Old brand New vitality
——Jin Zhanping, founder of Jin yuntang brand
Jin Zhanping, born in 1968, is the chairman of Jinyuntang Guzezhou Iron Cargo Development Co., Ltd. in Jincheng City, Shanxi, the provincial non-hereditary inheritor of Zezhou iron production technology, the founder of Jinyuntang brand, and the inheritor of the fourth generation of cast iron technology.
In 1990, Jin Zhanping graduated from university and was assigned to Jincheng Construction Bank. The following year, he resigned and "went to the sea" to engage in silk weaving in Shenzhen. Jin Zhanping was obsessed with iron tools, and the collection of iron pots, iron spoons, iron pots, scissors, etc. quickly filled the entire courtyard.
Jin Zhanping also germinated the idea of picking up the craftsmanship of his ancestors, recreating it, and carrying it forward. In October 1995, Jin Zhanping officially worshiped Wang Xiaosuo as a teacher and became the heir to the mantle of "Jin Yun Tang". Jin Zhanping learned one process at a time, and learned all the crafts in the past ten years.
However, how to make the iron goods of "Jin Yun Tang" adapt to the needs of modern lifestyles while inheriting traditional skills is a problem that Jin Zhanping has to think about and solve. On the basis of ensuring the traditional quality of the iron goods of "Jin Yun Tang", he should replace the family workshop operation with a modern corporatized operation. Therefore, Jin Zhanping registered and established Jincheng Jinyuntang Guzezhou Iron Goods Development Co., Ltd. in 2013, and in 2016, an iron pot production base was built in Dayang Town, and all iron pots were produced from here.
Nowadays, "Jinyuntang" products go out of Shanxi, the sales network covers North China, Northeast China, Northwest China, Jiangnan and Fujian and Zhejiang, but also go abroad, exported overseas, and in Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Wuhan, Zhengzhou, Taiyuan and other places with more than 30 operation centers, annual sales of more than 30,000.
It is this kind of commercialization that allows the traditional production process of iron pots to be passed down again, and the production skills of iron pots have also been included in the list of provincial intangible cultural heritage protection projects.
His work "Guandi Shengjie" won the "Shengong Cup" Arts and Crafts Fine Arts And Crafts Gold Award, and "Guansheng Emperor Junju" won the Shanxi Provincial Patent Award. He himself has also won the honorary titles of "Three Jin Talents" top-notch backbone talents, "Municipal Leading Talents" and "Jincheng City Arts and Crafts Masters" with the spirit of outstanding contribution of not forgetting the original intention and keeping the mission in mind.
