patterns of different shapes. Some of them are fish-shaped, others are ...... like flowersThe form is realistic and lifelike.

It's like fish frolicking in the water, horses galloping on the grassland, flowers blooming among the flowers, and this delicate little cabin can be opened! At the rear, there is a movable screw at the base of each of the two ribs that lifts the entire lid of the cabin. I guess it's the device for the door in the cabin.

When the lid is lifted, you can see a small box inside, and there are rows of small chairs in the box, so that you can sit in the cabin and enjoy the appearance of the floating city of Venice. On the back of the hatch are eight small light bulbs, like upside-down wine bottles, with four colors: red, yellow, blue, and green. At the stern of the boat stood a boatman, wearing a yellow top hat, white trousers, a blue streamer on his collar, a red belt around his waist, a graceful demeanor, holding an oar in both hands, this is the characteristic of the Venetian sailors, who rowed with an oar, and it seemed that he was still very skilled in rowing.

This glittering boat can be used not only as a craft, but also as a toy. There is a plug attached to the base of the boat, and after the hull and the villain are installed, and the power is turned on, the boat can turn in a circle, and the dancing villain will start dancing in a circle. The wall lamp in the cabin also lit up, and then a beautiful ** sounded.

Looking, listening, I felt like I had really arrived in Venice. As a guest of honor, I sat on this magnificent yacht, someone was dancing for me, the boatman was rowing for me, taking me to the magical water world of Venice; Let me enjoy the rippling waterways and the classical stone bridges; Let me appreciate the ancient and splendid cultural ...... of VeniceThis beautiful dance posture and beautiful ** make people intoxicated, like a dream.

This golden yacht is small and exquisite, and it is one of my family's treasures.

A piece of blue and white porcelain that I like.

I have a delicate and beautiful blue and white porcelain in my house.

We bought it back in Jingdezhen, Jiangxi Province last summer, and among all the porcelain, I like this artwork the most. I put it on the shelf at the entrance door of my house, and I can shoulder it as soon as I enter my house.

Most of it is blue, and the rest is ivory. Looking at it from afar, it is delicate and elegant; If you look closely, the blue ones are all kinds of beautiful patterns. Four small sides of the bottle are carved, and the static carving adds some different charm to this blue and white porcelain.

I can't help but admire the makers of this artwork! The size of the four-sided pattern is the same, and the space between one circle and another is very thin and thin. This fully reflects the high skill of the engraver.

I found that there is a word with the same meaning on this side: family and karma, people and things, heaven and earth, inner and outer shun, don't these four words mean harmony and smoothness? Its oval body draws a graceful curve upwards, making the mouth of the bottle bloom into a blooming flower.

On the bottom of the bottle, there are four big characters made by Jingdezhen in regular letters, as if they were printed with a big seal. It's cool to the touch and very smooth. The whole bottle has a classical flavor and a sense of prosperity.

Blue and white porcelain, also known as blue and white porcelain, is made of cobalt-containing cobalt ore as raw material, depicting patterns on the ceramic embryo body, covering with a layer of transparent glaze, and firing at one time by a high-temperature reduction flame. The cobalt material is fired blue, which has the characteristics of strong tinting strength, bright color, high firing rate and stable color. The earliest blue and white porcelain specimens found are from the Tang Dynasty; Mature blue and white porcelain appeared in the Yuan dynasty; In the Ming Dynasty, blue and white became the mainstream of porcelain; Kangxi has reached its peak.

During the Ming and Qing dynasties, it also created and burned blue and white five-colored, peacock green glazed blue and white, bean green glazed blue and white, blue and white red color, yellow ground blue and white, brother glaze blue and white and other varieties.

My hometown Liaocheng is known as the water city of Jiangbei, where not only the scenery is beautiful, but also the culture is splendid, among which the gourd culture was rated as the first batch of intangible cultural heritage in Shandong Province.

