Of all the arts and crafts in China, there are eight crafts that are particularly special, and they are the "Eight Gems of Yanjing": filigree inlay, cloisonné, carved lacquer, gold lacquer inlay, Beijing embroidery, palace embroidery, jade carving, and ivory carving.
Because they were crafts born for royal etiquette, most of them gradually lost when the "royal" disappeared.
Gorky said: "The demise of a craft represents the disappearance of a small museum." "But if Yanjing is eight absolute, it is really a great sound, but it is the entire mountain of Chinese craftsmanship that disappears."
When the Qianlong Emperor was 80 years old, he issued ten sacred decrees in a row, selected 80 from thousands of craftsmen across the country, and personally supervised them to make a treasure - the Jin Ou Yonggu Cup.
Every strand of this cup is gold, but each one is as thin as a strand of hair. Because each gold thread has been pulled dozens of times, and finally the gold is mistaken into various patterns and woven, the process used is called "filigree inlay".

Then set with small pieces of jade, red sapphire, filigree wisps of exquisite exquisite, clever hands inlaid with Qiankun, is the first of the eight best in Yanjing.
This Ming Dynasty golden silk dragon wing good crown discovered in 1956 has a "lantern empty" pattern woven from 518 0.2 mm gold wires.
The fine and dense gold silk thread, as thin as light yarn, and as light as a cicada wing, and there is no joint or broken silk between the filaments. The hollowed-out dragon body, the engraved dragon head, and a filled flame bead in the middle, as if as long as there is a thunderbolt, there is a great potential to soar.
The brilliance of filigree inlay is that its degree of complexity and luxury exceeds everyone's imagination, but it is not bulky or deliberate, but flexible.

One day, Lin Huiyin bought a cloisonné vase at an old antique stall. The old stall owner said to her: "This is authentic cloisonné, you can't see it elsewhere, it has been bustling for hundreds of years, and it is the root of it at this point." ”
Soon Lin Huiyin set up a team to save cloisonné, and before she died, this work was not completed, and she still kept telling the students: "Cloisonné is a national treasure, do not be lost in New China." ”

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, there was a poem praising: "In the middle of the world, the stunt is high, and the five continents of cloisonné are overwhelmed." "The best of cloisonné is the best of technology.
In 2001, a peony-patterned red box sold for 12.87 million yuan, the highest price ever auctioned for carving lacquer.

Of all the arts and crafts in China, there are eight crafts that are particularly special, and they are the "Eight Gems of Yanjing": filigree inlay, cloisonné, carved lacquer, gold lacquer inlay, Beijing embroidery, palace embroidery, jade carving, and ivory carving.

Of all the arts and crafts in China, there are eight crafts that are particularly special, and they are the "Eight Gems of Yanjing": filigree inlay, cloisonné, carved lacquer, gold lacquer inlay, Beijing embroidery, palace embroidery, jade carving, and ivory carving.
Because they were crafts born for royal etiquette, most of them gradually lost when the "royal" disappeared.
Gorky said: "The demise of a craft represents the disappearance of a small museum." "But if Yanjing is eight absolute, it is really a great sound, but it is the entire mountain of Chinese craftsmanship that disappears."
When the Qianlong Emperor was 80 years old, he issued ten sacred decrees in a row, selected 80 from thousands of craftsmen across the country, and personally supervised them to make a treasure - the Jin Ou Yonggu Cup.
Every strand of this cup is gold, but each one is as thin as a strand of hair. Because each gold thread has been pulled dozens of times, and finally the gold is mistaken into various patterns and woven, the process used is called "filigree inlay".

The hollowed-out dragon body, the engraved dragon head, and a filled flame bead in the middle, as if as long as there is a thunderbolt, there is a great potential to soar.
The brilliance of filigree inlay is that its degree of complexity and luxury exceeds everyone's imagination, but it is not bulky or deliberate, but flexible.

