The copper engraving process inheritor moved “non-legacy” into “Dream Factory”

In recent years, under the impetus of the “Cultural Strong City” strategy of the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government, the cultural industry in Yingtan City has become more and more popular, and not only has the industry become bigger and bigger, but also a number of characteristic enterprises that have influence in the whole province and the whole country have emerged. In order to reflect the development achievements of the cultural industry in our city from the side, this newspaper will launch a series of “Reports on Well-known Enterprises in the Cultural Industry” from now on. By telling the vivid stories of the innovation and development of some enterprises, we will showcase the cultural industry “People's Entrepreneurship and Innovation” in Yingtan City. Raw animation volume.

When it comes to Guixi's characteristic industry, the first thing that comes to mind is the copper industry. Then, an ordinary copper plate is in the hands of the artist. After designing, annealing, forging, engraving, quenching, etc., it can be beautiful. What about art?

On March 12th, in the Jiangxi Zhongding Technology Co., Ltd. of Guixi Industrial Park, the bronze master Huang Junjun showed us a piece of exquisite hand-made bronze carving crafts made by the “Thousands of Thousands of Hammers”, which made the world marvel. What is even more amazing is his dream: "I hope that one day, the copper engraving process as a provincial intangible cultural heritage can be passed down and carried forward for more and more people, and the copper engraving industry has also become a driving force for economic development. Characteristic industry."

Because I like it, I choose to insist

Huang Junjun, 47, is a senior craft artist in Jiangxi Province. Since he liked art from a young age, he began to come into contact with traditional craftsmanship in 1987. A folk old artist taught him some simple copper carving techniques. .

At that time, Huang Junjun was only 20 years old. He just graduated from high school. The idea is very simple. Maybe there is not much ideal and ambition. Like many young people, studying copper engraving is just for learning the craft, and will have a good meal for himself and his family. eat. After studying the technology for a few years, Huang Junjun discovered a reality that must be faced: the art of bronze sculpture is not good in the domestic market. The goods made are mainly used for religious architecture. The products are sold to Japan, and when he just came out The bronze sculpture products produced are almost unattended, let alone rely on it to support the family. The copper engraving technique even makes Huang Junjun unable to see the future. Huang Junjun told reporters: "At the time, I was also very confused. At the time of the low tide, many people changed careers and switched jobs, but I chose bronze sculpture and insisted on it because I like this line."

Unique style is selected in the provincial "non-legacy"

Engaged in traditional manual metal carving for 27 years, Huang Junjun has made great breakthroughs in metal craft technology compared to traditional crafts, forming his own unique artistic style. Huang Junjun said: "The metal enamel carving process originated from the Shang and Zhou dynasties. The history of more than 3,000 years is one of the oldest traditional metal techniques. After long-term excavation and innovation on the basis of inheriting and carrying forward the traditional metal enamel carving skills. I gradually formed my own unique characteristics of the metal carving process of "bone method modeling, fine carving, shape and spirit, and eclecticism." In 2013, the bronze engraving was included in the Jiangxi Intangible Cultural Heritage Project."

Huang Junjun’s works have participated in various national and provincial

The exhibition of arts and crafts won more than 30 awards including “Hundred Flowers Award” and “Golden Phoenix”. In 2010, he participated in the exhibition of metal enamel sculptures at the Jiangxi Pavilion of the Shanghai World Expo. His works include Guanyin and so on. In 2011, his masterpiece "Dragon's Lohan" was collected by the Chinese Arts and Crafts Museum. In the exhibition room of Zhongding Company, Huang Junjun hangs the copy of "Dragon's Dragon" in the middle position, which is conspicuous. Huang Junjun said: China is a descendant of the dragon, "Dragon Element" is very popular in China, and Luohan is also a unique cultural feature of China. In his many years of creation, he has created countless bronze sculptures with the theme of "Dragon Element", and he has a well-founded creation. In the creation of "Dragons of the Dragon", he also combined the characteristics of foreign cultures to make "Dragon" The whole bronze sculpture works of Luohan is more delicate and the craftsmanship is more exquisite. In 2012, he created the traditional theme of "Night Lotus Fragrance", which was once again collected by the Chinese Arts and Crafts Museum. In 2014, the Provincial People's Office of the People's Republic of China issued the “Jiangxi Province Huang Junjun Metal Carving Skill Master Studio”.

