The place where the two of them were standing was the straw weaving art exhibition area. Straw weaving technology has a long history, and with the development of history, the technology is getting better and better. With the improvement of production level, straw weaving craft has developed from practicality to artistic appreciation value.
In recent years, straw products seem to be gradually coming back to life through online sales channels. Although they are not popular enough, they at least give people hope.
"This little man is pretty well made, but it's actually made of straw?" Chen Jiang looked carefully at the little straw man made in the exhibition cabinet. There was almost no trace of straw on the little man's face. He got closer and took a closer look. , only to discover that the villain’s skirt and face are woven with extremely fine grass silk, so that the villain’s face is lifelike and the skirt is elegant and vivid.
"It seems... a bit interesting." Chen Jiang commented dryly, "It's pretty good-looking."
"In ancient times, there were craftsmen who used gold wire to weave incense balls, and no one could see any flaws. Now this technique is nothing." A woman wearing glasses, about 40 or 50 years old, walked in Come over, she is wearing a navy blue cotton skirt, elegant and friendly.
Hua Jin saw that this person looked very similar to the photo of the exhibit producer, and asked with some uncertainty: "Are you... Teacher Sun?"
"Teacher Sun, I'm a handicrafts person, just call me Auntie Sun." Seeing that Hua Jin and Chen Jiang were both young people, Teacher Sun smiled and said, "It's rare for young people to be interested in these old crafts. "Today this exhibition is not open to the public, and those who can get tickets are not ordinary people. But people with tickets may not be interested in this kind of event. Some people do it for the mission, and some people do it to broaden their contacts. Those who really like traditional handicrafts and want to study them are probably only a few old experts who are already old.
As soon as Hua Jin was about to speak, she heard the instructor bringing more than ten middle-aged men and women in strict attire. The instructor talked about the origin and development process of each traditional art. These visiting representatives nodded and smiled from time to time. But perhaps only they themselves know whether they are really interested in these exhibits. Hua Jin's eyes scanned the group of visitors and found that among these people there was an acquaintance, Pei Yan.
Compared with other people who nodded frequently, Pei Yan had an expressionless face and didn't even look at the commentator, but he looked at each exhibit with the most serious look. Maintain the most basic respect for the exhibits.
"This is the embroidery exhibit area. Leaders, please go this way and be careful of the slippery ground." The guide led the visiting representatives to the embroidery area. "As we all know, embroidery is one of my country's famous traditional handicrafts. It has a history of two to three thousand years. The most famous embroidery types include Su embroidery, Hunan embroidery, Guangdong embroidery, Shu embroidery, etc. The embroidery in our exhibition area is mainly Su embroidery and Hunan embroidery..."
Pei Yan looked at the embroidery in the exhibition area and suddenly thought of Hua Jin. I wonder if she came here today?
“Embroidery is a very difficult craft, and it takes a lot of time and energy to make a finished product. As people’s living needs increase, machine embroidery works have replaced manual embroidery. But no matter how machine embroidery develops, The agility and soul of artificial embroidery can never be replaced by machine embroidery. Please take a look at this screen, which uses double-sided embroidery technology. Its sophistication cannot be achieved by machines alone."
There are many exhibits in the embroidery exhibition area, ranging from large screen ornaments to small velvet flower handkerchiefs, all with embroidery craftsmanship. Pei Yan carefully looked at the works of these contemporary masters, and vaguely felt that Hua Jinxiu's works were no worse than them.
He tilted his head slightly and saw Hua Jin in the far corner. What surprised him most was that Chen Jiang was standing next to Hua Jin.
How did Chen Jiang get to her side?
Remembering Chen Jiang's habit of courting beautiful women, Pei Yan frowned, turned around and walked out of the crowd, walking towards Hua Jin.
Seeing Pei Yan coming this way, Hua Jin raised her hand and shook him slightly: "Didn't you say you can't come?" As a result, not only did he come, he also enjoyed VIP treatment.
"This building belongs to me. I provided the place for free. The organizer insisted on inviting me to come. I can only give them face." Pei Yan yawned and hung the sign on Hua Jin's neck. , "Here, here it is, go and listen."
Hua Jin picked up the sign and looked at it. The word Pei Yan was written on it. She couldn't help but roll her eyes. She took off the sign and threw it back to Pei Yan: "My name is not Pei Yan."
When Pei Yan walked this way, Chen Jiang quickly moved three or four steps away from Hua Jin, so as not to let Pei Yan think that he had any undue thoughts about his girlfriend.
