Chapter 109 Original intention and philosophy

 Didn’t it mean that it was lost for 50 years and then reappeared after being excavated by Station Master Li? Now there is a master Wu Huandeng who taught boneless lantern skills in the 1980s. What is his relationship with Station Master Li? Also,

When the car passed by Botan, they also discovered the sales department of a company that produced boneless lanterns. Su Yuehong was a little confused as to what was going on.

Stationmaster Li is not fighting alone. There are many allies who do not know each other and are working together for a common goal, to preserve the Boneless Lanterns and preserve our history and roots.

Seeing that Su Yuehong was so interested in boneless lanterns and asked in a professional manner, Wang Lanyi's eyes were a little moist. Only when young people are interested can their skills be passed down, so, like most old people, she started talking.

Box, said: "All the patterns on the boneless lanterns are embroidered with a No. 12 embroidery needle. The diameter of the needle is about 0.3 mm. There are 100 needle holes per square centimeter in the paper. A lantern varies in size.

The needle holes range from hundreds of thousands to millions. When a faint light passes through the pinhole, the light and shadow of the lamp flicker. Therefore, the acupuncture effect directly affects the perspective effect of the lamp, and the depth must be mastered.

and stitch length, otherwise the clear effect will not be achieved."

Su Yuehong took a piece of paper from the old man Wang Lanyi's hand with great interest and tried to prick it with a rusty flower needle. Within ten minutes, she felt her eyes sore and put down the needle. The old man Wang Lanyi said in a slightly sad and meaningful way.

He said: "Making lanterns requires sitting for hours at a time. Most of the time it is very boring mechanical work. The first condition for learning to make lanterns is patience. You young people are too busy to do this kind of work."
As she was talking, a middle-aged woman came in, sat next to her, and started making lanterns with her.

"This is my daughter-in-law." After saying that, Wang Lanyi focused on the lanterns and said nothing. It was a quiet scene: on the left side of the door, there were more than ten "revolving lanterns" with different postures hanging.

There is a simple desk next to the door on the right. Wang Lanyi and her daughter-in-law are sitting side by side at the table, holding their homemade "needle pens" and piercing patterns on the cardboard one by one. They are not chatting and are quiet.

In the air, you can only hear the "pop" sound when the needle pierces the jammed paper.

Seeing how devoted her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were, Su Yuehong pressed the shutter and left quietly. As soon as she walked out of the gate, a message from Jin Huabin was uploaded on QQ: "Are you still in Chongtan? We picked up a boneless lantern in our forum.

The advertising business belongs to the manager of the lantern manufacturing company Chen Haihu. I am optimistic about their future. He happens to be there today. You can go and check in."

Forum advertisements are paid based on click-through rate. According to the current number of registered people in the forum, the cost of one advertisement per month is only a few hundred yuan. Because the amount is too small, all business is conducted through the Internet and face-to-face interviews. Ever since the forum was registered,

It has been nearly two months, and it has never happened. He made an appointment specifically, and maybe there is another business opportunity. After receiving the notice, she contacted through QQ: "I saw their company's sales office on the street, and I will go there now."

Manager Chen Haihu was tall and lean but capable, with a dark complexion and big hands. He was wearing a pair of old and new clothes and looked like a knight-errant. Seeing Su Yuehong come in, he raised his head slightly, pointed to the chair opposite and said, "Sit down.

First, let me introduce my experience and company, and then you can show me how to package and promote it online." After that, without waiting for Su Yuehong's reply, she talked about her relationship with boneless lanterns.

"I used to make handicrafts. Around 1990, I made lanterns. In the process, I met Station Manager Li and heard about boneless lanterns from him. I thought this was a treasure of traditional culture and I had to learn about it.

It has been carried forward, and since then, the idea of ​​industrializing the production of boneless lanterns has come up. I discussed it with Station Manager Li, who is a stubborn old man and disagrees, saying that if it is made by machine, the historical flavor will be lost.



Su Yuehong remembered what Stationmaster Li had said to him the day before yesterday that since the lamp was lit, he had become famous. Many investors wanted to get him to invest in business. But he felt that once he had the money, he would probably have to do research.

It disappeared. It turned out that the investor he was referring to was Manager Li Haihu. I couldn’t help but smile. I remembered a story about the abbot. In a certain temple, there was an abbot who was proficient in Buddhism and practiced diligently every day, but the temple was deserted. Later,

When he was in retreat, the temple was presided over by another monk. He was very good at socializing and had good relations with the government, rich people, and all religions. Soon, the temple became more popular, but the monk's practice of Buddhism was not good.

Practicing is no longer as positive as before. For the development of temples, going to both extremes is not a good way, the only way is to take the middle approach.

When she told him this story, Manager Li Haihu said with a smile: "If you don't forget your original intention, you will always succeed." I admire Webmaster Li's insistence on tradition, but he misunderstood me. I am not a money-minded person.

From 1999 to 2002, I started a four-year census of lanterns in the county. I drove a Yamaha motorcycle and went to the mountains and countryside alone. I visited more than 700 administrative villages in Xianju County.

, photographed the wood carvings and stone carving lanterns in old folk houses one by one, bought home some ancient lanterns collected by the elderly, and sorted them out."

After saying that, he turned on the computer, pulled out a photo, pointed at them and explained the origin of each photo. This photo came from a certain house in a certain village, and that one came from a certain temple. At the same time, he said: "I never thought about it.

You can make a fortune through boneless lanterns. If you want to popularize this folk art and make it popular, you have to commercialize it and let more people know about it. In addition to commercialization, the best way is to start from a young age.

, Therefore, I plan to compile teaching materials and let them be included in handicraft courses in primary and secondary schools. The forum is a new publicity tool. I hope that through your forum, the whole society can realize the treasures of my hometown."

In front of the computer, Jin Huabin wrote a preface to the exclusive interview with the lanterns. In the preface, he said that in order to promote the boneless lanterns in his hometown, the three of them took different paths, but they led to the same goal. Long-lasting happiness is never in the noise, and even more so in the hustle and bustle.

It is not in the glitz, it comes from the tranquility of the bright mind! Life is passing by, with a normal and natural heart. When the flowers have fallen and all the flowers have washed away, can we still remember the original heart of the past?

Su Yuehong looked at it, nodded repeatedly at first, and then shook her head and said: "Boss, you are so literary, but this whole article of yours seems to be an academic research article. Just do it, it's better than Xianju Steamed Buns."

You have to keep doing it, it’s not interesting, I guess not many netizens will like to watch it, so I need to add some spice.”
