Today (23rd), Liu Guijuan, a member of the Tianjin CppcC Committee and a Qingyi actor of the Young Peking Opera Troupe, was a little annoyed, and she did not expect that her pursuit of art had attracted a scolding. Everything is because of a head of green noodles. The feathers made of dot green jade need to be plucked from live kingfishers, and Liu Guijuan publicly stated on Weibo that in order to be responsible for art, it is better to use double the kingfisher, which makes the animal protection people intolerable. This side scolded her for abusing animals, but she insisted that this was "Wumao" deliberately looking for fault, so the public opinion war escalated...

Diancui is a traditional Chinese gold and silver jewelry making process, one of the commonly used head faces in Peking Opera Qingyi, which is divided into hard and soft jade according to the size of the kingfisher feathers used. Diancui first appeared in the Han and Wei dynasties, and the level of craftsmanship in the Qianlong era had reached its peak. Villagers who have seen "The Biography of Zhen Huan" will not be unfamiliar with the "Diancui" on the head of "Huafei Niangniang", it is said that the big phoenix in the middle of the head of "Huafei" is the real thing of that year, and now the market price of a set of Diancui is nearly 1 million yuan.

If you really want to say, nobility and beauty are not the biggest features of Diancui. The feathers needed for the dotted kingfisher must be plucked from the living kingfisher to ensure that the color is bright and gorgeous. Hard kingfisher generally takes ten on the left and right wings of the kingfisher (jargon called "big strip"),and eight tail feathers (called "tail strip" in the jargon), so a kingfisher generally uses only about twenty-eight feathers, and the feathers of the sick and dead kingfisher generally cannot be made into good jewelry.
Dot cui headdress
And Liu Guijuan posted on the Internet that the head of the point of cui, roughly estimated to use 80 kingfishers, and according to her, "Mr. Mei Lanfang's point of green is absolutely the same color of soft green, one head probably needs hundreds of kingfishers." This has caused heartache to many animal lovers. But Liu Guijuan did not take this into account, and continued to talk about "being responsible for art, preferring to spend more money, doubling the kingfisher, and buying the best", which caused public opinion to attack. Today, the Global Times WeChat public account published An article by Hu Yan, which comprehensively sorted out the process of Liu Guijuan's actor's involvement in this public opinion dispute, and put forward five views on where the mistakes of showing off the dots are. Should it be important to be responsible for art, or to cherish animal life?
The following is the Global Times Hu Yan article:
Liu Guijuan, a member of the Tianjin CppcC Committee and a well-known Peking Opera actress, has been scolded on Weibo in the past two days. Because the glorious crown she wears on her head is made of the feathers of a kingfisher that has been plucked from life... However, the actress, who enjoys the subsidy of the State Council, insisted that this was "Wumao" deliberately looking for fault, constantly arguing and blurring the focus of the problem...
Zhu Cui's head was trembling, the long sleeves of her clothes flew like clouds, and her eyebrows were apricot eyes and lips and shell teeth... The appearance of Peking Opera Danjiao can be described as beautiful, like a fairy in the sky.
However, the blue on the head of Liu Guijuan, the big green coat of Peking Opera, makes people feel mixed, and in recent days, it has attracted countless bird lovers and netizens.
Netizens took a stand
Liu Guijuan, Cheng Pai Qingyi of Tianjin Youth Peking Opera Troupe, national first-class actor, winner of plum blossom award, member of the Tianjin Municipal Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, enjoys special allowances from the State Council. A few days ago, she posted a picture with an article on Weibo, showing Liu Guijuan on the side, and the blue headdress was inserted into the top of her head. In the text, Liu Guijuan said: This head of the dot cui head noodles, bought more than ten years ago, spent 120,000 soft sister coins, today even more than 400,000 yuan can not buy, eighty kingfisher wings under a little feather, after the processing of the dot cui master, into a flowing luster of the head face, never fade.
But many animal lovers, and even some zoo staff, saw it and shed tears of resentment: eighty kingfishers, small figures, draped in blue feathers, were finally plucked from their feathers by a pair of evil hands. The bloody frightened eyes and the gradually withering life were exchanged for the blue on Liu Guijuan's head. Is it worth it? Beautiful or not? Does it hurt?
However, Liu Guijuan continued to talk about the beauty of the "Diancui" head on Weibo, shouting that the "Diancui" head was good, saying that "responsible for art, I would rather spend more money, double the kingfisher, but also buy the best", completely disregarding the life of the kingfisher.