Pei Yan greeted Teacher Sun with a smile and turned to look at Chen Jiang expressionlessly. Chen Jiang laughed twice: "I'm sorry, I forgot that my cousin is still waiting for me. Goodbye."
Meng Tao, who had been forgotten for a long time, looked at Chen Jiang running towards him with very complicated emotions. Did he think of his cousin at this time?
"Teacher Sun, my friend and I are going to look around. You are busy." Hua Jin saw Teacher Sun looking at her and Pei Yan with a half-smile but not a smile. She felt that she might have misunderstood their relationship, so she smiled helplessly. Nowadays, there are more and more unmarried single men and women, but others seem to like to pair people up. As long as young men and women stand together, many people will subconsciously think that they are lovers.
She glanced at Pei Yan, who was still looking at the straw woven artwork, and couldn't help but drag him away, so she had to continue smiling at Teacher Sun.
Teacher Sun smiled gently: "I noticed you when you came in just now. Are you very interested in traditional handicrafts?"
"You are kidding me. I am a Sichuan embroiderer myself. It is rare to have such an opportunity, so I came to take a look." After finishing speaking, she looked at the exhibition hall where there were not many people. "It has given me a lot of knowledge. ”
"Shu embroidery?" Teacher Sun glanced at Hua Jin in surprise. Such a young girl is actually willing to engage in this industry?
"I have an old friend whose family is Suzhou embroidery. She opened a studio and raised more than a dozen embroiderers. She can only survive." Teacher Sun sighed, "She herself is here "Bian, if you have the opportunity, you can discuss it together." Although the embroidery types are different and the styles are different, they have something in common. It is rare for young people to be interested in this industry, and seniors like them can help.
"Thank you, Teacher Sun." Hua Jin handed her business card to Teacher Sun with both hands. "This is my contact information. You are welcome to contact me at any time."
"Fanhua Studio?" Teacher Sun looked at the name and address of the studio on the business card, "Are you also a studio owner?"
Hua Jin smiled sheepishly and said: "There are actually only four people in the studio. The two teachers are older. Basically, it is me and another friend."
"Embroidery is time-consuming and labor-intensive. How can we survive with just two people?" Thinking of the current situation of the traditional handicraft industry, Teacher Sun couldn't say much. Continuing to ask would only add to the trouble. Thinking of this, she smiled and encouraged, "I wish your studio will get better and better. With you young people here, our traditional handicrafts will have more hope."
"Thank you." Hua Jin expressed her sincere thanks. If the traditional handicraft industry wants to continue to be passed down, it must innovate and stabilize its position in the rapidly developing society. Fortunately, many people in this industry are aware of this problem and are looking for changes.
Farewell to Teacher Sun, Hua Jin and Pei Yan walked to the embroidery exhibition area again. Pei Yan said: "I think these embroideries are similar to those you embroidered."
"Compared with this master, my stitching skills are far behind." Hua Jin shook his head honestly, "His embroidery stitches are dense, with no flaws visible, and the colors he uses are smart and beautiful. With my current His embroidery skills are less than half that."
"Still somewhat self-aware." A thin-lipped man with fair skin and a shirt stood behind the two of them with an expressionless face. "The embroidery patterns on this round fan were made by the famous embroidery master, Mr. Xu Yan. He Proficient in various embroidery techniques, an embroidery piece can sell for more than one million. The phoenix robe in the historical movie last year that aroused countless people's amazement was embroidered by him himself."
"No wonder it's so exquisite. It turns out to be Mr. Xu Yan's masterpiece." Across the transparent glass cabinet, the surprise in Hua Jin's eyes almost solidified, "But why is there no Mr. Xu's famous brand here?"
The man's eyes were filled with pride: "My master said that although the embroidery is personal, the beauty brought by the embroidery should belong to everyone. It is enough that the embroidery can bring joy to others. Deliberately emphasize his name."
Hua Jin sighed: "Mr. Xu, you are so righteous. I didn't expect you to be Mr. Xu's disciple, I made you laugh."
The man smiled reluctantly: "Actually, what's the use of posting the name? Except for those in the industry or those who are really interested in embroidery, who cares who the owner of the embroidery is."
As soon as these words came out, the smile on Hua Jin's face was slightly stunned. Yes, in this industry, you can't be too eager for fame and fortune, otherwise you won't be able to sustain it sooner or later.
"Didn't you just say that you wanted to take a look at the wood carving exhibition area?" Pei Yan put his hand on Hua Jin's shoulder, "Let's go."
Hua Jin:......
Forcibly dragged away by Pei Yan, she wanted to turn her head and look behind her, but Pei Yan put his hand on top of her head, "What are you looking at? Do you want to go back and listen to others show off?"
