Bottle by bottle, one mirror image, freeze the beauty of time
The inner painting snuff bottle is a traditional handicraft with Chinese characteristics.
In the 17th century, snuff was popular in Europe, and was introduced to China in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, when the container was mainly a snuff box, and then there was a unique Chinese-style snuff bottle, mostly crystal, glass, amber and other materials. Nowadays, people's habit of using snuff is almost extinct, but the snuff bottle has been handed down as a delicate, pocket-sized work of art, and the key factor is the art of inner painting.
The inner painting of the snuff bottle is based on Chinese painting and inherits the essence of Chinese painting, Chinese stories, Chinese landscapes, Chinese texts... It is vividly displayed between the square inches of the snuff bottle. Nowadays, the inner painting of snuff bottles is mainly divided into four major schools of painting: Beijing, Lu, Hebei and Guangdong.
As a national intangible cultural heritage, the Painting Method of Lu Pai Inner Painting is to use a special curved inner brush to paint in reverse from the pot that is as small as a bean, and to draw a meticulous picture by hand, that is, "painting the world between square inches".
In the Weihai Snuff Bottle Inner Painting Museum, you can see Lu Pai Inner Painting Snuff Bottles of various themes, all of which are elegant in style and exquisite in brushstrokes.
Whether it is calligraphy or painting depicted in the inner painting, it must conform to the visual habits of the left and right eyes of human beings. "When creating, you should concentrate on calming down and focus your strength entirely on your wrist. Most importantly, there is no regret in writing, and it is required to be completed at one time, otherwise a small flaw may lead to the whole work starting from scratch. Si Wenjie, the inheritor of Weihai inner painting snuff bottle art, said that inner painting is a special test of skill, which requires extremely high eyesight and mental strength, and also requires a good sense of direction and manipulation.
Lu Pai's painting has the praise of "the sleeve is really big, and the sun and moon in the pot are all encompassing", "so our subject matter involves characters, landscapes, flowers and birds, calligraphy and so on." "Si Wenjie showed a work in the museum, eight immortals across the sea to paint snuff bottles." This snuff bottle depicts eight figures, each with a very clear face, using internal painting techniques such as rubbing, rubbing, hooking, dyeing, tearing, etc., and the colors are also gradientd from thick to light. ”
Exquisitely carved square inches, there is a lot of dry in the small pot. "Inner painting is a test of patience, the completion of a work takes a long time to polish, the short one takes four or five days, the long one takes several months, you must sink your heart and be able to stick to it." Si Wenjie said.
It is the inheritance and innovation of many inner painting practitioners, constantly seeking the perfect combination of people's objective needs and inner painting art, so that the traditional craft of Lupai inner painting has been fortunately preserved and continuously developed.
Since the development of Lupai inner painting, there have been many categories such as inner painting snuff bottle, inner painting crystal ball, inner painting screen, inner painting Buddha bead, portrait inner painting pot and so on.
A pen, a pot, and thousands of scenes are hidden between the square inches, condensing the spirit and charm of countless craftsmen.