One day, Lin Huiyin bought a cloisonné vase at an old antique stall. The old stall owner said to her: "This is authentic cloisonné, you can't see it elsewhere, it has been bustling for hundreds of years, and it is the root of it at this point." ”
Soon Lin Huiyin set up a team to save cloisonné, and before she died, this work was not completed, and she still kept telling the students: "Cloisonné is a national treasure, do not be lost in New China." ”
This copper wire cornucopia on a blue background is a classic cloisonné work. The pale blue and green color under the light is like the golden blue sea at the dawn of the morning light, the golden waves churning with blooming passionflowers, and a fish on the bowl like jumping on the sea.
Cloisonné, just named "copper tire filigree enamel", integrates the bronze industry, literati painting, jade engraving, gold and silver filigree and other crafts of Xia Shang, and finally points on enamel, firing, hand polishing hundreds of times.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, there was a poem praising: "In the middle of the world, the stunt is high, and the five continents of cloisonné are overwhelmed." "The best of cloisonné is the best of technology.
In 2001, a peony-patterned red box sold for 12.87 million yuan, the highest price ever auctioned for carving lacquer.
Many people can't understand that this is just a small box that is well carved and actually auctioned for the price of a villa.
In fact, the absolute reason is that lacquer is rare.
The lacquer is taken from the lacquer tree, the knife cuts the bark, and the container is used to touch the ground drop by drop, a 16-year-old lacquer tree, but the annual lacquer production is only 250 grams.
And then brush on the wooden tire one by one, 1 mm thickness of the paint needs to brush 16-18 paint, a piece of ordinary lacquerware needs at least 6,7 mm thickness, if you brush a hundred dozen paint, it takes three or five months.
This hard-won lacquer, and the brushing and carving day and night, are destined to be precious to the red picker.
With the protection of lacquer, lacquerware is waterproof, anti-corrosion, moisture-resistant, wear-resistant and fall-resistant. A painted lacquer bird pattern ear cup of the Western Han Dynasty, after 2000, the pure red paint in the cup has not faded.
The perfection of carving paint lies in carving, but also in the color.
The natural lacquer is a milky white sap that turns a thick brownish red after oxidation in the air, but then turns black after a slight thick coating.
The gold lacquer inlay is to paint in a dark world, depicting the flowers and thousands of beings in the world.
This landscape pavilion painting box uses a whole piece of gold leaf to paste the shape of the mountain and the roof, and then depicts the outline of the mountain and the roof. The gold leaf is ground into gold powder, mixed into a liquid and dipped in a pen to depict flowers, and the black of the lacquer is used to set off a landscape pavilion.
Some use shells embedded in lacquerware, called "screw inlay"; or with agate, jade, jasper, coral, etc. as the material, also known as "hundred treasure inlay".
The screen inlaid with gold lacquer is often made of black lacquer, and the shells with pearl light color are inlaid with flowers and birds, mountain stones, terraces, and screws. The gold lacquer inlay is the deep night blooming flowers.
In "Yanxi Raiders", Wei Yongluo counterattacked all the way from an embroidery lady to a concubine, in fact, in the embroidery bureau of the Qing court, the embroidery women were all men. Because there is an embroidery art that "passes on men and does not pass on women", it is Beijing embroidery.
Compared with Su embroidery, Cantonese embroidery, Xiang embroidery, Shu embroidery, Beijing embroidery has no sense of existence. Probably in the Ming and Qing dynasties, Beijing embroidery was only for the emperor and concubines, and the people rarely saw each other.

However, Yu Jing, the inheritor of Beijing embroidery, believes that Beijing embroidery has actually absorbed the "length of a hundred families", integrated Su embroidery, Cantonese embroidery, etc., and developed into a royal handmade embroidery. And the integration of the country's major excellent embroidery techniques, to create a new embroidery method, flat gold seed embroidery.
The gold is twisted into thread, and after the needle is raised, the gold thread is circled on the tip of the needle, held down with the finger, and the falling needle tightens the embroidery thread to fix it to become a ring-shaped knot. After the embroidery, it is like a gold seed knotted on the embroidery cloth, like a little star in the dark night.
It can be imagined that in the 21st century, Beijing embroidery no longer needs to serve the royal family, it faces a more difficult dilemma than Su embroidery and Cantonese embroidery, if it is lost, the loss is not only Beijing embroidery, but "the show of a hundred families".
There is nothing that the emperor can't get, except for this "golden blanket", the emperor wants to take a detour when he sees it.

In 2001, a peony-patterned red box sold for 12.87 million yuan, the highest price ever auctioned for carving lacquer.
Many people can't understand that this is just a small box that is well carved and actually auctioned for the price of a villa.
In fact, the absolute reason is that lacquer is rare.
The lacquer is taken from the lacquer tree, the knife cuts the bark, and the container is used to touch the ground drop by drop, a 16-year-old lacquer tree, but the annual lacquer production is only 250 grams.
And then brush on the wooden tire one by one, 1 mm thickness of the paint needs to brush 16-18 paint, a piece of ordinary lacquerware needs at least 6,7 mm thickness, if you brush a hundred dozen paint, it takes three or five months.
This hard-won lacquer, and the brushing and carving day and night, are destined to be precious to the red picker.
With the protection of lacquer, lacquerware is waterproof, anti-corrosion, moisture-resistant, wear-resistant and fall-resistant. A painted lacquer bird pattern ear cup of the Western Han Dynasty, after 2000, the pure red paint in the cup has not faded.
The perfection of carving paint lies in carving, but also in the color.
The natural lacquer is a milky white sap that turns a thick brownish red after oxidation in the air, but then turns black after a slight thick coating.
The gold lacquer inlay is to paint in a dark world, depicting the flowers and thousands of beings in the world.
This landscape pavilion painting box uses a whole piece of gold leaf to paste the shape of the mountain and the roof, and then depicts the outline of the mountain and the roof. The gold leaf is ground into gold powder, mixed into a liquid and dipped in a pen to depict flowers, and the black of the lacquer is used to set off a landscape pavilion.
Some use shells embedded in lacquerware, called "screw inlay"; or with agate, jade, jasper, coral, etc. as the material, also known as "hundred treasure inlay".

In "Yanxi Raiders", Wei Yongluo counterattacked all the way from an embroidery lady to a concubine, in fact, in the embroidery bureau of the Qing court, the embroidery women were all men. Because there is an embroidery art that "passes on men and does not pass on women", it is Beijing embroidery.
Compared with Su embroidery, Cantonese embroidery, Xiang embroidery, Shu embroidery, Beijing embroidery has no sense of existence. Probably in the Ming and Qing dynasties, Beijing embroidery was only for the emperor and concubines, and the people rarely saw each other.

