With the arrival of the hot summer, everyone began to prepare sunscreen clothing, small fans and other heat-relieving artifacts. Among the many cool things, fans, as the carrier of traditional Chinese culture in the mainland, are more and more popular among young people. Among them, a cultural and creative product extended by intangible cultural heritage technology innovation - bleaching paint fan, is quietly popular.
Lacquer, which has a history of more than 8,000 years in the mainland, is a national intangible cultural heritage. Lacquer, also known as natural lacquer and raw lacquer, is a pure natural resin paint. It is mentioned in "Shuowen Jie Zi" that "wood juice can be used to make objects, pictograms, and paint like water droplets". Lacquer craftsmanship is widely used, such as lacquerware, lacquer painting, lacquer fans, etc., which are all important parts of Chinese culture.
All kinds of cultural and creative products emerge in an endless stream, and the bleaching paint fan has become the first choice for traditional cultural parent-child experience because of its low production threshold and high DIY level, which is undoubtedly one of the innovative carriers for inheriting traditional culture and bringing intangible cultural heritage to the public. Recently, the reporter came to the "Fang Cun Zheng Tea Space" in Yitian Village, Shenzhen, and experienced the production of a bleaching paint fan.
How is a bleach fan of different colors and rich patterns made?
First of all, it is necessary to conceive of the color, pattern and effect of the fan, and choose the corresponding lacquer color as a match. Then, connect the water in the basin, drip the corresponding lacquer into the water, and stir the corresponding pattern with a wooden stick. Finally, put the fan in the water and take it out and let it dry. Due to the difference in the amount of water dripping into the lacquer, the pattern of the meltwater, the time, etc., the finished product of each lacquer fan is unique. Before the fan comes out of the water, no one can predict what the final pattern will look like, so the whole production process is like "opening a blind box", which is in line with the adventurous and creative gameplay of today's young people.
According to Ms. Chen, two bleaching fans made by the same people using the same lacquer can be very different. "If you want the fan to look better, the color scheme is very important, which will affect the presentation of the final color, for example, yellow and green will become brown when combined." At the same time, the fan can also have a variety of angles and changes in a variety of techniques, such as oblique insertion into the water, upright water entry, Z-shaped water entry, rotary water entry, etc., which will present a different fan effect. "The most important thing is that the whole time should not last too long, otherwise the lacquer will oxidize, and the fan will enter and exit the water quickly."
