--Title

When it comes to arts and crafts, people seem to be unfamiliar, but in terms of its connotation, it is very deep. Arts and crafts is a culture is a history, it is the history and culture of the "carrier". It can be said that, since there are human beings have arts and crafts, it is with the human life and produced, with the progress of society and development. This is evidenced by the evolution of human society.

Crafts art as part of the fine arts, but it is the art of the "foundation", the art of the "source". It is after a long period of time, and gradually formed an independent art category. Arts and crafts is a kind of plastic art and practical art, which is characterized by visible and touchable concrete images. The Chinese Art Dictionary (Shanghai Rhetoric Publishing House) explains "Arts and Crafts" in the "Nouns and Terms" as follows. "One of the arts and crafts plastic arts. To art skills into a variety of practical combination and appreciation of the value of handicrafts. Therefore, there is usually a dual nature; that is, the material product, but also have different degrees of spiritual aspects of the aesthetic nature. As a material product, it reflects a certain era, a certain society's material culture and production level; as a spiritual product, its visual image (modeling, = color, decoration) and reflects a certain era of aesthetics. Generally divided into two categories: First, daily crafts, that is, after the decoration of the life of the actual products, such as some of the dyeing and weaving, ceramic crafts, furniture craft, etc.; Second, furnishing crafts, that is, dedicated to the appreciation of the furnishings, such as some of the elephant carvings, jade carvings, decorative paintings and so on. China's arts and crafts production earlier, such as the Stone Age has been colored pottery, before the Shang Dynasty has been engraved white pottery, the Shang Dynasty has been jade, etc., realistic modeling and patterning of the law that shows a strong practicality and art. Their production, often due to the historical period, geographical environment, economic conditions, cultural and technical level, national fashion and aesthetic point of view of the different styles and characteristics. This can be said to be the basic definition of arts and crafts. In addition, the book "terminology" in the "folk crafts", "special crafts", "modern crafts ", "applied arts", "industrial arts", "technical arts", "design arts" and "design".

In September 1983, in order to carry out the implementation of the State Council on the "Interim Provisions on the Business Titles of Arts and Crafts Cadres," according to the Ministry of Light Industry (83) Light Art Word No. 16 document "on the test subjects and review opinions on the assessment of arts and crafts cadres who do not have the stipulated academic qualifications (professional craftsmen) for the business titles of arts and crafts," the Zhejiang Institute of Arts and Crafts Data Room will Tianjin Academy of Fine Arts YanLiChuan professor edited "Chinese art history" book about the arts and crafts part of the compilation and printing, this is so far more authoritative arts and crafts monograph. Specializing in the history of arts and crafts researchers and people who love the cause of arts and crafts reading.

This article is only on the application of arts and crafts in modern life to briefly explain.

(I) Arts and Crafts and Cultural Relics, Tourism and Collections

Art and Crafts, Cultural Relics and Tourism, what is the relationship between the three? What is the connection between them? In particular, the development of society today, what is the status and role of arts and crafts? I have been in the province of some of the tourism souvenir development seminar explained as follows:

Long history, creating a splendid national culture. Chinese arts and crafts is the most representative part of the splendid culture, and thus enjoys a great reputation in the world. From a historical point of view, arts and crafts is a valuable heritage of national culture. Throughout the dynasties and generations through the master craftsmen at the time of the production of uncountable arts and crafts, with the passage of time, or hidden in the ground, or circulated in the folk, or destroyed by man-made, natural disasters, or was robbed and stolen and sold abroad, they are rare to be preserved, and thus has a unified name: "cultural relics". These arts and crafts intact survival of not many, so precious. Their forms of expression are: bronze, ceramics, sculpture (including brick, wood, clay, etc.), lacquer, jade, murals, painting ......, and even ancient architecture, and thus as a human landscape, attracting Chinese and foreign tourists to visit, tour, study, investigation. So what does tourism look for? Look at cultural relics, monuments, look at cultural relics and monuments in the arts and crafts. In fact, if you think about it, not only bronzes, ceramics, sculpture, etc., even some of the cultural relics and ancient buildings are also enlarged arts and crafts. Such as the famous Shanxi Yingxian Fogong Temple Sega Tower (commonly known as "Yingxian wooden tower"), Hongdong Guangsheng Temple glazed rainbow tower, Yongji Yellow River Pu Jindu large iron cattle, Taiyuan Twin Pagodas and so on are so, and then, if you take out the Jinshang compound of brick carving, wood carving, stone carving, painting (of course, there are Jinshang cultural connotations), whether it is Qixian Qiao family compound, or Lingshi Wang family compound, will not become an empty shell without content and value? The artistic language of architecture, the same can not be separated from the dialog with the arts and crafts.