However, Yu Jing, the inheritor of Beijing embroidery, believes that Beijing embroidery has actually absorbed the "length of a hundred families", integrated Su embroidery, Cantonese embroidery, etc., and developed into a royal handmade embroidery. And the integration of the country's major excellent embroidery techniques, to create a new embroidery method, flat gold seed embroidery.
The gold is twisted into thread, and after the needle is raised, the gold thread is circled on the tip of the needle, held down with the finger, and the falling needle tightens the embroidery thread to fix it to become a ring-shaped knot. After the embroidery, it is like a gold seed knotted on the embroidery cloth, like a little star in the dark night.
It can be imagined that in the 21st century, Beijing embroidery no longer needs to serve the royal family, it faces a more difficult dilemma than Su embroidery and Cantonese embroidery, if it is lost, the loss is not only Beijing embroidery, but "the show of a hundred families".
There is nothing that the emperor can't get, except for this "golden blanket", the emperor wants to take a detour when he sees it.
The pan gold carpet is one of the palace blankets, woven with gold thread. But the gold had to be pounded into thin slices, thin enough to unfold an acre of land, then cut into strips smaller than leeks, and finally wrapped in wool threads for weaving.

In 2003, the team of Kang Yusheng, the inheritor of the palace carpet, woven a pan gold carpet "Belt on the Dynasty", which is two meters wide and three meters high, and uses nearly 10,000 meters of gold thread. However, this craft is absolutely indispensable, "the front does not reveal the yarn, and the back does not reveal the gold".
Because when weaving, there are two warp threads in the front and back, the front is coiled with gold, and the back is coiled with yarn.
Even if the royal palace and the golden carpet are not used casually, they can only be laid on major ceremonies or celebrations, such as the emperor's wedding, and they must be collected as soon as they are used.

Monogatari:
Of all the arts and crafts in China, there are eight crafts that are particularly special, and they are the "Eight Gems of Yanjing": filigree inlay, cloisonné, carved lacquer, gold lacquer inlay, Beijing embroidery, palace embroidery, jade carving, and ivory carving.
Because they were crafts born for royal etiquette, most of them gradually lost when the "royal" disappeared.
Gorky said: "The demise of a craft represents the disappearance of a small museum." "But if Yanjing is eight absolute, it is really a great sound, but it is the entire mountain of Chinese craftsmanship that disappears."
When the Qianlong Emperor was 80 years old, he issued ten sacred decrees in a row, selected 80 from thousands of craftsmen across the country, and personally supervised them to make a treasure - the Jin Ou Yonggu Cup.
Every strand of this cup is gold, but each one is as thin as a strand of hair. Because each gold thread has been pulled dozens of times, and finally the gold is mistaken into various patterns and woven, the process used is called "filigree inlay".

The hollowed-out dragon body, the engraved dragon head, and a filled flame bead in the middle, as if as long as there is a thunderbolt, there is a great potential to soar.
The brilliance of filigree inlay is that its degree of complexity and luxury exceeds everyone's imagination, but it is not bulky or deliberate, but flexible.

One day, Lin Huiyin bought a cloisonné vase at an old antique stall. The old stall owner said to her: "This is authentic cloisonné, you can't see it elsewhere, it has been bustling for hundreds of years, and it is the root of it at this point." ”

Many people can't understand that this is just a small box that is well carved and actually auctioned for the price of a villa.
In fact, the absolute reason is that lacquer is rare.
The lacquer is taken from the lacquer tree, the knife cuts the bark, and the container is used to touch the ground drop by drop, a 16-year-old lacquer tree, but the annual lacquer production is only 250 grams.
And then brush on the wooden tire one by one, 1 mm thickness of the paint needs to brush 16-18 paint, a piece of ordinary lacquerware needs at least 6,7 mm thickness, if you brush a hundred dozen paint, it takes three or five months.
This hard-won lacquer, and the brushing and carving day and night, are destined to be precious to the red picker.

The perfection of carving paint lies in carving, but also in the color.
The natural lacquer is a milky white sap that turns a thick brownish red after oxidation in the air, but then turns black after a slight thick coating.
The gold lacquer inlay is to paint in a dark world, depicting the flowers and thousands of beings in the world.
This landscape pavilion painting box uses a whole piece of gold leaf to paste the shape of the mountain and the roof, and then depicts the outline of the mountain and the roof. The gold leaf is ground into gold powder, mixed into a liquid and dipped in a pen to depict flowers, and the black of the lacquer is used to set off a landscape pavilion.

The screen inlaid with gold lacquer is often made of black lacquer, and the shells with pearl light color are inlaid with flowers and birds, mountain stones, terraces, and screws. The gold lacquer inlay is the deep night blooming flowers.
In "Yanxi Raiders", Wei Yongluo counterattacked all the way from an embroidery lady to a concubine, in fact, in the embroidery bureau of the Qing court, the embroidery women were all men. Because there is an embroidery art that "passes on men and does not pass on women", it is Beijing embroidery.
Compared with Su embroidery, Cantonese embroidery, Xiang embroidery, Shu embroidery, Beijing embroidery has no sense of existence. Probably in the Ming and Qing dynasties, Beijing embroidery was only for the emperor and concubines, and the people rarely saw each other.

However, Yu Jing, the inheritor of Beijing embroidery, believes that Beijing embroidery has actually absorbed the "length of a hundred families", integrated Su embroidery, Cantonese embroidery, etc., and developed into a royal handmade embroidery. And the integration of the country's major excellent embroidery techniques, to create a new embroidery method, flat gold seed embroidery.
The gold is twisted into thread, and after the needle is raised, the gold thread is circled on the tip of the needle, held down with the finger, and the falling needle tightens the embroidery thread to fix it to become a ring-shaped knot. After the embroidery, it is like a gold seed knotted on the embroidery cloth, like a little star in the dark night.
It can be imagined that in the 21st century, Beijing embroidery no longer needs to serve the royal family, it faces a more difficult dilemma than Su embroidery and Cantonese embroidery, if it is lost, the loss is not only Beijing embroidery, but "the show of a hundred families".
There is nothing that the emperor can't get, except for this "golden blanket", the emperor wants to take a detour when he sees it.

