Why is Yangjiang Lacquerware Lost?

Many Yangjiang people don't know Yangjiang paint, maybe it's just a brilliant term. Yangjiang Lacquer (Cashew Lacquer) Cashew Lacquer is the product of great innovation on traditional lacquerware by Yangjiang State Lacquer Factory with the progress of the times. Cashew nut paint was chemically synthesized from cashew nut shell oil and formaldehyde in the early 1980s. The production process is extremely toxic, the paint is less toxic and has a slightly irritating taste. This kind of paint can be painted and sprayed, which is more convenient than natural paint. Yangjiang lacquerware flourished at the beginning of reform and opening up.

I will never forget the making process of cashew nut paint and the unpleasant smell I witnessed more than ten years ago. Yangjiang lacquerware, which is now revived, uses this lost Yangjiang lacquerware.

Cashew lacquer is not the most poisonous. What is even more shameful is that lacquer painting teachers use polyurethane to make money to open children's lacquer painting classes, and their lives are ruined by ignorant parents.

Polyurethane is life-threatening, so it can't be used, and cashew paint is not a good thing. It is difficult to master the performance of natural paint, which will bring paint rash to allergic people. It is difficult to reproduce the glory!

The lacquerware of Pingyao ancient city in Shanxi Province is all cashew lacquer. Although there is no collection value, once you step in, lacquerware is everywhere, and the price is cheap, so you can't help taking one or two home. Yangjiang should revitalize and imitate Pingyao ancient city. Personally, I think it's vulgar, but it's also good for people who have never met. They think that the lacquerware of cashew nut paint is also lacquerware. As long as it is lacquerware, it is a good thing. If you can have these admirers, you will have a market and you will be able to revitalize.

Let's talk about natural paint again. Natural lacquer is taken from the sap of sumac tree, which will cause physical allergy to some people for a week before it disappears. Harmless to human body, it is recorded that ancient assassins disfigured their faces with natural paint. Lacquerware made of natural lacquer was a luxury in ancient times, and the production process was complicated and difficult to master. Lacquerware made of natural lacquer made of gold and silver is luxurious and beautiful. The lacquer of natural lacquerware is as smooth and bright as jade stone, which can be preserved permanently and has great collection value.

Yangjiang lacquerware has a history of hundreds of years in Yangjiang. It is made of natural lacquer and sold overseas. After the great innovation in the early 1980s (1982), the export crisis occurred in less than 10 years. Since then, Yangjiang lacquerware has disappeared ... The most regrettable thing is that the appearance of cashew lacquer has interrupted the inheritance and continuation of traditional natural lacquerware for more than 30 years. Yangjiang is a master who knows natural lacquerware. ...

Now the new generation of painters can only use cashew nut paint. With this in mind, I began to have a strong desire to create large natural lacquerware. ......
