A few years ago
Since childhood, he has a special affection for the sea
The idea of making specimens of marine life was born
"The more you explore, the more obsessed you become"
In three years or so
He produced more than two hundred varieties of specimens
It attracts students from all over the world to visit
He is
Pingtan "post-60s" specimen craftsman Liu Bixing
This issue of Pingtan Lang
Walk into his "underwater world" together
∨
The octopus waved its tentacles ready to flee
The pufferfish looked warily at its surroundings
Blacktip sharks ready to hunt
……
recently
A unique one
Exhibition of marine life specimens
In Fujian Information Vocational and Technical College
Held at the Pingtan Campus
There are a total of 99 marine biological specimens in the exhibition hall
For students to see up close
Abundant specimens of marine life make the entire exhibition hall
It's like an "underwater world."
The specimens on display are from
Hand of Pingtan specimen craftsman Liu Bixing
He wanted to go through the event
Let more kids
Recognize the marine life of Pingtan
Feel the charm of the ocean
Liu Bixing, who grew up in Qingfeng Village
I have my own special feelings for the sea
In 1991
Liu Bixing returned to his hometown of Qingfeng Village from other places to do business
Since then, he has led the villagers to do bionic breeding
In 2019, by chance
He got acquainted
An expert at the Pingtan International Austronesian Language Archaeological Research Base
The two had a great conversation
Idea of making specimens of marine life
It sprouted in his heart
In Liu Bixing's view
Making specimens does not only record species diversity
It is also possible to preserve information about the species
This also became his continuous collection of waters around Pingtan
The dynamics of different species of marine life
For the production of specimens
Liu Bixing prepared 20 car refrigerators
Placed separately in flat pools
Qingfeng Village, Daifuku Village
Donghae Village and Fenwei Pier
Fishermen discover new species
or marine life with excellent morphology
He will freeze it in the refrigerator and contact him
Only love can withstand the long years
Collect and make specimens from the sea
To the final artistic reconstruction
Every work of Liu Bixing
It takes more than twenty days
But he "became more obsessed with the more he explored."
Walk into Liu Bixing's home
The shelves are neatly arranged
Exquisite specimens of marine life
Tables and chairs in the hall
There are production materials
In the room
Temperature control equipment, vacuum machines, etc
Placed in all corners
The plank bed was full
Hundreds of tools are on display
The room was nothing but a chair
There was no place to stay
"Molds, retention mechanisms...
Every biological specimen
Required tools
are not the same,
Adjustments need to be changed at any time. ”
Liu Bixing said
The surface is flat and transparent
The corners are smooth and beautiful
Piece by piece crystal clear
Specimens of marine life
Deceptively simple
But it has all been passed several times
Even dozens of trial and error
to be presented
Talking about specimen craftsmanship
Liu Bixing couldn't help it
"Show off" your own record
Preparation of specimens for research
The longest one
He was at home for 40 days without going out
Careful research, trial and error
Parasites that survive from dependent fish
To the huge blacktip shark
Liu Bixing after three years of research and production
Overcome one difficulty after another
Liu Bixing said
There are no shortcuts to craftsmanship
It depends on care and patience
"I think specimens can also be lively,
Through my early years of knowledge of marine life,
Designing marine organisms to rejuvenate,
By way of embedding,
Clearly displayed without losing fun. ”
Liu Bixing said
Adherence to the quality of the specimen
and an attitude of excellence
Let Liu Bixing produce the work
More and more sophisticated
meanwhile
A bold idea
Also produced in his mind
If it is possible to transfer marine life specimens
"Split in two"
The front shows the agile form of the fish before it was born
The back clearly shows the structure of the fish's bones
Transform marine life specimens
Become a teaching science teaching tool
There is no doubt that more meaning can be given to specimens
Liu Bixing said
"At present, I have completed the production of popular science teaching aids for black snapper.
While maintaining the true form of the black snapper,
Take one side to fully present its internal skeletal structure,
It's a big project. ”
He said
I hope to continue to explore the future
Specimens are made in a popular science way
It is used in early childhood, primary and secondary education
Through the study of specimens
Equip students with a view to marine life
Have a clear and complete understanding
Thus guiding them
Scientifically cherish and care for the natural environment
These years
Specimens produced by Liu Bixing
Up to more than two hundred varieties
It attracts students from all over the world to visit
At present, there are many schools in the experimental area
An invitation was issued to Liu Bixing
Hope for a specimen of his marine life
It can be exhibited at the school
Educate students about marine life
"My goal is
Increase the number of marine life specimens to 500,
I also hope to exhibit in large museums in the future,
Let these artistically present biological specimens
Have the meaning of updating. ”
Liu Bixing said
How to convert crafts into works of art
It is also a question that Liu Bixing is thinking about at the moment
In Liu Bixing's view
Will be originally only in the exhibition hall
Or something you can only see in the lab
"Marine Life Specimens" handicrafts
Transform into a work of art
A new identity as a tourist souvenir or cultural creation
Step out of the flat pool
It will be the future cultural tourism industry of Pingtan
One of the highlights of the development
"As a coastal city,
Many tourists rush to the seafood of Pingtan,
Some like to experience dragnet fishing,
Some like to taste delicious seafood.
If you can still pick
Exquisite marine life cultural and creative specimens,
It's a special experience,
It can also improve the Pingtan International Tourism Island
Reputation and sense of play experience. ”
Liu Bixing said
He will work in this direction in the future
Hopefully more people will join
Contribute to the development of cultural tourism in Pingtan