As we all know, Shanxi has "China's ancient art museum", "China's ancient art treasury" reputation, the most cultural relics on the ground, the richness of the underground cultural relics can be called the first. Said it is cultural relics resources, tourism resources, in fact, should be more arts and crafts cultural resources. This is a very obvious fact, the past often did not cause people to think carefully.

(B) arts and crafts and folklore, clothing, packaging

Folklore, refers to different local folk customs, also known as folk customs, customs. Customs are often national and local characteristics. As the saying goes, "ten miles of the same wind different customs." Folk activities and folk products, often with arts and crafts have a close relationship, some folk products are folk arts and crafts, while belonging to the arts and crafts. Therefore, folklore and arts and crafts have a "blood relationship". 2002 National Tourism Administration will be the theme of tourism as "China's folk art tours", in order to further promote China to the world through the promotion of folklore and folk culture, is also the reason.

Art and art is rooted in the folk art, there are arts and crafts "source". There are many traditional culture is the essence of the Chinese nation. People know: "the national is the world". Look at Xiangfen Ding Village Folk Museum, Dingxiang Riverside Folk Museum, you will find that many such as paper-cutting, embroidery, face painting, clay figures, lanterns, weaving and other folk folk crafts, in fact, can not be divorced from the scope of arts and crafts. What is even more encouraging is that recently, "Chinese paper-cutting" has been included in the "World Cultural Heritage" by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization. Our province's folk paper-cutting to Guangling, Fushan, Xiaoyi, Qixian, Xiangfen, Daixian, new drop, Dingxiang and other places are most famous, divided into a single dispute and coloring two categories. Shanxi arts and crafts" editorial board and Shanxi arts and crafts research institute in 1986 **** with the editing and publishing of "Shanxi paper-cutting" book, nationally renowned arts and crafts, the former president of the central arts and crafts academy, Mr. zhang ding for the title of the book. This is a collection of Shanxi paper-cutting of the great arts and crafts monograph, welcomed by professionals and enthusiasts, the book in Qixian Qiaojia compound and other cultural relics of tourist attractions sold very well.

In recent years, with the development of tourism, "folk culture tours" has become a featured tourism products, attracting guests from home and abroad, "Shanxi is the folk art of", which in 1984 "... China Arts and Crafts Society Folk Professional Committee's first annual meeting "held in Linfen, our province, through the magnificent "Jinnan Folk Arts and Crafts Exhibition" has been recognized by the national arts and crafts colleagues. The then chairman of the China Arts and Crafts Society, served as Minister of Light Industry, Comrade Xu Yunbei for the inscription "Long live the Chinese nation! Long live the folk arts and crafts!"

China's "soil" is foreign "foreign". We are accustomed to seeing, foreigners have not seen, they feel novelty. Now, Jinzhong, Shanxi Province to carry out the "Jinshang Cultural and Tourism Festival", launched the "live in folk houses, cut window, spring couplets, firecrackers, hinges, packages, the New Year's Eve, pointing Wang Xiang, worship the New Year, watch the fireworks, the Lantern Festival" folk activities, quite popular with Chinese and foreign tourists, indicating that This shows the value of this art in the world. The purpose of these activities is to promote Shanxi's folk culture to the country and the world, so that more people understand Shanxi's folk culture, arts and crafts and folk art in Shanxi. But as a Shanxi people should first understand themselves.

In addition, many of the ethnic supplies are unique and tourist souvenirs, which also broadens the channels for expanding the production of arts and crafts industry. Yunnan, Guangxi, Guizhou and other places of experience is worth learning.

