Li Yunyun's Gourd World

In the summer season, grass and trees. The vitality of vitality triggers creativity, which can be seen in the "Hanyun Gourd Pavilion" studio in Xu Mengzhen, Wulian County, Rizhao Wulian County.

Pushing in the door, in the small space, the gourd carved with exquisite patterns is arranged neatly on the display frame. "This is a part of the gourd pyrograph I made, because most of the works have been sold while selling it." Li Yunyun, the founder of the "Han Yun Gourd Pavilion" studio, told reporters warmly that the gourd meaning Fulu means Fulu Since ancient times, it has been loved by the public.

In order to keep up with the trend of the times, Li Yunyun actively integrates modern elements in the process of creation, and produces cultural and creative derivative products such as gourd bracelets, gourd tea sets, etc., further meeting the aesthetic needs of customers in all ages. At present, Li Yunyun's gourd products have been sold all over the country, and many customers want to buy it.

Girls' father's business, gourd painting

There are many artistic carriers, such as the vast stars. How did Li Yunyun stand in the vast cultural and creative world with simple gourds? Faced with the doubts of the reporter, Li Yunyun smiled and gave the word "quality" in vain.

"Gourd pyrograph, simply painting on the gourd." Li Yunyun said that he liked this skill, which can be regarded as "female father's business."

It turned out that Li Yunyun's father, Li Chunfu, made wood prints. In the 1990s, he was often carved on furniture, and these products were quite selling well in Wulian County Department Store Building. After his ears, Li Yunyun practiced carving on his own gourd in his own time, and slowly learned a good skill.

Around 2000, modern technology quickly seized the market due to the characteristics of simple operation, low cost, and mass production, and traditional skills gradually moved to the scenes and became the thoughts of their feelings deeply in their hearts. Li Chunfu's furniture and wooden prints are increasingly fading out of people's sight ... With the increase of age, Li Yunyun also stepped onto the society and began to make a living.

"I have done a lot of work, and later opened a stationery store." Li Yunyun told reporters that it was relatively easy to see the shop. In order to pass the time, she picked up the technique of gourd sculpture again and made products in the store for sale.

At that time, many people were not optimistic about this. "Relatives, neighbors, etc. are more worried. They feel that no one will spend money and buy a gourd at home." Li Yunyun told reporters that in her opinion, every gourd is a unique individual. Performance, they can be a sustenance that is full of blessings and good.

This view caters to the fashion wind at that time. That was around 2012, the retro style became popular again, many traditional skills came out of the mountain, and more and more people were willing to pay for traditional things. "I once rushed to the temple fair, and I saw someone selling gourd bait." Li Yunyun said that others could sell it and she could sell it. She felt that in a sense, this was an opportunity for the times to give traditional craftsmen.

Refine skills, grasp the market

As a result, Li Yunyun practiced Qin and continued to improve his gourd carving skills. "When I was a kid, the foundation was still good. Although I did n’t touch the gourd for a while, as I continued to make, the feeling of carving still returned quickly.” Li Yunyun said that the elements of flowers, birds, bamboo, mountains and other elements have long been printed in the printed in the flowers, birds, bamboo, and mountains. In her mind, she will carve according to the gourd and her own thoughts, and at the same time, she also thinks about how to make the gourd pyrograph more marketing in the moment.

With the market, the output of the product can drive the better spread of skills. Li Yunyun also has a clear understanding of the product types of different people. "The elderly like auspicious things, and the rich bamboo, horses and horses in traditional gourd pyrographs can attract them." Li Yunyun said that young people like more fashionable things, so the tentacles of her creation must be directed to New tide and exquisite range extend.

With the innovation of creative skills, there is a horse with creative ideas. Li Yunyun said that although there is this, it is not enough, and the quality of the production of raw materials — the quality of gourds is not enough. "I have worked with a large -scale base of gourd planting for many years to choose a gourd that passes the quality." Li Yunyun said that he would also instruct customers to do a good job of wiping and cleaning work for gourd bait in daily life to avoid mildew and other problems of gourd.

In this way, thanks to superb carving skills, carefully expanded creation, and exquisite gourd raw materials, Li Yunyun's gourd pyrographs frequently came out, capturing the hearts of men, women, and children, and won a lot of reputation.

Keep love, keep flowing

The reporter learned that in 2017, Wulian Gourd Painting was announced as a county -level non -heritage project, and Li Yunyun became a representative inheritor in Wulian County's non -heritage gourd bait. In 2017 to 2019, he won the bronze award of the "Little Xiangshan" cup pyrograph of the cup; in 2019, the "Han Yun Hulu Pavilion" studio was named "Rizhao Anti -Return Workshop"; in 2020, the work "Fulu Bandai 》 Outstanding award of the "Rizhao City Culture and Tourism Commodity Competition" and the "Shandong Provincial Non -Heritage+Tourism Cultural and Creative Competition" Creative Outstanding Award; 2020-2021 participated in the China International Cultural Tourism Expo for two consecutive sessions. This year, gourd pyrographs are stationed in the flagship store of "Fairy Five Lotus" and Rizhao Hand Cultural and Creative Museum located in Dongyi Town ...

The achievements of these achievements are inseparable from Li Yunyun's love and concentration of gourd pyrograph. For more than 10 years, she has already made the gourd into a career, and she rely on the stationery store to reborn into a spiritual gourd Pavilion.

"Now, most of the orders are customized by customers. There are customers everywhere, all over the country." Li Yunyun said that she would also carry out autonomous creation. For example, she designed a set of works for Wulian Mountain. Through the design of elements such as Wanghai Tower, Yingshanhong, Bailu Bay and other elements, she fully demonstrated the good appearance of the green mountains and green water in Wulian County. In addition, Li Yunyun also cooperated with some scenic spots to sell his own works, and realized the collision with regional tourism, and became a traditional art business card that promoted the Wulian scenery.

"I treat each work like my child." Li Yunyun said that what she wanted was very simple, that is, it was down -to -earth, seriously to make his own gourd baptism. In the future, she will also actively use the online platform to make efforts to enhance the popularity of gourd pyrographs through online live broadcasts and other forms, and also inject new vitality into the development of traditional skills.

The shadow of the tree shadow, the sun sprinkled into the room through the window. Li Yunyun was sitting on a wooden chair, and a pair of clever hands were carved on the water flowing on the dry gourd with an electric soldering iron. The lifelike paintings were quietly presented, and Li Yunyun quietly walked in her gourd world.

"The belly is tolerant of the world, and the floating and disdain of the sky." The character of the gourd is also reflected on the heirs of Li Yunyun, the five lotus non -relic pyrodes. (Reporter Rong Xinxin)
