Zhuang culture creation? Sponsor? -Zhuangjin

As we all know, Zhuang Brocade is the most famous handicraft in Nanning, Guangxi, because Zhuang Brocade has a very long history and was produced in the Tang and Song Dynasties, and it developed very stably and prosperously in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. So, do you know the magnificent Zhuang culture?

Next, let's look for the answer from the perspective of national culture!

Zhuang brocade is one of the most representative national handicrafts in Zhuang area of Guangxi. Together with Yunjin, Shujin and Songjin, it is called the four famous brocade in China. It is said that it originated in the Song Dynasty and is a national cultural treasure in Guangxi. This exquisite handicraft made of cotton thread or silk thread has vivid patterns, rigorous structure and bright colors, and is full of warm and cheerful national style, which embodies the pursuit and yearning of the Zhuang people for a better life. Xincheng county is one of the origins of Guangxi Zhuang brocade, with a long history and profound cultural heritage. Xincheng Zhuang Brocade was once a fine product in Guangxi Zhuang Brocade, and it was presented to the court as a tribute.

Zhuang brocade, as a kind of arts and crafts fabric, can be said to be one of the most wonderful cultural creations of Zhuang people, and its history is also very long. It is said that as early as the Han Dynasty, a kind of "hole cloth" was made in the local area, which read "Thin people keep out the heat, soft people keep out the cold". Smart Zhuang people make full use of plant fibers to weave kudzu vine and twine cloth as clothing. According to the records quoted in Guangdong New Talk at that time, this kind of cloth was "thin and suitable for summer heat, soft and familiar but cold-proof". After the founding of New China, archaeologists excavated several orange tapestries in the No.7 remnant burial pit of the Han Tomb in Luobowan, Guangxi, which proved that Guangxi had tapestry skills in the Han Dynasty.

The loom of Zhuang brocade is a wood machine that has been changing since it was finalized a hundred years ago. Simple structure, light knitting, simple operation, convenient use but low efficiency. The whole machine consists of five parts: machine body, yarn loading, yarn lifting, jacquard and jacquard. The machine body includes a machine tool, a frame and a seat plate. The yarn loading includes a winding head, a sarong, a cloth head shaft, a waist and a yarn pressing rod. Yarn lifting includes threading, lifting and small heald. Jacquard includes flower pedal, flower hanger, flower cage, woven bamboo, large heald, heald beam and heavy hammer. Patterning includes reed, jacquard ruler, bobbin, velvet shuttle and yarn shuttle.

Brocade is a boring and complicated process. Although the cultural quality of the operator is not high, the mechanical movements of tens of thousands of times a day are really a great test for brocade people. In brocade, the artist uses a flower picking ruler to pick out patterns according to the designed patterns, and then arranges them on the flower cage with woven bamboo strips and large healds. When weaving, the bamboo woven on the flower cage is transferred one by one, and the pattern is reflected on the brocade surface through longitudinal traction, and so on.

Guangxi national brocade art, represented by Zhuang brocade art, has become an important part of China traditional folk art after more than one thousand years of development. Zhuang brocade has produced rich and wonderful patterns in the long-term labor practice of people of all ethnic groups in Guangxi, which strongly reflects their love and reverence for life, nature and national culture, permeates the optimistic spirit of national culture, condenses people's yearning for beauty, expresses sincere feelings, meets the basic needs of life, and closely combines the practical functions of materials with spiritual needs to become a "living fossil" bearing the memory of national culture.

Zhuang Brocade is the only national brocade among the four famous brocade in China, and it is listed as the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage. In addition, the inheritance and development of Zhuang brocade, a traditional art, must also be based on traditional innovation. Abandoning tradition can only accelerate the demise of Zhuang brocade; If you are old-fashioned, the brocade will fade ... make a breakthrough in the model and innovate constantly. Only by improving products combined with reasonable management methods can we break the recession in recent years with our bare hands.
