“Foshan lanterns have been famous all over the country in the 1960s. At that time, there were also places in Shanghai and Sichuan Zigong, but the most famous ones were the colorful Foshan lanterns. The lantern artists from all over the country went to Foshan. Take the classics." At the age of 15, he is engaged in the production of lanterns. Chen Ruo, who is now 62 years old and still inseparable from the lanterns, said.
Recently, in the Foshan Folk Art Research Institute, the smiling animal eyelights, the prominent goldfish eye and other image animal lights, the classical lamp color "cluster", the reporter and Chen Lan, who has been engaged in the production of lanterns for 47 years, listened to him and told him about him. And the Foshan Lantern said the endless source.
After three years as an apprentice, "According to Chen Yu, in general, I entered the Foshan Folk Art Research Institute to learn the lanterns. At least I have to be an apprentice for 3 years." The 'same window' learning lanterns are about 30 to 40 people, now Most have changed. â€
At that time, they took two days of art classes every week, from the famous masters of art, Yang Lan, Tang Chuan and Xue Liang. The rest of the time was mainly to learn the lanterns in the workshop with Wu Zhu and Deng Hui.
In the 1960s, the material was scarce. "The wire we made for the lanterns was bent and discarded. The male apprentices pinched the wire and made the 'skeleton' of the lantern. The girls made more 'outer packaging' of the lanterns," recalls Master Chen. In 1988, Chen Yu won the title of the first batch of craft artists in the country with his hard work.
Macau orders a large number of lanterns every year
Master Chen said that in 1983, a businessman from Macau saw the Foshan Lantern at the Folk Art Research Society. He was amazed at the lanterns in Foshan and had a light show in Macau at his own expense. Since then, Macau has ordered Foshan lanterns every year at the grand festival. “Every year, the Mid-Autumn Festival, the New Year and other three major festivals, the order of the Macao Special Administrative Region alone exceeds 500,000 yuan.â€
In foreign countries and Hong Kong and Macao, the splendid and exquisite lanterns are highly praised. Master Chen Hao also gave lectures and performances in San Francisco, Hawaii, Los Angeles and other places five times. Hundreds of foreign students of different skin colors participated in the study.
Participate in Hong Kong's return to the lantern production
“I participated in the production of 13 large traditional lanterns in the return of Hong Kong in 1997.†Master Chen talked about the history of Weishui. At the time, the largest boat in the Victoria Harbour was 48 meters long and 18 meters high. “The transportation of giant lanterns is particularly difficult. We only have to tie each part separately and then transport it to the Jiangmen Shipyard at that time and assemble the various parts with a crane.†“There is a group that is particularly high and can only be transported to Lantau Island, Hong Kong. Packed up."
On the day of the return of Hong Kong, there was a downpour, and the lights were safe. "This large-scale outdoor lantern replaces the traditional paper rope with steel welding, and the fabric uses waterproof spinning silk, and replaces the bulb with a motor. Therefore, it does not leak water and leaks, and can withstand wind and rain for more than half a year." The master told the mystery.
Foshan Lantern is exquisite and beautiful
Foshan Lantern has the characteristics of exquisite and beautiful Lanterns in South China. It is one of the main schools of traditional Chinese lantern art, including large-scale lanterns and headlights, character story lights, colorful dragons and lanterns.
As early as the Song Dynasty, Foshan people had the habit of Lantern Lantern. In "Foshan Zhongyi Township", there is a record about "Shangyuan Light City", in which the "Pu Junyi" lamp market is the most prosperous. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the folks had a "lighting meeting" to show folk lanterns in a patrolling manner. In fact, there are hundreds of decorative patterns used in Foshan lanterns. Their contents and forms are derived from folk creations. The lanterns are all hand-operated. The style of Foshan lanterns is exaggerated and unreal, exquisite and exquisite. The daytime is colorful and colorful, and the night is transparent and bright.
According to Master Chen, the artists who used to make lanterns in Foshan before the liberation were scattered among the people. The lanterns in Foshan were divided into two major schools: festive lights and superstition lights. When the New Year, Mid-Autumn Festival or red and white matters, the citizens would hang lights. Foshan Lantern has twice entered the Guinness Book of World Records.
dialogue
Young people are willing to tie lanterns
Reporter: What is the key point of Foshan Lantern production technology?
Chen Wei: Accuracy is the key to making Foshan lanterns. The essence of the lantern is a geometric shape, and the size and proportion must be very precise.
Reporter: How has the lanterns undergone changes in production?
Chen Wei: The material used to make the lanterns has evolved from bamboo rafts to iron wires and steel bars. Due to the improvement of materials, Foshan Lantern began to make large-scale lanterns in the 1980s with small lanterns. In terms of appearance, the combination of tradition and modernity, scenery, cartoons, fairy tales can be entered into the lights, such as the image of the "Old Master" previously broadcast. In 2003, even in cooperation with Singapore, I made a Disney theme lantern. Now, due to copyright issues, cartoon characters will be very cautious when entering the lights. In terms of lighting, candles and lighting have gradually moved toward motor power generation lighting. The art of lanterns has therefore moved from the original interior art to the square art, from a single work to a scale combination.
Reporter: How many people are currently engaged in production?
Chen Wei: At present, Foshan Folk Art Research Institute is engaged in the production of lanterns. There are usually about 70 people, and there will be more than 100 people in a long time. There are still some people who have set up a lantern production company, and the total number is difficult to count.
Reporter: At present, the production of lanterns adopts running water, does it affect the inheritance of lanterns?
Chen Wei: In the past, when making lanterns, every master had to make a complete lantern. At present, the production of lanterns is based on running water and division of labor. This method of production makes it difficult for many workers to master the production of the entire set of lanterns. However, the young people nowadays, especially the graduate students of the Academy of Fine Arts, are very interested in the Foshan Lantern and can create independently.
Reporter: What effect does the Foshan Lantern application have on the production of lanterns?
Chen Wei: The application of the intangible cultural heritage of lanterns plays an important role in the inheritance of Foshan lanterns for many young people. It can attract more young people with artistic skills to create lanterns.
