Starting from a paper into the field of ancient Chinese gold and silver instruments, Yang Zhishui has gone through the splendor of gold and silver in his life.

From the "distant pictures" of the two Han Dynasty, the "Bird Birds" in the Five Dynasties of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the "Spring of the Family" of the Song and Jin Yuan, the "prosperity to the end", to the "end of the song" of the Qing Dynasty, and the water of Yang Zhiwen wrote the water. The trend and reasons of gold and silver instruments have changed from simple to complex and aesthetic changes for thousands of years.

The picture is selected from Yangshui "China Gold and Silver"

The "China Gold and Silver Instrument" just came out in early August is a shocking work that can be visually given. There are more than 1,900 pages of five volumes and more than 4,000 illustrations. After completing this big book with his own strength, Yang Zhishu wrote: "Just like all authors, a manuscript will feel like a responsible feeling. This is especially true, because it is the most laborious one in my life. Book. "

Starting from a paper began to enter the field of ancient Chinese gold and silver instruments, it took 20 years to read the test and enrollment, and finally completed the study from the pre -Qin Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty. Power- "China Gold and Silver" was written in her academic life. Many years ago, Mr. Sun Jie, the teacher of Yang Zhishui, had the idea of ​​doing the history of gold and silver, but it felt difficult. At that time, Yang Zhishui felt more difficult. After that, "after a long trek", this big book was finally completed.

"Relaxing" gold and silverware

Every time I go to a foreign museum, Yang Zhishui will tell my lover: If, in case, what accidents I have, I must submit this U disk to the publisher editor, which contains all the information of this trip.

Yang Zhishui, real name Zhao Liya (also known as Zhao Yonghui), enjoys a special allowance of the State Council. She had previously been an editor of "Reading" magazine and has long been engaged in famous research. In the book "Fit: Golden Ping Mei Reading" Reading "Those", she wrote how she first entered the research of ancient Chinese material culture, which was inseparable from her academic interest in gold and silver jewelry. The gold and silver jewelry in "Jin Ping Mei" can be said to be the small and small of "Jin Ping Mei" research, but it is the entrance to the research of the famous water. At that time, the original intention was to write a book called "16 Years of Wanli". Or the question of silver silk Internet truck). Later, the research famous replaced the writing plan of "16 years of Wanli". Regarding the gold and silver jewelry itself, she could promote her to continuously pursue, focusing on the development and evolution of one thing in the history of material culture, and from many "small history" Digging a little bit, Yang Zhizhi's increasingly abundant examples show more details in the development of utensils.

Gold and silver wares have a special attribute, which is different from other gems, jade, calligraphy, painting, monument, porcelain and other utensils. As a result, gold and silverware can be reshaped multiple times. Many gold and silver wares have been re -made into new utensils, so that the previous items cannot be retained, and the old and new are replaced. We missed a large number of early gold and silverware that could have been seen.

This is why in the world of scholars, the two ends of the civilization of gold and silver divisions, the former represents the three generations of ritual systems, and the latter does not see the classics. As Li Yan said in the preface written by "China Gold and Silver Ware", Li Qingzhao once said that when he was in trouble, he would first abandon gold and silver jewelry, indicating that since ancient times, the world has been attached to gold and stone, but gold and silver are paying attention to gold and silver. Use value. Whether it is a prosperous or troubled times, there are few ancient gold and silver wares, and there have never been a history of gold and silver. Therefore, it is three difficulty in the gold and silver instrument. First, it is necessary to be "the ancient literature and craftsmanship are clearly the chest". ; These three points are not easy to do, and they have both.

From the perspective of Yang Zhishui, gold and silver are first of all wealth, but at the same time, they have many excellent qualities, especially gold. Extremely ductantly, high temperature resistance, easy to cut, bend, beat, stretch, cast, facilitate processing into various artworks, and after polishing and polishing, it shows the beauty of color. Even when the concept of "art" has not yet appeared, "beauty" is the common pursuit of users and producers. Gold and silver instruments are naturally a dual quality of richness and beauty -it is wealth and a artistic form, and through the method of molting, it can make it repeatedly changing the appearance. Therefore It is a long time.

See the ancients with antiquities

Many readers are familiar with the water of Yang because of her poems and her "Jin Ping Mei" research. She knows, "History is orthodox, famous science is a trail." It's gold and silver. History research can use text to tell the stories of colorful stories. So these details of these details of the research are in addition to providing physical and images for historical research, and verifying historical narratives. What is the significance? Is it icing on the cake or giving charcoal in the snow?

