Craftsman Spirit —— Craftsman in China

There is an old urchin in Fushun, Liaoning. His name is Wang Zhenhai, and his stage name is "Wang Laoxie". Because he didn't take the usual path when he was studying, others could restore the broken porcelain to him. He is a porcelain craftsman and is called "the best in the world".

There is a saying that "don't care about porcelain without Jin Gangzuan", which is porcelain. This process uses shovel nails to smash porcelain like a stapler.

The craft of a bachelor is handed down from generation to generation, that is, it is the grandson, not the son, who is handed down from grandpa. He is a descendant of the fifth generation, and his ancestors are called "God's Life of Gongqiao King in Shandong".

Kangxi traveled incognito and touched his Jin Gangzuan. His grandfather used to be a royal craftsman of Empress Dowager Cixi. If you take any tools from Wang's house, it is often hundreds of years old, and generations of time seem to be embedded there.

Wang Laoxie began to study art at the age of four. He was the first pot after he became an adult in, and spent most of his life with porcelain. He really likes this craft.

When Zhang Guoli came to see him with a broken doll, Wang Laoxie played with his heart, made a foundation and turned it into a touching plum blossom, which made Zhang Guoli happy to learn from his teacher and said, "Wang Laoxie is really fierce." The old man, like a child, happily compares the two in his mind.

▲? Wang Laoxie holds 24 kinds of 72 kinds 136 to repair old porcelain stunts. He carved a touching plum blossom from the blue-and-white teapot he brought to Zhang Guoli with his unique skills.

Wang Laoxie recalled that shovel workers used to walk up and down the street, shaking drums and shouting "shovel workers ... shovel work ...", and people were holding broken bowls and pots. After the restoration work is completed, shovelers will beg their owners for water and pour it into the restored porcelain. Come on! If you don't tell, you're finished.

At Wang Laoxie's house, there is a wall full of express boxes, which are sent by people all over the country. I hope Wang Laoxie can help repair it. Zhang Guoli said, "People sent a hope, and Wang Laoxie gave a fulfillment."

Wang Lao's fallacy said: "The most important thing in enamel is forging nails. His chisel is different from others'. It is more plastic and won't rust. Look, it's shining.

He cut the copper plate into branches two centimeters wide and then cut it into small diamonds. He had to make two-thirds holes in the porcelain bowl, but he couldn't penetrate it. In fact, the diamond drill bit with holes is not sharp, but a little flat like a roof, and then the hook angle of the shovel nail is tightly engaged with the porcelain, so it is "embedded in one hammer".

The most test skill is to make flower nails, that is, shovel nails with patterns. Shovel workers will forge according to the patterns and characters of porcelain. For example, the lotus flower at the mouth of the cup has become a lotus pond in the water, fish are at home in a bowl or plate full of water, and bats are a blessing from heaven. This is also my favorite shovel porcelain.

What has been broken, after the hand of a shovel, is incomplete, becomes a kind of beauty and a wish for life.

Wang Laoxie once spent more than 10,000 yuan to collect six pieces of broken porcelain of the Five Dynasties, which were turned into teacups by his hands. It is the only one in the world, called "Qihe Lantern". Someone offered a high price of120 thousand, but Wang Laoxie didn't sell it. He said that this is the representative of his own porcelain cutting process, which has experienced the vicissitudes of mankind.

▲ The five pieces of spliced porcelain are: Yue Kiln (Song Dynasty), Jingdezhen Longyao (Qing Dynasty), Blue and White Porcelain (Yuan Dynasty), Longquan Porcelain (Song Dynasty) and Nanhai No.1 (Ming Dynasty), with an estimated value of 6.5438+0.2 million.

But now fewer and fewer people need enamel. Wang absurd heresy, "now shovel a nail to 10 yuan. It may cost a few dollars to buy a bowl. Who will come? " Therefore, fewer and fewer people are willing to learn skills. Wang Laoxie couldn't bear to break the craft in his own hands, and resolutely broke the family rules and spread the craft to people with heart.

When Wang takes an apprentice, the most important thing is to look at his character and good character before he is willing to teach and train wholeheartedly. Even if everyone in the family opposes him because he broke the family rules, he will inherit the craft at all costs. Speaking of this, Wang Laoxie, who had been laughing all the time, looked healthy.

▲? Cao, the founder of Wu Yuju, is a place to listen to pine and ask questions. He studied under Wang Zhenhai (Wang Laoxie), a fifth-generation non-genetic person of enamel color, and became the sixth-generation inheritor.

Wang Laoxie is not only in porcelain, but also in his heart, because he regards craft not as life, but as life.