There are many legends about the origin of the carving technique of Liaocheng carved gourd, and the folk are more recognized by the monk of the Song Dynasty. Monk Wang, a court artist who is good at painting and carving, has returned to his hometown because of his old age, and returned to the current office of Yan Temple in Dongchangfu District, because the area of Yan Temple was rich in gourds at that time, so Monk Wang carved exquisite patterns on the gourd to raise his favorite grasshoppers. The content of its gourd carving is mainly based on the drama that the common people are familiar with, and there are many emperors and generals, eight immortal characters, talented and beautiful women, etc.

This is the gourd gourd in gourd art.

The processed gourd can be roughly divided into three kinds: one is "a fine gourd", which is made of exquisite materials, finely carved, and the patterns are mainly opera characters; The second is the "two fine gourds", the materials are slightly inferior, mainly fish, insects, birds and beasts and other patterns; The third is the "flower gourd", after the gourd is dyed crimson, there are a few knives with a rough and strong knife technique, and some patterns are engraved on the line and surface. The artistic taste has its own merits, and the local characteristics are strong, and it is very popular among people.

The gourd is not only beautiful, but also has a wide range of uses, in addition to being able to hold medicine, the gourd itself can also be medicine. The gourd is sweet in taste, smooth and non-toxic, and its vines, whiskers, leaves, flowers, seeds, and shells can be used as medicine to treat a variety of diseases.

The gourd is really a multi-purpose handicraft, and it is a pearl of our Jiangbei Water City.

There are a few big white and fat gourds on the gourd vines of grandma's house.

Today is a Saturday and Sunday, and we went to grandma's house. Along the way, Mom and Dad were thinking about turning the gourd into a scoop.

When I arrived at my grandmother's house, my father first brought a thin thread and made a circle from the top of the gourd, and then drew a line along the circle. Dad explained: "When I see this line, it will not be easy to see off."

That being said, Dad saw the first one and failed. It turned out that when Dad started sawing, the light saw, the hoist was not moved, the saw was not fixed, so it was biased, Dad summed up the lessons on the basis of failure, and improved the method after the saw, and the gourd moved with the saw, so that the saw went on that line, and the saw could not be deviated. In this way, a hoist was sawn into two ladles of the same size along its longitudinal section from the middle.

I watched with interest and praised my father for his willingness to use his brains, and he smiled and said, "It's nothing, practice makes perfect." ”

Then it's mom's business. I saw my mother patiently digging out the scoops one by one, then neatly putting them into the pot, pouring half a bucket of water, and boiling them. Isn't it possible to use it when you dig it out?

Why boil it? I couldn't help but ask my mother for advice. Mom said:

Scoops that are not boiled are prone to cracking in the future, and boiled scoops are durable. After the scoop is cooked, the outer layer of skin must be removed and dried in the sun before use. ”

It turns out that there is so much knowledge in making a scoop!

Hulusi 1 Hulusi is also known as gourd Xiao, and the Dai language calls it the mother of the south (the mother of the south of the gourd is the meaning of the gourd silk). Stay in western Yunnan, Dehong, Baoshan, Ruili and other Dai areas, in the Achang and Brown people. De'ang.

It is also more popular. The origin of gourd silk can be traced back to the pre-Qin era, there are many beautiful legends about the origin of gourd silk, such as the Dai folk spread such a story: a long time ago, a flash flood, a Dai family of small Bu Mao picked up a big gourd, through the stormy waves, rescued his sweetheart, his loyal love touched the Buddha, the Buddha put the bamboo pipe into the golden gourd, to the brave little Bu Mao, Xiao Bu Mao picked up the golden gourd, blowing out a wonderful music.

Suddenly, the wind and waves were calm, the flowers were in full bloom, and the peacock opened the screen, wishing the couple auspicious and happy. Since then, the gourd silk has been passed down from generation to generation in the Dai family.

The Dai people are versatile and can sing and dance. In the festival, whether it is rowing a dragon boat in the river or lifting high by the river, or rushing to swing in the square, or drinking in the bamboo building, it is accompanied by the beautiful singing of the Dai people. Hazan (folk singers) sing ancient legends and beautiful myths to the accompaniment of Hulusi, the sufferings of the old society and the happiness of the new society.
