Happy Yingze 丨 Fangci on the eggshell ingenuity

Eggshells are natural artworks, with endless vitality under the weak appearance. It has a long history of artistic creation on eggshells. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, when the folk festive marriage, blessing celebration, and expensive son, people would dye red paint on the eggs for their friends and relatives.

As a result, some people specifically set up red eggs, and people call it "Easter Eggs". Later, vendors drawing some patterns such as flowers, birds, fish and insects, Facebook, etc. on the eggs, and the business is booming. Under the inheritance of a generation of artists, the egg craftsmanship has gradually improved. They hollowed out the eggs and carved exquisite patterns on the surface of the egg shell, forming an art treasure with high appreciation -egg carving art.

Although the carrier is fragile, it has a tough core. Carving on the 0.3 mm thick egg shells must master skilled carving techniques, but also must have sufficient patience. Yue Limin, 63 -year -old egg sculpture artist from Haixi Community, Liuxiang Street, he cleverly combined the continuation of the historical context with modern aesthetic, and carved the zodiac signs, twenty -four filial piety, piano, calligraphy and painting, Confucius culture, Yue Fei culture, and Yue Fei on the small egg shells. Culture, flowers, birds, fish and insects ... inject a touch of touching colors into this little art world.

According to Yue Limin, the egg carving art is referred to as egg carvings. It uses various carving techniques to engrave exquisite patterns on the surface of poultry eggshell cortex. It has high appreciation value and is a magical and special art. Egg carving art integrates carving and painting, and uses complex and variable carving techniques, such as shade, yang carving, relief, native carvings, carvings, set carvings, lining, hollow, inlaid, etc.

It ’s easy to learn egg carving. Not all eggshells can become artworks. This requires the egg sculptors to use thousands of days and nights to engrave thousands of eggshells to accumulate and precipitate. Yue Limin liked to paint from an early age and has a certain painting skills, but he has been busy with work for many years, and his personal hobbies have been put aside. After reading the art of egg carving, he had a strong interest after he learned the art of egg carving. In 2020, after retirement, Yue Limin officially began to try egg carving art creation.

Yue Limin's sculpture tools are mainly wallpaper knives and special small electric drills. At the beginning, when he was in contact with the egg sculpture, it was difficult to master the strength. Without paying attention, the eggshell was cracked or broken. After continuous attempts, he gradually carved simple patterns on the eggshell, but when creating a complicated pattern, as long as a small mistake, the eggshell carving, the entire work was scrapped, and he needed to start from scratch. Before creating, in order not to destroy the eggshell shape, you need to drill a small eye on the eggshell, use a syringe to suck the egg liquid, and then inject water and disinfectant to repeatedly clean it, keep the internal drying of the eggshell and then start creating.

After two years of devoted creation, Yue Limin made more than 400 pieces of egg carving works, but his favorite is Yue Fei's cultural theme. Many of his works are Yue Fei's image and the theme of the "loyalty" culture of "loyalty" in the country. One of them uses the full text of the full text of "Manjiang Red" with a cursive cursive book. There are 93 words. No break. For egg carving works made of an article like "Man Jiang Hong", under normal circumstances, if there are no mistakes in the middle link, it needs to be carved about 3 times and it takes a week to complete.

Yue Limin said with a smile that his family has bid farewell to poached eggs and boiled eggs in the past two years. On the table at home, the dishes that must be made every day are egg soup and scrambled eggs. According to his estimates, nearly 1,000 yuan in the cost of buying eggs every year.

He gave his works to neighbors, friends, and children, and made the artistic egg carving art understand more. Egg carving art not only stays on the carved knife, but also has high demands on the cultural accomplishment and painting and calligraphy accomplishments of the sculptor. Yue Limin continued to advance in calligraphy and painting and Chinese studies. Under his influence, his family also began to like painting and calligraphy art and Chinese studies. The niece began to practice calligraphy. His brother -in -law was fascinated by Chinese painting.

"I can also teach the egg carving art to the children in the community to inherit them!" Yue Limin said.

Du Hongyan, director of Haixi Community, said that the community will set up a cultural and creative booth to exhibit Yue Limin's egg carving art works, and actively contact the relevant cultural departments to help him apply to become an intangible cultural heritage inheritor.
