Hangzhou Asian Games into the countdown, recently, Yueqing City's provincial arts and crafts master Zhou is a yueqing fine grain engraved paper banner long scroll work "China New Era , Hangzhou New Asian Games" that spent more than 4 months of ingenuity to successfully complete, presenting the Asian Games.
It is understood that the long scroll is a Yueqing fine grain engraving paper work with the theme of the Hangzhou Asian Games, with a total length of 7.1 meters, a height of 0.28 meters, and the length of the unfolding is even higher than that of two floors, breaking the record of 3.5 meters of the Yueqing fine grain engraving paper long scroll "Yandang Mountain", becoming the longest Yueqing fine grain engraving paper work.
Zhou is one in the engraving paper
Overcome difficulties
Self-splicing paper completes long rolls
Zhou Shiyi's Yueqing fine-grained engraved paper long scroll "China New Era, Hangzhou New Asian Games" is exquisitely composed, the lines are smooth, the knife technique is exquisite, the knife technique is exquisite, the beauty is powerful, the relationship is reasonable, the scene is grand, and he expresses his good wishes for the success of the Hangzhou Asian Games.
"Echo border, very laborious." Zhou is a reporter. The reporter saw that the composition of the work was cleverly combined with the expression of Yueqing fine grain engraving paper: the first layer was engraved with a pattern lace style, with strong decoration, which could be infinitely continuous, implying auspicious and long; the inner border of the second layer was engraved with a ruyi cloud pattern, implying auspicious ruyi, and the picture mainly highlighted the Hangzhou city symbol, the Asian Games mascot, the Asian Games emblem, and the focus on displaying 59 sports icons of the Asian Games (including 22 competitive competitions, 18 ball games, 9 confrontational competitions, and 10 water competitions).
"The creation began on October 1 last year, lasted more than 4 months, and was recently framed and finally completed." Zhou Shiyi told reporters that the specification is a challenge, usually engraved paper works on the size of A4 paper, and this time the long roll is up to 7.1 meters, the length of the large paper he chose is only 1.09 meters, the production of long rolls need seven or eight pieces of paper spliced together, pasted with glue, paper overlap is easy to wrinkle. And once the paper is engraved, 10 pieces of paper up to 7.1 meters long are needed to be engraved together. At the beginning, he often put the first piece of paper flattened, the third piece of paper was crumpled, repeatedly, needed good patience, often all day long, only to put together a long piece of paper. It took him about a week to overcome the difficulties and splic together the long pieces of paper he needed as required.
The long roll with a total length of 7.1 is much more difficult to engrave than the single Yueqing fine grain engraving paper. Zhou Isyi thought of a way, after the manuscript was designed, he tried to roll it up, and the strength of the volume also needed to be in place. Carve a paragraph, put another paragraph; a paragraph is carved, then rolled up, kept flat; put another paragraph, and then engraved... In this way, it persisted for more than 4 months, and finally completed the creation of the long volume "China New Era : Hangzhou New Asian Games".
In addition, he created an extended Asian Games-themed series of Yueqing fine-grained paper engravings.
After the official release of the mascot "Jiangnan Yi" of the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou in 2022, the cute images of three robots carrying deep roots and full of vitality of the times - "Chun Chun", "Lotus Lotus" and "Chen Chen" deeply touched Zhou Yiyi, so he used them as the prototype to create Yueqing fine-grained engraved paper bookmarks, allowing them to spread the Olympic spirit in a different form.
