I am going on a business trip to Germany next Tuesday, and I am going to give small gifts with Chinese characteristics to German business people. What should I buy for around 200 yuan?

I solemnly recommend leaf vein painting to you.

Humans have begun to use leaves to record information a long time ago. If you don’t believe it, there are poems to prove it. The great poet Liu Zongyuan of the Tang Dynasty wrote "Xianzhi". The book of Bayeux in "The Book of Bayeux, Step Out of Dongzhai to Read" is a kind of plant leaf. In addition, Chinese calligraphers in the past dynasties also used plant leaves to write poems and paintings to express their thoughts and express their emotions.

The leaf vein painting we introduce today is also a unique folk painting art in China. It uses the veins of various graceful leaves as carriers to paint traditional Chinese landscapes, facial makeup, flowers, birds, fish and other themes on the leaves, expanding and enriching the rich connotation of traditional Chinese art, and combining vivid pictures with The natural leaves are harmoniously integrated, elegant and natural, with unique charm, giving people a beautiful enjoyment.

The leaf vein painting has a very high collection value. The tree is thousands of feet tall, and the leaves fall back to their roots; the vein painting has a particularly profound meaning. The production of leaf vein paintings requires more than twenty processes. The complexity of the production process further reflects the preciousness of leaf vein paintings.

Let me take a look at the production process of leaf vein paintings:

1. Selection of materials

The raw materials used in leaf vein paintings are all produced during the Beginning of Autumn every year. During the forest planting, yellow oak leaves or other leaves on the sunny side that have no insect eyes, no scars, no old tendons, no maddens and have not turned yellow are selected layer by layer.

2. Fermentation

Fermentation is to put the selected leaves into special containers for fermentation.

3. Remove the meat

After the fermentation is completed, the technicians use patented tools to scrape off the green cortex, retaining the veins, veins and thin transparent flesh layer. The processing process needs to be very careful and slightly If you are not careful, the leaf veins or thin white flesh layer will be damaged.

4. Smoothing

Use a patented tool to smooth the leaf surface to form a thin leather texture. If the temperature and method are slightly improper, the leaf surface will be scorched or damaged, and the leaf veins will be scrapped.

5. Production

The leaf vein painting is light and delicate, like mist and gauze. It has its own style between the intermittent meridians. At the same time, it can draw on the artistic characteristics of different paintings, such as unparalleled splash-ink landscapes. , or charcoal scenery, all can be vividly expressed and exquisite.

After the surface of the leaf vein painting has been treated with a unique process, it is smooth and transparent, durable and simple in color. It is a good product for home decoration or business gifts.
