Flying Ladies in Dress,
Cute Fluke Tiger Baby,
The miraculous Sun Wukong,
Yi Menghong sister-in-law who saved his life and helped the injured...
If you don't see it with your own eyes,
It's hard to imagine the lifelike "National Wind Handmade" in front of you.
It was made of handmade face molding,
And this is from the hands of the post-90s.
How a clump of noodles is transformed into a variety of forms,
The vivid "National Wind Handmade"?
A new generation of craftsmen and centuries-old traditional craftsmanship
And how to collide with a novel spark?
Recently, with an inquiring eye,
Lightning News reporters came to the provincial intangible cultural heritage list
The studio of Han Hongyuan, the inheritor of the Yi masked sculpture,
When I saw Han Hongyuan,
He is shaping a group of Triumphal Face Sculptures of Shenzhou Thirteen Heroes.
A small ball of dough, kneaded several times,
A few strokes, in an instant,
The dough seems to have been magically cast,
The realistic human face sculpture was born between Han Hongyuan's fingers.
Although hiding in the downtown area,
Han Hongyuan's studio has a quiet,
A classical wooden square table is the workbench of Won Hongyuan.
Han Hongyuan's "Eighteen Weapons" were placed on the stage
- Scissors, combs, and all kinds of knives.
Saying that it is a "knife" is actually of different lengths.
Or flat or round, sharp plastic products at the top.
Han Hong told the Lightning News reporter,
These tools are all hand-polished by hand,
It is a special equipment for making face sculptures.
Face sculpture, commonly known as noodle flowers, buns, flower cakes,
Kneading people, is based on flour,
Blend different colors,
Different images made by pinching hands.
As early as the Han Dynasty, there were written records.
After thousands of years of inheritance and development,
Face sculpture culture has long become a mainland folk art
An integral part.
Han Hongyuan is the fourth generation of yi masked plastic inheritors,
Although still a "post-90s",
But he is already a "teacher" with more than ten years of experience.
"Since I was a child, we have been making face moldings in our family.
But it is not fine enough, it is some flower steamed buns, flower lanterns.
As an adult,
I gradually realized that it would be a pity if this craft was lost. ”
Not willing to let the old craft decline day by day,
Han Hongyuan wants to use new thinking to inherit old craftsmanship.
As the saying goes, "Three points depend on looks, seven points depend on dress." ”
How to make the dough change into a radiant character image,
This requires the face sculpting artist to shape the temperament of the character with dexterous hands.
In order to create a work of agility and transmission,
Han Hongyuan flipped through a large number of materials,
Study history books and familiarize yourself with character allusions.
During this period, he also visited the face sculpting master many times in other places.
Set the strengths of a hundred families.
"Whether a work is good or not, the main thing is to look at the momentum."
Han Hongyuan introduced that everything is difficult at the beginning.
Shaping the character first pinched the head of the character, and the avatar came out,
Then determine the entire torso of the character according to the size of the avatar,
Proportions of the limbs.
And the momentum one comes from the head of the character,
The second is the construction from the skeleton.
The portrayal of the five views requires great detail,
Often need to use the three courts and five eyes positioning method,
Pay attention to the effect exactly the same as that of real people.
The skeleton is made by wrapping the height of the character with iron wire,
Specific shapes are created according to the characteristics of different characters.
From the yimeng red sister-in-law who saved the life and helped the injured,
To the flying lady in the clothes,
Han Hongyuan's works have real people in real life,
There are also legendary figures in classical literature,
However, the details of the character shape of each work and even the sideburns and eyebrows,
All with a story, with a personality.
Some young people like to name his works "Guofeng Handmade".
"In terms of craftsmanship,
I've updated the process of making the dough,
Important links must be preserved. ”
In Han Hongyuan's view, tradition should be preserved,
Innovation is the only way to breathe life.
now
Han Hongyuan has opened face painting courses in many schools in Linyi,
Let the traditional craft come to the students.
"We are in a new era,
The precious memory of intangible cultural heritage should be passed on to more people,
Better inherit and carry forward the excellent traditional culture. ”
Han Hongyuan said.
And the origin of Han's face sculpture is Tancheng County Garden Town,
The heritage of Han's face sculpture has also been incorporated into the protection work,
By guiding non-hereditary inheritors to participate in various trainings and competitions,
Expand the popularity of Han's face sculpture while improving its skills.
