Beijing in early autumn is breezy and cool. Beijing Kerry Center, which has always been labeled as business, high-end, fashion and trendy, has a different scene. From September 2nd to 4th, Beijing Kerry Center joined hands with Shenshan Bazaar to create the "Always On Fair Wuye Jiashi· Quiet Environment Blooming" intangible cultural heritage night economic market, surrounded by the most beautiful water curtain garden in the CBD of the capital. The culture of "China's deep mountain aesthetics" brings a surprise feast of intangible cultural heritage combining music, movies, cultural and creative handicrafts and food, allowing the traditional culture in the mountains to enter commercial and international cities, re-giving it a trendy and young form of presentation.
Walking into the most beautiful water curtain garden in Beijing CBD, the Chinese-style gauze dances with the wind, and the CCTV headquarters building stands behind. Towering high-rise buildings are like mountains in the city, but this "mountain" is more convenient, more enlightened, and more diverse. The handicrafts and local traditional intangible cultural heritage from the depths of the mountains quickly became popular here and became a popular check-in spot, attracting groups of young people to stop and watch and rush to buy.
Accompanied by live band performances and a wide range of hand-made experiences and handmade cultural and creative booths, a series of interactive experience activities that are participatory, ornamental, and interesting are presented one by one. There are three areas in the outdoor part. The upgraded version of the bazaar allows visitors to experience the thousand-year-old bazaar culture. With the rapid development of society, bazaars have gradually faded out of people's sight, and shopping malls and shopping centers have gradually replaced them. When returning to life, people are often more willing to come to the bazaar to "taobao". In particular, cultural and creative products and intangible cultural heritage works with cultural connotations in ethnic minority areas are more attractive.
Wuyejia City entered the bustling CBD, and the intangible cultural heritage culture lit up the capital's "night economy". The more prosperous the city, the more prosperous the nightlife. Also in the evening, some places have already fallen asleep, while in the big cities, the lights are often bright in the early morning. How to create a better, more active, and more connotative nightlife culture and promote the development of the night economy is the answer that businessmen have been looking for in recent years. Wuyejia Market organically combines cultural and creative products, fresh delicacies, flower fabrics, traditional handicrafts, band performances, intangible cultural heritage exhibitions and other cultural, tourism and commercial activities. Created a Wuyejia Market with both strong cultural connotation and novel trendy experience.
Walking into the indoor exhibition area, you will be greeted with a strong national art style. The increasingly popular intangible cultural heritage not only carries the traditional culture and historical memory of China, but also demonstrates the wisdom and artistic thinking of the Chinese working people. Today, with the gradual industrialization of traditional handicrafts, more and more items in our lives are made by machines. Although the products produced are more standard, they always feel that something is missing. In fact, what is missing is nothing but the time and energy devoted by the handicraft craftsmen. In other words, what is missing is an emotion.
What is commendable is that in a modern society where the pace of life is getting faster and faster, and people are pursuing practical results and catching up with progress, there are still a group of people who are sticking to traditional handicrafts. An intangible cultural heritage handicraft may take days, months or even years to complete, while machine production may only take days, hours or even tens of minutes to complete. However, it is this hand-made day after day and year after year that makes intangible cultural heritage "intangible cultural heritage". Traditional culture may not come so fast. We, who are used to the fast-paced life, should step down properly and patiently appreciate a handmade intangible cultural heritage artwork. How to protect and inherit intangible cultural heritage depends not only on experts and scholars, but also on young people who are willing to learn and understand.
This handmade leather embroidered bag is very popular in the deep mountain market. According to reports, the embroidery style of each bag is different, and this kind of embroidery also has a special name called "horsetail embroidery".
Horsetail embroidery is a special embroidery skill that uses horsetail as an important raw material and has been passed down from generation to generation by Shui women. It is a traditional folk craft and is known as the "living fossil" of embroidery. This unique folk traditional craft of the Shui nationality is distributed in the Shui nationality villages of Sandong, Zhonghe, Tingpai, Tangzhou, Shuilong and other townships in Sandu. It is the oldest and most vital craft in Sandu Shui Autonomous County of Guizhou Province. Known as the "living fossil" of embroidery, it is a precious art material for studying the folk customs, folk customs, totem worship and national culture of the Shui nationality.
The process of horsetail embroidery is very complicated, and the embroidery made by this process has a sense of bas-relief, and the shape is abstract, generalized and exaggerated. Because the craftsmanship can only be made by hand and cannot be replaced by machine embroidery, it is also more precious.
Inside the Kerry Center, we can see many intangible cultural heritage products brought by the deep mountain market. Every big production is almost an orphan, only this one. And those mass-produced handicrafts are all sketched out bit by bit by the inheritors of intangible heritage. Beijing velvet bird is a general term for traditional handicrafts such as flowers, birds, insects, grasses, animals, and landscapes made of silk velvet. The production of Beijing velvet birds began in the early Qing Dynasty and has a history of more than 300 years. During the development process, it gradually formed its own unique artistic style. It fully demonstrates the wisdom and exquisite skills of the ancient working people. It is now identified as a national intangible cultural heritage preservation project by the Ministry of Culture.
As an ancient traditional folk art, velvet birds (flowers) appeared before the Tang Dynasty in China, but the craftsmanship was simple and rough at that time, and the production of velvet birds reached a very high level in the Tang Dynasty. China's velvet birds (velvet flowers) are divided into two schools, the northern school headed by Beijing and the southern school headed by Nanjing and Yangzhou. In a broad sense, Beijing velvet birds (velvet flowers) include flowers, birds, insects, grasses, and animals made of velvet. All kinds of velvet products, such as auspicious characters, patterns, patterns, characters, etc., are developed from the headdress velvet flowers in folk handicrafts.
A gift from the Bouyei people. Among all the products in the exhibition area, there is such a surprising product. The blue fabric velvet cover, the pear flower pattern embroidered with flat embroidery, and the notebook made of recycled paper are very eye-catching. Opening the notebook reveals a handwritten thank you note and a photo. This letter of thanks comes from the embroiderers of the Buyi ethnic group, who are also the makers of this notebook. Their sincere words are touching. They rely on the labor of their hands to get paid for making such notebooks to support their families and children. A photo records the true appearance of the embroidered ladies, and also conveys the profound culture deep in the mountains.
With the development of the Internet and the development of new business models, more and more intangible cultural heritage products have been "rediscovered". They come out of the deep mountains, they come out of the extremely cold plateau, they come out of the vast grassland, they come out of the forest, sea and snowfield, bringing people rich traditional culture and exquisite handicrafts.