Create a brand to expand the featured industry

Like other intangible cultural heritage projects, the current status of the copper engraving industry has made Huang Junjun somewhat worried. Huang Junjun said: "In this industry, the personnel are not developing, but are shrinking. Besides, this technology has also been impacted by modern handicrafts in the market, and the status quo is not optimistic."

However, in recent years, the country’s constant attention to the cultural industry has allowed Huang Junjun to see hope again. In 1994, when Huang Junjun set up a factory in Cixi, there were only three people in the factory, that is, he and his wife and younger brother. More than 10 years later, the number of employees in the small workshop increased to 18, including his newly graduated son. His main job is to design engraving patterns, technical guidance and checks. He dreams of marketing and commercializing the traditional craftsmanship of copper engraving, so that more people can recognize and recognize this traditional skill.

2012 is a turning point. This year, he met a partner in Beijing and decided to build a bronze sculpture company. In September, Zhongding Company broke ground in the Guixi Industrial Park and built a new company covering an area of ​​15 acres, with a total investment of 24 million yuan. According to Huang Junjun's thoughts, he said: The current copper carving process is the enamel carving. It is only part of the metal craft. In the park, it is necessary to integrate various technologies in the metal technology field and strive to become a brand. This is my goal and my dream.

How to better realize the development of copper engraving process in inheritance and inheritance in development? Huang Junjun has been thinking hard.

“Traditional copper engraving is difficult to achieve standardization and batchization of works, and is limited by the level of technicians, resulting in outdated and single products, which cannot keep up with the pace of development of the times. It is only possible to hand-engraving in small workshops, once developed into one Enterprises, the shortcomings of the original crafts are immediately apparent." Huang Junjun said that in order to protect, inherit and develop traditional skills, it is necessary to work hard on innovation, in order to find a way out, in order to go further.

In 2014, through continuous exploration and transformation, Huang Junjun finally explored the unique copper engraving production process of “pre-production embryos using modern forging technology and late engraving process to retain traditional labor”. This technology will be used in modern forging and stamping. The combination of traditional engraving techniques and the production of the works takes into account the needs of modern life, while at the same time not losing the beauty of hand-made copper, the key is to improve the efficiency, open a window for the mass production of copper engraving products, so that copper Engraving this ancient art into the homes of ordinary people.

“The success rate of forging rough blanks with equipment has reached more than 95%, and mass production can be achieved this year.” Next, Huang Junjun intends to adopt a two-pronged approach: on the one hand, to maintain the original traditional hand-engraving process, specializing in the creation of artistic works; On the other hand, the combination of traditional engraving and modern mechanical forging is used to extend the work to the product, vigorously develop the daily necessities of copper engraving; strengthen the integration of traditional engraving and other metal crafts.

Carry forward the tradition and inherit the "non-legacy" dream

Today, in the production workshop of Zhongding Company, more than 50 young people are concentrating on the processing and production of bronze sculpture products. When the reporter walked into the production workshop, the sound of the pleasant copper metal could not be heard. This is the sound of the small hammer tapping the copper plate.

sound. Huang Junjun said while walking: "A non-legacy" project can have more than 50 people participating in the creation at the same time. This scale is rare in China.

What makes Huang Junjun happy is that with the economic development, the copper engraving process has become more and more recognized and loved by the world, and the products are also welcomed by more and more people in the market. “A few years ago, a group of Jingdezhen guests visited the company and asked for a contract to buy a bronze teapot on the spot.” In early March, the company organized an exhibition in Beijing, and the technicians of Zhongding Company made on-site production, many semi-finished products. They were all bought by the guests.

Due to the complexity of the process, high technical content, single variety and low economic efficiency, the traditional "non-legacy" project has been suffering from the inability to find the inheritor. "I hope that we can cultivate the inheritance of 'non-legacy' in a company-based operation." Huang Junjun said: "Now the young people have a higher level of education, which lays the foundation for learning the inheritance process." He said that A young man who has just entered the company, he will bring them into the threshold of copper engraving and engraving through training and on-site operation, so that they can feel that the copper engraving process is not difficult and eliminate their fear; then In the production position of the company, through the production line of “pipeline”, the new employees are really engaged in the production of copper engraving, and constantly improve the level in actual work. At the same time, the products produced by the company continue to go to the market, so that employees can realize the increase in income while mastering the skills.

To promote the traditional copper culture and realize the dream of inheriting the "non-legacy", Huang Junjun said: "Production is creation, creation is production, and by taking the market-oriented model, I am confident in inheriting the copper engraving process."
