<b>Fragments of memories from the years</b>
Text/Shandong Zhang Guitang Photo/Network
Turning over the journal of the years, many fragments of memory come to mind. These old objects reflect the past era and those lives.
<b>Enamel teapot</b>
The enamel teapot was a necessity in the 1960s, 1970s, 1970s and 1980s, and was made by porcelain craftsmanship and was particularly durable. At that time, the enamel teapot was a must-have for young people when they got married. Its use is mainly used to drink water to make tea, and sometimes it can also be used to serve rice, which is easy to carry. The shape of the enamel teapot is large and small, and most of the porcelain printed on the outside of the main body is printed with the pattern of dragon and phoenix, accompanied by pictures such as double happy characters and peonies. Some are printed with the head of Chairman Mao Zedong and the words "serving the people", with strong characteristics of the times. The lids of the teapot are mostly red and more vivid.
<b>"Three turns and one ring" four large pieces</b>
"Three turns and one ring", also known as the four major pieces, was a popular word in the 1960s and 1970s. Three of them are Shanghai brand watches, permanent brand bicycles, and bee brand sewing machines. The ringing finger is the radio. At that time, materials were very scarce, and the four major pieces were one of the important criteria for most women to choose a mate. If the average family has this "three turns and one ring", it will win the envious eyes of outsiders.
Shanghai brand watches, in the "three turns and one ring" status is relatively high, is the dream of many young people in the heart of that year. Based on the wages of ordinary workers in the 1970s, buying a "Shanghai brand" watch requires more than half a year's salary to make up for it.
Permanent brand bicycle is a bicycle brand produced by Shanghai Permanent Co., Ltd., which has been famous all over the world for producing "permanent brand" bicycles that are famous throughout the country. In the 1970s and 1980s, bicycles were an upscale means of transportation. Rural wives often use the "permanent card" to marry the bride.
In the 1960s and 1970s, the rarest object was a sewing machine, and if anyone could have a pedaling old-fashioned sewing machine, it would win a lot of envious eyes. Sewing machines made in Shanghai include brands such as bees and butterflies. Bee brand sewing machine, the fuselage is engraved with a golden bee pattern. The Bee brand sewing machine was a famous brand in the 1970s and is said to have won the gold medal of the Ministry of Light Industry.
In the 1960s and 1970s, there were no television sets, and the way people learned about the outside world was mainly by radio. At that time, only the families of cadres and the families of the rich had radios, and there were very few in the homes of ordinary people. At that time, there were Philips, Panda, Sanyo and other brand radios.
<b>Blue and white porcelain jar</b>
Blue and white porcelain, also known as white blue and white porcelain, depicts ornamentation on the ceramic body, and then covers a layer of transparent glaze, which is fired once by high temperature reduction flame. Ancient blue and white porcelain, painting decoration is elegant and elegant, the text at the bottom of the porcelain, the pattern of a wide variety of knowledge, each period of the style has a distinct characteristics of the times. Blue and white porcelain is printed with sentences such as "Fushou Kangning", "Long Life and Wealth", "Ten Thousand Blessings and The Same", expressing people's hopes for a happy life.
I remember when I was a child, there was a blue and white porcelain jar at home. Every waxing month, my mother used this jar to hold cured bacon. The jar is rounded in the shape of a large belly, while the uppermost mouth is very small, rounded and outward-shaped, with a small lid on top. Underneath the closure is a short thin neck connecting the big belly. The shape of the jar is decorated with a delicate and elegant cyan pattern, which should be a pattern of folk blue and white porcelain.
<b>Spinning wheels</b> <b>and</b> <b>looms</b>
Spinning wheels and looms are old objects common in rural households. When I was a child, I was curious to watch my mother spinning thread and weaving fabrics. Sometimes he also secretly shook the spinning wheel a few times, and threw a few shuttles at the loom school. Spinning thread, dyeing thread, warp thread, weaving, and road processes all need to be done carefully with the cooperation of the family. Remember, when my mother saved the thread enough to weave a machine cloth, she washed it and used the loom to weave it into a white cloth or wicker lattice flower cloth. Now, people call these cotton cloths Lu Jin, and the clothes made have a rustic and heavy background, which has the taste of home and the warm feeling of snuggling with their mothers.
Today, these old objects have faded from people's sight and are sealed in the memory of time. Old objects carry good memories of the past and are infiltrated with strong feelings of home and country. Fragments of these years of memory often appear before my eyes, and even after a short period of disappearance, they always return in my mind and have a soul-to-soul exchange with me. As one poet put it, "Old things are buried in the dirt <b>/</b> They will continue to grow in other things." This growth is people's memory, which makes people's impression that they can continue to inhabit the earth and reproduce the beauty of the historical years.
This beauty is always the most moving poetry.