To give you an example: lanterns are traditional arts and crafts. Especially in the Spring Festival, hanging lanterns, dancing dragon lanterns, is the people's exciting activities, all over the custom. Folk artists can show their skills. People in the old days knew that "Pingyao's meat and Taigu's lanterns are the most famous. Taigu's lanterns are the most famous" folk song. On the eve of this year's Spring Festival, the second Shanxi Commercial Fire Festival Pingyao Lantern Appreciation will open, and the Lantern Appreciation will last until March 4 (the first day of the first month of the lunar calendar). The "World Cultural Heritage" Pingyao Ancient City Lantern Festival has been held for three sessions, all of which have been very successful. 1999 was the first Spring Festival Lantern Festival in Pingyao, which was organized with the support and help of the China Arts and Crafts Association and the Shanxi Arts and Crafts Association. This year's Lantern Festival added new content to Shanxi's Spring Festival activities and a traditional program to the "Jinshang Social Fire Festival". The Pingyao Lantern Festival features 60 groups of large and medium-sized lanterns, 12 individual light corridors with distinctive features, 10 groups of cartoon lanterns, 20 groups of fine paper-cut lanterns, and six series and 10 varieties of palace lanterns. From the lower west gate of the ancient city wall to the 3,600-odd golden tourist lines of the Point General's Terrace, more than 100,000 golden lanterns shine at the same time, which are interspersed with Pingyao's passageway pagoda lamps, gas arch rainbow lamps, door and window store folk crafts lamps, building wheelhouse lamps, spotlights and strings of lights from scenic trees to form a bright night scene of fireworks and silver blossoms. Witnessing the ancient and brilliant, people y feel the arts and crafts to give people the joy and enjoyment of beauty. Thus also tell people a little, folklore, but also less arts and crafts.

People also need to beautify. As the saying goes, "the Buddha relies on gold, people rely on clothing". People living in affluence need to pay attention to the fashion of dressing up. Costume (clothing and accessories) from ancient to modern belongs to the category of arts and crafts. This point can be illustrated from the classical costume props, whether it is excavated from the Thirteen Tombs in Beijing during the reign of the Dragon Crown, Phoenix Crown, or "Kangxi's private visit" and other classical TV series in the dress Phi Pei, to a large number of today's embroidered costumes, are from the hands of ancient and modern artists. Even the clothing "eyes" - on the "buttons", are also arts and crafts. In our province, Shanxi Ji County, there is a specialized production of precious stone buttons of arts and crafts enterprises. As for the wide variety of jewelry, more people are familiar with. Quite famous brand "HongYi", is the province's largest gold jewelry inlay jewelry production enterprises - HongYi Jewelry Co. "Hongyi" is "Shanxi Province famous production standard" and "Shanxi Province famous brand products" title to obtain enterprises. June 20, 1999, in order to celebrate the return of Macao at the end of the year, Jixian County Party Secretary Chen Baotang planning, commanded the "Yellow River baby" Zhu Zhaohui driving a motorcycle over the Yellow River Hukou Falls, in the "Flying Yellow" held after the success of Zhu Zhaohui, Wang Xiaoli's wedding, I was commissioned by the general manager of the Li Haifeng on behalf of the enterprise site to congratulate the couple and presented a pair of Full gold "couple ring" is Hongyi jewelry.

How can clothing be linked to arts and crafts? Or first to its design, in the Central Academy of Arts and Crafts and other colleges and universities, on the opening of the "clothing design professional", its title is still assessed as arts and crafts series. Now, many categories of clothing, for the crowd is also very wide, the elderly, middle-aged, young people, children, women's, men's, work business special needs, popular, personalized, single-season, multi-season, have changed the past, "gray, black, blue", and replaced by five colors, six colors, different forms of the crowd on the street, the people from the north and south! Formed a bright landscape. Can you say that it is not the arts and crafts for millions of people to bring art, joy? October 21 last year, the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Ninth Informal Leaders' Meeting was held in Shanghai, the participating Chinese and foreign leaders were interested in wearing a Tang suit, which is really the Spring Festival this year on the land of China set off a wave of "Tang suit fever". Newspaper, and thus all of a sudden led to the silk industry in Hangzhou and other places, for the silk weaving arts and crafts enterprises to bring more than 4-6 billion yuan of output value. This year's Spring Festival there is also a "fire" is the "Chinese knot". This shows that the arts and crafts Wei force.