In 2003, the team of Kang Yusheng, the inheritor of the palace carpet, woven a pan gold carpet "Belt on the Dynasty", which is two meters wide and three meters high, and uses nearly 10,000 meters of gold thread. However, this craft is absolutely indispensable, "the front does not reveal the yarn, and the back does not reveal the gold".
Because when weaving, there are two warp threads in the front and back, the front is coiled with gold, and the back is coiled with yarn.
Even if the royal palace and the golden carpet are not used casually, they can only be laid on major ceremonies or celebrations, such as the emperor's wedding, and they must be collected as soon as they are used.

The emperor specially set up a "thin tire Xifanzuo" for this purpose, specializing in jade carving. But after Qianlong, this craft gradually lost.
Because when carving, the mood of every jade smith is frightened, and the carving is like walking on thin ice, afraid of a hand shaking, suddenly, gone. Jade looks gentle and weak, but the inside is very hard, no different from the temperament of the literati.

Monogatari:
Of all the arts and crafts in China, there are eight crafts that are particularly special, and they are the "Eight Gems of Yanjing": filigree inlay, cloisonné, carved lacquer, gold lacquer inlay, Beijing embroidery, palace embroidery, jade carving, and ivory carving.
Because they were crafts born for royal etiquette, most of them gradually lost when the "royal" disappeared.
Gorky said: "The demise of a craft represents the disappearance of a small museum." "But if Yanjing is eight absolute, it is really a great sound, but it is the entire mountain of Chinese craftsmanship that disappears."
When the Qianlong Emperor was 80 years old, he issued ten sacred decrees in a row, selected 80 from thousands of craftsmen across the country, and personally supervised them to make a treasure - the Jin Ou Yonggu Cup.
Every strand of this cup is gold, but each one is as thin as a strand of hair. Because each gold thread has been pulled dozens of times, and finally the gold is mistaken into various patterns and woven, the process used is called "filigree inlay".

In 2003, the team of Kang Yusheng, the inheritor of the palace carpet, woven a pan gold carpet "Belt on the Dynasty", which is two meters wide and three meters high, and uses nearly 10,000 meters of gold thread. However, this craft is absolutely indispensable, "the front does not reveal the yarn, and the back does not reveal the gold".
Because when weaving, there are two warp threads in the front and back, the front is coiled with gold, and the back is coiled with yarn.
Even if the royal palace and the golden carpet are not used casually, they can only be laid on major ceremonies or celebrations, such as the emperor's wedding, and they must be collected as soon as they are used.

The emperor specially set up a "thin tire Xifanzuo" for this purpose, specializing in jade carving. But after Qianlong, this craft gradually lost.
Because when carving, the mood of every jade smith is frightened, and the carving is like walking on thin ice, afraid of a hand shaking, suddenly, gone. Jade looks gentle and weak, but the inside is very hard, no different from the temperament of the literati.

Of all the arts and crafts in China, there are eight crafts that are particularly special, and they are the "Eight Gems of Yanjing": filigree inlay, cloisonné, carved lacquer, gold lacquer inlay, Beijing embroidery, palace embroidery, jade carving, and ivory carving.
Because they were crafts born for royal etiquette, most of them gradually lost when the "royal" disappeared.
Gorky said: "The demise of a craft represents the disappearance of a small museum." "But if Yanjing is eight absolute, it is really a great sound, but it is the entire mountain of Chinese craftsmanship that disappears."
When the Qianlong Emperor was 80 years old, he issued ten sacred decrees in a row, selected 80 from thousands of craftsmen across the country, and personally supervised them to make a treasure - the Jin Ou Yonggu Cup.
Every strand of this cup is gold, but each one is as thin as a strand of hair. Because each gold thread has been pulled dozens of times, and finally the gold is mistaken into various patterns and woven, the process used is called "filigree inlay".

Filigree inlay is made of silk, which is precious to gold, but it is thin and light, breaking through people's imagination of the bulkiness of gold. Then set with small pieces of jade, red sapphire, filigree wisps of exquisite exquisite, clever hands inlaid with Qiankun, is the first of the eight best in Yanjing.
This Ming Dynasty golden silk dragon wing good crown discovered in 1956 has a "lantern empty" pattern woven from 518 0.2 mm gold wires.
The fine and dense gold silk thread, as thin as light yarn, and as light as a cicada wing, and there is no joint or broken silk between the filaments. The hollowed-out dragon body, the engraved dragon head, and a filled flame bead in the middle, as if as long as there is a thunderbolt, there is a great potential to soar.
The brilliance of filigree inlay is that its degree of complexity and luxury exceeds everyone's imagination, but it is not bulky or deliberate, but flexible.

