I found a shop selling samples of 15 kinds of handmade rice paper online, and I was overjoyed and immediately placed an order. Later I found out that there are only 14 kinds in one market, which is about the same. I used the medium size, which means the total price is less than 30 yuan. After waiting for a long time and due to some reasons, it was delayed by the express delivery for a week. I finally got it two days ago.
After taking a look, they are indeed beautiful and come in various colors. The main ones are half-rare and half-cooked, and one of them is raw and cooked. I tried writing it immediately. Due to time reasons, I also had to show it to the students, so it was just simple. In addition to the name of each type of rice paper, there was only one sentence written on the back piece of paper from Su Dongpo's masterpiece "The Queen" written by Zhao Songxue. "Chibi Fu", among which I accidentally wrote "Zhuhuixuan" as "Zhuizhongxuan". I would like to apologize here. This is the current writing effect.
I use a small regular script brush with pure wolf hair, which basically has this effect. Use Yi Dege's ink. This writing is very general, and you can also see the effect and degree of ink dyeing. There are still some slight differences in the feel. Let me briefly talk about my three feelings after the test and some other thoughts.
There are three aspects. The first is the feeling of handwork. Now is the era of machine industry. It stands to reason that we use machines to be more precise and batch-oriented, but in fact the effect is worse. Why? ? The reason is that our machines are all the same and unit deviations cannot be adjusted effectively, especially in manual work. Of course, we also need to add the labor cost of construction, which is different from the cost of the machine. Therefore, the so-called craftsman spirit we now advocate is also related to this handicraft. The best name is intangible cultural heritage, and the big waves wash away the sand. They are gradually lost in the eyes of consumers.
I remember that my sister and I went to Xi'an, Shaanxi Province to watch a special shadow puppet show. There were several old men performing. The average age was 80 years old and almost all of their teeth were lost. As you can imagine, the show is indeed very exciting, but once these people pass away, they may disappear and the inheritance will be cut off.
The second point is that the good thing about handicraft industry is that it can be less standard and less regular. For example, some of the patterns above can be said to be unique. In this way, there will never be the same thing again. This is also why we Reasons to like. For example, black pottery, many porcelains, these are the same, especially kiln transformation, no one knows what it will look like before you come out, so this is personal creativity, which erases rigidity. Even if a person is a craftsman, he will always have some unique insights and instant inspirations over decades.
In this sense, if you look closely at the specific operation of writing, it is actually an achievement for him. Therefore, why the three major running scripts are all drafts, even with typos and corrections, because he naturally has charm.
The third point is how to control such costs so that craftsmen can produce in batches. It sounds simple but is actually impossible. So in these aspects we draw on ancient wisdom, or like philosophy. In fact, it requires the state and related non-profit organizations to provide them with special care in this regard and provide certain funds to assist the market, because these are unique to us humans, and once they are lost, they will Things that will never appear again, yes, as the book said ("The Passing Martial Arts"), the martial arts is like this, and in fact everything else is also like this, so we cannot express lamentation and hope that there will be something It's not just about building high-rise buildings, making money that is unconscionable is really everything, no matter whether you use the surname social or the surname capitalist to cover up your shortcomings. Our culture including diet. They all need the assistance of our government. This is the easiest to understand, but its price is actually a necessary manifestation of the culture and wisdom of the Chinese people. There is one kind of raw paper that is more smeary, it depends on how you control it. There are also two types of hemp paper and leather, which are too familiar and feel a bit slippery. In addition, batik is also a bit slippery, so relatively speaking I still prefer a bit of blurring effect, which is more conducive to the purpose of moisturizing the ink.
I brought these samples to class when I was in class. It was not that I wanted to touch my hands now, but mainly for everyone to touch them with their own hands and touch them, so as to feel the handwriting. The charm of art, no matter what, I saw that after my classmates saw this thing in calligraphy class, their eyes seemed to have light, so I was satisfied and planted a good seed in their hearts. Thank you for your attention.
