When I first came to the Golden Stone Art Museum, the students were learning about rubbing, nail art and other courses. They were very enthusiastic and took reporters to explain the works in the art museum. The exquisite rubbings are dizzying, and a lifelike fish extension work has attracted the attention of reporters, and they can't help but give it a try. In this way, the reporter got a Yutuo experience class.
Yutuo – An early photograph of a fish
On the morning of May 20, the reporter brought the material told by Director Feng Wanpeng - a slender crucian carp to the Jinshi Art Museum in Henan Province to experience fish extension. Director Feng told reporters that Yutuo belongs to a kind of Chuantuo, which first appeared in the late Qing Dynasty, and is an art of rubbing fresh fish on rice paper, which comes from the fishermen to keep the fish rubbings obtained as a memorial or to participate in competitions. "The main reason for choosing crucian carp is that it is slender and long, and it is relatively easy to extend." Curator Feng treated the crucian carp with brine and placed it on a piece of foam paper.
After that, he compares the size of the fish, cuts a shape on foam paper that can put the fish in, and then fixes the fish with a tack, and the preparation is ready. "When coloring, we should pay attention to the dryness and wetness of the pigment, not too dry, otherwise it will not be extended; It should not be too wet, and it is easy to make a mess of the fish. Curator Feng painted the fish as he spoke. Today's fish tuo, choose red, yellow and white, red coated fins, yellow coated fish scales, white coated fish belly, and the transition of two pigments needs to be carried out in the middle. "Yutuo is actually very simple, but you need to pay attention to two things, one is to be careful enough, and the other is to paste the paper after coating the fish, fast and accurate." Director Feng added.
After coloring, Director Feng pressed the rice paper on the fish, and pressed the fish's body from head to tail, and when the paint appeared through the rice paper, the rice paper was uncovered, and a fish jumped onto the paper, as if it was about to jump out of the rice paper. The charm of Yutuo is probably this, recording perishable fish on rice paper that can be preserved, so that the fish can gain "eternal life" in another sense.
Yutuo works
Based on the foundation, continue to develop and innovate
As the oldest technique in mainland China, it is also an intangible cultural heritage, with nearly 2,000 years of history and culture. Director Feng said that when he first came into contact with Chuantuo, he was attracted by Chuantuo and was determined to learn this skill well. "Due to physical inconvenience, I need to work harder than others to learn and expand on my own." Feng Wanpeng was born in an ordinary farming family in Dengfeng, is a disabled person with congenital scoliosis, in 2016 contact with Chuantuo, is now the director of Henan Jinshi Art Museum, successfully held a number of art exhibitions, but also on the basis of the traditional extension of the invention of "three-dimensional effect extension" and "three-dimensional full-type extension" two practical technology patents, but also innovated the "color gold extension" extension method.
In the exhibition hall of works, exquisite exhibits show their determination to be determined to be disabled and never bow to fate. When I saw that the reporter was paying attention to a colorful work "Five Sons Sending Blessings", Director Feng explained: "I used to focus on Motuo and Zhu Tuo, until I went to Beijing in 2018 to participate in a program, and the audience said that they liked rubbing, but because it didn't match the decoration style at home, they asked me if I could have rubbings of other colors." After I came back, I kept the words of this audience in mind, so I innovated the extension method of 'Lottery Spread', so that some auspicious and festive works are no longer dull. ”
Director Feng introduced the rubbings in the collection
When the reporter asked about the relationship between innovation and tradition, Director Feng said: "The tradition of Chuantuo is the foundation, and innovation is the embodiment of its development in line with the times. "Chuantuo is not only a traditional skill, but also a traditional culture passed down from generation to generation, and it is also a strong stroke of Chinese's cultural self-confidence.