One day, Lin Huiyin bought a cloisonné vase at an old antique stall. The old stall owner said to her: "This is authentic cloisonné, you can't see it elsewhere, it has been bustling for hundreds of years, and it is the root of it at this point." ”
Soon Lin Huiyin set up a team to save cloisonné, and before she died, this work was not completed, and she still kept telling the students: "Cloisonné is a national treasure, do not be lost in New China." ”
This copper wire cornucopia on a blue background is a classic cloisonné work. The pale blue and green color under the light is like the golden blue sea at the dawn of the morning light, the golden waves churning with blooming passionflowers, and a fish on the bowl like jumping on the sea.
Cloisonné, just named "copper tire filigree enamel", integrates the bronze industry, literati painting, jade engraving, gold and silver filigree and other crafts of Xia Shang, and finally points on enamel, firing, hand polishing hundreds of times.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, there was a poem praising: "In the middle of the world, the stunt is high, and the five continents of cloisonné are overwhelmed." "The best of cloisonné is the best of technology.
In 2001, a peony-patterned red box sold for 12.87 million yuan, the highest price ever auctioned for carving lacquer.
Many people can't understand that this is just a small box that is well carved and actually auctioned for the price of a villa.
In fact, the absolute reason is that lacquer is rare.
The lacquer is taken from the lacquer tree, the knife cuts the bark, and the container is used to touch the ground drop by drop, a 16-year-old lacquer tree, but the annual lacquer production is only 250 grams.
And then brush on the wooden tire one by one, 1 mm thickness of the paint needs to brush 16-18 paint, a piece of ordinary lacquerware needs at least 6,7 mm thickness, if you brush a hundred dozen paint, it takes three or five months.
This hard-won lacquer, and the brushing and carving day and night, are destined to be precious to the red picker.
With the protection of lacquer, lacquerware is waterproof, anti-corrosion, moisture-resistant, wear-resistant and fall-resistant. A painted lacquer bird pattern ear cup of the Western Han Dynasty, after 2000, the pure red paint in the cup has not faded.
The perfection of carving paint lies in carving, but also in the color.
The natural lacquer is a milky white sap that turns a thick brownish red after oxidation in the air, but then turns black after a slight thick coating.
The gold lacquer inlay is to paint in a dark world, depicting the flowers and thousands of beings in the world.
This landscape pavilion painting box uses a whole piece of gold leaf to paste the shape of the mountain and the roof, and then depicts the outline of the mountain and the roof. The gold leaf is ground into gold powder, mixed into a liquid and dipped in a pen to depict flowers, and the black of the lacquer is used to set off a landscape pavilion.
Some use shells embedded in lacquerware, called "screw inlay"; or with agate, jade, jasper, coral, etc. as the material, also known as "hundred treasure inlay".
The screen inlaid with gold lacquer is often made of black lacquer, and the shells with pearl light color are inlaid with flowers and birds, mountain stones, terraces, and screws. The gold lacquer inlay is the deep night blooming flowers.
In "Yanxi Raiders", Wei Yongluo counterattacked all the way from an embroidery lady to a concubine, in fact, in the embroidery bureau of the Qing court, the embroidery women were all men. Because there is an embroidery art that "passes on men and does not pass on women", it is Beijing embroidery.
Compared with Su embroidery, Cantonese embroidery, Xiang embroidery, Shu embroidery, Beijing embroidery has no sense of existence. Probably in the Ming and Qing dynasties, Beijing embroidery was only for the emperor and concubines, and the people rarely saw each other.
▲ Beijing embroidery Fushou Xiangyun dragon pattern embroidery
However, Yu Jing, the inheritor of Beijing embroidery, believes that Beijing embroidery has actually absorbed the "length of a hundred families", integrated Su embroidery, Cantonese embroidery, etc., and developed into a royal handmade embroidery. And the integration of the country's major excellent embroidery techniques, to create a new embroidery method, flat gold seed embroidery.
The gold is twisted into thread, and after the needle is raised, the gold thread is circled on the tip of the needle, held down with the finger, and the falling needle tightens the embroidery thread to fix it to become a ring-shaped knot. After the embroidery, it is like a gold seed knotted on the embroidery cloth, like a little star in the dark night.
It can be imagined that in the 21st century, Beijing embroidery no longer needs to serve the royal family, it faces a more difficult dilemma than Su embroidery and Cantonese embroidery, if it is lost, the loss is not only Beijing embroidery, but "the show of a hundred families".

