Shandong Zhanhua: Deeply cultivating the "Hometown of Winter Jujube" to cultivate "ingenuity"

In the hometown of winter dates, Jin Gui's not only sweet jujube, but also jujube wood carvings.

The sculpture of Zhanhua jujube and wood is simple and bright, stable, stable, rigorous, simple, simple, and natural.

In the summer season, in the underground town where the "ancestor tree" of the winter jujube is located, Ding Guoyong, the inheritance of the "Zhanhua Zao Jubei Sculpture" and the head of the Non -Heritage Poverty Alleviation Employment Workshop of the Binzhou Woodcarving Nuclear Eagle Association, is not afraid of the heat, facing the big and small The wood and the roots of the trees were carved carefully, and the sweat beads rolled from time to time did not affect his focus.

The planting area of ​​winter jujube reaches hundreds of thousands of acres, which provides rich jujube resources for the woodcarving industry.

Look, in the small open space of Ding Guoyong's studio, hundreds of jujube wood carving finished products and semi -finished products are placed.从指节大小的枣核雕到半人高的枣木雕像，从花纹繁复的工艺品到质朴实用的板凳、织布梭，大到家具、花架、人物雕塑、枣如意摆件，小到长寿枣、 Ruyi Tea, handlebars, are full of dazzling.

Ding Guoyong is the fifth -generation inheritor of the woodcarving of the local Ding family and has been influenced by the family. He has been interested in this since he was a child. "In Zhanhua, there are hundreds of thousands of acres of winter jujube trees, which produce hundreds of thousands of tons of jujube resources every year. The raw materials are relatively abundant." Ding Guoyong said.

Ding Guoyong felt a pity for the trimmed jujube branches, so he took up the tools passed down from his ancestors and used jujube and trees to create. Among them, the exquisite ones are carvings such as flowers, birds, insects, portraits, and portrait dolls, and practical ones are town paper, Maza, rolling pin, and small handlebars. The more and more vigorous, Ding Guoyong's creative inspiration gradually burst out.

He introduced: "The growth cycle of jujube trees is very long. The trunk grows to the bowl of the bowl for decades or even hundreds of years, and I use the material to choose the jujube core, which is even more rare."

There are many processes for jujube and wood carving.有遴（选料）、净（刀斧去除根丫）、汲（水泡）、煮（蒸煮去胶）、阴（自然风干）、烘（加温干燥）、样（画影图形）、制（ The production process), repair (modification), grinding (polishing), light (polishing), paint (paint wax) and other processes.

Whether it is the thickness and scale of the materials, the square, straightness of the lines, or the expression of the carved texture, color, and characters, it is the key to carving. On the surface coating, the mane paint process is mainly based on the paint coating, which makes the natural texture of the furniture and carved wood more thoroughly, showing the original style of "jujube stick".

Ding Guoyong introduced that he would take out seven or eight hours a day for creation. Now the small and practical works such as Maza, pen holders, and town paper are widely popular, and the price is mostly 50-100 yuan.

Create the characteristic industry of woodcarving "dipping jujube wood" to enrich the expansion of local jujube culture

"In Zhanhua, this industry is a potential project for helping rural revitalization. Relying on the vast jujube resources, we can develop, produce, and sell for the development, production and sales of long -lived wood carvings in dipping winter dates to form a unique industrial chain to drive more folks To get rich. "Ding Guoyong said.

In 2014, Ding Guoyong founded the two trademarks of Zhanhua Shuirun Tiancheng Folk Culture Communication Co., Ltd. in 2015. In 2015, the registered trademark "Taishan Grandma's Mother's Family" and "Hydramal Tiancheng" were established, and the "Mrs. Taishan Grandma's Mother's Family" manipple was established.

At present, jujube carving is not only loved in physical stores and tourist attractions, but also consumers are also welcomed by consumers on online platforms and short video platforms. Ding Guoyong also purchased live equipment, which attracted many fans to watch and place orders.

Since 2018, the Cultural Tourism Bureau of Zhanhua District, Binzhou Wood Carving Nuclear Carving Association, Xiawa Town and Ding Guoyong have jointly created the non -heritage poverty alleviation and employment workshop of the Binzhou Wood Carving Nuclear Carving Association, and regularly organized process lectures and free training skills. In the past 4 years, 87 training courses have been held, more than a thousand people are trained directly, and more than 50 members have been driven to start a business, indirectly drive 3,000 people to employment, drive local jujube farmers to engage in woodcarving production and creation, and create a "dipped jujube wood" woodcarving Special industries.

Nowadays, jujube carving has become an indispensable part of the local "jujube culture". Not only can it produce green and non -harmful winter dates, but also "plant" jujube tea, jujube honey, jujube wine, but also make jujube wood carvings. The value of a winter jujube tree can be maximized. From a small workshop to corporate, from the local area to the online world, the craftsmanship of jujube and wood carving is moving towards its "poem and distant".
