w88 casino News Network (Correspondent Wang Jiayi)In order to deeply study and implement the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, and personally feel the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s reply to the students of China Agricultural University Science and Technology College, according to the arrangement of the series of activities of w88 casino’s Labor Education Practice Month,On the afternoon of May 11, the Research and Engineering Department organized key graduate students to go to the Beijing Cloisonné Art Museum to carry out a labor experience activity with the theme of “Experiencing Intangible Cultural Heritage Craftsmanship and Understanding the Spirit of Craftsmanship”.

Intangible cultural heritage crafts are an important part of the excellent traditional culture of the Chinese nation and an important content and carrier of labor education. The cloisonné craft among them attracts people's attention both aesthetically and culturally. As a national demonstration base for the protection of intangible cultural heritage, the Cloisonné Art Museum preserves many enamel works with a long history. The old Jingfa artists working in it also use their works to interpret the inheritance of time and space and the eternity of ingenuity.

Under the guidance of the instructor, the students first understood the reason why cloisonne got its name and the basic production process. Cloisonné was born in the imperial palace and is a symbol of power and status. Cloisonne can be found in the furnishings of the Imperial Palace such as the Forbidden City, the Piyong Palace of the Imperial Academy, and the Paiyun Hall of the Summer Palace.

Arrived at the production workshop, where the students observed closely the cloisonné objects in different production processes. Several enamel artists are concentrating on nurturing the works in their hands, looking at their carefully carved appearance,The image of "craftsmen of a great country" springs to mind. Each enamelware requires multiple processes and takes days or even months to complete. Each enamelware contains the hard work and exquisite skills of the craftsmen.

In the three-story exhibition hall of the Cloisonné Art Museum, various chronological cloisonné works, masterpieces made by masters, and production tools from different eras are displayed. The introduction by the instructor gave the students a new understanding of each exhibit. From design concepts to style features to historical value, each brightly glazed artwork seemed to have a new life because of its understanding.

After visiting the cloisonné treasures of various shapes, the students also experienced the key part of enamel making"Point blue". Match the colors of different patterns as required, and use a blue gun and a straw to fill the glazes of various colors into the silk. It not only reflects the creativity of the maker, but also tests his patience. Everyone is making their own artwork. The meticulous guidance of the craft teachers in the museum gave students a deeper understanding of this traditional skill.

After an hour of careful polishing, every student was familiar with the steps of dotting blue and completed a unique work. The various and unique works were put together to outline a more wonderful scene, which was appreciated and praised by the craft teacher.

“One piece of cloisonné, ten pieces of official kiln wares”. The cloisonné that has gone through thousands of blows, burned by fire, and discussed like a sword has accumulated over time. It is as moist as jade, as lustrous as jewelry, as delicate as porcelain, as brilliant as gold and silver, and has a long history and shines. Through this practical activity, key graduate students got close to the cloisonné intangible cultural heritage skills, deeply understood the excellent traditional Chinese culture, experienced the ultimate creation of craftsmen, further understood the spirit of labor, and enhanced national pride, aiming to contribute to the creative transformation and innovative development of Chinese culture.

Cloisonne is a treasure of traditional Chinese crafts and a shining pearl of Chinese culture. At the Cloisonné Art Museum, I admired various exquisite cloisonne works, felt the history, techniques and cultural connotation of cloisonne, and learned that the production process is complicated and complicated. Each process requires exquisite skills and meticulous patience. At the same time, I also experienced the traditional production process——Point blue. This activity allowed me to see the profoundness and long history of Chinese culture, and also established in me the concept of advocating labor, loving labor, working hard, and working honestly.

Someone said in ancient times,"One piece of cloisonné, ten boxes of official kiln wares". On May 11, I was honored to participate in the visit to the Cloisonne Museum organized by the w88 casino research association. Through the staff’s vivid explanations and my own personal experience in making blue, I not only felt the charm and exquisiteness of traditional Chinese aesthetics, but also learned about the inheritance and development of cloisonne production technology. I was also shocked by the craftsmanship of cloisonne masters such as Qian Meihua. This rare cultural experience allowed me to experience the spirit of craftsmanship, feel the heart of craftsmanship, and understand the essence of craft culture!

The cloisonné production technique combines bronze craftsmanship and enamel craftsmanship, inherits traditional painting and metal engraving craftsmanship, and is the crystallization of technical knowledge such as art, sculpture, inlay, metallurgy, and glass smelting. At the end of the activity, I tried a little blue with the help of the teachers. I felt the complexity of the production process. To depict the gradient of color on a petal, it is necessary to dye it in several layers from deep to shallow to show the unique beauty of the flower. During this visit, I felt the traditional charm of intangible cultural heritage, and I look forward to more and more intangible cultural heritage taking on new glory in the new era!

During the visit to the Cloisonné Art Museum, in addition to the various styles of enamel products with exquisite workmanship that dazzled my eyes, the most impressive thing was seeing the craftsmen making treasures one after another. I seemed to be able to imagine how the craftsmen of great countries over the past century have used details to achieve greatness and passed down classics with love. Through this activity, I have a deeper understanding of the charm of China's excellent traditional culture, and a firmer understanding of our confidence and courage, the depth of culture, and the glory of labor. We will practice it to the end with persistence and love.

During this visit, I personally experienced making cloisonné artworks and experienced the charm of the national treasure in practice. The charm of cloisonné, that is, copper-embedded filigree enamel, lies in the fact that the technique was passed down from the Silk Road, but was carefully crafted in the hands of the Chinese working people, turning it into exquisite pieces of art with Chinese characteristics and becoming a representative of Chinese culture to the world. This reflects the strong inclusiveness and creativity of Chinese culture and the great wisdom of the Chinese working people. The story of cloisonné reminds me of the spirit of model workers, the spirit of labor, and the spirit of craftsman. We have the responsibility and obligation to learn from them and follow their examples. We should be dedicated to our work, work hard, strive hard, strive for excellence, and create new and greater achievements in the new era.
