2022-10-28
Lingnan is a hot land with profound historical deposits. Lingnan cultural treasures represented by intangible cultural heritage have been inherited and developed with the persistence and innovation of generations of artists and craftsmen. After years of baptism and test, they have shown new charm. In recent years, the "activation" of intangible cultural heritage has become a hot topic. How can young people pay attention to and understand intangible cultural heritage? How to make intangible cultural heritage rejuvenate? In Guangzhou, a group of "post-90s" young people engaged in the art of intangible cultural heritage are injecting the spirit of the times into the intangible cultural heritage culture through their creativity and ingenuity, so that the intangible cultural heritage culture can enter people's daily life. Looking for the possibility from the intangible cultural heritage to make Guangcai integrate into daily life, "10000 strands of gold thread weave white jade, and spring flowers fly on the silver porcelain surface." Guangzhou gold woven porcelain with a history of more than 300 years, originated in the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, and its porcelain firing technique is a classic representative of glaze painting. In history, Guangcai was once a commodity exported to the West. A large number of Lingnan cultural elements were depicted on it. Guangcai has also become one of the important carriers of Guangfu culture. More than 300 years passed, and Guangcai was once forgotten by the younger generation. Fortunately, in recent years, young people who love the local culture of Lingnan have begun to deeply study the production techniques of Guangcai, so as to inject more fresh elements into Guangcai. He Weijing and Cai Sizhe, the "post-90s" lovers who are the principals of "Continue Guangcai", are the representatives. They constantly create new products on the basis of traditional Guangcai production, hoping to make Guangcai close to people's daily life. He Weijing, who grew up in Guangzhou, became attached to Guangcai since childhood. He Weijing's mother has been engaged in the production of wide color crafts for more than 40 years. He Weijing is deeply impressed by the exquisite works of her mother and her predecessors. In the college graduation design, He Weijing chose Guangcai as his work, and created his own brand of Guangcai, making jewelry, coasters and other life oriented Guangcai works. Born and raised in Shantou, Cai Sizhe, like He Weijing, majored in visual communication in college. When he first saw the works of Guangcai, Cai Sizhe, who loved Chinese culture, hoped to understand the charm of Guangcai through creation: "To design and make a Guangcai work by hand, we can better understand the subtle details implied in Guangcai." With their love for Lingnan traditional culture, He Weijing and Cai Sizhe got to know Guangcai step by step, and began to think about the relationship between Guangcai and people, and life. He Weijing thought: "Historically, Guangcai was a commodity exported to the West, and for people at that time, it was a commodity for daily use. As time passed, Guangcai seemed to be separated from people's lives. In fact, Guangcai was not just a work of art, it could be integrated into our daily life." With the spirit of bold innovation, Cai Sizhe and He Weijing made a number of practical Guangcai objects, exquisite and contemporary earrings Necklaces, pendants, tea cups, etc. are refreshing. "In the face of Guangcai, which has a history of hundreds of years, before innovation, we should first respect tradition, lay a solid foundation in learning traditional skills, and accumulate the foundation for innovation." In Cai Sizhe's eyes, by copying and making classic works, we can find a breakthrough for subsequent creation. Focusing on the daily life of Guangcai, infecting the audience through the originality of the works, and making more young people know Guangcai and understand Guangcai, which is the direction they have been striving for.
