Baigongfang: Inheriting hundreds of years of handicraft skills, it is an intangible cultural heritage, and Beijingers respectfully call it "Rabbit Master"

I have been in Beijing for so many years. Every year during the traditional holidays such as the Spring Festival or when I travel to Beijing, I can see a small ornament that looks like a rabbit. I only found out after asking my friends in Beijing. The more serious trinkets are called "Grandpa Rabbit".

Since ancient times, Beijing has had a deep culture of "Ye'er". Being able to call a rabbit "Ye'er" is also a respectful name for it. In ancient times, there was a saying of Chang'e Jade Rabbit. He has surpassed human beings, so he has been "deified" since then. In order to show his tallness and mightiness, people put on armor and battle robes for the literary and artistic Tutu, and put two colorful flags behind him to show that he is a rabbit. The image of Ye Neng Wen Neng Wu.

In addition to being in the homes of ordinary people in Beijing, Lord Rabbit can also be seen in many tourist attractions. Lord Rabbit has also evolved from a traditional appearance to many modern shapes. The traditional image of Master Rabbit is serious and unsmiling, but now You can see many smiling and cute rabbits, which make people feel more cute and friendly.

In Baigongfang, there is a hand-crafted workshop of Rabbit Master. You can experience the process of making Rabbit Master. The soil for making Rabbit Master is taken from kaolin. It is said that this soil has hundreds of millions of years. After the impurities sink, take out For the soil part in the middle, the collected soil is washed and dried, and some rice soup, cotton and other ingredients are added to make the soil more durable.

Make the mold of the rabbit that needs to be made in advance, put the soil into the mold, and the process of pressing the embryo and making the embryo requires repetition and patience. The final embryo repairing process also requires special care. After the completion, turn the embryo over. A new-looking rabbit came out, and after drying naturally, the next step of painting can be carried out after drying.

The process of color painting requires the craftsman to have some painting skills. It requires proficiency, meticulousness and imagination and the ability to match colors. Apply paint layer by layer to draw a unique work. Present to everyone a warm and exquisite artwork.
