Qilu Network Lightning News On September 10, 2016, crystal clear and beautiful glass products have been favored by domestic and foreign markets. A few days ago, the lightning news reporter followed the "Cloud Talk Shandong" series of external propaganda activities sponsored by the Shandong Provincial Party Committee Foreign Affairs Office, the Propaganda Department of the Shandong Provincial Party Committee, and the Cyberspace Office of the Shandong Provincial Party Committee into an enterprise in Boshan to explore the story behind Liuli.
World glass in China, Chinese glass in Boshan. Speaking of Liuli, we must talk about Xiye Street in Boshan. Boshan Xiye Street was once a liuli street, full of workshops. In the 1930s, almost every household on both sides of Xiye Street was doing glass craftsmanship, and the number of employees reached 4,000. In 1951, Xiye Street established the Furnace Industry Feeder Supply and Marketing Production Cooperative, which was later transformed into Boshan Fine Arts Glass Factory, which brought together the old artists of various craft categories in the glass industry, and this generation had its own skills and became an important inheritance of glass.
Boshan is the birthplace of Chinese glass, generations of glass masters, craftsmen long-term unremitting exploration, the development of red, yellow, white, blue, green and other colors of a wide range of pigments, so that glass products colorful, brilliant. Like "chicken fat yellow" is called a precious pigment, one reason is that as the best in the glass, it needs to add expensive materials such as gold, the formula is complex, and the production process is extremely elaborate, thousands of hammers, the success rate is extremely low, and the glass craftsmen have "ten cylinders and nine failures".
Zibo Aimei Liuli Manufacturing Co., Ltd. was formerly known as the former Boshan Fine Arts Liuli Factory Research Institute. Since 1973, he has participated in the construction of the Malta Glass Crafts Factory. Li Huazeng, who is more than 80 years old, as an employee of the former Boshan Fine Arts Glass Factory, participated in the Boshan Aid project to build a Malta Glass Crafts Factory.
"On March 10, 1973, we arrived in Malta by plane from Beijing and began a three-month field trip. The civil works of the Malta Glass Crafts Factory began at the end of January 1974 and were basically completed by the end of August. On December 5, the Maltese government held a groundbreaking ceremony for the glass handicraft factory, and the deputy prime minister personally cut the ribbon. Mentioning that the past Li Huazeng remembered vividly, he told the lightning news reporter that at that time, according to the requirements of the production process, several professional groups such as infrastructure and technology were divided, bringing together 33 experts from all sides. At the same time, according to the needs of the international market and the preferences of the Maltese people, they have developed dozens of kinds of fish, more than 40 kinds of Santa Claus, Christmas trees, Christmas fruits, candlesticks and other hundred new tricks, opening up the situation of Malta Glass Craft Factory, the products are in short supply. In April 1975, it began to make a profit. At the same time, at the Malta International Exposition in 1975, the various glass flowers and fruits made by boshan fine glass workers on display became the focus of everyone's attention because of the vivid color shape image, and was praised by foreign glass experts. It can be said that the success of this aid project not only established a long-term friendly diplomatic relationship between China and Malta, but also made Boshan Liuli bloom with unique charm and brilliance in the world.
In recent years, Boshan Taoliu has won more than 600 national "Golden Phoenix" and "Hundred Flowers Cup" and other awards, and the master of glass art has been awarded the titles of China Pomegranate King (Liuli), China Sun Liuli Chicken Fat Yellow, Chinese Liuli Grape Sun, China Zhang Liuli Chicken Liver Stone, Chinese Liuli Inner Painting Zhang, etc. Boshan has also been awarded the titles of "China Liuli Town", "Chinese Ceramic Liuli Art Town", "Chinese Tao Liu Cultural City", "National Cultural Export Base" and so on.
