On the morning of February 15th, at the Xinhong Cultural and Sports Center in Minhang District, the first exhibition hall with the main feature of sachet culture and skill inheritance, "Jinbao Miaoguan", was opened to the public, and the first batch of visitors entered the museum to visit the museum. In the future, when citizens come to this non-genetic heritage base, they can not only visit the intangible cultural heritage exhibits at close range, but also diy exclusive tips by themselves, and discover the hidden "wonderful places" in each corner, so that the five senses can be satisfied in the immersive experience.
According to reports, in 2008, the sachet was selected into the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage expansion project list. For more than ten years, Xinhong Street has continuously enriched the cultural connotation of sachets by cultivating special courses and carrying out sachet making skills and activities, so that Xinhong sachets have gradually become a cultural business card with certain popularity. In order to better inherit and promote the culture and production skills of sachets, Xinhong Street decided to build an intangible cultural heritage (sachet) inheritance base, through the display of intangible cultural heritage projects, intangible cultural heritage skills experience, education and training activities, intangible cultural exchanges, etc., so that more and more people can approach and fall in love with intangible cultural heritage.
The area of the "JinnanMiaoGuan" is about 210 square meters. Entering the exhibition hall, in front of you is a large area of gray and white, all the display decorations are made of wooden boards, there is no complicated pattern, and the minimalist style can quickly focus the audience's attention on the sachet itself. The whole venue is divided into "Appreciation Experience Area" and "Learning and Exchange Area". Among them, the appreciation experience area is subdivided into five parts: "view", "smell", "pei", "yi" and "love", and people can visit in order to get an immersive experience.
"Viewing" means watching. Visitors can intuitively feel the exquisite sachet here. The whole sachet wall is composed of 180 different styles of sachets, from animals to fruits, materials from silk to wood, condensing the history of sachet changes for thousands of years. Among them, a fully handmade "Zhi zhi" sachet attracted many visitors to take pictures. Its overall shape is embroidered with silk thread, and the texture details such as eyes, head, and cicada wings are vivid and very spirited.
"Smell" means smell incense. At the top of the exhibition area hangs many transparent bottles, which contain various medicinal materials such as Bai Zhi, Cang Shu, and Gui Zhi. You can feel the different scents when you get closer, and they are the main material for making sachets.
"Pei" is a display area that is used to display the wearing scene of sachets in daily life. A globe-like skeleton ball is very eye-catching, it is modeled on the Tang Dynasty "grape flower bird pattern silver sachet" enlarged. The sachet is cleverly designed, no matter how it is shaken, the spices inside will not spill out in the slightest, which makes the visitor very curious.
The other two areas, "Yi", that is, medicinal and health care, show the ancient wisdom of using sachets to nourish the spirit of the human body; "love" expresses emotions and sustenance, telling the beautiful meaning of the transmission of sachets, which is also very interesting.
In addition to the sachets, there are also the mascot "Meow Curator" of the "Jinbao Miaoguan", which can be seen everywhere in the museum, with sculptures, stickers, prints, etc., almost all over the exhibition hall in various conspicuous positions or details.
Because the cat's "meow meow" call is in harmony with the word "miao", the "Jinnan Miaoguan" chose to use a cat image as the mascot of the exhibition hall, and named it "Meow Curator". "Meow Curator" is chubby and resembles a sachet of bulging sachets, looks cute and is loved by children.
On the same day, with the opening of the "Jinbao Miaoguan", the original sachet embroidered with the image of "Meow Curator" was also launched at the same time. This sachet is exclusively customized by Chen Xingzhi, the inheritor of the production technique, for the "Tips and Bags Magic Hall". On the royal blue fabric, the sweet smiling cat squatted well,000 characteristics, which attracted many visitors to stop.
In the exhibition hall, the learning and exchange area is an area for teaching and mutual exchange of sachet making. The desks and chairs here can be split and combined according to the needs of different scenes, which meets the needs of the venue from teaching lectures to DIY handicraft workshops and other functions. At today's event site, creative graffiti, hand-made, personalized health sachet formula and other exchange and learning activities have made many experiencers who come to learn excited.
In the handicraft activity area, a group of young people are learning the production of sachets under the guidance of Chen Xingzhi, the inheritor of sachet making skills, selecting different filling spices for their sachets and stitching them one by one. Among the students, some are builders who stay in Shanghai for the New Year, hoping to pray for their families by sewing sachets by hand, and some parents who specially bring their children to experience, hoping to cultivate their children's interest in traditional culture from an early age.
Next, the learning experience area will also successively open special courses and carry out sachet making skills to provide a platform for learning and exchange for residents and friends who like intangible cultural heritage.