One day, Lin Huiyin bought a cloisonné vase at an old antique stall. The old stall owner said to her: "This is authentic cloisonné, you can't see it elsewhere, it has been bustling for hundreds of years, and it is the root of it at this point." ”
Soon Lin Huiyin set up a team to save cloisonné, and before she died, this work was not completed, and she still kept telling the students: "Cloisonné is a national treasure, do not be lost in New China." ”
This copper wire cornucopia on a blue background is a classic cloisonné work. The pale blue and green color under the light is like the golden blue sea at the dawn of the morning light, the golden waves churning with blooming passionflowers, and a fish on the bowl like jumping on the sea.
Cloisonné, just named "copper tire filigree enamel", integrates the bronze industry, literati painting, jade engraving, gold and silver filigree and other crafts of Xia Shang, and finally points on enamel, firing, hand polishing hundreds of times.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, there was a poem praising: "In the middle of the world, the stunt is high, and the five continents of cloisonné are overwhelmed." "The best of cloisonné is the best of technology.
In 2001, a peony-patterned red box sold for 12.87 million yuan, the highest price ever auctioned for carving lacquer.
Many people can't understand that this is just a small box that is well carved and actually auctioned for the price of a villa.
In fact, the absolute reason is that lacquer is rare.
The lacquer is taken from the lacquer tree, the knife cuts the bark, and the container is used to touch the ground drop by drop, a 16-year-old lacquer tree, but the annual lacquer production is only 250 grams.
And then brush on the wooden tire one by one, 1 mm thickness of the paint needs to brush 16-18 paint, a piece of ordinary lacquerware needs at least 6,7 mm thickness, if you brush a hundred dozen paint, it takes three or five months.
This hard-won lacquer, and the brushing and carving day and night, are destined to be precious to the red picker.
With the protection of lacquer, lacquerware is waterproof, anti-corrosion, moisture-resistant, wear-resistant and fall-resistant. A painted lacquer bird pattern ear cup of the Western Han Dynasty, after 2000, the pure red paint in the cup has not faded.
The perfection of carving paint lies in carving, but also in the color.
The natural lacquer is a milky white sap that turns a thick brownish red after oxidation in the air, but then turns black after a slight thick coating.
The gold lacquer inlay is to paint in a dark world, depicting the flowers and thousands of beings in the world.
This landscape pavilion painting box uses a whole piece of gold leaf to paste the shape of the mountain and the roof, and then depicts the outline of the mountain and the roof. The gold leaf is ground into gold powder, mixed into a liquid and dipped in a pen to depict flowers, and the black of the lacquer is used to set off a landscape pavilion.
Some use shells embedded in lacquerware, called "screw inlay"; or with agate, jade, jasper, coral, etc. as the material, also known as "hundred treasure inlay".
The screen inlaid with gold lacquer is often made of black lacquer, and the shells with pearl light color are inlaid with flowers and birds, mountain stones, terraces, and screws. The gold lacquer inlay is the deep night blooming flowers.
In "Yanxi Raiders", Wei Yongluo counterattacked all the way from an embroidery lady to a concubine, in fact, in the embroidery bureau of the Qing court, the embroidery women were all men. Because there is an embroidery art that "passes on men and does not pass on women", it is Beijing embroidery.
Compared with Su embroidery, Cantonese embroidery, Xiang embroidery, Shu embroidery, Beijing embroidery has no sense of existence. Probably in the Ming and Qing dynasties, Beijing embroidery was only for the emperor and concubines, and the people rarely saw each other.
▲ Beijing embroidery Fushou Xiangyun dragon pattern embroidery
However, Yu Jing, the inheritor of Beijing embroidery, believes that Beijing embroidery has actually absorbed the "length of a hundred families", integrated Su embroidery, Cantonese embroidery, etc., and developed into a royal handmade embroidery. And the integration of the country's major excellent embroidery techniques, to create a new embroidery method, flat gold seed embroidery.
The gold is twisted into thread, and after the needle is raised, the gold thread is circled on the tip of the needle, held down with the finger, and the falling needle tightens the embroidery thread to fix it to become a ring-shaped knot. After the embroidery, it is like a gold seed knotted on the embroidery cloth, like a little star in the dark night.
It can be imagined that in the 21st century, Beijing embroidery no longer needs to serve the royal family, it faces a more difficult dilemma than Su embroidery and Cantonese embroidery, if it is lost, the loss is not only Beijing embroidery, but "the show of a hundred families".
There is nothing that the emperor can't get, except for this "golden blanket", the emperor wants to take a detour when he sees it.
The pan gold carpet is one of the palace blankets, woven with gold thread. But the gold had to be pounded into thin slices, thin enough to unfold an acre of land, then cut into strips smaller than leeks, and finally wrapped in wool threads for weaving.

In 2003, the team of Kang Yusheng, the inheritor of the palace carpet, woven a pan gold carpet "Belt on the Dynasty", which is two meters wide and three meters high, and uses nearly 10,000 meters of gold thread. However, this craft is absolutely indispensable, "the front does not reveal the yarn, and the back does not reveal the gold".
Because when weaving, there are two warp threads in the front and back, the front is coiled with gold, and the back is coiled with yarn.
Even if the royal palace and the golden carpet are not used casually, they can only be laid on major ceremonies or celebrations, such as the emperor's wedding, and they must be collected as soon as they are used.

Jin Yong talked about a martial art called "iron palm floating on the water", in fact, "jade carving" can also be "floating on the water".
This Tang White Jade Honeysuckle Pattern Eight-Curved Long Cup is only 0.5mm at the thinnest point, while the thickness of a piece of paper is 0.2mm, less than the thickness of three sheets of paper, and the blow bomb can be broken.

Qianlong said that they "have nothing in their hands, and they know that they have form with their eyes fixed on them." "Under the light, it is as thin as a cicada wing, and it can flutter on the water, like a low-key petal floating in the water, fluctuating shyly."
The emperor specially set up a "thin tire Xifanzuo" for this purpose, specializing in jade carving. But after Qianlong, this craft gradually lost.
Because when carving, the mood of every jade smith is frightened, and the carving is like walking on thin ice, afraid of a hand shaking, suddenly, gone. Jade looks gentle and weak, but the inside is very hard, no different from the temperament of the literati.

Ivory carvings started out as just some daily necessities, ivory combs, carved small cups, tooth wats, and simple shapes. But in the Qing Dynasty, skillful craftsmen increasingly pursued the complexity of craftsmanship.

In the "Treatise on Gegu Essentials", it is written that there is a piece of ivory carving ghost gong, "taste an ivory round hammer, a straight through a trick, the number of cars in the car, can be rotated, so it is called a ghost worker".
The ghost worker is carved from a whole piece of ivory, and the ball is covered with balls, and each one can be rotated, each inner ball is not bad at a point, and each ball is carved with a fine pattern.