"Food is the God of the people". The improvement of the quality of life of modern people for the requirements of food and drink is also gradually increased, in addition to pay attention to "color, aroma, taste", while taking into account the "shape" of the food, and thus appeared in the art of food processing. Whether it is food, gourmet, food beautification (art), and involved in the arts and crafts. The beautification of the table begins with the utensils and the food. Not to mention the beautification of tableware, just to food, in all kinds of food placement, location also need to pay attention to the beauty. People have found that, to get a "peacock open screen" of the plate in the middle of the puzzle, carved a hollow pattern for guests to share, carvers for food both the visual taste of the beauty of the addition, but also to increase the food itself, "value-added".

The beautification of all kinds of food from the beginning of the improvement of packaging. Now to the supermarket, the first colorful food packaging, people pay attention to the inner quality at the same time, the quality of the packaging also has the same requirements. Packaging not only plays a protective role in food, but also food "face", the design of new packaging is a favorite, invariably become a "sales" of their "bride".

Packaging changes day by day, the classification of packaging is more and more fine, the level of packaging design is also increasingly demanding; large packaging, small packaging, packaging, packaging, flexible packaging, hard packaging, ordinary packaging, boutique packaging, general material packaging, high-grade material packaging, bags, bottles, cans, boxes, gift packaging, mass packaging, single packaging, composite packaging, will be installed, set! ...... can cite a large pile. Good packaging can bring good selling price, good benefits. Of course, packaging is not limited to food, here is only the most common and most common one. Products to be packaged, so there is a large number of package designers, packaging and packaging materials production enterprises, and even carried out the training of packaging designers, packaging exhibitions and packaging design selection, packaging really on the hall of elegance, the past commodities do not pay attention to the phenomenon of packaging gradually be changed. Chinese packaging has the characteristics of Chinese packaging, Chinese products marketed abroad, but also for foreigners to accept, recognize the packaging, and thus the pattern, decoration has a taboo. Different countries have different customs, different languages and scripts, and here is a big set of learning. Especially after the human world, more should learn, study.

The rise of "online shopping", not only for the product has new requirements, the packaging requirements of the product is more detailed, concrete, visualization, which can be said to be a "revolution" in packaging design. Tsinghua University Academy of Arts and Design (formerly the Central Academy of Arts and Crafts) has "Decoration", "Sculpture" magazine, specializing in the study of arts and crafts of decorative and sculptural art of national academic journals; Guangzhou has a magazine called "Packaging and Design", is also specialized in the study of packaging and design, three magazines are bi-monthly, every two months a period of time, the contents of a very good, high level, we recommend that our arts and crafts designers to subscribe to. The content is good and the level is high, we suggest our arts and crafts designers to subscribe. To catch up with the trend of the times, not lagging behind the times, not only the product should be good, packaging should also be exquisite. In recent years, the packaging of Shanxi products is improving, but still backward. To enter the domestic and international markets, still count on arts and crafts designers.

(C) arts and crafts and cultural exchanges, environmental art

As mentioned earlier, arts and crafts itself is a culture, and a very wide range of cultural arts. Because of the definition of arts and crafts, trademark design, logo design, packaging design, decorative design, post design, exhibition design, modeling design, image design, choreography, postal design ...... always known as arts and crafts and fine arts design, can be included in this field, and thus it bears a large part of cultural and artistic exchanges. Associated with arts and crafts are also bonsai, stones, flowers, as well as included in sports activities such as kite competitions.

