On March 23, in Shapo Village, Yangcheng County, Shanxi Province, Qiao Lin was making enamel.
Fahua, also known as Fahua and Fahua, is a kind of color glaze vessel that integrates sculpture, painting and other arts, and was widely used in the southeastern region of Shanxi. The production of enamel requires dozens of processes such as material selection, kneading, glazing, glaze firing, etc., which are complex and complex.
"Post-90s" girl Qiao Lin is the 29th generation inheritor of the traditional handicraft skills of Qiao's "Fahua" ceramics, a provincial intangible cultural heritage in Shanxi. In 2015, after returning from studying abroad, she returned to her hometown of Yangcheng County, Jincheng City, Shanxi Province, and took over the traditional craftsmanship of Fahua from her father. Faced with the dilemma of slow sales of products, Jolene innovated the glaze color of Fahua, adjusted the pattern and content above, and gave Fahua more of the atmosphere of the times. After the improvement and innovation, Fahua is favored by consumers because of its strong design sense, special glaze color and close to the trend.
With more and more market orders, Jolene has also continuously expanded the scale of production, absorbing many surrounding villagers to increase employment and income at the doorstep of their homes. Jolene said, "Growing up watching my elders make Fahua, it has become a part of my life. "Jolene hopes that through her own efforts, the ancient enamel technique will be revitalized."
