Three minutes to talk about culture
As a unique color in ancient China, Dai has become a color rich in cultural connotation and historical origin with its deep and elegant hue. In the long history of China, Daise has been widely used in painting, calligraphy, clothing and other fields, and has become an important part of traditional Chinese aesthetics.
First, the production process of Shi Dai.
Collect daishi. The first step in making Daishi is to collect Daishi. This ore is mainly found in the mountainous areas of China, Japan, and South Korea, and has a dark blue or black appearance. In ancient times, people would climb mountain peaks to find veins containing daishi, and then excavate them. After the excavated stone has been cleaned and selected, it can be grinded.
Grind Daishi. The process of grinding the selected daishi into a powder requires the use of tools such as a stone mill or hammer. Water needs to be added continuously during the grinding process in order to stir the ore powder into a paste. This step requires patience and care to ensure that all the ore powder is ground fine enough.
Filter the dark pigment.
The ground ore powder is filtered to remove coarse particles and impurities. Then add an appropriate amount of water and glue, stir well, and then make it into a color pigment. This pigment has good adhesion and persistence, and can maintain bright colors for a long time.
2. The history of Shi Dai.
Ancient period. In ancient times, it was widely used in women's makeup and clothing. During the Tang Dynasty, women liked to use daisy thrushes to draw slender and slender eyebrows, showing the unique charm of Tang Dynasty women. In addition, during the Song and Ming dynasties, Dai color was also used to make books and calligraphy and paintings, and became an elegant color. These calligraphy and painting works have extremely high artistic and historical value, and have become an important heritage of ancient Chinese culture.
Modern period. With the changes of the times and the development of modern civilization, the application of daise has gradually decreased. However, in some areas of modern times, we can still see the figure of Daise. For example, in some traditional clothing and handicrafts, designers still use daisy colors to reflect the charm of traditional culture. At the same time, in the cosmetics industry, some brands will also launch makeup products containing dark colors to meet consumers' pursuit of classical beauty. In addition, in the field of painting and calligraphy, there are also some artists who still insist on using daisy to create their creations in order to show the unique charm of traditional Chinese culture.
As a traditional color in ancient China, Daise has witnessed the development and changes of Chinese history. Its production process and history contain rich cultural connotations and artistic values, and have become an important part of ancient Chinese culture. Today, we should cherish these traditional cultural heritages and let them continue to flourish in our lives.
