"Small Pot Tea × Great Wall Exhibition of Hundred Craftsmen and Hundred Blessings of the Nation" was unveiled

On January 6th, the "Small Pot Tea × The Great Wall Exhibition of hundreds of craftsmen and hundreds of blessings of the national essence" was unveiled. The Beijing Youth Daily reporter learned that the works on display are all unique and unique pieces of traditional Chinese craftsmanship, which are handmade by 100 inheritors of the national essence, and each work contains a "Fu" character.

Known as the "best of the Great Wall of China", the Simatai Great Wall is paved with large red "Fu" characters, and 100 pieces of art treasures created by the inheritors of the national essence are displayed on it by hundreds of traditional handicrafts such as gold inlaid jade, silver jewelry forging, engraved porcelain, plate embroidery, batik, movable type carving, etc. Each of the "Fu" works displayed on the spot is a unique treasure with the same beautiful meaning.

Since ancient times, "fu" has symbolized the pursuit and yearning of Chinese for a better life. The inspiration for the "Great Wall Exhibition of Small Pots of Tea × Hundred Craftsmen and Hundred Blessings" is derived from the "Hundred Blessings Map" unearthed in Luoyang, Henan Province, which contains 100 kinds of calligraphy written "Fu" characters, which are auspicious treasures loved by the world.

National works are artistic treasures that contain traditional culture. The Great Wall is a world-class masterpiece that brings together countless craftsmen, and it is also a representative world cultural heritage with a profound history and culture. When these handmade works of art full of "blessings" meet the Great Wall, which is regarded as the "backbone of Chinese civilization", it not only adds a touch of national self-confidence to this special New Year's greeting of small pots of tea, but also allows traditional Chinese culture to be understood and recognized by more people through the Great Wall, which symbolizes the "dragon".

At the event site, Luo Yicheng, the initiator of the "China Shou artist" project, said: "At the moment when industrialization has been popularized, the significance of our protection and inheritance of traditional crafts lies in the fact that traditional crafts express materials, crafts, things and people with a kind of goodwill. The small pot of tea joins hands with hundreds of craftsmen to use 100 lucky characters to dominate all traditional handicrafts, so that the national essence of craftsmanship has a unified theme. I hope that this goodwill behind it will continue from generation to generation in China. ”

In order to allow more forces to converge on the inheritance and protection of national art, Xiaocang Tea also officially announced at the exhibition that it has opened digital cooperation with Ant Chain, a subsidiary of Ant Group, to transform national essence artworks into digital collections through blockchain technology.

The Beijing Youth Daily reporter learned that after the exhibition, representative works will be sold online in the form of digital collections, with each work selling for 19.9 yuan and a limited edition of 8,000 copies. Digitally tagged and generated with unique digital credentials, traditional national art treasures will be transformed into digital collections that cannot be copied, preserved permanently, and can be appreciated and shared at any time. It is worth mentioning that all the proceeds of this cooperation will be donated to public welfare organizations to help the inheritance and protection of intangible cultural heritage crafts.

The release of the digital collection also means that the small pot of tea has officially entered the meta-universe, so that traditional culture can be more long-term protection and wide promotion under the digital form, maximizing the value of these works of art, and allowing traditional craftsmen to obtain the best protection of copyright and handmade skills.

Mei Jiang, general manager of the small pot tea market center, said: "Every Chinese lives in the heart of a blessing word, and happiness is Chinese yearning for a better life. Small Pot Tea is committed to the contemporary expression of traditional Chinese tea, using innovative ways to make Chinese tea young and keep pace with the times. Likewise, we have the duty and responsibility to arouse attention and protection of traditional skills. "Small pot tea insists on fashionable and innovative expression to make traditional Chinese culture more "young" and full of vitality. In the process of protecting and inheriting the Culture of Fu, Xiaocang Tea helps the traditional Chinese culture to be passed on for a longer time through the innovation and re-creation of national art.
