The years weave life, and time precipitates stories. Love silently, the pattern is colorful, and the love is used to connect the dull days, and someone has painted the splendid annual rings with an amazing brush. On the stage of the Spring Festival Gala of the Year of the Dragon, the traditional Chinese pattern creation show "New Year" made a stunning debut. The program selects the representative patterns of auspicious blessings from different dynasties of the Han, Tang, Song and Ming dynasties and integrates them with gorgeous stage art techniques to weave a picture of pattern changes that spans thousands of years.
These beautiful and elegant New Year's brocade patterns are from the hands of a 93-year-old man, who is known as the "daughter of Dunhuang" Arts and Crafts Design research expert - Chang Shana. She said, "I've been dealing with patterns all my life, but it's the first time I've designed patterns for the Spring Festival Gala!" ”
Chang Shana: Creative ideas come from the context and are self-confidence.
Mr. Chang Shana has many identities, Dunhuang art and arts and crafts design research experts, the Great Hall of the People decoration designer, the first national gift designer of New China, but as we heard in the interview just now, she always introduces herself to others like this: "I am from Dunhuang. ”
Dunhuang is the love of her life, because of her talent in the copying of Dunhuang murals, at the age of 20, Chang Shana was selected to participate in the design of the first national gift of New China. Combined with the "pigeon" in the Dunhuang elements, a series of products such as cloisonné dove of peace ** and dove of peace silk scarf national gift were designed.
The Great Hall of the People, the Palace of National Culture, the Capital Theater, the Capital Airport, ......A number of national images and urban landmark architectural decorations of different ages with Dunhuang elements are poured into Chang Shana's design efforts. She said: "national, scientific, popular" creative ideas are context, but also self-confidence, and a kind of blood thing.
Splendid pattern poured.
Two generations of mothers and sons design painstaking efforts.
Chang Shana brought her artistic context and aesthetic confidence to the stage of the Spring Festival Gala. The director team of the Spring Festival Gala invited her to serve as an art consultant, and invited Cui Donghui, deputy dean of the School of Architecture of the **Academy of Fine Arts, to serve as the pattern designer. Cui Donghui introduced that in the creative process, he would find Mr. Chang to do hand-painted processing again and again, and the teacher Chang in his mouth was his mother Chang Shana.
*Cui Donghui, Deputy Dean of the School of Architecture, Academy of Fine Arts: For example, this plant, it is a small three-petaled flower, and there are some differences in the angle and trend of its tendencies. After this style of hand-painting is combed, we need to be sketched again by the big gentlemen of the pattern, so we found Mr. Chang to do these things again and again to hand-paint.
Reporter: Why do you need Mr. Chang to continue to do this kind of hand-painted processing?
*Cui Donghui, Deputy Dean of the School of Architecture, Academy of Fine Arts: Let me show you this picture again, this picture is also a three-legged bird, this three-legged bird is actually in the style and form after we have finished sketching, its lines and appearance in fact, we think that we are basically satisfied, but according to her more than 70 years of experience in pattern design, she will think that there are some places to collect and put here, including the interspersed relationship between the bird's body and claws, and she feels that it is not full enough. Our blue line was drawn by our young people, and Mr. Chang revised it again with a pencil, making it as full, complete and comfortable as possible in this revision process, of course, all the tones must be respected under the condition of the temperament of that dynasty, and then manually combed and adjusted again.
The basis for Chang Shana's revision stems from her long accumulation of pattern design and Dunhuang research. "Decorative Patterns of Dunhuang in China" is a work by Chang Shana, which has become an important basis in the creation of "New Year's Brocade".
Chang Shana, an expert in Dunhuang art and arts and crafts design research: traditional patterns make people feel the thickness of history, feel the warmth of sensibility, and can reflect the cultural character of the nation through the form of modern design.
Choose one thing in a lifetime, and a lifetime will be beautiful.
Mr. Chang Shana said, "I am lucky to have a father who is known as the patron saint of Dunhuang. Her father, Chang Shuhong, was the first director of the Dunhuang Institute of Cultural Relics after the founding of New China. Father's advice is "No matter where you go, remember that you are from Dunhuang!" ”
Chang Shana followed the path her father once walked, for decades, guarding the beauty of Dunhuang with a brush, and also spreading its inheritance and bringing it to the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, so that more people can feel its splendor. Mr. Chang Shana said that you can always believe in Chinese aesthetics! Traditional Chinese patterns are "like today's young people's greetings and online emojis", which originated from the people, and from ancient times to the present, people have given their own stories and meanings to the patterns.
Choose one thing in a lifetime, and a lifetime will be beautiful. "Time is too short, love is too long. Mr. Chang Shana has devoted his life to the protection and inheritance of Dunhuang art, and the treasures of Dunhuang art have been handed down to the world, and its stunning beauty has also infiltrated every inch of his life. Netizens described her wrinkles as elegant and poetic, and calm and calm, restrained and brilliance, which are the most beautiful expressions in the splendid time painted by the "Dunhuang daughter" with the pen of love.