Art and craft is an important medium of cultural exchange and social activities and friendship carrier. Involved in political activities, such as the celebration of the return of Hong Kong and Macao, from the central government of the provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions government gifts to Hong Kong and Macao Special Administrative Region Government, coincidentally, are arts and crafts. Our province for the return of Hong Kong gift is "wood carving Yingxian wooden tower model", for the return of Macao gift is "wood carving Yongji stork model". In March last year, the Shanxi Hall of the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, which was newly put into use, also displayed these two models; in 1999, the World Horticultural Expo in Kunming, the Shanxi Provincial Government sent a gift to the exhibition - a large-scale eight-cloth screen, "Shanxi Scenery", which was a Pingyao lacquer craft; in October of the same year, in the capital, Beijing, "National Famous and Excellent Products of Ethnic Minorities and Ethnic Areas", the Shanxi Provincial Government sent a gift to the exhibition. In October of the same year, at the "National Famous Products Expo for Minorities and Ethnic Minority Regions" in Beijing, the "leading" enterprise in the arts and crafts industry of our province, the "National Designated Manufacturer of Tourism Commodities", was honored with the title of "Shanxi Hongyi Jewelry". "Shanxi Hongyi Jewelry Factory design and production of the only large-scale domestic crafts," silver-plated filigree ornaments - Stork Tower "by the central leadership of the praise, sensational Beijing. This is also a fine arts and crafts; 2000 Spring Festival, should be invited by the Singapore Zongxiang General Association, our province handicrafts, tourism products to Singapore to participate in the "Spring to Riverside 2000" activities, Xinjiang Jiangxiang Jiangxiang inkstone research and development of the director of the young inkstone maker Lin Tao and the province of the Buddha muralist, the province of the Ancient Construction Research Institute Wang Yansong respectively with the One of the "Four Famous Inkstones of China", "Jiangzhou Chengni Inkstone" and Buddhist modeling artwork, the old overseas Chinese who have been abroad for many years said that they only knew that there were Jiangzhou Chengni Inkstone in the past from books, but they were very excited to see it with their own eyes today. The arts and crafts, as a "friendly facilitator", play a very good role in the cultural and artistic exchanges between China and New Zealand.

In addition, the arts and crafts industry enterprises in the gifts, prizes, souvenirs and enterprises and institutions in the design, development and production of iconic products, play a vital force. "Hongyishou Gifts", "Yuda Bronze", "Golden Travel Gifts", "Tianqian Bronze Art", "Pingyao Push Light Lacquerware", "Xinjiang Cloud Carving Lacquerware", "Datong Yungang Copper Craft", "Gaoping Dali Black Pottery GaoPing Dali Black Pottery", "JinZhong XiangLong Black Pottery" and other enterprises have outstanding achievements in this regard. Focus on the brand focus on culture, from the product-oriented marketing point of view, transformed into a consumer demand-centered modern marketing concepts, arts and crafts industry for, the two international markets, domestic sales, export sales, tourism, three fronts, the enterprise form of integration changes, is experiencing a winners and losers, many of the restructuring of arts and crafts after the enterprise glows with vigor, the prospect of infinitely better.

The role of arts and crafts in environmental beautification is also increasingly important. Today's society, human beings pay more and more attention to their living environment. Living space beautification, greening, purification, shows the improvement of the quality of life, which is conducive to people's health and longevity. As a result, environmental art is also more and more emphasized by people. A beautiful environment represents the level of science and technology and the degree of progress of civilization. The progress of society has given arts and crafts a new life; to beautify life and the environment. People gradually realize that in the "design life" in the arts and crafts to take responsibility.

"All people have the heart to love beauty." Arts and crafts is the art of creating beauty, which itself is a brand of beauty, the language of beauty, the carrier of beauty, the embodiment of beauty. Thus involving people's lives, work, study, rest, entertainment in all areas;

Room needs to be beautified - this is the most basic living space, the concept of "home" and the life journey "harbor";

The art of arts and crafts is the art of creating beauty. "

Work and study places need to be beautified - because here we have to walk through most of life;

Leisure environment needs to be beautified - because "He who will not rest will not work" - these are the words of a great man. Beautiful, peaceful rest environment is a healthy "gas station", is to win better energy into the work, study "green veggies";

The environment of the guest needs to be beautified - - here refers to the journey "green veggies";

The environment of the guest needs to be beautified - - here refers to the journey "green veggies".

The shopping environment needs to be beautified - you go to the supermarket, to the department store, to the boutique house, to the shopping center, to the flower store, comfortable and bright design layout, coupled with neatly placed all kinds of items, will bring you a good mood;

The city needs to be beautified, the garden needs to be beautified, the attractions need to be beautified, the streets need to be beautified, the streets need to be beautified;

City needs to be beautified, the garden needs to be beautified, the streets need to be beautified. Need to beautify, streets need to beautify ...... the pursuit of beauty will bring the enjoyment of beauty. All this is inseparable from the arts and crafts. Therefore, the interior and exterior decoration industry has become today's "hot industry". Each share to the new house family, whether young, old, have the desire to beautify the room. Institutions, hotels, restaurants, schools are even more so. Active in the indoor and outdoor decoration of the front of the backbone of this rookie team, almost all of them are arts and crafts or fine arts professionals (the industry's qualifications, the need for professional and technical title of arts and crafts professionals can be permitted).