Also from the initial layer of balls, gradually there are 10 layers, 25 layers, 60 layers, the requirements for ivory carvers are extremely high, is a peak in ivory carving technology.
But it hurts too much. An "ivory mat" in the Yongzheng period required 60 skilled craftsmen to cut the ivory into silk and weave it for nearly two years to complete, and hundreds of ivory were used.
Monogatari:
Of all the arts and crafts in China, there are eight crafts that are particularly special, and they are the "Eight Gems of Yanjing": filigree inlay, cloisonné, carved lacquer, gold lacquer inlay, Beijing embroidery, palace embroidery, jade carving, and ivory carving.
Because they were crafts born for royal etiquette, most of them gradually lost when the "royal" disappeared.
Gorky said: "The demise of a craft represents the disappearance of a small museum." "But if Yanjing is eight absolute, it is really a great sound, but it is the entire mountain of Chinese craftsmanship that disappears."
When the Qianlong Emperor was 80 years old, he issued ten sacred decrees in a row, selected 80 from thousands of craftsmen across the country, and personally supervised them to make a treasure - the Jin Ou Yonggu Cup.
Every strand of this cup is gold, but each one is as thin as a strand of hair. Because each gold thread has been pulled dozens of times, and finally the gold is mistaken into various patterns and woven, the process used is called "filigree inlay".

Many people can't understand that this is just a small box that is well carved and actually auctioned for the price of a villa.
In fact, the absolute reason is that lacquer is rare.
The lacquer is taken from the lacquer tree, the knife cuts the bark, and the container is used to touch the ground drop by drop, a 16-year-old lacquer tree, but the annual lacquer production is only 250 grams.
And then brush on the wooden tire one by one, 1 mm thickness of the paint needs to brush 16-18 paint, a piece of ordinary lacquerware needs at least 6,7 mm thickness, if you brush a hundred dozen paint, it takes three or five months.
This hard-won lacquer, and the brushing and carving day and night, are destined to be precious to the red picker.
With the protection of lacquer, lacquerware is waterproof, anti-corrosion, moisture-resistant, wear-resistant and fall-resistant. A painted lacquer bird pattern ear cup of the Western Han Dynasty, after 2000, the pure red paint in the cup has not faded.
The perfection of carving paint lies in carving, but also in the color.
The natural lacquer is a milky white sap that turns a thick brownish red after oxidation in the air, but then turns black after a slight thick coating.
The gold lacquer inlay is to paint in a dark world, depicting the flowers and thousands of beings in the world.
This landscape pavilion painting box uses a whole piece of gold leaf to paste the shape of the mountain and the roof, and then depicts the outline of the mountain and the roof. The gold leaf is ground into gold powder, mixed into a liquid and dipped in a pen to depict flowers, and the black of the lacquer is used to set off a landscape pavilion.
Some use shells embedded in lacquerware, called "screw inlay"; or with agate, jade, jasper, coral, etc. as the material, also known as "hundred treasure inlay".
The screen inlaid with gold lacquer is often made of black lacquer, and the shells with pearl light color are inlaid with flowers and birds, mountain stones, terraces, and screws. The gold lacquer inlay is the deep night blooming flowers.
In "Yanxi Raiders", Wei Yongluo counterattacked all the way from an embroidery lady to a concubine, in fact, in the embroidery bureau of the Qing court, the embroidery women were all men. Because there is an embroidery art that "passes on men and does not pass on women", it is Beijing embroidery.
Compared with Su embroidery, Cantonese embroidery, Xiang embroidery, Shu embroidery, Beijing embroidery has no sense of existence. Probably in the Ming and Qing dynasties, Beijing embroidery was only for the emperor and concubines, and the people rarely saw each other.

However, Yu Jing, the inheritor of Beijing embroidery, believes that Beijing embroidery has actually absorbed the "length of a hundred families", integrated Su embroidery, Cantonese embroidery, etc., and developed into a royal handmade embroidery. And the integration of the country's major excellent embroidery techniques, to create a new embroidery method, flat gold seed embroidery.
The gold is twisted into thread, and after the needle is raised, the gold thread is circled on the tip of the needle, held down with the finger, and the falling needle tightens the embroidery thread to fix it to become a ring-shaped knot. After the embroidery, it is like a gold seed knotted on the embroidery cloth, like a little star in the dark night.
It can be imagined that in the 21st century, Beijing embroidery no longer needs to serve the royal family, it faces a more difficult dilemma than Su embroidery and Cantonese embroidery, if it is lost, the loss is not only Beijing embroidery, but "the show of a hundred families".
There is nothing that the emperor can't get, except for this "golden blanket", the emperor wants to take a detour when he sees it.
The pan gold carpet is one of the palace blankets, woven with gold thread. But the gold had to be pounded into thin slices, thin enough to unfold an acre of land, then cut into strips smaller than leeks, and finally wrapped in wool threads for weaving.

In 2003, the team of Kang Yusheng, the inheritor of the palace carpet, woven a pan gold carpet "Belt on the Dynasty", which is two meters wide and three meters high, and uses nearly 10,000 meters of gold thread. However, this craft is absolutely indispensable, "the front does not reveal the yarn, and the back does not reveal the gold".
Because when weaving, there are two warp threads in the front and back, the front is coiled with gold, and the back is coiled with yarn.
Even if the royal palace and the golden carpet are not used casually, they can only be laid on major ceremonies or celebrations, such as the emperor's wedding, and they must be collected as soon as they are used.

