Ink is a traditional Chinese stationery utensils and an irreplaceable materialized carrier for the development of Chinese culture. With the rapid development of the times, all kinds of stationery innovations have emerged, and now children's study has gradually seen brushes and inkstones, how to expand their cognition, so that children can continue to inherit this traditional culture?
On the afternoon of February 3rd, the national reading brand "Young Study" of Yangpu District Library joined hands with the national intangible cultural heritage production protection demonstration base - Pen and Ink Palace, to jointly carry out a theme activity of "Reading and Inheritance: Ink Fragrance Moistens Children's Hearts and Paints Dreams with Brushstrokes", and invited Liu Jianhua, a teacher from Pen and Ink Palace, to be the keynote speaker, leading the children to get close to the intangible cultural heritage ink-making skills and feel the beauty of traditional crafts.
The ink of the world pushes Shezhou, and the ink of Shezhou pushes Cao's. "In the sixth year of Kangxi, Cao Sugong founded Mozhuang. In the third year of Tongzhi, Cao Sugong moved to Shanghai, and continued to integrate and innovate with Shanghai-style calligraphy and painting, forming a unique Shanghai-style emblem ink. In 2011, "Cao Sugong's ink ingot making skills" was included in the national intangible cultural heritage protection list, and the charm of Shanghai-style ink has endured.
The keynote speaker, Liu Jianhua, is the inheritor of Cao Sugong's intangible cultural heritage ink-making technique and gold painting art, and has an in-depth research and understanding of the art of ink ingot gold painting. In order to let the children really feel the beauty of Cao Sugong's Shanghai style of ink and ink, she told the children about the historical origin, production process and unique skills of Cao Sugong ink ingots, and guided the children to appreciate the exquisite ink surface with vivid and interesting language, so that everyone had a deeper understanding of the charm and beauty of traditional art.
Gold painting is the last important process of ink making, and workers will use brushes to sketch words and pictures on black ink ingots such as gold and silver. This process requires a high degree of concentration, patience and experience, and we take our time to ...... experienceIn the activity, under the careful and patient guidance of the teacher, the children learned the gold painting skills, and tried to paint gold with ink ingots, and harvested the gold painting works made by themselves. These works have become a testimony for children to feel and experience traditional culture with their hearts.
Ink making turned out to be so much fun! Some children excitedly said that they had practiced calligraphy before, but they were very unfamiliar with ink ingots. This experience can be said to have opened the door to his "new world". "I have only seen the ancients grinding inkstones and writing in TV series, and my own family directly buys ink and uses it. This time, I personally participated in the ink making, and I realized that a piece of ink has gathered the wisdom of many ancients, which is really exquisite. ”
This activity allowed the children to feel the charm of the excellent traditional Chinese culture. Yangpu District Library aims to let children understand the value of intangible cultural heritage, arouse their love and awareness of intangible cultural heritage, and let valuable cultural heritage be inherited and developed through this inter-library cooperation with Bimo Gongfang.