Environmental layout, landscaping, from the Central People's Government to the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government, erected outside the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center in the type of sculpture "forever blooming thorns" - by the Central Academy of Arts and Crafts, the former director of the Ms. Chang Shana led the design and finalization, the Great Hall of the People Shanxi Province. Designed and finalized, the Great Hall of the People Shanxi Hall design furnishings (all provinces are so), as small as the young people's bridal chamber of the decorative display, are inseparable from the arts and crafts.

In the Central Academy of Arts and Crafts (now Tsinghua University School of Fine Arts), there is a "Department of Environmental Art". The beautification design of national large-scale architectural facilities, such as the Beijing International Airport Terminal Hall, the Great Hall of the main halls, and even the National Day Ceremony parade design (shape, color, pattern, sequence, etc.), are entrusted to the experts and professors here to lead the presidency. This from the central to local arts and crafts team, is indeed a valuable asset of people's country. Not long ago held in Yongji, Shanxi Province, "China's four ancient cultural buildings," one of the "Stork Tower Cultural Presentation Seminar", also invited the Tsinghua University Academy of Fine Arts. Central Academy of Arts and Crafts, Department of Environmental Arts, nationally renowned experts and professors to guide the meeting.

The establishment and level of urban sculpture, in the city beautification and evaluation of excellent tourist cities, health cities have a very important factor. In March last year, Wuhu City, Anhui Province, 500,000 M of the city's central square stood a high 35, weighing more than 120 tons of iconic bronze sculpture, "Hatchet top Zerui", the largest city sculpture is by the nationally renowned sculpture artist Mr. Han Meilin design, "the national tourism designated production enterprises," Shanxi Yuda Group Co. Manufacturing. Hat top Zerui" has created a number of China's first; the first bronze sculpture into the operation of the art project; the first time in the internal structure of the large-scale H-type wide flange structure; the first time by the supervisor of the bronze sculpture welded mechanical properties of the test; the first use of high-tech proprietary surface protection agent protection. This is a specific example of the application of arts and crafts in environmental art design. All aspects of modernized life, for the majority of arts and crafts workers to provide a very broad service space.

(D) forever arts and crafts

Art and crafts is always art. A senior expert in the industry said, what in the world up to the head of state, down to the ordinary people like, that is, arts and crafts. Into the WTO, arts and crafts as the essence of national culture and its "localization" characteristics, the world has its special attraction and influence, the prospect is very promising. This is a very good opportunity.

Great honor, must not let down the party and the people's expectations of their own.

Chinese arts and crafts, as an independent art category, enjoys a high reputation in the world. There is also an international "World Crafts Congress", which meets regularly and of which we are a member. Now, China's arts and crafts have been divided into 24 industries (sculpture crafts, metal crafts, jewelry, lacquer crafts, man-made paintings, painting crafts, natural plant fiber woven crafts, embroidery crafts, yarn crafts, dyeing and weaving crafts, arts and crafts shoes and hats, embroidered garments, carpets, fine art ceramics, theatrical props, fireworks, crafts umbrellas, crafts decorative lamps and lanterns, folk crafts, toys, (other arts and crafts, minerals for crafts, self-produced raw materials, non-arts and crafts), there are 19 of these industries in our province.

There are "Jiangzhou Chengni inkstone", one of the "four famous inkstones of China", and "Pingyang wooden New Year paintings", one of the "four famous wooden New Year paintings of China", which are very famous in the country and have an influence in the world. Due to the provincial party committee, the provincial government's emphasis on holding, from the 1960s, our province has been set up with the arts and crafts of the specialized institutions. Over the years, although the name of the organization is often changing, but the work of the beginning of the trade has not been interrupted. Forty years of hard work, has emerged a number of influential, powerful enterprises. 20 century seventy, eighty generation, the export products of these enterprises all over the world five continents, thirty, forty countries and regions, by the friends of all countries welcome