So a wave of public opinion began to attack her. Liu Guijuan did not show weakness, calling the opposition voices "neurotic" and "five hairs" on Weibo. With the further expansion of the opposition, Liu Guijuan deleted the previous Weibo, but she continued to release new Weibo to fight back, and then immediately deleted... Pretty strange.
Some netizens said that kingfishers cannot be artificially raised, their guts are extremely small, but their feathers must be taken alive, most of them die, or they are made into specimens. Some netizens said that diancui is a live plucked bird feather, and secondly, all kingfisher species are listed on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Some netizens said, do you say that the blue is beautiful? When it grows on kingfishers, it is suffocatingly gorgeous. But when I stuck to the jewelry, what I saw was not blue, but a blood red. This, like the ivory rhinoceros crane top red, is not a necessity for life, but some people force them to give them "expensive" symbols to satisfy their self-interest, but it brings great disasters to individual animals and ecological balance.

Some netizens also expressed solidarity with Liu Guijuan, saying: Peking Opera is a traditional art because of its exquisite refinement, it can be called the national essence, whether it is clothing or head face or other links, it is part of the national essence of Peking Opera. Now what to use to make the head noodles that is one thing, the inheritance of the treasure is another thing, Tianjin Youth Peking Opera Troupe is a thriving domestic outstanding Peking Opera Troupe after the reform and opening up, Liu Guijuan in accordance with the tradition of the industry, there are several sets of decent head noodles are not excessive, but also matched, which and environmental protection can not be related.
Some netizens also gave suggestions: I really hope that the future crew (artists) will start from the perspective of loving life on the earth and use more imitation jewelry, in fact, in addition to experts, it is difficult for ordinary people to point out the major differences between the two. Whether it is professional or fans, it is not so difficult to learn to do it yourself. Pretty good-looking!
In October 2014, Guangdong police seized about 60,000 dead, one-ton wild birds, most of them kingfishers, totaling 28 boxes. Each box contains information such as the species, weight, and number of birds in the box, and the length of each dead bird is about 10 centimeters, less than the palm of a hand. According to reports at the time, these birds belonged to the beneficial, economically important economic and scientific research value of terrestrial wild animals, rather than national rare animals, according to the relevant provisions of the Wildlife Protection Law of the People's Republic of China, the above-mentioned net fishing and trafficking personnel were only subject to administrative punishment and were not investigated for criminal responsibility.
60,000 have not yet been convicted, and 80 kingfishers in exchange for a dotted kingfisher seems even less worth mentioning. However, what is wrong with Liu Guijuan's "Diancui"?
Judging from the information revealed by Ms. Liu Guijuan's Weibo, there are indeed several points that are debatable:
1, human civilization has evolved to the present, respect for life has reached the height of this social stage, Ms. Liu Guijuan in the Weibo praise of cui beautiful, mentioned more than eighty kingfishers, she should feel something wrong in her heart, but she did not realize;
2, showing off wealth is not right. More than ten years ago, 120,000 people bought Diancui, she said that now more than 400,000 can not buy, artists do not talk about art, talk about the value and appreciation of the head of the art purchase is more inappropriate, the social value has changed, showing off wealth has been disdainful, the whole society is practicing economy;
3. Artists pursue virtue and art, and art must be more virtuous. Kingfisher is also life, not worth much, but as an artist on the Internet and netizens "scold" a day, do not humbly accept the modern social psychology, social values, and modern concepts of advice, forget that art should also keep pace with the times? As a national first-class actor and a member of the Tianjin Municipal Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, what the society hopes to see is to pay attention to people's livelihood, advise the pros and cons, and be positive and good, if this is not the case, you can be a low-key person, why come out to show off?
4, the economy has developed rapidly, ecological damage has become an irreparable regret, kingfisher is also a member of the ecology, do not love kingfisher on it, but also to kill birds for fun, really should not;
5. Now that it is a legal society, kingfishers are also protected by law to a certain extent. If you disregard the law, everything is beautiful with money and vanity, and you should be spurned!
Art does not keep pace with the times and is out of touch with the social environment, so it should enter the history museum. In short, the life of more than eighty kingfishers is worn on the head, and the beauty is still not beautiful, and the world knows it.