Literature and history are not separated. Whether it is the "words of words" or historical archeological traceability, it is actually a exploration of social life in China for thousands of years. For Yangzhishui, there is literature in gold and silver wares, whether it is the correspondence between the gold and silver instruments and the Song poetry, or the corresponding correspondence between the gold and silver jewelry and opera novels of the Ming Dynasty. a different feeling. In the eyes of Yangshui, the research of famous things faces "things". Although things are used by people, it has been separated from others when it becomes a research object, and naturally it has long been completely separated from its living environment. Yang Zhishui hopes that he can return these gold and silverware to the "use site", and solve the problem of what this utensil is designed, produced, and consumed. She has a wish to hide in her heart, that is, through the encounter of herself, seeing the ancients, understanding the ancients, and being called in the encounter with people, she was called and her life was. Yang Zhishui said that gold and silver wares are "vulgar to bones". However, she also believes that gold and silver wares have spread the fashion of the times, and played the role of being greedy and chasing in social life. Compared with other door categories, the production process of gold and silver utensils and gold and silver jewelry is not complicated, and the design is important here. In the classical era, this creative idea of ​​constantly excavating composition elements will bring special joy to people who admire fashion. The research purpose of Yang Zhishui is not the history of scientific and technological development of gold and silver wares, but in the history of shape, decoration, and style that is closely related to the history of social life. In other words, it is not the compilation of the exhaustive historical data, nor is it in archeological methods to classify and divide the aggregate of the utensils, but based on the premise of experiments. The description method is described to display the gold and silverware in the history of arts and crafts and social life. For example, the most popular of the two -Han, Wei, Jin and silver in the book mentioned in the book is cloud -gas patterns. Society, and integration into daily life, becomes an almost ubiquitous popular pattern.

Don't tired of this, just because of love

Behind the editor to publishing, this set of books is actually the academic accumulation of Yang Zhishui throughout his life. In her own words, it is "collecting armpits into fur". Yang Zhishui said that his memory is not good, and he is not so talented, but just like the ancients taking notes, a little bit, slowly stringing into a line, a diligence, and hard work. This is her. This is her. Long term. Although the ruler is short but long, it is accumulated in this inch, encouraging the short -inch length of myself. Although the study of famous things is tedious, the water does not feel, because it is her aspiration, and it is difficult to change love.

The view of historians Qi Dongfang has developed rapidly in recent years, and more and more high -quality pictures have been developed. Readers will be surprised to feel that the unearthed by jewelry is so exquisite and exquisite. And the scholarship of Yang Zhi, seized the opportunity, grasped a lot of information, visited a large number of museums, observed his own eyes, touched the real objects, and then tied into it. Yang Zhi can achieve today's "China Gold and Silver Ware", which fully shows that when we have a solid knowledge of historical literature and a passionate attitude, we diligently daily, and we can wear it daily.

Yang Zhishui's text can feel the indifferent warmth. When creating a manuscript, Yang Zhishui insisted on writing on the paper with a pen, and then entered the computer after the manuscript. "China Gold and Silver" even uses the typography of vertical versions from right to left. It seems to deliberately open the distance and restore the ancient meaning. It does not care about the "public" or "niche".

Those who are familiar with Yangshui know that she rarely accepts interviews, rarely entertains social networking, and puts all her energy into the manuscript. Yang Zhishui loves Qian Qianshu, and insists on writing "Daily Lesson" every day, and from the early 1980s, Yang Zhishui has diary every day -which cultural relics and what kind of gains have been visited. Uninterrupted.

For the editor, the book of boiled water seems to be extremely tedious and exhausting job: all pictures and corresponding icons need to be re -typeset up once the modification, but until the eve of the book is paid, the water of the Yang Zhi is still modified over and over again. Essence Almost all the editors she had contacted were moved by her focus and perseverance.

Thousands of pictures in the book are taken by the Yangshui couples. In the high level, they often "calmly look at each other and look down on these famous photos in front of the computer. When writing, her mood was just like the gold and silvermaker "hammers couldn't help knocked", and felt "the same is shameful." Therefore, it is necessary to continue to modify it and supplement the latest content. For such a large number of pictures, graphic inlaid, and color printing books, each change means pushing down and re -doing, but this is the insistence of Yang Zhishui.

After the publication of "China Gold and Silver" was published, Yang Zhishi still felt that I was not waiting. For the shortness of life and the vastness of life, the water is satisfied. She thanked her for encountering the best teacher, fortunately to get a happy marriage, and enter the best reading environment. In the process, this kind of demand like a case brings her huge happiness and keeps her passion.