Jin Yong talked about a martial art called "iron palm floating on the water", in fact, "jade carving" can also be "floating on the water".
This Tang White Jade Honeysuckle Pattern Eight-Curved Long Cup is only 0.5mm at the thinnest point, while the thickness of a piece of paper is 0.2mm, less than the thickness of three sheets of paper, and the blow bomb can be broken.

Qianlong said that they "have nothing in their hands, and they know that they have form with their eyes fixed on them." "Under the light, it is as thin as a cicada wing, and it can flutter on the water, like a low-key petal floating in the water, fluctuating shyly."
The emperor specially set up a "thin tire Xifanzuo" for this purpose, specializing in jade carving. But after Qianlong, this craft gradually lost.
Because when carving, the mood of every jade smith is frightened, and the carving is like walking on thin ice, afraid of a hand shaking, suddenly, gone. Jade looks gentle and weak, but the inside is very hard, no different from the temperament of the literati.

Ivory carvings started out as just some daily necessities, ivory combs, carved small cups, tooth wats, and simple shapes. But in the Qing Dynasty, skillful craftsmen increasingly pursued the complexity of craftsmanship.

In the "Treatise on Gegu Essentials", it is written that there is a piece of ivory carving ghost gong, "taste an ivory round hammer, a straight through a trick, the number of cars in the car, can be rotated, so it is called a ghost worker".
The ghost worker is carved from a whole piece of ivory, and the ball is covered with balls, and each one can be rotated, each inner ball is not bad at a point, and each ball is carved with a fine pattern.

Also from the initial layer of balls, gradually there are 10 layers, 25 layers, 60 layers, the requirements for ivory carvers are extremely high, is a peak in ivory carving technology.
But it hurts too much. An "ivory mat" in the Yongzheng period required 60 skilled craftsmen to cut the ivory into silk and weave it for nearly two years to complete, and hundreds of ivory were used.
▲ Qing Dynasty 19th Century Guangdong Carved Ivory Cloud Dragon Pattern Sleeve Ball - Treasure of Taipei National Palace
When Yongzheng learned of this, he immediately ordered a ban and the use of ivory products was no longer used. Nowadays, the ivory carving process is no longer the glory of yesterday, but it is not only the process that needs to be considered, but also how to explore new materials.
It is said that Yanjing Eight is "the last peak of Chinese arts and crafts". But in fact, it is not that its prosperity time is late, but that Yanjing Eight Absolute has absorbed the essence of folk crafts from all over the world and gathered them in one.
Monogatari:
Of all the arts and crafts in China, there are eight crafts that are particularly special, and they are the "Eight Gems of Yanjing": filigree inlay, cloisonné, carved lacquer, gold lacquer inlay, Beijing embroidery, palace embroidery, jade carving, and ivory carving.
Because they were crafts born for royal etiquette, most of them gradually lost when the "royal" disappeared.
Gorky said: "The demise of a craft represents the disappearance of a small museum." "But if Yanjing is eight absolute, it is really a great sound, but it is the entire mountain of Chinese craftsmanship that disappears."
When the Qianlong Emperor was 80 years old, he issued ten sacred decrees in a row, selected 80 from thousands of craftsmen across the country, and personally supervised them to make a treasure - the Jin Ou Yonggu Cup.
Every strand of this cup is gold, but each one is as thin as a strand of hair. Because each gold thread has been pulled dozens of times, and finally the gold is mistaken into various patterns and woven, the process used is called "filigree inlay".

Filigree inlay is made of silk, which is precious to gold, but it is thin and light, breaking through people's imagination of the bulkiness of gold. Then set with small pieces of jade, red sapphire, filigree wisps of exquisite exquisite, clever hands inlaid with Qiankun, is the first of the eight best in Yanjing.
This Ming Dynasty golden silk dragon wing good crown discovered in 1956 has a "lantern empty" pattern woven from 518 0.2 mm gold wires.
The fine and dense gold silk thread, as thin as light yarn, and as light as a cicada wing, and there is no joint or broken silk between the filaments. The hollowed-out dragon body, the engraved dragon head, and a filled flame bead in the middle, as if as long as there is a thunderbolt, there is a great potential to soar.
The brilliance of filigree inlay is that its degree of complexity and luxury exceeds everyone's imagination, but it is not bulky or deliberate, but flexible.

One day, Lin Huiyin bought a cloisonné vase at an old antique stall. The old stall owner said to her: "This is authentic cloisonné, you can't see it elsewhere, it has been bustling for hundreds of years, and it is the root of it at this point." ”
Soon Lin Huiyin set up a team to save cloisonné, and before she died, this work was not completed, and she still kept telling the students: "Cloisonné is a national treasure, do not be lost in New China." ”
This copper wire cornucopia on a blue background is a classic cloisonné work. The pale blue and green color under the light is like the golden blue sea at the dawn of the morning light, the golden waves churning with blooming passionflowers, and a fish on the bowl like jumping on the sea.
Cloisonné, just named "copper tire filigree enamel", integrates the bronze industry, literati painting, jade engraving, gold and silver filigree and other crafts of Xia Shang, and finally points on enamel, firing, hand polishing hundreds of times.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, there was a poem praising: "In the middle of the world, the stunt is high, and the five continents of cloisonné are overwhelmed." "The best of cloisonné is the best of technology.