"That's Master Xu's disciple. Even if you listen to him showing off, you're still talking about the thigh pendant." Hua Jin covered her face, "I'll post it on Moments when I get back." If it weren't for taking photos here, she would have I took out my phone and took nine consecutive photos.
"You know someone with my golden thighs, and I haven't seen you showing off on WeChat." Pei Yan snorted coldly, "What can a disciple of a master have to show off?"
"You don't understand this. If I show off that I know you in the circle of friends, others will be envious and jealous, and they will say that I smell like copper and am not related to rich men. If I show off that I am a disciple of Master Xu, It's different. Others will only think that I am passionate about embroidery and have a sincere heart to pursue traditional art." Hua Jin patted Pei Yan's hand on her shoulder and said, "I am young and innocent. , how can people mistakenly think that I have nothing to do with a rich man?"
"Your analysis is very clear." Pei Yan gritted his teeth and said, "Aren't you afraid that showing off as a disciple of Xu Yan will lead to ridicule and hugging others?"
"Cuddling the thigh of a famous embroidery master, can that be called hugging the thigh? That's called pursuit." Hua Jin shook his head, "You don't understand the world of art."
"There will be a cultural relics exhibition that is not open to the public next month. There are many palace concubines and noble clothing on display. I originally planned to get you two tickets, but what you just said reminded me that I People like this who don't understand art should not cause trouble." Pei Yan was half a head taller than Hua Jin, and when he stared at Hua Jin expressionlessly, he seemed to be scorning a mortal.
"Although you don't know much about art, your pursuit of art is very beautiful." Hua Jin looked at Pei Yan with a smile, "Whenever next month, if you are bored, you can call me Together with you, men and women are matched, and you won’t be tired of doing anything.”
Are you not tired of anything you do?
Pei Yan raised his eyebrows and chuckled: "Come here."
Hua Jin covered her chest and whispered: "Let's talk first, I am innocent and I work hard to perform, not to sell myself."
"Selling yourself?" Pei Yan raised his eyebrows even higher, "Am I going to spend money and suffer a loss? We are together, and we don't know who is taking advantage of the other."
Hua Jin:......
Forget it, for the sake of his handsomeness, I won’t argue with him.
Pei Yan brought Hua Jin to the VIP lounge: "You can take pictures here."
"Huh?" Hua Jin looked at him puzzled.
"Give you a chance to show off your golden thighs. There are not many rich people like me who are good-looking and pursue art." Pei Yan sat on the sofa and leaned lazily "Remember to select the circle of friends to be visible to all."
"Really want to take a photo?" Hua Jin took out her mobile phone, approached Pei Yan and said, "This is what you asked for."
Pei Yan squinted at Hua Jin, what did she want to do?
Hua Jin put her head next to Pei Yan, took out her mobile phone and opened the beauty mode, adjusted a few angles, and only after making sure that she looked beautiful and elegant, she posted the picture in her circle of friends.
Fanhua: I met a rich and handsome beauty and asked how I can become a pendant on her thigh. I am waiting online. It is quite urgent. 【Picture】
Clicking send without hesitation, Hua Jin turned to look at Pei Yan: "Don't forget to call me at the exhibition next month."
Looking at Hua Jin's shining eyes, Pei Yan felt a little aggrieved, but he didn't know where this aggrieved feeling came from.
He took out his mobile phone and opened his circle of friends. His face turned dark: "Am I the beauty you just met?"
"Ah? No." Hua Jin looked innocent, "Isn't it the first time we meet today? Is there any ambiguity in this sentence? Mr. Pei, don't be familiar with me. You also know that I don't even know how to go to college. Never had sex..."
"You ranked first in high school."
"That was seven or eight years ago, and I gave back everything I learned to the teacher." Hua Jin smiled more innocently, shook her phone and said, "My friends are praising you for being handsome."
Pei Yan glanced at Hua Jin’s phone and vaguely saw the words, "The best in the world, Sister Hua, try your best to knock him down! Steak him! Eat him!"
He pushed Hua Jin aside: "Stay away from me."
Who are Hua Jin’s friends?
He is an innocent man, and he has some compassion to help a few small favors, but he still has to worry about his own innocence?
Thinking of the intimacy between Hua Jin and her friend, Pei Yan felt as if she had knocked over the spice box, feeling irritated and irritable.
After all, this woman is engaged in traditional handicraft industry. Can she be more serious?
And what was wrong with his mind just now that he insisted on letting her take photos of himself and post them on WeChat Moments?
Is it because... the lack of air circulation in the exhibition hall affected his IQ?
